    Some memories never stay buried. Empty Some memories never stay buried.

    -sometimes she really wished she couldn't hear people's thoughts. Not just the ones about her, but the thoughts that people really tried to keep buried deep were the ones that really got to her. Like today, for instance.-

    EARLIER, AT MERLOTTES

    "Hi, what can I getchu?" -the older man, probably in his late 40s or early 50s, sat across from a little girl that looked to be about 9 or 10 years old; she was kicking her legs against the red vinyl chair and looking relatively uncomfortable, while the man sat looking out the window and casting the occasional glance at the little girl. Her shields weren't up hard, seeing as how the bar was relatively empty, but it didn't take her long to wish that they had been.-

    -the little girl looked up at her, bright green eyes filled with worry and unshed tears, and a look that clearly stated that she didn't want to be where she was. Sookie reached out and gently touched the girls shoulder, a shudder moving through her body as she "saw" what was hidden in the recesses of her mind. And what she saw brought back memories she had thought she had long suppressed, memories that she really, really didn't want to think about ever again.-

    "Excuse me, are you deaf or something? I said we wanted 2 burgers and 2 sweet teas. Gah, this place has gone to the dogs." -she stared at him, fighting the urge to punch him in his face, or at least use her microwave fingers on his sorry ass. The little girl looked back up at her, pleading with her eyes.- "Can... Can I have some ice cream after?" -Sookie looked at her and fought against the tears forming in her eyes then looked at the man beside her, the little girls uncle if she were correct. He was staring at the little girl just like Uncle Bartlett used to stare at her.-

    "Pretty little thing. Not a single hair on any of her body. Come here, little Sookie. Sit in Uncle Bartlett's lap and I'll help you with your math homework."

    -she shivered again and stared at the man, hard.- "You can have some ice cream. But first... Why don't you come with me." She held her hand out and the girl stopped for a moment, staring at her with worry before grabbing her hand and standing slowly.- "I'm your friend, Anna. I promise. Just... come with me to my office. I'm gonna make a phone call." -the man stood, outraged, and threw his napkin onto the table before grabbing Sookie's arm and twisting; she looked at him and grinned, put her hand on his chest and gave a little zap.- "Don't you fucking touch me, you sick piece of shit! I know what you've done to that little girl. And if you don't want to have every man in this bar beating you six shades from Sunday, I suggest you leave quick and don't come back. I'm taking Anna, I'm calling my sheriff, which just happens to be my brother, and you have til the count of one to get the hell outta my bar, outta my town, and probably outta the state."

    -the man sputtered, rubbing his chest and staring at her. She could tell he was wanting to get back to Anna, to take her and run, doing God knew what with Anna. It made her blood boil, made her want to chew up nails and spit out bullets, but more than anything it made her want revenge for the torture the little girl by her side had been put through.- "Just... Just get the fuck out, before...." -she stopped, and the grin on her face could have outshone the one she gave when she put Talbot's remains in the garbage disposal.-

    "You'd better go. I'm not gonna call the cops, it turns out. But my husband.... My husband might just be a little hungry." -she tapped at her incisor and grinned as the man's eyes grew five sizes bigger.- "Don't forget the tip." She stared at the table, then back at him, as he threw all of the money from his wallet onto the table and bolted out the door. She looked out the window in time to see him drive off, and memorized the tag number before turning to Anna.-

    "Come on, sweet girl. Let's get you something to eat. What do you want?" -they walked into the office and she sat her down, and there they spent the next two hours talking about what he had done, where and when he had done it, and how she no longer had to worry about that anymore. Andy had shown up and promised to take her to stay with his sister, Portia, until they could find her a place to stay for good.-

    BACK AT SOOKIE'S HOME

    -she lay on her bed, feet hanging over the edge and tears slipping down her cheeks as she recalled all the things that the little girl had told her, and even the ones she hadn't told her, the things she had seen in the little girls head had been so much worse than what she had dealt with from Uncle Bartlett.- "That bastard." -she said as she continued to lay there, letting tears fall down her face and pool on the comforter. She wished she could forget.-

    -sometimes, most of the time, things never stayed buried... no matter how hard you tried.-

    Eric blinked. He'd been in the office at fangtasia, doing through papers. He had yet to speak with Nora about the Bill issue but he knew that Kiara would do her work. However now something else took his attention. He had a bad feeling in his stomach and it could be linked to one person.

