ERIC POV

My beloved Sookie had worn herself out today. When she projected her vision at me, she had opened up her mind without realizing it and I saw everything that she had done with her magic today. I couldn't believe how quickly she was picking up her Fae gifts. I felt so proud of her, but there was a part of me that felt something that I hadn't felt in centuries. I was afraid. She had been mostly human for the majority of her young life and all of these changes were happening in her so quickly, I was afraid that it would be all too much for her.

She fell asleep in my arms after crying her eyes out and I laid her down on the bed. I curled up next to her and rest my head on her stomach. We were both going to be going through some serious changes in the near future.

I wanted to be with Sookie for forever. There was a part of me that wanted to turn her so that I could keep her, but I knew that right now that was not what she wanted. I hoped that someday she would change her mind, but there were no guarantees that she would change her mind. There was also the possibility that she'll develop the Fae lifespan. If that happened we could have centuries if not longer together.

If someone had asked me a decade ago if I could imagine spending the rest of eternity with someone I would have told them hell no. I've been alone for so long and that was how I was accustomed to things. I found donors and bed partners when I needed them, but never the same person more than that I had Sookie in my life everything was different. It had only been a short time, but that was all it took. She was a part of me now even without the bond. God only knows what it would be like when we did finally bond.I had already started making plans to incorporate Sookie into every aspect of my life. I wasn't going to do it all at once because I had a feeling that would scare her away no matter how much she loved me.

She told me that she loved me! When she had said the words, if my heart had been beating I knew it would have stopped short. I wish that I'd had a chance to say it back to her, but I knew that the next chance I had I would tell her.I thought about her relationship with Compton and I was not about to make the same mistakes that he made. I was never going to keep secrets from her and I was going to tell her everyday just how much I loved her. I would never give her any reason to question my love for her.

My mind drifted off to the night that the wolf attacked. Sookie was wearing the engagement ring that Compton had given her. I wonder if she would wear a ring that I purchased for her. Did I want to marry Sookie in a human ceremony? The answer came to me without me even having to think about it. Yes I did want to marry her. I wanted us to be joined in every way possible. I would do anything to make her happy.

I slipped into downtime with my head still resting on her stomach. I was enjoying the steady rhythm of Sookie's breathing and heartbeat, when something suddenly seemed off. I don't know how to describe it, but there was something going on inside her body and I had a pretty good idea who had done it to her.

I quietly slipped out of bed, dressed in a pair of jeans and a Fangtasia t-shirt, grabbed my cell phone and headed downstairs. I had a call to make and I didn't want to disturb Sookie.

I could feel the anger build up inside of me over what had been done to my Sookie and it was taking all of my strength to stay in control. I barely had my cell out and was about to dial when I heard the loud pop signaling that I had company, company I was not happy to see.

When I turned around and came face to face with Niall, I could feel my blood boiling. I let my anger take over and I charged at him. I barely made it two steps even with my vampire speed before I was thrown back on my ass. That just pissed me off even more. "I know that you want to speak to me Viking, so lets get on with it."

"What have you done to my Sookie?" I snarled at him and if he didn't answer me pretty damn quick I would rip his fucking throat out.

I stood there with my fangs bared and the fucking fairy had the balls to laugh at me. I was getting more and more pissed off. He noticed and finally got himself to calm down. "Look, I know what the problem is and I want you to know that it wasn't my magic that brought this miracle to life."

I calmed down, but only in the slightest. "Alright, so which one of your fairies do I have to kill. I can feel the magic inside her as clear as I can feel the magic she used in this room earlier today."

"Think about what you just said Viking. Was there any difference, even in the slightest between the two magics?"

I let that thought roll around in my head and I realized that there wasn't a difference in the magic. "Do you mean that Sookie made this happen all on her own?"

"I told you both the other day that Sookie would be able to conjure anything that her heart desired. Apparently this is something that her heart desire's."

I was totally speechless. I had accepted that this was never going to be a possibility for Sookie and I, but apparently we were both wrong. This was going to take a lot of getting used to. "Is this going to have any effect on Sookie's new powers?"

"That is something that I don't know. This is new territory for everyone around. We will have to learn as we go. How is she doing with her new powers by the way?"

"She is amazing. She conjured dozens of things today, she used her telekinesis, she teleported into our bedroom, she discovered that she can fly and that she can make things stop at her will." I watched as his mouth fell open and I couldn't keep the smug satisfaction that came over my face.

