A/N: Here's another update for you guys! I owe it to you all since I have been gone for a while.

After being tortured horribly by the Authority members, Pam sighed in exhaustion. She was back in her jail cell just waiting for the ultraviolet lights to turn back on and burn her all over again.

For a moment, she thought about everything she had done for Eric just to keep him safe. The fact that Dieter Braun forced her to tell him where he was made her feel horrible on the inside and she wondered if Eric would ever forgive her for betraying him.

Suddenly, Pam felt her body shiver entirely, hearing a distant voice that called her name, instantly recognizing it as Eric's voice. Her eyes widened slightly, her head whipping towards the locked cell door. Eric was calling on her and she wanted to leave, but she knew she couldn't. She groaned in frustration, now looking down at her lap as she sat there on the floor still trying to recover from all the pain she endured. "Eric…" she trailed off.

Eric stood outside in front of the hotel in Hawaii, waiting for Sookie to get her last-minute things from the hotel before leaving to Dallas, Texas. Eric stared at the trees and the street before him, waiting for his progeny Pam to show up. Minutes passed and his eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion when he saw that Pam was still nowhere to be found. He began to wonder why she was taking so long to get him when suddenly, a shield of silver chains wrapped over his face and body from behind and Eric yelled out in pain, his fangs popping out instantly.

A group of Vampire Authority soldiers dressed in all black, each carrying a long black submachine gun surrounded him, along with the Vampire Authority member Nan Flanagan.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Joker… thought you wouldn't be caught?" She folded her arms beneath her chest, tilting her head to the side, smirking at him.

Meanwhile, Sookie gathered her last-minute things from the hotel room, her mind still stuck on the information she found on those files the previous night. She planned to confront Eric and demand to know what he was up to once they arrive in Dallas.

After closing the door shut tightly to her hotel room, it only took a minute for her to wind up outside in front of the hotel. Her eyes instantly furrowed in confusion when she saw Eric was nowhere to be found outside. "Eric?" She called out, her voice echoing along the air.

Eric groaned in pain after being thrown inside of a room and onto a chair where one of the Vampire Authority soldiers began to hook him up onto a IV contained with refined silver. He continued to pant, glaring at the soldier.

"Shut up," the soldier said in annoyance as he now began to remove the shield of silver off Eric's face. Eric hissed loudly when he felt his skin unsticking from the silver chains, immediately knowing his face was now covered in the print of those chains. He breathed heavily as he tried to regain self-control, giving himself a moment to heal.

He was now left alone in the room to think and groan in anger. His body was slowly beginning to heal itself and right now all he thought about was ripping the Authority members hearts out.

His eyes quickly snapped onto the door in front of him when he heard it open, seeing a dark brown-haired woman dressed in an olive-green dress. He immediately recognized the woman as Salome Agrippa, a Chancellor and Guardian of the Authority. Eric instantly revoked his fangs when she saw her beginning to approach him, eyeing the small remote in her right hand.

"Hello, Eric Northman, or should I call you The Joker?" She asked, now standing before him.

"You can call me whatever you like," he responded, feeling his face beginning to heal itself.

Salome watched as his face began to heal, now taking a seat on the desk across from him. "So tell me. How did you get the name the Joker exactly?" She asked, crossing her leg over the other. She took a moment to stare at his green hair and the tattoo on his forehead and the one below his left eye.

"Isn't it obvious?" He smiled at her, seeing that she was staring at his hair. "The hair, the name, the tattoos? My hair is long, blonde and normal and nobody bats an eye, but once I die it green, everybody suddenly loses their minds!"

Salome giggled slightly.

"Do you want to know how to plan a space party?" He asked her.

"How?" She asked, not sure where this was going.

"You planet!" Eric began to laugh at his own joke. "HAHA!"

Salome giggled again, now understanding how he got his name. "That's quite a clever joke." She admitted.

Eric continued to laugh to himself.

