I felt completely drained as I laid in the flat beds of grass in front of the fairy bar. Like every inch of happiness that I had ever had in me, every bit of light that I had in my body, all that was good, was just sucked out of me with such force that it hurt. I was tired to the point where I could barely open my eyes without having to fight to keep them like that. It hurt to breath, to move, to feel myself healing hurt to the thought of it. It was like someone had set my insides on fire and just let it to burn out for itself. I do not know what the hell why were doing above me, or why they were even going together on this, but while Claude and one of his sisters was doing on thing on me, but with one touch to my torso and I let out a scream that I could not keep in. It was like they has just place a hot iron on my body and just left it there to simmer in. I tried to fight, bite, anything that I could to get it off of me, but it just stayed right above my bellybutton.
" What in the hell are you doing to her?" I could hear Eric hissing.
" Trying to restore her light, keep her down will you?" Claude demanded.
" Her fangs! She is going to bite me!" I girl voice yelped.
" You will protect my sister or you will have a lot more to worry about than her biting you." Eric hissed as he placed an arm on my throat. " Sister, you must stay calm, please, they are not trying to hurt you. Please, oh do not try like that. It will all be over soon, I promise." Eric begged.
But it felt like a century had passed already. The flame which just started out as a small little kindle had now ignited into a flame that was burning from one end of my body to the other. I tried as hard as I could not to kick and scream and push all of them off of me, but Eric was so firm and trying to hard to be calming that I knew that he was trying to be helpful. The the pain was flaming all around, it felt like so long as passed when finally the flame burnt doing to nothing more than a warm feeling on the inside of my body. It was like everything was easing away, all of the stress that had once been in my body, all of the worries in my head, all of the pain from the death, all of it was gone from that moment on. All I could do was close my eyes and give a very faint smile.
" Sister, Sygin!" Eric screamed as he shook my body.
" She is fine." Claude said and I could hear Eric smacking him away.
" No she is not, clearly she is not fine, she looks just as dead as she ever has before! Now I thought that you said that you were going to put her light back into her!" Eric hissed.
" And we have, now we just have to wait." Claude said lightly.
" Wait for what then? A sign from God? Because you know what, I am done with all gods." Eric hissed.
" You and me both." I whispered lightly as I held onto Eric arms, so strong and full of power.
" Wait for that." I could almost hear the smirk from Claude's soft voice.
All it seemed like I could do was smile, I felt like I was in heaven but here on earth. It was an odd sensation, to be able to look up and see my father and my brother who were related in no way whatsoever, looking down at me and smiling. So happy and so full of life in the moment that there was nothing wrong, nothing in the world that would be able to make me stop smiling. Everything just seemed right, everything felt right. There were no worries about what was going on, about who was trying to kill who, it just seemed like all I could do was smile and let the world take over. I think that somewhere deep down that I knew that it was the light from within working it's magic, that all of this was like a drug in a way, but I did not care in the least, I was just plain happy. But that soon faded back into the real world as I could see the sun was starting the rise.
" How long had I been out for?" I asked as I finally sat up, it felt like my muscles had not been moved from one position in a thousand years.
" A pretty long time." Eric said with a smile as he wrapped his arm around my body. " We should be getting home pretty soon, the sun is coming up."
" Very true." I smiled as I looked over to Claude. " Thank you. . . for everything."
He moved in and gave me a long kiss on the forehead and something in that moment happened that felt like the oddest thing that had ever happened before in my life; memories, all of them from his mind to mine came flooding through like a gateway had been opened. From before the time that I had been born, from when he was just an infant to just moments ago, all of them were right in front of me for the taking. I knew each and every one of them, knew what they meant and had no worries about anything to do with them. I knew it all. I knew all of his sisters names, when there were born, and which order they went in from age to the way that they spell their names. Whatever he had just done made it so that we were closer than blood, we were one whole person once again. There was no way to be able to explain what I was feeling, but I knew that Claude was having the same feelings that I was having, every emotion, he had felt at one moment or anything. It was like a wave just hut me hard.
From the look on his face though, he had gained all of mind as well. From that I shuddered into the ground a little more, him knowing everything that I know, everything that I had done in the past he knew it all. Looking back at that moment, I was ashamed of everything – everyone – I had killed, drank, everything that I had done in the past I felt horrible for. He knew it all from the moment that his lips as pressed onto my forehead. He knew it all.
" Did you just give her your light?" Claudia asked, who I now knew her age an that she was the youngest of the all of Claude's siblings.
" Only some of it." Claude said lightly as he helped me up. " It should last until you are back to full health once again. I am truly sorry for aiming at your brother like that, we do not take too kindly to a vampire taking one or our own away from us." Claude said with a faint smile as he grabbed onto my hand. " I hope that we shall be seeing from you again very soon, Sygin, I want to spend as much time as I can with you and get to know you like I should have before."
" Oh, you will be seeing from me again very soon. But when I start screaming in this field, you better let me in there. Or I will find a way in there and then you will have one really pissed off vampire on your hands." I winked at him as he kissed my hand and allowed me to walk off with Eric.
" I think that I have had enough from Wonderland for a long time." Eric laughed as we took off for Fangtasia.
There was something wrong in the world that we were living in. No to say that there was not something normally wrong, but now it has just gotten worse over the last few weeks. Two shifters were killed in the next town over by the Obama's and Sam Merlotte and one of his shifter friends were shot down too. These people were not just going after vampires anymore, they knew that there was something else out there and they wanted to kill every weird thing that was on this planet. Sam had always been kind to me and always had welcomed me into his bar when I was with Sookie, so I would never be able to understand why someone would want to kill him! Let alone also go after a little girl who was there as well!
