Sookie was sitting at Applebee's thinking about her life in Mystic Falls Virginia, and her former life in Bon Temps Louisiana. How did she get here? Well a year had past by once again. Except this time she was here in the human world to enjoy it. The problem was, she wasn't always enjoying it. Last year a friend, and she could call him that loosely speaking, was cursed. He was a man she hated, then loved, then hated for a whole year. Then she she transported into a land of deranged fairies that didn't like hybrids. Not all the fairies were bad. One of them named Claude saved her life. He also told her there were many who missed being apart of the human realm and not all of them shared the same views as this Queen Mab she met. The cursed friend's name is Eric Northman. Her ex Bill Compton accused her of having feelings for him once.
She had come home to find Eric the owner of her house. She was quite upset. Then things started to go downhill from there. He gets cursed. She falls in love with him, and he returns the feelings then the curse is broken and she breaks up with him because old feelings for her ex Bill come back out. She rescues both of them from a stake burning, and then chooses to walk away from them. Somewhere in the midst of choosing neither of them she decides she loves Eric more but just can't bring herself to choose him. So he comes in and out of her life, even offering to sell her house back to her since it means so much. She declines and says she was thinking about leaving town anyways and he should keep it. He expresses how much that feels like a stab to the heart and tells her he wants nothing to do with her until she gets her act together. He was a man tired of being strung along and lead on. Eric whose so manipulative and persistent. Eric who always got what he wanted; Was giving up on what he wanted. The out of character gesture made Sookie feel relieved yet heartbroken.
So she drove for miles hoping to get away from vampires, witches, shifters and weres. Turns out the destination she chose had all those too. Except in Mystic falls the vampires could eat, drink coffee, and go out in the sun. Anyone could argue that's what appealed to Sookie the most, when she fell in love with Damon Salvatore. The truth was she had cried almost every night over messing it up with Eric. The truth was when she first met Damon, they hated each other. She couldn't tell you his reason for hating her initially but she could tell you hers. His personality was too much like Eric's. Cockey, manipulative and just a down right asshole sometimes, but underneath all that there was this hidden 'nice guy'. Damon was THAT type of guy. And Eric will always be THAT type of guy. She fought every ounce of attraction she had for Damon because at that point Damon didn't like her. Then all of a sudden Damon fell for her. And all she could think was damn it! She had nowhere to run or hide. She caved to her feelings for Damon and here she was. Happily miserable. She never told Damon the reason he got the girl, was because the original him didn't want her. And she never will. She was sitting at a booth in Applebee's waiting for him to join her for their lunch date. One of the things she enjoyed was being able to have a lunch date with him. Being able to sleep next to him at night and wake up in the morning together, and eat breakfast. It was the closet thing to dating a human. She put on a smile as she saw her dark haired boyfriend walking towards her. She got up to go greet and kiss him.
Damon was the guy where in his arms you felt safe. Maybe it was because he was so muscled and strong or maybe because he was a vampire and pretty much, everyone would feel safe in a vampire's arms. They would either feel safe or extremely terrified. Sookie at the moment was feeling safe. She balanced on her toe tips, reaching Damon's lips, wrapping her arms around his neck. Sookie wasn't planning on hurting Damon. Not they way Elena or Katherine had hurt him. Elena didn't seem to want it but she always put Stefan first, like that night at a ball. Damon had reluctantly talked to Sookie about it but Sookie wanted to know about Damon's past. They were at that ball and finally, Damon had admitted that he had feeling for Elena; that he loved her. Sookie could see pain flaming in Damon's eyes whenever he was telling her that story of his and how had Elena replied to that? "Maybe that's the problem." Damon had imitated Elena not in a sarcastic way but in a painful one that it ended up being anger. No wonder why Damon was never showing his feelings.
Damon put his hands around Sookie's waist, pulling her closer. "Well, hello there, gorgeous" Damon said, having a crooked smirk on his face. That was Damon's typical smile. It seemed sarcastic yet it wasn't. That smile always reminded her of Eric. She hid her pain well or so she always thought. Sometimes she had feelings Damon suspected it. Though Damon shared his pain with her over Elena and Katherine. Sookie only told his brother Stefan of her Eric hurt. Not because she was great friends with Stefan. They got along, but somehow she felt he was partially to blame for Damon's heartbreak. Which seemed unfair of her to say. It was the truth of how she felt though. She told Stefan simply because he was there at the right moment. First person she saw asking to talk. She used the opportunity and made him promise not to tell Damon. If he had told Damon she wouldn't know, Damon never let on he was told. "Hello trouble" she replied. He always enjoyed it when she called him trouble. It became less of a fact about him and more of a pet name.
