181I am a horrible, horrible horrible person! I know! And I apologise! Seriously, from the bottom of my heart I can honestly say that I am terribly sorry! I swear I think about my stories almost everyday but, I make these awesome plotlines and stuff, but their in my freakin head. And that sucks because I forget them and I have the attention span of a fly. Seriously, during the day I will think up atleast 3 different characters for this story, I'll start writing a new intro, then when the intro's done, I'll get REALLY annoyed with myself and try to write this one, or ones already posted on here. But... I dunno, like I said. Attention span, of a freakin fly. Anyways, I'm rambling and I hate that. But to any and I mean ANY old fans that have been waiting almost 4 months for this chapter, FOUR FREAKIN MONTHS NEARLY, I am SINCERELY sorry. ALSO, I would like to thank all the reviewers, because I went through your reviews yesterday and decided to get down to it, and write this chapter! Without you, this would have taken a LOT longer. THANK YOU! (ramble over)
"ERRRIIICCCCCC," I whined from his really, incredibly, hobbit-like, small kitchen. I heard a loud sigh come from the other room, soon followed by an object crashing. I had been at Eric's for a few nights now. Apparently, he got annoyed with me going to work with him. Something about him not liking me hacking his computer and being a child. I dunno, anyways it was night 4 at Eric's and all I had eaten was toast for the past 4 days.
"WHAT?" He yelled before almost ripping the door off the hinges as he entered the kitchen, seething. The minute he entered the room, it suddenly shrank, to half its size. Eric is a fucking giant, okay? And his damn kitchen? TINY!
"I want M&M's," I said pouting. Eric ran a hand through his hair and cringed.
"Well, I don't have any," He said and turned to exit the room. His stupid sexy butt catching my eye... wait, blood bond. Stop the dirty thoughts! STOP THEM! I heard Eric chuckle and he turned back around. I gave him a sheepish smile and looked away. As he approached, my personal space bubble... well, it was practically getting raped, okay? Eric was making my personal space his bitch... HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
"If you even think about offering me your so called 'nuts' North-pole-man, I will crack the biggest tantrum the world and likes of a thousand year old vampire, has ever seen," I said and placed a hand on my hip. I am in a 'no bullshit' mood.
"Well..." He began as he placed two hands on the counter, either side of my small frame. Eric had officially murdered my personal space. He raped it, cut it into tiny little pieces, burnt it on a fire, and then scattered the ashes. My personal space, was no more. I'd have to have a funeral in memorial to it... like hell was I inviting Mr. Northpoleman though!
"I could show you one of the biggest things the world has ever seen aswell..." He said, seductively. And like that my 'no bullshit' mood was gone. And I was trying to think of a – WAIT ONE COTTON PICKENING SECOND... did I just say 'seductively' regarding Eric... I have obviously been gone from human contact too long... TOO LONG!
"You sir, are a pig!" I said and slapped his face. I knew it wouldn't hurt him though, he's a freaking 1000 year old vampire... what's he gunna do, CRY? Puh-lease. I grabbed the toast that I had made and I almost had to crawl underneath Eric's arms they're that freaking big. I jumped into one of the dining room chairs and ate my toast. Eric didn't have much in his pantry. Some bread, spreads for said bread and a few healthy cereals. So, toast was the obvious answer, like I'd eat something healthy...
"I'll require your assistance again tonight," Eric said casually as he walked into the room. No, 'walked' isn't the right word... he... strutted... no that's not right either. Now, I just had an image of Eric dancing in flares.
"Stupid inner monologue," I muttered, unknowingly at Eric, who I just happened to be staring at that whole time.
"What?" He said and raised an eyebrow. He also chuckled.. at my monologue... how dare he! He sat down next to me at the table and I rolled my eyes.
"So what, I have an inner monologue... it helps me sort things out sometimes..." I said and went back to eating my toast...
"Well, Sookie must have a fun time reading your thoughts," He said and I only just realised that Eric said he needed my assistance... again.
"What do you need me to do?" I asked and munched on my toast some more.
"I know that last time we... had a 'discussion', with someone in the basement, you began to feel ill,"
"'ill'? I felt like I was going to cough up my lung and my nose was about to fall off... not to mention my head-"
"Regardless," He said interrupting me. He soon appeared right next to me, again, my personal space was non-existent. I gulped rather loudly... to my dismay and I knew Eric liked seeing me scared.
"Working over this prisoner means not only a lot to me, but to Godric aswell. We have been searching for the person in charge of this man for almost 1000 years," Why the hell would Eric be searching for someone for all of his vampire life... maybe Godric had a beef with them?
"I don't have to tell you how important it is to me that this prisoner complies. He is the only lead we have because, until recently, I assumed the pack master was dead. Killed in world war 2," I nodded along with him, confused but understanding. If it meant a lot to Godric and him, then I'd help. Even though to Eric I was only a consolation prize compared to Sookie, I still liked him... somewhat. Call it the effects of the vampire blood or whatever, but I did like him.
