Helaina OUT!
Eighteen years ago...
"Pam! Get the door."
Eric heard his progeny grumble loudly and storm through the house, opening the door quickly and snapping to whoever was on the other side. Eric wasn't paying much attention, but when a familiar face walked through his office door he was at full alert.
"April." Eric smiled seductively, leaning back on his chair. "What has it been? Two hundred years?"
"I need you to repay your debt."
Eric's eyebrows rose, but his face remained otherwise unchanged; he raised his hand and motioned for her to sit. April walked fully into the room, and it was only when she took her seat across from the vampire that he noticed the small bundle in her arms. "What it that?"
She said nothing, but met his cold gaze unblinking. "This is the debt."
"A human child?" He sneered. "What would you require me do with it?"
"Raise it."
"Raise it?" He growled. "Out of the question!"
April laughed, her brown her bouncing as she did so. "I'm afraid you have no choice, Eric. You owe me a debt, and this is how you are to repay it." She stood from her seat, walking around the desk to Eric. "You will raise her, however you wish; but you shall not harm her, or I will kill you and your own child"
Eric's fanged popped out, as he squared up to her angrily.
"Eric, you know I am not afraid of you. I could kill you in a blink if I so wished." She looked up at him with a grin, and then slowly handed him the bundle.
Eric's fangs retracted, taking the child that was forced upon him. "You cannot ask this of me..."
"I can and I am!" She snapped. "You will do fine, did you not once have a younger sister?"
Eric's jaw tightened, but he nodded.
"Then I am positive you will manage, you just need to make sure she survives; that is all I ask of you."
"Our debt will be repaid?"
She nodded. "It shall, I will ask nothing more of you."
April quickly left the office and started towards the door, but Eric was quick behind her. "This is a lot to ask of me, how can you trust I won't just kill her?"
April grinned. "Because you promised Godric."
And then she left, walking out into the night with a smile on her face. "Oh!" She spun to face him once again. "She doesn't have a name yet, so pick something nice!"
And then Eric was left alone.
He closed the door and walked back into the house, walking blindly into a room and sitting on a sofa. It was then he pulled back the cloth and stared at the child for the first time.
She was sleeping, and so quiet for a human child... Eric leant closer to her and quickly drew back, realizing that she smelt... strange.
"What the fuck is that?"
Eric looked up to see Pam standing in the room, staring at the child in his arms.
"This, Pam, is a baby."
Pam sneered at it. "I can see that, Master, but what the hell is it doing here?"
"An old friend has called on me to fulfil a debt. This child will be residing with us."
"You can't be serious!" She gasped.
"I am deadly serious." He said sternly. "This debt will be repaid, we will raise this child."
Pam stared at her maker and the child for a few moments. "I will not change it." She said pointedly.
Eric smirked at her. "I would expect nothing less, we will hire someone to care for it; but there is something more important we must deal with..."
Pam frowned. "And what is that?"
"A name." Eric said, placing the newborn in his lap. "Apparently she has not been named."
Pam walked over to Eric and stared down at the child. "How about 'mini human'? Or 'blood bag'?"
"Freyja." Eric said quietly.
Pam scrunched her nose. "Why 'Freyja'?"
"Because I have decided." He snapped.
The sudden sound was enough to jostle Freyja from her sleep, and look around at the strange new place she was in. Her eyes were the strangest shade of green, and they were so piercing that even Pam was taken aback. Freyja's eyes travelled across the room before they finally landed on Eric. Eric said nothing, nor did he move, he merely watched the child with fascination.
Freyja gave Eric a confused look, and then opened her small mouth. Eric assumed she was about to begin crying, but when a gleeful laugh filled the room, he was frozen in shock.
Pam chuckled. "She seems to like you."
"So it seems..." Eric said. "I suppose that will make this a lot easier."

Five years later...
Freyja hid in the dark, her heart hammering in her chest. They couldn't find her, she prayed that they wouldn't find her...
"Freyja..." A taunting voice sounded on the other side of the door. He was looking for her... "Freyja, make this easier for yourself and come out now. The punishment wont be as bad as you think."
The young girl said nothing, only covered her mouth with her hands to lessen the sound of her breathing.
"Found you."
Freyja's eyes widened as she was forced from the cupboard with in human speed and dropped on the ground. "No!" She screeched. But those screeches quickly changed into laughter as Eric continued to tickle her ribs. "P-please! Sto-op!"
"I warned you..." He grinned evilly. "But you wouldn't listen."
"Eric nooo! Pam help me!"
Pam was standing in the doorway looking eternally bored, but there was the tiniest hint of amusement in her eyes. "He did warn you, human..."
"This sucks!" Freyja yelled one last time, before Eric finally relented.
In the blink on an eye Freyja had leapt up and onto Eric's back, her arms around his neck. Eric took her wrists and stood at his full height."But little one, I do suck."
Freyja rolled her eyes. "I don't mean like that, silly vampire. I meant... You suck!"
Eric chuckled at her lack of words, and Freyja didn't like that. "Pam, he's being mean..." She held out an arm for her, and she in turn rolled her eyes; walking over to the child and taking her in her arms.
"If you'll excuse us Eric, I'm going to dress her in pink."
Freyja's eyes widened, and she looked to Eric. "Help!"
"Oh hush!" Pam snapped. "We have a deal remember? You let me dress you up, and I don't put you in the dog cage."
Freyja huffed and crossed her arms. "Fine.."
"That's more like it." Pam said in her sickly sweet tone. "I like having my little doll to dress up."
"Be nice Pam..." Eric called after her, shaking his head.

Ten years later
"Wine please, sir!"
Longshadow looked at the young girl sitting on the barstool at Fangtasia. "Nice try, little lady, but no dice. You know the rules."
Longshadow looked at the pouting girl with curiosity. Here she was, a young girl sitting in a recently opened vampire bar surrounded by fangbangers and the undead, and yet she wasn't fazed in the slightest. Then again he wasn't exactly surprised, she was raised by Eric Northman.
"Come on, please!" She begged, pouting her lips and batting her eyelashes.
"No." Longshadow said. "Eric has summoned you."
Freyja raised an eyebrow, and then looked up to the stage to see Eric staring at her sternly. "Woops! Looks like he caught me." She looked at Longshadow with a mischievous gleam in her eyes, before sauntering up to the stage and bowing dramatically. "Your highness..." She said with a grin.
The corner of Eric's lips twitched in amusement, and he motioned for her to sit. "Sluta med att köpa alkohol."
She pouted. "Men jag uttråkade! Jag vill göra något..."
Eric sighed. "Freyja... There is something we need to discuss."
Freyja looked at the Viking curiously. "What is it?"
"Have you ever thought of boarding school..?"

Present day...
Eric lunged at Sookie, with murderous intent in his eyes. "I do not respond well to threats..." Sookie was frozen, keeping his gaze and visibly relaxing when he backed down. "But perhaps we can come to some sort of arrangement... Please." He motioned towards his office with a smirk, and then followed behind them.
But when he saw that they had stopped in the doorway, both of their jaws slack, he frowned; quickly pushed past them to see what had them so shocked. It was a woman.
She was sitting on his desk with one foot on the table and the other casually stretched out onto a chair, wearing knee high white socks, a short plaited skirt, and a white blouse with very few buttons done up. Her long black hair was up in pig-tails, and her green eyes met Eric's with amusement.
"Hello daddy, miss me?"
So..? Review what you thought ^,.,^
