September 20, 1994

The heavy rain beat down on everything it touched. Most people would not be out of this type of weather, but some did not have a choice. Mary ran in the middle of the night holding a baby carrier with a blanket on top in hopes of keeping the baby dry. She was down on her luck and knew she did not have much time. They were after her and her baby and she had no other choice.

"Hush now love, I do not wish to give you away, but it's for the best," Mary whispered to the little blond haired, blue-eyed baby, no more than a few days old.

"Are you sure about this sis? They're vampires for God's sake. How do you know they won't kill her?" The older redhead asked. She had a look of disgust on her face at the thought of leaving the baby with a nest of vampires.

"Pam will take her in, I'm sure of it. Trust me Lily" Mary said before leaving the baby on the doorstep. A small bag lay beside her, a letter with Pam's name telling her everything was in with the baby. The sun would be coming up soon and the vampires would be back to their nest for the day.

"I don't like this," Lily said looking down at the little baby girl who looked so much like her mother.

"Nor do I Lilly, but it's for the best. If they catch me what do you think they will do to Lynx? I will not let them get their hands on her," Mary said wiping her eyes of the tears that were rolling down her face. Green eyes locked with bright baby blues for the last time before she took off into the night.

"Eric, what the hell is that?" A woman with blond hair the same colour as Lynx's asked as a strikingly tall man came up to the door of their nest.

"That my dear Pamela, is a baby," the man said bending down to move the blanket form the baby's face. The letter with Pam's name was held tightly in the baby's little hand.

"I know that Eric but why is it on our doorstep?" Pam asked with annoyance clear in her voice while glaring down at the baby

"I'm not sure, but maybe the letter will tell us." He said while picking up the car seat and bringing the baby into the house.

"We are not keeping that thing, Eric," Pam said as Eric picked the baby up with care not to hurt it.

"It's not a thing Pam, she's a little girl. she kinda looks like you," he said as Pam picked up the envelope and tore it open.

Pam.

You do not know me, but I am your four-time great granddaughter and the baby is Lynx, my daughter. I am not able to care for her but please keep her safe. I know I am asking so much of you, but I have no other choice. She has gifts and people are after her in hopes of using her.

Everything you will need is in the bag. Her birth certificate is enclosed, and she is only a few days old.

I do not wish to give her up, but I am being hunted and when they find me, they will kill me. Please take care of my baby and when she is old enough, please give her the letter addressed to her.

Yours sincerely,

Mary Swynford de Beaufort

Pam read over this a few times before looking at Eric, then at the baby and then back at the letter a few times. Long before Eric turned her, Pam had a baby girl. It was a time when Pam was unable to care for a child, so she left her daughter with her mother to raise

"We have to keep her Eric," Pam said her voice no higher than a whisper.

"Thought you didn't want to keep it," Eric said giving her a knowing smirk. Sometimes Pam really wanted to hit him.

"She's my family. My however many times great-granddaughter who is in danger because she's different," she said as Eric placed the carrier down before taking the letter from Pam to read.

"Are you sure you want to do this Pam?" Eric asked. He knew Pam didn't care about many things, but she loved him, and she loved her family.

"Yes Eric," Pam said before walking over to the baby and picking her up.

-Present day-

I woke up to the sound of someone pounding on my door. I rolled over and looked at the clock on my bedside table to see it was five in the afternoon. I pushed the covers off my body and sluggishly walked to the door. I felt terrible and my head was killing me. Last night really took a toll on me. Without even thinking to check who was on the other side of the door I opened it and was met with the blond from last night.

"What do you want?" I asked not caring if I was rude or not. I didn't like her, I felt bad and wanted to get back into my bed.

"You didn't show up to the meeting so I thought I would check on you," she said, way too cheery and bubbly for my liking.

"Why? It's not like you really care. My guess is you just wanted to make sure that Eric didn't kill me," I said leaning on the door frame. I was starting to feel weak and standing up wasn't helping.

