This is my first crack at fanfiction. I have watched all of the seasons of True Blood but I have not read the books that they are based off of. I do not own anything except for my character Adelaide Montgomery.

Pam watched as the woman slowly limped her way up to the door of Fangtasia. She was covered in dirt and blood, and had a broken arm. She was bruised everywhere that Pam could see. She raised an eyebrow when the woman stood in front of her.

"I need to speak with the Sheriff of this area. I heard he was here." She whispered hoarsely.

"Why?" Pam drawled.

"It's about…drainers." She whispered quietly enough that only Pam could hear.

"Follow me."

They walked into the club after Pam nodded to another Vampire to take over.

The woman followed slowly as Pam took her through a private entrance into the back of the club and into Eric's office.

"Wait here."

The woman was standing in the exact same spot that Pam had left her in. Blood was dripping onto the floor and the woman was shivering.

"I am Eric, sheriff of this area. You have information on drainers?"

"Yes."

"Tell me."

"They kidnapped me as I was walking home four nights ago, and took me to their home. I watched as they kidnapped a young vampire and drained her in front of me. They took some of the blood for themselves and then sold the rest. I know that they have drained six other vampires and have raped and murdered three other women."

"How do you know this?"

She hesitated for a brief moment, "I can read minds, memories and intentions. I can also project into other minds."

"Just humans?"

His mind was then filled with her voice, "All creatures."

His hand was around her throat in an instant. His fangs where out and he growled in her face.

"I offer myself to you." She managed to croak out. "I can show you where they are so that you can kill them."

"You are dying." He stated. "I will heal you with my blood. In return, you will be mine. You will belong to me and do as I say. You will read whomever and whatever I tell you to. I, in return, will take care of you. You will never be hurt again."

He loosened his grip.

"I would be honored." She whispered.

"What is your name?"

"Adelaide Montgomery."

He gently scooped her up and sat on the couch with her in his lap. He brought his wrist up to his mouth and bit down with a crunch. He offered his bleeding wrist to her.

Adelaide kept eye contact with him and she raised her good arm to grip his wrist and bring it to her mouth. She latched on and immediately started drinking mouthfuls of his blood. She drank until the wound closed itself, and she slowly licked the remaining blood from his wrist.

His blood worked its way through her system and began to heal her. She arched her back as she felt her ribs heal and her arm snap back into place.

Eric held her to his chest as her wounds healed. She rested against him and for the first time in years felt completely safe. He brought his nose to her neck and breathed her in. She smelled of innocence and sunshine.

"You are still a virgin. How did you manage to escape without them taking advantage of you?"

She blushed heavily but answered, "Whenever they tried to rape me I made their worst memory play through their mind over and over again so they couldn't get it up."

Eric looked surprised and then laughed. "Brilliant."

She blushed again and fiddled with one of the buttons on his shirt. She didn't delve too deep into his mind, but she read his intentions and knew that he would not hurt her. She snuggled in closer and waited for him to speak.

"I have some paperwork that I need to finish and then we will go home."

"May I stay on your lap?" She asked quietly, "Or will that distract you?"

Eric didn't answer. He simply stood up with her in his arms and sat down in his chair behind his desk. Adelaide snuggled in again, her fingers finding the same button to fiddle with as he started on his paperwork. She fell into the place between awake and asleep, and waited for him to be finished.

She awoke fully when he stood up again with her in his arms.

"We are going home."

She nodded against his chest and watched their progress through the back door with Pam in tow. Eric placed her gently in the backseat and buckled her in, before getting into the driver's seat himself. They all were quiet during the 20 minute drive to Eric's home.

Adelaide watched as they pulled up to a gate and saw Eric punch in a code and scan his finger. The gate opened and they drove up a long drive way before the house was revealed. It was beautiful. What surprised her the most was the amount of windows on the house. The house itself was a modern design, and was surrounded by trees. They pulled into a garage, and Eric was at her door before she could blink.

They walked inside and were greeted by a man in his late 20's that couldn't keep the smile off his face.

"Adelaide, this is my day man, Elijah. Elijah, this is Adelaide."

Elijah gave a wave from where he was standing, "It's so nice to meet you! I look forward to finally being able to show off my culinary skills."

Adelaide smiled right back at him. His thoughts were happy and light, and he was very loyal to Eric. "It's nice to meet you too."

"Now, Eric said you might be hungry but that I should make you something light. I made chicken noodle soup if you'd like some."

"Yes, thank you. But just a small bowl. And I would love a big glass of water with lots of ice."

