Popping in to say hi. It’s been a while, apologies.

[vikingofarea5]

He’s back and missing @succulentsook.

[succulentsook]

Even if I am a Faerie Vampire Hybrid, I can still have children. I am the last of the Brigant line. If I meet the True Death, that will be it. *She wrote down at her kitchen table in the bright summer morn. To @vikingofarea5.

The house was light tight of course and had been for some time. However Sook had not needed it per say. So she opened the shutters and cooked herself some breakfast. It was fresh biscuits, eggs, bacon and orange juice. And in walked Jason as always dressed for work. "Hey, Sook. Ooh watcha make for breakfast?" He said as he snatched her bacon off her plate.* Jason that's mine! Yours is in the the oven. *He placed his hand on her shoulder. "How'd ya know I was comin' over, Sook?" He said with a large smile as he said sitting down with his plate taking a biscuit. "Mmm. Just like, Gran, Sookie." She smiled.* And no, you can't have the rest of my bacon. I knew you were coming because you always do. *She rolled her eyes.* Jason, you're like Pavlov's dog. I start cooking, you can smell it at your house. You come a running. *That big dumb smile of his formed as he bit into his food. "I don't who that is, but he's right. Whatcha writin' there?" Before she could grab it. Jason took it off the table.

Seeing that she simply didn't use her vampire powers around her brother. Or anyone at work. She could hide it there. This way they they didn't say things about "Fangers being out during the day." Or even worse they could attempt to come to her home and attempt to kill her. Jason couldn't lose his friends either. As Eric always said she thought of other people. It was a rare quality in a breather. Well she wasn't anymore.

"Sook, what are ya doin'? Don't be doin' nothin' stupid. That's my job." She rolled her eyes.* Jason Stackhouse, for one, you are not stupid. And two. I have to figure out a way to have a baby. I am the last of our Faery line. And I want it to be Eric's. *He looked at her, eyebrows furrowed. "Sookie, vampires can't have babies. Even if you still can. Bein' what you are." His hand raised up and dropped.* You don't think I know that? That's why I got to go find out if there's something I can do. Now eat your breakfast and shutter the windows, I gotta go. *She vamp sped out the back door to her car.*

@succulentsook

[succulentsook]

I wonder if @vikingofarea5 realizes I'm waitin' for my gift.

[vikingofarea5]

“You are very impatient, Sookie Stackhouse.” Eric wouldn’t make her wait any longer as he grinned, however, a sudden nervousness spread through his face and body, which made me thank whatever God out there that she couldn’t read his mind. “I suppose now is a good time, then?”

@succulentsook

[succulentsook]

You knew I was impatient the night you met me in Fangtasia all those years ago. *She rolled her eyes.* if you don't know me by now then why are you following me around like a lost little puppy dog? *He knew full well Sookie didn't mean that. But when she got frustrated, she lashed out. Sookie placed her hand on his arm* I'm sorry Eric. I didn't mean that. I'm ashamed of myself for saying that. I don't right deserve your present. *Her head went down into his chest.

[vikingofarea5]

Eric could sense the frustration of Sookie’s reaction, which was something he enjoyed witnessing from time to time. There was something so humbling about her response, for a brief moment it made him miss being human… for just a split second, though. He pulled her closer, his hands anchored on each side of her cheeks. “You don’t need to apologize.” There was a genuine smile that reached his icy eyes, his tone gentle. “Sookie, I have a question for you.”

[succulentsook]

*He was much more forgiving than he had ever been prior to now. Eric at one time would have ripped a person apart for what she had said to said. But now here she stood, safe with his hands cupped about her face. Tears fell down her cheeks.* I need to apologize. You don't follow me around like a puppy, Eric. It's more like I follow you around. *She laughed slightly.

When he mentioned a question, her eyes made way to his.* You can ask me anything. You know that.

[vikingofarea5]

He still would rip anyone apart if he needed to, that was his very nature at the core. Eric was ruthless as a human Viking, more as an immortal. “Sookie, you’re precious as gold. No amount of time is enough with you and this is why I’m asking of this,” he pulls out a rose gold necklace that has an encrusted vial of crimson liquid hanging from the center of it. His blood. “I would much prefer that I turn you, however, if you’re not ready…” he holds out the necklace, the item hanging from his strong hand. “Let me turn you. Please accept this ancient virus that allows you to have life everlasting. Walk the world with me forever.”

[succulentsook]

*As his blue orbs gazed into her brown her smile never wavered. The Queen of the Fae's hands moved to his waist awaiting his question. Her head tilted to the side in anticipation. When he told her she was precious her cheeks turned crimson.* Eric Northman, I am far from that. If I were, I'd be worth a million dollars. *Granted she was because she had created Faery Blood. But that was not what she meant.

