Okay so updates are coming in quite fast and I'm over the moon for the response I've gotten for the first 3 chapters. So here's the chapter that explains everything. It's not my best work but I needed to bring in Alexandra's origins. I hope you enjoy :)
A/N: This chapter contains a couple small lemons so I'd thought I'd warn you before hand ;)
Disclaimer: See first 3 chapters
I could feel Eric's fangs on my neck as he kissed a spot on my neck; a spot that I never knew could turn me on. I threw my head back in pleasure then heard a small growl from Eric. I smiled because I knew that he could smell my arousal just as I could feel it between my legs. He wasn't the first vampire I had been with but he definitely was going to be the last: no one could even compare to him and we were just getting started.
I ran my hands down and then up his chest before I decided that I wanted to feel his skin. I ripped his black vest off of him and added it to the pile of my ruined clothes. Eric crushed his lips against mine and while we were fighting for dominance of the kiss, he pulled my bra off of my body and pulled me closer to him. The feel of his skin on mine caused my nipples to harden and my arousal to grow. Eric took complete control of the kiss that took my breath away and probably his if he had any. I pulled his hair causing him to look at him. I started kissing his neck and while I did, his hands crept down to my back and in one swift movement, my knickers were now among the pile of clothes on the floor.
My hands went to undo his jeans but he grabbed them. I stopped kissing him and looked up to look him. He still looked extremely turned on, which was obvious to me by the ever growing bulge in his jeans, but he also looked like he was about to stop this. "A Demi-God?"
I pulled my hands away from him and let out a loud sigh of frustration. After I told him what I was, I grabbed him by the hair and started to kiss him which was why we were in the position that we were in now: me sitting on his desk completely naked and him standing in front of me in only his jeans, sporting a really large hard on. I knew he had questions but I wanted to clear the sexual frustration that had been growing inside of me since we had met first.
"Yes, a Demi-God. As in half God half mortal like Achilles, although I was born from a God and not a sea nymph. I was born in 1170 B.C, towards the end of the Trojan War to the Goddess Athena and her mortal lover." At this point, I was expecting Eric to look at me like I was crazy. In a world where humans know of vampires, the idea of a Demi-God was still crazy.
"Athena? Goddess of Wisdom and War? Wasn't she labelled as the virgin goddess?" I smiled at Eric. I was impressed, he hadn't wasted his 1,000 years by just fucking whatever threw themselves at him. He actually read books and understood history. Well I can understand why Ancient Greece was a time that appealed to him; it was all about sex and wars, especially between the Gods. They all had a quarrel with a least one of their siblings or parents.
"She wasn't a virgin, obviously," I indicated to myself and continued. "Her sister Aphrodite, my aunt, got all the sexual attention and Athena was sick of it. So the one time she did have sex, she fell pregnant with me. She didn't want any of the Gods to find out about me so she stayed with my mortal father until I was born and then left me with him. He was a leader of the Athenian army and so I was raised as a warrior. He died before I could complete my training so I spent the rest of my childhood years in an orphanage."
At this point, Eric had sat down in the chair facing me. He looked at me with stern eyes, like he was trying to determine if I was being truthful. "I always figured Demi-Gods weren't immortal though. Achilles died during the Trojan War of a mortal death. You're telling me that you're over 3000 years old because of your God heritage?"
"I'll admit, as I'm telling you the story I'm finding it hard to believe. I never thought I would have to tell it. I've been able to portray myself as a human for thousands of years and no one ever questioned it; until you. But you're right; Demi-Gods aren't immortal like their parents. I should have died a mortal death but the Fates had other plans for me and this was where it got complicated."
"Because it isn't complicated enough?" I rolled my eyes at Eric and got up. He watched me with intensity as I walked over to what looked like a merchandise shelf and picked up a 'Fangtasia' t-shirt. I ripped the packet open and threw the black top over my head. "I would have preferred it if you had stayed naked. I was quite enjoying looking at your body. It is quite exquisite."