"Coming right up!"

Eric tightened the arm he had around her waist. "My blood should have healed everything, but make sure you eat and drink slowly for the next couple days. I assume you were not fed while under their torcher."

She shook her head.

Eric escorted her to the breakfast bar and sat her on a stool while Elijah served her. She took a couple of small sips of the water first, moaning as the cold water hit her tongue. She was able to finish the soup and asked for another cup of water to take with her to wherever she was staying.

Eric escorted her downstairs where he showed her his office and the library, then opened the door to his room. She followed behind him and waited for instructions.

"This is my room. You have the option of staying here with me or having your own room."

"I want to stay with you."

"Then I will allow you to shower while I find some suitable clothes for you to wear until we can go shopping."

"Thank you Eric."

He inclined his head and left the room.

Adelaide walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair, which was black, looked even darker with all the dried blood in it. It was completely matted and she knew it was going to be a bitch to comb out. She had blood all over her face, but was glad the she no longer had a black eye and that her sapphire eyes had no damage. Her clothes were torn and while her bruises had healed, she was still covered in dirt.

She turned away from the mirror and turned on the shower. She stripped out of her clothes, threw them in the trash can and stepped under the hot spray. She let out a low moan as the water cascaded down her body.

Her shower took a lot longer than it normally would. She washed her hair three times and her body four. She wanted to make sure she was completely clean.

When she stepped out of the shower there were towels and a pair of sweatpants and a tank top waiting for her. She gladly accepted the clothes and put them on. When she walked out of the bathroom Eric was waiting for her. She noticed that he had changed into silk pajama pants and was not wearing a shirt. She blushed as she looked at his well-defined chest and abs.

"Come." He held out his hand to her. She noticed he was holding a brush in the other.

He sat on the bed and pulled her so that her back was to his chest, and tugged gently so that she sat down. She was surprised when he started to gently brush through her tangles.

"Thank you."

"I promised you I would take care of you."

She hummed lightly as the bristles of the brush massaged her scalp. She felt tears come to her eyes. The last person to do this for her was her mother, and she has been eight at the time. She felt Eric begin to bread her hair as her tears began to fall. He secured it with a tie and turned her around.

"Did I hurt you?"

"No." She moved further into his embrace and nuzzled her face into his neck. "It's just…I haven't felt safe and protected like this since I was eight."

She felt his arms around her tighten and knew he wanted an explanation. He deserved one after taking her in as he was.

"I had the perfect childhood," she whispered. "My mom and I had the best relationship that you can imagine. My father was kind and took good care of us. When I was eight, my mother went to the grocery store, and on her way home was hit by a drunk driver. She died instantly. I was devastated and so was my dad. He didn't look or talk to me for days. I think it was because I look so much like her. After the funeral, things started to get bad. He would sneer at me and tell me I was the reason my mom had died. He made me do all the chores around the house, including the cooking, and if something wasn't up to his standard, he'd hit me."

Eric growled low in his throat and started rubbing her back.

"He would make sure to hit me in places that could be covered up by clothes. When I hit puberty, it went from bad to worse. He wouldn't let me out of the house except to go to school and the beatings became more severe. I went to a very large school and didn't think anyone would care that I was being punished. That was also around the time that my abilities started to show up. I was scared when I realized I was hearing other peoples thoughts, and even more frightened when I realized I could see their entire history."

She paused for a moment, letting the memories resurface. She had been terrified and had no one to turn to. She sure as hell was not about to tell her father.

"A couple months before my 18th birthday, I heard my father planning on selling my virginity to the highest bidder. I knew I had to get out. So one night was he was drinking heavily, I packed a small bag and the money that I had saved up, and ran for it. We lived in California and I knew I had to get out of the state. I hopped on a bus and went as far as I could. I made it to Colorado. For the next couple years I worked low end, low profile jobs and moved often. I was never planning on coming to Louisiana, but I felt drawn here. I was working in a diner when I was kidnapped."

She looked up at him during this part of her story. She wanted him to understand.

"I heard them coming and I ran but they shot me with something. When I woke up I was naked and tied to a bed. The leader came in and I could see what he had planned for me. I wanted to be sick."

She started shivering. Eric pulled them up to the head of the bed and wrapped a blanket around her. She made sure she was still facing him as she continued.

