EPOV

As I rise I'm upset that again Sookie is not next to me. Though she is close at least, I feel her worry and anxiousness in the bond. I open my eyes to see her pacing back and forth. What has my lover so upset? She looks at me, stops, and smiles but quickly goes back to pacing.

"What is wrong, lover?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? How can you ask that? We're supposed to be going to an orgy tonight." She whispers the word orgy as if saying it quietly will make it any less true.

I must calm her down, I'm not sure her frail human body can take much more. She wasn't anywhere near as amped the last time we went undercover to catch a murderer. Fuck, she wasn't this anxious when we were shot at by the church. I do not understand, I'd understand some form of nerves the first time she was going to an orgy if she planned to partake but she's made it clear that isn't going to happen. It is just another one of those situations that I won't understand because Sookie is different than anyone I've ever known before.

"Come here, min stjärna." I say and open my arms. I can tell a part of her wants to turn down my comfort and keep pacing but she crawls into the bed and into my arms anyway. I pull her close and rub the back of her head "There is no need to be so worried, nothing will happen, I'll be with you, you'll be safe. No one will touch you without your permission. We won't have to stay there long, you just have to read them, yes? We might not even have to go in."

She takes a few deep breaths and then pulls back to look at me. "Yeah, you're right, thanks Eric. What do you even wear to an orgy?"

"Last time I went to one it was in the 80s and I only wore the fur of the bear I hunted and killed with my own two hands."

Sookie looks like she doesn't know how to respond to that and eventually, she just shakes it off. "Okay, that doesn't really help me, Eric. I don't have anything like that."

I kiss her quickly before moving with my vampire speed into my closet and getting dressed. I come out in a trench coat which is covering my choice of outfit. "This is what I shall wear."

She quirks an eyebrow at me, so far not impressed. "Okay, go on, take it off already."

I smirk at her then unbutton the trench coat, throw it off of me, and stand in the Superman pose. She starts to giggle, which is good, my goal is to calm her down a little. I'm wearing a tight light blue tank top and pink Lyrica pants with light blue designs on them.

"Eric, oh my lord, why do you even have clothes like this?"

Pam had gotten the pants as a prank a few years ago and the only other time I've worn them was when I wore them to Fantasia when she bet me I wouldn't. She should know me better by now, I won that bet and my prize was having her do my sheriff's duties for a month. The fang bangers were even more insistent on getting my attention on the day I wore these. I know I have an appealing body, when I was turned I had been out in battle trying to find my parents and keeping my lands safe for almost two years straight. I also know my dick is bigger than most and these pants leave nothing to the imagination. I can tell my Sookie is enjoying the view even though she also finds it humorous.

She stands up and walks over to me then runs her hands from my chest down then cups my package, which was already half standing to attention, "Why Mr. Northman, I don't know how I feel about everyone getting such a good view of what is mine." She says cheekily, I guess trying to pay me back for all the times I've claimed her. But when she claims me it sends a bolt of arousal through me that I wasn't expecting. I never thought I'd enjoy being claimed by anyone, other than Godric of course. Sookie is surprised as well when she feels my cock jump at her words. I decide that pleasuring her was as good a way as any to keep her anxiousness away.

So I grab the back of her head and pull it towards me as I bring my head down to kiss her roughly. I wrap my other arm around her waist and pull her in so that she's right up against me then grind my cock into her, we both moan at the contact. I move my hand from her head and grip her waist so that I can lift her up and throw her onto the bed. She yelps in surprise then laughs but the laugh turns into another moan when I rip her panties off and get a taste of her. I groan in pleasure because her nectar is magnificent, I add my fingers to the mix and it doesn't take long until I feel her tightening around them. She knows I like it when she watches me pleasure her with my mouth so we keep eye contact the entire time. That is until she throws her head back and moans as she climaxes. When she is at the height of her pleasure I let my fangs come down and bite the inside of her thigh. It seems my Sookie is starting to have a biting fetish because once I bite her, it sets off another orgasm.

