A/N: Hey guys thanks so much for the reviews. As some of you may know, I will be taking this story into a full story. This means that even after Sunday's episode this story will continue. I hope you guys stick with me through the story. I am not sure how many chapters it will be, but it will be the things I want Sookie, and all the other characters to do. If you guys would take the time to review, it would make me feel great and inspire me to continue the story. Thanks! Now on with the action.
Disclaimer:I do not own any of the characters in this story; they all belong to Charlaine Harris, Alan Ball, and HBO.
"Who are you", Eric asked, as he sprang up and tried to move in front of me.
"Enough with the charade, you know who I am", Bill growled, and looked over to me, "you fell for his tricks", I pushed Eric out of my way, and walked up to Bill.
"Oh fuck you, I already considered that, and it's not true, Eric really was cursed, I've seen it myself", Bill gave a confused glance at me, and then looked over to Eric, and for a second I swore I saw a slight smile on Bills face before it turned serious again.
"How did you see it", I shrugged.
"Read someone's mind", Bill nodded.
"It is not safe for you here, he could lose control at any second", thank you captain obvious.
"And you couldn't", he became tense.
"Either way, he's coming with me", what did that mean.
"What", Bill walked over to Eric and tried to grab him, but Eric pushed him back, and grabbed his throat.
"I am your king, you will stand down, now", Bill yelled. Eric's eyes widened, and released Bill, "I have a warrant for his arrest, for unruly behavior. I am doing this for the better good", all of a sudden guards came into the room, and pointed a gun at Eric and myself.
"Bill", Eric looked over to me.
"Will she be hurt", Bill looked taken back by the question.
"Of course not, I would never hurt her", Eric nodded.
"Thank you", he let the guards take him, and I was shocked, he was really gunna go. This couldn't happen.
"Bill, let him go, if you do this", he turned to me.
"I am king, Sookie, and I make the decisions here, not you", he turned to leave but stopped, "this is for your own good, I am sorry", he left, and the guards kept their watch on me.
"Stand down, the king has ordered us to keep an eye on you", one of the men said.
"You do not want to make me angry", I said as I got closer to the man.
"Are you stupid, I said stand down, bitch", I have had it. I brought my hand up and the man went flying back, and I saw that I had the glow coming from my hand. The guards looked stunned, and tried to get closer to me, but I used my powers on all of them, and they went flying. I stood there stunned, but then I realized I had to go after Eric. I would not let Bill kill him.
"Eric", I yelled, as I ran out of the house. I felt a strange pull towards the graveyard, and I went running in that direction. I felt the wind blow against my face, as I ran as fast as my body would let me. I ignored the pain in my side, I had to get to Eric. I stopped when I saw Bill, who was standing before Eric. Eric was being held by two guards, while Bill held a stake in one hand.
"As your punishment, I sentence you to the true death", I heard him say as he raised the stake.
"No", I yelled as I stepped forward, and Bill stopped, "don't do this", Bill turned to me.
"Sookie, you should leave", he turned away.
"Bill, if you love me, like you say you do, you won't kill him", I paused, "please, don't kill him", Bill tensed up.
"He is a danger to society, especially now more than ever in his state of mind", I shook my head.
"I will keep an eye on him, he has been fine", I pointed to myself, "I'm not dead, so he isn't that much of a danger", Eric was staring at me, showing a range of emotions, confusion, happiness, sadness, and I think lust.
"He could snap, at any moment, you could be dead", I sighed.
"But I'm not", I got closer to Bill, "I'm done being the victim, I'm done letting people make choices for me, and run my life. I want my own responsibilities, and my own choices", I paused, "I'm making a choice right now, and I'm choosing Eric, and I choose to watch over him, and make sure nothing happens", I was now standing right in front of Bill.
"This is going against all of my right judgment", Bill said, "If you should fail, then he will suffer the true death, we can't have any slip ups, especially not now, or your ass and mine will have to pay the price", I smiled at Bill.
"You can trust me, there won't be any slip ups", he nodded.
"Guards, release him", the guards let Eric go, and I signaled for him to come to me. He ran up to me, and took my hand. Bill looked down at our hands, and his eye twitched with anger.
"Thank you", I whispered, as I turned to leave with Eric, but then I stopped, "Bill, can I talk to you for a second", he nodded.
"Of course", I let go of Eric's hand.
"Go straight home, I'll be there in a minute", he nodded, and gave a wary glance to Bill, and ran home.
"What is it", Bill asked.
"For the first time, I need you to be honest with me", he tried to say something but I held my hand up, "did you set Eric up, knowing that something would happen to him, if he saw the witches", Bill tensed up, and I knew the answer.
"I did it so you would be safe", he murmured. I scoffed at him, and turned to leave, "Sookie", he tried to grab my arm, but I shook him off.
