"What are you doing here?" Jason came up behind us and pointed at Eric.
"This is my house." Eric calmly told Jason.
"Actually it's her house." Jason retorted as he plopped down on the couch.
I rolled my eyes at how childish they were acting. This was going to be a long night.
"It is?" Eric turned to me and I nodded.
"You bought it from my brother when I was gone." Eric still looked confused.
"Jason can you go and see what Amelia is doing?" Jason caught on that I wanted alone time with Eric and he nodded slightly.
"Fine but if you hurt my sister…"
"I would never." Eric said quickly cutting off my brother.
His eyes widened in shock as he realized what he said.
Amelia was right about the memories being gone but the feelings were still there.
Jason nodded slowly and ran upstairs.
"Explain to me why my feelings for you are so intense." Eric spared no time and got closer to me.
"I don't know when or how you fell in love with me but you did," I started, "but I can start with how we met." I smiled.
"You were someone I needed to question after the deaths of these girls I knew to clear my brother's name. My soon to be ex-boyfriend at the time took me, Bill Compton."
"You were in a relationship with him?" Eric voice was full of disgust.
"Yeah that's a long story too."
"I have time." I smiled softly and took in a deep breath.
We spent the majority of the night talking about our history. How we met, the Dallas drama, Russell, Bill, the witches, how we hated each other then soon loved each other. Eric would stop me from time to time to ask a question but he stayed quiet most of the time just letting the information sink in.
I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. Did he think I was crazy? He could feel it in his blood that I wasn't lying but what if that wasn't enough? Right there something struck me.
How come Bill didn't feel it in his blood when I saw him?
I put that away for another time and shook my head clear of the thought.
When I was done Eric looked lost in deep thought.
"I remember all of these things but it's like you are a blank spot in my mind." I was about to say something until I heard some yelling from upstairs.
I bolted up and ran up the stairs with Eric close behind me.
"You crazy bitch what the fuck is your problem." Jason ran out of the room and I saw a deep gash on his arm.
"Amelia!" I yelled.
Amelia had a dagger in her hand and she was frantic.
"Well if you didn't move I wouldn't have cut your arm. I need your blood for the spell."
She got closer to us but I blasted her with my light.
"Stay away from my brother." I told her sternly while Eric and Jason gaped at me.
Jason had never seen me use my light power while Eric just forgot that he had.
Eric's eyes held a mix of shock and wonder as Amelia groaned and got up.
"I don't want to hurt you Sook I'm just trying to fix what I did. I don't need any more blood I just wanted to fix your brothers cut." She dropped the dagger and held up her hands.
"Sorry." I mumbled as she moved closer to me.
She reached out her hand to Jason.
"Just fix the damn cut and this spell." He brushed past her into her room.
She sighed and followed him into the room shutting the door carefully behind her.
"How did you do that?" I forgot to tell him about my fae history.
"I'm part fairy it's also how I can read minds." He nodded.
I turned to walk away but he stopped me and put his hand on my cheek. He was so gentle with me that it reminded me of the time he had amnesia. The time he wasn't an asshole, the time he wasn't busy with all the drama that seemed to surround us, the time he was just … well him.
"You are amazing." His gaze grew more intense and lustful as he slowly leaned in.
My mind told me I should back away, my heart told me to take things slow and not kiss him while this spell was going on, but my body told me to give in and let him take me here and now.
"Eric why did you come and find me?" I asked as he was inches away from my face.
I could feel his cool breath against my lips.
"Because I believed you and I love you," he paused, "and I had a feeling I needed to come here and find you." He closed the distance and I found I missed the closeness between us.
He was soft and gentle but passion got the best of us turning our soft kiss into a possessive one full of lust and desire.
He ran me downstairs over to the couch and it was like déjà vu.
"We can't Jason and Amelia." I told him as I reluctantly pulled away.
"I have my ways." He picked me up and ran us to his cubby.
He dropped me on the bed and he ripped away my shirt.
"So beautiful." He murmured against my skin making me shiver with lust.
I remembered our first time and I blushed at the thought of it. The cool fall night hitting me gently as Eric slowly entered me. The moonlight hitting his features making him even more handsome then he already was.
I closed my eyes and sighed in pleasure. When I opened my eyes Eric was gone and I was in the woods we had sex in for our first time.
I gasped as I got up and looked around.
"How did I get here?" I asked out loud.
I shivered as the cold air hit my bare skin and I tried to keep myself warm by wrapping my arms closely around me.
Okay Sookie, let's think this through how did I get here? My inner thoughts rang through my head as I tried to figure out what I did to make me get here.
The only thing I could think of was me thinking about this place.
Was this some fairy power that I didn't know I had until now?
I shut my eyes and tried to relax and thought of the cemetery by my house to see if my theory was right.
