This is my first fanfiction but I am a huge fan of the SVM & True Blood.

I don't not own these characters I just wanted to see what I could do to mix it up.

Please Note: Adult content!

Chapter 1-

Eric casually walked out the employee entrance at the back of his bar. Fangtasia was dreadfully boring this evening and he needed to get out of there before he took the limbs off of one of the nasty vermin that chose to make him an even wealthier vampire. As he walked he heard someone struggling, he sensed fear and anger. His head snapped up and he began to scan the area. A woman's voice was clearly telling someone to "Stop!" There was a large thump like someone was being pushed up against a car with great force. Eric smirked thinking one of his patrons decided to use the employee parking lot again for one of those once in a lifetime experiences they craved that brought them to his bar every evening, blood and sex. The woman's voice got louder this time while she was telling someone "No! Leave me alone!"

Damn it, he thought to himself. Now he would have to investigate the scuffle. As he started to walk over to the darkened area on the end of the lot he saw a woman fighting with another vampire. Eric was instantly furious but before Eric could reach them the vampire took off in a blur pushing the woman to the ground. Any vampire with any common sense knew that they couldn't waltz in and get away with this kind of behavior in his area! Someone would pay he thought to as he bent down to help the woman off the ground. Eric Northman was rarely speechless but this was one of those occasions. The woman was beautiful with big brown eyes, shouldered length curled hair the color of straw, skin that the sun had gracefully kissed and she had have amazing curves. He took her by the arm and helped pull her to her feet. Clearing his thoughts and this throat he asked the woman "Are you alright?"

She looked up at his 6 foot 5 inch frame and gasped. "No! That monster just took my purse! Damn it!" She began to dust her self off and looked down at her ripped slacks and whined "Crap! How am I going to get home? He has my purse, my keys, money….Everything!"

Eric looked at her now reddening face and said the first thing that came to mind. "Can I be of any help? By the way what are you doing in the back of my bar with a vampire?"

Now she was seemed even angrier and glared at him with her eyes on his face and exclaimed "I am not an idiot! I usually park in the front of my business but of course there was no where to park with all the cars in front tonight. I was just walking out the back door to go to my car and out of no where Mr. Mugger jumped me. So, no! I wasn't out in the back of your bar with some vampire!" Ah, now it made sense. She was the new tenant of the end of the building who just opened some type of vintage book store. Hadn't Pam mentioned of it to him a few weeks ago in passing?

"I would be glad to give you a ride if you need one. I was just leaving myself. It would be no trouble to drop you at your home. Or the locksmith could be here in no time to get into your car if you would rather wait." She considered his options then huffed to him "Thank you for your help. Would you mind dropping me at home? I can get the auto club out in the morning to get my car. My neighbor has a spare key to my apartment. It would be great if you could just drop me off."

"This way." Eric directed her to his corvette. He opened the door for her, helping her in the low seated car and then got in the drivers seat turning the key to the ignition as he did. The car roared to life and they were off. As they pulled onto the road she gave him directions to where she lived. He was familiar with the area and knew he would have her deposited home within 15 minutes. Turning to look at her he decided to ask her a question he rarely asked breathers. "What is your name?" She had been looking out the passenger window and turned to look at him. All he could think was she was breathtakingly beautiful and she smelled remarkable. She got a good look at him at that moment too. He had the bluest eyes, a sapphire blue if she had to put a name to them, his hair was ash blonde cut short but his bangs were a little long in the front he combed back, neatly trimmed sideburns, but a little five o'clock beard coming through, and the fullest mouth and longest sexiest neck on any one she had ever seen. "Sookie, Sookie Stackhouse." Eric smiled and replied, "I am Eric Northman. Sorry to meet you under such circumstances Miss Stackhouse." She just giggled. He looked at her another moment and swore she was glowing. Shaking his head he turned his attention back to the road. Several silent moments went by when Sookie asked "Did you happen to recognize the creep that took my purse? I mean I know you couldn't possibly know every vampire but I was hoping you might have gotten a look at him so I could hunt him down and stake him for taking my purse." Eric looked shocked and she giggled again. "I am only kidding Mr. Northman. I am just really mad. I loved that purse." Eric laughed, relieved. She had some guts this one. He was sure she had no idea she just told one of the Sheriffs of Louisiana she was going to stake one of his own. Even if he caught the guy he definitely would have some unusual punishment to face for attacking a human in public especially since it occurred on his premises. Ever since vampires had the great reveal two years ago it was just not wise to hurt humans where it could be discovered. "No Sookie, I am sorry I didn't see him at all. He was fleeing as soon as I began to get closer to you both. Can you describe anything about him to me and maybe I might be able to help you figure out who he may be? It may be difficult but I don't believe it is impossible. I have many interactions with those of my kind." He would defiantly remember the vampires scent.

Sookie began to describe the attack to Eric. She had an impeccable memory with details of smells, sounds around her as well as a good description of his appearance and everything he spoken to her during the altercation. For a tiny human she seemed to be well composed considering she was just accosted in a dark parking lot all alone. Eric took in all the details for use for later.

After a few more minutes Eric turned the car into the drive way of the building Sookie lived in. Turning off the car Eric came around the passenger side and opened the door to assist her getting out by taking her hand. She looked at him "Thank you Mr. Northman. Would you like to come in? Please let me offer you a drink for your trouble. It's the least I can do." She turned and headed toward the building and Eric followed enjoying the view of her backside.

