Chapter 1:

Coming home is always hard. Sitting here in what was once a home filled with love and laughter, now empty hallways. I had it rebuilt shortly after Naill left back to Faery after I was tortured by Locklan and Neave. He thought closing off the portals would keep me safe. After reciving his Inheritance along with Claudine's I was able to fix the house. We cleared out and refinished the Attic. I even made it light proof in case Pam or Karin needed a place to stay that was more comfortable then the Cubby that Bill had installed in the guests rooms closet. Being alone in the house after Eric went off the Marry Freyda was so painful that i barely lasted the year that Karin was in my woods. We didnt speak much. She had no desire to guard a human and i was to much of a mess to be courtious. As soon as her year was up she took off and I was really all alone. One week after the year was up I got a surprise at my doorstep. Naill had come to call.

"hello Great Grandaughter"

"Nail! Please come in, what are you doing here? I thought you closed the Portals?"

"I did my dear, all except the one on your property, though only myself and Claudine knew about that Portal"

"oh" was all I was able to reply

"would you like some breakfast, I was just about to make myself some eggs and toast"

"that would be lovely dear, Maybe some Tea to wash it down?" Naill replied.

"of course" as I got started making eggs and popping some toast in the toaster Naill go to why he had come

" I was wondering how you were doing, it has been a year since you Vampire went off and you seem to be unhappy. I can see that you have been slowly losing your light. I was wondering if maybe you would like to come see what life in Faery is like now that the war is over and peace has come to us again. There is much I can teach you about yourself"

I didnt know how to respond in that moment. I had nothing really keeping me here anymore. Its been a year since I spoke to any of the Vampires except Bill of course. He came by once or twice a month to see if there was anything I needed. I was sure he was reporting back to Pam or Felipe about how miserable I had been. I had stopped working with Sam shortly after Eric left. I just didnt have the energy or drive to deal with all the townspeople thinking about how now that the vampires seemed to be out of my life I could settle down and start a family. Like that was going to happen. They really do not understand anything of what I was going through. Nobody seemed to even try. Jason did. He tried for a few months but when I couldnt get out of my funk he basically wrote me off as well. He even stopped bringing his laundry around for me to do. Now he is married and his wife Michele is about to give birth to their first daughter. As happy as I try to be for them, I cant get over everything I lost. My soulmate, my other half. After silently contimplating what I really had to stay here for. I decided why the hell not. I wouldnt be missed.

"you know what Great Grandfather, why not. It is about time I remember that I am not humna and I am not going to have a normal life. I really have not accepted myself and maybe this will be just what I need"

"great! when would you like to go?"

"is after breakfast too soon?"

Just like that I was off to Faery with Naill, the prince of the Fey. We finished breakfast and I wrote some letters, while Naill took my car away. He was making it look like I had just left. I cleaned out the fridge, put out the trash. I packed a bag of only a few outfits as Naill said that I would have new clothes that would suit the Princess that I was. Normally I would put up the whole independent woman thing, however, I figured if I was really going to accept who I was deep down, that i would first start by accepting that I was the pricess of the Fey... which is exactly what I am doing.

I locked up the house and taped the letters to the porch. If anybody came looking for me I wanted them to know I was off trying to find myself. I didnt say I was leaving this realm and finding myself in a new one. Nobody but myself needed to know that.

Bills POV: 20 years later

It had been 20 years since I found a letter on Sookies back door. I had stopped by because I knew that Felipe was in the area. He obviously knew that the year was up and had decided that he wanted Sookie for himself in Neveda. Even though the contract that Eric had placed said no harm must come to Sookie, it did not say anything about going to another vampire of her own free will. I figured if I let her know what was about to happen then she would see that she would be safer with me then with the King. However, she wasnt there. "I am off to find myself" was all the note said. I first tried Sam and then I tried Jason. Nobody had known she was gone. Nobody had seen her. The King was in a murderous rage when the next night he found his way into Fangtasia. "where is the little fairy/human!" he screamed.

Of course over the 48 hour notice we had in finding the letter we had made no progress on finding Sookie. I had taken a picture of the note to show Pam. Pam was unhappy because if the little fairy had left her area then there was nothing we could do to protect her. We went through phone records and bank records and nothing was a miss.

