************************************************************************

"Wait before you speak or worse attack me; let me explain to you why I came in your dream. Yes this is only a dream Eric except the ones you witnessed before I popped in. That was all your memory. But first let me introduce who made all this possible my cousin Claude!"

A beautiful man appeared at the bottom of the tree with a smirk on his face. Yes, I said beautiful, that's how I would describe him in one word. Now I won't go into details of why I described him as beautiful because only girls do that kind of thing. Also I could tell that he was a full blooded fairy. Although I couldn't smell the intoxicating scent that comes from being around a fairy, which my guess was because this was just a dream, the pointy ears gave his identity away.

"Oh, such a nice treat cousin. I don't remember it being my birthday today. If you had told me were appearing in the dream of this delicious lad you wouldn't have to threaten me by draining me if I refuse to help you with my talent. Eric Northman right? Such an honor - the rumors don't give you any justice." He looked at me appreciatively up and down then focused on my groin (you know the famous gracious plenty), shook his head and added, "They might as well insult you right to your face for spreading those unjustifiable rumors of you in your birthday suit because trust me, their not even close."

"Well enough of your ego boost for the Viking cousin and let me talk. He definitely doesn't need those coming from you because trust me even I want to be pillaged in a very delicious way by this one. However, my love and respect for my sister, who is also your cousin by the way, is way too high. So back off cousin Claude - this Viking is off limits!"

I noticed Claude pouting after hearing his cousin's vindication. "Is there anything else you want me to do then? My self control is not that good you know, and you telling me to back off while you're obviously enjoying dangling this delicious Eric Northman in front of me is so, so not fair cousin and just plain cruel."

"Then if you're thinking that I'm doing this on purpose, why don't you produce some clothes to cover the goodies of my brother for a start. You're the dream walker remember? You control this dream so why don't you put some fucking clothes on him!"

"Alright, temper, temper cousin. Besides I can give him a dream and visit again anytime I want if I miss seeing those." Claude said, again focused and pointed on my groin. I would have plastered my trademark smirk and been amused if I didn't know that these two had dared to intrude my mind. They were still bickering and didn't even notice that I started sauntering my way to them.

"Claude!!! Remember we're going to be in the same room when you wake up!"

"Alright! Geez." Claude mumble some profanities under his breath that I heard perfectly before he snap his fingers and then I was dressed in a black button down shirt and jeans.

I honestly didn't give a fuck if I was dressed or not. I was beyond furious that this fucking fairy and hybrid managed to invade my mind and my guess was they would continue to do so if I couldn't figure out how to make them fuck off in my mind. They had brought about the memories that had been buried and long gone. I couldn't contain the rage that I was feeling right now for these two creatures so I didn't think anymore and released it.

"How dare you two invade my mind!" I growled at them. Since Hadley is still at the top of the tree I grab the full blooded fairy by the neck, unfortunately for him he was the closest one. He didn't struggle on my grip on his neck and just snorted at me. I heard Hadley say something but I didn't try to comprehend what she was saying then she was suddenly at my side, which is big mistake dream or not. These two were going to get it. But suddenly my back was on the tree and I was restrained with a silver chain wrapped around me. I struggled to break free. I thought I could move and breakaway because I knew this was just a dream but for some reason I couldn't. My attention snapped to the fairy who had spoken.

"I can't restrain him for long. You have to tell him whatever it is you want him to know." Claude said. I noticed he was now visibly getting sluggish and had sat on the ground. My guess was restraining me and creating this dream used a lot of his energy or magic and it was draining him.

"Alright listen Viking, now that you remember who the necklace that I sent you belongs to, I want you to wear it so she can reconnect with you. Angeluina has made good on her promise and found a way to be with you. "

"Is that so? Well in that case I want you to take it back" I told her with firmness.

"What!!!?" But….Why?" Hadley couldn't hide the look of shock and despair on her face.

"That's right; you heard me. You can take the necklace back. I don't want it, and I don't want her to find me." As I said the words, I noticed that I was no longer restrained. The fairy was still sitting on the ground but now clutching his head. I could tell by his demeanor that he had already reached his limit on attempting to restrain me. And although I wasn't restrained anymore I did not move from where I was, just leaning on the tree. I crossed my arms and gave Hadley a stern look.

"But I thought…"

"You didn't think Hadley you just assumed. You just assumed that in my more than a thousand years of undead life I wouldn't move on?"

"He has a point there cousin."

"Shut up Claude!"

"Give me a few more minutes and I will. In case you didn't notice your surroundings are changing."

"Oh!"

He was right; I also noticed that the surroundings of my dream were slowly fading. Everything disappeared into total blackness, but before it happened I heard Hadley speak one last time,

"I know you still love her Eric even after your thousand years of undead life. I just hope it won't be too late when you realize it and more importantly, admit it. You will find out soon."