I quickly take off my clothes so they don't get ruined because I have all intentions of wearing them tonight then climb up on the bed to fuck her but it seems as if Sookie is in the mood to take the lead because as I'm about to enter her she pushes my shoulder, I quirk my eyebrow at her and she just pushes harder. Who am I to stop her from getting what she wants? I roll over and she climbs on top of me, she puts her hand on my chest and I watch as she slides down onto my cock. She might be new to the pleasures of sex but she learns fast and it isn't long until she's riding me fast, well for a human, with her head thrown back and my name on her lips. I sit up and rock against her so that my pelvic bone is rubbing her clit on every stroke which makes her moans grow louder. I play with one breast with my hand take the other in my mouth and roll my tongue around her nipple the way I know she likes. She surprises me when she cums again and instead of yelling her pleasure, she leans down and bites my shoulder hard enough to draw blood. The small amount of pain is enough to throw me over the edge and even though I just fed from her, I bite her again to strengthen our bond.

Sookie sags against me and breathes hard for a few long minutes until she pulls back enough to look at me with a small sated smile on her face. The way she looks right now is beautiful, I love to see her this relaxed and happy, if we didn't have something to do tonight, I'd gladly keep her in bed to go another round or five with her. It seems my need for her is not going to diminish any time soon. I see the second she remembers what's on the agenda for the night because even though she's a lot more calm than she was when I rose, the anxiety coming back into the bond is still enough to make me want to grind my teeth.

"Come now, Sookie. It's not that bad, I know this is something you've never done before but it's not as if you're really planning on partaking. What is it really that has you so uneasy."

"I'm not sure really, I just have a strange feeling about tonight."

Hmm, that might not be good, from what I've seen, when Sookie gets gut reactions it's best to pay attention to them. Fairies could have all sorts of powers that I know nothing about because they are so secretive. Maybe this is one of them. "We will be safe, Sookie. If something goes wrong it will take me no time at all to wrap you in my arms and fly away. We're only dealing with humans tonight, there is nothing to fear." Though I am going to pay extra attention to our surroundings and if anything gives me a bad feeling I will pull us out of there immediately.

"I know you're right. Okay, we should probably get dressed and ready. Well, you should get redressed." She says with a little giggle that makes my cock stir again. As I'm still inside her, she feels it and moans. I see her debate with herself for a few long moments before she speaks. "Nuh-uh, not again mister, we have to get going."

I hold my hands up in surrender, I can't help that she constantly turns me on, I'm not trying to delay us. She laughs again and gets up, we both groan when she disconnects from me. She goes back to looking through clothes and I quickly get dressed again. She ends up choosing a short dress that doesn't seem her style at all. It's bright pink, and so tight that her breasts are almost falling out of it. I wouldn't expect my lover to own such a thing. It doesn't look bad on her, she still looks sexy but I'd expect this to be in the closet of one of the fang bangers that frequent my bar. I must be looking at it strangely because she speaks before I can ask.

"My friend Tara got it for me for my birthday, she said I should be more adventurous and that it'd have guys falling over themselves to get to me. "

I vamp over to her, pull her into my arms and squeeze her ass, "Oh yes, you look delectable, lover, I've just never seen you in something like this."

She sounds self-conscious when she asks, "Do you like it better than what I normally wear?"

"I'd want to fuck you in whatever you decide to wear, Sookie. Though I must admit, I rather enjoy the outfits you normally wear."

She smiles, stands on her toes, and kisses me. When he pulls back she pushes me away, which I allow, it's not as if she could move me without me wanting her to. "Go on, get. We have to get ready to leave soon and I have to finish getting ready."

I chuckle, "Alright, min stjärna. I see I am too much of a distraction for you. I'll take my distracting body out of the room to speak to Godric and let him know what we're doing tonight."

She sticks her tongue out at me as I turn to leave and I have to stop myself from going back to her. I jump in surprise when she slaps my ass on the way out, again, I almost turn around to punish her but I stop myself. Yes, I see where she's coming from, she is quite the distraction to me as well.

I remember what I'm wearing when I get to the kitchen where everyone is and Adele stares at me with a blush on her cheeks while Godric quirks a brown and Pam checks me out from head to toe. I'm surprised that Jason is here and wonder what happened to bring him back though I don't ask.

