(This message is the same on all three stories The Gift from Sookie to Save Eric, The Living Painting, and The True Ending Becomes the True Beginning).

Thank you all dear readers for your comments, favorites, and followers. I apologize for the late update. Having my new job and tiring hours has left me exhausted. Plus I 'm writing not only these three stories but I'm also writing another story that I'm willing to have publish.

Plus I was in mourning...for my beloved cat has died unexpectedly. She was my baby. While I'm still visiting my mother, my father was watching over my cat back at home. This was such a shock, I cried my heart out. My cat was only three years old and there was nothing wrong with her (or so I thought). She died from a heart disease that's very common in cats. Vets to this day, don't know what causes this and it's undetectable until it's too late. The Vet has told my dad that I took very good care of her. There was nothing I could have done any better. Cats with this heart disease has a 1-8 year lifespan. For those who are reading this and has a cat...the disease is called Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The only way to find this thing is through a sonogram. An X-ray would not pick this up. Just so you know, there's no cure. For the cat to live longer is for him/her to eat specific cat food that has the ingredient to help the heart. So that's my sob story. I still cry to this very day.

By the way, to my beloved readers...do any of you work as a literary agent or work in a publishing company? If any of you are and love my work please contact me through private messaging and tell me what you represent. If you are professional in this area, then please excuse my mistakes with spelling and grammar. Many times these stories were rushed to being published for several reasons. Thank You.

Don't worry readers, no matter how late I update. I won't leave a story hanging. Anyway on with the story! Thank You for your patience.

P.S. For those who speak Swedish, I apologize ahead of time if the language is wrong. I got the translation from Google translator.

Sookie was beyond excited as she was looking out the window of the plane. A thirteen hour flight from Shreveport, Louisiana to Stockholm, Sweden. First time ever for her to be out of the United States. Seeing where Eric grew up...or somewhat close to it, gives Sookie a feeling of being more connected to Eric. He promised her that he's going to bring her to Viking museums, landmarks, and give her his history and heritage. Sookie was thrilled. She was going to know Eric's beginnings before he became a vampire. In Sookie's eyes it just makes Eric seem more human.

Before they left, Eric got Sookie a little present. For not only the trip but for their relationship. Sookie was now committed to Eric, so he got her a Rosetta Stone language program in Swedish. Even though Eric will be teaching Sookie his language but this is for when he's resting and can't provide the information.

Eric was in his travel coffin sleeping, the same goes for Pam. Sookie felt like every once in a while she felt like she had to check on them. Making sure that their travel coffins weren't disturbed in a way. They were flying in a private jet. There were full dining foods and drinks for both human and vampire parties. Including tons of movies to watch from to occupy the time. Sookie went to Eric's travel coffin and touched the cover. She laid her head down and closed her eyes trying to feel Eric through their bond. For a couple of minutes later she felt love and comfort coming from him. Sookie smiled as she looked out the plane window again. The sun was setting, she knew at this point in time that Eric is awake. He was just waiting for the sun to set.

"Bra kväll, Eric (Good Evening, Eric)." she said to the closed coffin in Swedish. Sookie wanted to show him that she's learning. She felt major waves of pride emotion coming from him. "Jag har saknat dig (I missed you)." she kissed the lid of his travel coffin. Then she went back into her seat and did more Swedish language studying.

An hour went by. Sookie was so engrossed into the program that she didn't hear Eric walked to her and sat down by the seat next to her and started kissing her neck with little nip bites. "Ah!" she jumped and then laughed when Eric continued his little vampire hickey kisses around her neck and shoulder. "You startled me!" Eric smirked.

"Jag har saknat dig också min älskare. Min gudinna. Jag vill bara hänföra dig. Du vänder mig på när du talar svenska. Jag hoppas att du lär dig fula ord på svenska. Så du kan använda dem i sovrummet. (I missed you too my lover. My goddess. I just want to ravish you. You turn me on when you speak Swedish. I hope you learn dirty words in Swedish. So you can use them in the bedroom.)" Eric kept kissing her as he was talking to her in Swedish. Of course Sookie was still in the beginners level that she didn't understand a word he said.

"Eric, honey...I didn't understand a word you said." Sookie said giggling.

Eric mocked being hurt "What? How could you not understand me? Is this Rosetta Stone thing not working? It said you can learn the language within 15 minutes!"

Sookie rolled her eyes as she was trying to stop herself from laughing out loud. She loved it when he was being playful. "Not the whole language, Eric! Just several words. A sentence maybe."

"Then that's false advertising!" Eric said chuckling as Sookie was laughing with him. Then Eric kissed her on the lips passionately. He let his tongue slide inside her mouth tasting her as she was tasting him. Sookie and Eric went from playful to lustful in a matter of seconds. That's one the things Sookie loved about her relationship so far with Eric, he gets turned on by her no matter what they're doing. They started to moan in pleasure as they got to touching some sensitive areas of their bodies through the clothing.

Then they heard "Go and get a fucking room." Pam said dryly. Sookie didn't realize that she was almost ready to have sex with Eric on the plane in front for the flight attendants to see. Eric growled at Pam for her interuption...again.