"He's not a good person Lynx. I know him better than anyone. He's cruel, bloodthirsty. He even locked up my best friend's cousin for weeks in his dungeon," she said. I tried to hold back my temper. I really didn't need to make trouble, but this girl was pushing her luck with me.

Without even thinking about what I was doing, I grabbed her around the throat, pushing her onto the wall in the hallway.

"Look here you little bitch! I know Eric better than anyone else on this fucking planet. He and Pam both took me in when I was left on their doorstep as a baby. They raised me, gave me a home and I will be damned if I stand here and let you talk about the only family I have. So, let's get one thing straight blondie, I don't like you. I have no clue why Eric even brought you along but if I ever hear you bad mouth my family again, they won't ever find your fucking body." My voice never got any higher but I was the type that didn't have to yell to get my point across. I was so fucking done with her bad mouthing my family and I would put a stop to it by force if I had too.

"You bitch," she spat in my face making me lose my cool and temper even more. Without thinking, I slammed her head into the wall, my grip tightening on her throat. Pulling her head from the wall, I slammed my forehead against her face. I heard the crunch of her nose breaking before I was roughly pulled back and thrown against the wall. My head smacked the drywall hard enough it made my headache much worse

"You will not put your hands on Sookie," I heard the angry voice of her vampire say through gritted teeth. Cute, he thought he was scary.

"And you will not put your hands on my family, Bill Compton," I heard Eric say as he bent down to check on me. His cool hands felt great on my aching head.

"She attacked me," I heard blondie say from behind her vampire. I wanted to roll my eyes at the scared little girl act she was playing.

"You had it coming. Be lucky that I really didn't stomp your ass into the ground you little blond tart," I said standing up on shaky legs. Eric was by my side the whole time. I knew he was pissed but I could not tell if it was at me or from Bill putting his hands on me.

"Enough. Lynx go back inside, I'll be there shortly," Eric said. I could tell he was barely controlling his temper and I really didn't want to deal with anymore, so I kept my mouth shut and did what he said.

I was laying on my bed when he opened the door and walked into the room.

"Could you not stay out of trouble?" I heard the grin in his voice and knew he was not mad at me.

"The bitch was asking for it. Why did you bring her here anyway?" I asked sitting up on my bed. My world started to spin as I moved making me feel even worse.

"She can do things you will not," Eric said coming to sit beside me on the bed.

"Like what?" I leaned my head on his shoulder and waited for him to reply.

"Like go into the Fellowship of the Sun's church. She will do the scouting and hopefully find Godric. And she can read people's minds," Eric said laying his hand on the back of my neck messaging the tension away.

"Why can't I go?" I asked.

"I will not let you put yourself in harm's way. If Sookie were to die that would be unfortunate, but I could not live with myself if something happened to you, if I couldn't save you " he said. I pulled away and looked him his sapphire eyes. I knew I meant very much to Eric but I never knew how much until now.

"I'll be okay, I'm tougher than I look," I said trying to make light of this whole situation.

"Come on, get back into bed," he said, I did just that without saying anything else. I felt like I could sleep for days.

"Wait, when are we going to save Godric?" I asked Eric, hoping that it would be soon. I had a really bad feeling about this.

"Sookie will go to the Fellowship tomorrow during the day, and we will follow that night," was all Eric said before walking out of the room.

I guess at some point I had fallen back to sleep because when I opened my eyes it was noon the next day. In need of food and a very hot shower, I ordered room service before undressing and stepping into the enormous bathroom to start the shower. I had no clue what today would be like, but I knew it would be long and very stressful. Hopefully, we would save Godric. At the thought of him, I felt my heart start to race. I felt this pull towards him like my body wanted me to go to him.

Shaking my head of these thoughts, I turned off the water and stepped out and started to dry off only for there to be a knock at the door to my room. Assuming it was my food, I threw on a towel and headed into the main room to get the door. Only it was not my food and I realized too late that I should not have opened my door, and before I could react everything became black.
