Thank you all for reviewing my last chapter. I'm super glad you guys enjoyed it! I honestly had no idea what I was going to do after watching the episode. I absolutely hated the way they wrote out the season finale. Did anyone else notice they ripped us off two episodes? The first five seasons all had twelve episodes. Them assholes could have used those other two episodes for character development on Warlow! I think the writers just got lazy with the ending of this season. Or maybe they wanted to piss everyone off. I don't know. Sorry, I'm ranting. Reviews are LOVE for sure :) I have an idea where this is heading for the next couple of chapters.
Sookie opened her eyes, they were still entwined with the Maidpole, Warlow was holding her tightly in his arms. Why aren't we underground? she wondered to herself as she looked around. Everything was bright, like she was waking up with a hang-over, only without the throbbing headache. She felt different, she knew that Warlow had been successful at turning her, but from what she knew about vampires was that they had to be underground to turn.
"Morning," Warlow smiled down at her.
"It's only morning?" Sookie gawked up at him.
"Of course it is," Warlow grinned. "We're creatures of Light in our heart, Sookie."
"How do we get untangled?" Sookie asked, curiously looking up at the vines that held them together.
"Why?" Warlow frowned.
"We need to go talk to Jason," Sookie stated. She watched Warlow take in a deep breath, she understood it was supposed to be their honeymoon and all that, but her brother had to know what was going on. He couldn't be left in the dark. "We'll come right back afterwards, I promise. I just can't go without letting my brother know what's happening."
Warlow nodded, grabbed her hand and gave her a small smile, "Use your Light."
She looked at their hands as she obeyed, the vines began to glow, then they vanished. Sookie froze for a moment then looked up at Warlow, "What the fuck am I going to tell Jason?"
"The truth?" Warlow suggested.
"Then we're going to need Lafayette's help to confirm it's true," Sookie knew Jason would want proof, that's what made him a good officer. She went over to her purse and picked it up, when she pulled out her cell phone a smile spread across her face.
"What?" Warlow frowned.
"I actually get reception in here!" she speed-dialed Lafayette.
It rang only once before, "What is you doing, Sook?"
"Can you meet me in the cemetary?" Sookie asked.
"Bitch, every time I help your fairy helpless ass, I end up getting my ass handed to me," Lafayette stated with his usual attitude. "But I is just pulling into your driveway, so I'll be there in a minute. No ghost shit this time!"
With that, Lafayette hung up the phone. Warlow had a slight smirk on his face as he held out his hand, "Come, my love, I doubt he'd be happy if you weren't there to meet him."
Sookie smiled and took his offered hand, immediately combining her Light with his to leave her Haven. As soon as they were in the cemetary, Warlow forced her down to the ground and threw a brunette vampire across the cemetary and into a gravestone. Two more vampires attacked closely behind, as Warlow blasted them both with his Light, Sookie realized the two vampires had been Tara and Jessica. As for first impressions on both sides, this was going terribly. By the time Sookie realized it was them, Warlow had slammed Violet to the ground, then stood and grabbed Bill by his throat. All the vampires that had attacked him were babies compared to him, but Tara was pissed, more pissed than the night she'd been turned into a vampire. She snapped a twig and rushed Warlow.
Sookie stood and jumped between Warlow and her best friend, "Stop!"
"Sookie what-the-fuck?!" Tara gawked at her. "We're here to save your ass!"
"Save me?" Sookie looked back at Warlow, then at Bill, wondering what the fuck he had told everyone.
"From that murderous, lying fuck who killed Mama and Daddy!" Jason brought attention to himself finally, Sookie was standing just in the perfect place to block his shot of Warlow. "Move out of my way, Sook!"
"No! Jason, you have to listen," Sookie breathed.
