SO just a reminder I don't own anything.
And thank you All so much who had reviewed and follow my story. I love it
Sookie started calling out to Godric while Hugo paced back and for getting more and more anxious all the while Cloelia perched herself on a box and took off her shoes her feeting hurting way to much.
Sookie continued banging against the cage walls calling to Godric explaining that Eric had sent them. But all this seemed to be making Hugo more and more uneasy.
"Remember how I said I was claustrophobic, I wasn't making that bit up. I cant take elevators, walk in closets and you know how Hotels tuck the sheets in to tight I hate that" Hugo started as he started sweating sitting down and then standing back up several times.
"If you continue to think about it, then it will get worse, sit dow and relax" Cloelia said as she rubbed at her feet.
"How are you not freaking out about this?! We are trapped underground in a small cage and your rubbing your feet" Hugo exclaimed.
"This isn't the first time I've been in a situation like this Hugo. Now sit down before you give yourself a heart attack"
Sookie started looking at games going through the titles of them and saying how disgusting it was to teach children to hate.
"Sookie, I don't have time for games right now. I need to get out of here" Hugo exclaimed again.
"Take a deep breath…. Look at me… its going to be okay… we'll figure this out alright" Sookie spoke softly to him, Hugo now concentrating on his breathing was beginning to relax.
"So the Newlin's knew who we where the minute we walked in" Sookie said.
"They knew who you too where they had no idea who I was" Cloelia said as she looked at them.
"Someone at that nest is a traitor" Sookie said as she crossed her arms.
"You think one of the Vampires is siding with the Fellowship?" Hugo question. "Possibly to get Godric out of the way"
Cloelia gave a snort as Sookie shrugged off the idea.
"Stan wouldn't do that his hate for the Fellowship is too strong" Cloelia stated.
"Well you've met him, he'd tear us apart if we looked at him side ways" Hugo said causing Cloelia to snort again.
"If its true Bill and Eric will do a lot worse to him if they find out" Sookie said as she wondered over to the cage wall, "Bill should have felt my fear by now, he's going to come storming through that church at any second"
"You don't sound happy about that because?"
"This congregation is about to barbecue a 2000 year old vampire in front of them. Who knows what else they are capable of" Sookie sounded overly worried.
"For religious fanatics they are pretty tame" Cloelia said as she shook her hair out feeling the magic fall of the strands as it changed back to her natural raven.
"They are going to send Godric to meet the sun and you call that tame" Hugo exclaimed at her.
"I have seen many things done in the name of religion killing one person is quiet tame" Cloelia replied bored.
They were silent for an extremely long time. Sookie still stood pacing every now and again but standing close to the walls as she did so. Cloelia told them if they wished to get any sleep she would keep watch. Hugo seemed to relax almost immediately from where he sat closing his eyes. Sookie settled down after a while coming to sit next to Cloelia on the floor.
She was quiet for a long time, obviously thinking things through about their situation. She leaned her head against Cloelia's leg letting out a sigh as she did so. Cloelia started gently stroking the top of her head.
"Why hasn't Bill come yet?" Sookie whispered as she relaxed.
"I don't know, Child" Cloelia muttered.
Sookie settled down nearly completely after that. She nodded off to sleep knowing that Cloelia will be able to keep them safe if something happened. Cloelia though on the other hand was trying to concentrate about getting a message to Eric.
Eric and Isabel where standing looking over the church, when Eric felt a shiver run up his spine. Something that never normally happened to him.
"What was that?" Isabel asked in alarm as she watched him flinch.
"I don't know" Eric muttered as he brought his hand up to the back of his neck squeeze it slightly. He felt it again but this time it was nearly painful as it ran long his spine.
"Could it be Cloelia?" Isabel questioned, "I have seen times when she has wanted to talk with Godric in private he would get these jolts up his spine"
Eric would remember times where it seemed like Cloelia and Godric would have conversations right in front of him. While he knew they weren't saying anything out loud it was like by them looking into each others eyes they could talk.
