Chapter 6 : Queen of Oklahoma

"Same here Sookie Stackhouse." They shook hands and talked as only strangers would.

Suddenly my feet began to move without my knowledge. I am going to go to her. Just one more touch and I will be happy for the rest of the night. Someone grabbed my arm. I looked down at the black fingernails; Pam.

Pulling me back to her, Pam asked, "It's really her, isn't it?" Her startled look brought me back to reality.

She was not the only one standing behind me and staring at the one we've all missed so much. Maxwell Lee, Thalia, and Indira all stood and looked as surprised as Pam and I did.

Inhaling and holding her scent in for as long as I could, I nodded. "My wife," was all that I could think to say.

My wife …

My lover …

My best friend …

She was actually sitting in front me. I could smell her. I could reach out and touch her. If I closed my eyes, I could hear only her heartbeat.

Sookie, my dearest heart; she was sitting in front of me laughing and talking. She was here. She's not dead. My wife is not dead.

I watched as Sookie talked with Immanuel. Watching her caused so many thoughts of our time together take over my mind but the most prevalent thought was of the conversation that we'd had only a few weeks after our battle with Victor. That was the conversation that changed our lives forever.

(Three weeks after their victory over Victor Madden; Eric sat in his office with his feet propped up on his desk; leaned back with his hands interlaced behind his head.)

I hadn't heard from Sookie in three weeks. She hasn't been around. None of my vampires have seen her; other than the ones she deemed worthy to be in her presence.

Since she had not come to me, I decided that I needed to take matters into my own hands.

During that time of abandonment (yes abandonment; that is what she's done to me), I'd told Bill that I needed for him to go to her. I needed him to watch and to protect her.

As any concerned husband would do, I sent him to her home and to Merlotte's to keep watch her. That was my plan. As I should've known, she'd planned something totally different.

She wouldn't speak to him and she wouldn't let him enter her home. He said that she'd rescinded his invitation. Bill also said that she'd told Sam to tell Bill to leave when he would come to Merlotte's on the nights that she worked.

He said that he when that happened, he would wait outside. He would wait for her to leave work and then he would follow her home.

He would sit on her porch and to no surprise to me he said that she would walk right past him as if he wasn't there.

No hello.

No good night.

No nothing.

She didn't acknowledge his presence with any type of verbal greeting. She would leave him a blood on the porch and then she would go inside.

So what I did was take it upon myself to start calling her and going to her house. She'd quit answering my calls and she'd even rescinded my invitation. My wife rescinded my invitation.

I may have overreacted a bit and I may be a bit domineering but she had to understand. What was I supposed to do? She hadn't spoken to me in three weeks. She had broken the bond.

I could no longer feel her if she was in danger. Rescinding my invitation was a bit much. Her stubbornness caused me to send vampires to her home each night.

I was hoping that she would realize that I was sending them to protect her. It was for her own good. Everything that I've ever done has been for her well being.

One night, she'd left me a message; during daylight hours no less, stating that she had one of the local insurance salesmen ward her house against all vampires until further notice ... well not all vampires.

Pam and Bubba were allowed to come over if they didn't tell me anything. So, naturally I sent Pam and Bubba to keep an eye on her.

Bill tried to talk his way in but she said no. I knew that no matter what I did or said, Bubba would not betray Sookie under any circumstances. The only way Pam would watch over her was if she did not have to betray Sookie's confidence.

I thought about that and reluctantly, I agreed. With the problems that we were having with Felipe's rogue vampires and Freyda, Vampire Queen of Oklahoma, I needed to keep Sookie protected. We still hadn't had our meeting with Felipe about what happened.

I had to protect her. Pride be damned. In the end, Pam and Bubba were my only 'contact' with my wife. As expected, I continued to call her.

Nothing

Almost four weeks later, I called her upon rising. Her voicemail recording was, 'If this is Eric, I'll call you when it's time and not until then', but she did tell Pam to tell me that she would call me soon.

It angered me that she would go through Pam instead of talking directly to me. Why did she feel that she could not talk to me?

The woman has always pushed me beyond my limits. She frustrated me to no avail.

I was so agitated that I punched holes in my office walls. She was the most frustrating woman that I have ever met in all of my existence!

"I am her husband! She should have called me!"

"She chose not to call you. She has sent the message by me."

Sookie brought the best and the worst of my emotions out of me. I was never one to show my emotions until meeting her.

She is the most irritating and the most aggravating woman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

I was never protective of anyone other than myself and my child. Then Sookie came into my life and changed everything and now she expects me to wait?