"It's wonderful to be a vampire, isn't it?" Salome wondered.

Eric's laughter began to die down as he now became serious. "Generally, yes. Right now?" He slowly began to look at her, anger still inside of him. "Not so much."

"If you'll give me your full cooperation, not only will we not be needing the silver—" she pointed at the IV he was connected to, "—but you, you'll leave here a free man. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for your um, your progeny."

"Progeny?" He asked, trying to see if he heard right.

"Yes, we have your progeny, Pamela."

His eyes hardened on Salome, now understanding why Pam hadn't showed up earlier when he called on her. "She won't leave here a free man?"

Salome smirked at him. "She honestly gave us a hard time with cooperating, but eventually she fessed up and that is why you're here today. Her betrayal was unforgivable." She told him. "She met the true death."

At that moment, Eric felt his heart drop instantly to the bottom of his stomach, that small smile on his face now falling into a firm thin line. His eyes fell from Salome's as he now looked down towards her dress, taking in those words she just announced. If Pam honestly met the true death, he would've felt it, he would've known already.

Salome sighed as she now plopped down from the desk she was sitting on, now slowly approaching his side. "I know," she said lowly, dropping her body a little down next to hm. "This must pain you."

He continued to avoid eye contact with her, staring at the floor as he thought about Pam. He honestly did not believe she was gone, he would've felt it. He knew she was lying.

Salome stared at the heartbroken look on his face. "I'm sorry. But you must understand, that noncooperation will not be tolerated."

He slowly turned his head to look at her, a powerful look of hatred evident in his eyes.

"Now, was it you or Sookie Stackhouse who murdered Russell Edgington?"

"Russell Edgington is dead?" He asked her in confusion, showing he had no idea of the accusation.

She tilted her head at his response and began to stand back up straight, holding the small remote in her hand. She immediately pressed the button while walking back towards the desk.

Eric's eyes instantly locked onto the IV machine that was now whirring, seeing that it was now pushing down the silver solution when suddenly Eric felt it shoot quickly inside his blood, the silver shock feeling as if he was being electrocuted. Eric grunted in pain, biting down on his lower lip as his body began to let out a harsh smoky steam.

Bon Temps, Louisiana

After finding an object dropped on the floor in Hawaii, Sookie was able to find out exactly where Eric was by using psychometry (an ability fairies can use when looking into the past by making a connection to an object which causes them to enter the minds of those that were present in those areas) and she was planning to find him and set him free from the Authority.

A strong ray of bright blue light beamed out of Sookie's hands onto a large tree. Her mind focused specifically on the energy she desired to gain with light. She was using photo kinesis, hoping it would cause the large tree to topple over so she could make wooden stakes.

She continued to put all her energy into the bright blue beam of light, her eyes widening as she now saw the tree beginning to fall back and eventually landing in the middle of the street with a loud thud.

As soon as the tree fell back, she heard a car approaching from down the street and from a distance she discovered it was a white Ferrari with no roof. She quickly used her vampire speed and hid herself in the forest. When she saw the Ferrari slow down and stop in front of the tree that was blocking half of the road, she noticed a woman and her boyfriend inside of the car.

The man in the driver's seat groaned. "Why the fuck is there a giant tree in the middle of the street?" He groaned.

Sookie hardened her eyes on the two individuals.

"Well that's a bummer… I was really looking forward to partying at Fangtasia." The woman sighed.

"Oh we will honey," he began to get out of the car, closing the door beside him. He stood in front of the large tree, eyeing each angle of it, noticing that it looked very wide, thick, and heavy looking.

A deep hunger was settling in the pit of Sookie's stomach. It was weird and intense, something she hadn't experienced before. Her eyes shot at the woman who was watching her boyfriend beginning to attempt to move the tree, his back facing the front of his car. Sookie's fangs instantly popped out.

"Babe, forget it there's no way in hell you can move that tree." She called out loudly.

