A/N: Okay so I started a new story. I know some of my followers of fairy aftermath and true love will be disappointed I have not updated them, but this popped into my head and I'm welcoming the fact that my muse is returning, In any form. I normally publish in the SVM area, but I'm basing this one off of True Blood the show to start with, so that's where it is. I'm totally blocked on Fairy aftermath and I need to re-do a portion of True Love I'm not happy with. I hope I can get those out soon.

Also parts of Season 3 finale will be verbatim, other parts I Para-phrased. Enjoy!

"If I were to meet the true death without having at least kissed you Sookie Stackhouse, that would be my biggest regret" HA. I keep playing that over in my head as I sit here chained up in a dog collar in Eric's dungeon. At that moment he seemed so vulnerable and human to me, and when he kissed me, He poured every once of vulnerability and passion into that kiss. To not even 10 minutes later to chain me up. I'll never understand that man. What a big A-hole.

And where the hell was Bill? I let my mind wander thinking over everything when I heard the door open. Yvetta came barreling down the stairs muttering in her language. Luckily she freed me . We headed back upstairs and came upon Bill and Pam arguing. They struggled and eventually we subdued her with silver and Yvette took off.

On our way back to Bon Temps Bill and I started talking about a bright future. One that did not include any supernatural bullshit, and sure as hell no Eric. Out of nowhere, Eric and Russell jumped in front of my car. And shortly we where on our way back to Fangtasia.

As soon as we got back to the club Bill was chained vamps started spouting some nonsense about my blood enabling them to walk in the sun. Huh? "Bill is this true?" I asked startled. "Yes" he said. What the hell.

I was so shocked as the vampires talked calmly about drinking from me. Fuckers. All of them. If I manage to get out of this alive, I'm done with all of them.

Eric then offered Russell to go first. He refused. He told Eric to go first. Eric came up to me and gazed into my eyes. He gazed down at me with such caring. Who the hell was this vampire? He grazed his fingers across my cheek until I heard Russell mutter " Enough of this" and he yanked me away from Eric and sunk into my wrist. It hurt like hell. Moment later I felt the sting of fangs on my neck as Eric drank. He was gentle, Caressing my hair as he drank. I started to get light headed and passed out.

When I came to I was back in my graveyard by my house. I gazed up to the sky and saw this chandelier descent from the sky" what the hell" I thought. As the thing lowered I blacked out once again and woke to Bill staring at me.

I jumped up and slapped him. We argued about him trying to safe me yet again. What a crock of shit, Until I noticed Eric was gone. "Where's Eric" I asked. "He's outside Burning" Pam said from across the room.

I got up to rush outside when Bill zoomed in front of me to stop me." Get out of my way Bill" I yelled and rushed outside to find eric and Russell burning.

"Eric why are you doing this?" I asked him.

"Go away" he mumbled.

Determined to save him I bent down and noticed he was handcuffed to Russell.

"Use your powers honey" Russell said.

"I don't know"

"I will come back and find a way to kill your precious Viking and Mr. Compton and everyone else you ever cared about just because you didn't use your fucking powers!" he roared.

Pissed off I noticed my magic hands worked and broke the cuffs. "Now drag me the fuck back inside" Russell bellowed.

Pissed off I flashed my hands again and slammed him against a fence. He just laughed. I grabbed Eric and quickly dragged him back inside. Pam rushed over to help lay him on a couch. "He's too weak to drop fang" she said.

I turned to Bill" Bite me" I said.

"Sukheh" he mumbled but finally relented. I put my wrist on Eric's mouth and could feel him drinking. A few seconds later I felt his fangs pierce my skin. "Watch him, we both know he could lose control" I tell Bill.

Eric drank for a bit until Bill yanked my arm away. Eric looked at me"Sookie we need to get him inside"

Everyone just assumed Eric was nuts until he finally sat up and said" I'll go myself" He went to leave and Him and Bill had some sort of vamp pissing contest. "Oh good lord" I mumbled getting up I go grab a silver chain and drag Russell back in.

Once we got Russell chained up in side Eric, the big A-hole that he is announced that they were napping and I got to watch Russell. Lucky Me. When he offered to kill Bill or Eric, I was tempted, just for a second.

Lucikly a little before dark Alcide came in and we engaged in some harmless flirting. I wonder what it would be like to be with a person who was actually alive? Breaking me out of my musing, Eric and the other dead fuckers came in.