    Sookie...

    He stood and paused. Did he want to get the business from Pam again? yeah he didn't care. He grabbed his keys, his wallet and his leather jacket and escaped the bar before Pam knew any better. He drove over to Sookie's home, parking his car under several trees before making his way to the back door. Having his own key he let himself in.

    "Sookie...?" he called out, closing and locking the door.

    -she heard him come in, heard his voice as he called her name downstairs. But she just lay there, overcome by memories of the past and thoughts of what happened to Anna. She shook her head, trying to stop the barrage of images moving through her mind, then called out quietly.-

    Upstairs.

    Eric set his keys down and was upstairs in a flash. It didn't take him long to find Sookie but it did worry him when he found her. She was on her bed, crying and it brought anger to the forefront of his mind.

    "Sookie whats wrong? Who hurt you?" he asked, making his way to her side. Oh woe be it to anyone who made his wife cry. They would be dead before they knew what hit them.

    -she looked up at him and gave a soft smile as she wiped the tears from her eyes and moved her body so that her head lay in his lap. When his hands went to her hair and started to run his fingers through it, she let out a sign and closed her eyes, feeling immediately at peace.-

    It was just a hard night at work. -her eyes slid open and she looked up, her watery ones meeting his worried, steel blue ones.- Did I ever tell you about my Uncle Bartlett?

    He ran his fingers through her blonde hair. She looked sad and it bothered him. Her tears had always bothered him.

    "No...I've never heard of your uncle" he said softly, wondering what that had to do with anything. He just held her to his lap.

    -she nuzzled his leg and closed her eyes again, laying there quiet for a minute before speaking-

    When I was younger, probably 8 or 9, my Gran's brother started to come around a lot. He always seemed real nice, giving me candies and taking me out for ice cream. But one day, after he took me for ice cream, instead of taking me to the park like we normally did, he took me to Gran's house early. -she turned her head so that she was facing away from him, opened her eyes and stared at the wall- Gran wasn't at home; she was at a Descendant's of the Glorious dead luncheon with Maxine and a few other women. -it was almost like yesterday, really. She could still smell Gran's fried chicken in the air, sun tea was in the pitcher by the window, and the windows were open so that when the wind blew you could smell the honeysuckle out by the driveway.-

    Uncle Bartlett said that I needed to take a bath before Gran got home and he was going to help me wash my hair.... -tears started to fall again and she sniffled, hiding her face from him in embarrassment.- He didn't wash my hair...

    He growled and pulled her to his chest, wrapping his long arms around her. He didn't need to hear the rest of the story. Men like that existed since the dawn of time. Even during his time, when women married young it was punishable by death to ever abuse someone so young.

    "Shh...say no more..." he whispered, kissing her shoulder. "Does your uncle still live?" he asked, because if he did Eric would make sure his life was cut short now.

    -she shook her head and snuggled closer to him, feeling instantly safe as he covered her body with his- No. I... I told Bill about it one night and he... He took care of things. -she still couldn't believe he had done that, killed him without so much as a "hey, guess what, I'll take care of that for you!" He had just gone and done it-

    Eric, would you be upset at me if I were to bring a girl into my house and take care of her for a while? I met her today.... she was with her uncle and I... he... -she shook her head- He's gone. But I did get his tag number. -she turned over and met his gaze- I was wondering if you would take care of him for me... For Anna. -her eyes opened and she looked at him, wondering what he would say to her asking him, requesting him, to kill someone for her.-

    He nuzzled her gently. At least Bill had done one good thing while he dated Sookie. She may not understand the deep vampire territorialism that came with being a vampire. A vampire kills anything and everything that threatens what is theirs. There wasn't any logic to it, it was just a natural reflex.