"Do you think she's trying to tell you something?" Isabel asked worry evident in her tone.
"If she is, she's going to pay for it later. This shit hurts" Eric hissed out as another wave hit his back.
Cloelia spent most of the night trying to communicate with Eric but he was either preoccupied or didn't understand what she was trying to send through. Sookie had woken up a few hours after dawn when the noise of people walking through the church. Their feet echoing on the stone floor.
Cloelia informed Sookie that she wasn't able to get through to Eric. Sookie again started pacing around this time fretting over Bill not coming to her rescue, Hugo too had woken up and began panicking again about being in a confined space. Once again Sookie had calmed him down once again but it was evident that he was still stressed.
It was well into the afternoon before they heard movement at the door above the stairs, two sets of footsteps echoed down the stairs both Sookie and Hugo jumped up from where they are sitting to watch who came down.
Steve and Gabe walked into the area in front of their cage. Steve was overly perky while Gabe looked like he had the evening before.
"Good morning" Steve said as he moved in front of the cage waving a bottle of water around. "Refreshments? How did you'll sleep?"
"Their coming for us, you know" Sookie said as she walked closer to him.
"Yes, well that's what I thought, figured a pretty girl like you would have a Vamp run off to her rescue. Well we where kind of hoping for it weren't we?" Steve said as he bumped his hand against Gabe's chest.
"Yes, Sir. Bring it on" Gabe replied.
"We're ready for them" Steve said confidently. Cloelia gave a snort which caused Steve to look in her direction. "Didn't you have blonde hair yesterday?" He sounds more confused then he should have which caused Cloelia to smirk.
There where times back before the Great Revelation where Cloelia would be "caught" but different radical groups. During the time of the witch burnings it was a favourite past time for her. Being able to get innocent people or witches out of spots by doing a few things to freak out guards.
She stood from where she sat and moved towards Steve and Gabe. She continued to smirk as she put her left hand on the metal fence and forced it through. As the metal moved through her skin she had to keep herself composed so not to show that it actually hurt to do so.
Steve screeched as the hand reached out to grab him making Cloelia smirk even wider but she quickly retracted her hand as Gabe made a move at it.
"Your not human" Steve muttered out as he looked at her with wide eyes.
"Vampire blood, it does amazing things" Cloelia said to him as she moved back to her seat, happy with herself for freaking him out so much.
"You do realise your going to get yourself killed, that's not a threat that's a fact" Sookie said to Steve as he tried to regain his composure. His eyes became trained back on her but every so often they would flick over to Cloelia.
"Oh, they've got you all twisted up haven't they" Steve said as he shook his head.
"No actually she's pretty on point" Cloelia stated calmly having a small internal victory dance when Steve jumped at the sound of her voice.
"You're the ones who are twisted, you call yourself Christian's. Jesus would be ashamed of you" Sookie spat as she move right up against the wire.
Steve merely laughed though it wasn't a confident one, it was more a fake front one.
"I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on that one" Steve moved an grabbed a chair from behind him sitting it a good deal away from the fence before taking a seat.
"Now things got a great deal out of hand last night and I apologies for that. I'm not the monster the Vampire loving media makes me out to be"
"Yeah right"
"All I want from you is a couple of answers then I will be more then happy to feed you a nice warm meal and send you one your way"
Hugo jumped at it "What do you wanna know?" Hugo questioned causing both sookie and Cloelia too glare at him.
"Shut up" Sookie hissed.
"Sookie we need to get out of here just tell them what they want to know. Her name is Sookie Stackhouse and I'm Hugo Ayres and she is Lady Cloelia. We where sent here by the Vampires of Area 9 to find their Sheriff" Hugo explained out.
Steve frowned as he heard Sookie's name. "Sookie Stackhouse from Bon Temps"
"How do you know where I'm from?"
"Your Jason Stackhouse's…. Sister. Am I right?"
"You know Jason. He's got nothin to do with this"
Steve looked thoughtful as he leaned forward on his knee's before ordering Gabe to follow as he left them. Sookie ran against the fence demanding to know how they know her brother but they ignored her and continued walking.
