To Challenge the Sun

Early morning Bo woke up to the sunshine streaming through her high windows. Sitting up she threw the blankets off of her and walked up to the closet as she sifted through the clothes in it. Pulling from it a white dress that reached to her knees she produced a baby blue belt and a pair of white patent pumps. Showering and dressing she took the time to curl her hair and do her make up as neat and plain as possible but making her eyes pop and her lips peached. Turning from side to side the doorbell to her room rang and she walked out into the hall and to it.

Opening it she saw Sookie and Hugo and saw they both looked very nice as Sookie was wearing a light blue buttoned up summer dress and wedges.

"Wow…" Sookie said as she looked at Bo. "Them Fellowship people are gonna think you're some kind of angel."

"Hush. Let us go over real quick who you are…Sookie, Hugo?"

"Eve and David and we are looking to find a venue to get married and heard that the Fellowship of the Sun had a beautiful church." Sookie recited.

"We are looking for an April wedding, we detest vampires, and are members of Fellowship from Georgia." Hugo also recited.

"I am Nina and am Eve's sister. I am the maid of honor and am there for moral support. Good seems we have our story straight. Shall we?"

The three of them exited the hotel to have a valet drive up with a white Rolls Royce and he presented the keys to Hugo.

"A gift from Isabel." The valet said and everyone piled in and Hugo drove them to the location of the Fellowship's church.

During the ride there, Bo was thinking on many things. Firstly she was trying to figure out how a two thousand year old vampire was captured. To her that sounded like something very difficult for a mere human to do. Something didn't seem quite right. But before she could harp on it any longer the car was parked and she then looked up at a glass domed church. It was indeed very pretty but she knew that something dark lurked behind it.

Something of someone of her station was trained to sense.

Exiting the car she took Sookie's arm and together they walked up to the front doors and in the foyer was met with a peppy blonde woman who was easily recognized as Steve Newlin's wife Sarah Newlin.

"Oh you must be the happy couple to be?" she said as she stuck her hand out first to David and then to the women. "We are so glad you are considering choosing our church for your happy nuptials. Let me give you the grand tour and by the end of it if you still have your heart set on this place we'll start the paperwork. Shall we?"

Sarah led them through the church and during that time Bo had been looking around a few paces behind. She saw a door that Sarah had not mentioned and it looked like the way it was placed down the back hallway that it led to the basement.

"Miss Lodd are you alright?" Sarah asked as she looked over at Bo whom was lagging behind.

"Hm, oh yes. I was just wondering where the bathroom was. I know you had mentioned it before but…what with everything to think about with this wedding my memory has been dead awful as of late."

"Walk back to the foyer and it's in the back hallway to your right."

"Thank you so much. Be back in a minute Eve." Bo made a show of kissing her 'sister' on the cheek and then turning and walking out of the main worship hall.

But the minute she stepped into the foyer someone came up behind her and grabbed her around the middle and pressed a cloth over her mouth and nose. It smelled sweet and before she knew it Bo's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she passed out.

It wasn't long however before she awoke to be lying on a stone floor in a cell. Groaning and pushing herself to her knees she sat up and looked around and then saw Sookie pacing in the cell with her.

"Sook?"

"Oh Bo you're alright?" she dashed to her knees and placed her hand on Bo's back gently rubbing comforting circles.

"What the hell happened?"

"They knew somehow." Sookie said. "It was Frank…he's the mole."

"Should have figured." Bo grumbled and Sookie helped her to her feet. Once stable she looked about and then almost laughed as she saw the cell door. "Really? They think this is going to keep me in here?"

Waving her hand over the lock it clicked and the cell door opened but before the girls could step out of the cell the door opened to the basement and there were two men armed with a crossbow and wooden stakes and a gun.

"How'd you fangbangin whore's open that cell?" one roared as he went at them weapons raised. Bo held her hands up and Sookie was grabbed from her side. "I'll teach you what a real man feels like…not that scum you fuck."

Sookie was thrown to the ground and she tried to kick and scream but the large guy was on top of her. Bo was grabbed but that was a mistake as Bo turned around and with the powerful thrust of her fist backhanded it across the man's face and he went flying up against the wall and passed out. Bo walked up to the guy on top of Sookie and pulled him off of her as she turned him around and held him by the neck.

"I'll show you what a real woman feels like." She said dangerously low as her eyes began to glow brighter than ever and she pressed her lips to his.

His eyes began to glow too and he struggled a bit but was unable to escape and suddenly the veins around his mouth began to turn black as well as around his eyes. Before anyone knew it he fell to the ground dead a broad grin on his face and blackened lips. Bo seemed revived as her eyes stopped glowing and she looked down at Sookie who had a slightly bruised cheek and her dress was torn open.

"Here." Bo held her hand out and Sookie took it as she helped her to her feet. Bo then waved her hand and Sookie's dress flew back together as though it had never been ripped apart.

"What did you do to him?" Sookie asked and Bo looked down at the dead assailant with indifference.

"I just sucked the life out of him is all. Come on we have to get out of here."

Leading Sookie up the stairs she was met with more Fellowship soldiers and she easily disengaged them all with her mere brute strength. After they were all knocked out she led Sookie towards the foyer through the hall. But as they rounded the corner both ran into Eric as he looked down at them both with a frown.

"There you two are!"

"Well sorry we got caught. Isabel's human was the nark. We've been being played from the moment we stepped foot in Dallas."

"Dammit." Eric cursed and he then looked back down the hall.

"We have to find Godric."

