Eric Northman, the current Vampire King of N.Y.C, sat in one of his many hot spot clubs that he owned around the world, watching the ever-changing crowd. From his secluded spot above the dance floor, he could not help but think back to all of those centuries ago to when he was the Sheriff of Area 5, in Shreveport, where in another club, unlike this one; he met her – his only real true love. He still thinks of her often.

She never wanted to join him in this life, making him promise not to turn her. There would be no forever for them. Probably just as well, since vampire couples were thought to be a perversion. He smirks just thinking about her.

Once she passed on, he left Louisiana and never looked back. He eventually landed in New York and got in good with the Queen, Caroline Summers. He fucked her a few times, swore his fealty to her and she made him sheriff. She called him a hot commodity and of course, he said, "Indeed." The only thing bigger than Eric's cock was his hubris.

He lived contentedly for several years, until he had to end her. He had learned the hard way that she was a crazy bitch, not unlike Sophie Anne in Louisiana. Once she was gone, he took over her thrown and assumed power. That was almost over a thousand years ago. New York City was lovelier than ever and the humans there loved vampires. It was a fuck and feed fest for all vamps in the Big Apple, but Eric found he was bored as hell.

His child Pam tried to keep him happy and he loved her for it, truly….but he needed more or he thought he may just be the first vampire to die of boredom.

Somewhere on the Upper East Side of the city she was dwelling, his candle in this new coalmine and she was so close, yet so far.

"Traylyn, where are you? Come on!" Naiobi said. "I don't have all night to sit and wait for you to get it together! You want me to go to this damn club, to see if the book is right about me reading vamps, then let's go! You know I am only going cause DRAKE's going to be there performing. Then after the show I'm out," she said.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever, I'm ready."

"Whatever my ass," Naiobi said. "We're taking my car because I'm serious. When I go, you going, too. This is a vampire owned bar/club and I ain't leaving your freaky ass there."

Traylyn smiled. "Come on you prude. Let's get you there, so you can know what fun is!" They both laughed.

"I do know what fun is. I just try to stay in my own world for it," Naiobi sighed, getting into the car.

Traylyn said, "Yeah, the work world and them damn stupid ass books of yours."

Naiobi whispered, "It's safe and quiet."

"I know but since you found out and got the stuff from your Mom - well that book - you been able to block really well, right?"

Naiobi replied, "Yeah, it has helped."

"So then we should be good. What did Rich say about what happened with them fairies?"

"He was mad as shit. The old guy wanted to eat 'em, it looked like, 'til I made them chill out."

Traylyn said, "Shit. A dude just shows up asking about you or should I say pops in. I guess it was a real surprise."

Naiobi said, "Yeah, it was and Rich got over it quickly too. The old dude had skills. He glamoured Rich and then told me all about Fairies and how we are related and all these powers I'm suppose to get soon and all this shit about not aging now that I have turned 23. I thought he was a sicko at first, but everything he said has come to pass. The powers are coming everyday. There's a new one and the popping' shit sent Carlton damn near out the window!"

They both laughed again, picturing Carlton's reaction.

"So, do you think you can hear vampires?"

"I guess we'll soon find out!" Traylyn said excitedly as they pulled in front of the club.

The valet took her keys. "Damn mommies. You fine."

Traylyn said, "Eww. Learn to speak better English, Poppy."

The girls walked off and proceeded to the waiting line but found they didn't have to stand there long because the door person spotted them fast. "You two, come with me."

Naiobi looked at her and mind spoke to Traylyn. "Damn! She's a vampire Tray!"

Tray responded to her in the same mind speak, "Can you get a read on her?"

"Hells yeah. She thinks were hot and fresh meat to the club."

As they walked further into the club, they passed Eric's child Pam. Naiobi heard her think how the girls smelled delicious.

"What da fuck?" Naiobi mind spoke. Traylyn just laughed aloud, making Naiobi blush.

Pam said something to another vampire and he guided them off into a V.I.P section with a great view of the stage. The girls were excited, thinking they were going to get a good look at Mr. DRAKE and who ever his guest was. They were hoping it was Wayne as they relaxed into their seats, waiting for a waitress to come get their drink order. Before they could blink, one appeared, asking what they would be drinking tonight. Naiobi ordered a strong strawberry daiquiri and Traylyn ordered a triple shot of tequila with a Corona and lime.

"Coming right up, ladies," the server flirted, freaking the girls out. They just realized she was a vampire. She sashayed away, but not before looking back over her shoulder and licking her lips in a teasing way, while subtly sniffing the air.

Naiobi said in her mind voice, "You think I'm blocking that smell thingie that dude Niall was talking 'bout? 'Cause these vamps keep sniffing the air around us, Tray."

"I sure, 'cause if it was in full form you'd be dinner by now. Remember, he said you'd smell really sweet to them, but not like a full fairy, unless you use the magic. And you ain't using the magic right?"

"Well we're only talking, so I guess not."

Tray said, "So just chill. It's cool. They ain't gonna do anything in a club full of people and shit you can take 'em anyway! That book from ya momz told you that, so don't let it faze you. Let's just have fun and enjoy the show."

The vampire waitress returned with their drinks. When Naiobi went to pay her, she shook her head, "No need. The Master took care of it. He says to enjoy the show."

Naiobi said, "The who?"

"Master," Felicia responded as if the girl was slow. "The drinks are on the house. And my name is Felicia, if you need anything else." She bowed slightly and hustled away from the table, this time no flirting or air sniffing. She almost seemed afraid of them, all of a sudden.

