"Fangtasia?" Kaeson asked as she looked over at Sookie in the driver's seat.
"Yeah, just for a bit and then we can catch a movie or something." Sookie replied as she parked her car.
Kaeson rolled her eyes as they got out of the car and asked:
"What type of business do you have at a vampire bar when it isn't even open yet?"
"Vampire business, of course." Sookie said as they walked in.
"Of course I couldn't have a simple, non-supernatural, bar free weekend." Kaeson mumbled under her breath as she looked around at the very tastefully designed bar. The main colors where red and black and the main fabric was leather. There were couches sat about and at one end of the bar there was a throne type chair seated to overlook the whole bar. Kaeson walked over to the throne to get a closer look at it.
"I wouldn't go near that if I were you, Kae. Eric!" Sookie yelled as she walked over to the bar and looked back to the offices.
"Why not?" Kaeson asked as she bent down to inspect the carving on the arm rests and then glanced over to where Sookie was standing.
With speed only vampires possess, a man appeared next to Sookie from the back office. He was tall, blonde, blue-eyed, dressed in all black and extremely handsome. His hair was short and combed back. His facial features where sharp, but attractive none the less. His skin was pale and looked extremely soft. He had ropes of muscle over his arms which seemed to tense up as he looked at Sookie. Kaeson caught herself studying him more than she should have been and quickly averted her eyes back to the throne.
"How can I be of service Ms. Stackhouse?" The man asked silkily, eyeing Sookie as if she was some type of food. Then again he was a vampire so anything with a pulse was counted as prey.
"Eric, I need to talk to you."
"Is that not always the case, Sookie?"
"First though, I'd like you to meet Kaeson." Sookie said as she motioned over to where Kaeson was studying the throne's carving and craftsmanship.
Eric's gaze followed Sookie's gesture and fell on Kaeson. When Kaeson saw Eric look over at her and some unknown emotion cross his face, she quickly stepped back from the seat and sat on the floor, green eyes wide.
"Sorry!" Kaeson exclaimed, quickly covered her mouth and looked at Eric nervously.
Eric's lips curved into a half smile and let out a soft chuckle as he walked toward Kaeson.
"Eric won't hurt you, will you Eric?" Sookie replied reading Kaeson's fearful thoughts.
"Of course not." He replied as he stretched out a hand to Kaeson.
Kaeson reluctantly took his hand and he pulled her up in one swift effortless motion.
"You are lucky I'm in a good mood today, any other time you would have been dead." Eric said a bit amused as he released her.
"Thank you for sparing me. I didn't know-"
"What did you say your name was?"
"Kaeson Parker."
"Eric Northman. What did you need to talk to me about, Sookie?" He asked as he turned back toward her.
"We need to talk in private about it."
"No problem, we'll go to my office."
"I can wait out in the car." Kaeson piped up timidly.
"No, make yourself comfortable in here. However, do not touch the throne." Eric said leading Sookie to the back.
"Yes sir, and thank you." Kaeson replied as she looked down at her feet.