I hopped back up on the desk and faced Eric. He was taking it quite well but was there another way to take it? I was literally a walking mythology book. I knew things that historians would die to know. "I was 17 when I left the orphanage although age then had no meaning like it does now. I was travelling to Sparta when he appeared to me. I had heard stories of how beautiful Apollo was but never truly believed them till I saw him. He looked like a normal man except for the glow around him. I bowed to him out of respect but he placed his hand under my chin and lifted my head up. He had told me that he had been watching me and waiting till the right time to approach me. Approach me and ask for my hand in marriage."
"He wanted to marry you? Weren't you technically related to him?" I shrugged my shoulders and pulled a face. "He didn't care. The God's didn't and still don't. Zeus married his sister Hera and together they rule Olympus. Think of it in terms of vampires. Most makers have sexual encounters with their children. I'm sure you did with Pam and probably your maker with you."
"How did you know that?" I smiled at Eric and crossed my legs. He still watched the way I moved my body and was still clearly turned on. He obviously had a longer attention spam than a human.
"I've been around a long time Eric. I know about vampires, weres and the fair. I've even been with them all sexually, which was how I learned more about them. Humans never quite did it for me. I mean, they were all right but could never quite keep up with me. Well saying that neither had most of the supes I'd been with. I never held an attraction for them that was more than sexual until I met you. You've awoken something in me that I never knew existed. I'm infatuated with you and I don't even know you."
Before I could continue speaking, Eric was in front of me claiming my lips once again. There was no battle for dominance this time, he took over. I felt his tongue force its way into my mouth and I moaned at the feel of it. His hands roughly made their way up my legs while I arched my back and pushed myself closer to him. He pulled me flush against him so I could feel his erection through his jeans hit my core. I moaned through our kiss and smiled when I heard Eric growl again; that was my new favourite sound.
"I knew you couldn't be just a human, all that beauty and strength isn't something I've seen before. You're a force to be reckoned with and anyone who thinks they can handle you are stupid."
"Are you calling yourself stupid Mr Northman?" Eric grinned at me as his fangs appeared. "I don't think I can handle you, I know I can. I knew that from the moment you walked into my club. Now, I'm going to sit back down and allow you to finish the rest of your story before I get carried away again and fuck you right here on this desk so loud that Ginger will be able to hear you with her human ears." I grinned at Eric and watched him as he slowly sat back down. I didn't want him to stop but I suppose that I did owe him to finish my story. He wanted to know exactly what I was and I wasn't going to deprive him of that.
"So a wedding proposal from a God isn't something to be taken lightly. I was so mesmerised by his beauty that I felt myself walk towards him, almost like I was in a trance. But just as I stood up, a woman appeared beside him. She was wearing a beautiful white dress and she was also glowing, so I knew she had to be another God. She also looked familiar to me but I couldn't place her face. Within a flash she was standing in front of me, blocking Apollo from me. I could feel her anger radiating off of her and Apollo felt it too. He stepped away from her but she reached for a sword I hadn't noticed and placed it under his chin.
"It was then that I realised she was Athena but I didn't know she was my mother at the time. My father had told me that my mother had died during childbirth but that she was always watching over me. She pushed her sword forward so it pierced Apollo's skin and then I heard her speak, "no daughter of mine will ever be yours Apollo. She is destined for greatness, the Fates have spoken. She'll marry a warrior, not a God and will live a human life." And with that, they both disappeared. If I hadn't seen a drop of Apollo's golden blood on the road I wouldn't have believed it myself. It was in that moment that I found out who my mother was which made sense since I was drawn to war and battles. It was why I wanted to be a warrior of Athens. But I dared not defy the Fates. If I was to marry a warrior and live a human life then I would, and I did."
"So how are you here today? How are you immortal if your mother said that you would live a human life? Did a vampire get to you? Did you even have vampire's in Ancient Greece?" I laughed at Eric's assumptions. They didn't sound half bad and at times, I wish that was the case.
"None that I knew of but now I know there were a couple but they stayed within the army. That way, they could feed on the dying soldiers and keep their secret. And I'm just the outcome of a sick twist of fate. I married like Athena said I would and I was happy, well as happy as I thought I could be. It was many years later when I saw Apollo again. He appeared the night of the Boedromia, a festival in Athens where we thanked the Gods for their tribute to the Athenian army. He looked the same as I remembered him although this time, he had the look of death on his face. It was then that he murdered my husband in front of me and cursed me. He cursed me with Immortality so that I may live forever knowing that he was the one who took my life away from me. He also cursed me with eternal youth, so that I could watch those that fell in love with me die like I had done my husband."