Hugo started pacing around angrily as Sookie turned to him.
"Nice work"
"Hey we sat down here all night. Waiting for your boyfriend to show up. You can go on playing damsel in distress all you want but one way or another I'm getting us out of here" Hugo said as he raised his arms at her.
"Hugo do me a favour and shut the fuck up" Sookie said as she looked out the fencing.
Hugo took this time to turn to Cloelia.
"What the fuck was that? You can go through the fence" Hugo practically exclaimed at her. Cloelia who wasn't used to humans raising their voice at her raised an eye brow at him which seemed to make him back down a bit.
"It is an old trick, but it is extremely painful to preform. I only did it to freak him out a bit" Cloelia explained.
"Well what else can you do that can get up out of here" Hugo demanded.
Again Cloelia looked at him, "Nothing I'm far to weak after that trick and after spending most of the night trying to contact Eric"
The rest of the day proceeded extremely slowly for Cloelia's taste. Though the only up side was when Sookie touched Hugo and found out that he was the one who had been betraying them to the Fellowship, sprouting out about how Isabel didn't really love him and how she wouldn't never turn him. Cloelia had to control herself to try not to hit him.
Once evening came they could hear all the people packing into the church for their lock in after that it became quiet until a well beaten up Gabe walked in. Hugo tried to explain that Sookie and Cloelia knew everything but Gabe started beating into him causing both Cloelia and Sookie to jump.
Sookie jumped on his back while Cloelia tried to reframe him from the front only to end up getting hit hard across the head knocking her to the ground. The lack of sleep and over use of her magic made it hard for Cloelia to stop the pain and dizziness that followed she tried to stand unsteadily as she heard sookie start crying out and screaming as Gabe tried to rape her. About to cast some shock at his back Cloelia clung to the fence when Gabe was pulled off Sookie and held by the back of his neck.
"Godric" She whimpered as she slowly descended to the floor.
Godric's eyes shifted to her for a second before he looked at Gabe again.
"Godric its me" Gabe pleaded as Godric used his other hand to grip his throat before Godric twisted his neck hearing a sickening break of bones before he let Gabe's body fall into a heap on the floor.
"You should not have come" Godric said as he looked from Sookie to Cloelia. He move over to Cloelia turning her head to the side and looking at where she had been struck.
"It's nothing" Cloelia said as he pressed his lips against the spot.
There where screams and yelling coming from above them.
"Bill" Sookie exclaimed.
"No, I am down here my Child" Godric called softly as he stood in front of Cloelia. Cloelia didn't need to turn her head to know Eric was in the room. He moved directly over to Godric kneeling in front of him.
"Godric" He murmured as knelt.
"You're a fool for sending humans, and Cloelia after me" Godric spoke.
"I had no other choice, these savages they seek to destroy you" Eric said as he rose his head to look at Godric, "And you know I have no control over Cloelia's actions"
Cloelia kicked her foot at him hitting him in the shin not hurting him at all but she would make him pay later for throwing her under the bus.
"I am aware of what they have planned" Godric said ever so quietly Cloelia's eyes widened at this.
"What" Cloelia stuttered out, she was shock. Godric was willingly going along with this.
"This one betrayed you," if Godric had heard her he ignored it as he pointed to Hugo.
"He's with the Fellowship, they set a trap for us" Sookie explained as she hugged herself.
Godric turned to look at her before looking at Cloelia his expression softened as he looked at her. He reached down and helped her hand up supporting her weight against him.
"How long has it been since you've fed" Eric questioned.
"I require very little blood anymore" Godric said as he continued to look at Cloelia. He then turned his attention to Eric. Alarms started going off around them.
"Save the human and take Cloelia with you" Godric demanded.
"I'm not leaving your side" Eric started before Godric interrupted demanding that he could take care of himself.
"We have to go" Sookie said with urgency as she walked closer too them.
"Spill no blood on your way out" Godric said as he pressed his lips against Cloelia head before Eric pulled her from his side. Sookie had moved ahead of them as they walked up the stairs.
