I looked around and saw Bill standing by Sookie and Eric was looking at me and then came walking over. He offered his hand to me and I scoffed. I pushed myself up, only to get dizzy and feeling two cold hands on my hips to help me regain balance.
"Get off" I said as I looked at Eric's hand holding on to me. "FINE…" Eric said as he let go of me with a little shove and I just fell back down again. Growling to myself I got up and scowled at him.
I called my powers and saw a flame appear in my hand but then disappear. "Seems like you are weak" Bill said right behind me but I kept looking at Eric.
"I just need blood" I replied and Eric instantly offered his bleeding wrist that he just bit into. "No I need human blood" I said and turned to Bill and watched Sookie.
"Don't even think about it" Bill said as he stepped in front of her.
"Oh please, like I would want to drink from the parasite the is her" I scoffed and turned around.
"Who the HELL killed him?" I said angrily as I stared at Roy's body. "He was mine to kill, no one else's" I said as I looked around and when I looked at Eric and saw that his hand was full of blood I knew it was him.
"Just be glad that they are dead" a man's voice said to my right and when I turned to him I looked at him in question as I walked forward. "Wow it is you…Brujo…it is good to see someone from my side of the family, even if you are like three or four cousins removed. Cousins stay cousins right?" I said happily as I stepped up and hugged Jesus.
"Wait you are related?" Lafayette asked and I nodded at him. "I will come see you tomorrow we need to discuss family business." I said to him. And he looked at me strangely but nodded nonetheless.
I needed help to make sure I had full control for the rest of my life and that some human didn't take control. I looked at Eric as I walked towards the door intending to head home and drink a few pints of blood to regain strength. And at the back of my mind I heard a little 'told you so' but I ignored it and moved on.
When I got home I took Maggie's car and parked it in the garage and proceeded to cover it after I removed her bags and all. I deposited her bags right next to her still unconscious body down in the basement and smiled as I gave her another dose of sleep. I'll deal with her tomorrow and bury her in the back yard, or maybe put her in the coffin next to godric.
That thought made me laugh out loud as I walked up stairs with my warmed up blood, intending to take a long, long bath.
Once the tub was filled I climbed in and settled with a big wine glass filled with blood. Humming as I tasted the sweet texture of the blood I sat up and drained the glass to only fill it once again.
"I see that you are enjoying the bath tub" I heard Eric say and I groaned out.
"Uhg…leave because currently you are ruining it for me" I said as I drained my last glass of blood and sank down in the tub to soak. "You can't still be angry about the whole Sookie thing, I had no memories of you…of us. I even forgot Godric, my maker" Eric roared out the last part at me. I stood up and climbed out of the tub not caring that I was stark naked.
"Fuck you! Like I said before, even when you had your memories you wanted her! Buying her house…trying to court her for years. I was just a plaything so you know what? Screw you, I can't believe I ever loved you. I cried my heart out when you left me at the altar.
I was ready to give my life to you…for you to turn me. I was ready to stop my own fucking heart for you! You, a fucking vampire dick that screwed with me…"
I yelled back at him, and I didn't even realise tears were streaming down my face until Eric stepped forward and wiped them away.
"Get off!" I yelled as I pushed him back and walked out of the bathroom.
"I have made many mistakes, and I will not make another mistake, the mistake of losing you" Eric said as he walked right behind me into the closet.
"Eric you already lost me the day of the bombing in Godric's house. When you let Sookie drink your blood. I just didn't know it at the time" I said as I slipped a robe on and walked around Eric to get into bed but he grabbed my arm.
"This isn't you. Where is the real Danalynne, taking your powers back couldn't have changed you this much. Where is the woman I love, the one I was going to marry." Eric said as he stared down at me.
I felt a jolt and closed my eyes.
"Eric…Eric I can't." I said as tears filled my eyes. "I'm a monster…I killed him. I can't believe I killed him, Eric help me. Please help me. You need to…" I said and then felt another jolt as the demon side took control again.
"What just happened?" I asked as Eric stared at me in confusion. "Who did you kill?" Eric asked me as I stared at him.
"I killed a human. Now please get the hell out" I said and stared Eric down but I knew that he would leave it for now but bring it up later.
"I am done with Sookie, you are all I want" Eric said and deep down I could feel the humans feelings for him, she already forgave him. But I wouldn't let feelings control my life, in the end game I will need my mate Eric's help but for now he can go to hell.
"I need some time away from you." I said and climbed into the bed as Eric kept staring at me.
