Thankyou so much for the reveiws they're so encouraging :) This next chapter is muuuuuuch longer than the first two because a lot more details needed to go into it.

Right Sookie think, what actually happened? The bad vamp almost drained you. You managed to escape and get into the house. Then you called Eric for help. And then nothing…….Until now. So during the time I was out Eric obviously arrived…..was killed by the bad vamp and is pissed about it, so now we're in this sort of limbo and Eric is trying to wind you up to make himself feel better about being properly dead by telling you you're a vampire. How simple, it should've occurred to me that was the situation immediately. I eyed Eric and noticed he was still in his Fangtasia clothes, tight black jeans and an even tighter black tank top. We may be dead but he still looked rather yummy. Eric just looked at me intently whilst I made my appraisal. "Haha Eric very funny. Look, I'm sorry you died because you were coming to help me but playing silly games with me, telling me I'm a vampire really isn't going to change anything so stop it okay?"

"Sookie I am not playing any games with you. I arrived at your home and you were the only one in the vicinity and you were almost dead, you only had a few ounces of blood left in you. You called me for help and the only way I could help you was by feeding you my blood and bringing you over. Now threr days have passed and you have risen vampire, my child." He focused on my face with a scary intensity waiting for my reaction.

"ERIC! I told you that's not funny. I am not a vampire. We are both dead! The bad vamp drained me and I died and unfortunately he killed you as well. Your pissed I get it. Hell if I lived a 1000 years and died trying to save some human girl I'd be pissed to but we are both dead and gone forever and you need to accept that." My voice had started to rise the further I got into my little tirade and I could feel the tears about to spill over. Ignoring me Eric strode over and gathered me in his arms, softly stroking my hair. I rested my face against his chest, feeling a slight ticked from his blonde curls there, taking comfort from him as the tears continued to role down my face.

"Shhh Sookie everything will be ok I promise but it is you who must accept what you now are. You are a vampire. You are my child. You shall walk under the moon for eternity." I sobbed harder against him; I just wanted to crawl into my own bed and go to sleep. She is not taking this well, even worse than I thought she would. I must make her admit to what she now is or she could become a liability…. I shrieked and sprang away from him, quickly forcing my shields ups Oh. My .God. I just read a vampires mind. I am soooo not supposed to be able to do that. Eric was regarding me with a look of surprise, my eyes dropped from his face to his chest and noticed blood dripping from a bloody patch just below his collar bone. "Eric you're bleeding!!! How did that happen?" He looked at me meditatively.

"Sookie you did that when you were crying. You laid your head upon my chest and cried and as you know vampire cry tears of blood." I gaped at him and slowly swiped my fingers across my face. My fingers were bloody. No. No. No. This was not happening. I turned on my heel and ran back to my house, through the back door and collapsed on top of the couch. I could hear Eric on the back porch. "Eric I rescind your invitation." I gasped two seconds later when he appeared infront of me. "You….Uh….But you……."

"Sookie the proprietor of this house is now a vampire and with that, a vampire does not need an invitation to come in and cannot be forced out through a rescinded invitation." Eric took my hands and squeezed them gently and said softly "You are a vampire now Sookie. I am truly sorry if that was not your wish but you were unable to make the decision and I was. I made the decision to save your life and one day you will thank me for it." He stared into my eyes, as if willing me to believe his words. Before I could answer I saw a look of pity flash across his face. And that was it. I knew he was speaking the truth. I yanked my hands free of his and start screaming hysterically like a thing possessed. I picked up the closest thing to hand, which turned out to be an ugly glass vase my grandmother had loved, and threw it at his head. Maddeningly he camly caught it and set it down on the floor. "Sookie calm d-"

"YOU BASTARD!!!" The whole table was next, I lifted it and flung it at him. It clipped his shoulder. Before I had time to rejoice the I'd actaully hit him I realized what I'd just done. That was not natural I should not be able to chuck tables around as if their pillows. This discovery just enraged me further "I DON'T WANT TO BE A VAMPIRE. HOW COULD YOU!!! I WANT TO BE DEAD….PROPERLY DEAD. I CANT. I WONT DO THIS!!!" With that I sprinted for the back door and just ran. I had no idea where I was going but I couldn't be near Eric after what he had done to me. I headed towards the woods that circled my house and just ran and ran, making the most of my new vampire speed.

