"I don't think this is a good idea Sookie. I'm already on thin ice for steaking Longshadow to protect you. Killing another vampire is a very serious offence, regardless of the situation. I wish you would rethink this." I rolled my eyes at Bill's attempt to change Sookie's mind. Did he not realise that this was her idea and she was determined.

"You don't have to come with us Bill. I have Alexia to look out for me and we won't be long. We're only going to see if that son of a bitch that's framed my brother is there." "I still don't like the idea of you going to Fangtasia alone. You have no idea what vampires are capable of, especially ones that are hungry. They will kill you if you give them the opportunity."

I had enough of his little protection speech at this point. Don't get me wrong, I like Bill; he's a perfect gentleman and worships the ground that Sookie walks on but there's a limit. She may be 'his' in vampire terms but in girl terms, he was just overreacting and being an overbearing boyfriend.

"Er hello, 3000 year old Greek Demi-God slash warrior standing over here. Sookie won't be alone and I am more than capable of looking after her or have you forgotten the fact that I have the ability to rip a vampires head from its shoulders within an instant even in this get up." Sookie looked down at my outfit and smiled. I'll admit, the tight, short red dress wasn't something I would usually wear but we needed to blend in tonight. "Besides, Eric wouldn't let anything happen to us. She's safe."

Bill turned to look at me and held my gaze as if he was trying to glamour me. Surely Sookie had told him that it didn't work on me. Eric had tried to do it last night with no such luck and he was much more powerful than Bill. "That's what I'm worried about. Eric's never stepped in to stop bloodshed before, in fact, I'm sure he craves it." He then turned back to Sookie and grabbed her hands; "I would just feel better if I could accompany you tonight."

"We won't be able to blend if you're following us around all night and I trust that Eric would step in. He would protect Alexie, even if she is immortal, and I know that she'll protect me. I have to do this for Jason. I'll come straight over when we get back." With that, Sookie leaned over and kissed Bill on the cheek then sat up. I had lent her my black leather pants and knee high boots which she wore with a simple black top. She looked pretty damn hot and if Bill couldn't see that, then he was a fool. He followed us out of the house then vamped away as we reached my car.

"Does being immortal mean you have a lot of money?" I looked at Sookie over the hood of my car and rolled my eyes as I got in. "I suppose so. I don't stress over money like most mortals do. It's just there when I need something really. Why do you ask?" Sookie shrugged her shoulders and fastened her seat belt. "It's just the people round here think you have a trust fund to afford such a nice car."

I laughed as I backed the car out of the drive. "I've seen cars evolve in such a short period of time and they amaze me. Besides, I've always had a thing for big cars." I winked at Sookie and watched as she blushed slightly due to reading between the lines. I didn't think my Range Rover Evoque was such an extravagant car, well maybe only a little.

I swatted Sookie's hand away from herself so she couldn't adjust her outfit. "I'm sorry, I just don't feel comfortable. I don't understand how people can wear these things. I can feel my legs chafing already."

"I gave you the choice of wearing a dress instead but you insisted on the leather pants so quit complaining. Besides I love those! I've had them since the 90's and they've never let me down. Now stop your moaning, we're here for a purpose and we both have our parts to play." Sookie pulled a face and followed me towards the entrance of Fangtasia. At this point, the club felt like my second home since I was sure I spent more time here than I did at work. I saw Pam manning the door as usual in one of her many dominatrix themed outfits. I was sure she had a separate part of her closet just for her corsets. She smiled when she saw us and allowed us to walk straight in.

"You sure you only want Eric? I could always join in." "You know better than anyone that Eric doesn't like sharing." Pam laughed then composed herself as she practically barked at the people waiting in line.

"What was that all about?" I smiled at Sookie and we made our way to the bar. The place was busy tonight which meant that maybe we could find a lead. Both Maudette and Dawn were into sex with vampires and both came to this club: someone here must know something.

