Characters belong to Charlene Harris and Alan Ball.
Eric looked at Sookie as if she was the holy grail that everyone has been searching for. His mind couldn't wrap around it. "What? You've found the cure?" asking both to Sookie and Niall.
"Not exactly, but it's a cure...for you. This wouldn't go to any other vampire." Sookie explained carefully with a little bit of worry on her face. "We are also not sure hundred percent if it will work."
"I'll take whatever possibility there is!" Eric said for once with hope and excitement in his eyes. When Pam told him that there were treatments to help a vampire live longer with the disease. He ignored the idea, he heard that before when it came to human diseases and give them hope of finding a cure. Eventually the humans do find a cure for every disease. However for some diseases take ages to find the cure, or the government simply held the cure longer just so they sell more pharmacy meds if you believe in conspiracy. "What do you have?"
Sookie held up her hands showing her fairy ball to Eric. Eric looked at the ball in amazement. His eyes looked at this beautiful light ball of energy that's swirl around brightly, like a moth to the flame. "Your powers?"
"Yes. Everything that is fairy or supernatural about me is in this little ball." Sookie explained.
"It's beautiful, like the sun." Eric said softly in admiration.
"This is your possible cure Eric, but... there's a cost... for me." Eric looked at her with worry. "When I use this power on you... everything that you and Bill loved about me that was special, will be gone. No more telepathy, no more fairy powers,...no more fairy blood. I'll just be...normal.
Eric couldn't believe it, Sookie still thinks that he loves her for her 'talent' and her blood. Then again he can't blame her for thinking that. After all that's why Bill got into a relationship with Sookie to begin with (because of the fucking queen). "Sookie...you are more than normal, you are extraordinary with or without your fairy powers. I've been trying to tell you that since the beginning. I just used your telepathy as an excuse for me to call on you..." Eric said sincerely. " In fact if this works, I hope you know, I'll never let you go after this. I love you with all of my being."
Sookie's tears started to flow "Oh god Eric...I love you too! So much! I'm so sorry for not letting us have a chance sooner." They gave each other the best hug imaginable. For still fearing that Eric can pass the virus through kissing. After biting that flight attendant, she's instantly a carrier.
"I hope you realize if it wasn't for this virus, not only I'll be kissing you senseless, but I'll be fucking you until the sun comes up."
"Well I'm counting on it after I get you better." Sookie said still with her eyes closed, resting her head on Eric's chest.
"Do you know how much it thrilled me to hear you say "I'm his." to the other vampires tonight. Even though it was just a diversion." Eric said softly.
"It was more than just a diversion Eric, I meant it. I am yours." Sookie said with all the love and devotion emotion inside of her. Eric not only felt that their bond that's still there, but he also felt a huge load of pride that went throughout his whole body. He felt like he won the prize, except this prize he'll cherish forever. Even if his forever lasts only within a week.
They both forgot that Niall was still in the room with them. "I don't mean to interrupt but, Mr. Northman?" Eric looked at Niall, showing that he's paying attention. I need to remind you that there's a slight possibility that this would not work, Sookie may sacrifice her powers for nothing." Niall was giving a silent hint to Eric that Sookie needs to be taken care of for this deep sacrifice. Even if Sookie doesn't think of this as a sacrifice at all.
"I'm well aware of that. That's why I want to hold off this healing until tomorrow night, because I'm seeing my lawyer tonight before I rest and I need to fix my will and testament just in case this doesn't work." He looked at Sookie knowing she's worried about him staying alive for one more day. "I'll be fine, my virus is very slow on spreading." giving her a reassuring smile.
"Very well, tomorrow night. Be sure you don't have anything planned that night. We don't know how long this is going to last."Niall suggested.
"Absolutely." Eric looked at Sookie with love and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight my sweet fairy."
"Goodnight my Viking." as kissed his chest where his heart would be. Then he left back to Fangtasia do deal with his lawyer and prepare for the best and the worst.
"So Sookie, shall we have more practice with your magic before you go to sleep?" Niall asked.
"Yes. I refuse to fail Eric with this. Literally his life is in my hands."
Eric drove back to Fangtasia with some hope that carried with him. Now his chance of staying alive became 50/50. I can't imagine what Pam's going to think. As he parked he saw his lawyer's car and he can feel both his children are still in the building. As Eric went inside the doors, his lawyer was already set up for their meeting. While Willa was just lounging around, staring into space in deep thought, and Pam walking towards him.
"Are you okay? Your emotions were all over the place." Pam asked in concern.