"Pam. You have seen me have sex before with other women...in front of you and sometimes...next to you!"

"Eric!" Sookie blushed for his bluntness. "Come on, we can't have sex on the plane!"

Eric raised his eyebrow at her and at the same time gave her a smirk that says 'try me'. "Lover, hur jag inbjuder dig att bli medlem i Mile High Club? Jag ska gärna hjälpa dig att bli medlem. (Lover, how about I invite you to become a member of the Mile High Club? I'll gladly help you become a member)." Sookie still didn't understand a word he said. Of course Pam did and she was snickering.

"Again honey, I don't understand a single word...except lover. That part I got and something about a Mile High Cub."

At this point Pam was laughing at Sookie's innocence, "Sookie, he just invited you to have sex with him on the plane. That's what the Mile High Club is and he wants you to be a member."

"Do people really do that on planes?!"

"They try to. Unfortunately many of the flight attendants try to stop that kind of fun especially after September 11th. Everything became strict when comes to flying. Since this is a private plane we can do what we please, lover." Eric said seductively.

"Eric Northman, I may be commited to you and I'm planning to be in your life for the rest of my days on earth. However I'm not going to have sex with you on the plane with some people watching! I'm still a lady despite all the supernatural experiences that I have went through." Eric pouted and felt a little disappointed. "I just thought we going to have a little bit of fun."

"Sorry baby." Eric growled annoyingly when Sookie called him that or any woman for that matter. He was over a thousand years old and women for some reason kept wanting to call him baby.

One of the flight attendants overheard the conversation. When she first saw Eric, she immediately thought that he'll take a bite out of her instead of the fangbanger he came with. She had no idea how much Sookie means to Eric. She came using her best sexy walk and gave Eric a seductive smile. "Sir, we'll be landing in Stolkhom in just about an hour. Would you like anything to eat or have any other needs taken care of?" Sookie's head shot up when she heard the flight attendant's offer. Not only the offer got her blood boiling but her thoughts were pornographic images of Eric and herself having primal sex in the in the plane's lavatory. Eric felt this anger and extreme need of possession coming from Sookie. He stared at her wondering what is going to do.

Then Sookie was going to do something that she thought she was never going to do. Only just a couple of minutes ago she told Eric and Pam she wasn't going to have sex with him on the plane. Luckily for her she was wearing a knee length dress, which means easy access and coverage. Sookie got out of her seat and staddled Eric right in front of the flight attendant. She used both of her hands to cradle Eric's face and kissed him passionately while grinding her hips against his. Eric moaned loudly in pleasure as he kissed Sookie back with passion while grinding hips against hers. Then Sookie stopped and looked at the flight attendant. "Mam, this sexy vampire you're serving is MINE! He only feeds and gets pleasure from ME! How dare you offering services, when I sitting right next to him!" Eric was bewildered, shocked, and fulled with lust when Sookie had just let her possesive side through. Eric loved it and turned him on to an extremly high level.

The flight attendant got pissy with a scowl look on her face. She walked away thinking 'Fucking Slut, she doesn't deserve him.'

Sookie was just about to say something back at her for her insulting thought. Eric had other ideas, he grabbed her face and started kissing her that is filled with lust and desire. At that moment Sookie's shyness went away. Eric unzipped his pants and pushed Sookie's panties to the side and slid inside her. Both of them moaned at the connection and started moving into a rythem, totally oblivious to anyone who's there.

"Unbelievable!" Pam moaned in complaint with her fangs out. "Wasn't it just a couple of minutes ago she said she would never have sex on the plane?! Because it was unladylike?!" Pam said mimicking Sookie's accent and voice tone.

Eric kept thrusting his hips as he responded to Pam's remark " Ah...oh yeah!...What's wrong Pamela? Oh!... Jealous?"

"Of course. You get laid and have fun, while I get none."

Eric kissed Sookie's top breasts that were exposed through the dress. "Take the flight attendant...hmmm...I'm sure you can pursue her to join you." Pam arched an eyebrow. She got up to pursue her moment in the Mile High Club.

Sookie looked at him in question "Honey, the flight attendant is not...Oh!... a lesbian."

Eric gave one last thrust inside of Sookie before they both climaxed. Their sexual union was so quick and extreme because of the people nearby watching. Sookie had no idea that this was so pleasurable. Letting others know that you're having sex and not caring what other people think. They both calmed down from their high.

"Lover, that doesn't stop Pam at all. Most of the time they'll accept her offer. Doesn't matter that they're straight." Eric gave Sookie a passionate kiss as he carefully slid out of her and zipped his jeans. "By the way lover, I love it when you're possessive over me. You have no idea how much that turns me on."

Sookie kissed him back in return "I think I have the idea." then she returned to her seat right next to him.

Out the window of the plane she was seeing islands of cities down below. Eric hovered over her shoulder to take a look himself. "We're probably over Ireland or England right now." Sookie's excitement grew for they were close to Eric's homeland. Eric held her hand and gave her a smile. "Can't wait lover?"

"This trip is going to be amazing." Sookie felt like a kid going on an adventure. Eric had seen pretty much seen the whole world because he's so old. Through Sookie and his new relationship with her. He's going to see it with new eyes.