"You seem to like trouble, Sookie." Damon said laughing a little. It was a laugh that echoed in Sookie's ears, being soft and cold at the same time. "And trouble tends to like you as well." He winked at her side and then jumped in the booth. "So, what's in the menu for today?" Damon despised human food but he knew Sookie always wanted to have breakfast with her vampire lovers. Besides, Sookie was letting Damon feeding on her even though she was extremely careful about it. Damon had never tasted something like that before so he always set up limits to be able to stop. He didn't want to hurt her. From time to time, he was feeding on other humans considering that he needed blood. He surely wasn't going to end up like his brother drinking true blood or eating bunnies. When he was drinking from humans he was drinking because he didn't want to weaken his Sookie. He had come to a sort off arrangement with Sookie. He could feed on whoever he liked as long as the feeding progress didn't involve sex. Sookie had joked once that she would be the one to pick his dinner. Deep down, she was a little jealous though and she didn't like the whole feeding on humans thing as they were just dinner but what else could a vampire do? It's what they are.
Sookie shook her head. "I don't like trouble. I came here to escape it, and it found me again" She laughed. "I like you, no correct that. I love you, but if there was one opportunity to avoid trouble I'd take it." She picked up her menu. She knew he didn't like human food. "Damon you don't have to eat if you don't want to. I suppose asking you to would be like you asking me to drink blood." Though in the past Sookie has drank lovers' blood to heal herself. That was different. It was vampire blood and not for lunch. She'd never drink a human's blood for a late night snack. "I mean I do like it when we eat together. And dating you is the closet thing to dating a human for me" She wasn't sure if he understood. "That sounds bad. Not that I want to date a human. Their minds are awful. I just mean my past boyfriends couldn't do this. come out during the day and meet me for lunch. A simple human thing to do. I kind of like it" She sighed. "It's different and nice"
"Oh, come on now. I don't mind eating human food as long as you let me feed on humans instead of bunnies," he said like it was the most natural thing in the world because to him it was. The waitress soon enough came and Damon ordered a coke and a burger. On the other hand, Sookie ordered salad and cold-iced tea. "Well, well, well." Damon muttered looking out of the window, caressing the old wooden table with his fingers, "I wish you had the day off today," he admitted but then again he had some business to do too. Yet, he always craved some time with Sookie. The waitress came back with the burger, the cold iced tea, the coke and the salad "What time is your shift anyway?" Damon asked, ignoring the waitress as she put the coke in front of Damon. He had seen her staring at him but he didn't care. He was used to human beings staring at the Salvatore brothers but both of them were taken and in love.
Sookie was about to reply when her phone went off. She looked down and it was Matt from work texting her asking her to hurry up and be on time. Some waitress was freaking out because Sookie is always late and it was already cutting it close. Even though they were slow and it shouldn't matter, and Robert the owner was not in a good mood. "Oh shit. Well to answer your question I should be there well now. If I don't leave soon I'll be late, and apparently a waitress is having a nervous breakdown and Robert is in a bad mood" She asked for a box for her salad. She intended to eat it later. She sighed. "Well looks like your off the hook on eating that" she told him. She didn't expect him to bring it home. That was the thing about life in Virginia. Hers hadn't changed much. She was a waitress at the local bar and Grill, dated a vampire, and was always calling out or running late because of that vampire.
"Nah, I think I will survive without that burger." He stated, trying not to show his dislike towards that piece of meat. "I will give you a ride home, then. Robert should chill out otherwise I will make him to." He said, sounding more like a threat. "Come on, let's go." He got up from the booth, grabbing his car keys. "Will you at least, come over my house when your shift is done? Wait, no. I will come and pick you up from there; if you don't want to come I will kidnap you." He chuckled and shrugged, "either way, it's like you are avoiding spending time at my house. No wonder why you do it, my brother annoys you." He rolled his eyes. "Oh no, wait, that's me. I am the one who is annoyed by his beloved brother." He sounded too sarcastic but lately, Stefan was getting on Damon's nerves. Of course, Stefan always got on Damon nerves in some way. He always found a way to drive him insane.
