Chapter 2
EPOV
Who is this woman? My mind is a void except for her face. I knew her before I saw her but what does this mean? She smells fucking good too. I want to fuck her, bite her and rub myself all over her. I can feel my fangs lengthen, they want to sink into her warm body and drink her until she's dry. What's this I can feel fear and pain coming from her. Ah, a bond then surly we must be lovers?
'Who are you?" I repeat impatience in my tone.
"My name is Sookie Stackhouse; you are in my home. Your name is Eric Northman you are Sheriff of this area. You know you're a vampire, right?" She asked.
"Yes. I know what a Sheriff is to. It's just my past, who I' am gone all that's left is a black void" I reply. She's inching closer and I'm having trouble not taking what I want. I can feel my hands shake and my legs tremble yet my body won't move forward.
"Stay back. You smell sooo intoxicating. I want to bite and taste" I say.
"You what? Oh, crap it's the fairy smell" she says.
"Mmmmm Fairy" I say and lick my lips.
"You will not bite me Eric or I will rescind your invitation. I'm going to call Pam, she'll know what to do and then I'll get cleaned up" she says.
"Who's Pam?" I ask.
"She is your vampire childe and your second in command. Stay here" she orders and disappears down the hall.
I can hear a short conversation and then the shower turns on. I follow the sounds and come to a door that leads to a bedroom, her bedroom. There's a door to the right that must lead to the bathroom. I can hear her crying, softly and I can feel her pain. I want to go to her but something tells me that I wouldn't be welcome.
I hear snarling coming from the house across the way. I know it's vampires fighting and as long as they stay over there than there won't be a problem. I stay and listen to her wash until the last possible second and then I head back towards the kitchen.
"Sookie come out come out where ever you are" I hear a woman taunt. I go to the window and look out, there on the lawn stands a red headed vampire. Her dress is torn and she's got blood on her face.
I watch as a truck pulls up and a blonde man steps out.
"Who the fuck are you and what are you doing on my sisters lawn?" He asks.
"Ah, you must be Jason Stackhouse. Your not as valuable as your sister but she will want you safe" the vampire says and grabs the boy by the throat.
"Eric, Pam.." Sookie starts but I clap my hand over her mouth and bring her to the window to show her what's going on. She's only in a robe. I can feel her breasts heaving against my arm. I can feel myself responding.
"Sookie I have your brother and if you don't come out he's dead" the vampire threatens. Sookie bites my hand hard enough to draw blood and make me let go. She bolts for the door and throws it open.
"Let my brother go" Sookie yells as she steps out onto the porch.
"You come to me and I'll let him go" the vampire says.
I can see that Jason is turning blue and I can feel resolve come through the bond. Sookie walks to the vampire head held high. The vampire throws the boy away and grabs Sookie and pulls her to her. She sniffs her neck.
"You will be my finest pet" the vampire says as she licks a stripe up Sookie's throat.
Something wild and fierce within me yells MINE and I'm moving before I even register it. I grab the bitch by the throat and yank her head so hard I rip it off. Blood explodes everywhere onto Sookie the ground and me. Sookie is screaming and Jason faints, humans.
"Sookie" I say sternly and she stops. POP
"Well done Viking, one down but many to go. I'll take care of this" a man says and a green mist envelopes Sookie and me. I hear another POP and the man and mess are gone. Huh.
"Eric?' comes a voice from behind me, I turn around to find a blonde vampire standing there. Something tells me that she's no threat.
"Pam" Sookie says and nods.
"Eric is well I see. HE has no memory?" She asks.
"No. He says he has seen me in his mind but everything else is blank" Sookie explains.
"Interesting. Anything I should know about?" She asks eyebrow raised.
"Eric killed the Queen" Sookiesays. Pam looks utterly shocked and I can't believe I just committed treason, yet I'd do it again if it were for Sookie.
"She was going to hurt Sookie" I say and shrug my shoulders.
"First Russell now this Eric have you lost your mind?" Pam says.
"As a matter of fact I have. You will watch your tone when you speak to me" I say my anger showing and my fangs down.
"Yes, master" she replies head bowed.
"Don't worry Pam, Niall took care of the mess. No one knows but the three of us" Sookie explains.
"Actually that would be the four of us" comes a voice from the cemetery. A vampire with dark hair emerges from the darkness and right away I don't like him. I inch closer to Sookie. Pam notices but holds her tongue.
"What are you doing here Bill? I told you to leave me alone" Sookie says and I can feel despair and pain so strong it almost brings me to my knees.
"Yes Bill why are you here?" I sneer.
"I tried to stop the Queen but she was too strong. I had to come and make sure you were all right. I still love you Sookie" this Bill says.
I'm starting to feel concerned all I can feel from Sookie is numb. I signal Pam with my eyes and then I pick Sookie up and take her into the house.
"Eric what.." Bill says.
"Go home Compton. Eric is still Sheriff of this area" I can hear Pam say.
"Not for long" Bill spits and I hear him depart.
"Check on Jason" I call out to her.
I take Sookie into her bedroom and put her pajamas on. She doesn't even register me and I don't look at anything I don't have to, even though I want too. I go to the bathroom and grab a washcloth and wipe down her face. Her eyes are vacant, she's lost in her grief. Fear grips at my dead heart.
"Sookie" I say. No answer.
"Sookie" I say a little more firmly, still no answer.
"Don't let him win. Jason needs you, I need you. The only light in the darkness surrounding me is you. There has to be a reason that I remember you. Come back to us, to me?" I plead but she's still unresponsive.
I cover her up and head out to the kitchen. Jason is sitting at the table.
"Sookie is lost inside herself. You must get her to listen to you. Dawn approaches and I have to go to ground. Help your sister" I say and head out the door.
Pam is waiting by the road.
"How did you get here?" I ask.
"The car is down the road a ways. You don't remember anything?" She asks.
"No. Just Sookie. We must get going" I say and we take off.
Apparently I live to far to get home so we are staying at the bar I own. We reach Fangtasia, what a funny name with ten minutes to spare. Pam leads me into the basement were two coffins wait. I get into mine with Sookie on my mind hoping that she will snap out of it and soon.