Sookie quickly vanished next to the passenger side of the car where the woman was sitting in. The woman's voice hitched quickly when she saw her unexpected approach. Sookie locked eyes with the woman, beginning to glamour her while lowering her voice. "You will stay quiet and you will not say a word." She took a moment to eye the man attempting to move the tree she toppled over. His back was still facing the car, not hearing a thing. Sookie shot her head back at the woman and grabbed her, quickly disappearing back into the woods.

She threw the woman up against a tree and stared at her neck for a long moment.

The woman stared at her with wide eyes, unable to say anything since she was being compelled not to.

It had been about a year since she had been a fairy vampire hybrid, but ever since she was turned, Sookie had been experiencing a deep hunger, especially during night fall and smelling the presence of humans. It did not make any sense to her at all because she was now learning how to control herself around humans and not kill them, but something inside of her, something inside of that hunger kept telling her otherwise. The other night in Hawaii she managed to have self-control during night fall, but she assumed it must have been because she had already fed earlier that day and she was not hungry. Tonight, however, seemed different. She had no tru blood and she had no human to eat that day. She was yearning for fresh human blood.

Without thinking, she pierced her fangs into the woman's neck. Sookie's mind suddenly fell into a black hole, and all she focused on was draining this woman of her blood. She grabbed her tightly by her arms, her fangs sinking more into the woman's flesh.

Meanwhile, the man who had gotten out of the Ferrari groaned when he realized that the tree wouldn't budge even a little. "Alright babe, I guess we can just party at some other club." He whipped his head toward the car and was surprised to see his girlfriend was nowhere present. His eyebrows furrowed together in confusion, his eyes now wandering around his surroundings. "Veronica?" He called out, his voice echoing.

Suddenly, Sookie creeped up on him from behind and sunk her fangs hungrily into the pit of his neck. Caught off guard, the man screamed in fear. In seconds, Sookie was draining him of blood before throwing the corpse toward the ground, now wiping the remaining blood from her lower lip. "Wow, you were tasty." She hummed.

At that moment, she didn't even care that she just killed two people.

Eric groaned after being thrown inside of the Authority's jail cell. He glared at the security guards while they secured the door before watching them walk off.

"Eric?" a familiar voice called from four jail cells away from his.

"Pam," he called, quickly whipping his head at the direction he heard her voice coming from.

"I'm so sorry I got you trapped here," she said, frowning.

"It's okay. I'm glad that you're still alive," he said, eyeing her completely.

He noticed she was bleeding from her ears and her skin looked very pale as if she hadn't eaten in days. "Have they been feeding you in here?"

"What do you think?" She gave him a serious look, leaning her back against the small bed in her jail cell. She tore her eyes off him and looked down at her lap.

Eric shook his head, annoyed. "I'm going to get us out of here, don't worry."

Pam slowly lifted her head, her breathing sounding as if she was wheezing. "And how are you going to do that?"

Sookie pressed her foot hard on the gas, the Ferrari letting out a loud noise as she flew through the road, not bothering to follow the speed limit. Her hair was blowing harshly along the wind while she listened to the music on the radio she had blasting rather loudly. She was listening to the song Bad at Love by Halsey, singing along to it while driving. After feeding on those two humans that appeared to her earlier that night, she decided to steal their car along with whatever came with it. She had meant to make wooden stakes earlier from that tree she cut in half, but she decided that it would take forever and thought about stealing the Authority's guns instead (if she was able to figure out where they were hiding at first).

"I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe that we're meant to be. But jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy gets the best of me." Sookie hummed, the cold wind hitting her face, her hair flying behind her neck. "I don't mean to frustrate but I always make the same mistakes yeah, always make the same mistakes cause... I'm BAD at LOVEEE!" She sang loudly. "But you can't blame me for trying, you know I'll be lying saying you were the ONEEE!"

Sookie silenced herself once she felt a shiver run up her spine, hearing her name being called from a far distance that appeared to sound as if it were Eric. Her eyes widened slightly as she got a glimpse at exactly where he was. Quickly, she pressed her foot harder on the gas. "I'm comin', puddin'."