When he handed her a vile of his blood, Sookie's eyes brighted.* Eric, I would never say... I'm not ready. But ya know I'll be living for at least 5,000 years, right? *She asked incredulously. Granted I'll become old like my Grandpa Niall. *She laughed at the thought.* But Gran was pretty.

*Being young with Eric forever though... *She took the vial and held it tight bringing it to her heart. It began to beat so fast.* Brown eyes lit up.* You know I won't leave Bon Temps. This is the Stackhouse home. You don't have to live here with me, but I won't move. If you can accept that, I want you to turn me. But... *She slid the necklace around her neck* Not with this. *She patted the vial.* This is MINE to keep close to my heart. You have to turn me.

[vikingofarea5]

“To me,” he said, running a hand down her warm cheek. He could hear the blood pumping through her veins. “You’re worth way more than that, Sookie.” Eric’s voice softened more than his normal tone, years of waiting for this very moment finally coming to fruition. It was euphoric. He extended his ancient old fangs, the sudden traction making a ‘pop’ noise. This meant everything to him…

“And you’re ready? Right now?” He already asked Pamela to secure an open grave for them tonight and several guards to make sure no one tampered with anything in the case she would say yes.

[succulentsook]

*Her cheek moved into his hands it slid down. Oh how she loved him. Not being able to admit it for so long. Even before she and Bill were done she loved Eric. Perhaps it was his blood. Perhaps it was just Eric. She didn't quite know nor care.

Each time he extended his fangs it was different than any other vampire than she had ever experienced. Not that she had experienced many. With Eric it was eloquent, seductive and caused her entire body to shiver.

Sure there may have been a time he could have scared her. Like when he was attempting to save her from Russell.

But the times when she and Eric were simply together, his fangs seemed to pop out in a desirable almost loving manner. Not wishing to hurt her. Sookie took her left hand, reached over the back of her neck and pulled her flaxen hair back from her neck, exposing it.* I'm ready, Eric. Just have Pam write a note to Jason so he don't come lookin' for me. *She smiled.*

[vikingofarea5]

Sookie's transition from life to life everlasting was upon her. He could feel her heart beating steadily against the thin skin of her neck, the intoxicating warmth of her body radiating through the space between them. "There's nothing else I want," he whispered tenderly, his breath brushing softly against her skin. His fangs grazed her, teasing lightly, as he savored the moment, basking in the rhythm of her final heartbeat.

He could almost taste the anticipation hanging in the air. With a swift yet gentle motion, he bit down, his fangs sinking into her flesh with care. His free hand slid around her lower back, pulling her closer, offering support as needed.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still… the world around them faded into a bliss nothingness, leaving only the connection they shared in that sacred moment of transformation. It was only Sookie.

[succulentsook]

*This would be something she'd been anticipating since he'd asked her. Sookie had loved being enveloped by the Viking's large arms. His body was so safe. Almost as if he would never let her go. If there were one thing Sookie could do, she could stay in Eric's arms and bask in his glory.

Those fangs of his. As they grazed upon her soft white skin, she groaned as her fingers tightened upon his shoulders. It was then she felt the bite of his teeth.

Her blood pouring into his mouth. Just as it always had been. Yet this time it more. The Fae Queen had begun to become tired. She knew she was dying, yes, but she would become one with Eric Northman. Eric, I love you. Her voice floated in her head.. She felt his hand running through her blonde locks slowly and about her neck.

Soon enough she heard the words "Drink, Sookie." Sookie began to drink from his wrist slowly at first then eagerly holding on to his wrist. "That's enough, Sookie." @vikingofarea5 said.

[vikingofarea5]

Eric felt nothing but undying love when Sookie drank from him so delicately. The world was soon to turn black around them as Pamela buried them underneath the earth, crickets and cicadas singing along to the nighttime around them. Eric was eager to complete this transition into everlasting life with her, with no fear of death or pain to follow them.

@succulentsook

***

The next night.

He woke up earlier than expected, releasing a sigh as he dug himself up from the shallow grave. Sookie was still asleep a few feet underground, knowing this would be entirely up to her to wake from the change in life. As if on cue, Pamela arrived, carrying a bundle of fresh clothing for the both of them, she said nothing. The vampire handed the bundle over with an annoyed smile, knowing she would object if he had asked her opinion directly. Eric quickly stepped out of the tattered, dirt-stained attire that clung to him, tossing it aside between them. “You can leave now, thank you for being here… I must do this alone, though. You know this, Pamela.”

Soon enough, he felt the ground beneath him trembling slightly, a signal that she chose to be by his side forever. The earth began to shift, and he knew it was time for Sookie to awaken from her deep sleep.