After announcing that all their invites where rescinded and earning a grin from alcide, I high-tailed it out of there. Once I got home I took a shower and had something to eat with Tara. After everything she had been thru lately she let me know she needed to get away. Frankly I don't blame her. I wished her the best and she left.

I did not get to enjoy my piece and quiet long when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it to find settled in the living room when he announced " Russell is no more". Well that's good.

"Eric as well" he commented.

"Eric, he would never hurt me." Even as I said it I knew it to be true.

"He tasted you. Even if we are not together, I will keep your protected. Pam as well." He stated.

Right now I'm so confused. Bill is my first love, I still have feelings for him but so much has happened I just don't know what to think anymore.

"Sookie I will meet the true death to keep you safe." He says and heads for the door.

"Wait" I yell. Maybe we could work things out.

Just than the door swished open and I look to see Eric coming up my steps. "Did you tell her you where sent by the Queen of Louisiana to procure her… for what she might be?" Eric questioned Bill.

"I didn't know why she wanted you" Bill pleaded to me.

"Where you ever planning on telling me?" I asked.

"I hoped to"

"Did you also tell her you paid two low lives's to beat her within an inch of her life so you could feed her your blood.. The night you met? Think she'll forgive you for that?" Eric said.

"Oh my god" I stammered flashing back to that night. I remember seeing a car off in the distance. It was true.

"Sukheh?"

"I love you. I will meet the true death to keep you safe"

Eric chimed in with "He tried to silence me tonight so you'd never find out. He doesn't care about you, he only cares about himself."

"LOVE" I scream." You manipulated me into falling in love with you." I cry. "Don't come over; don't call me I don't want to see you ever again!"

Bill flew off the porch. "I want my phone back" Eric snarked at him.

Bill glanced back to me one more time and took off into the night.

I look over to Eric who is smirking." You too, get the fuck off my porch and out of my life." I scream.

"For the record, I would never have given you to Russell." He insists.

"Go back to hell where you came from you fucking dead piece of shit!" I yell. Eric zooms in front of me at vamp speed." I'm sorry to see you suffer like this, I thought you had a right to know" he said and zoomed off to god knows where.

I slam my door and collapse behind it. No longer able to control my sobs I cry for hours until I see the sun coming up, and I'm finally able to drag myself to bed.

The next few days went by in a blur. I was basically a walking zombie. My whole relationship with Bill was a lie. I was a job for him. Fucking Vampires. I was done with them. I even caught myself analyzing Eric's warnings. He was trying to safe me from Bill and from Russell. But I'm sure it was so he could use me for his own selfish gains, not out of real concern. Vampires are nothing but cold dead things.

After a week or so of moping around I knew I needed to try and get my life back together. I called Sam and found out I still had a job. I told him about everything that had happened. It felt good to talk about it.

It was my first night back at work. I had to admit it felt nice being back at Merlotte's working and jut being normal. I was convinced I'd be able to move on from the night mare my life had turned into recently. I'd rather be alone than deal with that shit again.

Everything was going great until I felt a void enter the bar. I looking around to see Pam, Eric's second stroll into the bar and sit in my section. Oh Hell. I head on over to her.

"What do you want Pam?" I asked.

"I wanted to thank you for saving my master's life" she said. I was a little startled and had to fight the urge to be nasty, luckily my good southern upbringing kicked in.

"Your welcome. Can I get you a True Blood?" I asked. She nodded and I headed over to the bar to grab one.

"Want me to kick her out cher?" Sam asked.

"Nah, she just wanted to thank me for something. I think it will be fine." I tell him.

I placed Pam's True Blood in front of her and turned to walk away when she grabbed my arm. " I need to speak with you." She said.

I huff and sit down across from." Fine. Make it quick. Some of us are working."

"Sookie, their has been some danger regarding the Queen of Louisiana. Bill has gone missing and ..." I stop her.

"I could give a fuck about Bill. Let him rot." I say.

Pam smirks" I also would be quite alright with him rotting, but this is about you. The Queen still wants you. She contacted Eric last week and tasked him with the job of procuring you."

Snorting I reply" So. Am I suppose to just go quietly? Make things easier on Eric?"

"Don't be dense. If Eric was going to turn you over he would have already done so. I personally think it would just make things easier if he did. But he refuses and I guess your not so bad for a breather." Pam says.

"Well gee thanks Pam."

"Your quite welcome"

"Look Pam. I'm done with vampire bullshit. I'll just report this Queen to the police. Have them handle it." I tell her.