"She's more powerful than anyone ever imagined. She is going to become a target even more than she already is once people find out about her added powers."

"I will lay down my life to save her. I will not let anything bad happen to her."

"I know you won't."

"How am I suppose to tell Sookie our news?"

"Maybe it would be best for her discover this on her own."

"No. I will not keep things from her, especially not something of this magnitude. She needs to know, I'm just afraid this might be more than she can handle right now."

"You really do love my great granddaughter, don't you?"

I wasn't comfortable admitting that to the fairy for a couple of reasons. One, any emotions from a vampire was a sign of weakness. We would soon be taking over Louisiana and Mississippi, we couldn't afford to be weak in even the littlest sense. And two, I really wanted to tell Sookie before I admitted it to anyone else. "I care for her very much."

"You haven't said it to her yet, have you?"

"No, but I intend to remedy that as soon as possible."

"What are your intentions towards Sookie?"

"She had agreed to be my Queen."

"I had no doubt that she would. She had royalty in her blood. She will make an excellent queen and so much more."

I wondered what else was in store for my Sookie, but I pushed that aside to contemplate later on. "She has also agreed to formally bond with me."

"That is a serious step. Are you sure that she is really ready for that yet?"

"She's adamant about it." A thought came to mind as I said that. "Could her condition be the reasoning behind her wanting to bond?"

"It might be part of it, but I know that Sookie loves you. You were suppose to be the one all along. It was foretold long ago that the light and the dark, two beings from opposing races would come together and would bring forth a legacy of peace to the worlds."

I was really getting sick of being shocked with things today. "Wait a minute, are you telling me that Sookie and I have been prophesized to be together?"

"Yes. There is more to it than just that, but you both aren't ready to hear more now."

I could feel the anger build in me again. "Damn it fairy, if this has anything to do with Sookie we both have the right to know."

"Calm down vampire. All will be revealed when the time is right. Take care of my great granddaughter." With that he popped out leaving me with more questions than answers and a situation that I was definitely in over my head with.

I could hear from her steady breathing that Sookie was still asleep, so I slipped out the back door and took to the air. I stayed within viewing distance of the house, but I just needed some fresh air to clear my head and think of all the things that I had learned tonight.

I needed to tread lightly when I tell Sookie our news. I will have to convince her that this is a good thing, which it really is. The timing may not be so great with all the things that are going to be happening fairly quickly, but this would be a blessing none the less.

This was one of those rare times when I wish that Godric hadn't met his final death. I would do anything to seek is wisdom and council for everything that was changing with me and Sookie. He probably wouldn't have any more idea how to handle things than I do, but just having him close would bring me some much needed peace.

I realized that all I needed to do to feel a peace even remotely close to that was to go inside and curl up with Sookie. Just being close to her was soothing and left me feeling utterly content. Thinking of her made me realize that everything would be alright. With my thousand years of experience and with her heart and kindness, I knew that we could handle anything that came our way.

I flew back down to the backyard and slipped into the house. I listened to hear if Sookie was awake. Her breathing was steady and even so I knew that she was still asleep. I made my way into the library to pick up the mess that I'd made from our earlier tryst. Looking at it brought a smile to my face and also made me hard as a rock.

The smell of sex was still heavy in the air and it made me want to go upstairs and ravage Sookie, but I knew that she really needed rest now more than ever before.

I picked up all of the discarded papers and writing utensils, then set up my laptop that I luckily hadn't left on the desk and did some shopping. I knew that I should wait for Sookie to find out our news so that she could help, but I just couldn't resist ordering a few little trinkets. I also ordered something special just for Sookie. I didn't know if she would like it or even accept it right now, but it was a chance that I was more than willing to take.

I finished my shopping and started making lists of the people who would need to be notified of mine and Sookie's decisions to become regents. I also made a list of the positions in my new retinue that I would need filled and who I would want to fill them.

I was about to start making some phone calls to get the ball rolling when I heard Sookie start screaming from upstairs. I raced up there and stopped short in the doorway. I looked Sookie over to see if she was hurt and she didn't appear to be injured, but there was something definitely wrong. I took a closer looking her over again and I finally noticed what she had been screaming at.

I stood there with my mouth hanging open not really knowing how to react to what I was seeing and not able to interpret all of what she was feeling, but one thing I could get that she was feeling was shock and I was right there with her. "Holy Shit!"
