"Not today" Eric whispered into my neck. I tensed, wondering if it was just my desperate mine clasping at straws until he spoke again, still moving his body over mine in a predatory manner "I must make it look like I am attacking you for the camera, just keep wriggling, look scared, don't worry he cannot see your face from there" I was wriggling my mind saying thanks to all the gods that Eric could control himself "Now this is what we need to do, we both need to heal, you wound id fatal and I am getting weaker every moment. When I bite you, you bite me we will heal each other" He said still sniffing me neck. I nodded slightly to let him know I understood "this may hurt" he whispered, leaning into my neck, he licked the spot and I gasped at the sudden pain but soon the pain was gone and he was just gently pulling on my wound. I never let vampires feed of me, other than the few time it was taken by force I had never fed a vampire other than Eric, not willingly.

I turned my head into Eric' shoulder, I knew I would have to bite and I hoped my teeth were strong enough. I put my teeth against his skin and bit down at hard as possible, it wasn't long until I felt the cool liquid of Eric's blood fill my mouth and slid down my throat. Eric shuddered at the feeling and pulled me closer.

Last time I had taken Eric's blood I couldn't taste it. I couldn't taste anything since it was right after Rene attacked me but now I got the full taste of it. It was sweet yet salty, I didn't know how else to describe it but I tasted like… power. I bit harder and sucked on the wound, I could feel my muscles fusing back together and my skin healing over, and it was amazing to feel. I had of course been healed before but mostly by healers and not from vampires. Also with the addition of the bond, I could feel everything Eric was feeling while he tasted me and I realised just how turned on me biting made him.

I felt Eric remove him fangs and lick the bite marks, slowly and I followed suite removing the pressure from my teeth and licking the skin until he healed over.

"You taste… amazing" Eric whispered, his lips brushing my skin. I wanted to give in the feelings he was creating in me but we didn't have time for that now.

"Okay what now?" I asked trying to clear my head of all my lustful thoughts.

"Now we have to get out of here, without the camera seeing" He said uncertainly and I could tell, this part of the plan he had yet to figure out. We laid there in silence; Eric kept his body stiff and moving rather aggressively to keep the façade.

I looked down the side of Eric and saw the cage with a were huddled in the corner, he was cowering at nothing and terrified. His gate was right under the camera and I knew that was my chance.

"Hey!" I called out but he didn't move

"Sookie what are you doing?" Eric asked his breath tickling my neck

"Shut up" I whispered "Hey! Were Horse!" I yelled and the guy slowly raised his head to look at us "You want out?" I asked and he hesitantly nodded "Well we can get you out but you have to do me a favour" he nodded again "You see that camera" another nod "I need you to reach behind it and pull on either a yellow or green wire" He looked up at the camera then back to me

"I can't reach it" He said standing to the edge of the cage and reaching out

"you will, let me handle that" I said looking up at Eric, I reached hand down keeping it next to Eric's hip and looked up at him "Hold on to me" I said and he wrapped one hand around me and the other around a bar of the cage "You my anchor" I said simply and he nodded, holding me flush against him.

I cleared my mind of everything, where we were, who we were and just concentrated on channelling my emotions. I opened my eyes, focusing on the lock on the were's gate and like I had when I first met Godric; I charged my emotions and magic energy towards the lock, watching it shatter to the ground. Eric gripped me at the kick back his us. I would have been launched into the cage wall if he hadn't of been holding me.

"Now!" I yelled to the were who ran from his cage and pulled the camera cord. Now everything had to be done quickly, we didn't have long until Edgington sent some men to fix the camera.

We jumped to our feet and I was happy to feel that all my limps were back to their original strength. I aimed my hand at the cage and channelled my emotions, shattering our lock. I bounced back into Eric who caught me and we ran for the Door while the were broke the other locks, letting out all of Edgington's prisoners.

They all ran towards the main stairs but I led Eric into the other room and closed the door. The vampires were leaving their own rooms now to fight the threat.

I led Eric over to the window.

"Are you well enough to fly?" I asked and he nodded grabbing m and launching us out the window. Below us in the grounds were the prisoners and Edgington's men fighting "over there" Eric flew us over to the window and we climbed in only to see Bill still lying on the floor in pain and Lorena with a few guards grinning at us wickedly.

"Well look who tuned up" she laughed "if you were smart you would have left when you could still walk" she hissed and her guard swarmed Eric

"No one ever accused me of being smart" I retorted and he lunged at me but I was just fast enough to duck her and she landed on the bed, turning to he and hissed loudly.

She jumped again hitting me, sending us vaulting into a door; we went through the door and landed in an ensuite bathroom.

"You may have dodged me once but you will not do so again" she jumped but I used our surrounding to my advantage and rolled out of the may so she smashed into the stainless steel bath tub. On her impact the metal bent in.

While she was reeling from the impact I jumped to my feet, grabbed a splinter of wood from the door and rushed over to her looking down into her shocked and angry eyes before I plunged the stake into her chest. She exploded all over he and I fell backwards onto my butt on the tile floor.

I looked down at myself covered in blood.

'Great! I actually really liked this dress' I scowled down at the bits of vampire laying on me before I remember that Eric had been attacked by the guards.

I ran out just in time to see Eric, tare the head from the last one. I stopped and just looked at him. Now any normal person would be terrified of the man standing before her covered in vampire pieces, his fangs on display and panting as his eyes scanned for any more danger but me I am just messed up enough to find the sight… beautiful.

Eric was a warrior and when he looked like that, he was himself and I could almost picture him as a human cutting down his enemies as they stormed him on the battle field.

Then a groan from on the floor, pulled my attention from Eric and I looked down at Bill, who still had my heel protruding from his neck.

"If you are going to kill me, just do it" He spluttered the silver in my heel had poisoned him.

"No I think we will let the queen deal with your treachery, she could probably think of ways much crueller then us" I smirked down at the fear that ran over his face. I knew it probably made me a bad person but he had tried to rape me and nearly got me killed, I think I've earned it.

"I don't know Sookie, I have some pretty interesting ideas" Eric snarled down at bill, lifting him easily and hoisting him over his shoulder. He wrapped his other arm around me and launched into the air, high above Jackson. I had no doubt that we hadn't heard the last of the king of Mississippi but for now we were on our way back to Louisiana and I was more than grateful.
