Chapter 12

I began my week long journey towards Nome Alaska. Why Felipe put him here is beyond me, maybe he figured no one would find him here. The love of my life was locked away in a silver fortress with a plate over his mouth so he can't feed. He's been there almost seven years. I'm almost afraid to find out what is left of my former lover.

I'm part vampire now yet I have no urge to feed. I can still feel my heart beat which has to mean I'm still alive, right? The first time I saw my reflection in the mirror I was mesmerized. I looked like a fairy well except with fangs. Mine never retracted but they didn't stick out like Eric's did, they were more subtle. I still ate food. Silver, sunlight, lemons didn't bother me. I was fast, quiet and noticed that my skin was hard more like marble.

I noticed that my libido was rather high, I think I'd even put Eric to shame. I found I had to bring myself to release quite a few times to satisfy my hunger. What I wanted was Eric

I was a few hours away from Eric when Niall popped into the car. He motioned to me to pull over and I did. He cut his arm and I had it in my mouth in seconds. He let me drink for abit and then he told me to stop.

"You'll need that when you reach him and here. Take this potion and make him drink it and then feed him. His healing should only take minutes. When he's done drinking you take this. It's my blood and will make you strong. I'm sealing the portal. I'll miss you Sookie. Remember what I taught you, good luck" he said and kissed my forehead. POP he was gone and I was left looking at the vials he gave me.

I got back on the road and soon the caves came into view. I got out of the car and started searching for a way inside. I couldn't find a crack or a door, nothing to let me inside. I was getting frustrated and angry. I felt the wind start to whip around and I ignored it. I thought of Eric alone and scared. Eric Eric Eric. One minute I was out in the cold, next I was inside a room. Actually it was more like a box. I had no problem seeing in the dark and I searched out Eric.

I spotted him lying on a mattress in the corner of this box. His back was to me but from what I could see he was skin and bones. I went over to him and rolled him over, that earned a quiet moan. When I looked at his face I wanted to rip out Felipe's eyes and feed them to him while ripping him apart. I was getting excited by that thought but I pushed that aside and concentrated on Eric. His eyes were sunk in and shrivelled up. His face was nothing but bones and brittle skin and right over his mouth was a plate. Not knowing how to get it off I ripped his bottom jaw off and his upper lip came with the plate.

Once the plate was off I dumped the potion down his throat and then ripped my wrist open and let the blood pour down his throat. I did this until I felt woozy and then I drank the potion that was mine. I sat back and waited. I knew that I had been crying for what Eric had to endure and for what I had to do to save him. It was like magic. I watched as his body filled back out and his jaw regrew. Within minutes he was whole again and I waited for him to open his eyes. I sat there thinking and figured out why Eric never took off the plate. The piece against his skin was steel but the part facing out was silver, pure silver.

When his eyes did open it was like he didn't know who I was. He got this crazed look in his eyes and hissed at me. Before I realized what happened he had me pinned to my back and his teeth inches from my face.

"Eric, baby it's me, Sookie. Please baby listen to me. I know I look different but it's me" I pleaded with him. If he didn't stop I might have to ki;; him and that thought almost broke me,

He looked at me like he was studying me. The look never changed and I knew he was going to kill me. I felt tears sting my eyes as I began to cry. He bent down to taste them. I closed my eyes to the feeling of his tongue licking up my blood. I tensed ready to kill the one I came to save. As he leaned down to my neck I brought my hands up between us ready to punch through his chest and rip out his heart, my heart. I felt the ghost of breath and….
