Yes to my lovely readers, I put up chapter 4! Again thank you for the reviews. For reviewer Sillygabby, I did think about what you said about the consequences of Eric's cure even before you mentioned it. I don't know how close I'm going to match my story with this season because I'm not sure what's going to happen with season 7's True Blood. If the writers are smart, they'll keep Eric alive. If they're going to be stupid and kill Eric off...Well I'm not going to be happy camper. So pretty much I going my own route with the story. Also to reviewer ashmo2000, to make you happy I used your reference, but I did it my way so it wouldn't be a direct copy-cat.
Enjoy! Characters are owned by Charlene Harris and Alan Ball.
Chapter 4
Sookie woke up around two in the afternoon with determination. She had a mission to do tonight and she made sure that there were no plans for the whole day and night. She needs let herself rest and relax for the long night ahead of her. Even though it was hard to relax when her stomach was filled with anxiety. Luckily Niall stayed over that night and slept in her Gran's old bedroom. That night she didn't sleep her bedroom, she slept in Eric's cubby. She needed to smell his scent that's on the bed sheets to comfort her while she slept. Which that led her to an amazing dream.
In the dream not only did she saw Eric healthy, but he was sunbathing with her in the back of a beautiful mansion with a waterfall swimming pool. He almost looked Fae himself. " Lover, please put more suntan lotion on my back? You know my skin is still way too pale to bare the sun alone without protection." Eric asked sensually.
"Eric what are you doing in the sun? You're not burning!" Sookie looked at him in wondrous shock. "You're healthy again."
"Of course Sookie your healing power saved me last month remember? Did you hit your head or something?" Eric smiled. He was glowing with happiness. "I know what can make you feel better." he smirked. Sookie held her breath for she knows that look all too well. He laid her down on their blanket and start kissing her with such a passion. He used his kissing as a distraction for his hand went crawling to her bikini bottoms and started tugging them down.
She stopped kissing him for a moment "Eric! We're not having sex outside in broad daylight for the whole world to see!"
"Lover, there's no one around for miles, and if there is someone watching ...maybe they'll learn something." Eric gave his mischievous laugh. "There's an idea, a special on the Discovery Channel: Vampire Sex, Learn It and Love It!" Eric laughed was cracking up at his own joke.
"You sure know how to amuse yourself." Sookie ended up giggling, even she was trying to stay stern. Until she started moaning as started licking her pussy. 'Oh God, so good with his tongue.' Then he added his fingers thrusting in and out of her "More Eric!" it only took him less than a minute to bring her to orgasm. He moaned for the tasty juices that came out of her.
"Sookie right now I'm the happiest vampire in the world right now, thanks to you. I'm healthy, I have you as my mate, I get to have the sunlight with you,...and...
That's when Sookie woke up. She knows in her faith that there's a heaven of some kind waiting for her; but in that dream it was heaven itself. Sadly she doesn't know how for half of that wonderful dream to come true. She just prayed that the dream she had was a sign for saying that everything is going to be alright. Eric will make it through.
She had cleaned and straightened out his cubby. For she had a feeling, she'll be performing her healing magic on him here. As she organized his Cubby and made the bed, she was curious of what was in the small table that was right next to the bed. A couple of books on top, all in Swedish. 'I got to start learning that language' Sookie thought. She opened the drawer 'I shouldn't be doing this.' but curiosity got the better end of her.
There she saw photos of her. She smiled and realized most of the photos were hers. 'He probably saved them when the house was being fixed after that Maenad'. Then she saw the photo of herself on the first day she came to Fangtasia. Based on the resolution of the picture, it looked like it was copy from a security video camera. She was wearing that famous white dress with red flowers ('vampire bait' Bill called her). Eric was wearing all black leather and his hair was shoulder length long. 'He did look like a god that night' Sookie was amazed how he was interested her on that very day. Gosh it felt like ancient history when came to she and Eric on their first meeting. Then she saw something that made her knees weak. She saw a little black velvet jewelry box. 'No Sookie, don't open it...you don't know whose it for or what's in it'. Sookie couldn't stop her hands for taking it as she was feeling the velvet texture...
"Sookie!" Niall called out. She dropped the box and came out of her trance that tempted her to open the box.
