So I know this is just going over old ground but I felt it need to be told from Eric's perspective to help build the story.
Thankyou for all the reveiws they are sooo appreciated its untrue :)

I awoke on the third night and quickly dug my way out. I stilled and listened carefully, listening for any movement below the ground. Nothing. She must still be unconscious. Whilst waiting I rung Pam and arranged for her to drop my car off and to get some donor blood for Sookie. One hour later Pam promptly arrived in my Corvette. She had thoughtfully put the blood into some bottles, which I stowed in Sookie's kitchen "As much as I would love to stay and witness Sookie's rising Master I have business to attend to, so I shall leave you to it. Enjoy your evening."
"I will call you tomorrow Pam when Sookie is more.......adjusted." With that Pam took off running. I stood silently, probing the newly developed master/child bond me and Sookie now shared. That to was silent. I sighed hoping she would awaken soon.
Two hours passed and still nothing. I impatiently started pacing up and down above where I'd buried Sookie. She was taking an inordinate amount of time. What if the conversion was unsuccessful? What if she ended up like Bubba? I shuddered at the thought. No, I told myself she would be fine, I gave her more than enough blood. I suddenly jolted to a stop as a wave of panic rolled over me. I smiled, Sookie was awake. Panic was soon followed by confusion. I waited a few more minutes. Right I had had enough. I positioned myself above where I had buried her and reached down into the earth until I hit her body. I grabbed her by the tops of her arms and yanked her upwards. I held her facing away from me, as she trembled slightly and her erratic emotions filled the bond. She slowly started to turn and I heard her gasp as she took in who I was. She started frantically rubbing her eyes as if not believing it was me who was really in front of her.
"Eric?" she asked uncertainly as confusion overwhelmed the bond again. So she didn't seem to realize what had occurred yet. Hmmmm.
"Sookie." I was unsure of how exactly to phrase what I need to tell her. She started to speak again.
"Right I think I'm dead Eric and you're here and I'm slightly confused why you're here. Although I'm not surprised you didn't get into Heaven given the whole vamp thing." That almost made me smile. "But I mean what happened? Did you die again, properly this time?" I didn't know whether to laugh or to feel saddened by the fact she still hadn't worked out the fact she was now a vampire. Well the sooner I enlightened her the better.
I looked at her steadily "No Sookie, I did not die "properly" as you put it. But you are correct about yourself, yes you are dead."I paused as I felt an intense wave of sadness go through her "But only technically."
"Come again." She asked me disbelievingly. This was not going well.
"Sookie you are only technically dead……because you are now vampire." Shock and denial rocked the bond as she just stood there silently regarding me. The smallest hint of lust was discernable for a split second. I was rather shocked myself at that and had to hold back a grin. This was not the right time; there would be time for such matters later.
"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?" Denial was quickly taking over.
"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 three days have passed and you have risen vampire, my child." I was trying to be reassuring but Sookie didn't seem to be thinking very rationally right now. I regarded her closely waiting to see recognition dawn. It didn't happen.
"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." She was starting to become hysterical and that is one thing I could not deal with. I took her in my arms and tried to soothe her, gently stroking her hair and telling her.
"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." She started to cry more. Fuck. I started to worry that if she didn't accept that she was now a vampire she might do something stupid or reckless. Sookie suddenly shrieked and jumped away from me as terror raced through her. Okay that was peculiar. I didn't have time to analysis that any longer as she gasped as she looked at my chest.
"Eric you're bleeding!!! How did that happen?"
"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." She stared at me open mouthed as she dabbed at her cheek. Realising the truth of my words she whirled and ran into her house, attempting to keep me out by rescinding my invitation. I chuckled at that.
Over the next three hours we fought, she cried and raged but she eventually accepted what she now was. I must say I was relieved when she finally did.
She continued to fight me over staying with me so I simply packed a bag for her, picked her up, placed her in the car and drove away. Sookie was quiet and I knew that she was mulling something over, as I thought this I saw her hand move towards the door handle in my peripheral vision. Oh that was so not happening. In a flash I had a hold of her wrist and let out a low warning growl. She instinctively growled back at me and she must have surprised herself because the look of shock and awe on her face was priceless. I wish I had a camera at that moment. She spent the rest of the ride in a meditate silence.
We pulled up to my house and I felt her curiosity and explained that the house we were at was not my main home. I could feel that dawn was not far away and showed her to the guest rooms and left her alone. Her emotions were a tangled mess. I made my way to my study to check my emails and to start the process of registering Sookie as my new child. I sat for a moment pondering on thoughts of my new child. I knew I would have my work cut out with Sookie, far more than I had with Pam. I would have to keep a tight rein on her to keep her safe and to help guide her through these next few curial months. I hope she adapts quickly and then the fun could start. I thought fondly of taking her on her first hunt, making her first kill. I knew she would do me proud......well eventually she would once she learnt to forget about her pesky human emotions. Right on cue an intense feeling of despair and grief washed over me. I quickly pulled the door open and found Sookie on the other side. She was bloody from crying and looked rather fetching in an oversized t-shirt that fell just below her groin. Focus Northman, not time for that......yet.
"Is there anything in particular you want Sookie or are you just standing there until sunrise?" She began to sob even more. How wonderful more tears.
"I….Eric I don't….It's just everything…." I soften towards her and picked her up and took her to my chamber as I realized she need comforting and closeness right now more than anything. I sat us on my bed and cradled her to me, like you would a human baby and gently shushed her.
"Sookie shhh little one it will be ok, you can stay with me and I will hold you until you rest for the day." She thanked me as she gradually began to succumb to the pull of dawn; I quietly hummed an ancient lullaby that my mother had sung to me over a thousand years ago. I gently placed her on the bed and pulled the covers up over her. She looked so serene in her sleep, so beautiful. I placed a kiss upon her brow and began to undress; I stripped down until I stood in all my glory and wondered what Sookie would make of me. I was almost certain she had never seen a male naked before. I found myself half hoping that I would be the first man she did see naked. And then I would see her naked once again. And then we could get to know each other's body's much more intimately. And then.........Sookie would learn about the circumstances in which she lost her virginity. She was going to find out sooner or later and I saw no point in lying to her, I would just have to ensure when she found out there was nothing of value about that she could throw at me.
I lie down next to Sookie and spoon her. Her soft body fits mine perfectly and I know that one way or another I will know every inch of her glorious body. Whether she wants it or not, it will happen. Most probably just after she's fed or during a fight. Her instincts to fuck something will take over and...........voila I will be a very happy vampire. You just have to love newborns.
You know what to do people :P