Sookie rolled her eyes. "You probably shouldn't threaten my boss. he already can't stand you because everytime I am late it's because of you." Not that Damon would care if a human hated him. She got up from the booth as well. "The reason I avoid your house is because he annoys you. I am not going to play babysitter" She was thinking of Jason. She missed him. "At least you get to see your brother. Mine rarely calls anymore. And when he does he begs me to come home" She sighed. "He's the only family I have left and he can't even visit Virginia once in awhile" Then she thought how that was a two way street. "Then again I could visit him, but Robert isn't like Sam. I already took time off recently" She walked out to his car. "What about my car. It needs to get to my house. I got to drive to work."
"We have Elena to play the babysitter." Damon said soullessly, his tone as cold as ice. She had hurt his feelings and Damon was not tolerating. He still cared about her but it wasn't like he was going to sacrifice himself for her. His brother could do that and even if he did, Damon would eventually feel bad so he would try to save him. "I'm sorry," Damon told her, softer this time, caressing Sookie's soft as feather and as warm as sun cheek. Damon wasn't someone who would show his feelings easily. After all, he was deeply close to himself but with Sookie, he couldn't help it but show his true intentions and feelings. Damon made a grimace, "right, the car, I forgot about it." He admitted, "Then, you can go with your car but I will kidnap you anyway when you get off." He winked, smiling faintly.
His hesitation reminded her of Eric. Exactly alike. Guarded, hates feelings, but somehow manage to show them with me. Though Damon's reasonings aren't the same as Eric's. Damon has been crushed by two women that look exactly alike. He's probably more scared to be more human than anything. Eric well he just likes being Mr. Ruthless and thinks vampires are better than humans. God forbid he let go of some of that human resentment and show love for one. She got out of her thoughts she didn't need another random tear fest in front of Damon. She didn't want to explain it. She grabbed her car keys. "Okay you can kidnap me if trouble doesn't find me" she promised. She kissed his cheek and left the waitress a tip. Then she started to walk out the door.
Damon gazed in Sookie's eyes, realizing that a liquid was appearing upon her eyes. Tears. Damon didn't like tears. He considered them as a weakness and he always hated being weak. Sookie was hiding something from Damon. He didn't like that. He seriously didn't. A wave of rage ran through the place. It was Damon's rage but he didn't show it.
The moment Sookie walked out the door, Damon ran behind her, grabbing her from her wrist. "It's a shame because I am trouble so I will always find you." He said, meaning every single word that escaped his mouth. "But why are you doing this? Why every time you feel like crying? I don't like tears, Sookie and I must confess that I feel like you are hiding something from me. Something important." He emphasized important.
She knew her trying to stop said tears would be a failure. One fell anyways. She looked at him. "Does it really matter. I had old boyfriends too you know. It's not like Katherine and Elena are the only ones who like to hurt you know." She removed her wrist from his hand. "Your personality reminds me of one of them. And sometimes I admit I wonder if that's why I date you. I didn't tell you that because that sounds like an awful thing to say. It is an awful thing to say. Though I do love you so that can't be the sole reason I am with you. But you're exactly like him. Well personality wise. You don't look like him. He's a blonde."
He looked at her. "That's it? I told you about Katherine and Elena. Why be afraid of telling me that. I don't take offense that I remind you of an ex boyfriend. Nor do I take it the way you think I would. I don't think that's the sole reason. I just sounded bitter to you about Elena and Stefan. So what is a tear over your ex in front of me?" Sookie shrugged. "I guess a human man would. I don't really know why I didn't tell you. Most humans don't talk about exes to the new significant other. In fact I found it a little surprising I didn't mind you talking about Elena or Katherine. Or any other girl you were with."
Damon nodded. "Okay I could see that, but you can talk to me about your exes. It won't change the fact that I got you and they didn't" he said. His tone reaching that cockey one he like to have. Another moment where she saw Eric in him. This time instead of tears she just shook her head. "Just like him" Damon smiled. "I am going to have to meet this Eric" Sookie didn't like that idea. "No you're not! Besides I tried calling him once as a 'friend' and he hung up on me" Damon laughed. "You must have done something quite awful to him" Sookie frowned. "I suppose I did, but don't rub it in." Damon got serious. "I am sorry. I am not used to you being the one messing up."
