Chapter 3

"Nope." Hoyt smiled. Godric smiled softly at me, I shifted on my feet before turning away. He chuckled, disappeared from the room only to return moments later with two glasses of blood. He handed Hoyt one then held the other out to me. I went to wave it off but Hoyt growled. "Erica Freyja Northman!"

I sighed and took the glass. "Thank you Godric." I downed it and set it down on the table. "Happy?" I asked Hoyt.

"Not even close but it will do." He growled as he drank his glass and sat next to Jason. "Sit."

I sat down next to him, "Jerk."

"Deal." He snapped. When everyone sat down, he looked to Eric. "Now questions?"

"Torture?" He asked.

I flinched, Hoyt reached and grabbed my hand. "It is a daily thing with the Queen. At least it was for me, Willa and Erica." Jason whimpered, Hoyt kissed him. "The Queen wanted Erica in her control, in her bed." I gagged, he smirked. "Willa said it would never happen. So every day the Queen would find things to punish us for. Erica got the worst of it because she couldn't keep her mouth shut." He looked at me, I smiled sweetly. "Willa was close but Willa was strong. She held out, then the Queen set her on missions. Missions that she should have never survived but she did. Only the last one, the Queen and her bitch tortured Willa until she could barely stand then sent her after a very powerful wolf. She died fast. The wolf came to us and told us, we ran."

Jason sighed, "Antonio was a friend." He closed his eyes, "He never would have hurt Willa if there was another way around it."

Pam held up a finger, "Are ever going to tell us who this Queen is?"

I tensed as Jason began to shake, Alcide growled as Hoyt roared out in anger. I moved to Jason, sat on his lap, placed his face in my hands. "Jase? Jason, come back to me. Your okay. They are here, you are safe, Hoyt is fine. Come back to us. Jason Stackhouse, do you dare give in to them. Focus." Jason gasped and looked up at me. I sighed as I moved away, Hoyt hugged him and Alcide began to pace. I turned to Tara, "The Queen of Louisiana is Jessica Hamby, Childe of William Chompton. Her consort, right hand whore is..." Jason whimpered, Hoyt growled and Alcide nodded to me. "Sookie Adele Stackhouse."

"What?" Tara stood up and looked to Jason. "Sookie would never, you're ly..."

I grabbed her throat, "Do not finish that sentence Thorton."

"She isn't the same girl you left Tara." Jason whispered. "She lost it when Jessica turned her. She is some half Vampire, half Fairy monster. She murdered her husband, drained her daughter and enslaved the whole town." Jason closed his eyes as his tears fell. "She tortured my wife and slit my childrens throats. She chained me to a wall and whored me out until Willa came and demanded me as payment for her service to the Queen."

I closed my eyes as I remember Jason when Willa brought him home. I glared at Tara. "You know nothing of the horror of Sookie Stackhouse." I turned to Eric, "You should have let her die." I dropped Tara and walked back to my seat beside Hoyt. "The Queen and her whore are going to die, the only question is are you going to help us or am I going to have to fight you too?"

"Erica?" Hoyt growled.

"Don't Erica me." I snapped. "Northman loved her, Tara was her friend. I need to know now if they are going to try and save her!"

Eric watched me, "I need proof."

I nodded, "Al, call Amelia."

Alcide pulled out his phone and walked outside. Hoyt sighed, "Tara, Erica is right. Will you try and help Sookie?"

Tara glared at me but looked at Jason, "I want to see this proof."

I nodded, "I am tired."

Hoyt laughed as he looked at his watch, "The sun is coming up. Can we stay here are do we need to go to ground?"

"You can stay here. Only the first five rooms are taken on the second floor, choose one." Eric smiled.

"Thrid floor at the end." I stated before running off.

Hoyt sighed. "Can't run forever Erica."

"Watch me!" I shouted back before I ran up the stairs to the room, closed the door and laid on the bed to cry. I let my emotions go and screamed out in fear. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself.

I took deep breaths as the door openned and Eric walked in. I closed my eyes as he walked to the bed and sat down. He moved me to the middle, covered me with the blanket, laid down next to me and wrapped in arm around me. "It is okay to show pain, little Viking. It does not make you weak, it makes you passionate. rest and tomorrow we will make those who hurt you suffer for it." He kissed my forehead and began to sing to me, I didn't understand a word but it was beautiful. It was the last thing I heard before the sun pulled me under.

The Next Day

I opened my eyes and stretched. I sat up, looking up at the room and smiled. It was really nice, just my style. Dark rich brown and light green, I laughed. I got out of bed and took a shower. As I stepped out, I noticed an outfit on the counter. I picked up the note that laying on top. Pam.

You are a Northman. Now you should dress like it. Auntie Pam.

I smiled as I pulled on the black skin tight jeans, red lace bra and black and red corset. I brushed my blonde hair and left it down Slipping into the red heels at my door, I walked out of the room and walked down the stairs. I heard them arguing before I got there. It was Tara and Eric. "You can't honestly believe them, Eric. This is Sookie. She wore sundresses, went to church, never swore and believed in the good in everyone. I bet if we went right now, we would find her sitting at home with her family."

Eric sighed, "We will see the proof then deside what to do."

"They are lying." Tara snapped. "The wolf, Hoyt, Jason and that bitch." She growled. "I bet if we check, Willa will be there at Fangtasia as well."

I snapped, jumped off the stairs and flew at her. I gripped her throat in my hands and squessed. "You dare!" I hissed as I pushed my mind into hers. She screamed as I broke into her thoughts. "You dare!" I heard footsteps behind me.

"Erica! No." Hoyt tried to touch me but I lefted a hand and shot him back with a ball of light.

"No!" I turned to Tara. "See!" I pushed my memories into her mind. She screamed as they ran through her mind. "See!" All the torture, the blood, the raping and the death. "See! All of it!" I screamed as I forced her to watch Sookie torture her husband and murder her daughter. I forced her to watch as she killed Jason's family. I forced her to watch Willa suffer, Lafayette die and Arlene raped. I forced her to watch as Hoyt and I found Willa's body seconds before she exploded. I forced her to feel our pain. I pulled back from her mind and stared down into her scared eyes. "You dare." I pushed off her and walked to Alcide, who held me in his arms. "She said we lied about Willa. She dared."

Hoyt rushed to Tara's side, "Tara? Can you hear me?"

"Y... yes." Tara whispered. "What did she do?"

Hoyt sighed and sat on the floor. "She forced her memories into your head. It is very dangerous for her and for you." Hoyt looked to me in Alcide's arms. "She has only done it once before and part of person's mind stayed with her." He closed his eyes. "Amelia can take images from her mind and share them with us but to do what Erica did, it could lock you in your mind forever. Tara, I know Sookie is your best childhood friend but niether of you are children. You have to stop seeing her as the girl you use to know."

"Who did she do it on before?" Pam asked.

"Alcide." Hoyt looked at us. "It is why they are so close, like siblings."

"She shot you wth light." Eric growled. "That is a fae power."

Hoyt sighed and looked to me. "You are not wrong but I am an Angel, Eric. Light is our power as well."
