"I'm sorry, who are you again?" Sookie smiled at the vampire outside her front door. Eric's hearing was still a bit muffled as he pulled himself from sleep. He instantly knew it was night time as his body quickly adjusted. His vampire sense kicked into gear as he instantly recognized the scent in the air. Eric moved in a blur, only putting on his black jeans and quickly zipping to the front of the house, beside Sookie. Just as he expected - Ember. She smiled at Eric.
"Ember. What are you doing here?" She glanced at Sookie, bringing Eric's attention to her as well. "Sookie, she works for me." She looked at Ember, not really liking the young woman.
"Oh, well...come in then." Ember stepped in and brought her attention back to Eric.
"Pam sent me here. She was worried that you weren't when she woke up." Eric crossed his arms.
"So she sent you here?" Clicking behind Ember brought everyone's attention to the figure standing in the doorway - Pam. She flashed Eric a grin and then looked at Sookie as she stepped into the house. Eric cocked an eyebrow at his child.
"Benefits of fucking the Faery princess' best friend." She stepped beside Ember and looked at her. "You took too long." Ember shrugged.
"Blame the blonde." Pam glared at her. "Sorry - the breather." Pam smiled as she stroked her own hair.
"Better." Sookie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"So everyone knows where Eric is, can the vampire party leave my house now?" Ember tossed Sookie a look, hissing softly. Sookie replied with a glare that showed her dislike, easily.
"She's right. Ember, go back to the bar." The young vampire nodded and glanced at Eric. She was doing her best to mask her anger and disgust. She could smell their fucking still in the air.
"You too." Pam's smile instantly faded into a pout as she looked at Eric. "Now." She stomped her foot like a child and stomped out after Ember. Eric looked over the front door frame - noting the door itself was missing. "We're gonna have to do something about that." He grinned as he looked at Sookie, who wasn't smiling in the slightest. "What's the issue?"
"Oh, nothing! Nothing at all! Just my front door is missing and has been missing all day. I've slept through a dozen phone calls and Jason even came by! Thank god no one knows about your stupid cubby." Anger roared in him as he growled. She stiffened and swallowed.
"Forgive me for getting in the fucking way. I'll see myself out." As Eric went to walk by her, she grabbed his arm. He stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head toward her, looking at her grip for a moment before slowly dragging his eyes to meet hers. She remained quiet, not sure what he'd do next. Silence held them both for a few moments before in a blur, Eric grabbed Sookie by the arms and shoved her against the side of the door frame. Fear sparked in her eyes as his fangs clicked down. She swallowed again as her body slightly shook under his grip. He had a million things to say. Like how dare she pretend she didn't want last night. How dare she pretend she didn't want him. He growled as his hands tightened and she winced at the newfound pain. "I'm so sorry I'm not your fucking wolf." Her eyes widened. When she woke up, she had rationalized that Eric couldn't have known about her and Alcide. "I'm sorry I'm the wrong kind of fucking monster for you, Princess." His kiss was powerful, causing her head hit against the wall with its force. She squeezed her eyes as fear continued to boil in her. When he peeled his lips from hers, she opened her eyes to be met by his icy ones. The blue that had often reminded her of a warm summer day suddenly sent ice down her spine. She waited for him to say something but instead he growled once more and just like that, disappeared into the night. It took Sookie several minutes before reality came back and she found herself shaking as tears flooded her eyes. What the hell just happened? How could Eric be so vicious? Suddenly she found herself longing for Alcide.
"It's real simple. restock the bar then give Ginger the keys. She'll lock up." Ember nodded at Pam who smiled at her. "You did good tonight." Again, Ember nodded only this time with a smile. Pam looked her over. "Nice outfit by the way." {ref:imgur*dot*com/fWey6bA} Ember's smile widened as Pam left the office. She turned her attention to the shelves of alcohol in front of her. She looked down at the clipboard in her hand, reading the exact ones she had to fetch. She put the list on the desk and grabbed the first box, taking it out to the bar and setting it down. She looked around - it was 1am and the bar was closed - it was Sunday after all. The bar reminded her of New York - where she was born and raised. Her typical hang out spots were covered in black or red paint with vampire ankhs and goth decor everywhere. She smiled slightly as she recalled the first time she'd drank - it was at an underground bar - Contempt. She and a few girls that looked much older than they were had managed to convince their way in. Most of the girls were too shy to react to the older mens advances but Ember wasn't. Her darker childhood had allowed such things to seem almost normal to her. His name was Jakob - with a K. He was a guitarist in some band and he was hot. He must've assumed Ember was at least in her mid twenties - even though she was only 16 - and without hesitation offered her a drink. She wasn't really well educated in nightlife and had no idea what sort of drinks there were. She pulled the first one out of her head - a Long Island iced tea. By the end of the night, she had managed to drink 3 without throwing up.
"You're thinking about something." Ember blinked and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Eric. He was wearing just jeans - no shirt - and his feet were muddy.
"Childhood. Uh…rough night?" She cocked an eyebrow at him and he grinned.
"Something like that. Why are you still here?" She motioned over her shoulder at the box on the counter.
"Pam told me to restock before I gave Ginger the keys."
"Is Pamela here?" Ember shook her head. Eric's grin widened. "Is Ginger around?" Ember shrugged this time.
"Last I saw of her she was eating in the employee lounge." Eric took a few steps closer to her as he nodded.