Sookie understood. "Well neither am I. So let's hope I don't do it again." Damon smiled. "I don't think you will. You're not like Katherine or Elena" Sookie enjoyed his compliments. "Well thank you but I got to get home" Damon saw the time. "Oh right before I don't have a girlfriend because Robert killed her." She nodded. "Exactly!" He kissed her quickly and let her drive off. Once she got to the house she heard someone call Sookie. I don't have time for this she thought.
"Wait!" The woman shouted from across the woods. "Sookie!" She yelled once more, hoping that Sookie would face her. It was strange, Past Sookie wasn't used to calling her name but this time she was calling her future self. The voice sounds familiar. Future Sookie thought as she turned to look who was calling her. In her amazement, she realized that the woman who had just called her name looked just like her. I am starting to wonder if I have a doppelganger too. That would be incredibly creepy. Let's hope she's no Katherine.
Sookie had heard all about Elena and Katherine through the Salvatore brothers. The year that she's known them she's been told stories that were far more bizarre than any story she could tell. In fact one day Stefan and she had a conversation that had the most fucked up stories contest. Sookie barely won but that was only because she had to deal with an amnesiac vampire last year, and a necromancer who had a revenge plot from hell. She still couldn't believe it had been a year. Yet, Stefan was the only one who was willing to tell her stories. Damon most of the time refused to do so. Fucking secretive vampires.
Finally she found the courage and turned to the woman and spoke. "I don't know who you are, and it's incredibly weird to see my twin practically standing in front of me, but I got to get going. If you really need me you need to wait for me to get ready for work, and then come with me. Otherwise my time will have to wait until I get off around 9:00 PM." She said speaking like a robot and really fast. That's what Sookie did when she was nervous. She was either speaking really fast or she was having a nervous smile on her face.
On the other hand, Past Sookie felt like her jaw was going to fall off her face. Yes, that certainly was Sookie but the future Sookie was an improved version of what Past Sookie was now. She listened to what the future Sookie had to say (who, had by the way acted really calm).
Past Sookie had a million questions to make but instead she just nodded at Sookie, trying to figure out a way to explain her what had just happened. I time traveled because I needed a piece of advice. I wanted to see what would happen in the future. So here I am and I got nothing but two hours to talk to you. Our great-grandfather helped me. Sookie thought in her mind but then she realized that future or non future, the future Sookie was able to read minds as well.
Past Sookie truly hoped she had put her mental guard on. She was feeling so weird in that place and the weirdest part was that she could feel what the Future Sookie was feeling. The future Sookie was radiating happiness in general. Yet, she could feel the hesitation and the mixed feelings that they both had. Past Sookie noticed that the house was actually looking like Gran's but the roof was different. It was surrounded by flowers and woods. That house looked kind of isolated from the town as well just like the one in Bon Temps.
Past Sookie sighed heavily, looking around the place, trying to absorb the place. The woods had a deeper green, the birds didn't twitter as much as in Bon Temps but it still was nice. Sookie relaxed and pulled her guard down since there were no other people there. Little did she know because the future Sookie was thinking about two girls. Katherine and Elena that looked like twins but they weren't. They were…doppelgangers? "I will wait," Sookie said simply, unable to control her facial expressions on her face. The woman got inside the house and Past Sookie took a seat on the porch back to absorbing things, trying to figure out where she was.
I wonder what I am doing here, what she is doing here. What about Bill and Eric? I'm damn sure they would never leave from where they live. Eric is a sheriff and Bill is now a king. Of course, it made sense to Sookie that herself eventually left from Bon Temps. She wouldn't be able to handle it either way but she just couldn't leave from there.
Sookie took out her phone and rushed into the house, leaving the mysterious woman out. She had no idea if the girl followed or not. All she knew was her job seemed to be hanging by a thread and that if her grandmother was still alive would be surprised by Sookie's behavior because that was not proper. Sookie noticed that she was constantly late or calling out because of a handsome vampire.
Troubled still followed her, and though she left Bon Temps to escape all that, she's now come to realize she welcomes it. It makes her feel at home, but at the same time it made her miss home. Sometimes she'd randomly cry before going into work. It was her ritual to be reminded of how she still had a similar routine here and be happy about it for a split second. Then be sad about it because she was in love, but couldn't share all this with her first true love (s).
She was reminded everyday of how she screwed it up, with both Eric and Bill. The difference is Bill would probably still talk to her if she called. Sookie still remembered the day she called Eric and he hung up on her. Stefan has heard her pain over it, but keeps his promise not to tell his brother.
