A Vampire Life | Book 1

I Am The King Of Mississippi

*It was the next day. Taylor woke with Eric's arm around her and she looked at him sleeping. She kissed him and he groaned. Taylor couldn't shake the feeling about Mississippi but she didn't want to let Eric down. She knew if she were to ever become in danger, he would come running for her.

Taylor finished her school work and told her teachers she was going out of town for a little. She told her mom and sister. Amber just wanted her to be safe and knew Eric would do that. Amber knew the wolves out there didn't have any contact with Nik so it took the worry off of that. Eric and Amber have been texting about Taylor about her drinking still.

Amber said she would look into it but she shouldn't be able to keep anything down but blood. They thought it was her body's way of rejecting the transition between human and vampire. Amber told Eric just to keep an eye on her*

Taylor: Babe?

Eric: Hmmm?...*She sighed and he opened his eyes*

Taylor: Sleep...*Eric held his hand out with his ring on*...Eric?

Eric: I wanted to look at you one more time before you left.

Taylor: I don't want to leave you. You offered me to go.

Eric: Now it is a mistake...*Taylor smiled*

Taylor: I will go.

Eric: Find Bill and then you will be back in this bed with me...*Taylor kissed him, he moved between her legs and kissed her more*

Taylor: Eric...*She chuckled*

Eric: Shhh. Good morning sex...*Taylor smiled, they made love for a while. They showered together. Eric watched her pack and they talked over drinking blood bags*

Taylor: I love you.

Eric: I love you more...*He looked into her eyes and kissed her*...Be safe, promise.

Taylor: Just for you...*He smiled and watched her leave. He sighed and walked back to bed. Taylor pulled into Sookie's and heard her scream. Taylor vamp sped and grabbed the man by the throat with her fangs out*...Make a move and it'll be your last!

Alcide: Eric Northman is the one who sent me....*Taylor looked confused*...My name is Alcide and I'm here to look after you both? Looks like I only need to look after one of yous. How the fuck are you even out the daylight?...*Taylor raised an eyebrow and let go of his throat, clicking her fangs back in. Taylor smelled wolf on him and growled*

Sookie: Sorry about the house...*Taylor looked around as Sookie walked over with tea for Alcide. Taylor saw them looking at each other and not saying anything*...Yes, it is.

Taylor: Were you really just...In his mind?...*Sookie nodded*

Alcide: I'll have to remember that.

Taylor: You ever try that with me?

Sookie: I couldn't get through. It was always sunlight and...Babies?

Taylor: Babies? What the...

Sookie: Like the feeling? It was all love, good and light.

Alcide: And now?

Taylor: Watch it bright eyes...*Aclide smiled at Taylor*

Alcide: So if you had vampire blood. Why can't Eric look after you himself?

Sookie: Because I am not his...She is his. I just need his help...*Alcide looked at Taylor and Taylor raised an eyebrow at him*...How did Eric even get you to go to Jackson?

Taylor: Yes. Thought you wolves and vamps hated each other?

Alcide: My old man, he's got a construction company in Caddo Parish. Came up a little short on a project. Went to Northman for a loan.