"As he approached, I searched through his history and found his worst memory and made it replay in his mind over and over again. He didn't know what was going on so he started to beat me. This happened every time one of them came in. On the third day they dragged in a vampire. She was covered in a silver net. They restrained her with silver chains and started to drain her. Then they started to rape her. She didn't cry out but she fought as hard as she could. She made eye contact with me and I went through her history and found her happiest memory. I made sure that it played over and over again so that she wouldn't have to deal with what they were doing. "

She grabbed either side of Eric's face to make sure he understood what she was saying.

"As she was dying I promised her I would avenge her death Eric. I promised! I told her that I would get the sheriff of the area and I would make sure that they suffered for what they did. You will help me keep that promise."

"You are brave and you are kind." He said to her. His eyes held fire and determination. "We will find these monsters and we will make them suffer."

Adelaide smiled at him.

"The next day, they were determined to rape me no matter what happened. They all advanced on me and I remember thinking that I was not going to allow this to happen. I didn't let my father sell my virginity, and I was not going to let them take it. All of the sudden lights shot from my hands and threw them backwards where they were knocked out. I redirected the light towards my bindings and I was able to get free. I threw on some clothes that I found and ran for it. They of course lived in the middle of nowhere so it took me awhile to get to you, but I did."

"Lights from your hands?"

"I don't know what it is," she whispered as she looked down at her hands. "But it saved my life, so if can't be bad, right?"

"I will look into it for you and see what I can find. Obviously you are not completely human." He looked at her intently. With all the blood that she took from him, he could feel her emotions and would be able to tell if she lied to him.

"Did you look at my history?"

"No. I just read your surface thoughts and intentions. I wanted to make sure that I could trust you. I don't read too deep into people unless I have their permission."

"Tomorrow night you will show me where these drainers live, and we will bring them to Fangtasia and they will be punished. Severely."

She smiled at him and nibbled on her lip, "Can I help?"

Eric let out a pleased growl, "Yes."

She hugged him.

"If you wake before me tomorrow, you may go upstairs and explore the house. Elijah will be there with food and some clothes for you. There is a pool outback that you may enjoy as well."

She continued to hug him, "Thank you Eric. I don't know how I will ever repay you."

"You are mine. There is no repayment."

"There is one more thing I should tell you." She said nervously. "It's about my blood."

He raised an eyebrow.

"I'm have Polycythemia."

"You produce more red blood cells."

"Yes. It makes my blood thicker."

She watched as his fangs peeked out from under his lips. She slowly brought up her hand and extended a finger. He opened his mouth a little wider and extended his fangs fully. She carefully ran her finger up and down one of his fangs.

Eric's eyes rolled back in his head and he shivered. His cock grew and pressed against the confines of his pajama bottoms.

"Oh." She breathed, and proceeded to do the same thing to the other fang.

A low rumble filled the room and Adelaide realized it was coming from Eric. His eyes were closed and his jaw was slack. She felt his hardness pressing up against her core and she too shivered.

"Drink from me?"

His eyes snapped to hers and the rumble got louder. She moved her head to the left and moved her hair out of the way.

He brought one of his hands up to cradle her skull, while the other stayed at her lower back. He leaned in and breathed her in. She smelled amazing. He licked at the spot he was planning to bite, and slowly and gently sunk his fangs into her artery.

Adelaide's hands came up and ran through his short hair. She let out a quiet moan at the feel of him sucking her life force from her.

Eric's arm tightened around her as he took mouthfuls of her blood. The rumble from his chest continued as he tried to control himself. He blood was amazing. So thick and pure. It reminded him of sunshine.

He listened to her heart and slowed down his drinking before finally coming to a stop. He nicked his tongue and licked across her wound so that it would heal with no scar.

Her hands continued to run through his hair, and she shifted her hips. She was a virgin in every sense of the word. She had never been with a man and she had never masturbated. Amazing for someone her age, she knew, but she could never relax enough to bring herself that kind of pleasure. Being able to feel Eric through both her pants and his made her shiver.

Eric brought both hands to her hips to steady her. He retracted his fangs and brought his face up to look at her.

"Your blood tastes amazing. It reminds me of the sun."

Adelaide blushed and brought her hands down to his shoulders.

"You're the first to taste me."

A pleasurable purr rumbled in his chest. "And I will be the only. You are mine."

"I am yours."

"Dawn approaches. Let us sleep."

Adelaide nodded and crawled off his lap. She snuggled under the covers and waited for Eric to get situated as well. She smiled when he spooned up behind her and wrapped her in his arms.

"Sleep well." He whispered.

"Enjoy your day rest."

Adelaide was asleep in minutes.
