I heard alcide shuffle and then the three of us were running looking for Eric.
About ten minutes later alcide stopped to sniff the air and I knew Eric was close by, I could feel it. "So Eric can day walk some with the fairy blood, but it makes him drunk as a skunk. He's hammered and who knows how long before he starts to fry." Sookie said as alcide stopped.
"There's no time to rest. We gotta keep moving alcide. I know you don't like him but if he dies, pam will kill me" sookie kept rambling on. "Sookie for five seconds just shut up" I said to her and strained my ear to hear anything.
I heard a splash of water and walked that way after motioning for alcide to follow me. "Hey sookie, where have you been? Come play with me, it's wonderful here" I heard Eric yell as we stepped outside of the woods.
"Hey I have a picture of you on my phone, you looked like a goddess while sleeping. I am Aegir god of the sea and you are Ran, my sea goddess" Eric said and I had a moment to smile. I didn't know Eric had a picture of me while sleeping.
"Eric there's big gators in there you crazy Viking. Get on out and let's go home before one of them chomps off your you know what" sookie said to Eric and I rolled my eyes. She has had sex and she is over twenty and she can't even say dick or penis I mean really?
"Leave the sun to the water? Nope I'll just kill all the sea monsters…gators? Krokodiler…show yourselves… cowards!" Eric yelled out as he was stalking the waters. I was laughing and sookie scowled at me and that made me laugh even more.
Alcide decided to turn human and in turn bumped me and I almost fell in but alcide grabbed me and pulled me back flush against him. "Get away from her!" Eric growled as he stood up to his full height. "Fuck you, she wants me here" alcide growled back and I rolled my eyes at the two of them.
"You don't want to fight him" sookie said to throw in her say and I huffed. "Yes I do, now prepare to die you stinking dog" Eric growled and alcide then growled as well. "Take a shot you dumb ass fanger, at least I didn't leave her all alone" alcide said and I threw my hands in the air.
"That's it…give me the blanket" I said to sookie and started walking into the water just as Eric started burning.
I threw the blanket over his shoulders "go run, we will catch up" I said to Eric and watched as he ran off. I climbed out of the water with alcide's help and then the three of us ran back to sookie's house.
As we came to a stop by sookie's house she headed inside and I followed her as alcide got dressed. I walked to the closet that was a secrete sleeping chamber for vampires and listened as sookie and Eric talked. "Go to sleep" sookie said and I rolled my eyes at her.
"No" Eric replied shortly and I could picture his face already "you will get the bleeds" sookie replied to him and I heard Eric huff. "I know what the bleeds are" Eric said sharply and then I heard sookie huff.
"Fine you clean it up, I am not your maid" sookie said and I heard her stand up, probably to come up stairs. "Stay…" Eric asked in a begging tone and I swallowed hard because he hasn't even asked for me yet. "Can't human stuff to do" sookie said and when the sad "oh…" came from Eric's mouth I made my way outside to alcide.
"So he was here the whole time?" alcide asked me as I walked over to him. "Yeah I guess so, he doesn't remember anything. No me, no wedding, no godric" I said and alcide sighed as he pulled me into a hug.
"I know you don't like him alcide but you have no idea how this feels. I'm losing him to sookie, right now he likes her while he doesn't even know of our life together" I said as I felt a tear escape.
"You won't lose him to sookie and yes I do not like him but if he makes you happy there is nothing I can do. Talk to him and tell him everything you can think of, I can't believe I'm actually saying this but if Eric fell in love with you once, he will again. Just give it time" alcide said and kissed my forehead.
"Thank you alcide, if you ever need anything please tell me, I would do anything for you" I said to him and hugged him one more time and then watched as he drove back to his house.
I walked inside and saw sookie heading up stairs so I made my way to the closet and went down the ladder. "You're not sleeping yet" I said as I watched the new Eric lay on the bed, his back facing me.
"How did you know?" he asked me and I knew he was referring to how did I know he was still awake. "Because I know you…" I said simply and walked over to the bed and sat down at his feet.
"Who is godric?" Eric asked me and I looked at him "I heard you talking to the dog upstairs" Eric grumbled and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Sorry…sorry you just sound like the real Eric" I said and Eric sat up abruptly and stared at me.
"I am the real Eric" Eric said and I nodded at him. "I know, I know. Godric is your maker, he made you a vampire. You also have a progeny pam" I said and Eric kept staring at me. "Where is godric now?" he asked and I sighed as I looked down at my hands.
"I don't know, somewhere in the world" I said softly and then we just sat in silence. "I'm going to find those witches and I am going to make them return your memories. Everything will be back to normal" I said and looked at Eric to see he had been staring at me and when I looked up he quickly looked away.
"You know you can look at me" I said as I looked down at the floor. "I need to sleep" Eric said and when I looked at him I saw that his nose started bleeding. I nodded and stood up to leave but Eric grabbed my hand.
"Can you stay…please" Eric asked and I nodded at him. I turned to sit against the wall but Eric scooted over on the bed to make space for me. "Are you sure?" I asked him and he nodded at me.
"You can sleep under the covers, I will stay on top" he said and I swallowed and then nodded. I climbed under the covers as Eric held them open for me and then turned on my side, my back facing Eric. I couldn't help but wonder if Eric would have asked sookie to sleep by him as well if she didn't need to go.
"You don't have to stay if you don't want to" I heard Eric mumble behind me and I sighed as I turned over.
"No, no I want to, it's just everything is so crazy right now. We were supposed to be married by now and probably in Paris by your other home" I said and I felt Eric look down at me.
