AS PROMISED,

HERE IS THE 2ND UPDATE OF THE DAY! HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DO... THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHAPTERS AND UPDATES.. AND PLUS YOU GET MORE ERIC!

"Magister." Eric said inverting his head slightly. Not a bow but a small, very small, gesture of respect. Obviously Eric did not like this man at all. "In the past few days these humans have proved very helpful. Even on this night, they have helped us captured the humans responsible for the vampire drainings you have heard about."

The Magister only slightly nodded. I doubted that he cared that we'd help found those responsible. All he had cared about was that they were found and condemned for their actions against vampires.

"Bring in the culprits." He said sitting back down in the deep red plump chair.

The two boys were in handcuffs and thrown on the ground. Jen, was not cuffed however but she was still thrown on the ground next to them.

"Young boys." The magister started speaking. He didn't even give them the respect of calling them men. "It seems we have something in common. We both like to watch drainings. Unfortunately for you I do not think you will enjoy these drainings one bit. For your punishment for draining and killing vampires, you yourselves will be drained by two very hungry newly turned vampires." His smiled turned up instantly after his statement.

My heart dropped, and I instantly felt bad for them. It seemed like a horrible way to go out and I definitely didn't want to watch. I turned my head into Eric's side and stared at him as the two Vampires plunged into their meals. I heard Sookie gasp, then the crowd cheered for more blood, and I sensed the animalistic nature inside of the bar rise. I felt Eric rub my back then leave his hand on my waist. There was nothing he could do about it, but he was at least trying to be somewhat… soothing. Just as I turned back they were dragging the bodies away somewhere. Jen was seemingly caught in the middle and had blood all over her clothes. I was instantly drawn to her. I had no clue what punishment the magister would deem satisfactory for her. I was on pins and needles waiting to hear his judgment. I took a step forward and Eric's hand that had been on my waist was now on my arm pulling me back into him.

"Girl, think of today as your lucky day. The sheriff has decided you would be more useful to her as a human servant than a dead human corpse. Be thankful that you struck a deal with Mr. Northman, because if it was strictly up to me you would be dead right now." The Magister said through gritted teeth "Get her out of my sight."

With his words she was hauled off to some unknown place. I put my hand over Eric's hand that was on my arm and gave it a gentle squeeze. He looked down and I gave him a small smile. If there was a flicker of emotion there I didn't see it, but that was okay. It just gave me a sense of reassurance that there was more to come.

"Which one of you is Emelie?" The Magister said looking at Sookie and I.

I took one step forward only to be held back again and instantly by Eric.

"Ah. I see." The Magister said now at the end of his seat. "We now have a small predicament. As we were going through that girls belongings, the stupid human has named you as a friend of many years. And I do not trust it. Who is to say you will retaliate especially after what you saw here tonight?" There was malice in his voice. Obviously now this had turned from a judgment to a trial in 2 minutes flat.

"Sir, Jennifer made her bed and she has laid in it. I did not know the two men you killed and I have no intention on retaliating on any vampire. What they have done was wrong period." I said in an even toned voice. "I am not trying to end up in their positions."

"Yes, you say this now, but unfortunately we can not trust humans. You see you all are not reliable. And you live in this area do you not?" He asked even more interested.

"Yes sir. " I said. I looked back at Eric who had a stern look on his face. I don't think he expected this to happen. If he did, I don't think he would have brought me. I was just totally confused, once again, by what was going on. It was hard enough for me to even grasp human political concepts, but here I was in a vampire bar trying to understand there's. I was completely lost.

"So it would be very easy for you and a number of your friends to retaliate on the vampires of this area." He said like he knew my life. If he knew anything he would have known the only two people who I truly thought I knew were gone, and I had known less about them than I had previously imagined.

I think I would be best if someone was to watch over you. Don't you think so Sheriffs?" The Magister asked the rhetorical question to Eric and Isabelle. I wasn't sure if there was any other Sheriff's around, but I highly doubted it. It seemed rare that there were two sheriffs in one area at a time. "I think its quite fair that you should bond to a vampire so he or she can look after you, and kill you if need be."

My blood boiled. How was he going to tell me to 'bond' with a vampire so I can be looked after? And possibly KILLED if necessary? Jen had really put me in SOME situation now. I was angry and opened my mouth to say something but as quickly as I opened my mouth was as quickly as Eric's cool hand was over it, making it impossible for me to say anything. I wanted to scream, I already had a bond to a vampire; Eric to be exact, since he was my charge. That was one bond too many in my own opinion.

"Magister, this woman has not offended the vampire community at all. In fact she has helped us find the perpetrators of these crimes." Bill said rationally. He was talking like my lawyer now. I felt like yelling 'you tell 'em Bill!' but I couldn't even if I wanted to. Eric's hand was still wrapped around my face.

"This is my judgment Mr. Compton, I think it very fair. Are you trying to argue against it?" The magister said. The anger resonating from his voice was easily detected from every vampire and person in the bar.

"No Magister, not at all. I think it very fair." Bill's sentence came out choppy and not composed at all. He shut up completely after that.

The Magister sat back and smiled. He had gotten his way again. After crossing his legs and folding his hands over his knees he was comfortable enough to continue on with his sentencing. "Now to which Vampire shall you be bonded to?" He said looking around the bar.

In a flash Eric spoke once again. "I will bond with her Magister."

Now the anger had flushed out of my system and nervousness took over. Since it was inevitable that I would have to bond I was confused as to what it was. I looked at Sookie and she looked at me empathetically. Now I wished I were a telepath so I could read her thoughts at that exact moment.