"Down here Niall!" she immediately put the photos and the mystery box away back into their drawer where they belonged.
"What are you doing down there?" Niall asked as took a look downthe ladder that led to Eric's cubby.
"Preparing...I think it'll be best if we did Eric's healing inside his own cubby."
"Yes, I think so too. We have no idea how his body is going to react with this. At least he'll be someplace safe if he needed to rest."
"The way I've been behaving, I feel like I'm preparing for surgery or something."
"It's good, always be over prepared than unprepared." Sookie just nodded quietly. Niall can tell she was nervous. "Sookie I honestly think Eric will be okay, in fact the way you are with your magic, he'll probably be more than okay."
"Niall, is there any chance that I might have some power left over, after this?" Sookie always wondered, how do you know really how much power you have.
"There's always a chance Sookie, for anything to happen. That's what so great about magic and the supernatural world. Many humans don't get why some humans are so highly devoted to the supernatural and spiritual realms. The answer is those want to believe in magic, prayer, high beings of any kind, are those who want to see the world as wonderful place full of possibilities and the impossible can happen. Others feel like they're more powerful when they do things on their own free will, even it means limiting themselves to a reality where magic and dreams don't happen.
"So anything can truly happen?" Sookie asked.
"We're in new territory, so yes darling. Anything can happen as long as you believe it. No matter how small your hope is." Niall gave Sookie a hug. "Now girl, I think you should eat something. Sundown is almost here."
Eric was already awake before the sun started to set. He still had to wait before he can go out. He too had the amazing erotic dream about him and Sookie sunbathing in the back of a mansion with a waterfall swimming pool. "Sookie right now I'm the happiest vampire in the world right now, thanks to you. I'm healthy, I have you as my mate, I get to have the sunlight with you,...and... he woke up before he finished the sentence. He didn't even know what he was going to say at the end, it was like his body and mouth were on auto pilot. Maybe it was an answered prayer from Freya.
The sun finally set, which for Eric it felt like it took its sweet time cause it secretly knew he had to be somewhere instantly. Before Eric went into his corvette, Pam instantly was at his side using her vamp-speed. "Do you want me come with you?" she asked.
"Not this time Pam, because it's obvious what I'll be doing when I'm better." he smirked. The worst thing that can happen is me returning with the virus still inside me."
"Look, I know I'm not the best child when it comes Sookie." Eric looked at her with concern. "Sookie may do many stupid things when it comes to you, but when she rescues someone from danger...she succeeds. Right now the person who's in danger right now is you. I know you'll be fine." Pam said with confidence.
Eric smiled at her with warmth. "I know I'll be fine too. Watch Willa for me, okay." Pam painfully nodded and started to walk away. "Another thing Pam!" Pam turned around to face her maker. "I don't want to remind you of this, but I have to. I sacrificed one of my happiness's to let you live in France. Please my child let me have my true happiness, even if it's in Bon Temps." Pam shed a blood tear. She knew she was being selfish, she has to let Eric go. She did take his happiness once, she can't do it again. His relationship with Sookie is more serious than the girl he had in France. Pam once again nodded and went back inside to Fangtasia with a different mindset.
Eric drove off to Bon Temps, where he felt like a new future was waiting for him. There's still a little bit of doubt in the back of his mind. Fearing that this isn't going to work. Like the brave warrior he is, he's just going to go forward in to the unknown.
Sookie felt like she was going nuts. This waiting thing is killing her. She had to do something to keep her mind off of it. 'I should practice my ball again'. So got out her magic and started focusing on her energy. Then she heard her door knock. Sookie immediately absorbed the her magic back inside before answering the door.
"Eric!" Sookie was more, immediately hugged him tight. Eric instantly wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "How are you feeling?"
"As well as I can be and very excited. Even though I'm barely showing it."
"Mr. Northman, are you ready? Is everything in order?" Niall asked.
"Yes, your majesty everything is prepared." Eric smiled.
"I think you should have some blood before we do this." Sookie suggested.
"No, even though blood keeps me alive, but at the same time it spreads the virus even more." Eric explained.
"You're kidding me?"
"I wish I was."