He walks into the room, looks at me, looks away, quickly shoots his stare right back to me then down to my dick, then blushes and covers his eyes with his hand, though I see he parts his fingers enough to see through them. "Woah man, I don't need to see that. Why don't you put some clothes on?"

I want to scoff, it's as if I'm not standing in my own house, I can dress how I choose to. I don't scoff though, "I am dressed, Jason, this is what I'm wearing out tonight, Sookie and I have an engagement in your town to go to."

He drops his hand and opens his eyes widely in shock, "You're wearing that to Bon Temps?" He walks over to me and puts his hand on my shoulder, my first inclination is to take it off me but I'm interested enough to see where he's going with this. "Listen, I like you man, so I'm just going to tell ya. If you go to Bon Temps dressed like that they're gonna call you all sorts of homographic names and probably try to jump ya. My pal Lafayette has to deal with it every day."

Homographic? "It is of no consequence, even if they were to try to 'jump me' as you say, they wouldn't enjoy how it went."

He takes his hand back to throw them both up in the air in a surrendering motion. "Alright, I was just trying to warn ya."

Am I starting to like Jason too? As more than just the comic relief? Because I think I might be touched that he cares enough to warn me even if it is a useless warning. What on earth is Sookie and her family doing to me? To get myself off this worrying train of thought I turn to Godric. "We must speak."

He nods his head so I take the lead out of the kitchen and walk to my office. When we get there I shut the door. It is unnecessary because the humans wouldn't be able to hear from this distance and Pam can most likely still hear even with the door shut. I should probably have this room soundproofed too, I've never needed it before because I never had anyone other than Pam, Sonya, and my day man here, so it was unnecessary. Now that the Stackhouse women have come in and taken over, it might be a prudent move. No need to worry Adele or Sookie with the darker parts of being a sheriff. I'll add it to Bobby's to-do list.

"I have not had time to tell you what Sookie and my plans are for tonight. As you know, there is another killer in their hometown and Sookie is set on catching him. So we are going undercover to try to find out who did it."

"Really? And where are you planning on going undercover dressed like that?"

"I'm taking Sookie to her first orgy."

Godric's eyes widen slightly, it's clear he wasn't expecting that.

"Dear sweet Sookie is going to be joining you?"

I nod to him then explain the situation and why she thinks that the killer might be there or at least someone who knows something about the murders, I also explain Sookie's bad feelings and how she is usually correct about them.

"I will join you then."

I chuckle. "Sookie is already nervous I'm not sure that will help calm her down. Though I'd appreciate it if you were close."

He chuckles too, "Yes, I can do that, I'll fly behind you and be near so that I will know if something bad were to happen."

I nod, "Thank you, Godric."

"Of course, Childe."

I go back into the kitchen and nod to Pam, though we reconciled yesterday, I still have not spoken to her to catch up about what I have missed since I was out of town. I know if there was something she could not handle she would have called to let me know, though I still need a summary.

"I never thought I'd see those pants again," Pam says

"Yes, well, I hear they are making a comeback and it would be cruel to my fans to keep them locked away, I look too fabulous in them to not take them out for a spin every once in a while."

She just scoffs at me, "What is it you wished to speak about?"

"What happened while I was away? Anything of note?"

"Longshadow's replacement, Chow is doing well, he's got a small following of his own now and he enjoys sitting and showing off for the vermin. As you know, I've been using Bobby while I look for a new day man for myself and he is driving me insane. Oh, a maenad came to town, my first one ever but I did everything you taught me and gave her a sacrifice, so she left. The queen called twice while you were away, I think she was looking for information about you and Sookie though she did not actually ask for it. I gave her nothing, of course."

A maenad? I haven't seen one in probably 500 years, it is good that she dealt with it, they are not fun to have in the same area I'm occupying. I am going to be looking for a new dayman myself in the next few days, I did not like how Bobby made Sookie feel. I just have to take the time to look for one. Actually, that's something I can give Pam to do, she's very picky and knows my needs and tastes. Though what is most important about her report is the queen, I know she's after Sookie, I just don't know what her plans are. I should call Rasul again, The last time I spoke to him, he had no news to give me because she was keeping her plans close to the vest but that is not her style. Unless she's found out where Rasul's loyalties really lie, that would be unfortunate. "What exactly did the queen call about?"