Traylyn answered Naiobi's confused look, "The owner, Naiobi. He's a vampire and he's her master."

"Get the fuck outta here! For real? You have to be shitting me, right?"

Naiobi started looking around them for someone who looked like a master. She had no idea what one looked like, but assumed he would be menacing looking. Maybe someone with a weapon by their side, to keep everyone in line.

Suddenly, she felt a chill climb up her spine. It was that feeling, like she was being watched, but chalked it up to the vampires sniffing around them. To be sure, she started scanning the area of the club they were sitting in and caught sight of a big - no – a huge blond guy and he was checking them out, too. Well, he was checking her out anyway and she just stared at him in return, not being able to look away.

Eric caught the girl looking at him, just as he had located her. Pam had given him the tip that a beautiful sweet smelling young girl was in the club. He immediately sent out word that she was not to be touched and all her drinks were on the house. Felicia had been the first to report in that the girls were seated in her section, so he began looking for them.

Once he found her, he couldn't keep his eyes off her. When she looked at him with those big blue eyes, so innocent, he said to himself, "She looks like her. Who is she?"

Because all of her focus was intent on him, she was able to catch his thoughts just like that, snapping her out of her trance. She quickly turned her head and mind spoke to Traylyn. "I think I've spotted him and you're right, he's the head vampire. He wants to know who I am. He's so huge and blond!"

Traylyn automatically turned around like a dumb ass, causing Naiobi to smack her hand.

"Shit! Damn! Fuck! He's headed this way!"

Eric moved at vampire speed, not wanting the girls to get away, but also anxious to speak with them. The way he moved really fucked Naiobi's head up, but not Traylyn because she had some experience with vampires. Before they can mind speak again he was right by their booth and spoke with a voice laced with pure sex, "Are you two lovely ladies enjoying yourselves?"

Naiobi looked up at him while Traylyn just gawked. Both were equally stunned but for very different reasons. At the same time they replied, "Yeah. Nice place!" sounding like a pair of Siamese twins. Their reaction made Eric smile.

Naiobi looked at Traylyn and in her mind voice said, "Damn he's fine!"

"Tell me about it!" Then Traylyn looked pointedly at Naiobi, "Wait, you're actually looking at somebody? Damn girl that is progress!" Naiobi rolled her eyes.

Eric was watching this odd exchange. If he hadn't had previous experience with a gifted woman, he would have thought the girls were either intoxicated or just dumb. But, he knew otherwise.

Naiobi caught his train of thought and just shut down. Tray looked at her curiously, but she just cast her eyes down. "He knows!" she screamed in her head.

Covering it up, Traylyn started, "Hi! My name is Traylyn Canton. What a very nice place you got here!"

Eric barely gave Traylyn a second thought. He was looking at Naiobi with interest. She wouldn't return his glare, because she was so scared and nervous. He got that and decided to play along. "Nice to meet you, Miss Canton. It seems that your friend is either shy or she just realized I'm vampire." He smiled a soft smile that reached his beautiful eyes.

At that moment, Naiobi looked at him and said, "It's not the vampire thing at all. Everyone has some Supe in them, these days it seems." Her and Traylyn started to laugh at their inside joke.

Eric smiled that smile again because he knew he frightened her, but he just didn't know why, not getting her comment.

"Well, I'm Eric Northman and you are?" he asked, holding out his hand in the traditional human way, hoping to make her feel more comfortable with him.

"Naiobi Stockard," she said shyly, putting her hand in his. She felt a sudden jolt of energy that made her eyes bug out at him and he just smiled like he didn't feel it too. Of course he had and that was all he needed to decide that she would not be leaving here tonight without knowing all about her. Either he would convince her to reveal it herself or he was going do a little search of his own.

"The show is about to start. Will you join me in my section? It is even closer then this."

Traylyn said, "Why not?" Naiobi just looked at her, scared to speak in her mind voice again in his presence.

Eric looked at Naiobi and said, "Please Miss Stockard, join me. There is no need to feel afraid."

Naiobi got her feelings in check and said looking him in the eyes, "I'm good."

"Please, follow me."

They grabbed their drinks and followed him to the far right of the club, right next to the stage! As Eric promised, their new location had a much better view of the stage.

"What do you think?"

"It's like we are sitting right in their laps!" Tray cried.

Looking directly at Eric, Naiobi replied, "Indeed."

Eric smiled that smile again. It was so intimidating that it made her look away from him as he pulled out a chair for each of them, making sure to seat Naiobi next to him. He felt her tense and tried to make amends. "Are you going to be uncomfortable being so close to me? I do understand how some feel about closed in spaces and if it bothers you, I can move."

Naiobi smiled at his attempts at being accommodating. "No. I'm fine, thank you Mr. Northman."

"Please, call me Eric."

"Okay. And you can call me Naiobi."

As Eric sat down next to her he said, "Is that what your friend here calls you? Because I would really like to call you whatever she does."

Traylyn smiled. "You ain't that friendly yet!" she said, laughing.

Eric returned her laugh and smile. "Touché, Miss Canton."

"I'm just playin'. You can call me Traylyn."

"Traylyn, I plan on getting to know Naiobi very well, if she will allow me," he said ominously.

Naiobi spoke up after watching her friend interact with the powerful vampire, "Well that depends on how well you're behaving!" She smirked at him and he did that smile again, loving how she reacted to it and to him.
