A/N So here is the next chapter. I'm setting up a few things in this chapter, so read, enjoy and leave me some love, it makes my day:)


For the second time today I watched a vampire grow paler right before my eyes. I would have found it funny if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation. "Eric, sweetie, I know that you have been looking for him for a very long time, but he's powerful and he's over three times your age. We need a very through plan before we can even think about going after him."

"Who is he?" It was barely more than a whisper, but I still heard him.

"It's Russell Edgington." I watched his eyes go wide as he leapt off the bed and started pacing the room. "Eric, I can only imagine what's going through your mind after finally finding the man who killed your parents after so long." I was on a roll and couldn't stop myself from blabbering on. "My parents were killed by a fairy who wants me to become his fairy/vampire bride. That's a huge cluster fuck, but hopefully I can find a way out of that before he shows up for me again."

"Sookie, my head is spinning from all of the information that you've told me today, but the big question is, how do you know all of this?"

I stood up and walked over to stand in front of him. "Yeah, that's kind of hard to explain." I paused and took a deep breath before I continued. "I'm from the future. I've come back to this time with the help of a fairy love token so that I can fix the mistakes that have happened."

"Sookie, that's impossible."

"Not with fairy magic. You don't believe me even though I've had your blood?"

"It's just really hard to believe this."

"Even after I told you about Russell and what he did?" He growled deep in his chest, but he didn't say anything. "I know more than that Eric. I know about your sister Nora."

The shock was evident on his face at the mention of her name. "How do you know about Nora?"

"I've met her before, but that's just a small part of a very long story. Will you please sit down and let me tell you at least the big parts of it? Then we can talk about what to do about Russell." He didn't say anything, but he let me lead him over to the bed. We sat down facing one another and I started telling him everything that I could remember. I told him about Russell and his wolves, about the witch who cursed him and wreaked havoc on the vampires of Shreveport, about what happened in the Authority and about the recent Vamp Camp and the weapons that the government had come up with to hurt vampires. I also mentioned Lilith and Warlow in passing.

When I was done he just sat there and looked at me. "I know that everything that I've told you is a lot to handle, but I promise that taking down Russell is priority one. Having him ended will change most of the things that happened. His killing that reporter on TV was what set most of the future events in motion, so not only will you be getting your revenge, you'll be saving hundreds of vampires and humans. You'll become a hero and everyone…" I was cut off mid-sentence when he pulled me into his arms and kissed me. This was no gentle kiss, this was a deep, soulful, wanting to spend eternity just kissing you kind of kiss and I wanted, no needed this kiss and this feeling now more than ever.

When I pulled away to breath, I whimpered at the loss as he looked deep into my eyes. "Were all those events that you just told me about the reason for you to come back here?"

"No. The reason that I came back is standing right in front of me."

"You came back for me? Why?"

"When you had Warlow's blood in you, you thought that you were impervious to the sun, so you went sunbathing naked on a snowy mountain top." I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks. "I felt the pain you were in and I had my great grandfather teleport me to you. I watched you burn. You died right in front of my eyes and I couldn't do a damn thing to stop it from happening. I'm not going to let that happen again. I won't, I can't let you go again. I love you Eric Northman. I don't care or expect you to say it back, but I do love you with all of my heart." I dropped my head in my hands not wanting to see him reject me. It was hard for me to realize that this is not the Eric who fell in love with me, who had lost his memories and saved me more than this Eric had. I definitely needed to back pedal this conversation before it really bit me in the ass.

"Eric, I'm sorry, just forget that I said that. We should just put all of our focus on Russell Edgington. I think I remember the lay out of his mansion in Jackson and if I give you some of my blood we can go for a sneak attack during the day and…" Yet again he cut me off by pulling me against him and kissing me. If he kept kissing me whenever I started blabbering on, I'd do it more often.

When he pulled away so that I could breathe he smiled down at me and I couldn't help but smiling right back at him. "How could I not fall in love with you Sookie Stackhouse? You are the bright light that walked into my eternal darkness. You are loving and caring and our willing to help anyone, even me. I know that you think being cursed made me love you, but that's just not true. You are so easy to love, but you were still with Bill."

"He poisoned me against you. He made you into the bad guy when he was the bad guy all along."

"You should have seen what he was up to when I first met him."

"I don't think that I want to know, but I want you to tell me anyway."

"He and Lorena were draining and defacing prostitutes in San Francisco."

"Okay, I don't want to know any more about that, I'd rather talk about Russell Edgington."

"Sookie, I know that you want to help, but if anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

"I understand that feeling, that's why I'm here, but I'm stronger than you think I am. You saw what I was able to do with Bill. The old me in this time didn't even know about her light yet. I didn't use them until we met Mary Anne…Oh shit! There is a maenad destroying my house!"

"What's a maenad?"

"It's a crazy bitch who is waiting for the god who comes, but he never really comes. I need to call Sam so that he can shift into a bull and rip her fucking heart out. I'll be right back." I grabbed my cell phone and called Sam from the other room. I didn't give him time to ask questions, I just told him what he needed to do, wished him luck and hung up on him. I didn't have time to talk to him, I had a Viking to deal with.

I grabbed the pen and paper the hotel provided and went back into the bedroom. "Okay, so Russell Edgington. I'm pretty sure that I remember which room was his. Too bad Niall isn't in my life in this time period, we could just pop into his room, stake the bastard and be done with it."

"Sookie, I really don't think that you should get involved with this. It's not safe for you."

"It's not safe for you either Eric. He is three thousand years old. You can't take him on alone no matter how much you want to."

"I'll have Godric with me this time, we can handle him."

I couldn't stop the anger that built up inside of me. "Fuck you Northman. If I have to I could take the son of a bitch out all by myself. Maybe I might just do that." I turned to leave the room, but he grabbed my arm to stop me.

"Sookie, I forbid you to do this."

"You forbid me? Oh that's rich. I may love you, but that doesn't mean that you own me asshole. If I have to I will go after Edgington on my own."

"You will not be going anywhere as long as I'm with you."

"Well lucky for me you die for the day when the sun comes up."

"I can stay awake if I have to."

"But you'll get the bleeds."

"It will be a small price to pay to keep you safe." He reached up and cupped my face in his hands. "Sookie, this man and his wolves slaughtered my whole family while I was busy fucking one of the servants in the barn. I fucked up then and it cost me everyone that I cared for, I won't, I can't let that happen again."

"I get that Eric, I really do, but Russell needs to die quickly this time." I stepped back from him and conjured up my vampire killing ball of light. "This single ball of light will kill any vampire and I'm willing to use it to end Russell for you."

"Can you conjure more than one?"

I wanted to lie and say that I didn't know or wasn't sure, but I just couldn't. No matter what I had to tell him the truth. "No. This is all of my fairy power wrapped up in this neat little ball. Once I use this, I won't be fairy anymore."