With shaky fingers, Sookie dialed Mystic Grill's number. Robert was in a happy mood, she could tell. "You should be glad I am in a good mood Miss Stackhouse" he teased. Sookie smiled. "I am, I am trouble I know. My old boss could tell you that. But I am reliable when you really need me. Just can't promise I will always be right on time." Robert laughed. "This I know and I have talked to Sam. I got curious and decided to call him the other day." Oh is that why you're nicer to me tonight?" They continued to have a nice conversation and he finally said "Don't worry about being late. We're slow here anyways. Just tell that trouble maker boyfriend of yours you need to be on time more." Sookie promised she'd tell Damon.
Meanwhile, while Sookie was talking on the phone with Robert, Past Sookie decided to go for a walk in the woods. It wasn't like she would be seen by anyone since she was in the middle of nowhere. She got up from the porch and walked towards the woods, exploring it. The gate of membrane was still there, still invisible yet Sookie could almost see it. She knelt down, cutting some grass and sending it into the gate that radiated some kind of faintly shimmering aura. She looked down at the necklace, astonished by the way the golden sand was going down the hourglass. She had plenty time in her hands but she certainly couldn't wait until Sookie got off work. She had no idea what would happen if she didn't go back to Bon Temps on time. Most likely, the gate would close and what? She would stay trapped in there for her rest of her life? Nah, I will look at it every five seconds. I know, time flies but I won't lose the track of time and I will be there on time.
When Sookie got off the phone, the Past Sookie was still in the woods but of course, future Sookie wasn't aware of that. She pulled over her blue Mystic Grill t-shirt, put on some jeans and then grabbed her apron. It was a totally different uniform than Merlotte's. She had to get used to wearing Jeans. She grabbed her car keys and looked around for the woman. "If you're coming with you better now" she shouted to the air.
While Past Sookie was still in the woods, out of nowhere, she heard another female voice –that sounded familiar to her- saying: "If you are coming, you better now." Oh shit! She is leaving! Past Sookie thought, trying not to panic but it was hard not to. She got up and almost ran back to her future self. Some branches scratched Sookie's feet to the point, she felt like they were bleeding. Fuck, fuckity, fuck. Thank god, Sookie hadn't gone too deep in the woods otherwise she would be lost by now. Sun was blinding her but she just had to keep running. The woods were covered in some kind of mold, she could smell it in the air and some dry leaves made a kind of annoying sound as Sookie was stepping on them.
"Wait," Past Sookie said, out of breath as she got out from the woods, looking for her . It was one of her happiest moment in her life. The oxygen feeling in her lungs, the soft breeze that was in the air. "I can't come with you," Sookie explained to herself. "Not now at least. I'm from the…past. Well, it's present for me but past for you." She continued, feeling like that none of her words actually made sense. In fact, nothing made sense anymore. "I have only got two hours and hell, you have no idea what I have been through the last twenty-four hours. Where are we anyway?" She asked, looking around.
Sookie blinked as her past self presented herself to well her. I suppose stranger things have happened. Why would she want to come looking for me. So she could learn not to fuck it up with Eric? Sookie looked at herself. "We're in Mystic Falls Virginia, and you moved here to escape the insanity that was supernatural life and heartbreak .Instead you discovered vampires, werewolves, demons and witches still live here too." Future Sookie sighed. "Then you fell in love with a vampire named Damon who reminded you of Eric Northman. This vampire can eat, drink coffee and go out in the sun. You haven't asked if he can have kids yet, but that's a topic you don't approach with Damon Salvatore" It was weird talking to herself, but obviously "present/past" Sookie needed some answers.
"I didn't fuck it up with Eric!" Sookie said intensively, carried away by the emotion as she stabbed with force her foot on the ground, crossing her arms over her chest. Maybe that's what she wanted to believe after all. "Maybe…just a little." Sookie admitted after a moment of consideration. She took a deep breath, unwrapping the arms, letting them fall to her sides, calming. "But the main reason I came to visit you was because I want a piece of advice and I want you to help me…" Okay now how am I going to tell her that? She thought, trying to find a way to explain. Sookie was sure that the future Sookie had broken the bond because she looked so over Eric and Bill. "…to break the bond." Sookie finished her sentence, moving her glance down to her feet, running her fingers through her golden hair. Sookie stood still absorbing what future Sookie had just told her.
