After all that, I had to leave the house where I wandered the woods and ended up sitting down on the fallen tree in my path, letting the tears flow, and I sobbed into the darkness, not caring if the blood stained my dress.
What if Eric never remembered me-?
Oh god...
I don't know how long I sat out there crying, but when I got back, it was nearly dawn, and Sookie had gone to her bedroom, sorting something out. Eric was still awake and sat on the sofa, watching the tv intently. But as I walked in, he looked around and saw me, getting to his feet in a flash.
"Look- I'm not gonna hurt you." I sighed heavily, and he looked to the blood on my dress and just said.
"You've been crying."
"No shit." I snapped, wiping my eyes in case they were still red and bloody. He watched me walk over to the fridge, looking for some blood. But there was none.
I sighed once more, then Eric said. "Why have you been crying?"
A silence, and I just said, coldly I had to admit. "Because my husband gave me his ring back."
He was silent, then he just walked over to me and looked down at me before saying. "I'm sorry. But... I don't know you."
I didn't say anything, but then he frowned, grabbing my arm in a flash, pulling me forwards and took in my scent, frowning. "Are you like Sookie?"
"Like?"
"Her blood. It's beautiful. Like yours."
Well, at least he called me beautiful. Could have been worse I spose' hm?
"No. I'm a Siren, Eric. You know that."
"I don't. What's a Siren? You smell... lovely. Can I bite you?"
I scowled and just snapped. "You may not. And if you want to know what I am, Google it (!)" He watched me for a moment, then grinned. "Are you a friend of Sookies?"
Why not?
"Yeah. I'm gonna be looking after you with her."
I could still tell he wasn't overtly sure whether or not to trust me. He was weary, and I looked to the window, going. "I think you should be heading to bed now."
"I don't want to go bed."
"Now!" I ordered and Sookie came into the room, probably wandering what the racket was about. She now said. "Well, the cubbys ready Eric."
"I don't want to go bed." He just pouted and I rolled my eyes, grabbing his arm and yanked him to the place Sookie pointed out. I pretty much shoved him inside, going. "Sleep. Now. Or do you want to burn in the sun?"
He pouted at me, then just muttered. "If we are married, you were the one to wear the trousers." I shut the door, then sighed, turning to see Sookie with her eyebrow raised. I laughed weakly. "Gotta keep a firm hand with him."
"I'll keep that in mind."
I nodded, then groaned, asking quietly. "I think I've had like an hours sleep. Please say you have a room I can crash in now?"
Sookie hesitated, then led me into a room, going. "I hope you like it."
"Compared to the home me and Eric had when we were human, this is heaven."
She chuckled, then just said. "You knew him when you were human-?"
"Well, year. He took me in when I was found wandering the woods. I was twelve."
Sookie was silent, then said quietly. "You must love him very much."
"I do." I smiled lightly, sighing a little after. "So much."
"I'll leave you." She told me now, then walked out, closing the door behind her. I collapsed on the bed and closed my eyes, thankful for nodding off straight away.
-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-
When I woke up just after sunset, I groaned lightly, turning over, opening my eyes.
And sat up instantly in surprise at the man sat watching me.
"What the fuck are you doing Edward Cullen?" I said grumpily, and he cocked his head a fraction, just saying. "I don't know this Edward... but you're interesting."
"Interesting how?"
He just stared, then he said. "You're intriguing."
"Yeah you said that."
Eric got up, then walked over to me, staring down at me. His grin was widening now, and I realized he was staring at my skimpy vest, and I pulled the covers up, hissing. "Out. Unless you remember me."
"Ok, I'll leave Faye."
"It's Freyr!" I growled as he left, and I sighed heavily-
Hell I missed my husband...
As I got dressed, I heard someone swearing under their breath, and called to me. "Freya! Eric's gone!"
I groaned, then pulled my coat on, downstairs in a flash. I tried picking up his trail, and got a faint one.
"You go ahead." I groaned, then stepped outside, pulling out my phone, pausing-
I wondered...
The ringtone carried on for a minuet, then to my utter surprise-
"Freyr."
"...Godric. Where are you?"
"Home, Frey. Dallas."
