First ever fanfic. I always have a lot of ideas for starting stories, but I never have the guts to post or create them. So in a way this is me trying to practice my writing abilities. Constructive criticism is welcome because I know my skills aren't fantastic…yet.
On a side note, I really haven't read any of the books since Dead and Gone so this is based very loosely on the book series. Also, there might be hints of True Blood within my story because I also watch the show and I like some of the things that have been happening there better than the books (don't even get me started on a book rant). Okay, no more rambling. Here's a short start.
"Great granddaughter," My arm was nudged and there was excruciating pain now rippling through my body. "You must awaken. We are running out of time."
I didn't want to open my eyes. This was probably some illusion that Neave and Lochlan had cooked up just to terrorize me further. But no, that couldn't be, could it. I swear Bill and Niall had come to my rescue. But then again, that could have been an illusion too. I suddenly felt anger, and a rush of energy that told me Eric was coming. I wanted to laugh, it was too late now. The damage was done and his presence could only bring me further pain. I didn't need his lust. The only thing he could do for me is give me more blood, and look at all that vampire blood has done to me in the past.
"Sookie. Wake up. You can review your life later. I promise that Neave and Lochlan can no longer hurt you. But we must go so I can close the portals. Your vampire will not let you leave, I am sure of it. But I am also sure that staying with him will only bring you more pain and suffering. If you care anything for your well being, you will open your eyes and give me your consent to take you to Faerie."
Niall had never been so straightforward or frustrated with me. At that moment I opened my eyes, to see the wrinkled glow of a not so human Niall. He smile softly at me, and for a moment I was mesmerized by his beauty. Then, I became distracted by the destruction around me. There was blood everywhere, and the remnants of dead faeries sprinkled the ground. Neave and Lochlan. I felt a slight relief knowing they could never harm me, until I saw Bill laying in agony. He didn't need to make a sound for me to know he was in pain. He was pale and appeared to have no energy left in him.
"Please, help him," I croaked while reaching toward Bill.
"There is no time dear one. He will die soon from the silver poisoning anyways. Let us go," Niall had suddenly picked me up and looked prepared to pop away.
Bill's weak southern drawl stopped Niall in his tracks, "Do not take her. She is bonded to Eric. Both will be ripped apart from the inside with such a large distance between the bond. Sookie, do not let him take you. What if you don't return? I love you. Stay."
My breathing became shallow. The pain left me on the edge of conscious. I was dying. Was any of this worth it anymore, hadn't I been through enough pain? I began to panic, Eric would be here in a matter of seconds and I had yet to make a decision. What did Niall want with me?
"Sookie, I will heal you. I will make you into the Faerie you were meant to be without all this vampire nonsense holding you back. Hurry now, give me your consent."
How could he possibly know what I was thinking? Unless he knows more about my telepathy, or perhaps he has it himself. I knew Niall had kept so much from me, and going with him would give me so many answers. I knew I was about to make a rash decision, but anything would be better than the near death situations I was constantly finding myself in.
"I want to go to Faerie," I whispered to Niall.
He smiled at me as blood tears began to leak out of Bill's eyes.
Eric appeared in the door right as Niall popped away. His anguished calling of my name was the last thing I heard from the human realm.
I know it's not much, and I'm not even sure if it's worth continuing. Review and let me know.
