True Blood

Almost Home

I watched Bill as he was sleeping before I heard a knock on the door 

"Eric!" I cry as I fling the door open and I watch him smirk as he grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him  

"Nice robe." he whispers but my eyes drift back to his veins...which aren't there 

"Where are your veins?" I ask 

"Gone." he responds 

"Are you healed?" I ask feeling tears come to my eyes as I grip his face and he smiles 

"Well, I can't tell you how... but I came looking for you because I wanted you to know I'm gonna be okay and that I've got many years left with you" he whispers and I smile at the thought before shaking my head and realising something 

"Bill's sick." I whisper 

"What?" Eric asks and his face goes cold again 

"Hep-V. He has it. Is there something you're not understanding? If there's a cure, he needs it." I whisper 

"There is one. It's not ready yet." he sighs looking like he was drifting off into his own thoughts 

"What do you mean, it's not ready? Whatever it is, it worked on you." I cry and I watch as he walks away 

"Give me a minute to think." he whispers but i grab onto his jacket 

"No, no. Eric, he's dying. It's accelerating at a crazy rate because of Sookies blood." I cry but he sighs 

"Dawn is coming." he whispers  

"I don't give a shit." I scream 

"Megs, I'll come back tomorrow night." he says and I shake my head sobbing now 

"I don't think he even has until tomorrow night." I whisper put he quickly wipes my tears with his fingers  

"Trust me. Stay here. I'll be back." he whispers and I sigh as he disappears before I look back one more time in the house before running off as I get into my car I drive to Fangtasia where I see a bunch of men standing with guns and I step out of the car with my hands raised 

"I'm here to see Eric Northman. I'm a friend." I say but all I get is people yelling at me in a different language 

"In English? Any of y'all speak English?" I ask 

"What's your business here?" a man asks and I sigh 

"I'm hereto see Eric Northman" I say 

"You are a very brave girl. Brave and stupid." he says as he brings me into the building where I see Eric and Pam talking with some other man 

"I don't mean to bother y'all. I was just hoping for a minute alone with Eric." I whisper and the man laughs before looking over at Eric 

"Tell me, how do you two knew each other?" the man asks 

"She's just another fang banger. I fucked her once a couple years ago and now I can't get rid of her. She keeps coming back for more." Eric says and I feel a pain in my heart for a second 

"Well, if that's true... what a very lucky man you are. If all this girl is to you is just another fangbanger... why are you protecting her?" the man asks grabbing my throat 

"I'm not protecting her. But this particular fangbanger's brother happens to be with the sheriffs department. And if she were to go missing, he'd come looking for her. He's done that in the past. Let me take care of this. I'll glamour her. That'll leave us less vulnerable." Eric says and the man nods before Eric quickly steps up to me as he pretends to glamour me 

I don't fucking trust these two. But he wouldn't fuck me, not now with what's' downstairs. But something ain't fucking right. the mans voice is inside my head 

"You will never come back here. You will get back in your car and you will drive home. And should I ever feel inclined to see you..l will come to you. You never saw these men, you never saw me." Eric says giving me a kiss on the lips 

"I never saw you." I whisper and he smiles 

"Excellent. Off you go." he says and I quickly turn around and walk out of there. But as I sit in my car I sigh before quickly running towards the backway and flinging the door open with my magic as I walk into the cell I see Sarah sitting there as I remember Eric mentioning her from the lab I quickly grab the rag out of her mouth 

"Oh, Meghan Stackhouse. You're a miracle. I knew it from the first day I laid eyes on you." she says and I roll my eyes 

"Tell me about the cure." I hiss 

"I will, I promise you. First you gotta get me out of here." she says and I laugh 

"No fucking way. Tell me what you know." I say and she sighs 

"You and I. Have a chance to deliver peace unto earth for all time. A return to Eden. But first, you gotta get me the fuck out of this dungeon of hell." she says and I sigh before putting the cloth back over her mouth 

"I knew no good could come from you talking." I spit and then I quickly grab her hands and flashbacks of Eric biting her then healing comes through my head  "Even as the cure, you're still the fucking problem. But I'm not letting you ruin the life...of one more person that I love." I hiss before I leave the dungeon and when I finally get to Bills house I fly up the stairs 

"There's a cure." I cry as I spot jessica

"What?" she asks 

"It's a motherfucker to explain, but it's real. Eric is completely healed.  Hundred percent. I'll explain it to you on the way to Fangtasia. We gotta get Bill so we can leave the second the sun goes down." I say and before I know it we're at Fangtasia again but this time with Bill 

"What part of "I will come to you" did you not understand?" Eric says as his eyes fly to mine when we enter the dungeon 

"Oh, fuck. You look like shit." Pam says as she looks at Bill in disgust 

"Why, thank you, Pam. You look well." Bill says looking over at Eric  

"Well, I'm feeling pretty well. You'll tell no one about this." Eric says and I nod before he smiles at Bill  

"Go ahead." Eric whispers and i watch as Bill moves towards Sarah but all he does is stare at her 

"What the fuck are you waiting for? Drink the bitch and leave before we all die." Pam says and I nod in agreement with her 

"No." Bill states and I tilt my head confused "I don't want the blood."
