Enemy In Our Midst
Chapter 6
A/N This is the last chapter enjoy and as always I do not own anything.
Sookie strolled into the club all fluid limbs and grace her stiletto's clicking on the tiled floor. She approached the bar and singled the bartender over with the wave of her hand.
"True blood O negative please" Sookie said as she scanned the bar looking for Eric but he was no where to be found.
"Excuse me?" the bartender asked arrogantly.
"I said true blood O neg please. Do you have a hearing problem?" Sookie replied as she bared her fangs in irritation. The bartender just nodded and got her blood, smart. Very smart.
Sookie gulped back her blood and then went up to the Dj booth to request a song the Dj agreed to play the song and Sookie stepped out onto the dance floor. As the song started to pump from the speakers Sookie began to move slowly to the beat hoping that this would bring Eric to her.
She spied Eric over by the hallway that led to his office. He was leaning against the wall and his eyes were on her. She slowly unbuckled her overcoat and let it slide off her shoulders, down her arms and land in a pile on the floor. Although he did not need to breathe she heard his intake of breath from where she was standing and over the music.
This time, This placeMisused, MistakesToo long, Too lateWho was I to make you waitJust one chanceJust one breathJust in case there's just one left'Cause you know,you know, you know
Sookie watched as Eric began to come closer and closer to her until he was a foot away. He was beautiful, god like dressed in black leather pants and a dark red shirt that all fit like they were a second skin. She wanted to reach out and touch but her hands remained at her sides. She continued to move to the beat and soon Eric was mimicking her movements. They moved as one fluid entity and it was mesmerising to watch.
That I love youI have loved you all alongAnd I miss youBeen far away for far too longI keep dreaming you'll be with meand you'll never goStop breathing ifI don't see you anymore
Eric reached out his left hand and Sookie took it as he pulled her close to his chest. She was wearing a ice blue silk sheath dress that clung to her curves deliciously and Eric unconsciously licked his lips. HE could feel her pert breasts and erect nipples pressing into him and he let a low growl out. Eric began to move and as they danced her scent began to become overpowering, she smelled like vanilla and lavender and it was driving Eric to the brink. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself as he opened his eyes he was struck by the look in her eyes. As the next chorus of the song began Sookie started to sing to Eric.
On my knees, I'll askLast chance for one last dance'Cause with you, I'd withstandAll of hell to hold your handI'd give it allI'd give for usGive anything but I won't give up'Cause you know
"Eric I love you and I would give anything for us. I've been so pigheaded and blind that I couldn't see what was right in front of me or what I was doing to you. You have put up with all my shit and still here you are. Here you are dancing with me. I'm sorry for everything and thank you, thank you for giving me exactly what I needed" Sookie said as she leaned in and placed a kiss where Eric's heart was. Sookie felt Eric stagger as if his legs couldn't hold him up.
"Sookie, I have.." Eric started but was interrupted by a blonde vampire.
"Not another word Eric. Do not embarrass me or yourself further. She is a lowly human for goodness sakes and you, you are a King. You are King of Louisiana act like it" Freyda hissed.
"Eric?" Sookie questioned, what was going on? Eric gave a little smile and then turned on the Queen of Oklahoma, who seemed to cringe away from the look in Eric's eyes. All Eric saw was red.
"Oh, shut up Freyda the very sound of your voice irritates me. I told you that I was already married and I love Sookie. Sookie is my rightful Queen and that will never change. I'am King and I want to claim my Queen. Why don't you just go back to Oklahoma, there is nothing here for you, there never was" Eric growled out as he turned back to his Sookie.
Freyda was pissed, no one treated her like a, a commoner she was a royal. She lunged at Eric but before she reached him Sookie as in front of her and had a hold of her by the throat.
"Youuur just a human" She cried out, Sookie snorted. Stupid, moron.
"You, you are stupid and not as tough as you seem to think. I suggest that you do go home now or I will end your pathetic existence" Sookie said as she shook the Queen for emphasis and let her go. The Queen fell on her ass totally humiliated. Sookie turned back to Eric waiting for an explanation.