"If you bond with her Mr. Northman you do understand that she will be forced to reside in your Area 5, right?" Magister asked dully. It seemed all the excitement out of this sentencing was done. "And you also understand that if she does commit any treasonous act under you, you will be punished?"

"Yes Magister. I have no problem with this." He said coolly. I looked up at him. He was sticking his neck out for me, but I didn't understand why, not that I didn't appreciate it. But from what I have known of Eric he is definitely all about himself. "I only ask that we do this bonding privately so I can talk to the human about what has just happened. I doubt she understands any of it."

That didn't register with me as fast as he said it. Did he just refer to me as the human? And then did he really just say I was dumb and didn't understand what just happened? I mean I am naive to vampire law, but I was pretty sure I had gotten at least a small grasp on what had just happened.

"Fine, but here and now. There is an office use it and be quick." The Magister said now fully bored. Eric grabbed my arm and walked me to the office door, which had been on the right side of the bar, and locked it.

"Listen, we must bond, which means we must swap blood." He said hastily. I think he saw my shock and understood I was about to argue with him telling him that I clearly wasn't doing it so he started talking before I could. "You have seen the punishments the magister gives out. It is either this or he chooses another which I am sure would not be as pleasant."

This was my only option obviously. I didn't want to be tied to anyone, in any way. I would have to ask later what the side effects of this 'bond' would be. Eric let out a sigh, and in that instant I knew this was going to be a sacrifice for the both of us.

"Why did you say you would bond with me, instead of letting another?" I asked almost as quiet as a mouse.

"I know what you are. A seer, and I know I am your charge. From my understanding you are kind of like my guardian angel." I opened my mouth once again in shock and then closed it. I hadn't told him anything. How on earth did he know what I was? "I spoke to Godric. He had met one before and noticed your smell and 'gifts'. He informed me of your race and your abilities, and possibilities. You are 'special' in my eyes for that reason. Having you in my area could help me and hinder another Vampire from using your powers." He gave a slight pause. I was both happy he was trying to protect me from other vampires but mad that he was possibly trying to used me. I was just a ball of emotions.

"Plus you saved my maker, and I am thankful for that. This is my way of thanking you." He said finally. That had made me feel better. Eric was definitely all about one person (E.R.I.C.) but apparently this gesture was for both of our sakes. I wanted to know what was in it for him, besides a chance to use my abilities.

I was flattered as a small smile crept over my face. Maybe Eric did have a heart after all.

"We can discuss this more later though. We must make this quick."

I was up against the wall of the small office as soon as he had said that. He was inhaling my scent, and slowly feeling over my body through my clothing. I closed my eyes, and let the pleasure of his touch wash over me. He picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Your scent is mouthwatering Emelie." He said in a whisper with a distinct Scandinavian accent. "I can smell that you are pure. No bites. No other Vampires." His hand wandered down from my waist to my leg then over to my 'lady' area. "No sex." He said rubbing his hand over my area with fervor. "Quite the rarity, you are absolutely mouthwatering. I will try to make this as painless as I possibly can."

It was at that moment that he was bending down into my neck, since I was so much shorter than he, Licking sucking and gently nipping at it. I felt his fangs slowly slide out and brush up against my skin. Obviously that was my warning. His hands brushed through my hair and gently pulled my head to the side exposing more of my long pale neck. I heard him inhale my scent once again. Just his touch, his nearness to me was making me dizzy. There was something more than the average connection going on between us. I could feel it. Maybe it had to do with him being my charge, but I didn't care. His touch sent cool electric waves that heated up my body. He started licking again, and I let out another whimper, which turned into a moan. Just from this small session my underwear were soaked. Another brush of his fangs was just more of a turn on.

I felt a sharp piercing pain after that. I winced, but as he began to suck and lick at his freshly made wounds and the pain drifted away as the pleasure instantly took over. I let out another small moan and he sucked harder, as his hands roaming freely around my body. I felt his manhood rising against me and I wrapped my arms around his waist, then to his back and slowly dug my nails into it. He let out a low intense moan into my neck and continued to consume hastily at my neck.

I suddenly felt him pull away and lick at the wounds he had created, making the blood coagulate. He rotated my neck upwards and licked the blood that had begun to drip towards my breasts. Once he pulled away completely I guessed it was my turn. As he sat in one of the chairs in the office, never putting me down, and sat me in the position where I was straddling him. He literally sat me down on his huge erect member, that's when I saw my blood around his mouth. He threw his head back and let out a gruff stressed growl that seemed to come deep from his chest as my full body weight landed on him.

He looked animalistic, and it did work well with his striking features. He crashed his lips on my own and was quick to start exploring my mouth, as I tasted my own seemingly salty blood. My hands rustled through his long hair and I pulled his head back. His hands seemed to be everywhere on my body at once; in my hair then to my legs then to my waist and back to my hair. My lips started to explore his neck, smearing the blood he exchanged from his mouth to mine all over his neck. When I had thought I had the perfect access point I bit down as hard as I could until I felt the thick, sickly sweet substance almost oozing into my mouth. I gave a hard long suck and Eric let out a mixture between a growl and a moan in my ear. His hands snapped to my waist as he pushed me harder on his member, then swayed my hips back and fourth. After a few more, very long seconds, and several more moans, I licked the small trail of blood that was oozing down to his chest, and got off of him. After fixing my clothes and hair, and Eric 'calming himself down', I had assumed the bond had been finished and we could walk back out of the office. But I couldn't help thinking; maybe I enjoyed that a little more than I should have. Think we BOTH did.

I had needed a release, and I definitely got it. His name was Eric Northman