No one has seen or heard from King Bill in over a week now and we are all starting to get a little worried that something may have happened to him as well; not to say that it may have been the Obama's, but that maybe we should not have just come home right after we escaped from the Authority! I cannot say that I am too worried over the fact that Bill is missing, but more like the fact that Louisiana is being ruled right now by a little baby vampire makes me really fucking concerned. I cannot say that she has done anything bad while being in command yet, but then again she has not done anything at all! From what we know, all she has been doing is partying and nothing to keep us as a vampire community safe! No word from Bill, nothing at all! And while all of this is going on, there is a bunch of humans that are out to kill all of us!
I know that Eric would never be able to show that he was afraid, that he was scared of anything, his warrior side would never allow for something of that stature to be able to shine through. But there were little things where you would be able to see that he was getting pretty nervous about what was going on. He would call and see if Bill had shown up yet, almost hourly in the last few days. He made sure that if someone was going to come into the bar that they came in before Pam was even allow to ID them because he did not want a vampire to be standing out there alone. I was to sit right next to him thrown to thrown while the bar was opened and people would be out hunting on the outside. And Pam's little baby vampire was to keep in sight or be with Pam at all times. There were no exceptions with her.
" I'm going to grab a bite to eat, I'll be downstairs if you need me." I said with a faint smile as walked away from the bar and walked up the the freshest piece of meat that I could find in the whole joint.
Usually I would be going for the bar and allowing others to come to me. And at first, that is what I went for as well. Someone that was just catching me for what I usually loved in a human was just walking up the the bar small and petite, scared and her hormones being able to show it, strapped in leather, and AB-. My favorite and she looked like she may be a fang-banger, it looked like she may have a few scars hidden below the low-cut line of her shirt. It was something that was peaking my interesting with every inch that I got closer and closer to the girl. She was almost making my mouth water as I moved closer, but then something caught me off guard. Something that was not due to my hunger whatsoever, someone else's thoughts threw me for a ride, it came from the other side of the room by some hick who looked like he belonged at a race car event.
" I'm going to kill every single one of these fangers in this joint on fucking bullet at a time." I could hear him say as I walked up to him and smile.
" Hi there! What is your name?" I said with a smile as I wrapped my arm around him, knowing that he would have no idea that I was truly a vampire, body heat or not, when the light was right I looked like a pure human and this was one of those nights.
" Rory." He said with a faint smile as he looked around. " What in the hell are you doing in one of these places here girl, you don't look like you can be old 'nough to even have a drink."
" Oh honey, you would be surprised, but really I am truly flattered." I smiled as I looked around. " Well then, what are you doing in a place like this?" I smiled as I let my finger draw a line down his white shirt down to his belly button.
" I guess that you could say that I have an interest for vampires." Rory said with a scowl.
" What in the hell is she doing with that guy. I mean he does not look like he would be her type whatsoever, she usually goes for the girls in leather." Pam whispered to Eric.
" I do not know, but she looks like she has a plan going on through her head though." Eric said in a tone that I could hear was proud in a way.
" Really? I have no interest in these fang fuckers, I'm here to try and find my kid brother and get the hell out of here, but I mean I just cannot find him anywhere!" I whispered into his ear. " I'm real worried that he may be downstairs with one of those fangers that works here, I mean that creepy blond one over there just let me go cause I said that I had to go to the little girls room. Would you please help me find my kid brother, I am the only one that he has left and I-"
" Sure thing, you do not have to explain to me. So, you think that he's downstairs right, we may have a little trouble getting down there." The man whispered as he pulled me in closer to his frame.
" That you so much, is there anything that I can do to make all of this up to you when all this is over." I asked giving my best damsel in distress vibes going off
" I can think of a few things that you may be able to do for me when the night is over with." He said as he pressed his body in close to mine.
" Alrighty then, stick close to me and make sure that you act natural. I know the bartender, she is trying to help me find him." I said as I passed Ginger I nodded and she just smiled her little crazy smile. I could hear that she was just happy that it wold not be her getting eaten on tonight.
As the door shut behind him and we walked all of the way down the stairs, all I could do was try and hide my smile as I walked all thee way around the whole basement, knowing every inch of it by heart calling out the most random name that I could think of. I knew that the human could not see a damn thing in here, would not be able to see the chains that we keep right in the middle of the whole place. So when he finally got to it all I could do was laugh so hard that I nearly fell to the ground as I locked him in by the neck to one of the chains. His screams would not make it upstairs because they were muffled by music. No one would be able to hear him that was not human.
" Now," I said as my fangs came out and I got up really close so that even he would be able to see them. " you are going to tell me every little detail about these people that you are working with and why in the fuck you all are trying to kill not only vampires but shifters too. Because you know what? Sam is my friend, you fuck." I spat as I smacked him as hard as I could.
" You- you fucking freak! What the fuck are you?" He screamed as the pain must have subsided.
" Something that could have only come out of your nightmares buddy because you know what? By the end of this night, with my and my brother working on you, you are going to wish that you would have never came into this bar to kill us. Hell, you are going to wish that you wold have never even known that we vampires exist either." I said with a laugh as I climbed up the stairs and gave a waging finger towards Eric's thrown.
" What?" He hissed as he slammed the door shut behind him and started to walk down the stairs as fast as he could. " Did you drink too much from him, did you find that he had a camera on him?" Eric questioned as fast as he could.
" No, no, my dear brother. I have simply brought you a gift that I believe that you will simply. . . love." I smiled as he walked down the stairs to see the human that was chained in front of him.
" What the fuck is this?" Eric hissed while his fanged popped out, the human, though ugly and a pure redneck, was Eric's favorite blood type.
" An Obama." I said with a smile as I let my fangs be shown to him. " And I thought that I would let you have the first bite before you got to. . . getting to know your meal."
" Oh, thank you sister." Eric said as he lunged at the human.
