Pam left me to find a book; she was off by a window on the phone talking in another language. I grabbed a book that looked interesting and sat down on the couch, pulling my feet under me and opening the first page.
I was on the fourth chapter when Pam walked back over to where I was, she looked annoyed, and in pain. No matter how hard she tried to hide it I could see the pain in her face. The poor thing.
"Stop doing that." She hissed, not even looking at me.
"Doing what?"
"Feeling bad for me." She turned to watch me, her eyes narrowing, "it's annoying."
"Sorry. What happened to the bar?" I asked.
"It's trashed, along with my house. They're tearing it down, I will need a new house." She sighed dropping her head down in her hands. Well now I felt really bad.
"You can stay with me, when we go back."
"Thank you, I will keep this in mind." She replied softly, "for now we have to go check on the queen and Catalina."
I closed my eyes briefly, wishing I could feel Eric through the bond, "Is he still alive, Pam?" I whispered, "I can't feel him."
"He closed off the connection to us so we do not feel his pain. Come on." She stood up and walked out, I followed behind her, setting the book down on the arm of the couch, "I will know if he does, bond closed or not. Do not worry."
That calmed a lot, and we walked downstairs where Sophie-Ann and Catalina were now, they were arguing about something.
"Look! We have to go find him, he is valuable! And unless you want me going to Nan and the authority I suggest you offer us some help you unbearable heartless bitch!" Catalina yelled loud enough that it was a wonder I had not heard it upstairs.
Sophie-Ann looked insulted, and suddenly she was pinned against the wall by Catalina, "Do not try to hit me stupid idiot." Sophie-Ann clawed at Catalina's hand, Waldo, Rasul and Chester pulled the blonde back and she stumbled into the pool with a huge splash.
When she jumped back out quickly, completely dry, and the vampires all shook with fear, "Fuck you Sophie-Ann, I gave you a chance." Her phone was out and at her ear in the next second, "Nan, it seems that the Queen of Ireland has kidnapped the Sheriff of Area 5."
Pam watched with interest, I noticed the vampires getting even more scared, "Of course Nan, we'll be here waiting. Guards." Her guards rushed forward and grabbed the vampires; they came toward Pam and me.
"We aren't running anywhere Catalina, do not punish the human more then necessary."
"Of course not." Catalina waved them off; I wondered what connection she had to Eric that she cared so much. Maybe they were once lovers? Jealousy shot through me, and I stopped thinking about it. We were moved to chairs to sit; Pam picked up cards and shuffled them.
"Would you like to play?" I shook my head no, so she set up a game of solitaire for herself and began to play. I wondered where the guards had taken the others, but found I didn't really care, I felt safer with them out of the room. The only vampire left was Pam, and whatever Catalina was.
"Nan should be here soon." Catalina sighed, "I really wish I didn't have to do that. It's such a bother to deal with that woman." She dropped down in a chair next to me, closing her eyes briefly.
"Nan who?" I inquired.
"Nan Flanagan." She replied.
"The TV vampire chick?"
"Yeah, that's her." Catalina replied, "She's a real bitch."
"She seems so nice." I replied.
"Ah she's just like the rest of us, she seems all smiles and Tru Blood, but she's got her own personal little chew toy, she's killed humans, and she honestly hates Americans. She might be a bitch, just ignore her." Catalina shrugged, and turned to Pam, "and you be nice to her. I know you two don't…get along."
"Get along? The woman tried to kill me." Pam replied, "And threatened to take my fangs. It's not my fault she can't keep her human in line. The woman was yummy."
"Pam." Catalina replied.
"I'll behave." She growled under her breath, "as long as she doesn't try to kill me."
"Yeah yeah." Catalina replied with a roll of her eyes, she pulled her long blonde locks up into a pony tail and I could see a small star near the back of her neck.
"Do you have a tattoo?" she nodded, "I thought vampires would heal if they got a tattoo."
"They do." Pam supplied.
"I'm not a vampire." Catalina explained, "I'm….something entirely different."
"But you have fangs."
"I'm a vampire…but like I said different." She sighed, "I will explain later, this isn't a good time, being in Sophie-Ann's home and such."
A door opened and men that were a step away from looking like Darth Vader swarmed in, followed by Nan, who looked much older and meaner in person. Pam growled deep in her throat, Catalina reached over and slapped her in the back of the head hard enough to jerk it forward.
"Nan." Catalina said in greeting, her voice taking a fake-happy-Queen like tone.
"Catalina." Nan greeted Catalina in the same tone before her voice turned dark, "You." This was directed at Pam, "Why is there a human here?"
"That doesn't matter, Eric Northman is missing, and Sophie-Ann has done nothing about it. I would like permission to go after them." Catalina said pulling the attention back to her.
"You will have to speak to the authority."
"Then set it up." Catalina replied, I hate having to do this the vampire's way. I almost jumped when I heard Catalina's thoughts. Sorry. She apologized as she stood and followed Nan into another room.
The Darth Vader wanna-be's split in half, and I suddenly felt like fleeing, although I'd probably be shot if that were to happen. Pam reset her game and began playing again, I slipped my phone out of my pocket, it was somehow still alive, and I had a lot of messages. I looked at all the names and sent a group message.
I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll call when I get a chance. Work. Sorry. I shut it off and slipped it back into my pocket.
"I wish I had that book." I sighed.
"I'll go get it for you." Pam replied, jumping up from her seat, she grabbed a guard and pulled him away with her, they returned quickly, Pam handed me my book and we both sat in silence.
I don't know how much later Catalina and Nan came back out, Nan looking annoyed and Catalina looking quite proud.
"You get to go play savior this time Catalina, but don't expect this kind of treatment all of the time."
