Chapter 7

Eric landed silently for human ears to hear, but loud for vampires to crowd around him. That by one glare they left and Eric walked into the mansion quickly finding Sophie-Anne in her sunroom.

Her face lit up in excitement, "Ah Eric, what brings you here?" she asked.

Eric showed her the bag and took out a contained, a jar with Bill's leftovers.

"This is Bill Compton who was killed tonight at his home," Eric said.

"What no. Who killed him? And now the mission…" she trailed off killing a human in her frustration.

Eric bowed and said, "I don't know. He was killed from a far by a bullet that went through a window of his home while he was talking to Sookie,"

Sophie-Anne turned to him quickly, "She didn't get hurt, right?" she asked.

So, Sookie is part of this mission, Eric thought as he said, "She is fine and little shaken up when I found her. You mentioned a mission does that involved Sookie?"

Sophie-Anne sighs seeing as her agent was killed then she will have to use the Viking that with his beauty he could get Sookie to her faster. That way the higher ups will be pleased.

"Yes, he was supposed to capture the fairy's heart and bring her to me. So, I then give her to higher ups," Sophie-Anne explained.

Fairy? Taker her to high ups? What exactly is going on? Eric wondered and kept his face blank.

"By 'fairy's heart' you mean bring her willingly?" Eric asked straightening up.

Sophie-Anne nodded and stood up walking over to Eric, "So, will you do it? I'm sure you will bring better results than Bill and I'm sure you will be greatly rewarded," she said, proudly.

Eric smirks and bends down slightly, "Yes, my queen and if I may ask who are the higher ups?" Eric asked.

She turns around and shrugs waves at Eric as if to dismiss him.

"Don't know they have not shown their face and get rid of that disgusting of a jar," Sophie-Anne said, scrunching her face is disgust.

-Next Morning-

Amber chuckles a glint of amusement in her eyes as she watches Sookie walk down the stairs.

"Morning," Amber said.

Sookie rubbed sleep away from her eyes, "You're an early riser and my home is even cleaner than usual," Sookie said.

Amber shrugs, "I'm use to early mornings is how I was trained and I had a field day when you were at work. First eat something and then come to living room," Amber said.

Sookie nodded and did what Amber told her, but instead of eating in the kitchen she got her food and went to were Amber was in the living room.

"Did you even eat? What happened last night? And Pam?" Sookie asked her questions coming out fast, but Amber managed to answer them.

"Yes. You fainted when Pam got behind you and blew into your ear that could have been an overload for you. After you fainted I told her to leave in case Eric return," Amber answered.

Return from where? Sookie wondered as she ate a bowl of oatmeal as she observed Amber on the floor, sitting cross-legged in what seems to be meditation.

The silent around them was unbearable for Sookie who could not manage to sit still and made light noise with her plate even after she finished.

Amber lets out a sigh and open her eyes.

"You look like your about to explode, so out with it," Amber said.

"Who are you?" Sookie asked. There are many things that Sookie did not understand from her being a fairy as to why vampires wanted her. However, from everything that is happening or will soon happen her biggest mystery is Amber.

"You know who I am. I'm a marine," Amber said.

Sookie shook her head, "I'm not even sure what a marine does because I guessing they are different or the fact that you know about the supernatural world,"

"I knew of the supernatural creatures since before my time in the military which is full with them," Amber said.

"You mean even before people knew of the existence of vampires you already knew about them and other supernatural creatures like witches, werewolves and even mermaids," Sookie said eyes widen in slight disbelief.

Amber nodded.

"How am I even involved in this or you for this matter?" Sookie asked following Amber's graceful movement as she stood up that if Sookie didn't knew first hand she would have assumed that Amber was a vampire. However, she was not because she could eat human food and can go out in the sun.

She was a human and a very complicated one.

"I finding you in the highway was just pure luck and it was not something I planned or was told by someone else to do," Amber said and took one of Sookie's hand and led her to where she sat a few minutes ago.

Sookie tilts her head up at Amber who pushes her down onto the floor, "How you are involve in this is something I'm not sure about, but you first need to tap into your fairy heritage or in simpler words powers. Because I can't train you like I was and I can only teach you something basic which is why we need to figure out what you can do," Amber said.

Sookie blinks and giggles for a moment thinking that Amber was joking about her having some kind of power. Since she did not feel powerful or even believe that fairies had any powers other than reading human minds.

"I'm serious, Sookie. You do have powers, but since is not like I see fairies every day I can't ask them," Amber said.

Sookie nodded in understanding and shifted a little into a comfortable position on the floor.

"So, I just have to meditate to get in touch with myself to find out what I can do?" Sookie asked unsurely, doubting that meditation will work.

"Yes, because useless I either find a book about fairies or meet another fairy. You are the only source of any fairy knowledge," Amber said, this better work fast she thought glancing outside where she caught a slight movement in the trees.

"But what about the information you gave me to read. Was there anything on what a fairy could do?" Sookie asked.

"No, it just says the basic of what they are, the different kinds of fairies, that they live in other realm and that they hate vampires who can get drunk over fairy blood. Along with a rumor about fairy blood being able to make a vampire walk during the day but that has not been proven. However, I have my suspicions that it might be true that's why you need to train," Amber said.

Sookie nodded, I have to try and see what happens, Sookie thought and took a few breaths before closing her eyes.

Amber left the living room and up to the second floor into a guest bedroom where she had her M4 with scope and silencer.

She quickly got into position, and looked through the scope, four huh, she thought and aimed before pulling the trigger to kill the first one in the trees.

She picked up her weapon and headed downstairs and out the backdoor.

Quickly spotting the other two, she did not hesitate on pulling the trigger. The familiar recoil of her baby bringing a small smile to her face.

She lowers her M4 trying to spot the last person only for the man to come behind her, which was, not wise. She used the back of her M4 to hit the person in the face before she turned and shot him.

These men where trained, but who sent them? Amber wondered and was about to search the person for any clue when her phone started to ring.

She uses the strap on her M4 to slip it onto her back before she fishes out her phone.

"Grimoire," she said.

"Where you attacked too?" Ford asked.

"Yeah and they are not amateurs," Amber said.

"Tell me about that I had to kill five of them. Do you know who they are or who sent them?" Ford asked.

"No, but I assume is because of Sookie," Amber said.

Ford sighs from the other side, "I agree, I'll head over there soon. Right now, I'm in Dallas for a personal reason," Ford said.

Amber shook her head and asked, "For what reason?"

"I heard that there is an ancient vampire here, so I want to try and talk to him to find out if he knows something about fairies," Ford said.

"Oh and here I thought you were going to ask him if he knew your maker," Amber said.

"No, you are my maker, sister, mother, daughter and I don't need anyone else," he said.

Amber smirks, "That's correct," she said and hangs up.