I hadn't a clue how long I ran for but at one point I noticed that I was wearing a pair of jeans and an old sweater. No shoes though. Eric must have changed me because before I had only been wearing a pair of sleep shorts and t-shirt. My feet were covered in lacerations from the forest debris which littered the floor; I couldn't bring myself to care and carried on running. Suddenly I felt a jolt within me and jerked to a stop. My stomach protested more violently now in hunger or I suppose it was thirst now. The jolt became a tugging sensation; I felt it flood my whole body and had the urge to turn around and head back the way I had came. It was the most peculiar feeling I had ever had. I started to run forward again but the sensation grew stronger with each step I took. It grew so intense I found myself running back the way I had can despite the fact I had not consciously told my body to do so. I arrived at the clearing at my house and noticed Eric standing in the middle of the lawn. I continued towards him until I stood directly in front of him. Shit it was him who made me return. He must have called me to him through the Maker/Child bond thing. My stomach was not constantly clenching in thirst and was becoming very uncomfortable to bear. I scowled up at Eric.

"Sookie do not run from me again. You are a newborn and thus very dangerous to any humans you may happen upon. I myself do not care if you kill anyone but I fear you would be rather upset if you accidentally drained a human. We have a few hours before dawn and I'm sure you have some questions for me. Let us go back inside and discuss the situation. I know you have a painful thirst and I have brought blood with me to quench it." With that he turned and went back into the house. I followed him into the kitchen and watched him heat up four bottles of blood.

Almost as if reading my thoughts Eric said "You are a newborn and will require a lot of blood to sate your thirst for the first year but as you get older you will be need less blood and will learn better how to control the thirst." He plonked three bottles down beside me. Instantly the smell hit me. I yelped in surprise when I felt my bottom lip cut open. Eric started laughing. It took me a moment to work out what had happened. Then I remembered I was now the owner of a set of fangs. I gingerly stroked my tongue over my new fangs. They felt extremely sharp. I was about to tell Eric to stop laughing when I got another waft of that tantalising smell from the bottles. I picked the closest one up and downed it, not even caring about the taste. Although it didn't taste too bad, not anything like my blood used to taste if I ever cut myself and sucked on the cut. My stomach was still protesting so I grabbed the other bottle and began gulping it down. The protests in my stomach died down a little. I then started to wonder about the blood I was drinking "Eric, this blood, is it-" He cut me off quickly.

"Sookie no child of mine will drink that synthetic shit. All you need to know is that no humans were harmed in the process of getting that blood for you." I decided to take him at his word and left it at that.

Eric settled him in a chair opposite me "Why? Why did you turn me Eric? I know that I have never made any inclinations about wanting to become a vampire to anyone and that includes you."

"Sookie. I have only known you for such a short amount of time but it is obvious that you are a very rare type of person, and I don't just mean your telepathy. You are intrinsically good. A very hard trait to find in a human. Also you remind me of myself, you have a zest for life, despite everything you have had to endure. I could not let your life go to waste like that. And so I turned you. You may hate me for it now but eventually you will realize I have done the right thing." I just stared at him. I was on emotional overload. Fear. Sorrow. Confusion. Anger and excitement washed over me. Hang on a sec, excitement? I know I wasn't excited about any of this, so why was I feeling it. Even more confused I turned to Eric "Why am I feeling excited, because right now I really don't have anything to be happy about let alone excited?"

"My child you are feeling my feelings through the bond we now have. I think you were too distraught to notice it earlier, but from now on we will always share this connection, we will always be able to find one another and feel what the other is feeling." Surprisingly Eric didn't look unhappy about this. I on the other hand was not impressed.

"Well isn't that just dandy. So not only am I a vampire but I now come with un-detachable satnav. And you will always be able to tell how I'm feeling. Wonderful." I was being heavily sarcastic and Eric didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Sookie stop being ridiculous. You are alive and start you new life now. Embrace it."

"No Eric. I refuse to embrace being dead. Because that's what I am Eric. My heart doesn't beat and I don't need a thermometer to tell me my body temperature is way below 98.6°F" I quickly started on my third bottle of blood but managed to sip it down more slowly this time. Eric regarded me silently across the table.