"I'm great, in fact I have some optimistic news." Eric gave her that 'I know something you don't know smirk'.
"Well let's not wait for eternity to be over."
"I might be cured tomorrow night."
Pam looked at him with wide eyes, within the century that he's known her he thinks this is the first time he'd ever seen her face with high emotion. "How?"
He's going to say one word with a smile, and knew this was going to piss Pam off "Sookie".
"What the Fuck?!" Pam screamed while Eric tried his hardest to hide his laughter. "She really does have a magical vagina does she?!" Eric failed, he started laughing so hard he actually had to take a breath. "What do you have to do? Fuck her until the virus comes out?!"
"Actually that would be fun it that were the case." Eric stated. Pam started to growl. "Hey!" Eric started talking on a serious note "Be grateful for Sookie right now! She's going to sacrifice her powers just to save my life." Pam stood silent, torn between hating Sookie for having Eric's full attention and loving Sookie for she'll save her maker's life.
Willa interrupted "So, your still going to be alive then."
Eric looked at her with uncertainty "Actually I'm not sure, there's a slight possibility that this will not work."
"Seriously there's chance that it will not work?!" Pam said in disappointment.
"Yes, but again it's a slight possibility, but I actually can say I have faith in Sookie that she will succeed in the this; because she has cured me before." Eric finally paid attention to the lawyer in front of him. "Hello Mr. Cataliades."
"Good evening, Mr. Northman." Mr. Cataliades was being a professional as best as he could, trying to ignore Eric's V-virus veins on his chest. He's known Eric for a long time, and now seeing him like this asking for his will and testament this late at night. He understood immediately what this meeting was all about. "What changes do want to make in your will?"
"I want to leave an account for Sookie Stackhouse and Re-do the accounts for my progenies Pam and Willa."
"Okay, is it appropriate to talk about money in front of your progenies?" Mr. Cataliades politely asked.
"Yes. Proceed."
"Well, Mr. Northman you have 5.7 billion dollars in total between your businesses, your estates, your bonds/stocks, your accounts, cars, gold pieces, and just plain cash. How do want to proceed?
"I want to at least give half to Sookie Stackhouse." Eric stated feeling the agitation from Pam and a shocked feeling from Willa.
"You've got to be kidding!" from both of them for different reasons.
"You're giving half to Sookie?!" Pam yelled.
"You're fucking rich?!" Willa asked with her jaw dropped to the floor.
"Yes to both questions. Pam you know very well why I'm giving this to Sookie, not just because I love her, even though that's the main reason."
"Because of her giving up her fae powers?"
"Yes. Sookie may not see it like this...but I do and so does her Great-Grandfather Niall Brigant." To me this is a very big deal of giving up your supernatural status and powers."
"Wait a minute...Sookie is literally a fairy princess?" Pam recognized Niall's name.
"Yes Pam she is." Eric smiled. "I would also like to appoint Willa an account and for her to set up with Isabel, Sheriff of Area 9 as her adopted maker, if I die."
"I will not have another maker!" Willa said with force.
"Yes you will, only if I go."
"Just by curiosity...not that I'm a gold digger or anything...how much am I getting?" Willa asked. Pam looked at her thinking 'You've got to be kidding'.
Eric smirked "Don't worry Willa, I'll take care of you. I'll make sure you have a nice generous amount. Under one condition, you will not get your inheritance until you've spent at least five years with Isabel under her instruction."
Willa growled in frustration "This sucks!"
"In my eyes, your still a baby." Eric reminded her of her vampire age instead of her human age. "Mr. Cataliades, lets finish this. I need to rest for tomorrow night."
By the time they were finished the sun was coming up on the horizon. Eric usually doesn't sleep in coffins, unless for travel extreme long distances under radar. For his condition, he felt it was safest to be locked up tight with a lock on the inside. He closed his eyes and for the first time in a long time, he prayed " Käragudinnan Freja, kan Sookie helande arbete. Vänligen vägleda sina händer för att läka mig. Jag kanske har vandrat denna jord i över tusen år, men snälla jag är inte redo att gå. Inte när min kärlek kom till mig till slut. Din hängivna krigare Eric. Välsignat var"("Dear Goddess Freya, may Sookie's healing work. Please guide her hands to heal me. I may have walked this earth for over a thousand years, but please I'm not ready to go. Not when my love came to me at last. Your devoted warrior Eric. Blessed Be.") As his vampire sleep took him, he prepared himself for tomorrow night. It will either be the end of him or a whole new beginning.