Needless to say King Felipe went back to Neveda, but not before leaving Pam and I in a Silver coffin for a week.

After 20 years everybody had figured she had died at this point. with nothing to show for where she could be and us thinking the Faery portals had been closed it was the only logical assumption we could come to. Pam on her yearly phonecall to Eric let him know that Sookie had disappeared without a trace. There where no scents to track, nothing was amiss in her home.

I hadnt been back in BonTemps much in the past ten years. Now with Sookie gone there was no reason to come back here. However Sam had called and said he say activity at Sookies house two nights ago. He also informed me that he could not get close enough to the property to check out what was going on. I of course was in Neveda at the time working on a project at the time. Wondering to myself as I made my way back what kind of wards would have been set up that wouldnt let Sam onto Sookies property. She always had a fondess for the shifter.

As I approched the property line from the Cementary i realized that I too was not allowed onto her Property. of course I should have realized that if Sam wasnt allowed on, I wasnt going to be allowed on either. I hurried to Sheveport and found myself at Fangtasia waiting to update Pam of the new wards.

Sookie POV:

My time spent in Faery was a vast improvement from almost the first moment I entered the Realm. I found myself feeling a since of home that I hadnt felt since Gran had past. the first few weeks I stayed at the palace getting my bearings. It was hard at first because I never had a since of time. There was not a morning noon and night at faery to an ever presence of sun that never went away. Fairies apparently did not sleep in the way that human need to. While I still needed a good eight hours of sleep when i first got here. I soon aclimated and was able to stay refreshed for a few days at a time. the food was different and unexepectedly delicious. Everybody that was anybody had come to the palace to meet with me when they found out a long lost Princess of Naills had been recovered from earth.

After my first few weeks I started taking Classes with Caelan. He explained to me that my light was part of my essentail spark and in order to help it grow and transform I needed to find love. I was pissed at first and immedietly left the room after he said that. stormed off in my all to familiar Sookie temper tantrum. Did he mean I had to let go of Eric and move on and try to find love again...That was not going to happen. However, later that evening Naill came in and explained in better tearms that he meant any and all love. something as simple as loving the smell of flowers. or spending time in the pool. The biggest takeaway from that evening was learning how to love myself above all others. This was something I had never done. it tooke weeks and weeks but I finally started making progress and my spark slowly started to grow. Soon after I had figured out a trick. I could make love from memories. Memories of Gran that I loved. Small moments that if I just focused hard enough would cause my spark to grow exponentially. I did this every morning and every night.

A few months later Caelan had me using my microwave fingers on purpose. He showed me how to bring the light to the surface. I could use the light as an Offensive or defense weapon, I could manipulate the light into a healing potion. Then began the hard magics. I learned how to Teleport, and Telekinetics. I could bring a books from my room in the palace about a mile away to the pond just by thinking of a small memory with my gran. Letting love in was the way to make my powers stronger and I took that to heart. I learned how to Ward and how to call to other fairies that were in the realm. I learned how to feel magics around me and magical items around me. After about four months at Faery training every day and well night, even though there was no night. I had an accident. I was trying to think of my memory with Gran while I was trying to bring a rosebush back to life and suddenly my memory had turned to one of when Uncle Bartlet had come over for Sunday summer. Instead of bringing the flower back to life, I made a fireball and ended up burning half the rosebushes in the garden when the Faery Guards came in and doused the flames.

That was it for me. Four months in Faery and I was being brought to Naills private rooms because I set rosebushes on fire. I was able to throw Fireballs like a Demon. Naill and I sat down and decided that after four months I had a much better understanding of who I was and what I can do and it was time to go home. I had made some friends in Faery that I was sad to be leaving. Mostly though it was Caelan I would miss. He had spent so much time with me. showing me how to be the Fairy Princess that I was. We had formed an almost father/daughter relationship in my time in Faery and I was really upset to say goodbye. However, he told me that all i would need to do it call out to him and he would be there, realms be damned.

As I took one last look into Faery as I didnt know when or if I would be back, i tried to take it all in memorizing every detail. a single tear slipped down my cheek as I walked through the portal and into my woods.

yes being home is hard. However, I know who I am now. I know what I can do. Now I have to form a plan to get my husband back.
