Goddesses and Monsters – A SVM/True Blood crossover – AU/OOC. Mature rating.

Summary: This story takes place in an alternate universe. Sookie was born to into the Stackhouse family, having Faerie/goddess ancestors. She was taken as a baby by Fintan on Niall's orders back through the portal to live with them. She will not know a human life, and due to the time difference between dimensions, there will be no Gran, Jason or human friends. There will be plenty of romance, sex, violence, swearing, mythology and magic.

Sookie has led a sheltered life in which she is being prepared for breeding upon her maturity. Her grandpa Fintan despises how his father keeps Sookie a prisoner and hates obeying his father Niall's command to assist the continuance of their race, or so he's been told. She is gloriously beautiful and innocent version of the canon Sookie and is gifted with many powers, some due to her very special lineage that will inevitably put her on the vampires 'wish list'. She will also initially appear naive and powerless due to being taken from her Faerie environment (not wishing to give away too much), but don't be fooled, she is a force to be reckoned with having all the usual Faerie powers and some others too.

Eric will be his usual man-whore self but softer with Sookie. Pam will also not be such a bitch to Sookie, but will be a true friend. There may be some love interest with Godric too but it may come to nothing.

Niall's kingdom – 2011

"Turn away, I do not wish to see your face!" Preston spat in disgust as he grabbed my shoulders and span me round, pushing me to the end of the bed.

Falling face down I put my hands out in front to stop myself falling hard on my face. Preston took advantage of my momentary surprise and grabbed my long hair, pulling it hard, bringing tears to my eyes and forcing my head back at an excruciating angle. His mouth was at my ear as he pushed his weight and obvious arousal into my back, holding me captive.

I tried to struggle as he menacingly whispered threats of what he was going to do to me if I cried out for my grandpa, silencing me immediately. Tears of helplessness and fear rolled down my cheeks as I readied myself for the onslaught of sickening debauchery from so called 'breeding partner'. I was so weak and impassive from the dozens of 'visits' from Preston this week that I couldn't answer. My mind was spiralling downward into an abyss of hopelessness and self pity; this couldn't really be my life, could it?

Only seven days had passed since I had matured and in that seven days, a day I had dreaded coming since I had learned that there was another life other than that of a 'breeder'. I had been groomed from an early age that it was my purpose to produce children for the endangered Fae race and that I was honoured to be chosen for such a task. I had never questioned my role until I started the slow change into maturity and compared it to that of the books my grandpa secretly gave me. In seven days, I had endured pain like no other I had experienced and mental torture enough to drive me insane.

Although Preston was very handsome, his blond hair failing tousled around his face framing bright green eyes, eyes that betrayed that hinted at malice and deception. He was meant to be a wonderful lover, it was meant to be an enjoyable experience my handmaidens had told me. It was a lie, I had seen into his mind and confirmed that he was a monster and I was going to suffer torture at his hands and be forced to bear his child. He imagined the iron needles and lemon that he would scar my body with, ruining me for other suitors. I would be his for eternity, using my body and breaking my mind to his heart's content. After enduring as much as I could for the last seven days, my will broke and I called out in my mind to my grandpa, not wishing to give away that I was calling for help, or that I could communicate telepathically.

Grandpa please help me, I cannot take this pain any more, help me please!

Sookie my child, I am coming, do not fear

I felt my dress being pulled up and him unbuckling his heavy belt, ready to invade me forcefully and braced myself for the pain. The pain did not come, but I did feel the weight lift from my body and the fierce roar of a warrior as Preston and grandpa fought violently only metres from me. Scrambling to my knees I pushed myself up to the headboard of the intricately carved wooden bed, trembling in terror at the violence in front of me. Grandpa was the elder and marginally stronger and now had Preston bound with an invisible force, him struggling in vain to free himself. When he was sure that Preston was incapacitated, grandpa pulled me into a hug to comfort me and smoothed my hair down before scowling at Preston with hatred.

"You dare to harm my blood?" he roared.

"She is nothing but a disgusting half-breed, hardly fit for my pleasure!" Preston spat back at him, a malevolent sneer on his twisting his once handsome face.