"So... I mean, if you thought the packmaster was dead... how do you know this guy... or whatever, is like, working for the guy you're looking for?" I asked nervously playing with my hands. The thought of 'working over someone', made me feel ill. But, I suppose I had to. A deals a deal... damn I'm so dumb, I practically made a deal with the devil!
"There has been some... activity in the vampire world that I can only assume is his cause. Last night there was a visitor at my bar, a customer, he wore the same symbol from 1000 years ago," He said and I got really confused... Although, I decided not to ask many questions... I mean, the less you know about a vamps business... the better... I think.
"Okay," I nodded.
We arrived at the bar a little while later. Eric was annoying me all the way in the car, just his presence it was so... ANNOYING! When we walked in... I squealed instantly and ran to a figure, that looked oh so familiar.
"Godric!" I said as I jumped on him and wrapped my arm around him. He laughed at me and hugged me back. We had been talking on the phone, yesterday I think.
"I missed you!" I said happily and let him go. He smiled at me... he freakin smiled... I LOVE that smile.
"And I, you. Although, I don't understand why you are here... the bar is not open tonight," He said and I blushed... umm... did I not tell him about me having powers... how the hell does that not get worked into a conversation?
"I brought her here. She's going to help us get to the prisoner," Godric looked past me and at Eric, sternly. He did not look happy. They then began to get into some foreign language argument and I got confused again. But that's what I get... for being involved with vampires. Pam came over to me, in all her pretty barbie-doll glory.
"Come on honey, let's leave the guys to talk," She said and we both walked to Eric's office. I sat down in the couch and, in an action that freaked me the hell out, she sat next to me.
"Soooo..." She drawled looking at her nails.
"So..." I said and fiddled with my fingers.
"Who do you wanna fuck more, Eric or Godric?" She said, getting straight to the point. I mean... who... says that? Isn't that kinda personal? My jaw dropped and she laughed at me.
"Oh please honey, you wanna fuck one of them more. Don't tell me you were looking for some double teaming action?"
"Ew... Pam just... ew! I don't want to screw either of them, thank you very much!" I said and looked at her.
"Come on, no doubt Eric's been putting some moves on you, and Godric and you are having long distance phone calls... for hours from what I hear. You gotta want to fuck one of them," She said and again my jaw dropped.
"Okay, let me clear something up. To Eric, I am nothing. I'm just like... a business deal that can benefit him in some way, and I don't want to 'fuck', as you so bluntly put it, anyone that thinks of me in that way. The minute Eric gets an opening with Sookie, Imma be tossed out of his house and care quicker than I can say 'asshole'. And Godric? I like him. I wouldn't mind going on a date with him but... I mean... 'fucking' anyone at this point in time just... confuses and scares the hell outta me. Besides, like either of 'em want white trash, I'm just a snivellly brat to 'em. A burden, just like I was to my parents," Okay, so, I have no idea where that train of thought came from, but, I mean, that's all I was to them. A burden placed on Eric, and the only reason he took that burden was because it would get him into the good books with Sookie. And with Godric, I mean, I really, really like him. But, obviously, he wasn't interested. The way he almost immediately left me after we got close. I didn't deserve happiness anyways. Wow, I'm really depressing today. Pam stopped looking at her nails and looked me in the eye.
"Honey that is a load of complete and utter crap," For the third time... my jaw dropped. Pam is just full of surprises.
"What the hell ya on 'bout?"
"If you were just a business deal to Eric, I honestly doubt he would let you stay at his home. You the only woman ever that I have seen in Eric's home, business or not, that means something. And Godric? You honestly think vampires go around hugging humans? Please. The minute he saw you he smiled, and from what I've heard, he hasn't been smiling too much these days," So, turns out, Pam is like a friggin' fly on the wall, and she knows all...
"What's ya point?" I asked, still confused.
"My point is, even though your parents got it into your cute little head that you're a worthless piece-of-shit, ya aint. And considering that's coming from me, Eric and Godric, three vampires, that means something. Especially since vampires don;t usually make friends with humans. So, get your pretty head out of your perfect ass and go after one of them vampires," I... I think I just got told... Imma need a napkin because I just got served... I... I'm lost for words. Since when was Pam... almost nice!
"Problem Pam... ummm... although you may be a master of seduction or whatever... I only had my first kiss like 2 weeks ago! And I've never been on a damn date, how the hell am I supposed to 'go after one of them vampires'?" Pam looked at me again and sighed.
"Well, Sweetie. If I were you, I'd choose which one to go after first of all, then we'll talk," She said before getting up off of the couch and walking to the door. She opened it and ushered me out. We went to the middle of the bar and Godric and Eric were still fighting... I think. Or they were speaking German... I mean, no offence but, the German language just... it seems so aggressive to me! I stood there for a little bit, before getting annoyed. Wasn't I supposed to be the child here?
