Calm before the storm?

A/N: I do not own any of the characters they are beautifully owned and originated with Charlane Harris I just borrow them for my own pleasure and hope to share with others. New at writing this genre soooo let's see where it takes us.

Sookie POV

It has been weeks. Well three weeks and two days if you want to be specific. Not one word from Eric. No phone calls, no notes, nothing from Pam either and he hadn"t returned my calls. I haven t felt him as clearly through our bond. He was blocking me, shutting me out. He is angry about everything that happened with Appus, which had to be it. I miss him, but I still do not regret my actions. I would have staked him to free Eric from his thrall.

I can't help but sit here thinking about him. I had the day off today, did a bit of gardening and now I'm just sitting here on the porch sippin my sweet tea. Maybe I should just drive out to Fangtasia I stared out at the horizon and watched the sun dip below the horizon. Yup I'm going to see him.

I stand up and head to the door, I need to dress up for him. I can't help but grin. Next all I felt was pain. I felt the bite and I screamed. Punching and kicking to get away. My attacker pulled back, my blood still dripping from his lips. Victor!

"Now now Ms. Stackhouse, I will admit you taste devine." He creepily smiled down at me. I screamed again hoping anyone would hear me. He dove back down draining me. 'She is mine. Felipe wants her but she will be mine when I turn her. He can kill Northman. The territory and telepath are ours.' My fear and panic picked up hearing him as I felt him start to tear away my clothes. First at shock of hearing him, second they wanted to kill Eric. 'Oh hell'

Eric POV

Pam is yelling at me yet again, telling me I am being an ass for not calling Sookie back. He and her fucking Dear Abby suggestions! She is aggravated by my mood and on some level I know she won't admit, I think she misses her too.

Suddenly I feel her and my eyes widen. Deep fear pain something is wrong. Pam immediately notices my shift in demeanor.

Sookie is in trouble. We both rush out, I go to fly out but Pam grabs my arm to drag me to car. "What?"

"We don't know what trouble she is in. We need to be careful and not get us and her killed." We get in the corvette and she is on the phone. I look at her annoyed at her sarcasm and wonder who she is calling. "Sam? It's Pam. Sookie is in trouble." She pauses "No. We don't know yet. Call Alicide and get the pack out there, its big whatever it is. We are on our way there." I could hear the shifter, he was bitching that I was finally contacting her and if I knew what I put her through. Before I could hear more, Pam hung up she obviously didn't want to hear his tirade.

I let out a howl of anger, she was dying. We pulled up to the house and I saw Victor pinning her to the porch draining her, raping her. I flew out of the car at him and pulled him off before he could react.

"You dare touch my bonded."

"Your bonded!" Victor said laughing with Sookie's blood still falling from his lips. "She didn't even know you were pledged. You tricked her. There is no law broken."

"She is MINE! She is my bonded, my pledged, MY WIFE! You have broken our most sacred laws!" With that I lunged at him wanting nothing more then to tear him apart piece by piece.

Pam POV

As Eric grabbed Victor, I went to Sookie. She was a mess, her clothes gone. Victor had stabbed her as well as tore her throat. I could smell Were. Victor brought back up. I slid my arms around Sookie as gently as possible and quickly carring her into the house. I laid her on the couch, not worrying about the mess it would make.

Too much blood loss. I bit my wrist and brought it to her mouth. I have never given anyone my blood, but it was Sookie and she desperately needed it. She drank from me weakly. She wasn't healing, but the blood was slowing its flow from her. It's only slowed her death not healing her.

A Were kicked in the door and I jumped to attack position, but another Were tackled it to the ground. Alicides pack was attacking Victors Weres . A lion came through the door, it was Sam, I could smell him. He shifted and ran over to us.

"Jesus" He was upset.

"I already gave her blood, it slowed it but she isn't healing." He got up and left the room. He came back with pants on and a bunch of towels. I walked to the door to guard. I watched him lean over her and start to put pressure on the wounds. It was futile to try, but I let him go. Her only chance right now was Eric.