"The first call she asked for you. I of course told her that you were not here and that you were traveling with your telepath. I know you already told her as much, so I knew that was okay to say. She said she'd call your cell. The second time she called she asked for your monthly sheriff reports and earning sheets. I know she never bothers herself with the trivialities of running a state so I knew something was off about the phone call. Plus the reports aren't due until next week anyway. Though, being the organized amazing second that I am, I already had them completed and since she asked, I sent them over to her. She's fishing for something, maybe she's trying to find something you're doing wrong so that she can use that as an excuse to take Sookie from you or use it as an excuse to make you stay close to her so she can 'keep an eye on you' when really it's just because she wants Sookie. I'm not sure but she's up to something. Did she call you as she told me she would?"

"No, I haven't heard from her though Hadley called Sookie."

"Why would one of Sophie Ann's pets know your bonded's number?"

I feel a pang of regret at her question. It makes me realize that I have been spending all my time with Sookie and leaving Pam out, just like Pam accused of me. I found out about Hadley's connection to the Stackhouses the night that Sookie and Adele came to stay with me, Pam did not get in her snit for a while after that, there was no reason I shouldn't have told her that information already. I must do better, I don't want Pam to be hurt or feel neglected. "They are cousins, it's how she found out about Sookie in the first place."

"Ahh, that makes a lot of sense. So what is the plan? How are we to keep Sookie from her?"

"There aren't many ways for her to take her from me now that we're bonded. Well, not many legal ways I should say. She could order me to her, and of course, Sookie would have to come with me. I guess she could lore Sookie away from me, though that obviously wouldn't work. She could find something that I've done that's worth punishing me with years in a silver-lined coffin and use the excuse of keeping her safe while I wait out my punishment. Though we both know she won't find anything like that because I'm too good at covering my tracts. That's where the illegal ways come in, she could frame me for something to punish me, or she could try to steal her and hide her away, though with the bond I'd be able to feel her unless magic is involved. I have a feeling now that the bond is known about, she'll go with a sneaky underhanded plan. I don't think she's brazen enough to try to take her with brute force."

I pause and shake my head at the foolishness of it all. Yes, a telepath is a great catch and an amazing tool to have in your arsenal but not worth starting a war with one of your strongest allies, not to mention the possibility of being put to death because those are the consequences of being caught trying to take one's bonded. The worst part of it is, that she does have Sookie in her arsenal, and she will continue to have her as long as I'm the sheriff, she's just too spoiled and entitled to be happy with that. No, she wants Sookie to be hers and hers alone. "I do not know but she's not the most patient being, I have a feeling something will happen soon. I feel better with Godric here, Sophie Ann doesn't know that he came back from Texas with us and won't know what's coming to her if she tries to come here for my Sookie." I end with a growl and have to stop myself from letting my fangs come out.

Pam stares at me for a long time, sometimes I feel like she's the mind reader because she has a talent for knowing what I'm thinking just by looking at me. Though it might just be the amount of time we've been together, I can do the same to her. "Yes, it is good Godric is here. She is my mistress now so I will do everything in my power to keep her safe and here with you."

I give her a small smile then put my hands on either side of her head, pull her in, and kiss her forehead. "Thank you, my child." I pull back and leave all the annoying emotional stuff behind. "Now, I must go, I'm taking my lover to her first orgy tonight." I find I might enjoy saying that sentence too much.

Pam quirks an eyebrow but doesn't say anything else. As I'm walking back upstaires I focus on the bond and realize that her anxiety is back though thankfully nowhere near as high. When I walk into the room I see her standing in front of the mirror and looking herself over. I wish we had time to take a detour back to the bed, alas we do not. I walk up behind her, put my hands on her hips, and pull her up against me so that she can feel how she's affecting me. I bend over and kiss her neck.

"Mhmm, lover, you look exquisite."

