The next day I was sitting in Sookie's kitchen to see how things were going for her and Jason. Turns out things where not so great; Jason had turned himself in for the murders and Sookie was just trying to get by. "But I don't understand if he doesn't remember how does he know he murdered them? He doesn't seem like the type to really harm anyone unless provoked."

"I know. But he won't listen; he is dead set on seeing this through. The V is messing with his making him see things or something." Sookie explained while clearing the plates from lunch. "He even gave Rene his truck." She scoffed.

"I'll help anyway I can." I smiled at her.

"Thanks. Do you think you can come by tomorrow and help me sort through some of Gran's things? I get off at five tomorrow." I could see tears prick her eyes.

"Yeah, I can come by for an hour or so." I smiled 'Before I have to get ready for Eric.' I smiled to myself then quickly gave myself a mental snap 'I shouldn't be this happy around Sookie she just lost her Gran.' I scolded myself.

"What are you doing with Eric?" She asked and then tapped her temple. "Telepath remember, it may be hard to hear you but it's still there.

"Oh." I blushed looking away.

"It's fine, I need a distraction anyway." She sat back down at the table with two iced teas.

"He is uh… taking me out on a date." I mumbled looking away.

"He's what?!" She chocked on her drink a little. "ERIC? ERIC NORTHMAN?! Is taking you a human out on a date?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I narrowed my eyes a little.

"Nothing, nothing." She said quickly. "It's just he didn't seem like the type. And from what Bill has told me he's more of the have a human for dinner type."

I frowned a little, "I thought that first, but I don't know he just… it just seems right to be near him. I know I'll probably get hurt by him, whether he does it intentionally or not." I felt my frown deepen. "But I also feel that whatever shit storm may happen we could handle."

"What makes you so sure?"

"Instinct." I was choosing my words carefully; I didn't want too many people knowing what I can do. I know Sookie could relate the most to what I was going through but a part of me felt she would become preachy and claim Eric was only using me for my abilities. She looked unconvinced with my answer but I ignored her. "I got to go Sook. If you need anything, call me and I'll come right over. Okay?" She nodded on response. "I'll see you tomorrow around fiveish." I trotted out of her house and made my way down the road.

The next day I woke up some time after one and I had a weird chill run down my spine as I walked to my closet. It was unsettling, like a cold hand tracing my spine. I tried not to think too much about it and just shook it off as nerves for the evening. 'I wonder what I should wear tonight?' I pondered as I flipped through my cloths in my closet. "I don't even know where he is taking me." I pouted. I slammed the door shut and banged my head against it. "Why is dating so hard?" I left my room and headed to the kitchen. "Maybe I can get Sookie to come over, after I help her this afternoon with Gran's things."

It was around four-thirty when I decided to make my way over to Sookie's. I still had no idea what I was going to wear but I figured maybe I can some sort of hint out Eric, when he wakes up. I pulled out my phone as I rounded a tree and swiped through my phone till I found Eric's number. 'I know you're still asleep but I just wanted to say, I'm looking forward to tonight :)' I hit send then pocketed my phone. I smiled as I remembered I haven't been on a real date since college. I was ripped from my thoughts down memory lane when I heard a scream along with a man yelling. I looked around trying to figure out where they were coming from that's when I realized, "My vision." I took of sprinting down the path I saw a few days ago. "Sookie!" I called when I heard another scream. 'God, why are the woods so fucking confusing?' I thought trying to find Sookie's location. I heard her scream again "The cemetery!" I ran as fast as I could to the yells and screams. 'Hold on Sookie.' I hope she heard me.

I approached the open field and that's when I saw him standing over Sookie. "Rene?" I whispered. It was Rene. He hadn't seen me yet he was too busy beating on Sookie. I snuck up on him quietly looking for an opening. I saw him reach for a large stone 'Shit' I have to move now. I jumped on to Rene's back throwing him of balance, he let out a scream of surprise.

"What the fuck?! Where the hell did you come from?" He screamed at me as he threw me to the ground. I let out a grunt as the wind was knocked out me, I think my back hit an old headstone. "I have to deal with you now too. Fucking hell." I saw him approach me, "You should have left well enough alone." I tried to crawl away but I was into much pain. He pulled me closer to him by my legs. I let out a scream as I grasped the ground. "SHUT UP!" Rene punched me hard in the face, my head rolled back and I began to see stars. I tasted copper in my mouth and felt hot sticky blood run down my face. I then felt his large calloused hands wrap around my throat and squeeze. "At least I get two vamp whores." I heard him mumble as he tightened his grip. I felt one of his hands trail down to my chest and he grasped my breast in a death grip. Then down my stomach to pants and I felt him tug at the waist band. My eyes widened at what he was trying to do.

