The Beginning of Something Big

[Huntress]

He has learned from Bill what not to do.

I can see how Eric might learn some things, but I feel that Eric gets Sookie more than Bill ever did. Also, I think that Bill had more of an attraction to Sookie because of the Fairy blood than Eric did. Eric even tells Sookie that it is not because of her blood in All Together Dead (pg 93 - 94).

hmmm...i really sensed it was on the first book that eric and sookie had something...just dont know..i just felt it (when i read the first book)...eric is not just an ordinary vamp...he has this something...(control? power?) that draws him to sookie...and in all fairness..sookie was drawn to eric unconsciouly (even before the blood bond)

i really agree.. I think Eric-Sookie "thing" had more time to flourish compared to Bill-Sookie.. Bill went to Bon Temps, court Sookie, took her, and all.. Eric on the other side, had always been intrigued by her. Living Dead in Dallas shows hint of how much more Sookie will get into eric.. eric was surprised when she told him that she trusts him and believes he would defend her when Sookie asked her to accompany her on the "party".

Eric's not totally selfish. He just has a very highly tuned sense of self-preservation.

There are a few things that always made me think it would be Sookie and Eric:
One was the fact that Eric notices Sookie as soon as she walked into Fangtasia.
Next was the fact that Eric kills another Vampire to save Sookie.
The last thing was the last page of Dead Until Dark....she sees Eric in the moon and then he flies away. As if he will always make sure she is okay and safe.

Now, one question that has left me wondering if CH will ever bring up in future books is the bullet Sookie keeps from Living Dead in Dallas. Sookie puts it in her pocket and says something like I don't know why I put it in my pocket. Anyone?!?!?!