"AH HELL NO!" Lafayette shouted. "Fuck Sook, a whole pack of vampires out in the..." everyone froze and looked over at the shocked medium as his eyes widened at his cousin, then recovered, "Hooka, what the fuck has you been up to? If you'd like to know, this whole God-damned month has been one thing after another for me. First, I gets this phone call from Sook about something in her bathroom. I just got my lashes done so it was a great opportunity to check them bitches out. Well, I tried to contact the 'creepy spirit thany' in Sookie bathroom, but it turned out to just be this motherfucker trying to break through a portal or something." Lafayette motioned over to Warlow. Sookie almost couldn't believe it, he was going to come out with the truth about Warlow without her even asking him to tell Jason, just because he wanted Tara to know what was up with him. She almost wanted to laugh if everyone wasn't looking at Lafayette in shock, including Warlow and Bill. "So I gets a break from Sookie drama, only to get into shifter-werewolf bullshit that you don't even want to get me started on, because there's a bitch out there I want to beat. I've been dealing with being possessed by a Mexican Demon. And on top of that, Miss Fairy Princess over here asked me to convene a séance because Fairy-Boy here told her Corbett and Michelle were trying to kill her the night he killed them. So-"
"That's some fucking bull-" Jason started angrily.
"I am talking right now, Jason Stackhouse. So wait your fucking turn!" Lafayette shouted, stressed out by all the vampires out in the sun, but wanting to talk to Tara while he could, "So nothing happens at first. I tells Sook that maybe ignorance is bliss. Then Corbett comes and that motherfucker was pissed. He showed us what happened that night. That man snapped hard after Warlow here told him what Sookie was and showed some contract after telling them something about turning her into a vampire. Anyways, after showing us that shit, the son-of-a...Corbett possessed me and tried to kill Sookie, making me get my ass kicked and fairy blasted by this motherfucker." Jason was gawking in disbelief at Lafayette, as was almost everyone else.
"Thanks, Lafayette," Sookie smiled at her friend.
He looked at her, over at Jason, then at Warlow, and back to her, "You's welcome, Sook."
"Come here, Bitch," Tara dropped the twig and rushed over to Lafayette with her vampire speed and embraced her cousin for the first time since she'd been turned.
"As for you," Warlow had his attention back on Bill. "If you ever go near Sookie again, I'll rip your fucking heart out. Do you understand?" Sookie didn't hear Bill's reply, but it must have satisfied Warlow, because he released Bill, who rushed to his house.
Warlow was already wishing they would have just stayed in Sookie's Haven, he could feel Jason's hatred towards him, even after learning the truth. It didn't help Warlow's cause that the vampire he'd slammed to the ground was Jason's girlfriend, which was strange because of the hatred he had held for vampires. When he Glamoured Jason, he had him let go of the pain, apparently, that didn't mean letting go of his hatred towards Warlow. Still, Sookie wanted to get him calmed down, and that seemed to involve her friends going with them to her house as well. All except the red-headed vampire who'd attacked him, she left in the direction Bill had gone. He hoped Sookie understood that he wasn't going to allow them to become part of any nest. He didn't mind spending time with her friends, even if they were vampires, but he wasn't going to live with any of them. It surprised him that so many vampires seemed to have a unique love for Sookie that made them want to protect her.
"What's wrong?" Sookie asked him as she grabbed his hand as they followed Jason up the stairs.
Warlow frowned and thought, You haven't told Jason that we're married.
By the way his princess rolled her eyes, he could tell she head him, "Jason has to process one thing at a time."
"He hates me," Warlow sighed.
"Oh that's not hate, motherfucker," Tara said from behind them. "That's 'I want to stake your ass because your taking my fucking baby sister away'."
"My Maker was Lilith," Warlow raised an eyebrow at her as he walked into the house.
"So?" Tara stopped at the door, as did Violet and Willa. "Sook, invite us in."
"Come in. All of you," Sookie shook her head as she followed her brother into the living room.
"Do you know nothing of your own history?" Warlow frowned.
"Bitch, I've only been a vampire for not even a year. Willa hasn't been one for barely even a month," Tara grinned as she walked into the house. "We're baby vamps."
"Your Maker let you turn another vampire?" Warlow's frown deepened.
"Fuck no! Pam would never allow that right now! I'm much too reckless to be a Maker," Tara's grin left her face. Then she looked over at Sookie, "I guess with the way vampires work, Willa would be Pam's baby sister, so she would be my aunt?"