When Sookie arrived at the Authority's building, she parked the Ferrari a bit further from the building, so she wouldn't be seen. As she was beginning to get out of the car, she noticed a bag on the floor in front of the passenger seat with what appeared to be a gun sticking out from the inside of it. Curious, she grabbed the bag and discovered there were several guns, and she smiled. "Thank god for you people," she sighed.

While forgetting to make sure the guns contained wooden bullets instead of regular bullets, she grabbed the bag with her and began heading for the building, deciding to try and get a look at what is happening by looking through the fence.

When she approached the fence, she remained hidden before peeking inside. Her eyes squinted a little, trying to see if she saw anybody familiar. Instead, she only saw security guards guarding the front entrance.

"You won't be able to beat them if you're just standing outside of the fence," a voice said very close to her. Sookie quickly flinched at the voice, suddenly being thrown off guard. Her eyes widened in shock, light beginning to form in her right hand as she prepared to shoot a light ball at a potential threat. Her eyes hardened on the person standing before her, but then her eyes began to soften when she realized who the person was.

"G-Godric?" She stuttered in shock. He looked exactly like the way he looked in the photos she found in Eric's files.

He stared at her with a blank look, and Sookie's eyes remained widened. Her arm dropped back to her side, the light forming in her hand disappearing into thin air.

He eyed her slowly up and down. "You're different. What are you?"

"I'm Sookie Stackhouse, Eric's progeny." She said nervously.

Godric's eyes widened a bit. "If that were true, you wouldn't have a hand glowing with light." He presumed.

"I found some files in Eric's stuff. You were on there and he wanted you dead. Why?" She asked, changing the subject.

"He's my progeny." He confirmed.

Sookie's eyes widened, her mind wandering back to the moment Eric once mentioned him to her.

"I fought in a coastal raid one night. Very advanced and skillful on the battlefield. However, I was dying that same night, blood everywhere, but then someone who looked about sixteen years old took some sort of interest in me after watching me fight on the battlefield. He claimed he never saw anyone fight like me. He was different, and he killed my men who fought with me. I assumed he would kill me, so I told him to kill me. But then he brought my attention to something. He asked if I could be a companion of death, if I could walk with him through the world and that he'll teach me new ways of living and that he'll be my father."

"And he wants me dead because I did a terrible thing, a thing I have been regretting for a thousand years." He informed her.

"What did you do?" She asked, curious.

"I prefer for him to tell you that. It's not my place," he said.

Sookie sighed and turned her attention back onto the security guards guarding the entrance of the building, hardening her eyes on them. She remained quiet for a long time before speaking again. "Why are you even here Godric?"

"Despite our differences, he is my child. I will help you save him." Godric eyed the security guards as well.

"How?" She mumbled.

"Just trust me."

A bright smile formed upon Sookie's face as she boldly began to approach the two guards in front of the building. Each guard was dressed in all black, both holding large black submachine guns in their hands. They hardened their eyes on her once she approached them, one of them eyeing her from top to bottom. By the looks of it, it seemed as if he were checking her out.

"Hello boys," she greeted, smiling at the both of them. She left her hand out to give the both of them a handshake. "Sookie Stackhouse,"

"Well aren't you a cutie," the guy that was checking her out grinned, oblivious to what she just said. He had short blonde hair and blue eyes. He shook hands with her.

Once she met flesh to flesh contact with his hand, Sookie's mind immediately brought her to earlier events. She saw images of Eric being thrown into one of the jail cells and being tortured by some sort of IV cord. Quickly, she closed those images out of her head. She smiled at the guard.

"Right back at you," she winked, biting down on her lower lip purposely, and bringing her arm back to her side.

"Isn't that the Joker's bitch?" The guard standing next to the blonde guard sneered. He appeared to have brown hair and brown eyes.