"Doesn't matter, you're going to get better tonight." Sookie said with determination. "I think it's best if we did this in your cubby, so please get down there and I'll be there in a minute."
"Of course my cubby is the best place, so we can instantly celebrate my health and our reunion." Eric wiggled his eyebrows in seduction.
Sookie blushed and whispered "Not in front of my grandfather."
"Sookie, for us supernatural beings, sex and nudity is just as normal and natural as eating." Eric reminded her.
"Oh so you want to have sex with me in front of my grandfather?" Sookie teased.
Eric whispered in her ear "I'll have sex with you no matter who's watching us, even though I prefer that your body is only seen by my eyes." With that he went down to his cubby before she said anything else. Sookie shivered at the thought.
Sookie looked at Niall "Even though it's going to a little bit claustrophobic down there but, are you going to be with me while I do this?" she asked.
"Yes, I'll be there to guide you. I just called Dr. Ludwig to come by because both of you will need a check up after this is over. Including to find out what happened to both of your bodies through this healing you're going to do. So don't think you two are going ravish each other after you're done."
"Oh please, Eric's already planned it." she gave a little giggle. She started going to Eric's cubby and came down the ladder with Niall coming down after her. Eric's already lied down on the bed.
"Mr. Northman, it is best if you took your jacket and shirt off please." Niall said and Eric complied.
"You know lover, I can't help but wonder if you've been sleeping here. I smell you all over the room. It's delicious." Eric said with a bit of pride.
"Yes. I've been sleeping here, you're scent calms me." Sookie admitted.
"Of course it calms you, we're bonded." Eric wanted to talk about this before they begin.
"When were you going to talk to me about that?" Sookie looked at him in accusation.
"I was about to when I got my memories back, but you wouldn't even believe me when I told you that I was the same man as the 'other Eric' you've spent time with."
"Niall told me we're married, well step one of it anyway." Sookie said as a statement, but Eric knew it was a question.
"Yes min kärlek (My Love) it's true. When I'm better we'll finish what we've started. Including more ceremonies to put us even closer if possible." Sookie quickly turned her thoughts to the little black box in the drawer. Just as quickly as she thought about it, she dropped it. There were more important things to conquer today. Eric finished taking off his jacket and shirt. Sookie looked at his beautiful body covered with black veins. She can see that the veins were now trying to reach his neck.
"We have to do this tonight." Sookie brought on her determination again. It dawned on her that she was at war again. She gotten so used to people trying kill her from Rene, the Fellowship of the Sun, Mary-Anne, Russell Edgington, Marnie, to Warlow and others in between. Now she's at war with a virus. This virus has her lover, her mate, hostage and it can easily kill him whenever it wanted to. "Eric lay down on the bed." Eric was about to make a sexy comment, but he knew better to keep his mouth shut right now. He needs his Sookie to concentrate.
"Okay, Sookie." Niall started to instruct. "Create the ball." Sookie started gathering her energy together and formed a small magic ball. "Now as you let it grow think of healing and loving thoughts just like I taught you." Sookie focused on the ball getting bigger, while she was doing that she looked at Eric beautiful face. He gave her a loving smile. Sookie's love poured into the ball and it got bigger. It's energy kept on swirling around like the actual sun. She started going through all of the memories of her and Eric. From their first meeting at Fangtasia, Eric rescuing her from the church, him say goodbye to Godric, to the erotic dreams, to caring for him without his memories, and making love to him the first time under the moon. Then her mind went into seeing Eric as the strong Viking warrior fighting against anything that came his way.
"Okay Sookie, carry the ball and hover it over Eric's chest where his heart will be." Sookie did exactly what Niall told her. She was starting to feel a little lightheaded. "Alright Sookie, on the count of three you're going to push the ball into him along with all your love and healing emotion. Do you understand?" Sookie nodded. She looked at Eric one more time and mouthed 'I love you' to him. Eric mouthed 'I love you' back as he closed eyes ready to brace whatever feeling he was going to have.
"One...Two... Sookie took a deep breath...Three!" Sookie pushed all of her magic into Eric as his body was glowing so brightly that the whole room lit up into nothing but a bright white light. As all the energy went into Eric's body...Sookie fainted on to the floor.