I scratched at his hands and his arms trying to get him off of me but it didn't work he had me pinned and he was strong. I tried looking around for something anything that could help. That's when I saw the shovel near Sookie. 'SOOKIE!' I screamed in my head to her. 'THE SHOVEL, USE THE SHOVEL!' I continued as I tried to fight him off but my vision was starting to fade and the blood was dripping into my eyes. 'SOOKIE!' She wasn't moving. I felt all hope exit my body as my arms and legs began to feel like lead and my vision began to become spotty. All of a sudden the pressure was gone and I heard growling. I rolled on my side and I could not believe my eyes. I saw a collie turn into Sam. I tried to fight the black spots encroaching on my sight but I was too tired, the last thing I saw was Sookie hitting Rene with the shovel.

Eric's P.O.V

I woke up for the night, a few minutes before dusk, to find I had a message from Emilia. 'Mmmhhh she's excited for tonight.' I sat up and responded to the message. 'See you soon, lover.' I smirked knowing that it would make her blush. I changed into a dark blue suit with a black shirt. I was working on my tie when I heard a knock on the door.

"No tie." I heard my protégé comment. "And leave the top three buttons undone. Give the pixey something to look forward to." Pam smirked walking into the room. "So have you heard from Godric?"

"The other day, he said he had some sources to follow up on and he'll get back to me in the next week or so." I tossed the tie I was holding on the bed and placed my phone in my pocket.

"So where are you taking our dear girl? I image you haven't told her much of your plans.

"You're right; I like to see her squirm a little. It's quite cute." I thought of her pale cheeks tinting with that sweet nectar, it made me twitch. "As for where I'm taking her, I've rented out an Italian restaurant down the street." Pam was about to reply when I heard my phone buzz in my pocket pulling it out I see Bill's number sneering in discus I answer "What?"

"Your human is hurt."

"What?!" I growled "Where is she?"

"Sookie's she refused to go to the hospital. She just wanted to go home but the EMTs would only let her stay if she stayed with someone." I slammed my phone shut.

"Eric? What happened?" Pam saw my anger begin to surface.

"Emilia was attacked. Watch the bar." I left before Pam could even respond.

I arrived at Sookie's and slammed the door open. "Invite me in." I saw the look on Bill and Sookie's face. "Now!" I barked.

Sookie looked over to Bill, who gave her a nod. "Eric won't you please come in."

"Where is she?" I bit out as I stepped over the threshold.

"Upstairs first door on the right." I flew up the stairs before Sookie could say anything else.

I threw open the door to find Emilia sitting on the bed staring off into nothing. "Emilia?" I whispered as I took in the sight before me. Her porcelain skin was blackened across her face; her right eye was barely open and there was dried blood on the side of her face trailing down to her neck. That is when I saw hand shaped bruises. Her clothes were disheveled and covered in dirt and grass stains. I walked cautiously over to her and sat down next to her. "Emilia?" I repeated gently. I went to brush my hand across her cheek and she flinched away.

"Eric." Her voice cracked. "I'm sorry about our date." Her green eyes shimmered as tears seeped from the corners.

'She's here battered and bruised and all she can think about is our date?' I let out a little chuckle as I brushed hair from her face. "We will reschedule." I looked into her eyes. "Let me heal you."

"You don't have to…" Emilia trailed off as her voice cracked.

"Let me do this. You will feel better." I pulled my hand away from her blemished cheek, took off my jacket and rolled up my sleeve. I dropped my fangs and bit into my wrist tearing the flesh. "Here." I placed my wrist near her mouth she looked hesitant, "It's all right." I reassured her looking into her eyes. Emilia leaned closer then latched her soft lips on to my dripping wrist. I pulled her close as she feed from me. I tried to suppress the moan that came deep from my throat. I brushed my hand threw her short hair and kissed her temple. "Good girl." I whispered and gently pulled my wrist away. I felt a twinge of excitement as she let out a small whimper of disappointment as I pulled away. "That's enough." I whipped away the blood that trailed down form the corner of her mouth. 'Red looks good on her. I would love to see here covered in it.' I thought.

"I'm sorry I ruined our date, before it even started." Emilia repeated the bruises on her face began to fade and her porcelain skin.

"Do not fret lover." I brushed her cheek, "Come let us go, I have idea." I stood up and placed her on the ground. Grabbing my jacket I began to walk towards the door but she did not follow. "What is it?" I asked looking at her form, she looked so small.

It took her a moment to respond, "I need a shower." She whispered rapping her arms around herself to hind her disheveled appearance. I walked over to her placed my jacket over her.

"Do you want to go to your home or mine?" I asked as she slid her thin arms threw the sleeves that were far too long for her.

She bit her lip "I don't want to go home yet. You'd have to leave before sun rise." I could see her uneasiness as she shifted her weight from foot to foot.

"My place it is then." I grasped her small hand in mine. "You can shower there and I'll find something for you to where." Emilia nodded then looked from me to the door silently telling me we can go. Halfway down the stairs I noticed Sookie and Bill were no longer in the house. 'Probably at his shithole of a house.' Once outside I picked her up looping my arm under her knees and held her close to my chest. Emilia gave a small yelp as I took off and wrapped her arms tightly around my neck. 'She makes me feel disturbingly human.' I thought looking down at her somber face.