"We can talk about it on our way to work." She explained, adding "You can still come with me. I am running super late to work. Just leave when the two hours are up." she told herself. Sookie got a 30 minute break. "I do have a break to which another server takes my tables until I get back on. 30 minutes. So we can talk then, and or if it gets really slow. Then you can go before the 2 hours is up" Sookie shrugged. "If you still need answers I think coming to the future you isn't going to help much. All I can say is I bet you're happier than I am."
Past Sookie was shaken off when her future self mentioned work. "Oh, I am so sorry!" she apologized and nodded, "alright, agreed. I think I can do that and not lose track of time." Sookie laughed sarcastically, "Are you kidding me?" She asked, lifting her eyebrow, putting her hand on her hip. "You have found a vampire that apparently cares about you and can go out to the sun. I would give whatever it took to make Eric and Bill walk out in the sun." She let a sigh, "let me rephrase that. I would pick one of them because both can be a pain in the ass but I'm sure you know that from personal experience of you." She said smiling friendly.
Sookie at her past self. "You wouldn't let them drain you dry for them to walk in the sun. I'll tell you that much" She got into the car and waited for herself to follow. They finally made it to the Mystic Grill, and the new server who was having a mental breakdown finally stopped. Robert didn't smile once at her. Matt had a look of relief on his face. The bus boy was always so sweet Sookie thought. "Well I am here and ready to take tables." Sookie did her usual job. Her past self stayed away like she promised. Only watching and thinking My life is exactly the same here. What could I possibly learn from this world. That I moved and NOTHING changed except my boyfriend. Who was just another version of Eric?okay one difference. This Damon can go out during the day and eat. But I pretty much settled for my life in Bon Temps. So the point of me leaving to escape everything well wasn't served. So now I learned how I end up, but that still doesn't help me with my problem.
The thirty minute break came and Sookie gave Sookie the time she promised. As they were talking Damon came in to visit. It was an odd introduction. His face looked scared. "Damon she's not my doppleganger or a vampire" Damon's expression showed relief. "So a twin I don't know about?" Sookie shook her head. "This might sound crazy but maybe she can explain why she's here." Past sookie seemed terrifed but finally repeated everything she told future Sookie. Damon didn't seem phased or weirded out. "Everything's possible and I don't think you two are crazy." So he believed her. There was a bit of a pause. "So could you bring Eric here?" Future sookie sighed. "I told you it'd be a bad idea to meet him" Damon shook his head. "no no. I mean past Eric. The one she's with or isn't with or whatever.." He said pointing to their guest. Sookie's eyes let up. "Oh well I only have two hours but I could go back now and ask my great great grandfather if I could return with Eric" Future Sookie gave a tiny smile. That just sounds like bad news. why if Damon didn't care about my exes would he insist in meeting Eric from the past. Damon gave a huge grin. "That sounds wonderful Sookie." And with that present/past Sookie took off before her two hours were up. She appeared in her woods again and there stood Niall waiting for her.
"If I wanted to, could I go back to the future again?" Niall eyed her. "Technically if you needed to talk more with your future self I could start the whole process over again yes." Sookie smiled. "Good because my future boyfriend Damon would like to met Eric." Niall grew quiet. The silence stood there for a moment or too. "You didn't listen to me did you? I told you if you got too far into the past you could affect things." Sookie was puzzled. "But I am going to the future not the past." Niall sighed. "This is true, but you're bringing future Sookie's past to HER. What do you think will happen if future Eric meets YOUR Eric?" Sookie shrugged. "Future Eric isn't living in the same town as my future self even." Niall knew this was still going over her head. "That won't stop him from encountering himself. You don't know what will happen in the future until you go back." Sookie shrugged . "Exactly what's the harm in finding out?" Niall tried to be patient with her. "Eric now see's you differently than Eric in the future. Otherwise your future self would be with him. If they meet there's a good chance they won't like what they see in the mirror. Metaphoratically speaking." Sookie smiled "I'm willing to take that chance. If you let me and I convince Eric to go with me." Niall gave up. "Okay this time around you'll have three hours. And don't think you couldn't cause damage in three hours. Be very careful. You're also messing with Damon's life by bringing Eric to him." Sookie gave him a hug. "Thank you!" Niall stood there as Sookie took off to find Eric. Let her do this. She'll learn a lesson and she'll have to clean it all up on her own. I won't help her out of it.