"Bill, we have a common enemy right now, and it isn't you, and it isn't Eric, it's the witches, and if we don't stop them, not only will they be a problem to you, but they will be a problem for me", he nodded, "we need help, gather people you know, and I will try to get people as well. We need to stop them".
"I will call you tomorrow night, be safe", I ignored him as I left. I ran home, and saw Eric sitting on the porch swing, and walked up to me as I got closer to the house. He put his arms around me and held me.
"Why did you go after me", he said, as he breathed in my scent.
"I owe you", I simply said.
"Will you tell me about you, about us", he looked me in the eyes, and I practically melted.
"Okay, come on", I grabbed his hand and led him inside. I went to grab some blankets as he started up a fire in the living room.
"Tell me about how we met", he asked.
"Well, I was kinda doing some research on some murders that were happening, so I had Bill take me to your bar to get some answers", he nodded.
"The king, he was also your lover", I shrugged.
"He was, and to me he is no king", Eric smirked.
"I agree", I laughed.
"Well when I met you, I guess you could say, I thought you were a cold person. Not at all friendly", he frowned.
"So basically a dick", I shook my head.
"No, well not exactly", he smiled.
"Well do I have any friends, or do I put so much courage, and good spirits into people that they respect me", I shook my head, "well, I thought not", I laughed again, "that's beautiful you know, when you laugh", I bit my lip, and turned away from him.
"Well, when I met you, you found out that I was a telepath, and you paid me for my services to help you", he became serious again.
"Didn't you say to me one time, that you thought your telepathy was a curse", the first night Eric was here, I must have said that to Pam.
"Well to me it is", he looked away from me.
"I am sorry, that I forced you in any way to use your curse", I grabbed his hand.
"Don't be, even though I hate it, I kinda liked doing that stuff, it made me a bit more powerful, and helped me learn some more control I guess", he lightly smiled.
"So did we ever become friends", well, that was a bit of a tough question.
"Kinda, I think at some point you grew on me", I remembered our conversation back before we left to Dallas, and I smiled.
"What", Eric asked, as he lightly touched me.
"Nothing", I yawned, and laid down. Eric laid next to me, and put his arms around me.
"Thank you for saving me", he whispered. I turned over to look at him, and we laid like that for a couple of minutes. Is this really happening, am I really laying here right now in the arms of Eric Northman, the man I claimed to hate. All I know is that something was happening, something I didn't want to admit, but deep down, I was developing feelings for him, "I want to remember you, a part of me feels that you are so familiar", he caressed my cheek, and I could feel that I was blushing.
"We will find a way, you will get your memories back", I grabbed his hand, and snuggled closer to him. There was a loud knock at the door, and Eric quickly stood up, "go, no one else can know you are here", he nodded and went into the kitchen. I walked up to the door, and saw Lafayette.
"Sookie, please open up", I opened up the door, and Lafayette ran in, "Shit, I did something bad, fuck", he said. I tried to grab him, but he shook me off.
"What happened", he stopped and looked at me.
"Witches, fucking witches, they are real Sook, and I am one of them", I led him over to the couch, and I looked behind me and I signaled for Eric to stay hidden.
"Take a breath, and tell me what you did", he sighed.
"I knew they were no good, I knew it, especially Marnie. She practices black magic, I think, and she did something to Eric", my eyes widened.
"What", he started to shake.
"Pam, she found me, and forced the others to try to do a removal spell, and Marnie acted all innocent at first, but then she just snapped, like crazy shit", he paused, "I think Eric is in trouble, and I don't wanna mess those witches no more, they are bad news, but Tara, she is convinced they are good, and Jesus too", I put my arms around Lafayette.
"I can help you, but you need to help me", he gave me a confused glance, "can I trust you", he nodded, "Lafayette you are right, the witches are bad, and they did do something to Eric", I listened into his mind, and I decided I really could trust him, he was scared, and he wanted out. The only way he could do that was if he helped us get rid of the witches.
"Sook, what is going on", I stood up and walked over to Eric and led him into the room, "Shit", Lafayette jumped up and backed into the wall.
"Lafayette, you are a close friend of mine, and I won't let Eric hurt you, but this Eric isn't the same one you know, he doesn't know who he is, because Marnie wiped away his memories", Lafayette backed away from the wall and came closer to us, "I can help you, but you need to help us, because the only way to stop them, is to get rid of them", I sighed, "you know who is the good side, and who is the bad, you need to choose now", I could hear the conflict in his mind.
"Promise me, that we will get Tara, Jesus, and Holly out of their first", I nodded.
"We will try", he took a deep breath and nodded.
"I'll help, fuck, this isn't going to end well is it", I shook my head.
"Never said it was going to".