Once they reached the top Eric had let got of Cloelia and moved in front of Sookie's too look out the door. Sookie looked at Cloelia with concern but the witch gave her a reassuring smile. Her head while still hurting was no longer spinning.
"I can have you out in seconds" Eric said as he moved to look around a corner.
"There are kids out there" Sookie hissed.
"Those humans wouldn't think about hurting us" Eric said confidently.
"Why didn't you bring Bill with you?"
"His attachment to you is irrational and would cloud his judgement. He would kill every child in this church to save you" Eric explained as he continued to look.
"Why aren't you?" Sookie asked confused.
"Godric ordered him not too" Cloelia explained simply. Eric rolled his eyes at her.
"I'm following Godric's orders and getting you out, that's all" Eric flick an annoyed look at Cloelia as he pulled her behind him.
"He's your Maker isn't he" Sookie questioned.
"Don't use words you don't understand"
"You have a lot of love for him"
"Don't use words I don't understand"
Cloelia snorted at that earning yet another annoyed look from Eric.
Eric made to walk out to the door as they heard it shut but Sookie stopped him.
"Eric, No" She hissed at him. He moved towards her and leaned in close to her whispering that she need to trust him before making his move again. Sookie looked at Cloelia with worry but found that the witch was moving after him trying to stay out of view.
Eric was talking to them trying to be as convincing as possible when one of the three men started circling around behind him. Cloelia couldn't hear watch was being said but she knew by Eric sudden physical change he was glamouring one of them. The one that had creeped around behind Eric suddenly raise the and moved to strike.
Both Sookie and Cloelia yelled out to Eric making him move just in time. Cloelia moved forward as Eric disengaged them. Two ran from the room while Eric had one with a stake at his throat.
"Eric you don't have too kill him" Sookie said from behind Cloelia. Cloelia merely put a hand on Eric's arm and squeezed it gently before letting him go. Eric gave a sigh before throwing the stake on the ground and letting the man slump.
"Come on"
They moved towards the door, Eric opening it only a little bit to see a group coming towards the door.
"Their arrows are wood you'll never make it throw" the man on the ground said.
"Eric through the sanctuary" Sookie said quickly as she turned on her heel and headed for the door. Once they were through Eric demand the exit but it was too late. Steve Newlin stood in front of them at the alter.
"There are several actually" He said as he moved to stand in front of the alter, looking way to smug. "For you the easiest one takes you straight to Hell"
As he said that door behind them and to the side of them opened and large amount of men carrying Silver chains and wooded stakes walked in. Eric pulled Cloelia closer to him having her stand back to back with him while Sookie remained at her side. Eric knew better then anyone that in a fight Cloelia could call on power he didn't even know about.
"Let us leave. Save yourselves. No one has to die" Sookie pleaded.
"The war has begun. You Evil whore of Satan. You vampires cast the first stone by killing my family. The line has been drawn, your either with us or against us" Steve bellowed as he preached. "We are prepared for Armageddon"
"The Vampire your holding prisoner, he got away. He's a sheriff, he's bound to send for help" Sookie tried pleaded again.
"Oh I'm not concerned with Godric. Any Vampire will do for our grand celebrations and we got on right here" Cloelia froze as she listened to Steve.
"Eric don't let him" Cloelia hissed as she stared more fiercely at the crowd.
"I'll be fine" Eric muttered as he moved away from them, Cloelia moved quickly spinning around and grabbing ahold of his jacket.
"Don't" Cloelia tired again.
"Someone restrain the bitch" Steven called out when he noticed that Eric had stopped. Two different sets of hand grabbed her by the upper arms and tugged her hard from Eric. Once they had finally gotten her off they pulled her hands behind her back.
Cloelia struggled intensely but when Eric turned and sneered at her, she stopped. Tears started filling in her eyes as she tried pleading with him through her eyes but he continued up to the alter.
"Brothers and Sister there will be a holy Bonfire at dawn. Silver him" Steve demanded.