"Then take Sookie and leave and I'll stay and find Godric."

"No. You can't stay there's more of them and you'll…"

"I'll be fine." Bo said confidently. "I have powers. And that little pick me up from earlier helped bring me back up to my full strength. I won't let them catch me unawares on my way to the bathroom again. Promise. Now go with Eric and leave."

"Bo I-,"

"Do as she says." Eric said as he pulled Sookie along. "I'll be back for you and Godric."

Eric left down the hallway and Bo turned back around and headed down the basement hallway. It was dark and there was very little light so concentrating her eyes began to glow again and with the enhanced sense she began to walk with a little bit more awareness of where she was going. After using her powers to try and sense if there were any more life forms she came to a storage room. Stopping before it she reached out and turned the knob to find it open and she curiously went inside.

Inside the room it was lit a bit better but sitting on a cot reading a book was a young man about the age of sixteen in appearance. His skin was pale, eyes the color of fresh rain and a head of short dark hair. His attire was thin and white and he looked very tired. But from the drawings of him that she had read in books she knew him to be Godric.

"Godric?" she asked though to be sure and he looked at her curiously. He closed his book and stood and Bo's eyes turned back to their normal light brown.

"Yes. I would assume you are from the Fellowship, but I know they do not allow young women down here…or anywhere without the presence of a male. And you are different…your eyes just now…"

"They do that when I'm hungry or annoyed. Right now I'm a bit of both. You see I drove all the way from Bon Temps, Louisiana, got pulled into this hair-brained scheme, drugged, placed in a cell and almost had my co-worker and friend raped and now I'm here busting you out."

"You must be mistaken however for I was not forced to come here." He said lightly.

"You weren't….of course not. You're two-thousand years old. You can't be forced if you do not want to. Then why are you here?"

"To repent. I have given myself willingly for the safety of my nest and area. I just want peace."

Bo stood there with wide eyes and she then started to laugh. Then she began to pace back and forth, hands on her slender hips as she rolled her eyes and looked at the ceiling.

"So this is how far the great fearsome Godric has fallen. You realize they will not keep their word? Humans are selfish benign creatures only intent on destroying themselves and everything else? Leeches with no appreciation for the life given to them. They call us the unholy one's when they could never be as pure as we are. You…you live forever and me…I am a part of a race that pre-dates all humans."

"You're a Fae." He said softly and in almost awe. "From Society…aren't you?"

"Yes. And I'm here upon request of Eric your progeny. Now, can we leave? If we hurry this will not get violent."

"I cannot-," he paused as Godric got this very far away look on his face and he reached up and rubbed the middle of his chest. "Eric is in pain."

"Shit…" Bo then walked forward as she placed her hand on Godric's shoulder and one moment they were in the basement and the next they were in the hallway leading to the main worship room. Peeking around it Bo and Godric saw that Eric was being held down by silver chains on an alter before a room of some of Newlin's followers. Sookie and Bill stood to the side and looked like they had no choice but to stand there and witness what was about to happen. Bo looked back to see that Godric was not there and she grumbled before walked out into the open. A few people looked at her strangely, including Steve Newlin who was present.

"You know that cell of yours is awfully cheap. Couldn't keep me locked in for more than a few seconds."

"Restrain her." Steve said and as a few men made to go for her she merely smirked and held her hand out as they went flying across the room. One landed back first on a pew, his spine clearly being heard broken and the other got the wind knocked out of him up against a wall.

"Sorry, I can't be restrained." She said lowly as she still approached him. But before she could get within five feet he pulled a gun out and held it to her head. Bo stopped and held her hands up.

"You're a demon and you too will burn with the vampire."

"Wow…" Bo said as she dead panned. "Wow, wow, wow…why do all the witches get credit for everything magical that goes on."

Dropping her hands she pointed her finger at him.

"Educate yourself you moron. Do I look like a witch to you? No, I'm what the world calls a Succubus or better known as Succubae meaning one of me since I am the only one here. I'm a Fae…Fairy…being that predates humans."

Steve just looked at her with a real confused look but the minute the doors to the worship room burst open his finger pulled the trigger out of instinct and the next moment Bo fell to the ground with a thud. Sookie screamed and went to go for Bo but Bill held her back.

The new pressing problem was the vampires as they snapped necks and surrounded the rest of the Fellowship followers. Newlin dropped his gun and then taking a stake he went for Eric only to have Godric hold him by the throat and up the air.

"The deal is off." He said. "I do not condone this violence. You have killed a representative of Society, and I will not let you kill more."

But Steve was ripped away from Godric's grasp and Bo was there as she held him up by the scruff of the collar. There was no blood and the bullet hole was still in her forehead and Steve looked horrified.

"Takes more than that to kill a Fae." She said as she tossed him and he landed knocked out and in a sprawl with probably a few broken limbs.

"You alright boss?" a vampire asked with a cowboy hat.

"I am fine underling. But this violence has created a mess. You shouldn't have come."

"Eric!" Sookie ran up to the alter as she pulled the silver off Eric and he burst up from the table and took a human as he sank his fangs into him and drained him. Eric's skin melded back together and the burn marks disappeared.

"Let us leave." Godric said. "I'm tired and want to go home."

Bo stood there and she rubbed her forehead and slowly the bullet popped out on its own, her skin repairing itself much like a vampire's.

"Why can't I ever get shot in a nice place like the arm or the leg? It's always the head." She mumbled as she walked passed everyone without a care in the world and tossed the bullet over her shoulder.