"I became king the night I killed Felipe. No one challenged me, no one coukld. I didn't want it but I figured if I was a King it might be a little easier to keep us both safe. I gave the other two states, Nevada and Arkansas to Sandy. She will be a fine Queen. You are my wife and the rightful Queen of Louisiana and you belong by my side" Eric said as he watched Sookie.
"Well, well Mr. Highhanded rears his head once again, huh? Well, I think we need to work on that if we are going to have any kind of relationship let alone rule a state together" Sookie said with a smile. Eric returned her smile and reached out to pull her to him.
Sookie nor Eric seemed to notice Freyda pull the stake from her clutch or see her launch herself at Eric. Before she made it two feet she was a pile of blood and gore on the floor. Pam was standing behind her with a stake covered in blood in her hand and a smile on her face.
"Pam?" Eric said as he looked at his childe.
"You killed her to protect us? Really?" Sookie asked as she looked at Pam.
"Of course Mistress, you are my Queen right? I must defend and protect you at all times, that is my duty" Pam replied with a wink and a deep bow.
"Thank you" Sookie replied.
"You killed my Queen" came Richard's voice. He was Oklahoma's first lieutenant.
"Yes she did while protecting me. Pamela Ravenscroft is now your Queen and you will give your fealty" Eric commanded. Pam's eyes almost bugged out of her head. She fell to her knees in front of Eric.
"No master please, I do not want to be Queen I want to stay with you and Sookie" Pam cried out as she bowed her head.
"Pam being Queen is an honour but I will not force you, it is your choice" Eric replied as he laid his hand on top of her head.
"It is an honour to serve you Master" Pam said as she kissed his knuckles and stood up and took her place on his left.
"Ok. Well Richard since you were Oklahoma's first lieutenant you will now be King. You will be a good King one that I would back if ever the need arose" Eric declared as he bowed his head in respect.
"Thank you Eric" Richard replied with a smile.
"Here Master, I retrieved this earlier when I saw Sookie come in" Pam said as she placed a small black box in Eric's hand. He looked down at his hand and swallowed nervously, now or never. He turned to Sookie and went down onto one knee.
"Sookie Stackhouse will you become my pledged wife and Queen forever and always?" Eric asked. Sookie gasped when she saw the ring, it was beautiful. The ring was a tear shaped ruby surrounded in diamonds. She looked into Eric's eyes and saw, everything.
"Yes" Sookie replied and Eric slipped the ring onto her finger and pulled her into a searing kiss that had all the occupants of Fangtasia cheering.
"Well, I don't see any reason to wait. Why don't you let me do the ceremony, my first official act as King of Oklahoma?" Richard asked Eric and Sookie. They both nodded in agreement.
"Ok I'll get ready, I'll need 5 minutes" Richard said and left the fiancées alone.
"Are you sure Sookie?" Eric asked his voice wavering slightly.
"Absolutely" Sookie replied as she stood on tiptoes and gave Eric a chaste kiss.
"I'm ready" Richard called out and the two vampires made their way over to where he was standing.
"Alright my fellow vampires we are here tonight to unify these two in wedded bliss" Richard spoke the ceremony as everyone listened when it came time both Eric and Sookie wanted to say their own vow.
"Eric I have not always been there for you or trusted in you but no longer. From this night forward and for all eternity I pledge myself to you body, mind and soul. I love you Eric" Sookie said as she held his hand with her left one. In her right she clasped the Culviel Dor which she had forgotten she had hold of.
"Sookie when I first met you, you thrived in the sun and had dreams of babies and growing old and now you have nights of endless stars and eternity to spend with me. With all that I 'am and all that I have I will always be yours mind, body and soul" Eric said as a single red tear slid down his cheek.
Sookie was surprised at his vow, she had wanted children someday with someone sure but now she it wouldn't have been anyone it would have been Eric. Alas, they could not have children but they had each other and that was all that mattered. No one at the ceremony noticed Sookie's hand glow faintly for a second before returning to normal.
As they drank the chalice of blood and their vow was completed, Sookie felt peaceful and happy. Eric took her in his arms and kissed her long and deep with no need to worry about air.
From the pond in the Faerie Realm Niall watched his great granddaughter solidify her union to Eric and watched as their souls rejoiced. Niall did catch the glowing hand and a smile spread across his face. All was well in the world and Sookie he knew would forever be happy.
The End.
