Hey everyone! I thought you all should know that I am thinking of changing May getting with Bill to May gettin with Jason, I have not made a concrete decision, but I am leaning towards Jason more so than Bill. Which would you prefer?

I left Sookie with her brother, Jason, and slowly made my way to the cemetary, knowing it was going to be fully dark out soon. I felt slightly guilty, since I had read Sookie's mind to grasp the situation here in Bon Temps and I knew that Bill and maybe Eric would be here soon. I was astounded at how little Sookie knew, I had known what I was as soon as I was able to understand the english language. I was born a princess but my parents shipped me to live with my cousins and so I learned everything from them, though it was supposed to be a secret. But I too, like Sookie, was able to read minds from a very young age, my powers are just more grown and I am much, much more powerful than Sookie.
Sookie could only read what was going through someone's mind unless she really concentrated, while I could just jump into someone's head and within a few minutes, I'd know their life story. I hadn't ever really done that before though. I could also see brief glimpes of the future but that took a lot of time and enery to do-I had only done it three times so far. Like every fae, I could use my light to break things, push things, and even kill. Though I had never killed anyone before. I had seen people be killed though.
It was the day I was shipped off to the fae world, my cousins had been trying to teach my to levitate objects, and I had been doing quite well, when we were suddenly under attack. My cousins locked me in my room and warded the place so I couldn't get out nor could anyone get out. Then a beautiful lady appeared next to me and she told me she was my godmother, I foolishly believed her after she told me the family's secret word and agreed to leave with her. I had immediately noticed the same as Sookie had, that something was not right, and they had carted me off, telling me that if I wasn't to be turned then I was to be killed but then that must have been when Sookie figured it out and they all left me with these two male fae and they quickly helped me escape, after healing me slightly so I would be able to use my powers if need be.
I don't know what had prompted me to help Sookie when that one fae was on her, but I knew I had to help, I had this very strong feeling that she was important and so I did help her. I had read her mind while she was dealing with her Great Grandfather and I knew then who she was, it was veiled, she herself was warded and I would be able to help her, but it would take time and preperation to do so.
I finally reached where we had dropped from and walked around until I found the pocket watch Sookie had wanted to give to Jason. I picked it up and started back towards Sookie, but with a quicker stride, it would be full dark in a few minutes, and as soon as it was, I was sure that Bill, and maybe Eric would show, and I didn't want to be alone when that happened. I wasn't sure how much more potent I was than Sookie. Vampires loved fae blood and would do anything to get it. I could defend myself, but I was weak and I really didn't want to fight.
I was about to reach the steps to Sookie's porch when I heard the running footsteps behind me, I whipped around and saw Bill standing there with his fangs down and his eyes were slightly wild.
"Who are you?" Bill asked and I narrowed my eyes. I took a deep breath did as my cousins taught me, I veiled my scent and the reaction was immediate, Bill's fangs retracted and he seemed slightly embarassed. "You're a-" I cut him off.
"Sookie!" I called out, my voice cracking slightly and I heard Sookie and her brother run to the door.
"S-sookie?" Bill asked with wide eyes and I turned and saw Sookie look away with a slightly hurt expression. I frowned, I understood why Sookie was hurt, but she had to understand to everyone else it had been a year not a few hours ago.
"Bill." Sookie nodded her head and I looked over to the left as I saw a pale figure running over and then slow down. Eric. "Eric?" Sookie asked but his eyes were on me, his nose flared, he could still smell me but it I should have been safe.
"Sookie, I knew you'd always come back." Eric said and walked over next to Bill. "And who is this?" Eric asked and Sookie looked at me, raising an eyebrow.
Do you want him to know who I am, Sookie? I asked Sookie, sending my thoughts to her mind and she jumped looking at me with wide eyes. She blinked and then tilted her head.
It's up to you May. She answered and I nodded my head.
"What just happened?" Eric asked and I raised an eyebrow at the sheriff.
"Eric." Bill warned and Eric went silent. Sookie and I shared a surprised look before I stepped forward and curstied slightly.
"I am Mayrentha, Daughter to the Land, Great Grand Daughter to Princess Sarfy." I introduced myself and Eric looked at me with an awed expression that made me raise an eyebrow and Bill looked confused. "I am a fae princess." I said to him and he looked at me with wide eyes.