"Sookie is of royal descent, more special than you could ever be worthy of, your life is forfeit!" A ball of blinding yellow light burst from grandpa's hand toward Preston incinerating him instantly. His dust was all that was left and then that too, was gone.

As I stared in amazement at the scene that just unfolded, my lip trembled and when grandpa took me in his arms once again, I could not stop the sobs.

"Thank you grandpa, I was so scared. He was evil; I will never be able to erase the horror of his mind."

"Sshh my child, he is no more. I am so sorry for what you have had to endure but I was forbidden to interfere. My being here will anger your Great Grandfather and now I have no choice but to flee Faerie and set you free. We have little time before it is noticed that Preston has moved on to the Summerland's and there is much to tell you before we go." He patted my back and pulled me away to look at him when I stiffened at his words.

"Freedom? Really, how?" I stuttered.

I had never known freedom, having been locked in my chamber all my life. Freedom was a view from my window, sounds from outside my door, always out of reach and kept from me by magical containments.

"There is a life for you outside of this room my child, one that has been intentionally taken from you by my Father, your Great grandpa for the so called 'future of our race'." His kind and gentle face belied the tone and meaning of his words.

I frowned and pleaded with my eyes for him to explain, rendered momentarily speechless. He led me from the bed to the two armchairs arranged in front of the large open fireplace, a place they often sat and conversed and played games.

"What I am about to tell you will be a huge shock and may distress you greatly". He smiled hesitantly at me knowing the ordeal I had endured at Preston's hands since my maturity day.

It was a day that signalled the end of my innocence and the start of a life of torment and despair. It was not the life of a Faerie to be locked away and isolated and I was only grateful that I had not yet conceived a child, for then escape would be impossible.

"You have not been told the truth of your birth child, and whatever the consequences I shall conceal it no more." He looked pained, a far off look painting his face.

I dipped into his mind, seeing visions of a blonde haired beauty, them walking through the woods in a place I did not think was in this realm.

"I loved her, the human woman in the vision. Her name was Adele and she was your human grandmother. She birthed two children of mine, unable to have any with her human husband. Before the portal was closed, you were taken from your parents on Niall's orders and they never saw you again."

He hesitated, waiting for me to digest this revelation but I could also see and hear conflict in his mind, like he was trying hard to tell me something more, but couldn't.

I just stared at him in astonishment, having to believe his words due to the images in his mind confirming everything he was telling me. My hands trembled in my lap from the betrayal and hurt, my traumatised mind not coping well with this news. I had to be strong though, this truth would set me free and it must be heard.

"Please carry on grandpa, I can handle it" I said meekly, reassuring him that I was strong enough. He nodded and smiled comfortingly.

"As you have already worked out, you are half human." I nodded affirmatively. Humans were a destructive race, polluting their land and minds but were also capable of love and kindness. There were people in Faerie that could be like that too, so I figured they couldn't be all that different.

"You are also very special my child, your grandmother was descended from the Norse Goddess Freya whose ability to enchant males and procreate was a power beyond any other. She was so enchanting that the day I came across her in the woods by her home, I knew that I would not be able to resist her. When it was discovered that she had produced twins upon our first coupling, her heritage was investigated and it discovered that she was the illegitimate child of the Goddess and her human lover. That is why I was forced by Niall to bring you here; he offered to spare Adele for your life in captivity. It is a decision that has tormented me for many years and one I am truly sorry for. I loved Adele with all my heart and still do even though it has been many moons since her death. Your human Mother and Father never showed any Faerie traits, so were undiscovered for a long time until they were assassinated by a rival Faerie kingdom in retaliation for a battle I lead which resulted in the death of their Prince. Your human brother survived and lived with your grandmother and her husband for the remainder of their lives."

I let out a long held breath, struggling to comprehend the truth of my heritage. I had seen and heard much in the twisted mind of my sexual tormentor, but this news was so much more shocking.

"How long ago did they die?" I whispered weakly.

"Well, time moves differently in the Faerie realm. What seems like just one moon cycle is actually called one day, or twenty four hours in human time. When passing between realms, time is stretched and in the human realm you will be what is known as twenty five years old, although you are much older in this realm. I know it's confusing but rest assured, you have much life ahead of you if you want your freedom, but there will be much danger."