"I see. " He looked toward the ground, noting the trail of muddy footprints he was leave. "Hmm, I'll have to make sure Ginger cleans this up before tomorrow." Ember laughed as she looked at them. "First, I need to shower." He dragged his gaze back to her as cocked an eyebrow. "Care to join me?" Ember smiled.
"What about restocking?" He closed the space between them as he brought his hand to the back of her head, letting his finger tangle in her hair.
"Mmm, I'm sure the boss will understand." He captured her mouth with his and pulled her body against his. There was something about her that intrigued him - what? he had no clue. She'd shown fangs but everything else about her hinted otherwise. Perfect example was how warm she felt against him at that moment. He inhaled - no scent. Just the same perfume she'd worn the first night.
"When you proposition me like that, how can I refuse?" Her eyes locked with him.
"That's the point." He took her hand and guided her into the office and to a door on the other end of it, she knew where it led - Eric's hideaway. She'd only seen the main center of it - where a bed rested in a large empty room. She had noticed doors in the distance but she hadn't bothered to investigate. Eric hadn't mentioned that he noticed she'd made it her business to slip out before sunrise the other night. He had been too exhausted to stay up the last hour before the sun rose and during the last hour of the night - she'd left.
"I want to apologize for leaving the other night." He stopped on the stairs and looked at her silently for a moment. "What?"
"I was just thinking about how you abandoned me." She rolled her eyes as they resumed their descent down the stairs.
"I didn't abandon you." When they reached the bottom, she noticed there was candelabras spread around the room, keep the light dim and romantic in a way. Eric turned toward her.
"Why did you leave?" She stood quiet for a moment, shifting her eyes around before finally sighing.
"I just don't do well with the spending the night shit, okay?" He could easily sense her defensiveness and instantly regretted causing it. He cupped her face and stroked her cheek.
"Shame...I would've love to treated you to my idea of breakfast in bed." It took a moment but he noticed the walls drop again as she smiled.
"I'm sorry." He kissed her forehead. What was he doing? He had gone out of his way to avoid being sweet to Sookie and here he was, comforting her exactly as he would Sookie. He needed to switch gears and quick. He scooped her into his arms and she instantly wrapped her legs around his waist. They kept their eyes locked to one another as he guided her to the big bed and laid her down on her. He looked her over before reaching for the 'collar' around her neck and tearing it off of her effortlessly. Her skin was flawless and beautifully pale.
"You're beautiful." She rolled her eyes.
"Sure, sure.I'm sure you say that too all the girls." Her voice held sarcasm and mocking that pissed him off. He was on her in an instant, pinning her hands beside her head.
"You should learn to take a compliment." She grinned at him, leaning up to brush her lips lightly against his.
"Oh yeah? What are ya gonna do if I don't? Huh?" He growled softly. She was ballsy - far more ballsy than Sookie could ever be. HE thought about all his options for a moment and settled on the moment he liked - and needed - the most. He turned her onto her belly under him and shoved her dress well above her hips. She wasn't wearing any underwear - not that he'd expected anything else. He made short work of his pants, releasing his erection. He guided the head of his cock between her lips, resting at her entrance. He took a moment to look down and marvel at her plump ass. He felt his cock twitch - she must've too since she whimpered. He stroked the soft flesh of her ass slowly, slapping it as well. She whimpered under him.
"Mm, something wrong?" She groaned.
"Tease." He couldn't help but smirk.
"Tell me. Tell me what you want, then."
"You. I want you in me. Now." He reached out and grabbed a fistful of her hair to use as leverage as he rammed into her with all of his force. Another vampire trait - she could handle him. A moan escaped her mouth as Eric quickly shifted into a vampiric pace with matching force. Eric knew he wasn't going to last long before he came for the first time - there was something about Ember that seemed to bring him to the edge quickly. "Oh fuck, yes." The room filled with only her moans and the sound of him slamming into her. He continued, losing himself in his own pleasure. In fact, Sookie was the furthest thing from his mind at the moment and he couldn't be more thankful. "Fucking fill me." He growled as her words seemed to push him even closer to his orgasm. There was only one more thing to complete everything. He quickly pulled her body up against his as his fangs clicked into place. She was still mid-moan as he bit down into her shoulder, allowing her blood to fill his mouth for the first time. He felt her tense up under him as the sweetness of her spilling into his mouth sent him over the edge, making him cum. It lasted several moments before he regained himself, still drinking from her. She was sweet. Incredibly sweet. He growled as she whimpered.
"Eric, enough." He gripped her by the shoulders. His mouth felt warm - his tongue on fire. "Eric! Stop!" He wasn't sure what happened next exactly, all he recalled was a sudden blast of light and then his back hit a pillar. He tried to focus, his mind felt foggy. What the fuck was going on? What was that light? He shook his head in an attempt to shake off whatever was causing his fog. It didn't work. He cursed. He couldn't remember ever feeling like this before - could he? He scattered through his memories quickly before stopping and finally looking up at Ember who was sitting on the bed, looking back at him. His eyes widened. It made sense now - the lack of scent, the warmth, the sneaking out before dawn. She wasn't just a vampire - she was something else. Another few moments and the rest of the pieces fell into place. Holy shit - the light and the blood. She was also a Faerie. She nodded.
"Yes, I am." His eyes widened even more.
Okay, I admit..I didn't proof. Typical of me, eh? I'm pooped - it's late. I wanted to get this out because I felt like I SUPER concentrated on Eric and Sookie and didn't give enough time to Ember. So, for those of you who guessed it - which were a lot - tada! I still want your thoughts and what not!