Warlow closed his eyes. Pam was Eric's Progeny. Tara must have been Pam's Progeny, and if Willa was Pam's sister, that made her Eric's second Progeny. He shook his head and went to sit beside Sookie. A good part of him wanted to enact his revenge for what Eric had done to him on the young Progeny, to rip her heart out and watch her turn into a pile of goop on the living room floor, which was why he went and sat beside his wife and took her hand into his. He couldn't take out his rage on Willa just because her Maker fucked up. Besides, from what he'd seen in the cemetary with the young vampire barely older than his own wife, she had risked her own life to save Sookie. Against the oldest vampire alive. That alone stopped him from acting on his impulse.
"Jason," Sook sighed.
Her brother looked at her and Warlow, then down at their joined hands, where he got a clear view of Sookie's ring. Warlow had never seen so many emotions pass through a human so quickly. Confusion, realization, sadness, anger, then just pure rage, "WHAT THE FUCK SOOK?!"
"Sit back down, Jason," Sookie kept her voice even.
"FUCK THAT SHIT!" Jason moved away from his own girlfriend, Violet, who reached out to comfort him. "You knew yesterday when you saw me that you were going to do this, didn't you?" Sookie looked down at the ground, "Fuck, Sookie! Next you're going to tell me he actually succeeded at making you into his fairy-vampire bride."
Warlow fought the impulse to laugh, it seemed like every time Sookie went to say something or wanted her brother to know something since they left her Haven, it seemed to come out without her even saying anything. The last thing he wanted was for Jason to be angry at Sookie. He took a deep breath so he wouldn't laugh, "I did."
"Jesus Sookie!" Jason began to pace. Warlow reached his mind out to Jason's, First Mama and Daddy, then Gran, and now Sookie. Everyone keeps on leaving me. Sookie promised she wouldn't leave me.
Warlow frowned and looked over at his princess. She kept to her word, which caused him to be in a bind. He didn't want to stay in Bon Tempt. The small town where everyone seemed to know everyone else. Shit, he didn't really want to share her with her friends or even Jason, but what was a short time when he had the rest of eternity to spend with her? He glanced back over at Jason and sighed, "I'm not taking her away from you. Look at it as me making her safer. By all rights, Jason, you are my brother."
Jason glared at him, "If you're my brother, then the same fucking rule applies to you. Stay the Hell out of my head!" Then he froze, "You're not taking Sookie?"
"She would be miserable if I did," Warlow stated honestly, feeling her beautiful brown eyes on him. "I would never hurt Sookie, Jason."
"That's not the way Bill made it sound," Violet wrapped her arm around Jason.
Warlow watched Jason pull away from his girlfriend and he stepped towards the fairy-vampire, "You and I need to step outside."
Tara looked around Sookie's living room, Sookie, Willa, Violet, and Lafayette were all sitting around her while Jason and Warlow were outside, near the trees that went towards the cemetary. She was still trying to process what Sookie had just told them about Warlow. That it wasn't really Bill's blood that was allowing them to walk in the sun. It was really Warlow's blood that Bill had drank. The only reason why Warlow didn't give his blood to them himself was because Eric had drained the fairy-vampire of most of his blood. Willa looked conflicted, she was a sweet baby vampire, and Tara was more than happy to keep an eye on her as Pam had told her to. Shit, she'd already started looking out for Willa before she was even turned. Now Sookie was a vampire, Jason clearly had feelings for Violet, and Tara felt as though everything was clicking back into place again. Sure, it was going to be weird, Sookie being a vampire, but at least Tara didn't have to worry about vampires always trying to drain her because of what she was. Though there was one vampire Tara knew for a fact was going to be just livid that Sookie had been turned. Eric. That Viking loved Sookie so much, that he had been willing to leave her for her best interest.
"So Bill's just going to let everyone believe that it was his blood that saved us?" Tara shook her head. "I was so fucking high yesterday."
"That could be because you drank both fairy and vampire blood?" Sookie offered.
"I'm thinking it was just the fairy part that made us high," Violet smirked as she glanced out the window to make sure Jason was okay. Sookie didn't seem too worried about how her brother and her husband were doing together. She seemed more focused on something else.
"Sook, what is you doing?" Lafayette asked before Tara could.
"Sorry, I just thought I heard Alcide's thoughts," Sookie shook her head.
Tara sniffed the air, there was no wolf scent in the air, so he couldn't be close by. By the looks of Warlow and Jason outside, Alcide wasn't around. Lafayette shook his head, "Like I said, Hooka, you find the good in every creature you meet."