Alicide's pack has taken out Victor's Weres . They are all standing at the perimeter to keep away any interference for Eric. Alicide made his way beside me in the doorway. Still in wolf form but you couldn't miss his scent. I kept standing in the doorway, torn between watching Eric kill Victor and Sookie fighting to hang on.

Sam POV

'Too much blood oh god she's dying too much blood.'

"Hey" Blood is coming out her mouth, I didn't realize she was awake.

"Hey yourself." I smile at her through tears. "You get yourself in the most trouble."

"Listen Felipe ordered." She coughed and more blood came up spraying us both. "To turn me and kill Eric for territory."

"Oh chere, hush now Pam and Eric are here, he is taking care of Victor." Wiping away the blood from her face and I try to stay positive. "Everything will be fine."

"Liar...dying." She is fading.

"No you are not. You stay with me!" I hold her hand and squeeze it, keeping my eyes locked to hers. I am hoping she can see my love and desperation for her to fight.

Sookie POV

I know the second Eric is here. I feel his rage. I hear him yelling at Victor. I feel Pam wrap her arms around me. She put her wrist to my mouth, I drink if only to help me hold on to see Eric just one more time. I hear Pam tell Sam it slowed my death. I was right, I am dying. I feel Sam pushing on my wounds.

"Hey" I could feel the blood on my face.

"Hey yourself." His eyes are teary. "You get yourself in the most trouble." If I wasn't so desperate to tell him what I heard, I would laugh. God was he right. I am a trouble magnet.

"Listen Felipe ordered." I cough and the blood sprays Sam. "To turn me and kill Eric for territory."

"Oh chere, hush now Pam and Eric are here taking care of Victor." He wipes away the blood from my face. "Everything will be fine."

"Liar...dying." I half smile at him.

"No you are not. You stay with me!" I hear him, but I so wanted to close my eyes.

It was at that moment I felt the most rage from Eric. I smile.

"What?" Sam whispers, I assume it's because I smiled.

"Eric won." I hear myself say in a gurgled whisper. I am fighting the blackness that is screaming to take me. I wonder if I will see Claudine again now.

Eric POV

I rip Victor's head from his shoulders and he implodes in a sea of blood. I feel Sookie fading. I rush to her side. She is pale and covered in blood.

"Munsklar" I feel the blood tears on my face.

"I'm sorry." Sookie choked out and more blood poured from her mouth. She is too far gone to save. It is either turn her or let her die.

"Love you" Her eyes close and she was unconscious.

I pulled her into my arms cradling her. No! No! No! I can't lose her but I promised not to change her.

"Turn her." I turned surprised to find it came from Sam. I stared at him, uncaring that he is seeing my bloodtear stained face.

"She didn't want that." My voice was but a whisper as I listened to her heart slow.

"She didn t want this either." Sam is raging at me. "Dammit! Turn her!"

I looked to Pam and Alicide. Pam nodded. Alicide shifted to human form. "Turn her."

"Leave us." I take the blanket from couch and cover her battered body. If Victor wasn't already dead I would kill him again, but slower. "Monsklar forgive me."

I leaned forward and drank from her just a small amount more. I opened my arm and forced the blood into her mouth. I need her strong, she needs to drink deep. There is no guarantee this will work. I whispered to a god I wasn"t sure I believed in to keep her with me. The blood went down her throat but some spilled over, I could no longer tell how much she got in her. She truly was a mess. Victor deserved far worse then he got.

I wrapped the blanket around her, so her bare body was covered. Gently scooped her into my arms and took her out of the house. I could not take my eyes from her face as I walked towards the Corvette.

"Pam. We need to get to my house." She nodded to me and opened the door to the car. I cradled Sookie against my chest, as Pam closed the door.

Alicide yelled that he would clean this all up and to let him know how Sookie was. I could feel Pam's nervous eyes on me and her fear through of bond. She was just as concerned as I. This might not work, after all she was Fae. What will I do if I truly lose her to a final death? Will I greet the sun as Godric did? Smile into the sunlight hoping to see my love again. I cannot lose her.

End...