Sookie knocked then opened the first door she came too and she started calling "Mark! Mark! It's me. Are you here?" Down the hall of the apartment a male voice replied "Be right there." Sookie turned to Eric to smile a huge smile then turned back to see the male walk our direction. He was tall, a few inched shorter than Eric, with dark collar length hair that was long over due for a cut. He had the most intense emerald color eyes Eric had ever seen. A ping of jealousy flared in Eric as he began to develop ideas of Sookie and this man together intimately as they embraced each other. He almost growled from the thought but contained himself. "I am so glad you're here, hun! Some a-hole snatched my purse outside of the building I rent from Mr. Northman. Luckily he came out when he did to help or who knows what might have happened. He got my keys and my purse Mark! Can you believe it?" The man known as Mark looked Eric up and down sizing him up. Eric knew he was sure he was not at all happy to see him accompanying Sookie. 'Makes two of us, Eric thought to himself. Mark asked all the right questions. 'Was she alright? Did she need to go back and get her car? Could he do anything to help her?' She just smiled that beaming smile assuring him that Eric had it all covered while all she needed was her spare key to get into her apartment. He didn't look at all happy about giving up her key but she assured him she would return it to him when she got her extra set out of her place.

She thanked him again and she began walking back into the hall of the building to the door across the hall. She opened the door and hit the switch on the wall as she walked in with Eric close behind her. "Have a seat. I will be back in just a second."

She headed into the kitchen where she grabbed a coke and True Blood. She popped it into the microwave to heat up and seconds after the beeping of the microwave stopped she was back in the living room where Eric had taken a seat on the oversized couch. He saw her shaking it up before she handed the bottle to Eric she sat down on the other end. She brought her knees to her chin and cradled her legs. "Thanks again Mr. Northman. I think if you hadn't happened on my mess tonight this whole thing might have turned out differently." Eric took a small sip of the bottle he was given then smiled at her. "It was my pleasure. By the way, please call me Eric." Sookie looked at him intently for a few moments and then said in the slightest whisper "Eric" not knowing vampires had extremely good hearing. He stifled a laugh and asked her to tell him about her business. She spent several minutes describing her love of reading one she shared with her grandmother, and how she decided to open a book store after her Gran passed away with the small inheritance she received from her death. Her eyes had both the greatest pride and a large amount of sadness at the same time while talking about her Gran.

They talked for a long time before Eric asked about the True Blood he was drinking. "Why would a human such as yourself have this dreadful True Blood in your home?" Sookie cocked her head for a second before answering then asked "Why Mr. Northman would you be curious about me having that in my fridge? Aren't vampires all the rage now?" She giggled at his expression. He looked shocked and curious. His eyebrows shot up "Really Miss Stackhouse? You don't strike me as the fangbanger type." That got a reaction out of her. She sat straight, planting her feet on the floor looking at him with fire in her eyes. "For your information ERIC a friend of mine brought a date to my house last weekend for me to meet. They brought the True Blood for him to drink. I don't take kindly to your assumptions that I am one of those…those….women who throws herself at men of any kind!" Eric threw his hands up in front of him to show he wasn't trying to provoke her. "I am sorry if I offended you. I did not mean to assume that about you. I was just curious to your knowledge of vampires." Sookie relaxed and apologized. "I didn't mean to get all nasty with you. I just get sensitive about things sometimes." Eric smiled and thought she was wonderful. Most women either cower or try to seduce him. There was hardly any middle ground with women where he was concerned. It was incredible to find someone who was willing to stand up to him especially since she had only just met him. No human had ever sat in a room and just talked to him. He really needed to get to know this enchanting creature better. "No harm done Sookie but I really should be getting back to Fangtastia. I know that I haven't made the greatest impression with you the last few minutes but I would like the opportunity to show you differently if you will allow me. Would you care to go out with me tomorrow evening?" Stunned she stared at him like he just grew two heads. Her mind was going a million miles a minute. "Go out on a date? With you?" The way she said it Eric looked back at her highly confused. He knew his reputation with the opposite sex. He was handsome, intelligent, arrogant and wealthy among other things. Women didn't turn him down. In fact they flocked to his bar nightly to just get a glance of him and if they were one of the few lucky ones they got much more. He turned to her one last time before heading toward the front door to leave. "I see that is not something you would be interested in then, in that case, goodnight Miss Stackhouse."

As he got into his car she was running down the sidewalk. "Eric, wait! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. That isn't what I meant back there it's just…. I just….um…I uh…."

"Spit it out Sookie." He looked her over curiously. She smelled amazing and he knew he would have to find a way to have her.

"Eric, I don't date. I mean, I don't date humans and I never dated a vampire before. There are things I uh…I can't explain…um….actually, I don't know what I am trying to say." She was deflated. She thought he was sexy beyond words but she was worried, really worried about this whole situation.

"Well if it makes you feel better I don't date humans either. So, if we have that straight lets try this again. Miss Stackhouse, would you go out with me tomorrow evening?'

Sookie stood there like a statue. She looked into his sapphire eyes and almost in a whisper she said "Yes." Eric beamed. "There we have it. I will pick you up here at 8 pm tomorrow evening. Wear something casual and bring a sweater." He fired up the car engine and tore out the parking lot before she could say another word. She just looked down the road until the lights were gone. 'Ah Hell! How did he just do that?' All she could do is walk back into her apartment and pray he had something come up so she could get out of what would definitely had to be a bad idea.
