This is my take on how Season 6 should have started. Silly TB writers. I do not own anything from True Blood, HBO, C. Harris or any of her characters. But I wish I did. Reviews welcome!

As Eric handed Sookie the piece of paper that let her have her house back. She slowly took it from his hand. The look on his face was tender but cautious. This would keep all vampires out of Sookie's house, including him if she rescinded his invitation. Sookie said "thank you". Eric stated, "Stay away from Bill." Sookie replied with "I will". Eric was getting ready to leave, when Sookie touched his arm.

"Eric, I have no right to ask this after everything we have been through tonight, or everything the last few weeks, but I need your help." Eric turned around and he could feel Sookie's fear and apprehension.

"What trouble are you in now Sookie?" Sookie frown, "it is a long story, and I know you have a lot happening now with the Governor's announcement and Bill or Lilith or whatever he is now, but I think I am engaged to ancient fairy name Warlow". As soon as she got the name out of her mouth, Nora was at the threshold of the door. "Warlow!, what do you know of Warlow?" Eric growled at Nora, and then spoke to Sookie very calmly. "Sookie I am not sure who that is but apparently my sister would like to talk about it. Can you invited her in, I promise she will behave, isn't that right Nora?" Eric's glare was determined as he looked at Nora, and she nodded, knowing that he meant her not to smell or try to bite Sookie.

"Nora, please come in." said Sookie with some sarcasm in her voice. As Nora stepped in, Sookie got the old paper that had the fae writing on it. "Do you know what any of this means?" talking to Nora. Eric had now moved next to Sookie incase his sister could not control herself. "I don't know what this means, but Warlow is in the book of Lilith as being the first vampire that was made. How do you know of him?"

Sookie sighed, "This is why I was at the Fae club when you got Russell. I was looking for answers about this paper. I found it under Gran's bed. My great-great-great grandfather told Warlow he could have the first born fey female child. Apparently that is me. He is suppose to marry me or mate with me or whatever old fairies do. The club fairies believe that Warlow is coming to get me soon. Lafayette actually saw something in my bathroom. A spirit or something. He is coming for me, just don't know when."

"Fascinating' said Nora. "Warlow is on his way here, and he can stop Bill." Nora was very excited. " Eric I must get to my book of Lilith and try to make sense of this." Eric said while pointing his finger at Nora, "Go find Pam and Tara, and I will meet you soon. It is almost dawn, and we need to figure out what to do about this mess Bill has made for us."

Nora vamped sped out the door. Eric turned to Sookie. " Looks like we need each other once again." He smiled and touched Sookie's face. "Don't worry Sookie, we will figure this out" and he kissed her forehead. Sookie grabbed his arm, pulled him in and hugged him. "Eric thank you for everything. As much as you can infuriate me, you always do help me." Eric held her for an extra moment longer. "Dawn is coming, but I will have a plan soon." He smiled at Sookie and she smiled back. Eric vamped sped to Fangtasia. Sookie stood at the door, and looked at the ancient paper and hoped that Eric would come up with a plan.

Back at Fangtasia, Eric had discovered that Tara had been shot with a UV light bullet by the governor's vampire swat team. Once he got the bullet out, immediately Pam and Nora had a discussion (aka fight) about what was happening, Eric had enough. "I am going to go to ground, which I suggest you all do," he stated with a loud thunderous voice. Eric was extremely annoyed with what had happen in the last few hours. Between Billilth, and now an ancient fairy named Warlow, and the governor's new marshal law on vampires, he had more than he could handle. He so wish he had Godric around to help. His last thoughts before the sun took him over was that of Sookie, and how he would have liked to have stayed at the cubby for his day rest just in case Warlow was near.

Sookie's last thoughts before bed were that of Eric and that she was grateful that he was willing to help especially after rejecting him a few weeks ago. She could feel that he still cared for him. And she cared for him too. When she saw that Bill was going to kill Eric tonight, she could not hold herself back from staking Bill. Just like when she thought Eric was going to kill Bill the night of the Tolerance Festival. She could not let Bill die then, she could not let Eric die tonight. She truly did love them both. But each had lied to her in their own ways. Bill was her first love and she gave all herself to him. Even though in the end, the lies he told were too many to count . Everything had seemed fake to about their relationship now. Eric on the other hand, he had changed. As much as he lied, and manipulated her from the moment he met her, he always try to protect her. He never gave up on her when she disappeared to Fae. He restored her home. The feelings they shared while he was under the witch's spell were ones she wished they kept. He said he still loved her, but she was too scared to give him a chance. She needed to be on her own for a little while. And now they were back together again, trying to save Bill, if they could. And now with Warlow, they may also have a common enemy. As she fell asleep, she prayed Eric would come up with a good plan, and wished she had asked him to stay in the cubby so she would feel safer.

A/N: What did you think? Next time, Jason and Grandpa make an appearance. Eric visits the governor's mason but not as a geeky interviewer...

thanks for reading!
