I think I screamed when I watched True Blood earlier! One episode is not enough but that is all i am going to say; I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet :) Thank you for all the feedback I've gotten so far, it's amazing. And thank you to everyone who followed and added it to their favourite! I hope I don't disappoint you

A/N: The first part of this chapter is rated M ;)

Watching Eric sleeping during the day was quite amazing. He laid completely still and the sound I caused when I tripped over his shoes didn't even make him stir. He was also a bitch to move. I woke up with his arms firmly locked around me and tried to wriggle out of then but it proved harder than I thought it would be. I finally did then decided to explore Eric's apartment better.

We had spoken the night before but ultimately we agreed on one thing: there were some things we couldn't change about who we are and some things needed to happen even if we liked it or not. I know I had done worse than torture someone so it was the pot calling the kettle black.

I think we've just both learnt to be honest with each other. Eric was the only one (apart from the Gods) who knew everything about my past and still looked at me the same way he did when I first met him. There were sounds things I couldn't tell Sookie because they would be hard for her to understand and I would never want her to look at me in a different way because of what I've done. I was stuck with the life I was living so I just had to suck it up and get on with it. Being with Eric made it easier; he made life worth living.

I found food in Eric's fridge which I was shocked at but wasn't complaining: I was starving. After I had eaten I needed to find something to do with my day. I couldn't go anywhere since my car was at the club and having a very flexible job meant that I didn't need to sit in an office all day which also meant I had more free time. I decided to sit in front of Eric's extremely large TV and indulge myself in meaningless shows that I wouldn't normally watch. I needed to find myself a hobby.

It was past 5 when Eric emerged from his room. He walked out completely naked (no complaints from me) and walked over to his kitchenette area. I watched him (and his perfectly sculptured ass) as opened the cupboard and pulled out something.

"Is that blood?" He turned to look at me and smirked. "I tend to keep a few bags of blood around. I can't stand that synthetic stuff and it satisfies me enough when the sun's still out. Want some?" I pulled a face causing him to laugh as he drank the bag of blood. For a moment I wondered where it came from but then decided not to dwell on it. Although the idea of Eric draining someone's blood for a bag did make me smile.

"You know you look really good naked." He turned to face me fully and my eyebrow rose when I saw his erection. He slowly walked over to me and trapped me in on the sofa with his arms. "I should say the same to you. Laying next to you whilst you're naked is my second favourite thing to do with you." I looked up at him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"And what's your favourite?" "Well I could show you better than I could tell you," and with that, Eric picked me up and vamped us up to his bathroom. I giggled as he pulled his top off of me and pushed me into the shower. His lips were then on mine and I felt myself melt into him. He pushed me up against the wall and continued to kiss me as he turned the water on. I pulled him with me to stand under the water flow and kissed him again. His erection continued to poke me in the stomach and I smiled at the feel of it.

Eric wasted no time in lifting me up and burying himself into my wet core. I moaned at the feel of it and smiled when his fangs popped out: someone was really turned on. I squeezed my legs and pulled his head back as I felt his whole length enter me. Sex with Eric was like nothing I had ever felt before. Whether it was hard and quick or slow and loving, it always sent me over the edge and leave me wanting more.

"This never gets old." Eric grinned at me then slammed me against the wall. I moaned in pleasure and begged him to continue. My moans got louder with every thrust, which meant this was going to end before either of us wanted it to.

I could feel my release and knew Eric was close to his too. He tended to kiss my shoulder when he was and his head had dipped to my shoulder.

"Phone call Eric." We both looked over at Pam who was standing on the other side of the shower holding Eric's cell phone in her hand. She was wearing a see through negligee which I admired; it was definitely something I would buy. Now that the moment was gone, Eric rolled his eyes and pulled out of me. I think I whimpered at the loss of contact as he set me down on my feet and snatched his phone from Pam and stormed out of the bathroom. I think he mumbled something like 'jealous bitch' as he walked past Pam. She smirked then watched me as I stepped out of the shower.