She lets out a soft moan but it doesn't take long for her worry to start again. "Are you sure this is good to wear?"

"Yes, you look great, Sookie. You needn't fret so much."

She looks herself over in the mirror one more time then feels a little excitement cover her anxiety. "Hey, I just realized our hair's the same color hair!"

She amuses me so. I flip my hair behind my shoulder with the same attitude I've seen Pam use many times, "Sure is, girlfriend."

She giggles at me then jumps and wraps her arms and legs around me then leans in for a kiss. Of course, I oblige her. Thankfully, she's pretty calm when I put her back onto the ground. "Are you ready to go?"

I see her straighten her shoulder and in the bond, I feel her psyching herself up. She nods at me, "Yup, let's do this."

There she is. I grab her hand and lead her out of the room. We quickly say our goodbye to everyone and I only now remember I still did not find out why Jason was back in my house. I make eye contact with Godric and he gives me a small nod of his head. Good, he'll be not far behind us. It's not long until we're out of the garage door, in the car, and on our way to Bon Temps,

I guess I should not be surprised that this is where we're supposed to go, especially in a town such as this. I've fucked in much seedier places but the only word I can think of to describe this dwelling is a shack. I hear the humans inside, they're all half drunk and reminiscing on their last get together. I look at Sookie.

"So, dear one, this is your plan, what do you want to do?"

She looks at me with a becoming blush on her face. "Oh, I sorta just thought we'd go in there and I'd listen until I heard something."

"And what about all the men and women in there that would want to partake in your glorious body?" I say and hear a little growl in my voice, I do not much like the thought of anyone but me enjoying Sookie's ample treats. It is a strange sensation if I'm being honest, I've always been a possessive mother fucker but I've never cared if someone that was mine enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh with others as long as I was there taking the enjoyments as well or I gave permission.

Her blush grows darker because she must not have figured out a solution to that problem yet. "We'll f-figure it out."

I laugh, "Okay, lover. If I must I will get the attention off of you by focusing it on me."

I feel a strong wave of jealousy and possessiveness in the bond. I did not think a human could or would be so possessive but again Sookie surprises me. No, that is all fairy Sookie, they're on par with vampires with keeping what's there's away from others. "No, that won't be necessary. You're mine, Eric." I swear I hear a growl in her words and I'll admit, again, it went straight to my cock. It seems I do enjoy being claimed, that's a little bit of a mind fuck.

I growl right back at her, grab her by the back of the head, and kiss her ferociously. She takes off her seat belt and climbs on top of me to start grinding against me. I put my hands under her tight dress and on her bare ass…wait, is she not wearing underwear? The Vixen. With one hand palming her ass I move the other one to unzip her dress when there's a knock on my window. I growl at whoever is interrupting us and look at them with my fangs down. A woman with blonde hair jumps in fright but I can tell in the next second she gets excited by my fangs. A fang banger in the making if I've ever seen one.

"Why are you guys getting started out here? Come on inside ya'll!"

Sookie's blush is back with a vengeance, "Hey, Sarah! We'll be right in."

When Sarah nods and walks away Sookie thumps her head against my shoulder and groans. I can't help but chuckle because I feel her embarrassment. What does she think is going to happen in there? There is no reason to feel embarrassed, we were being tame compared to what's about to happen inside the shack. "Come lover, let's go. They know we're here now, there's no point in putting it off."

I open my door and she stumbles out. Once she's standing she takes a second to adjust her clothes that I've thoroughly messed up. I stand and have to adjust myself. The bad thing about these pants is there's no support so anyone can clearly see how much my lover turned me on. I put my hand on her back and start walking to the door. We only take a few steps before she stops walking and cringes. "What is it?"

"Bud Dearborn is in there, he's like 60. He was the sheriff when I was just a kid."

I shrug, "Good for him. Need I remind you that I am many many years older than he is."

"Yeah but you're still sexy, he looks his age."

I laugh. "Yes well, it's not as if you need to worry yourself, he won't touch you."

She nods and keeps walking. "Yeah let's just get in there before I talk myself out of this. I can't believe Tara and Lafayette are here too. Actually, that's not true. I can completely believe they're here, it's just going to be awkward. Actually, they're probably going to be the ones surprised that I'm here."