"Huh? What was that?" Sookie asked, lifting her hand up to her ear so could hear the guard again properly. "I should kill you both and escape?" She brought her hand back down to her side and then smiled at the both of them, giggling. "Sorry," she laughed. "The voices," she tapped the side of her head with her index finger, laughing.

The guards stared at her in confusion, raising their eyebrows.

She laughed again. "I'm kidding!" she giggled. "That's not what they really said."

"You do realize the Authority wants you here with your precious Joker." The guard with brown hair said. Sookie eyed their name tags. The one with the brown hair was named Javier and the one with the blonde hair was named Michael.

"Well, obviously I'm here to turn myself in for all the horrible crimes I committed." She purposely frowned. "I miss my puddin', anywhere he goes, I go."

Godric remained hidden near the fence, eyeing Sookie as he watched her execute his plan properly. It only took a couple seconds for the guards to grab her arms and shove her inside the building.

"Hey! No need to be so rough!" She shouted.

Leaning his head on the wall behind him, boredum settling inside his body, Eric sighed. "Wanna hear a joke to kill some time?" He asked Pam from her jail cell further down from his.

Pam was laying down on her bed now, keeping her eyes closed while waiting for a miracle to happen. She was still feeling weak and irritated at everything that was happening around her. "Sure, I need a good laugh." She mumbled, bored.

Eric took a moment to think of a joke. "There are two monkeys on a tree and one jumps off. Why does the other monkey jump too?"

Pam smiled slightly, trying to think of an answer. "They both went bananas." She assumed.

"Nope, monkey see… monkey do!" Eric laughed. "HAHA!"

Pam giggled, opening her eyes and staring at the ceiling.

"So a girl unlocks her boyfriend's phone. She goes through his messenger, his snapchat, his DM's, his Instagram, and his iMessages. He was waking up, so she locked the phone so there wouldn't be any evidence. What did she forget to do?" He smirked.

Pam shook her head and turned her eyes to Eric, grinning. "She forgot to close all the opened apps."

"HAHA!" Eric laughed loudly, but his laughter quickly subsided when he had heard a door opening.

Pam and Eric's head both whipped towards the entrance of the hall door. A serious look both fell on their faces and Eric's eyes widened slightly when he saw that Sookie was there and being put into the jail cell beside him.

"I told you to stop being so freaking rough!" She shouted, feeling her arm beginning to bruise up.

"Sorry princess," The blonde guard named Michael said, now locking her inside of her jail cell.

Sookie just glared at him, now sticking her tongue out.

Michael winked at her before leaving her alone beside Eric.

Eric stared at Sookie in confusion, wondering why she was put into a jail cell when he called for her. With all that great power she has, he knew the jail cell wouldn't be able to hold her.

When the guard disappeared, Eric quickly spoke to her. "What are you doing here?" he demanded.

Sookie sighed, watching as her arm now began to heal itself from the bruise mark that guard left. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and looked at Eric from the jail cell beside hers. "Relax, relax, I have a plan."

"Well this sure as hell better be a good one," Pam said loudly from her jail cell much further from Sookie's. She was now sitting at the edge of her bed, staring at Sookie with a serious look on her face.

"Just be patient," Sookie hissed at Pam, now eyeing Eric.

"What do you have in mind?" Eric wondered.

She smiled at him. "Something's telling me a whole lot of people are about to die," she grinned.

Abruptly, a loud noise occurred from outside of their jail cells. Sounds of heads being ripped, arms, legs, and other body parts being ripped were clear in the air. Sookie continued to grin, knowing what was happening out there. When the noise stopped and the door to the hall opened, Eric's eyes widened slightly at the person that appeared from that door. A wave of anger quickly settled inside of Eric's stomach.

"Godric," he said through gritted teeth, sounding very livid.

A/N: So I have one question for you all... even though nothing too important has been mentioned yet... do you think Godric could possibly be the main reason why Eric became the Joker? (;
