When I woke up curled in someones arms, I sighed, going. "I had the weirdest dream Eric. You had no-" I opened my eyes and saw the cupboard, finishing glumly. "Memory." I sighed again, then closed my eyes again, raising my hand to the man who had his head buried in my chest. I stroked his hair back, putting my cheek to the top of his blonde head.

I had to look after him from now on. Great (!)

The sun was just about to set, and I slipped out earlier, heading into the kitchen where Sookie was making herself a coffee.

She squeaked in surprise as she turned to see me, and I chuckled. "I wasn't creeping."

"I know. Just... don't do that."

I chuckled, then stepped forwards, going. "Did Bill buy it?"

"For now." Sookie sighed heavily, and I nodded. "He won't for long. Eric needs to stay hidden."

"Godric's coming over later-?"

I fell silent, then just muttered. "It's rude to eavesdrop."

"Well, your thoughts are different. I can't even block them out." Sookie told me and I laughed darkly, explaining. "Must be a Siren thing."

"I don't understand. What is a Siren? I thought-"

"If you say mermaid-!"

She shut up, and I nodded. "It's where the legends come from. I don't know if I can sing, to be honest, I don't wanna try. But... yeah. This is what I am. Out water, I'm what you see here with a few traits of my other side. I can walk in the sun. In water... I've not tried it all yet, but it makes my blood poisonous to vampires, and I can control any man while touching them."

"Vampires too-?"

"Mmhmm. Happened once with Eric."

Sookie looked almost nervous, and I chuckled. "There was a time I would have loved to have knocked your head off... but at the moment while Eric's like this, I won't."

She could probably see in my head that I wouldn't anyway. I wasn't a killer really anymore.

At that, she glanced once more at me, then back to her coffee. There was a creak behind me, and we both almost jumped in the air, hearing straight away.

"Sorry!"

Was that... Eric saying sorry-?

Good god he really had lost his memory.

I turned around to face him, and he looked... so lost. Like he didn't know where to begin.

To be honest, I just wanted to hug him and never let him go. Never had I seen that look upon his face so... so prominent.

"It's ok sweetie." I told him with a sigh, and he fell silent, looking between us for a moment, then I said. "Why don't you go and put the TV on?"

He nodded, then left, but not before looking at me with more than a little interest. But all the same, I heard the TV switch on in the other room.

I just said now. "Godric should be here soon. It's fine to invite him in. I don't think anyone else will know he's here."

She set her cup down, hissing. "I don't want to get into more of this vampire shit!"

"Neither do I." I growled back, and I heard a voice go. "Is there a problem here?"

We looked around to the tall man in the doorway, looking between us as if he wondered we were going to fight. I shook my head. "It's fine Eric. Go back to your show."

He hesitated, then turned away and went back in, sitting down on the sofa with more than a light thump. Fat bastard. I looked to Sookie, then just said. "Look- you know Godric. He can be trusted... I'd trust him with my life, and Erics while he's like this."

She paused, no doubt rummaging through my head once more, then nodded. "Fine." At her words, I turned away and walked into the main room, sitting down next to my husband, who, after a moment, lay down with his head on my lap, his legs hanging of the side.

I could see from his reflection in the tv when the color was black that he was dozing lightly as I smoothed his hair back comfortingly. I think he was finally starting to trust me. Even... if he didn't believe we were married.

But then, his eyes snapped open and he was sat up in a flash, listening intently. I knew what he could hear- vampire. And I recognized them.

Eric didn't, and was in 'guard dog' mode once more as he flashed outside, and I yelled. "Eric no!"

Seriously-! What if it had been Bill, not our maker-!

Yeah, we weren't hiding him here (!)

I ran to the door, and saw that Godric had Eric pinned to the floor with a hand, looking up at me and just said. "You need to keep a better eye on him."

"I know." I groaned, then stepped forwards, going hastily as Eric snarled at the vampire pinning him down. "It's fine Eric. He's your maker."

That was all I needed to say to make him stop fighting, and Godric let him go to walk over to me, taking me by surprise as he hugged me for a moment. Then again, it had been a more little while since we'd last seen each other.

"We should go inside." He said now, and I looked to Sookie who groaned, but invited him in.

Inside, Eric was sat before me on the floor, myself on the sofa, messing with his hair. He seemed to like it, for everytime I stopped, he started sulking, making me start up again.

Godric was stood next to the window, looking outside through the curtains, then sighed. "It would be unwise to move him. They may be watching."

"Then what are we going to do?" I asked him and he sighed. "I don't know."

Now that wasn't like Godric. But... we were backed into a corner. If we moved him, it would mean exposing him. And he couldn't go to Bill to talk, because he'd know where he was then.

Godric sighed again, then just said. "I think I would make things worse. I shouldn't be here... I'm supposed to be dead."

I groaned, and Eric said. "Dead?"

Godric looked to him, then nodded. "Yes."

"Why?"

A pause. "If you get your memory back, I shall tell you."

Eric stared, then nodded. "Yes. Ok."

Godic turned to me, then said. "I must go before others pick up my scent. I was a fool for coming."

"But Godric-?"

He was gone.

I sighed heavily- he did love us both, and he was right. Because of that he had come, ignoring sense. He was a good man.

"You're sad."

I looked down to Eric at that, realizing that we both had each others blood in our systems. He could tell what I was feeling.

"Don't worry love." I just said, smoothing his hair back once more. He closed his eyes against my leg once more, making me say to Sookie. "Godric's right though. He gotta keep him hidden."

She sighed, and I could tell she didn't really want part of this... but Eric needed us, needed her. And I needed him. I really did.

Later that night, Sookie went out somewhere, leaving me with Eric, who asked me-

"Do I really know you?"

I rolled my eyes, then nodded. "You do. Stop saying that."

"Not my fault Pretty Girl. I can't remember you."

I wanted to rub tears away at that, but knew it wouldn't make any difference. He frowned, no doubt checking up on my feelings and finding me sad once more.

To be honest, I didn't know what to say to that, then just turned away. Then a hand caught my own, and he made me look around. Eric bent down a little so he was eye level with me, then he leaned forwards, hesitating for a moment, almost like he didn't know how to. Now that made me laugh internally, so I leaned forwards myself and kissed him for second. But as I went to pull away, he pulled me back, pressing his lips gently to mine, almost worried about offending me.

When he let me go, he was almost grinning like a little boy who had just had his first kiss. Then again, this actually was.

I just sighed, then said, a hand on his arm. "We need to get you some clothes. You can't be wandering around in next to nothing."

He looked down, then just went. "Oh. Sorry."

I sighed again, then told him sternly. "Stay here. And when Sookie get's back, you listen to her. Yes?"

"Yes Pretty Girl."

Why did he keep calling me that-? Not that I didn't like it though. It was nice to hear him call me all these things- it wasn't usually him.

"Ok love. Stay safe and out of sight." I told him, wishing I could kiss him again, but in this frame of mind... I didn't think I should.

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

Shopping for Eric clothes wise wasn't a first- I was usually the one to do it.

Plus I got his size better than he did himself.

When I got back, I could feel it...

Something was wrong.

I walked in and immediately saw Sookie, and she went. "Finally!"

"Where's Eric?" I demanded, and she shook her head. "Bill..."

I gasped, then went to the other room, yelling. "Eric-!" Then I rounded on Sookie, snarling. "You let him take him-!"

There was a silence, and I stepped back, shaking my head. Bill... would have Eric killed.

"Freya-!" Sookie yelled after me, and I shook my head, just carrying on running-

Why was I having to save him again?

And the next little filler chapter! There should be another one up later too. Hope you like and review! x Nic