"Not every creature," Sookie sighed.
"I should apologize," Willa stated suddenly out of nowhere.
"For what?" Tara asked.
"To Warlow for what my Maker did to him," Willa looked at Tara. "His blood gave us the gift of light. We can do what every vampire dreams of because of him. We're alive because of Warlow, Tara."
Violet turned her attention to Sookie, "Did he force you to do this?"
"What?" Sookie frowned.
"Did he force you?" Violet's voice went cold, like it did when she barked at Jason.
"No! He didn't force me. Do you think I'd let my brother out there with him if I was forced?" Sookie rolled her eyes.
Tara took a deep breath, "Sookie already explained everything once. I love her, but if I have to hear the whole 'fairy soul mate' bullshit again, I'll die the True Death. It's just too sweet for my taste. But it's good for Sookie. Explains a lot."
"Explains what?" Willa piped in. Tara forgot that Willa hadn't met Sookie before today. That she had only heard Sookie's name mentioned by Pam. The only thing Willa knew about Sookie was that her Maker was in love with her.
"My attraction to vampires," Sookie grinned at Tara.
"Bitch, you can't read my mind," Tara smirked.
"Of course not, you're a vampire," Sookie laughed.
Willa looked confused, as did Violet, which caused Sookie, Lafayette, and Tara to laugh even more. There could have been a possibility that Tara was still a bit high on the fairy blood.
Jason took a deep breath as he looked into Warlow's eyes, searching for some kind of truth in the vampire's words. Sookie would be safe. Forever. Jason didn't have to worry about Sookie or Warlow taking her away. The vampire swore to Jason that he was going to do whatever it took to make Sookie happy, and for some strange reason, Jason believed him. He still wore his contacts that were issued at the Death Camp, so he knew Warlow hadn't Glamoured him into believing what he was told. He could see Warlow's love for Sookie. It made Jason sad that he had missed the wedding, "I'm sorry I wasn't there."
Warlow smiled, "Don't be, Jason."
"Why not? She's my sister!" Jason frowned at Warlow.
"Because the Maidpole Ceremony is only performed in private," Warlow stated.
"Oh," What the fuck is a "Maidpole Ceremony"? What the fuck is a Maidpole?
"Technically speaking, we're on our honeymoon," Warlow informed him.
"Shit," Jason hadn't even thought of that. He was still processing that his sister was married. That his father had tried to kill Sookie because of what she was going to become once she was an adult. His hallucinations of his parents had been right. They were racist towards vampires. They would have hated the fact that he was Violet's when he loved it. He loved the feeling of knowing that she would always have his back. She wasn't like Bill, not in the slightest. Sookie didn't know that yet, but if he was going to give Warlow a chance, then his sister was sure as Hell going to give his girl a chance. "I have a question. You're an old vampire so you may know what this means."
"Let's hear it," Warlow seemed interested.
"What does it mean when a vampire tells a human 'You're Mine. Forever'?" Jason asked quickly.
Warlow gave Jason a curious look, "It means that vampire plans on turning that human one day. Why do you ask?"
Jason shrugged, "Just wondering."
That made sense. Violet wasn't the type of girl to go into a relationship half-way. Of course she was planning on turning him one day. The thought of being turned had frightened him when he was with Jess, but when he thought of Violet turning him...it seemed right. His feelings for Violet were strange for him. He never meant to have feelings for Jessica. Her blood had made it impossible for him not to have feelings for her, but Violet. There was no guilt in what he felt for her. No way that he could possibly destroy a friendship over her, she wanted him for him, not for drugs, or sex-though that would be nice too-or to manipulate him into doing something for her. Though he thought it was impossible to fall in love so quickly, he believed that he had. Even when she acted crazy she was beautiful. She seemed so peaceful and happy in the sun. She had been willing to fight a vampire thousands of years older than her to save his sister. Sure, Jessica, Tara, Willa, and Bill had all tried as well, but what mattered to Jason was that Violet had tried. That she had been willing to risk her own life for that of a girl she'd been ready to kill just the afternoon before. She looked at Sookie as her own sister, and for that, he loved his vampire even more.