"You have had enough time away from me, stop being so stubborn" Eric yelled at me and I just laid down to sleep.
"Do not turn your back on me, we need to talk about this" Eric said yet again and I huffed as I stood up quickly. "I said I need some time, so get the hell out or I will pack a bag and leave for good" I said as I stood chest to chest with Eric.
"You wouldn't…" Eric started but I cut him off instantly "oh I will, nothing is keeping me here." I said and Eric nodded at me.
Eric stared down at me for a few seconds "kiss me" Eric said and I frowned at him. "Disappointed. I am disappointed that you thought you can control me again" I said and went to step away but Eric grabbed my arms to stop me from leaving.
"I said kiss me" Eric said and before I could respond he bent down and met his lips with mine but I stood still, not giving into temptation. Eric pulled back and looked into my eyes again.
"since when is the big bad Eric a soft little vampire, if Godric could see you now…he'd be so…so proud that his child is just as pathetic as he is" I said and smirked as Eric looked shocked at me.
"I'm not your second sweet little Sookie anymore, when will you realise that?" I asked and when Eric didn't answer I turned around to head back to bed but Eric's hand wrapped around my arm stopped me.
"Let go of my arm Eric" I stated without turning around.
I wanted to throw him against the wall for not letting go but I couldn't, my powers felt drained and so did I.
Eric stayed silent as he walked in front of me staring at me again and it was starting to bother me. "Eric what are you going to…" I started but was cut off as Eric quickly put his hand over my mouth.
"Shut up" he said and I frowned up at him. I mumbled against his hand but he only pushed harder against my mouth.
Eric stepped closer and at the moment there was no space between us, we were standing chest to chest as he kept staring. I watched as Eric bent down to only smell my neck, which I didn't like the feeling of.
"You say I've become soft? Let's see just how soft I am" Eric said and I wanted to pull away but Eric's other hand snaked around my neck to bring me closer and I stood still for a few seconds until I felt Eric sink his fangs into the side of my neck, as he began drinking from me.
I tried to get his hand off of my mouth but he just wouldn't let go so I did the only thing I could think of, I bit into his hand but still he didn't let go so I was forced to drink the blood that flowed out of the bite wound that I caused. Thinking 'karma, I hate you right now'
As his blood went down my throat I felt pure bliss as it worked all over my body. This was definitely the best high that I've had.
I felt Eric pull back and he looked down at me with a frown on his face, blood dripping from his mouth.
He removed his hand from my mouth and his eyes moved down to my lips that were stained with his blood. "Why did you do that?" I demanded and Eric sighed. "You just don't know how to shut up do you" Eric stated more than asked and before I could respond his lips came down hard onto my own.
I kept resisting, I wouldn't kiss him back, that would make him win. Eric didn't give up though he kept kissing me and it was hard not to give in. Eric bent down a little and then I felt him pick me up, wrapping my legs around him as he walked to the bed.
Eric crawled up the bed still holding me to him and then set me down in the middle of the bed. "Eric I am not doing this with you" I said and wanted to get up but Eric quickly pushed me down and then he was gone.
I frowned and thought that he left so I sat up and pulled the covers down for me to climb into the bed fully but I looked up and saw Eric walking towards me. One moment he was in front of the bed and then the next he was on the left side of the bed and tided my wrist to the bed and before I could say something he did the same with my other wrist.
"Eric what are you doing? Take these ropes off of my wrists" I said and Eric didn't say anything as I started pulling on them but the more I pulled the tighter they became.
Eric sat on top of my thighs as he unbuttoned his shirt, still as I struggled to get the ropes off.
"Eric fine I take it back, you aren't soft, now let me go" I said to him as he leaned forward to start kissing me again but I turned my head away.
Eric kissed my neck as I felt him undo the belt on my robe and then simply ripped it off of my body. I didn't want this, what Eric was doing to me was only bringing the human more to the front and I couldn't have that.
Maybe if I just played along she would go back into her cave but deep down I knew she would make her presence known again and soon.
"Fine Eric you won, now please let me just sleep I have a long day tomorrow" I said to him but he still just stayed silent and it was frustrating me more than when he talked.
He looked up into my eyes and I felt that same pull I did at Bills house and Eric knew it too. "Kiss me like you used to do" Eric said and I couldn't stop myself as I leaned up and captured Eric's lips with my own. Kissing him with everything I had.
I pulled at the ropes around my wrists and they became tighter but I didn't care cause I wanted to touch him, I needed to touch him.