"ENOUGH!" I yelled. All three vampires looked at me and I got a little sheepish.
"I mean... don't we have business or whatever to attend?" I asked and the two male vampires looked at each other with daggers before Godric spoke.
"We will discuss this later," He said and walked up to me. I really wish I knew what the hell the fight was about. Well, at least they didn't hear mine and Pam's discussion... that woulda been awkward.
"If you do not wish to do this, you do not have to. You have a will, and although Eric has already told me that he has claimed you, and that you have made a deal on the pretences that he will not interfere with Bill and Sookie, you have a right to choose weather or not to torture this man," Damn... shit really was intense these days.
"It's okay Godric. I mean..." I looked at Eric mid-sentence.
"This guys a bad guy right? You're not just going to make me torture some innocent man... right?" Eric walked up to us, still, I don't know what to call his walk... strutting though, definitely isn't the right word.
"This man came to fangtasia two nights ago and almost killed a human and a vampire. He would not have stopped unless me and Pam hadn't intervened," I nodded.
"Okay then, that's good enough. I... I made a deal with Eric and I have to honour it anyways..." Otherwise I may just be stabbed in my sleep and hung up, upside like a bat on a branch. Godric nodded and looked at Eric.
"We had best get started then," Eric said and I followed him into the dungeon... never thought I'd say that sentence... at least... I didn't think I'd follow anyone into a torture dungeon willingly. When we got down there, there was a man strung up just like Rocco was. I was in there for a few hours minimum with Godric and Eric. The first time Godric saw what I could do... I swear he almost looked disappointed. But, I mean, not like I had a choice... well... I made a deal , and I was gunna honour it. They asked all odd questions, like who his master was. Where he came from, what his pack was called. It was weird. The man didn't let any piece of information slip, except for one small thing, that he had an addiction for V. After being down there for so long, and torturing someone for so long, I felt really bad. My nose was bleeding and I felt ill to my stomach. I caught sight of Godric, right before I fainted. Awesome... just... just awesome.
When I woke up I was back at Eric's house and the sun was up. Good, I finally get a damn break from those vampires. I sat up and then fell back down.
"Ouuuchhhhhhh," I said clasping my head. The pain!
"Eric gave you a fair bit of his blood, I was certain it would have healed you," Godric said from a dark spot in the corner of the room. Oh... great... vampires. Although Godric's a nice vampire... so... now I have mixed emotions about his visit. Why can't he be a mean vampire so I hate his visits... grrr. Wow, that's a confusing train of thought. I turned to him, then a horrible pain came from my stomach and I doubled over... in bed. That right there is skill.
"It really hurts," I mentioned and Godric flicked the switch at the side of the door to make the room light tight. After it was safe for him to walk over to me in bed, he did. He sat down next to me and the pain in my stomach started up again, as well as the pain in my head.
"This should not be happening, the amount Eric gave you, it was more than enough,"
"Well, obviously it wasn't!" I yelled at him before another pain wave was sent through my body. This time, I could feel it, making its way slowly up my spine, to my head. Just brilliant. Godric lifted me up into his arms and I squealed in pain.
"PUT ME DOWN, PUT ME DOWN!" I cried but the stupid vampire didn't listen, instead he put his stupid cold hand on my stupid forehead and looked at me... stupidly.
"You're burning up,"
"Well, you're a vampire! Maybe it's just coz you're so freakin' cold man!" Godric rushed me into the bathroom that was connected to my bedroom. He gently placed me on the ground and then disappeared.
"HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO HELP ME?" I yelled and another wave of pain went up my spine. It was like I imagined giving birth would be like.. only.. I wasn't pregnant as far as I knew. Unless I was giving birth to a new baby Jesus... through my brain... I'm almost 90% certain that's What's happening.
Godric came back and poured some ice into the tub, then disappeared again. I was sprawled out like an eagle on the floor, to afraid to move because of the pain. He did it again, 4 times before finally Eric came in. Godric was still getting ice, but here was Eric standing in the doorway with a nose bleed. If I could, I'd give that bastard a nose bleed aswell.
"That's Karma, bitch!" I yelled before regretting it and clutching my head again.
"I can feel all of your pain..." He said through clenched teeth. He walked over to me and looked at the tub, before looking back at me and smirking. My eyes went wide in realisation.
"Eric Northman, don't you dare take my clothes off and throw me in that tub!" He crouched at my side before whispering to me.
"I won't... at least, I won't put you in the tub... alone..." FUCKING VAMPIRES!
Again... I'm horrible and this is a serious chapter and I know I was supposed to have Eric and Godric bonding time... but I went for Pam in this chapter. Don't fear! They shall all bond NEXT chapter! My writing style has changed... I don't know if it's for better or worse but... it's changed... I hope it's for better. Tell me if you hate it or not and I'll try and fix it.