"Just Pam's way of telling me she approves at my outfit. Sexual flirtation is her way of being nice." Eric's eyes then found mine and he held my gaze. "Now, if you excuse me, I have to go make myself known. Pay close attention to the girls in here for now. They could know something." Sookie nodded then watched me as I swayed over to Eric. He was sitting on his throne and watched me with intensity as I climbed the stage stairs and stood to the side of him. He turned to face me and ran a finger down the side of face and the rest of my body as he whispered in my ear.

"I won't be able to resist you for long tonight lover. That dress is leaving little to my imagination and I think we still have a bed to break." I grinned at last night's memory. We had failed to break my bed but there were a few cracks on my bedroom wall. I leaned down and bit down on his earlobe then whispered back, "Just keep an eye out for anything suspicious and you'll get me soon. Patience is a virtue Erastís Mou." I walked back down towards Sookie and grinned at all the dirty looks I was receiving. Maybe if they knew they were trying to compete with the daughter of a God then they would give up.

Sookie passed me a bottle of beer as I approached her. She looked to be on her second gin and tonic and I could see a third one coming her way. "Thirsty?" "It just got a little hot in here that's all. For a moment there I thought you two were gonna have sex on the stage." I grinned as I took a swig of my beer. "It was very tempting. Eric is a hard man to resist. What about you? Did you hear anything out of the ordinary?"

"Well that girl over there is convinced she could take you in a fight," she pointed to a red head a few feet away from us who was shooting me daggers with her eyes, "but apart from that, nothing. Maybe we should just head home."

"Let's give it one more shot. We need to find another link."

I watched until Sookie was out of sight before I made my way into the house. Our plan had been a complete failure. Sookie couldn't find anything useful at the bar. No one seemed to have any murderous thoughts or thinking about either Maudette or Dawn. I was now out of ideas. It was clear that the murderer wasn't anyone from Fangtasia but I had promised Jason that I would help clear his name so I couldn't give up. I just had to figure out what my next step was.

I was about to put my key in the lock before I heard a noise from inside the house. It sounded like the creak of a floorboard but it wasn't loud enough to alert someone who wasn't use to hearing such low noises. Someone was in the house, someone who didn't live there and since only Bill and Eric were the only vampires that had invitations to the house, that someone was human. I slowly entered the house, being extremely careful not to make any noise. I stepped out of my heels and opened the draw where Sookie and I kept our unopened post. I lifted the bottom up to reveal a secret compartment where I kept my sai blades.

I stealthily moved through the house, being ready for whatever attack was about to come. I heard the movement of knives coming from the kitchen so I ran towards there. I must have made more noise than I intended to because as I reached the kitchen, the hooded figure was already heading out of the back door. I threw one of my sai blades towards them and watched as it sunked into the back of their leg but it didn't seem to slow them down as they turned around the corner of the house.

I ran after them but as I reached the side of the house, they were gone. I saw my blade thrown on the floor and a small blood puddle. I picked up my blade and looked around. There was no one in sight which meant whoever was in the house knew their way around and the best way to disappear. I was fast but they were completely out of sight so I wouldn't know what direction to start running in.

I retuned to the house and switched on the light. The knife draw was open with one thrown on the floor. They must have dropped it when they heard me. I picked up my bloody blade and placed it in some tissue. Maybe Eric could help me with the blood sample. I'm sure he could distinguish if the blood was from a man or woman. I walked back through the house to see if anything else had been touched but everything looked in place. Everything except a framed picture of Sookie and I, which had been placed face down. I retrieved my phone from my bad then headed back to the kitchen. I placed my other blade on the worktop then dialed the number for Fangtasia.

"Fangtasia, the club with a bite, how may I help you?" The club with a bite? Seriously? Could Pam not think of anything else to say? "Hi Pam, it Alexia. I need to Eric urgently, can you put him on?" She didn't say anything which I took to meant that she was going to get Eric.