We don't have to knock, the door is being held open by the same woman who interrupted us. "Come in, come in!" She says excitedly while checking me out. All the better, I didn't have to ask for an invitation.

"Thanks," Sookie says as we pass her by and I wink at her. I know Sookie is being very possessive right now but we have to play the part. I have to at least seem open to the idea of fucking a few of them.

"Sookie? What are you doing here?" Her friend Tara asks surprisedly.

"I heard about the party, when I told Eric about it, he convinced me to give it a shot."

"Oh Sookie, I'm so happy you decided to come, I've long wanted to get to know you personally." It takes everything I have in me not to throw the man who walks up to my lover and casually runs his finger from her shoulder down her arm, across the room but I must play the part. She shivers and I can tell from the bond that it's in disgust but the man thinks it's in anticipation.

The woman, Sarah I recall her name is, the one that clearly has a vampire fetish, walks up to me and looks me over from head to toe, then licks her lips, sensually puts both of her hands on my chest, and takes a few steps closer, "And what's your name, sexy?"

"I've been going by Eric for a few centuries now though my past lovers seem to enjoy calling me God," I say trying to act as if I'm interested in her. She laughs and I can smell the arousal coming off of her.

"Oh, I bet they do, you sure look like you know how to please a woman." She says flirtatiously.

All of a sudden I feel Sookie become surprised and the anxiousness she was feeling earlier is nothing compared to what she's feeling right now, along with much sadness, a little fear, and a lot of anger. I Look around to try to see what has her so upset but see nothing out of the ordinary. She's visibly showing that she's upset so I walk away from the woman and wrap Sookie in my arms. "Sorry, everyone. This is all new for Sookie and she's feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm going to take her outside and warm her up a little bit then we'll be back." I give the women and the few men who have been looking at me lustfully a suggestive leer before walking Sookie outside.

"Hurry back, the fun is just getting started!" Some woman I don't know says. I just nod.

When we make it outside I lead her back to the car but she stops me when we pass the trunk and pulls me down for a kiss. I'm a little confused but kiss her back until she starts kissing my neck. When she gets to my ear, instead of nibbling it like I enjoy, she whispers. "They're watching us. Just pretend you're getting me in the mood."

I don't know why she wants to do this but I trust her so I nod my head and pick her up so her ass is resting on my trunk. "Why are we doing this, Sookie? What did you hear?"

"It was a group thing, a lot of them killed Hoyt. Apparently, Hoyt was a part of this but decided he wanted to stop, and instead, they tied him up and…" She pauses to sob. "They did really bad things then killed him to keep him quiet. Something's not right here, Eric. These aren't bad people, I know they're not but they did something terrible." She cries softly.

I give up trying to pretend that I'm pleasuring her. I don't give a fuck about these people and can take them all down with one hand tied behind my back. Instead, I comfort her as best I can. I'm not sure how long we stay like this but I hear some people talking about coming outside to bring us back in. They assume Sookie heard someone think something they shouldn't have and know Sookie knows what they did. They all come outside, they plan to trick us into thinking they're just worried about Sookie but when they get close enough they plan to spray me with liquid silver so they can take Sookie. Obviously, they're idiots because they don't even realize I heard all their squabbles as they were trying to decide on a plan.

Because I am focused on listening to what's going on inside, I don't hear the stomps of a drunk man making his way through the woods. When I do, I turn to see a man in a sheriff's uniform obviously drunk waving a gun around and threatening to shoot everyone. Sookie is calmed enough now to realize what's happening and I stand in front of her in case a stray bullet comes this way. I reach out my senses and am thankful when I feel Godric almost directly on top of us. He's either flying somewhere out of sight or he's sitting in a tree watching everything happen.

"Who did it God Damnit? Someone tell me who the fuck killed Hoyt, I Ain't goin' down for it I tell ya! I have no problem killing every last one of you till I get my answers! If I'm going down for murder, you best believe I'm gonna murder the mother fucker who framed me!"