[succulentsook]

*She recalled nothing after the softness of his voice telling her to stop. When she awoke the next evening there was dirt all about her. She began digging. Through all that her memories came flooding back. Eric had turned her. She felt the warm summer evening air on her fingers as they poked through the surface. Though it did not feel as though she had remembered it just yesterday afternoon. It was different this time.

Her muddy blonde haircare through the surface of the earth as her hands had dug her out bit by bit. Her brown eyes now saw those more brilliant ocean blues gazing down upon her as he sat upon a rock as if he'd been waiting for hours.*

Eric, How long have you been waiting? What time is it? Oh my gosh, I look a fright. Just look at me. *She began wiping off her dress. Shortly she turned to see he had brought out the first dress he had ever seen her in. More like Pam picked out her clothes. But she was sure Eric asked for that dress. A soft smile crossed her face as she pointed to it.* That's a nice dress Pam picked out. *Her stomach began to grumble as if she were so hungry.* Eric, I'm starving. Do you have anything to drink? I don't have any Faery Blood in the house. Y'all drank the last of it. I haven't been able to restock the fridge before this. *She pointed the open grave. Though most likely he had paid someone to come to them this evening. But she was getting hungrier by the moment and Eric saw it.*

[vikingofarea5]

Eric held his breath as Sookie crawled through the open grave. There was nothing more worrisome than a newly turned progeny not accepting the transition. However, despite everything, there she was. Dirt stained her golden locks and blood painted the fabric of her dirty dress.

The Viking moved quickly, even urgently, and cupped her face between two strong hands. “Look at you,” he murmured, his voice low and filled with wonder as he blinked away any lingering disbelief. She was nearly glowing, an ethereal light radiating from her that contrasted with the grime of their surroundings. “I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed anything as magical as you, Sookie Stackhouse.”

Is this what love felt like? The connection was something deeper than he’s ever felt before… it wasn’t like this with Pamela. He gave her a moment to change, enjoying the silence as she zipped up the beautiful floral pattern dress, the one he witnessed all those years ago.

“Let’s get you something, (someone), to eat. What do you prefer?”

[sooricsource]

Where were you tonight around 11:00? Here, with Yvetta.

[vikingofarea5]

“Oh, Billy. We can’t have it all.”

[mustbethursday]

He has it well enough. Thank you very much, Eric Northman. *She turned around.* Oh, and @kingofareafive has me. @vikingofarea5

[vikingofarea5]

“You don’t have to protect Bill. I’m sure he’s too embarrassed to admit his lack of stamina.”

[succulentsook]

@vikingofarea5 said "Becoming a maker is an eternal commitment. Greater than any marriage, deeper than any human bond. To throw that away is sacrilege." And he made me.

[vikingofarea5]

“Our bond will be deeper than any human connection, Sookie.”

[succulentsook]

@vikingofarea5 If I'm really honest, it wasn't just goofy, innocent, Eric I fell for. As vicious and untrustworthy as you can be... there's a goodness in you that breaks my heart. Because a part of me had always wanted you.

[succulentsook]

@vikingofarea5 God I can't resist

[vikingofarea5]

“Sookie, are you offering?” He is joking… maybe a little…

[sooricsource]

Where were you tonight around 11:00? Here, with Yvetta.

[vikingofarea5]

“Oh, Billy. We can’t have it all.”

*As his blue orbs gazed into her brown her smile never wavered. The Queen of the Fae's hands moved to his waist awaiting his question. Her head tilted to the side in anticipation. When he told her she was precious her cheeks turned crimson.* Eric Northman, I am far from that. If I were, I'd be worth a million dollars. *Granted she was because she had created Faery Blood. But that was not what she meant.

When he handed her a vile of his blood, Sookie's eyes brighted.* Eric, I would never say... I'm not ready. But ya know I'll be living for at least 5,000 years, right? *She asked incredulously. Granted I'll become old like my Grandpa Niall. *She laughed at the thought.* But Gran was pretty.

*Being young with Eric forever though... *She took the vial and held it tight bringing it to her heart. It began to beat so fast.* Brown eyes lit up.* You know I won't leave Bon Temps. This is the Stackhouse home. You don't have to live here with me, but I won't move. If you can accept that, I want you to turn me. But... *She slid the necklace around her neck* Not with this. *She patted the vial.* This is MINE to keep close to my heart. You have to turn me.

He could hear the blood pumping through her veins. “You’re worth way more than that, Sookie.” Eric’s voice softened more than his normal tone, years of waiting for this very moment finally coming to fruition. It was euphoric. He extended his ancient old fangs, the sudden traction making a ‘pop’ noise. This meant everything to him…

“And you’re ready? Right now?” He already asked Pamela to secure an open grave for them tonight and several guards to make sure no one tampered with anything in the case she would say yes.