Pam laughs" Your are too much Sookie. You honestly think the police here in Mayberry or even Shreveport can keep you safe? You're mistaken. As much as you want to be done with "Vampire Bullshit" that chance was gone the minute your cousin Hadley opened her big mouth to the Queen about you."

"So what am I supposed to do?" I ask.

"You need to talk to Eric." She says.

"Why did he not just come here himself if it was so fucking important?"

"Well Sookie you ordered him from your life. He wanted to respect your wishes. It has become apparent though to keep you safe; he will need to be in your life. He asked me to come this evening and request permission that he might visit you this evening to speak with you."

Fuck. I really wanted to stay away from all them. Fucking Hadley. Pam is right though, it would have been easier on Eric to turn me over, not try and help. "Okay Pam tell him he can come by."

She nodded and whipped out her phone and started talking in some other language. She finished quickly. "Eric will be by your home when your shift is over."

I nodded and got up to finish my work. I noticed an hour later Pam had left. The rest of the night was uneventful and after my long shift I was finally able to leave to head home.

The minute I pull up to my home I find Eric lounging against my front door. He's dressed in black pants and a blue dress shirt. I swear it should be illegal to look as good as he does.

"Sookie" he greets.

"Eric"

"Shall we go inside?" He asks.

"Oh hell no. Out here or nothing." I tell him.

"Fine" he growled. He sat down on my bench and motioned for me to sit next to him.

"Are you well?" he asked.

"Fine. Just say what you need to." I tell him.

"Sookie as Pam told you, the Queen of Louisiana has tasked me with procuring you. She wants to make you her pet and keep you in her mansion in New Orleans. "

"Why don't you just give her to me then Eric? Save yourself the hassle." I snark.

Eric sighed. It was such a human thing for him to do." Look, I know you're hurting still, and I know you blame me as well for your hurt. Right now we do not have time for you to wallow in your emotions. We need to make a plan to keep you away from the Queen."

"Okay"

Eric began" As I see it we have two options, you could run. I'll give you money and a new identity and you would leave. You could never come back or contact anyone from here ever again, but it would keep you out of vampire affairs."

Leave my home? My brother? I could never do that. "Eric, I could never leave Gran's home or not see my brother again."

"I figured as much. That leaves the second option." He says

"And that is?" I ask.

Eric looks over to me and smirks" You become mine."

"NO WAY!" I shout.

"Sookie, you have no other options. You refuse to run, and if you want to stay in your home, and maintain your freedom, this is the only way. You need to be under the official protection of a vampire older and more powerful than the Queen, and that is me."

He's right. Fucking hell. But I can't be his. I won't get involved with a vampire ever again. Besides it's not like Eric could have a real relationship. I would just be part of his stable of sluts, and their was no way in hell I'd do that.

"Why would you go to all this trouble Eric?" I needed to know.

"I owe you. And I want to fuck you." He smirks.

Asshole."I'm not having sex with you ever."

"You say that now. You know you have feelings for me Sookie." he says.

That's from my dream. What the hell!" Ewww" I retort.

"Fine Sookie. I will declare you as mine publicly and announce my formal protection of you. It will keep you safe from the Queen. You will probably still need to read minds for her, but I would set the terms and be with you."

"And that's it?"

"Well I would expect you to assist me from time to time at Fangstasia, and since your mine, you'll need to sit beside me in the club from to time."

That does not sound like a big deal. "That's it Eric. Sounds too easy."

"Well we need to exchange blood on occasion and we will need to have a mutual exchange. But that's it." He says.

Exchange blood? Oh hell no." NO. I'll agree to help you, but there will be no feeding."

He sighed again" Sookie if I do not have your blood or we do not have some sort of bond formed, No one will believe you are mine."

I realize I have no choice in this matter. If I want to remain in Louisiana its Eric or the Queen, and Eric is the lesser of two evils.

"Fine. But no sex."

"Sookie I could make this pleasurable for you."

'Forget it. Let's get this over with." I huff

Eric leans over toward my neck." What are you doing?" I stammer.

"Biting you lover." He murmurs as he kisses my neck.

I push him away." No neck. Wrist. And no kissing."

"Fine." He bites into his wrist and shoves in front of me 'Drink"

I take his wrist and start drink. God his blood tastes so good. Like chocolate. I barely feel it when he takes my wrist and bites down.

After a few moments he pulls his wrist away and licks mine. He pricks his finger and puts some blood on the puncture marks he made and they heal instantly.

"It is done. You are mine now."

He gets up and looks back at me " See ya soon lover." And zooms off into the night.

Just what the hell have I gotten myself into.