I could feel a lump form in my throat but stopped it from forming it. I had mourned my mortal life and now it was only a distant memory. I smiled at Eric then walked towards him and straddled his lap. He held my hips close to him as I dipped my head and started kissing his neck.
"So you were cursed with immortality and eternal youth because you couldn't marry Apollo? But doesn't that go against what the Fates had set out for you?" I pulled away from Eric and threw my head back in frustration; I thought I was done talking about it.
"Apollo is smarter than people give him credit for. He didn't interfere with the Fates; I had married a warrior and lived a human life. I just hadn't lived a whole human life and the Fates never said anything about me dying a mortal death. Athena tried to reverse the curses but she couldn't, one God cannot undo what another has done. I pleaded with Athena to end my life but she couldn't. Instead, she offered me the life I had always wanted: the life of a warrior. I completed my training with her and she managed to plea with Zeus to allow me to stay on Olympus with her in exchange for my skills. I was and still am the God's personal warrior, or as I like to call it, their personal errand girl. They send me out to slay whoever or whatever and they return their thanks with a gift."
Eric raised an eyebrow at me and smirked. "What kind of gifts? Because I had a feeling that this body was a gift for me." I laughed at him and rested my head against his. "Aphrodite gifted me with this body after I returned her son's soul to her from the Underworld. It's come in handy over the past few hundred years."
"What about your strength? Surely that must be a gift because to be able to remove a vampires head from their body isn't the kind of strength you gain by going to the gym." I giggled at Eric's reference to one of human's past time.
"That was also a gift. A gift from Hera. She sent me out to kill Heracles or Hercules, as most people know him as. She gave me his strength, which matches that of a vampire, as a reward. Zeus wasn't too pleased that I had managed to kill his son but was impressed nonetheless which was a great honor from the King of Olympus."
I was done with talking about myself at that point and I think Eric knew it. There was still more to me than meets the eye but that was for another time. Everything from this point on was on a need to know basis; if Eric had to know then he would. The sexual frustration in me was at tipping point but just as I was about to take my new 'Fangtasia' top off, Pam slammed the office door open.
"Sorry to interrupt but it half an hour till dawn. If you're gonna take her home Eric then I suggest you do it now." Then Pam was gone just as quickly as she came. I released a loud sigh of frustration and climbed off of Eric. I ran my fingers through my hair and pulled at it slightly. I now had to spend another day fantasying about something that could have happened if Eric hadn't been so persistent.
"It won't take me long to get you home but I suggest you put this on. It could get a bit cold for you." Eric handed me my leather jacket that I had left here last week. During the commotion, I had forgotten to grab it. I stepped into my heels and laughed at myself. I was about to participate in the walk of shame and I hadn't even had my way with Eric.
I followed Eric outside but before I could ask him where his car was, he grabbed me and shot up into the air. My initial reaction was to scream but I don't think I could have done that. I held on to Eric with all my strength and closed my eyes. Then, I felt my feet touch the ground. I opened my eyes and saw that we were standing on Sookie's front porch. I looked up at Eric and he smiled at me.
"So I take it you've never flown before?" "Umm no, there are other ways to get to Mount Olympus that doesn't involve my feet leaving the ground. I better get in and explain all this to Sookie. She trusted me with her secret and now I need to return the favour. Hopefully she'll still be awake." I turned to walk away and smiled on the inside when Eric pulled me back to him.
"This doesn't change anything. I know who you are now but I still want you." He placed a light kiss to me lips but before I could kiss him back, he was gone. I looked up to the sky and silent cursed, "Fucking vampires."
I quietly opened the front door and shot upstairs. I crept into Sookie's room and saw her fast asleep in her bed. I sat down next to her and soft shook her awake. She opened her eyes and looked up at me.
"Well need to talk Sook. I have a lot of explaining to do."
So there you have it! Most of Alexandra's story, there's still more but I'll bring that in when its needed throughout the story. I know it seems like a mythology lesson with True Blood thrown into it but it goes back to be a True Blood fanfiction in the next chapter! Please review and let me know what you think :)
