I own none of these characters; Charline Harris is nice and lets me play with them.
My phone buzzed on my pocket, and I looked at the screen damnit, it's Fucking Fangtasia. I guess those blood suckers got my message. I walked out of the room and opened the phone.
"Yeah"
"Shifter, I can only assume that you have our telepath, and you know why her and my Master's bond has been severed. Just so that you understand the seriousness of what is happening I would like to tell you, that even though shifters taste disgusting, I will suck you of every drop when I see you because while the bond between Sookie and Eric is gone, the bond between maker and child is still intact- I can feel all of my masters anguish- and it is not pleasant. So if you have anything to…"
"PAM!" I cut her off of her tirade, that was enough. "Would you shut the hell up long enough for me to tell you what I do and do not know?"
Silence. Good.
"I just found out about this bond bullshit from Dr. Ludwig, I FOUND Sookie like she is now. I still don't really know what happened to her. I am just taking care of her for the time being; she's a wreck. If anything, Eric should be kissing my ass for taking in his 'wife'."
"My master..hold on….I must go somewhere away from listening ears….okay, my master is …unwell. When it happened, two days ago he just fell, he has been on agony, sleeping, weak, and he has hardly fed, I cannot get him to feed. I alerted the doctor immediately and she confirmed our suspicions about the bond being severed. We have been looking for Sookie, he has made it a great priority among those we can trust…..how did you find her? You must bring her to us."
"Pam,…."
She cuts me off.
"My master must speak with you."
Before I could protest…"Shifter." He said in his most menacing voice, he even sounded weaker.
"I must see my bon.., my wife. Someone will lose their head, I must know everything, I must see her, I must speak with her, is she there now?"
"Hold on," I said, annoyed.
"Sooks, it's Eric"
She grabbed the phone from me, tears still in her eyes.
"Eric, what is going on?" she asked in a small voice.
Her tears continued flowing, as she began to realize that she couldn't feel her vampire anymore and why.
"I don't know who they were, Eric, why have you been away?"
"I don't know, Eric, it just hurt so bad."
"Yes. Yes. But-…I just want to …what are we going to do?"
She handed the phone back to me.
"Shifter, you are to bring my wife to me; leave her at the back entrance of the club with Pam then be on your way. Leave her with Pam, and not unattended, do you understand this?"
"I'm not a fucking idiot, yes I get it. Although I think that it is best for her to stay here with me, so she has someone to help her out in the day; she's pretty beat up, and upset."
"Listen, you sack of dog shit, you will bring her to me immediately, I will provide the best of care for MY wife, she will have my blood, she is not of your concern. Have her here within the hour, or I will start removing appendages for every minute you are late."
Okay, he was seriously pissing me the fuck off, but I wasn't going to let him know that. I planned on keeping all of my fingers, so I decided to get her ass out of here asap. I knew how Pam was with her torture devices. I wondered why he didn't just come get her, or send Pam.
"Yeah, I get it, I'll drop her off." I said as indignantly as possible, and hung up.
I wrapped Sookie up in the quilt and all but threw her in the car, she was crying and sniffling; she wouldn't talk to me. I grabbed her pills, pocketed them, and we were off to Shreveport in less than two minutes after I'd hung up the phone. I cared about this girl, I loved her, but she was in a bad way right now, and I knew I couldn't help her the way she needed. I tried to think that I was doing what was best for her. They would know more about what was going on, they could at least heal her up.
We got there in just under fifty minutes, thank God. Pam was waiting by the back door. She ran up to the truck before I even had it in park and flung Sookie's door open. She had fallen asleep during the ride and fell into Pam's arms before I even knew what was going on.
"We will be in touch, shifter."
And she zoomed away with my sweet, beat up fairy princess.
"I have a name you know, it's Sam- Merlotte" I said out loud to no one. I put the car in reverse and pulled out of the lot.