"Eric come on please, I need to feel your skin with my hands" I said breathlessly as Eric nibbled down my neck to the top of my breasts. He continued on his journey as he bit the skin on the side of my left breast without breaking the skin.
I arched up trying to get closer but Eric pushed me down by my shoulders, making sure that I couldn't get close to him.
"Stop making me beg and do it already, it's what you wanted" I said and Eric sat up and smirked at me.
Eric quickly stood up and removed his pants and boxer briefs at the same time, and then he was on top of me again. Eric sealed his lips over mine just as he pushed into me, making me grab onto his shoulders from the pleasure. I pulled on every piece of skin I could find to bring Eric as close as possible to me.
I felt the turmoil inside of me begin as I felt the feeling of control slip from my grasp as Eric moved faster and harder with every thrust, this vampire would be the end of me.
"Eric, please I need you to…" I tried to say as Eric hit just the right spot, making everything within me snap into complete ecstasy. But Eric hadn't reached his peak yet and as thus continued to plunge into me at an incredible speed. "You will always be mine" he growled by my ear as he pulled out and flipped me onto my stomach and then onto my knees. "Eric you know I don't belong to you anymore" I said back breathlessly and obviously that made Eric angry or determent as he pushed into me again and lifted my upper body so that we were back to chest.
I felt his hand rub at my throat and work down to my nipples that he pinched and pulled until I was a shaking mess, and then his hand went further south making its way straight to my clit and he started rubbing it in quick circles. "Eric stop please, I can't cum again so quickly" I begged but that made him push harder on the same spot that always makes me lose control.
"You will cum when I tell you to" Eric commanded as his other hand snaked around my throat, not to strangle me but just to put a little bit of pressure making my head feel thick and like my racing heart was there instead.
I heard his fangs click out as he turned my head to the left side, he laid kisses there as his speed increased as well as the power behind his thrusts. "No matter what you think or do, you will always be connected to me. You are my mate and I will have you always" Eric said and after that his fangs suck into my neck and I groaned from the feeling of him drinking my blood.
Eric pulled away after a few seconds and his right hand that was still rubbing circles stopped and pinched my clit and whispering "let go for me , now" Eric said and I closed my eyes as I felt the waves wash over me again just as he bit into me again. I felt his lose control with me, his thrust still strong but slowing by the minute.
I was a complete mess as Eric sealed my neck wound and lay me back down on the bed. Everything from my muscles to my head felt like it was not working. Everything was hazy as I stared up at the ceiling while Eric was climbing into the bed, sliding next to me as he wrapped his one arm around me to pull me closer to him.
"We still need to talk about you and Sookie" I said and heard Eric sigh loudly. "Can you not just leave it? We just had sex, you are mine again and I am yours, is that not enough?" Eric asked as he moved back from me and I sat up as I wrapped the sheet around me.
"No it is not enough. We need to talk about the fact of you sleeping with her" I said calmly and stared at him. "For the last time, I lost my memories and I couldn't…" Eric said but I cut him off before he could finish. "Do not say that excuse again. It's all that you say, I did this but I lost my memories. Yes that happened but I lost my memories" I said as I imitated him. "Give me the truth, you have wanted Sookie Stackhouse for a while now, and now that you have you are contend, now you want to settle back with me" I said fuming at him.
"Fine, I wanted her for a while. So to get over this fucking ridiculous problem, what do you suggest?" Eric asked me as he stood up and walked over to his closet where he got dressed as I sat on the bed staring at him.
"How the fuck should I know? How would you feel if I slept with someone else?" I asked as I stood up and marched to my own closet wear I took a night dress and slipped it over my head.
"Is that it? Will that solve the problem? Then go ahead, sleep with someone else…anybody else and tell me when you have so that we can move. The . fuck. On. " Eric said but yelled the last part at me as he made his way over to me.
"Fine I will" I said and he responded to with a nod.
I turned to go to bed and saw that Eric was already sliding into it, so I made my way over and got into the bed on my side but a few seconds of just lying there, Eric shifted closer and turned me around so that I was on my back as he leaned over me, supported by his elbow.
"You have no idea all the things I would do for you" Eric said as he pushed his lips against mine in a tender way and kissed me softly. "And you have no Idea what I can do to you" I said as he pulled away and Eric smirked at me as I smiled back. We both laid down, me in his arms but for now things were alright and I wondered if Eric was serious about me settling the score between us, I thought just as I drifted off knowing Eric would stay by my side for the sun would be rising soon.
