Chapter 4

(Sookie's POV at dusk)

When I woke up, I couldn't see anything given that I was blind folded. I moved around in my seat to see what damage has been done. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied to the chair, and my mouth was duck taped shut. I'm pretty sure my elbow is broken, because a shooting pain shot through it when I tried to move it. My head was throbbing from the wound I got when I was taken.

But the only thing I could think of, was that I should have gone to Eric's instead of going home that night. However, I had no idea anyone would have come after me. It had been two months since Eric's maker meet his final death. I was relieved to know that he didn't have a hold on Eric anymore. But more importantly during that time there were no threats against me. When the fairies snatched me, at least I knew about the evil fairies. I had been somewhat prepared, by carrying around squirt guns of lemon juice. But this time, it was out of the blue.

I heard the door open, and I began to tense up. Three sets of footsteps started their way down a long stair case. They stopped only a few steps in front of me. I began to breathe heavier. This was the part where I was going to get beat up. I could just feel it in my gut. I braced myself as best I could, waiting for them to strike. I honestly had no idea what they were going to do to me or why I was even taken.

"I'm sorry." I heard from one of my attackers, who was a human. They felt bad for the actions they were about to inflict on me, which I found to be odd.

"You know what to do," said a smooth voice.

I began to breathe faster, trying to free myself but I was tied so tight that I couldn't free myself from their restraints.

"Sookie, I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. I know you can hear me. It's Amelia…. Octavia and I are here, against our will. We know how to remove the blood bond. If we don't do this, they will kill all of us. I knew about the spell for awhile, but I didn't tell you because I knew how you felt about Eric, even when you couldn't separate your feelings from the blood bond." She thought sadly.

I shook my head, and moved more hastily in my seat. Eric was the only hope I had of getting out of here, and now I was about to lose that connection. I felt one hand on each of my shoulders, one of them was in front of me and the other was behind me. I began to sway in my chair, with my shoulders heaving back and forth as I sobbed. The hands on my shoulders began to hold me tighter to control me. They started to chant in a language I didn't recognize. I wondered if this was going to cause me any physical pain or if I would even be able to feel it?

They went through the chant, and paused. I haven't felt anything so far, so maybe it didn't work? The vampire in the room commanded them to continue. They chanted it at much faster rate. They repeated it over and over. Then I began to feel it. It felt like my skin was slowly peeling of my body. I let out a scream of anguish. The faster they chanted the more it hurt. My whole body was shaking uncontrollable as thoughts of death filled my head. The chanting accelerated, and as it did my body began shake at the same rate until I couldn't hear them anymore.

(Bill's POV)

I drove as quickly as I could to Fangtasia. Sam called me earlier tonight to inform me of Sookie's disappearance. I went to her house to see if I could track the captors scent. But I wasn't able to track them. The call I got from Pam was even more suspicious. Eric was unconscious on his office floor. How did this happen? Vampires do not lose consciousness unless it's during the day. But now it was only midnight. Something about this was not right. First, Sookie goes missing, and then Eric has an episode that can't be explained. When I arrived at the bar, there were barely any cars in the lot. Pam probably shut it down to tend to Eric.

I opened the front door, and made my way to the back. When I reached his office, I saw Pam hovering over him. She looked up when the door opened, and gave me a miffed look. They tried giving him some Trueblood to see if that would strengthen him. However, he just laid there motionless. This was truly an unprecedented sight.

"He will have to feed on a human." I said.

"A human donor should be here soon. He has only been feeding on Sookie for awhile now, so he won't be fond of feeding from a donor. It also might be hard to stop him from draining the donor." Pam said flatly.

"I'll interfere if he gets carried away." I offered.

There was a knock on the door, and Felicia entered with the human donor. This donor was a woman in her mid forties. When her brown eyes focused on Eric, she had a look of concern on her face. She dressed more like a fangbanger, with a black leather ensemble. Her brown unkempt hair sat upon her head in a messy bun. Her skin was so fair that she almost could've passed as a Vampire.

Pam reached for the woman's arm and bit into it exposing a steady stream of blood. She placed the woman's arm over Eric's open mouth. After a few drops fell into his mouth, his eyes instantly opened. He grabbed her down towards him as he bit her neck. He had a hungry look on his face as he sucked the blood out of her veins. The woman was getting close to being drained, her eyes were shutting, and that's when I lurched at them. It was a struggle to get him off of her, but eventually he let go. She was extremely drained, so Felicia took a bite from her wrist and let the human donor drink until she was well enough to leave.

"Eric… how are you feeling?" Pam asked concerned.

He still had a blood lust in his eyes. I handed him the Trueblood bottle, which was lying next to Pam. "Here finish this off, it might help you."

He gave me a curt nod as he took the bottle from my hands. He guzzled it down in a flash. Although he was almost back to normal, something was still wrong with him.

"She's gone." He said almost in a whisper.

"Yes, but working hard to find her." Pam said trying to convince him.

"No, Pam. She's gone." He snapped at her as blood tears trailed down his cheeks. "I can't feel her anymore…They killed her."