"Grandpa, tell me what I can do, I so want to be free, to walk amongst others, to see nature and actually live a life such as those I have read in the books you gave me!" My eyes filled with tears of hope, not the usual desolation, there was hope for my future and I would embrace it.

"Your great grandpa Niall is a cruel and heartless leader, only concerned with strengthening our race through aggressive breeding after our population was decimated by the Vampire war. Your part in this I have already explained but there are others who do it freely, it will never be any different for you child and I have stood by for too many years, aware of the solitude and unhappiness you have had to endure. I will take it no longer; I plan to take you through the portal." He was starting to buzz with energy now and moved over to my chair, kneeling before me.

"Before you reached your maturity, your 'spark' or your Faerie magic was taken from you for the safety of others and to confine you. I return it to you and will give you my Fae tome to guide you through your gifts." He placed his hands in my and light began to build in his body moving through his hands into mine. I closed my eyes and warmth spread through every cell in my body, my senses heightened and my body felt stronger. My weakened body and mind were healed and pulsing with power. When I opened my eyes, the room was brighter, more colourful and grandpa glowed warmly before me. Eventually the glow dulled and I sat taller and he took my hands in his, pulling me up.

"I feel so alive, what has happened to me?" I remarked, my body humming with energy.

"You are magical now my child, magical and powerful. Practice your powers and use them wisely. Come now, pack a small amount of belongings, we do not have much time."

I moved quickly to my dressing room to gather a few items in the enchanted silk velvet pouch grandpa gave me when the noise outside startled me. The noise was almost deafening as magic sparked against the heavy wooden doors of my chamber. A furious voice rang out for grandpa to surrender me.

"Fintan, you are going to be punished for this treachery, you will lower the shield you have placed on this room immediately" the voice roared. I recognised it as Niall's and ran out of my dressing room, having packed my few belongings and shook with fear as my grandpa roared back at the voice in defiance.

"You will keep my Granddaughter here no longer, even if it means my death!"

I whimpered at his selflessness. "Grandpa, No!"

"Hurry child, we must go. I will tell you when we are at the portal who I have entrusted your safety to." He grabbed my hand and with a blinding flash we teleported to the woods I could see in the distance from my window.

The air was warm and fragrant and I looked around as if in a trance at the first glimpse of the outside of my prison.

"So beautiful" I whispered in astonishment.

I had never seen so many vibrant colours. The trees, the sky and the earth glowed with ethereal beauty and I could feel the hum of magic all around me. A sweet fragrance hung in the air and I breathed in deeply, shivering in pleasure at how invigorating the fresh air was.

"I wish you had been able to roam our lands freely, there are truly many wonders to be seen." He smiled at my childlike wonder of their land, but now was not the time to admire its beauty.

"Come Sookie, we must go."

I nodded and suddenly jumped when there was a crackle of energy and grandpa led me over to a shimmering oval portal twice my height, I glanced in but it was too dark to see anything. He stood back a few paces and took my hands in his.

"You're not coming with me are you?" I asked desolately. He shook his head in the negative.

"It is too dangerous for me and I must return to face the consequences. I will see you in your dreams child, do not worry for me. Niall has many enemies and I intend to embrace their hatred to overcome him in time. Be sure to read the tome; it is the secret to your powers but be careful to let no other see it. I will put you in contact with a trusted ally who I know will offer you his protection. Put your trust in him and he will keep you safe from harm." He handed me a folded paper which I put into my bag.

My tears fell once again and I hugged grandpa tightly. "I shall dream of you nightly grandpa, I love you."

"I love you too Sookie, goodbye my child, I shall miss you greatly but shall dream of you also. I have faith in your wonderful spirit and power that you shall find peace and contentment in this human world. Remember what you have learnt of humans and other supernatural creatures, trust your instincts."

Tears fell from his sparkling eyes and they embraced, eventually pulling away from me he kissed me on the forehead.

"Goodbye grandpa, thank you for all your love and kindness. I hope to see you again one day." I turned and walked through the dark portal, its entryway sealing with a crackle behind me as I tentatively emerged into the human world.