"Miss me already or are you ready for me to rip that dress off of you?" "Hmm tempting but I actually need your help. When I arrived back home, someone was in the house. They were in the kitchen admiring our lovely knife collection. I managed to sink my blade into the back of their leg but they managed to get away. I was wondering if you could see if you could pick anything up from their blood." The line then went dead. I sincerely hoped that was Eric's way of saying he would be right over otherwise it was just plain rude.

I picked up my blade and examined it. It hadn't gone in very deep but caused some damage which would require stitches. If whoever it was had an ounce of sense, they wouldn't go to the emergency room; a knife wound like that would be hard to explain. What bugged me was how they knew how to disappear. They must be from around here but why here? No one knew I was seeing Eric except Sookie… "Mother Fucker!" They were after Sookie because of her relationship with Bill, that's why they were here tonight. They must have saw my car missing from the drive and assumed that she was in alone. That sick fucker!

"Are you hurt?" I turned around and came face to face with Eric. Now that was fast.

"I'm fine. I must have spooked whoever it was because they ran when they heard me. I was about to walk into the house then I heard movement from inside the house. I grabbed my sai blades and managed to hit them with one. They were gone by the time I got outside." I held up my blade expecting Eric to grab it but he didn't.

"I can't touch silver." I looked up at him and smiled. "I know that, I wouldn't give it to you if it could hurt. It would only turn to silver if I had the intention to hurt you. Ares did one hell of a job." He grabbed the dagger and I saw a look of relief on his life. Like he would think I would hurt him.

"Well it's definitely human but I suppose you already figured that one out since they were in the house. There's nothing abnormal about their blood: they aren't on any drugs nor have they got any alcohol in their system, but they are male. Probably just some random guy that hates vampires." I was impressed, he got all that from just smelling the blood. I took the blade back off of him and ran it under the water.

"I don't think it's a random attack. Whoever it was knew Sookie was seeing a vampire and knew where she lived. I think it's someone from Bon Temps. They knew how to get away and fast. I just wished I could have caught him." Eric sat and pulled me into his lap. I curled into him and stayed there for a while. I was beyond relived that Sookie went straight to Bill's. He may annoy me but he would protect her. I knew she was safe with him.

"I want you to take some of my blood." I moved out of Eric's grip and turned to face him. "Why? I don't need healing. He wasn't expecting me which was why he ran instead of attacking me." I swung my leg around so they were at either side of Eric's hips. He pulled my body flush against his as his fingers slowly crept up the hem of my dress.

"I know you don't but if you do, then it allows me to sense you. It'll also enhance your senses so if whoever it was comes back, you'll hear them before they see you." That was something I was not expecting from Eric. Bill had been so wrong about Eric; a man who 'craved' bloodshed would not insist upon me drinking some of his blood to help protect me. I nodded my head and watched Eric as he bought his wrist up to his mouth and bit into it using his fangs. His blood starting oozing out of his wound as he held it up to my mouth. I placed my mouth there and rolled my eyes back as I felt his blood course through my body; it was unlike anything I had ever tasted. There was no way to describe the way it tasted or the effect it was having on me.

I pulled away and watched as his wound started to heal. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hands then kissed Eric. His hand slid into my hair and grabbed the back of my neck. He pulled my head back and started kissing my neck. I felt his fangs press down into my neck and a low moan erupted from my mouth. If I had known that drinking Eric's blood would make me feel this good then I would have done it already.

Once he pulled away from my neck, I jumped up off his lap and started pulling him towards the staircase. "Come on Viking, you promised me a broken bed." As I reached the bottom of the staircase, I noticed a large raven sitting on the porch fence outside. I stopped dead in my tracks and Eric crashed into me.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" I quickly turned to Eric and smiled. "Nothing, I just think I left my car unlocked. You go on upstairs and I'll be there in a minute." He dipped his head and kissed me lightly on the lips before vamping up to my room. I opened the front door but saw that the raven was gone. I quickly closed the door again and leaned into it as I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat. He's here.

She just keeps on getting more and more complicated doesn't she haha Although, she is a total badass ;)

Please review and let me know what you think guys :)
