"If any of her friends show up we're dead," Sookie said.

"Come on Eric. Let's get you inside," I said.

He fell over.

"Eric?" I walked over and poked him with my foot.

He rolled over and stood up. I backed away. He took a step towards me. "You smell good," He said.

"I know, you've told me," I said.

"Can I drink you?"

"No you cannot!" I jumped back.

"But-"

"You'll kill me like you killed Claudine."

"I couldn't harm someone like you."

I sighed. "Come on you should get in your cubby."

I started walking towards the house he ran up and pinched my butt.

"What happened to no touching? Did you forget my rules?" Sookie asked.

He laughed hysterically.

"Sook, can vampires get drunk?" I asked.

"I don't know."

"Well I think he is."

"Wait, where'd he go?" Sookie asked turning around.

"Shit."

OoOoO

We'd been running all over the place trying to find Eric. Sookie called Alcide and he showed up finally around noon. "Alcide!" I said happily.

"Hey Lily." He hugged me.

"Sookie's looking around back again," I said.

"How is Eric still wandering around?"

"That's an interesting story...I'll tell you on the way."

He pulled off his shirt. I couldn't help but stare. Now I know why Rachel liked him so much, I mean besides his wonderful personality...

"You mind?"

"Oh right sorry." I turned around. When I looked over my shoulder he was a wolf. "Oh my gosh, you're adorable!"

He growled a little.

"Sorry, it's true. Smell anything?"

He took off and I ran after him. Along the way I explained the whole farie situation. He stopped at some water. Sookie had just caught up with us.

"I don't see him," she said.

Then he splashed up out of the water.

"Come play with me!" He said.

"Eric, there's gators in there!" Sookie said.

"I'll just kill the sea monsters!"

I sighed.

Alcide shifted back.

"You weren't kidding about him being different."

Eric snarled at him.

"Eric stop!" I said.

"They want me here!" Alcide said.

"Eric he's our friend you don't want to fight," Sookie said.

"Prepare to die, dog."

"Come on fanger."

"Oh come on! Both of you! You are acting like children!" I said unhappily.