Fucking idiot, I'm all for revenge and I've been known to torture to get needed answers but this is no way to go about it. I smell the alcohol so strongly on him that he's just as likely to shoot himself over someone else. I just need to get him to look me in the eyes and all will be well.

"Andy, what are you doing? This isn't the way to get what you want. I'm here to catch Hoyt's murderer too. Why don't you put the gun down and we can do it together."

I let out an audible sigh. My bonded can never listen to commands, can she? Of course, she takes a few steps away from me so that she can look at the sheriff, his attention along with the aim of the gun moves to her. I grab her hand and pull her back behind me. I do not know how she's survived so long before she met me, she has absolutely no self-preservation instincts.

"Fuck you, Sookie. All this weird shit only started happening when you started attracting vampires to you like flies on shit."

My fangs come down at the insult to my woman, especially because he's wrong, I only met her because of the murders. I decide I've grown tired of this. I vamp over to him and the gun is in my hand while he's being held up at the throat by my hand. As I left Sookie, the people on the porch tried to get to her. Thankfully, Godric is here because he came down from wherever he was hiding and landed in between Sookie and her would-be attackers and kidnappers. I scrunch my nose in disgust when I smell that two of them pissed themselves in fright of Godric. Not many humans know that some vampires have the ability to fly.

"Now, now, what were you all rushing at my friend Sookie for?" Godric asks.

One in the group that has more balls than the rest attempted to take out the liquid silver to spray Godric but my Sookie warned him in time, so Godric was able to get it out of his hands fast enough. Since Godric seems to have the situation in hand, I turn my attention back to the man who's slowly suffocating by my hand.

"Tisk, tisk, sheriff, it was not very smart aiming a gun at my lover. I happen to take it very personally when someone tries to kill her in cold blood."

"S-sorry-y I w-was…" he trails off to cough and I loosen my hand just enough that he'll be able to speak a little clearer.

"You were just what, human?" I know I look terrifying because I'm looking at the face of a man that knows he's about to die. I've seen this look many times before and know it well.

"Whoever murdered Hoyt ruined my life, I was just trying to get it back."

"Ah, see, now I can respect that. What I can't respect is aiming a gun at the only one in the group that was offering you help."

The sorry excuse of a man breaks down in tears, he's sobbing so hard that I just drop him to the ground. If I didn't, I would have gotten some of his disgusting human fluids on me. Pam is correct, humans leak too much. I leave him there on the ground and make my way back to my lover and maker, who is glamouring the group of people. He looks confused though.

"What is it, Godric?"

"They are not taking to my will, someone already has them under their control."

All of a sudden I feel someone coming our way with a lot of power. It feels familiar, like something I've dealt with before but I cannot put my finger on it. Godric and I stand close, ready for battle if need be with Sookie behind us. When a woman walks out of the woods she has a happy smile on her face. The smile turns into a frown after a deep inhale.

"What has happened here? Where is the lust, the chaos, the drunkenness, and the loss of inhibition?"

Ah, it seems the maenad has not gone anywhere. That is unfortunate. She's been using these people to fill herself. She lives off of the lust and disinhibitions of the humans around her. I should have put two and two together when Pam told me about the maenad. I already thought it was strange that an uptight religious place like Sookie's town would have enough people interested in an orgy that it'd become a weekly thing. I mentally chastise myself, now is not the time to worry about this, now I must figure out how to get rid of her. It seems Pam's sacrifice wasn't enough.

"Callisto, it has been a long time," Godric says.

"Ah, Godric, yes it has. Are you here to help incite the party? We've created a few good ones in days of the past."

"Alas, times have changed and I do not revel in the same things as I used to."

"Isn't that unfortunate? What are you doing here then?" As she asks, she walks over to the sheriff and inhales deeply then moans. "This one has been drinking hard, just my type of man though he smells of no one else, unfortunately."

"I am here for my child and his bonded, you are in her town and some people she cares about have perished since you've gotten here."

"Oh no, I would not have come to this town if I'd known it held significance to you. Unfortunately, I cannot just leave, I am quite hungry." She says with a vicious smile and I pull Sookie close, I have a feeling it's about to be a blood bath.