"You can pick out some clothes from my closet if you like. I think I have a few pairs of jeans shoved in the back. Take your pick." I wrapped a towel around me and began to ring out my hair. "Thanks Pam but next time, please wait until we're finished. I wouldn't want to hurt you by kicking you out." She smirked then vamped out of the bathroom. She sure did know how to put a smile on my face.

I walked back into Eric's room around twenty minutes later and found him sitting on the edge with his head in his hands. I sat down next to him and he looked over to me and smirked. Pam sure did have an amazing range of halter neck tops.

"Who was on the phone?" "An associate from Dallas. The sheriff of area 9 in Texas has gone missing; he hasn't been seen in over a week. I said I'd go and help find him. They want him found before the Authority find out and step in."

"Let me come with you. I can help. There's only so much looking you can do at night and maybe the key to finding him is looking during the day." He nodded then got up and quickly got dressed.

"I also need Sookie's help. She'll be able to find out information without being detected. I'm sure you have your own methods of getting information out of people but we may need to be subtle." I smirked and nodded. Having Sookie would definitely help us.

To say that Sookie wasn't happy to see either Eric or me was the understatement of the century. We arrived at Bill's and Jessica opened the door. She looked excited to see us even though she had only met me once and it was her first time meeting Eric. She told us that Bill and Sookie were in his study and that we should go right in, which we did. However, if I had known that Sookie didn't want to see us, I would have knocked.

"He tortured Lafayette for two weeks and you're acting as if he hasn't done anything! He's a monster with no heart and yet you worship the ground he walks in. How could you be so naive and stupid?" Eric's fangs snapped out at hearing Sookie's words. Bill's then snapped out in retaliation to Eric and I rolled my eyes. They were acting like teenage boys. Although Sookie wasn't acting any better. I hadn't even said anything before she started on her little rant.

"I am not acting as if nothing has happened! It has and I've dealt with it in my own way. I didn't come here to argue with you although I don't understand what you're issue is. I need your help."

"Oh that's rich, you coming to me when you need my help. I'm assuming I'll also be helping him too?" She indicated at Eric who was yet to say anything. His fangs were still out but he hadn't moved from his position beside me. "Well you can forget it! There is no way in hell I'm going to help him. And you! I can't even look at you without feeling disgusted. You forgave him after what he did? Why?"

Sookie moved closer to me and I wished she hadn't. I didn't take friendly to anyone that tried to intimidate me whilst insulting me and Sookie was doing both. I may love her to pieces but she was about to cross a line and once she did, I wouldn't hesitate to push her back.

"Are you listening to yourself? Of all people I would expect you to understand since you're dating a fucking vampire yourself! The world isn't black and white like you seem to believe it is; just because you don't understand why something happens, doesn't mean it doesn't have to happen. Yes I was mad at Eric for what he did. I threw him across his fucking office with the intention of hurting him when I found out. But I also understand why he did what he did. He should have killed Lafayette but he didn't and he had no intention of doing so. Eric is not perfect but newsflash Barbie, neither is your Ken!" I indicated towards Bill and he growled at me. I curled my hands into fists and stepped towards him but Eric held me back.

"You're so quick to judge Eric based on what Bill has told you that you've never stopped to understand the reasons why Eric's done those things. Yes he has killed for fun but so has Bill and so have I!" Sookie stepped back at my last comment then rolled her eyes in disgust.

"You have to understand this world if you're going to be a part of it! I'm sorry if you don't agree with it but it's the way it has to be. I can't step on eggshells around you anymore: I can't hide things about myself in fear that you will look at me differently. And you are more than welcome to hate me for that but don't hate me for things that aren't my fault."

Sookie was about to say something to me but then bit her tongue. Maybe it was for the best. "I'm not here to ask you to help just Eric and I. The Sheriff of area 9 in Texas is missing and we need to find him before something happens. We need your help Sookie. We don't want to shed any more blood. This is bigger than us and you know it. Please come with us to Dallas. We'll be gone for a few days but there's a hotel there that fully accommodates vampires so we'll be safe."

Sookie looked up at me then at Eric before turning back to Bill. He didn't say anything; there was nothing he could say. If Sookie agreed to come with us then Bill would to but I had a feeling if she did agree, I would only see her when I had to. I think it's going to take her more time to calm down this time around.