"Where are your protectors?" Eric demanded coming forward. "You and Sookie both are hurt, what has happened? I need-" Bill cut him off.
"Eric, enough." Bill glared at Eric and Eric rolled his eyes but quieted down.
"Why are you listening to him Eric?" Sookie asked and I nodded my head, I wanted to know as well.
"He is my king." Eric answered and I looked at Bill surprised.
"How did you get the posistion?" I demanded Bill. "You shouldn't have even been considered to be King." I said, I knew some of the vampire laws, and from Sookie's mind, what she knew of him, I knew he wouldn't have been able to do so unless he had someone up high to help him out. Bill glared at me and Eric chuckled.
"I am King, becuase I am King." Bill answered and I snorted.
"Yeah right, and I'm the Queen of England." I said whiel rolling my eyes.
"May." Sookie hissed and I turned towards her, she shook her head at me and Jason looked confused, I'd explain things to him later, he was fae too, he needed to learn.
"I am royalty and above Bill, he will answer me." I said to Sookie before turning back to the vampies, I noticed Eric look at Sookie with a soft look and smiled softly. "Sheriff." I said and his eyes snapped to me. "To answer your question, they were killed and I was kidnapped." I said and Eric looked at me shocked.
"You need protection." Eric said and then looked at Sookie. "You both do." I nodded my head.
"Yes, us Princess's need guardians and I have no way of contacting any family since my Queen is with the Sky fae and the portals to there are closed." I said and both Bill and Eric looked at me shocked.
"Sookie is royalty as well?" Bill asked, looking at her with slightly hungry eyes and I glared at him.
"Yes and I put her under my protection." I said and Eric looked at me weirdly, no royal had taken another, especially another royal under their protection. "Until I can get her and myself our own guardians." I finished and Eric nodded his head. He looked like he wanted to say something but his eyes flickered to Bill and I nodded my head once slightly.
"Wait a minute...if Sook is a princess...then I'm..." Jason trailed off and I turned to him and smiled slightly.
"I will explain later." I told him and sighed. "I place Jason and Sookie Stackhouse under my royal protection," I started and cut my palm but made sure my scent was completely covered, "I will keep them alive even if it means my death or worse." I finished and let my blood hit the ground. A light ring glowed around the three of us and then it was gone.
"No, May! You will not die for me." Sookie said and I glared at her, stepping forward.
"Please for once in your life think of what others are doing for you in a good way other than being a selfish brat." I scolded her and she blushed looking down, Jason wisely closed his mouth when I glared at him too. I turned back to the two vampires who looked like they wanted to eat me and strangle me. "I will contact you Sheriff in a day or two since I am in your area." I said and he nodded, backing away, understanding my dismissal and he smiled slightly at Sookie who just stared before he shot up into the sky. "Your majesty, I am sure I will see you in the future." I said and Bill nodded his head before turning and running off. I turned to Sookie and Jason with a sigh and my shoulder's sagged from exhaustion. "Tomorrow I will explain things, now I need to heal and rest." I said and Sookie nodded her head and Jaosn sighed.
"I'm gonna spend the night Sook." Jason said and she nodded her head but then shook her head.
"The extra room will go to May and you'd end up with the couch." Sookie said to Jason as we all headed inside.
"I don't care Sook, I want to be here." Jason said and she nodded, rubbing her face.
"You know where the blankets and pillows are." She said before smiling slightly at me and going down the hall and closing a door. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
"Hey, what you did outside...thank you." Jason said and I looked at him shocked. "I understand that you did something big, I don't really understand but I know it was big." He finished with a shrug and I smiled at him.
"Thank you Jason, for understanding." I said and he smiled slightly. "And you are welcome, would you mind showing me to the extra room please?" I asked and he nodded his head walked down the hall and pointed to an open door.
"If you need anything just come wake me up." Jason said as I walked in.
"Thank you." I said and closed the door after he nodded. I looked at the smaller bed with a sigh before stripping my clothes off and transfiguring a nightgown and slipping it on. I layed on the bed and closed my eyes, concentrating on healing and I glowed white and when my light dimmed I was as good as new. I rolled over and closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep.
I'd be forever grateful if you'd take a few minutes to review! Thanks!