    The fact Sookie was asking him to kill someone, which she was, this whole "taking care" thing didn't mean getting the man to jail...meant something to him. For once Sookie was trusting him, was relying on him like he'd wanted to. She was so stubbornly independent sometimes he felt like shaking her.

    He nodded and touched her cheek. "I will deal with this human...but only for you..."

    It's not just for me, Eric. It's for her, too. The little girl that's in the position I was in before. She's owed this, and much more... -she shook her head and sighed again- Andy has her staying with Portia for now. I asked him if I could take her in for a bit so that she didn't get put into the system, but he said he didn't know, what with me having you in the house and all. -she rolled her eyes, looked at Eric and grinned a smart assed little grin- You shoulda seen his face when I told him that if he didn't change his tone that my husband would be paying him a surprise, special visit. He didn't seem to like that too much.

    -she yawned, then stretched, on the bed, her head now off of his lap and laying on the bed while the middle of her body was in his lap and her legs rested against the foot board, her shirt rising minutely to show off a bit of tanned skin. It was finally warming up enough that she could lay out in the sun again, and she had taken complete advantage of it.-

    He leaned down, placing a hand on either side of the bed, leaning over her. He let his fangs drop with his cocky grin.

    "Well... it looks like you do enjoy having me as your husband after all" he whispered, his eyes glued to the teasing bit of skin her top revealed.

    "As for the child... as much as I think miniature humans are delicious.. the KING" he said, putting emphasis on the word "disproves of anything involving children and vampires"

    -she raised a brow and pushed him back slightly- Forget Bill. You wanna worry about me, your wife. You won't touch her, not even jokingly. And you will NOT scare her. You will be nice, you will help take care of her. I'm not saying baby sit or be a teacher or anything like that, but when she is here... you will be nice. Okay?

    -she stared at him, eyebrow still raised, and when he stayed silent she started to move off of his lap- Okay, Eric?

    He sighed, his fangs going back inside, his desire killed. He sat back up and sat on the edge of the bed. Pam would be LOVING seeing him so whipped by Sookie, but when it came to the fae, he had a weak spot.

    He was mostly indifferent to children. They were strange, emotional creatures that whined about everything, didn't know best and thought tears were the answer to everything. "Fine...I will not scare her or touch her. I will be....." it galled him to say it "....nice"

    -she smiled at him, happily, and stood from the bed- Thank you, Eric. -she straddled him and lowered her body back onto his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed a soft kiss to his lips-

    Seriously. Thank you. -she lowered her head so she could meet his eyes and then leaned in to kiss him again- I know I've never really showed you that I trust you. But I do... I promise. And I really, really want to be able to keep that trust....

    He nodded, looking up at her the moment she sat on his lap. It was times like these he knew he was a sucker for the fae. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

    "I will do my best... but... I'd sure love some motivation" he whispered. Sookie merely grinned at him and he was lost. He pulled her down, intending very much to show her why she should always trust him.

    She pulled off her shirt and his fangs popped out again. Gods how this woman had him wrapped around her little finger.

    "You promise to be nice?" she whispered to him. He nodded, his eyes fixated on her chest. Currently he was an idiot and he'd do anything as long as she was naked. She leaned down and kissed him, her tongue feeling out his fangs and he shuddered. He wanted her, no he needed her and right now foreplay was the last thing on his mind. He growled, ripping off her bra. He kissed her deeper, ravishing her mouth. He could hear her heart skip a beat as he turned them over, pinning her to the bed.

    He pulled back just to let her breath before her growled and tore off her remainder of her clothes. The same happened to his clothes, except his jacket. He'd never tear that up. Her hands explored his skin, warming his usually cold skin. He turned them over, his fingers finding the center of her body. She moaned, urging him on. He growled, kissing the back of her neck, feeling her skin break into shivers.

    "Sookie....I can't wait..." he murmured.

    "Then don't..."she whispered back.

    That what all he needed. He gripped her hips, knowing that right now he was about to spend all night, and maybe all day making love to the most infuriating, stubborn, strange, defiant woman he'd ever met. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