"I'm sorry things didn't go as you wanted" he said and I nodded as I closed my eyes to try and sleep. Just as I was dozing off I felt Eric wrap his arms around me and pulled me tighter. I gave a pleasurable sigh and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
I woke up later that afternoon and saw that Eric was still wrapped around me. I laid still for about an hour just looking at Eric, he looked so different from the Eric that I knew. Even his hair seemed softer and gentler. He was a total different vampire and I was sure if I could accept that.
Before my mind could over work things I climbed out of the bed and gave Eric a kiss and then made my way up the ladder. The house was empty and when I looked into the fridge there was no blood for Eric so I walked outside and got onto my bike to go to Eric's house.
As soon as I got there I showered and changed into a jean and a shirt of Eric's. I grabbed my wallet and took Eric's car to fangtasia. I walked in and saw the bar was full and pam was standing to the side of the bar. I moved towards her and motioned her to follow me to Eric's office.
"I assume you know of Eric?" pam asked and I quirked my eyebrow at her. "Yes and thank you so much for telling me right after you found out" I said sarcastically to her and pam sighed.
"I didn't want you to find out, I wanted to fix it before you knew cause I didn't want you to get hurt or cancel the wedding" pam explained and I sighed. "Okay so it's Eric's fault then, cause the wedding was moved it was three night ago. I waited two hours, two hours waiting for him to show up, but all the time he was at sookie's" I said and watched as pam came towards me.
"I am so sorry, but I am going to fix this…tonight. I'm going to make the witch reverse the spell tonight" pam said and I nodded as she hugged me. "Be happy that I'm hugging you cause I don't do that" pam said and I smirked at her.
"Please pam if I gave you a promise of a night with me you would clean the floors with your tongue" I said to her and she gasped. "I would never clean the floor not even with a mop but a night with you does sound promising, I don't have to do anything to sleep with you I can just simply kidnap you and then eat you out until you beg me to fuck you" pam said and I was shocked that she actually said that to me.
"Oh pam…Pamela you wish you could do that to me, but it will always stay a little fantasy of yours" I said and then walked out of the office with a sway in my hips. I laughed as I heard pam growl and still laughed as I climbed into the car.
I was glad that I had pam, we would bicker like that but we both knew we were joking. We liked to tease each other like that, it was like we were best friends.
I stopped at the house again and quickly picked up a folder and two of my blood bags. Eric always made sure that a nurse came every two months to get some of my blood that he would store away with other blood bags if something would happen to me or if he urgently needed blood.
I parked the car by the graveyard and grabbed the blood bags with the folder I grabbed at the house. I parked the car so far because I wanted to talk with Eric while taking a walk.
I opened the door because it was not locked and walked directly to the closet hearing sookie and Eric talking. "Don't I am not a child" Eric said and I frowned because it sounded like Eric was really upset.
"I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better" sookie said and I frowned as I leaned against the wall. "You think I am weak" Eric replied and almost instantly sookie said no.
"You want the Eric who doesn't feel" Eric said and I wondered what happened to bring up this conversation. "No, it's not that" sookie said and I heard her sigh.
"If you kiss me, I promise to be happy" Eric said and I felt my stomach drop. "No" sookie said back to him and I mentally said thank goodness she said no. I like her slightly more right now.
"Why? It's only a kiss" Eric said and before I could listen further I heard a knock on the door and when I peeked out of the window I saw it was bill. I quickly went down the ladder and saw sookie sitting on the bed with Eric.
"Bill is here" I said simply to sookie and looked at Eric but he kept looking at the ground. Sookie placed her hand on Eric shoulder and then went up the ladder to talk with bill.
"I uhm…sorry I wasn't here when you woke up but I needed to get some things. I brought you some blood if you want it" I said and handed him the two bags of blood. "I heated up the blood at the house so it should still be slightly warm" I said and Eric took them and looked down again.
I sat down on his bed and looked as he broke of a piece of plastic on the blood bag and began sucking the blood out.
"I want to share some things with you, you don't have to listen if you want to. I'm not human" I said and Eric looked up in surprise at me.
"Well I am now but I wasn't. I'm not sure how old I am but I was created by a mad vampire in the authority. He took DNA from an angel and DNA from a demon and somehow made me. I was a Nephalem and he wanted to use me for bad things but a simple human man took me before he could. He raised me as a daughter for the few years I was with him. I was a nephalem before my powers were taken away by my fake brother and with that I lost all my memories"
I said and looked down at the file in my hands. "I wanted you to know that I know how it feels not to know anything and not know who you can trust, but I want to be one of the persons you can trust. Eric I would do anything for you" I said to him and looked at him as he stared at the wall while listening.
"I'm going to bed" I heard sookie yell down and Eric's head snapped up as she walked away. "Eric I understand why you are staying here but if you ever want to come to the house this is the address" I said and handed him the piece of paper.
"I will be there whenever you need me" I said to him and took his hand into my own. I looked at our hands and realised it was both our hands with the scar. I turned Eric's hand over and showed him the scar and then showed him my own.
"We did that together?" he asked me and I nodded at him. "It was with the vampire marriage binding thing. We did part one and two, it was only three left where you would have turned me" I said to Eric and his head snapped to me and he watched me closely.
"You wanted me to change you? You willingly wanted to stay by my side forever?" Eric asked me and he traced my scar with his finger. "Of course Eric. I love you and I always will, I want to be with you through everything" I said and Eric nodded.
"I'm going to go home okay? You can come anytime you want" I said to him and handed him the folder with the other bag of blood.
"Thank you for the blood, what hospital just gave it to you?" Eric asked me and I shook my head. "I got it from the house, I donate blood frequently in case something like this happens" I said and watched as Eric looked down at the label on the blood bag. He didn't say anything else so I went up the ladder and shut the door.
I walked back to the car and as I drove home I couldn't help but smile because it felt like me and Eric was going to work through things and make it after all.