I concentrated on it and when I opened my eyes I was in the cemetery.
"Cool." I exclaimed as I laughed and looked around in delight.
This was going to come in handy if I was in trouble.
"Now the house." I shut my eyes again but before I could think I heard someone walking towards me.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?"
I opened my eyes and saw Russell standing before me. I froze and tried to cover myself starting to feel very exposed.
"Oh sweetheart don't worry I'm not interested in you that way." he smiled and emphasized the last words.
He stepped closer to me and I noticed he looked like his old self again. The burnt skin that was there was now fresh and renewed. His hair was gelled back and he had a strange glow about him.
His fangs were out and they looked sharper than before.
"What are you?" He sniffed the air and grinned.
He didn't remember me this was either going to be good or bad.
"None of your fucking business."
"Oh you are my fucking business my lovely," he paused, "I'm going to guess Fae since you popped here the way you did but I will say you are a hybrid since your smell isn't that potent." Oh this was bad.
He got closer to me, "You don't want to get any closer." He laughed.
"A threat, I am going to enjoy killing you." He got closer and I blasted him.
"Enough." I yelled and he flew back.
He hit the tree with a loud thud. I closed my eyes and thought of the house but nothing happened.
"Shit." I cursed.
Russell slowly got up and when his eyes met mine he growled.
"You."
"Sookie." I turned and saw Eric.
"You and your Viking are mine." Russell smiled at Eric and me as he ran away.
The way he looked at me when he got up told me one thing. Russell remembered me.
"Sookie did he hurt you?" I shook my head numbly.
"He tried but I stopped him," I paused, "he remembered me."
"How?"
"I blasted him with my light," I smiled as I turned around to face him, "I can make you remember, I did it before I can do it again." Eric raised his eyebrow.
"You have to use your power on me?"
"Yeah but it will be quick." He went silent and sighed.
"Okay give me your best shot." He backed away from me and braced himself for my light.
I can't believe I didn't think of this before I just hope this works. I sighed as I concentrated on the warm light.
I thought of all of our time together and smiled at the ones of us together.
I needed Eric to remember not only us but of the times we shared which in the end made him a better man.
I felt my hands begin to warm up.
"Enough!" I yelled as I hit him with the blast.
He fell to his knees and groaned in pain. My heart clenched to see him in pain but this was my only chance to get Eric to remember. This had to work it just had to.
I ran over to him once I was done and helped him up.
"Eric." He remained still and I was filled with a sudden fear.
What if I really hurt him?
He began to move and I sighed in relief.
"Oh that hurt." He laughed and when his eyes met mine he smiled.
"Did it work?" I asked.
"You are so much more than you give yourself credit for," he grabbed me and pulled me into his lap, "of course it worked." He kissed me passionately and I smiled.
I pulled away from him and got up while Eric gave me a hurt look.
"I need to make Bill remember." His expression became cold as he got up.
"Tell me, why do you act like you care for me when you are so ready to go back to King Bill. You need to choose because I will not," he paused, "I cannot share you. I love you and I will never be Bill so please choose for your sanity and mine."
His eyes were full of hurt, confusion, and regret.
"I do care for you, I love you but my feelings for Bill can't just go away like that." I snapped my fingers and he got closer to me and took my hand.
"Sookie why can't you let yourself be happy. You settle for pain and misery every time. I could make you happy, we could be happy."
He wasn't lying; my whole life had been full of pain and regret. Maybe I had just begun to think that's all I was worth.
I was in love with Eric I knew that but was I really willing to let go of Bill that quickly?
Tears filled my eyes as Eric shook his head and dropped my hand turning away from me.
It was finally time I needed to choose.
"Eric." I ran up to him and kissed him passionately.
I couldn't lose Eric I needed him. He returned my kiss quickly and smiled against my lips.
He was right about Bill having his chance and he blew it. Even with this spell Eric still didn't give up on me. I was choosing, for the first time, something that would actually make me happy. I was choosing Eric.
"You are mine?" he asked his voice and eyes full of trust.
"I'm yours." I told him while crying and laughing.
He pushed me up against a tree and I put my hands on both sides of his cheek and looked him in the eyes.
"Don't hurt me." I told him and he knew exactly what I meant.
"I would never," he stared me directly in my eyes; "I love you." He told me softly and it was the most sincere thing I have ever heard in my life.
I knew he loved me and it was like the first time anyone has ever said it to me. I guess for the first time it was really true and someone actually meant it when he said it.
"I love you."
We stared at each other and the moonlight shinned directly on us.
For the first time I was sure of something. This is what love felt like, true love.
We still had to fix everyone else and deal with Russell but as long as we were together I felt secure.
A/N: Remember to get me to my little goal and a special treat will be in the works for everyone if we get to 100 reviews by chapter 5 :D Thanks!