"Fine. I'll help but only because I don't want any more bloodshed either and I owe you for a lot. But I am not doing this for him," she pointed at Eric and curled her lip. "He doesn't deserve anything. Oh and I want $3,000. I'll be missing a lot of work."

"Fine. You can have $3,000. I'll organize for a room for the three of you. I don't think Bill would leave his new vampire daughter alone for a while." Eric smirked as Bill glared at him again. I was definitely going to ask Eric why it was always a pissing contest between the two of them. "I'll also organize your transport: a flight from Louisiana to Texas for one human and two vampires for tomorrow evening. Alexia and I are leaving tonight so we'll be there when you arrive tomorrow."

Sookie just nodded then turned to face Bill. We took it as our invitation to leave so we did. On our way out I could hear Jessica's excitement over going to Texas. As we stepped outside Eric grabbed me and vamped us back to mine.

"How are we getting there tonight? It's a long drive and it'll be daylight when we arrive." I opened the door then headed straight up to my room with Eric following me.

"We aren't driving. I'm taking us although I've never done a long distance flight with a passenger before." I looked over at him and saw that he was smiling: he was serious. I stepped out of Pam's heel and threw on my ankle boots; I was sick of heels.

"Are you serious? I can't go to Dallas without packing." "Just take what you can't buy there. I heard there's a great clothing store inside the hotel. Besides, I thought I owed you some new clothes anyway?" He was trying to be charming. He was trying to make up the fact that I had just gotten into an argument with my best friend over him even though he didn't understand the relationship. I grabbed a light travel bag that I could throw around my shoulders from under my bed. I threw a few items of clothing in it then saw Eric's face change as I pulled up a few floorboards and pulled out a metal trunk. I opened it and grabbed a few wooden steaks (in case any vampires were unfriendly) and a dagger (for safe keeping), which I threw in my bag.

"Planning on fighting a war?" I smiled as I placed my trunk back and grabbed my bag. "A girl never leaves the house without her accessories. I just gotta grab one more thing then we're good to go." He nodded then followed me back downstairs. I opened the draw where I kept my sai blades and grabbed them. I tucked them into the back of my jeans and pulled my top over the waistline. I wasn't looking forward to this journey.

"You okay in there, Alexia?" I could hear Eric laughing on the other side of the door. I loved hearing his laugh but not when my head was practically in the toilet bowl. I had been fine when we first reached the hotel. We managed to check in but as soon as we walked into our suite, everything in my stomach decided to come up. God I hated flying. I get nauseous just watching Hermes.

When I finally stopped, I managed to rinse out my mouth then joined Eric. The suite was extremely luxurious; it was completely light tight and came with a very comfy looking sofa, a TV, a mini fridge and something that looked like a hot tub in the bathroom.

"Can we not fly anymore? I think I've just remembered why I like my feet firmly on the floor." I walked over to Eric and sat down next to him. It had only taken us an hour to get here but it felt longer. "So when do we start?"

"Tomorrow, when Sookie gets here. I know you probably don't want to see her but the sooner we find Godric, the sooner we can get out of here. I appreciate what you said earlier and I know it took a lot for you to ask her for help after what she said." Eric pulled me closer to him and placed a kiss on my temple. It was times like this when I wished that Sookie could see Eric because maybe then she would understand that he isn't the big bad vampire that she believes he is.

"I didn't know his name was Godric. You never mentioned it before." Eric looked down at me but I saw that his eyes were filled with emotion; something I didn't always see. It was then that I noticed Eric's body language. He looked stiff, like something was worrying him or something was hurting him inside; like he was uncomfortable.

"Eric do you know him personally? Is that what all this is about?" I climbed onto his lap and he held my tight.

"Godric's my maker Alexia. That's why I have to find him and why I'm glad you're here with me."

Not the best ending but I think you got the gist of it :) I'm trying to finish all the remaining chapters for season 2 this week so you may be in for a treat :) Please let me know what you think and review! It makes my day :)