Eric didn't put up any kind of a struggle as two of Steve's soldiers grabbed at him and led him to the alter, once he was laying down another of the soldiers laid silver over all of his exposed skin. Cloelia let out a whimper at this causing Eric to look at her. His fangs where dropped and he groaned in pain as he did it.
"You see, just as our lord was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver a few ounces of silver can betray a child of Satan to the world" Steve preached, there was a around of noise from the crowd.
"That doesn't make any sense. How can any of you listen to him" Sookie stress to them but none of them.
"Because fear breeds stupidity" Cloelia chimed, there was a noise beside her and then a hand came down hard across her face.
"What'd you say bitch" one of her captives demanded.
Before she could answer Eric started speaking, "I offer my self in exchange for Godric's freedom and the girls as well"
"That's noble, but they are just as guilt as you are. She's a traitor to her race the human race she hardly deserve mercy and the other well she isn't even human is she" Steve told him.
There was more noise from out side, while Sookie and everyone else looked at who opened the door Cloelia kept her focus on Eric. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Steve draw a gun on Sookie.
"Take one more step Vampire and she gets it"
"Shoot her and everyone here will die, let her go now"
"Honestly what do they see in you, Soldiers some silver chains for our friend here"
As Sookie tried to plead for Bill to be left alone a new voice enter the room by calling out to Steve and then the sound of a gun going off. Steve groaned in pain as he dropped the gun.
"Let them go Fuckward" the new person yelled there was another sound of the gun Steve was calling out in pain and the next thing Cloelia knew the hand that had held her were gone. The moment she was free she wasted no time and moving towards Eric pilling the chains of him as quickly and as carefully as she could.
Once they where off Eric made a direct line for Steve grabbing him by the throat and slamming him into the stone steps.
"Eric don't kill him" Sookie tried pleaded from her spot beside.
"Eric" was all Cloelia could get out as the new person started yelling.
"No kill him. Kill the mother fucker"
"Go ahead Martyr us, Martyr us before God" Steve yelled out, "We are willing to die".
Before Eric could even decide the door to the sanctuary opened and Stan walked in an army of Vampires behind him.
"Steve Newlin, you have pushed us to far. You expect us to sit on our thumbs while you round up your man to come lynch us. Well kill you first, same way we did your father" Stan announced as he moved down towards them.
Before Cloelia could comprehend what was happening Godric was standing on the railing of the upstairs area calling out to them.
"Enough. You came for me I assume, Underling?" Godric questioned to Stan.
Stan gave a disgruntled yes before Godric continued.
"These people have not harmed me. You see we can coexist. Mr Newlin, I do not wish to creat blood shed when none is called for. Help me set an example, if we leave you in peace will you do the same?" Godric put forth.
It was quiet in the sanctuary for a few second before Steve started moving. He kneeled in front of Eric removing his tie and bearing his neck to him.
"I will not negotiate with sub humans, kill me. Do it Jesus will protect me"
"I am actually older then you Jesus. I wish I could have known him but I missed it"
Cloelia knew that this last bit hadn't meant to come out as sarcastic but she couldn't help the smile that spread across her face when it sound like it was. Godric then disappeared from view only to appear again behind Steve grabbing him but the scruff of his neck and pulling him from the ground.
"Good people, who of you are willing to die for this mans madness?" Godric questioned as he looked around the room. Cloelia watched as none of hem stepped forward. "That is what I thought. Stand down every one" once all the vampires had let go Godric then order the humans to leave, telling them it was over.
Godric threw Steve to the ground before telling him that his faith in human kind was stronger. Godric then turned to Cloelia putting his hand out for her to grab, Cloelia like always never hesitated as she threaded her fingers through his. He then order the Vampires in the room to follow him. Stan tried to stop him but Godric merely repeated his order.
Once they where out of the building Godric pulled Cloelia's arm around his shoulders and place his arm around her hips lifting her slightly off the ground. He then took of moving through the empty roads and streets at impossible speeds as he took them back home.
Don't forget to leave me a review!
