Chapter 5

(Just to let you know the bold italics is Pam speaking and normal italics is Sookie.)

Sookie's POV

After Eric had left, I stayed seated on my bed, and allowed myself to process everything Eric had said. I sighed and tried to think what my Gran would say. She would probably want me to accept his offer, since it would mean I would be protected and I could probably protect Jason as well. Again I sighed; I knew what I had to do. Looking at the time I realised it had only been 10 minutes since Eric had left, so I decided by the time I got to Shreveport he would be there. I climbed into my little yellow car, started my towards to Fangtasia, the whole time I was thinking of all the ways Eric will make my life miserable, but by the time I arrived at the bar they had all turned into good things.

(AUTHOURS NOTE: Just to let you know the bold italics is Pam speaking, Underlining is Eric and Sookie is just italics, didn't want anyone to get confused.)

I jumped out of my car and headed towards the door, surprisingly Pam was not checking IDs tonight instead it was Chow, who was usually the bartender. He allowed me to go through, I looked at the direction of Eric's thrown and noticed Pam was sitting on it instead, so I made my way through the noisy crowd and headed towards her. I decided it would be easier to cut through the chit-chat and go straight to the point. "Where's Eric? I need to see him." "He went out to see you, then Biill. He left me in charge for a couple of days as he planned to stay at yours" "Oh, well he told me to come here, never mind I will go home and see if he turns up" "You do that, it was lovely to see you again. Goodnight Sookie" This seemed to be quite a stressful, pointless and tiring day. I waved goodbye to Chow and headed back home.

Just into Bon Temps I noticed a tall blonde man, naked walking. Even though it isn't what you should do, I began to slow down and pull up in front of the man. That was when I realised it was Eric Northman who was standing naked in the cold, looking at me with a lost expression. I rolled down my window, so I could speak to him. "Eric, why are you wandering around here? And naked?" "Who are you?" "It's me, Sookie" "huh" "You know me" Looking at his face he seemed generally confused, he looked very lost, it slightly scared me but I thought at first he was playing a joke. "No, No I don't" He looked at me closely, and began to walk towards the car, I took this time to look at him, after reading minds you begin to learn how to read people's body language as well. He was being cautious when he was stepping closer, I began to believe that he wasn't messing around, I could feel myself start to worry, something wasn't right. Then all my fears were confirmed when Eric said one short sentence "why do you smell so good?" I knew then that I was in possible danger and that something had happened to Eric, I knew I would have to help him, even if it meant risking my life, after all I was soon to be his.

Lafayette's POV

After seeing Eric leave I went to see if Tara was ok, after all she had nearly been drained then dropped. Luckily she was breathing, so I lifted her up and moved onto some pillows before turning my attention to Jesus. "What the hell just happened?" I demanded. I had to admit it but I was scared, I had just watched my cousin nearly die, and see the vampire that tortured me have a look of confusion. I wanted answers. "I don't know, but could you feel the magic? It as strong" Jesus replied, he looked like a child that had just been given the best candy. I looked around and noticed that most people had the same reaction as Jesus, but there were some like Holly that looked confused and shocked. I heard Tara begin to stir so picked her up and walked out, I didn't care that Jesus was calling my name, I wanted out and for Tara's sake she didn't need any of this. She had been through plenty. I just hope that nothing bad has happened, I didn't want Eric to become more dangerous than he was.

Author's note: I have had a bit of writer's block, so this is a rather short chapter. The next chapter won't be up until after episode 3, since I need some inspiration and I am using it as a bit of a guideline. I hope you are enjoying it so far, and I promise that the next chapter will be a bit longer.
