SOOKIE

Eric helped me to the car.

I was struggling. I hated it. I really did.

His arms supporting my waist in case my frail, weak, and illness ridden body was going to collapse at any moment. I did everything in my life to live a happy and healthy life so why was I so different?

Normally I wouldn't care for the help and would be shouting at him to release his hold on me - I was thankful for it however, "Are you alright Sookie?" I could hear the general concern within Eric's voice. I wasn't shocked anymore about the obvious caring nature the 1,000 year vampire had.

I looked up to him," I'm..." I wanted to say that I was fine but seeing how I asked Eric to make me vampire lying probably wasn't for the best, "my legs are wobbly. It seems like my legs can't support my weight anymore. Although I'm determined to make it to the car. "

I knew he was worried.

I was worried for myself and I just didn't want to cause him any further worry, but it was a truth I knew I couldn't keep. He helped me to get settled in the seat of his sleek red corvette. I wasn't surprised at the choice of car. It totally spoke Eric.

"I am curious. What kind of illness can you possibly have? With your permission I would love to call in one of my own. She's a specialist in supernatural terms. She might know what illness you have. "

It wouldn't hurt, could it? I thought inwardly I had seen many doctors. Although the doctors i had visited only knew the modern types of medicine not supernatural medicine. I had already accepted that her illness wasn't curable. But that little spark of hope ignited once again.

"I guess it can't hurt to get some kind of closure."

Eric whipped out his phone the same time he started the car and proceeded to drive away from the bar establishment of his and on to the busy intersection.

"Dr. Ludwig it's Mr. Northman. I require your presence tonight. " Eric doesn't speak but I could hear the feminine voice on the other end.

She didn't sound too happy at being bothered much less by a vampire.

"My place. We'll be there shortly. " Eric closed his phone. "Dr. Ludwig is a specialist in the supernatural area. And she also values our blood and its unique healing abilities. At least this way by the end of the night we'll both know what kind of illness you have. However if there's a way to cure it by any other supernatural means then I'll do it. I assume you'd want to stay human if there was such a chance?"

I didn't answer him back for the most of remaining car ride. I had given myself over to death. I had accepted my illness as in-curable. That little hope inside me was slowly getting dimmer by each second that passed.

The first thing I saw when we reached our destination was all the land he seemed to have. It was quite beautiful really. I could only imagine what it would be like during the sunlight hours of the day. Wanting nothing more then to lay out in the sun and soak up the heat. The thought could only be that a thought and nothing more.

I was helped out of the car. Eric held me close to his chest and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt content. I could feel the endings of his long hair graze my neck. I liked him with long hair - it was a random thought yes, but it helped me to relax.

Once Eric parked he wrapped me in his arms and had carried me pass the front door and pass the main foyer and onto a comfortable black leather couch. "Eric thank you." Eric nodded when a knock on the door sounded. The doctor was here.

I watched as Eric sped to the door with vamp speed opening it to reveal a small and frail looking women - but the words coming out from her mouth told me that this women wasn't quite so frail to begin with. It almost reminded myself of how I was and how if this decease wasn't in me that I would have that sort of resilience.

Dr. Ludwig made her way to me, "hello I'm Dr. Ludwig. From what your vampire has given me - your ill from a decease that other doctors couldn't diagnose. I'm skilled at what I do - I'm going to take some blood. " she watched as she produced a needle and stuck it into her arm pulling blood out and into the little container. "Can you really find out what's wrong with me?"

"I can try my best. " she answers. "The results will take a day. So I'll give you a call in the morning. "

"That's it?"

"Northmen you owe me. "

"Always a pleasure. "

"Fuck off. "

"Eric do you think she'll know?"

"I have known Ludwig for a long time and she hasn't once let me down. She is skilled so I do think she can uncover what is ailing you. " with reassuring words from the Viking I let out a sigh which made me wince and I couldn't hide it from him.

"But I do know Sookie is that you're running out of time. Soon we will have to turn you if Dr. Ludwig can't find a cure. "

"I know. And I will be ready. "