"We must leave soon in order to make it back to my home before dawn."

"That's fine. You can go back to your home but I am already home and have no plans to leave any time soon." That told him. Or so I thought. With a sigh Eric got up from table.

"I have already told you. You cannot be left unattended in a place where you may come into contact with humans. And have you not considered that you will need a resting place for today and blood for when you awaken tomorrow?" I stubbornly refused to answer him, although his words were true I had not thought about where I would stay or where I would get blood from. "From your silence it is clear you had not considered these things. We will leave shortly." With that he left me sitting in the kitchen as he strode down the hall to my bedroom. I ran after him.

"Um hello this is my bedroom. Get out; you have no right to be in-"

"You are now my child Sookie and I have rights when it comes to every aspect of your life. And since you are being so stubborn I am packing some of your things to take with us to my house." He was rummaging through my draws and stuffing various items of clothing into a duffle bag I had never seen before.

"Eric I am not going to your house! I'll sleep in the ground again and I'll get some of that synthetic blood tomorrow. So you can-" I was cut off when Eric swept me up into his arms and briskly walked out of the house, locked the door and shoved me in the passenger seat of his Corvette. He was starting the car and driving away before I could blink. I wondered if being a vampire included being able to jump out of moving cars unscathed because I was thinking about testing that theory now but as I reached for the handle Eric's big hand encircled my wrist and he growled at me and to my even bigger surprise I growled right back at him. A gutteral animalistic noise. I was so startled by the noise that had just came from my own throat that I spent the rest of the journey in silence contemplating it. Eric never let go of my wrist.

Some innate instinct within me told me dawn was maybe an hour away just as we turned in to a long winding driveway surrounded by woods. The house at the end was surprising unremarkable. Just a two level white house. No mansion or water fountains or anything. From what I had gathered about Eric was that he was rich and liked luxurious things, so this house was the polar opposite to what I had been expecting. Eric must have noticed my staring as he said "This is just one of my many safe houses. My actual home is on the outskirts of Shreveport and would have taken too long to get to tonight. Come, dawn is approaching." He opened the door and headed upstairs. "I have two light tight rooms and it is up to you in which you desire to spend you day in." He indicated the two doors, which I opened and discovered both were basically the same, spacious rooms, decorated in neutral tones and big double beds. I chose the room to the right. "It will be sunrise soon so I will leave you now to give you some time alone." I nodded and took the duffle bag from him as he walked back down the hall closing the door behind him. If I were still human this would be the point I got a little scared because I was standing in the pitch black but now I could see everything with perfect accuracy. I plopped down on to the bed and rummaged through the bag looking through it for some pyjamas. I found a big t-shirt and slipped it on. I could hear Eric, wherever he was, tapping on a keyboard. He once said because of his age he could stay awake longer than younger vampires, like me, I wonder what he did whilst waiting for death to take him? What an awful thought, but then that's what I was waiting for now wasn't it? To die for the day. I hope it didn't hurt. I began to cry again. There was so much I didn't know about my new state. I got out of bed and opened the door, carefully listening to the tapping and making my way towards the noise. Eric was in a study at the opposite end of the hall. I stood outside hesitating as to whether I really wanted to see him or not, when the door swung open and Eric stood there filling the doorway

"Is there anything in particular you want Sookie or are you just standing there until sunrise?" For some reason this just made me cry harder. Eric pulled me too him once again, letting me bloody him again to, and just held me until I calmed down enough to speak to him.

"I….Eric I don't….It's just everything…." The tears started afresh and Eric swept me up bridal style and headed to the opposite end of the hall and opened the door there. A massive king size bed dominated the room, which Eric sat down on and cradled me to him like a baby.

"Sookie shhh little one it will be ok, you can stay with me and I will hold you until you rest for the day."

I nodded "Thankyou Eric." I was starting to feel drowsy now and was grateful when Eric laid down on his side and pulled me close so I could snuggle up close to him. He started to hum softly. I concentrated so entirely on the sweet lullaby he was humming that I didn't even notice myself being taken by death for the day.

Soooo? Was it too much? I like to know what you think :)
