I managed to tilt my head to the side in time to see Eric leaning by my side and a human girl taking the silver off me. "Here." Eric said and put a hand under my head and lifted it up and then he put a bottle of Trueblood to my lips and I took a few sips and then he moved the bottle away and meet my eyes.

"Eric she need's a proper feed." Said that human female, her long black hair was tied back in a long plait and she had a pale complexion and green eyes.

"Who is willing Sookie?" he asked the blonde girl that walked up.

"Idiots, that is who is willing. Most of them are weak as it is." Sookie said meeting my eyes and smiling.

"Michelle?" another vampire came forward and bowed in front of him, I recognised her as one of the dancers.

"Yes Eric?"

"I'm going to need you to glamour the human's make them leave."

"Yes Boss." She turned to all the humans with a grin.

"Eric?" I crackled.

"Shhh, don't talk, not yet, you need all the energy." He hushed.

"For what?" I crackled again.

He moved his arm underneath me and then silently counted to three and lifted. I let out a short stifled cry and he carried me like cradling a baby in his arms back into the bar.

"For that." He muttered.

He began walking with me in his arms, Sookie and that other human girl right behind him. "Eric she doesn't look too good." Said the human.

I heard him hiss. And the human didn't speak up again. He took me back into the bar and sat me in the corner of one of the booths. He disappeared leaving me with Sookie and the human. Sookie was just looking at the girl with an angry expression.

"If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't think at all." She told the human.

"I can't help it, she's so…"

"So what?" I croaked.

She looked at me and frowned. "So, disgusting. She's a vermin." The human spat.

I lifted a hand and locked eyes with her and she moved forward enough that I leant forward with difficulty and was able to bite into her neck in a few seconds. She stiffened in shock as I let the glamour slip and enjoyed the sensation of the rich fresh blood. I didn't take enough to kill her, just enough to make her unconscious. I released her and my teeth retracted and she fell to the ground. I could feel my skin healing, the burning stopping. There was a whirl of unnatural air and Eric appeared behind Sookie.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Stupid human." I muttered.

Eric took a look at the human at his feet and nudged her with his foot. He moved to sit next to me and held my chin in his fingers. "Hmm, you need more." He stated, his eyes look troubled.

"Eric why not let her bite you, your blood will be more useful now, and a human's blood would just be a feeding session." Sookie said.

"Anna." He said softly.

"No."

I've only had vampire blood once, and I swore I would never again. The last time, a few centuries ago, when I was turned I had taken a vampire's blood that my creator had said needed to be punished, I had gone pretty weird. This is why I frighten some vampires. The blood I had taken from that vampire had made me, well, go mad per say. I went on a killing spree and killed my creator and his little 'clan' that he had created, I had witnesses of my few murders and those people say that they hadn't seen anything like that before, and wished that they hadn't. it took hours for the blood to stop me going mad, it was a hours on end that I made more kills. The thing that stopped me was the sun, the first feeling of the stinting sun. I had killed three humans and at least six or seven vampires, I wasn't punished, I was just exiled from the city.

I shook my head furiously, it just made me dizzy. Eric tightened his hold on my chin. "Anna, you need to hea-"

"No!" I said rather angrily.

Eric wasn't impressed. "That is in the past Anastasia."

"I do not care." My voice was thickened with an English accent.

Eric just smiled at the accent. "My dear you need stronger blood and at this very moment I am the oldest vampire in this bar."

"No, no, no." It seemed like a never ending argument.

"Listen to me; I can help you, if it goes that way."

"No!"

"Is that always going to be your answer?"

I stuck my tongue out at him.

"I can help, Anna, please, we only have a few hours till dawn."

I sighed and he took that as a sign. He shrugged off his leather jacket and then looked at Sookie. "I'll go, but Eric call me first thing alright? I want to know."

She nodded and Eric turned back to me, ignoring the fact that Sookie was leaving and the human was still unconscious on the ground.

"If we do this quickly, it'll be over so much faster Anna."

"I'm not sure anymore."

"You were never sure in the first place An."

I hung my head, I still felt ever so weak. As if the human's blood was fading and the pain was returning. "Eric what if-"

"An, don't worry about if's or buts'. I'm the sheriff now do as I say and for god sake bite me and drink."

The way he had said it was kind of hot, I felt like slapping myself after that quick thought. I opened my mouth a little letting my fangs come down and then I struck with efficiency and quickness. He shuddered but then soon relaxed against the booth's seat and wrapped one arm around my waist as I drank.

"Take it easy Anna my dear, it will all be alright." He said.

As I let his blood slide along the tip of my tongue I didn't feel as if I was going mad, but as if I was letting him in. a deep sigh came from him and his arm tightened around me. After a minute I retracted my fangs and leant against him. I could feel his chin on the top of my head.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

"Funny." I replied.

I was feeling something that I wasn't feeling, it took me a few seconds to realize that it wasn't my feelings of bliss and happiness, it was Eric's.