Sookie took a deep, relaxing breath, it had been a long day, she had spent most of it with Tara, Lafayette, Violet, and Willa while Jason and Warlow walked around the yard just talking the afternoon away. She couldn't help but like Willa and Violet. Willa was definitely a sweet girl, she was glad Eric had some sense when it came to his second Progeny. Pam was...well Pam. Sookie couldn't really find a reason to hate Pam, not after she'd given her such a warm welcome yesterday.
"I'm tired of staying inside," Willa jumped up suddenly and rushed outside with her vampire speed.
Excited to actually try this out on her own, Sookie jumped up and was surprised how naturally the speed just came. Not even a second passed and she was standing beside Willa outside, just in time to here Jason speaking.
"-them sick fucks took Violet, Jess, Tara, Willa, and Pam away for not drinking the infected True Blood, so other vampires began to feed on me, draining me of my blood because no one was there to protect me," Jason was saying to Warlow. "Shit, given the choices they had, I'd eat me too. So, I'm lying there, close to death, ready to just let myself die, when a vampire frees all the women and tells them to go kill the humans. Then he stepped forward, and for a moment, I thought Eric was going to kill me. I threatened his sister, you see. I wasn't in my mind and I was being a racist dick to my friends. I probably would have killed her if Sook wouldn't have stepped in front of my gun." Sookie's eyes widened and she looked over at Willa, who's eyes were just as wide. Willa knew what they were talking about. The Death Camp. Eric. Sookie wasn't sure she wanted to hear anymore. "I knew the place pretty well, so he healed me. I'm still high on his blood. And Violet's..."
"And mine," Warlow stated.
"Yours? When the fuck did you give me your blood?" Jason demanded. Sookie wanted to laugh. She remembered when Warlow gave Jason his blood, it was the only reason she had discovered his true identity.
"The last time I saw you," Warlow said honestly, making Sookie smile. "If I wouldn't have given you my blood, you would have died, Jason." That last comment caused Sookie's smile to leave her face. She had been right, she had believed Jason was dying and he really had been.
"Thanks, I guess," Jason shrugged as he regained his train of thought, "So we found this sick Therapist who openly admitted to fucking Eric's Progeny, Pam. So instead of killing him, like Eric had intended, he got saved for Pam. Then we found Ginger, she's usually always screaming, then I saw the most fucked up shit in the world. We got to that white room and the whole room of vampires was feeding on Bill. Except for Steve Newlin, there wasn't enough room for him to get any. And thankfully, Eric made sure he didn't get any. I'm not going to repeat what Steve Newlin's last words were, otherwise I won't get that shit out of my head. Then we went to Bill's, right when we got there, Sook showed up and saw me...and everyone else. When she left, Bill told us about how she had agreed to become your...wife. Then said he had encouraged her to do it. We tried to get my friend's Halfling daughter to help save Sook, but Andy wouldn't allow it. Not even when his daughter begged. He didn't want to lose his last daughter because of another vampire."
"And that's when you decided to ambush me instead," Warlow guessed.
"Yeah," Jason sighed. "So there's your reason not to kill Eric when you see him next. That and the countless times he's saved Sookie."
"Why are you defending this vampire?" Warlow asked.
"Because he's given me more than one chance to start fresh. He saved my life yesterday and I owe him that," Jason said.
"It's something to consider," Warlow turned and looked back at Sookie.
Jason looked over at her as well, as though he noticed her for the first time. His eyes widened, then he smirked at Sookie, "I guess you two should get going. You'll be back when?"
"If you need us, just start shouting around the cemetary," Warlow suggested.
"Right," Jason nodded. Then walked over to Sookie and gave her a hug. "Next time you're going to do something like that, let me know."
Sookie hugged her brother back, "I will."
As Sookie grabbed Warlow's hand, Jason called out, "If you ever hurt my sister, I'll kill you!"
Couldn't help but make this a bit light-hearted and have everyone mellow down a bit after the first part of the chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I enjoyed writing it! This was how I thought things would kind of go during the season. If he didn't want to share her with her family and friends, then why bother to heal Jason? Or even stop himself from killing Lafayette? GRRRR! I think True Blood's writers must have lost their minds or something! Sorry for ranting, but you all understand :) Will update as soon as I'm finished with the next chapter promise!
