To say Eric was not happy would be a understatement. He was pissed, his maker had just knocked him on his ass. Without warning to help me open the door. I on the other hand couldn't stop smiling. Even though my father was currently attempting to get me to leave. "Fae, its time to come home." He tried again.
"Your not going to like this..." I told dad honestly, the smile beginning to fall. "I love you, I want you in my life but your always so busy with work and Hoyt. It seems like I am always in danger, you wouldn't have made it past the last attack if I hadn't jumped in the way. I'm not saying that I don't want you to be my dad anymore, I'm just saying I can't go home. Please don't take it as I don't think that you can't protect me, you've proven over the years that you can. I just don't want you to get hurt."
"It's not your job to protect me Fae." He said. "I know that but you know I'm going to do it anyway's." He shook his head. "This isn't the time or place to have this discussion."
"When? Where? Cause it seems like lately every time we talk, we end up fighting. I don't want to fight." He chuckled lightly despite that this situation was so not funny. "I won't take you away from Godric but you are underage and I've been nice enough to let you have your own space for awhile but its over. Fae I am not giving you a choice."
"I'll come home." I said. "Good." He looked relieved. "When Sookie remembers everything, when I have done what I promised. Not a moment sooner." He slapped his forehead. "Why do you have to be so damn stubborn?" I shrugged. "Enough with the family drama before I rip your throats out." Pam threatened.
"I'm your daughter." I ignored Pam's threat and answered my dad's question. "Eric, I'm thirsty..." Sookie said, my dad instantly tensed and reached for me. "Sookie is unable to attack Faelyn, Eric has not had to make sure you were safe from her since you had not come in to contact with her yet." Godric explained. "I need to straighten things out with my daughter Godric. I owe her that much."
"You don't owe me anything, I'll come by tomorrow. I need to go to the police station and see Serena, then we can talk before I have to go to work." Dad looked around the room, his eyes landing on each and every single vampire. Can I trust these people? I owe Godric, I know that but Eric? Pam? Jessica? ...my own sister "They won't hurt me, besides if I get a vision about that I will just call you and get out." That gave him some comfort and he left even though he really didn't want to.
"Here Sookie." I walked up to her and held out my wrist. "Teach her, she needs to know and if she goes to far I can throw her off. Others won't be so lucky Eric." He chuckled as I felt arms wrap around my waist, I knew it was Godric before I even looked. "You need to feed to, you haven't in awhile." I told him and Pam laughed. "Well it seems we wont have to worry about you starving yourself." Eric told Godric with a smirk.
"There are rules, I hope your not offering your self to other vampires." Pam said, that blank look on her face. "...I don't even like that idea. So why would I do it?" I asked, just managing to suppress Bill's attack but it did remind me to ask what happened at the tribunal. "I am just making sure you remember Fae. You humans forget everything so easily." I rolled my eyes at her comment. "And you are a bitch." She smirked.
"Sookie." Eric said getting her attention. "Feed from Fae, listen for her heartbeat. When it starts to slow stop." She nodded slowly but right now i didn't think she was paying to much attention to his words. The things i do for family... I thought as her fangs popped out. I didn't get a chance to change my mind before she sunk her fangs in to my wrist. I hissed in pain but made no move to remove my hand. That would probably just end with it being snapped. "Please tell me that Bill was staked." I asked in a attempt to distract myself from the pain.
"Try ripped in half." Eric smirked, far to happy by this news. I could tell there was more to come by a certain spark in his eyes. "Godric is the new King of Louisiana." He declared proudly, i looked over my shoulder at Godric. He didn't seem to happy about it, in fact i was fairly sure he didn't want this at all but had taken the title anyways. The question was, why did he?
I felt it was not right to congratulate him, not because he wasn't worthy of being King and didn't deserve the title, He deserved it more than any other vampire i knew, but because Godric didn't want this. Instead i laid my head against his shoulder, only looking back towards Sookie when she forced herself to release me from her death grip and fangs. I pulled my hand back only for Godric to turn me around and draw his own blood and apply it with a circular motion to my wrist. I watched in wonder as the two holes disappeared.
"Congratulations Godric." Jessica smiled at him but i could see the sadness in her eyes. Godric nodded slightly, before releasing his hold on me. "Jessica would you join me in Eric's office?" Godric asked and she reluctantly nodded, hesitating a bit before she followed him.
"Follow me Fae." Pam ordered, not even bothering to explain why she was dragging me to the back. "Pam where are you taking me?" In answer she opened a door to reveal a sink. Disappearing she no carried with her a black dress and a pair of flats. "I would love to dress you up but now is not the time." She said before glaring. "You have five minutes. If your not done before then i am going to clean and dress you myself."
She disappeared, the door shut with a light snap and stupidly i sat there confused for a minute before i turned on the water and started to clean off all the blood from earlier. Tossing my ruined clothes in the trash, only holding on to them long enough to take my keys and money out of my pants.
Once i was clean, i got dressed. I was just putting the shoes on when Pam walked in. Hands on her hips. "Well hurry up." I rolled my eyes and slipped on the shoes. "Eric wishes to speak with you." She informed me before dragging me off to the main part of the bar where Eric was sitting on a stool next to Sookie. Pam left taking Sookie with her. Even though my aunt didn't want to go. Period and looked like she might rip Pam's head off.
"Things are going to change now that you are the King's human." He started off. "Other vampires will likely try to seperate you two since you have not fucked him. Nor have you both shared blood aside from what was nessary for survival." I was standing there eyes wide, just listening to him speak and really wishing i had a damn mute button. What the hell does he want me to do! "Fae there will be vampire woman trying to gain power threw him, they will try to get rid of you. Don't give them anything to use... your going to have to be a girl..."
He was referring to my usual appearance. My jeans and large t-shirts. "Go fuck yourself Eric." I snapped when he insulted me. "I have told you before that i have your aunt for that among other things..." I glared at him. "Hey dumbass, thats my aunt, your sadly my uncle now, I don't want to know about your sex lifes. Mention it again and i am going to get a silver baseball bat and hit you upside your head."
"I pity Godric." He chuckled. "I'm not nearly this bad with him, but then again he's not a cocky bastard who loves to set me off." Eric smirked. "I hear you didn't fight Pam on the dress." He mused. "I have every intention on burning it when i get home." Actually i didn't but now i just might to avoid that smirk. I definitely wasn't planning on keeping it though.
"You know what you have to do Fae, Godric's scent has to be apart of yours." Eric said seriously before he left. I was a little confused on all the subject changes but thankful i was able to keep up some what. However i was to late to reply to Eric's last sentence...
What i had to do...
Why do i always have to get myself in these positions...
I couldn't stop the blush from spreading across my cheeks as i thought of exactly what Eric implied i do.
