Chapter 3
As the Viking summoned us. I had the feeling that I wasn't scared. Was it because that I knew deep inside that some part of me knew that I could trust him. He looked so familiar like someone from a distant memory that was rolling itself deep in my most inner thoughts. As we made improvement towards the throne my heart was beating off rhythm. I guess they could hear that. I mean I was only here to see if anybody would know who sat my brother up for that damn killing.
As I looked around I could tell that Bill was correct. I do look enticing for other vampires. As I see their stares gazing up on me as if they had some sort of claim upon me. I could tell you that was not the case right now.
" Hello, Bill it's been to long." said the Viking as he laid back on the throne.
"Yes, it has. As you can see I've been mainstreaming."
"I see that, and what is your delectable girls name?" He inquired.
"Sookie. Ms. Sookie Stackhouse". She stated.
At that the Viking rose from the throne and was mere centimeters away from Sookie. As he grazed his fingers upon her face. Making Sookie cower away.
Did she not remember him? Did he not give her, her fist kiss? Did he not say that he would miss her as much as she would miss him. How many nights has it been since he could breathe to think on what she would be? Who she would be?
He stayed there frozen the first time since that day many years ago.
Flashback
As Eric sat there eating his dinner by his mother's side. He eyed the girl . The servant girl who always caught his eye. The one person that could take his anger away. As he drifted away from his mother to follow the girl. The girl sat there on a pile of hay. Awaiting for the chance she could feel something. Something other then the feeling of pity. A feeling of happiness. As Eric closed the space between them. He could see the emotion that he could give her. How fun this all was. Forgetting the one that he wanted most.
When suddenly a yell could be heard no matter how far away he could have been. As he walked out of the room towards the front of the palace (?) he could see an assortment of wolves with a figure at the end of the doorway. He laid his eyes upon his dead mother as he rushed towards his father who was still minimally breathing.
As his father gave him his crown. Breathing his last words.
"Revenge. Avenge me my son. You are a Viking. A Viking king. You don't ever back down to anyone. Do you understand?"
"I do" as he cried until there was nothing. Nothing but a single feeling of determination to kill the one person who did this.
Russell Edging ton.
End Flashback
As the Viking started to come back. Bill was hovering over Sookie.
As if I would harm her. But in her eyes I saw fear. Fear not for me but what she would face if she stayed here. As she looked up at me I could see that she knew who I was, but she was somehow not able to speak. Did she truly forget about me? Which left me pondering was she going to tell me, or did we have to play tag to remember?