I breathed a sigh of relief, then just said, tears in my eyes. "Something's happened to Eric."
That was news to him, as he fell silent. Then-
"What has happened my child?"
"He had a run in with witches... Godric, his memory... it's gone. He doesn't know who I am." I was crying by the end of it. To be honest, I didn't care if anyone thought me weak. This was my husband. A thousand years I'd been with him.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. I just... miss him."
"I'll be over tomorrow night. I swear it. Hold on my dear, you'll be ok."
I ended the call now, and then I heard a yell behind me, and I turned. Eric collided into me now, and he grinned. "Got you, Pretty Girl."
I rolled my eyes, then pushed him away, going. "Inside. Now! Jeez I can't wait until you remember who you are..."
"And who is that exactly?"
"The man I love. You just look like him."
He frowned, then cocked his head. "Why can't I be him?"
"What's my name before we married? The name I changed my first one to?"
Eric was silent, then looked down and just said in a mutter. "I don't know."
"Exactly." I sighed, putting a hand on his arm for a moment, and he didn't throw me off this time. I carried on walking, and he called. "What was it? Tell me."
"Freya. Freya Eden."
"And now?"
"Freyr Northman." I said, walking out and closing the door.
I paused for a moment, then just started on my way back to the bar. I couldn't face Eric while he was like this... it was breaking my heart.
On the way, I got a phonecall- Pam.
"Eric is fucking gone! He doesn't even fucking know my name-!" I raged, and she shushed me, going. "Just shut up. And stay with Eric."
"Wha-? Just how did this happen-! Was it Bill?"
"I think it was. He sent him to..." She just sighed, then added. "Stay with Eric. Keep him safe. I'm off bed."
"I just-" I started, but she'd already hung up. I glanced to the sky now- almost sunrise. A groan escaped me, then as I went to put my phone away, I got a message from Soo-
Hang on. How did that fairy know my number-?
Anyway, she wanted me to come back. Eric was on the run again.
Jeez, couldn't she lock him up already?
I turned around and put my foot on the accelerator.
Great (!) Off to save my husband yet a-fucking-gain.
-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-
When I got back, the house was empty, and I could smell werewolf. I knew that for sure because I'd only met one, and that was Alcide.
I followed it, and the sunlight was blazing down by now as I heard the splashing, then stopped beside Sookie, folding my arms at the man in the water, acting like he was twelve again.
"Eric." I just said and he looked around, grinning. "Faye! Welcome back!"
"It's Freyr, and out! The sun'll burn you!"
"I don't care." He said in a sing-song voice, and I dumped my phone in Sookies hand, wading into the water towards him, grabbing his arm so he didn't start to burning.
"Eric. I'm supposed to be taking care of you... please, get inside. I'm not losing you."
Eric just stared, then he took my face in his hands and frowned. "Pretty Girl... you care about me?"
I was silent, then just nodded once. He looked at me for a moment, then Sookie called. "Come on already!"
Eric grinned at me, then said. "If we are married and you love me...do we have sex?"
I scowled, then hissed. "Out! Now!"
"Only if you agree to sleep with me."
"No. Not like this." I scowled, then let him go. He winced as the sun started to burn him, and I hastily grabbed him again, hissing. "Come on."
"Promise me first."
"Fine! Whatever!" I growled, knowing full well that this was the only way to get him inside. He grinned in triumph, and let me drag him out.
I just couldn't bloody win when it came to him.
When we got back, I just shoved Eric into his hidey hole, and he grabbed my arm, pouting. "You said you would."
"I'm not doing it in there-! Or while you're like this-!"
But now I realized there was another meaning to what he'd said, and I scoffed quietly. "You little shit."
His grin grew, and for the first time, sex wasn't on his mind when he said 'sleep with me.' I rolled my eyes, then said to Sookie. "I-"
"There's someone here."
Erics words made me frown, then just go. "I feel it too. Bill... make him go away-!" Sookie left straight away.
The man went to get up, but I forced him down and clamped a hand over his mouth, shushing him. He scowled, but nodded, and I removed my hand.
So here we were. Hiding in a fairies cupboard...
Only us.
And the next and last for today. Hope you like and thanks for reviewing! More much loved ta x Nic