"Please, if Pam wasn't here I'd do it my fucking self, I don't answer to you or the authority Nan, watch it." Catalina warned with a hissed, "Pam grab your belongings, you too Sookie."
I followed Pam out of the room, taking the long way around the pool to avoid Nan and the Darth's. I watched her pack up, and then she pulled me down to Hadley's room. She made me wait outside, and she came back out with a suit case, went back to her room and then came back, "Okay let's go."
"You don't pack light." I commented.
"I might be sleeping in the ground, I doubt it will be naked, so I'll need clothes, and besides you sweat, and other human things, you'll need to change as well, correct?" I nodded, and she handed me one of the suit cases, "let's go then."
We got into an F350, I was stuck in the back with the suit cases, and Catalina was driving. Greenville, Alabama. Why had the queen assumed it was Alabama and not Mississippi?
"The quickest way will be to go to Gulfport and the Mobil. And just head up there, as fast as possible." Catalina was telling Pam as she drove. I think she was driving faster then most vampires, I was glad I was in the back.
I really hoped Eric was okay, it was unnerving that I could no longer feel him at all. When he first cut it off I could feel him, a little but now I couldn't feel a thing. I slumped back in my seat and opened the book, using a small book light Catalina had in the truck to read it.
The book was called Forbidden Nights with a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks. It was part of a series, but thankfully the books didn't really seem to need an order because I didn't see the others anywhere else.
I felt the car slow to a stop, "We have to switch spots after we get you and Catalina some food." Pam informed me as she pulled up the back door. I slid out and followed them inside.
We got lunch meat, bread, condiments and such as well as some chips, a 24 pack of water and two cases of Amp, Catalina admitted she had an addiction, as well as a box of Twinkies, which none of us owned up to adding to the cart. It wasn't me, but Pam looked as guilty as Catalina at how they got there.
I also added a few banana's some apples, and plastic cupped peaches. After grabbing anything else we might need, we were heading toward the register when Catalina stopped, "Sookie you might need…" she trailed off as she and Pam looked toward the woman's isle.
"Right." I said, and turned to head down the isle. Both woman just stood there watching me, I felt the blush rise to my cheeks at both of them watching me, "would you two quit!" I snapped tossing the items into the cart.
The muttered apologies, Catalina's sounded sincere, Pam's on the other hand was full of amusement. Vampires.
We got back into the car, Pam climbed into the back seat with a blanket, and we poured ice into a cooler, cranked the AC up, and pulled on sweaters. It was summer after all so it was going to be pretty hot anyways. The sun rose 15 minutes later, and Pam was wrapped up on the floor, dead to the world.
"So Sookie, do you have any family?" Catalina asked, trying to fill the silence.
"I have a brother Jason, and Hadley, the queens-." What did I call her? Her pet? "person is my cousin. That is the only family I know of. My parents died in a flashflood…and my Gran." I felt the tears come to my eyes and stopped talking.
"I did not mean to upset you, I am sorry." Catalina said, casting a sideways glance at me.
"It's alright, so now can you answer me. What are you?"
"I am a demigoddess."
"W-what?"
"A Demi-goddess, a half-god half human." She explained.
"I know that but-huh?" I asked again stupidly. She shook her head, clearly amused.
"My mother was a Demi-goddess herself; she was the child of Ares. She was found by Erebus and they had me." She explained, "You know who Ares and Erebus are right?"
"Ares is the god of war." I filled in, "and Erebus was-actually I never learned about him." I replied. In 7th grade we had to learn about Greek mythology, but it never went that in-depth I guess.
"Erebus was the son of Chaos and Gaia, the goddess of the Earth. Erebus is darkness, his sister and wife Nyx is the Goddess of the Night. I have more God in me then human, because of whom my grandfather is, but I was also made into a vampire long ago. But I'm not the normal vampire. The change didn't quite take."
"How is it you know Eric?" I asked, nervously. She glanced down at the clock, back at Pam, and then sighed.
"I am Eric's half sister." Well thank god.
"If you're a Demi-goddess would that mean I could search for you online or in books and find you?" I changed the subject not sure what to say to that.
"The gods have many offspring. There were many Demi-gods, but very few ever showed powers, abilities, or god like qualities. I was also kept off of the books because of my vampiric abilities."
"Does Eric know you are related to him?"
She looked over at me, pulling to a stop, "do we look like we're related?" I looked at her, she was a porcelain doll, with a soft face and purple-ish eyes, her hair was lighter and finer then Eric's, but the way she carried herself and the blue-y hint to her eyes, and her mouth. It reminded me of Eric.
"Yes. It's not apparent. So you two have the same mother?"
She smiled, "yes. His father was human."
"Does he know about your mom having another child? Did his family?"
"Nobody knew about me, except for my mother. I was raised in Olympus and the Underworld." I fell silent for a moment taking all of this in.
"Is that why you watched over Eric? And why you were so annoyed at the Queen's actions, and Nan?"
"Yes. I hate that because Pam is involved I have to follow their rules. It's stupid, because I am so used to getting whatever I want."
"Do the vampires know about you?"
She smiled, "The important ones, and most of them are scared of me. As you saw of Sophie-Ann. Nan is too confident to show she is scared of me, but you saw how quickly she showed up and how quickly I got permission to go save their best vampire."
"Do you know why the Queen of Ireland wants him?"
"Of course. He is powerful, and would be a great asset to have. Much like you, Eric is something valuable, and losing him would be very bad." She answered, "Can you hand me an apple?"
I nodded and reached into the back grabbing the apple bag, I handed her one and got on for myself. "Where are we at?"
"Near Biloxi." She replied, "We should be in Alabama soon."
"Why did Sophie-Ann quickly count out Mississippi?"
"She counted it out because the King of Mississippi and the Queen of Ireland do not get along. At all."
"Oh." I whispered taking a bite out of my apple, we fell silent again.
