Soulmates

Chapter 7

I pulled reluctantly out of Godric's arms and turned towards the living room door. Sookie pulled herself away from Eric a grimace on her face.

"Motherfucking Bill Compton." She turned sneering waiting with her arms crossed over her chest. I smirked at her knowing that Bill was going to be shock by what she had to say. And I for one couldn't wait to hear his excuses for what he has done. Lifting my shield I pushed my thoughts at her.

Let him have it girl. She quickly glanced at me smiling. Eric took a step behind her wrapping her in his arms.

"I will kill him if he touches you. You are mine Sookeah." She leaned back against his chest. She closed her eyes softly breathing in his scent. I knew that she hated the Mine thing and while she may not admit it yet but she could feel the pull to Eric. I could see the look in her eyes when she thinks no one is looking.

As angry footsteps sounded throughout the room, we all turned towards the door waiting. Within a few moments, the living room door slammed open and in stomped Bill Compton, a woman in a tacky orange red dress followed closely behind him.

"Where is she Eric? She is mine." He shouted angrily until he spotted Sookie in Eric's arms. Stomping over to her, he reached out to grab her arm and she twisted away to avoid his hand. Eric growled behind her.

"I am not yours anymore Bill. I thought I made that perfectly clear on the phone the other day when you decided to start bad mouthing Tori." As the words left her lips two angry growls sounded throughout both sides of the room. I knew one of them was my mother but I turned to see who also had growled. Godric was standing slightly beside me, sneering at Bill, fangs out. He looked ready to rip Bill's throat out. I took a quick step towards him, reaching up to his face. I rested my palm on his cheek and forced him to look away from Bill.

"Godric. He's not worth it. Whatever he said it doesn't matter." Godric finally pulled his eyes away from Bill to look at me. As our eyes met, the room melted away for a fraction of a second and suddenly something snapped deep within me. My eyes widened at the sudden intensity of the pull I felt towards him. He smiled at me and retracted his fangs.

"You and I will talk later little one." He pulled me close and kissed my forehead. I turned back to watch the scene playing out in front of me. Bill was fuming and Sookie was still leaning against Eric.

"Sookeah, you know that I didn't mean what I said about Tori. I was angry that you came to Dallas without consulting me first. I thought that we loved each other and that we were a couple. That's what couples do. Consult each other about the decisions that affect their lives." He stated moving slightly towards her.

She cringed as he stepped closer towards her. Eric pulled her closer to his body, flashing his fangs at Bill once again.

"So you say that you love me?"

"You know I do sweetheart."

"So if I asked you to answer a question for me honestly you would answer it? Because you love me?"

"Of course sweetheart."

"Did you glamour the Ratrays to beat me within an inch of my life so that you could get your blood into me?"

I could have laughed at the shocked look on Bill's face. I could see the wheels turning in his head. How to spin it so that she would believe his lies; Sookie stood waiting watching as he looked from her to the woman standing beside him.

"Of course not Sweetheart. I was just late." I knew that as soon as those words left his mouth Sookie would know he was lying.

"You were late." She stated calmly pulling away from Eric and stopped just a few inches away from Bill staring up at him.