Emilia's P.O.V

When we landed at Eric's house I was finally starting to feel normal again, at least physically mentally I was still shaken. Eric landed in the front yard to his house but he did not put me down until we were on the porch. "I didn't know you had a porch." There was swing on one end looked out over a field and at the other was a set of chairs. 'I'd like to sit out her sometime.'

"Come." Eric said as he opened the door. "The shower is this way. There are towels on the shelf and I'll have a change of clothes for you by the time you're done." He opened the door at the end of a long hallway to a large bathroom.

Eric left me alone in the bathroom and I just stood there for a moment, replaying the events form the day. "I was almost…" I couldn't even finish the sentence. I shook my head clearing my thoughts and walked to the shower-tub, turned on the water to hot and waited until the room was steaming before I took off Eric's jacket and placed it gently on the sink and began to strip out of my dirty clothes; I tossed them in the trash can. I didn't want them anymore. I stepped inside the shower and the hot water burned my skin a little. I stood listening to the deafening silence as the dirt and grime washed away.

I heard the door open "The clothes are on the sink." Eric said.

"Thanks."

"I'll be in the living room."

"Ok." I heard the door shut and I grabbed a wash towel lathering it with soap. I began to scrub every inch of me. The bruises may be gone but I could still feel his hands on my throat grabbing me hurting me. I don't know how long I was in the water but I was pruned when I stepped out. I dried off and looked at the clothes Eric had left for me; a dark red button down shirt and a pair of lacey boy shorts. I dropped the towel and began to change. The underwear was comfortable and the shirt almost touched my knees, the sleeves came to well past my hand but I didn't bother to roll them up.

I dropped the towel by the shower and left the bathroom. My hair was still dripping as I walked down the hallway. I found the living room with little difficulty the room was large and was decorated similar to Eric's bedroom; dark with mostly red frontier, there were paintings of landscapes and bookshelves filled with books all in different languages and I found Eric sitting at the end of large blood red couch drinking from wine glass. Though I knew it wasn't wine.

"So I figure the shirt is yours but the underwear I'm pretty sure is not but I could be wrong." I teased a little as I sat down near him on the couch.

"I had Pam pick out the underwear along with some other things as well. I figured since we have started to date you may from time to time spend the night or day here and would need clothes." Eric placed the glass on a mahogany side table while draping his over the back of the couch. "However I was not planning having to show them to you for at least," He paused and thought for a moment. "Maybe two or three weeks?" He smirked at me and I could see a cocky boyish grin show through.

"Oh so you thought you'd get me into be that quickly." I smirked challenging him.

He leaned in closer "Two weeks is slow for me min lilla en." His hand brushed my cheek and I felt the blood rushed to my face as I flinched away. Before I could apologize he spoke "Do not be sorry. I will not hurt you and I will not force myself on you." His electric blue eyes met mine. "I can guess by how you felt why you were in the shower what that filth tried to do."

"How do you know?"

"I can feel you, your emotions when you're happy, sad, and angry. I will also know where you are or when you are in danger. It's the blood it has formed a bond between us."

"What else?"

Eric sighed, "You will most likely be dreaming of me now." I felt my face redden if that was even possible as I thought of the dream I had a few days ago of him, "Oh, I see you've already had a dream about me." He teased me.

"I well… you see… I" I could not form a sentence to save my life.

Eric let out a real hearty laugh "It's alright I've dreamt of you as well." He leaned forward and lightly kissed the corner of my mouth. "Come, you were in the shower for a long time, you must be hungry." Eric stood and began to walk towards the kitchen. "I have also had human food stalked for you."

"If you had Pam get me clothes… did she not get me pjs." I asked following him.

"Oh she did and they're cute too. But I just wanted to see what if you looked as good in my shirt as imagined." My mouth dropped open. "Close your mouth it's unbecoming."

After I finished eating we returned to the living room and we sat on the couch once again. We just sat there in silence I wasn't sure what to do. So I scooted closer to him. "Emilia, what are you doing?" I heard the humor in his voice.

"Nothing I just, I'm just getting comfortable." I whispered as I tried to stifle my yawn.

"Hmm if you are getting tired maybe it time for you to turn in for the night." My yawn did not go unnoticed.

"Ahh yaah…" I stood up and walked to the door way and stopped I turned back to Eric. "Uh Eric… I don't want to be…" I trailed off as he looked at me.

"Alright." He answered me without me finishing.

In his room I quickly got under the covers as Eric disappeared to change.

Eric's P.O.V

When I returned to my room Emilia was already asleep. I stood next to the bed and watched her sleep for a moment. When she shifted I crawled under the sheets with her. I gave her space as she slept and I just stared off thinking about how this one woman has changed me so much in one day. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt her snuggle up against my side: I looked down at her as I gently placed my arm around her. 'What spell do you have me under Emilia? That I will go against my nature to make you comfortable.'
