A/N: Sorry this took me so long; I've been swamped with work. I'll be updating my stories all week long so keep an eye out for them. This chapter is in Amelia's point of view.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.

"What are you two doing?" Pam asked as she saw Jason and I heading for the door.

"You're right Pam, we don't have time to think things through but Jason has training with weapons and vampires, and I can take care of myself. You and Jess would get in the way. I'm so sorry." Her face was full of confusion as I turned away from her.

"What?" I ignored her as Jason and I left the house.

Pam tried to follow us but she hit an invisible barrier. She put her hands in front of her and she tried once again to leave the house but couldn't.

"What did you do Amelia?"

"I put a spell on the house so you and Jess couldn't leave. You both would have gotten yourself killed."

"So you instead choose a human to help save my Maker?" Her tone was mocking and her eyes held the rage that I knew was coursing through her.

"I know what I am doing, trust me."

"I've had a bad track record trusting witches; in fact the other time involved Eric as well."

"I'm sorry Pam." I grabbed Jason's hand and the last thing I saw on Pam's face was the hurt that she felt.

When I opened my eyes we were in front of the building that I knew contained Sookie and Eric inside. I could feel the pain in misery radiating off of the building and it truly did scare me.

I grabbed Jason and pulled him around to face me.

"Jason listen to me, this is no joke. This isn't some half-wit training program at a religious camp, this is Russell fucking Edington. He will rip all your inside out just so you can see them before you die and right now he has your sister." His eyes widened and he became serious.

"They've got Sookie, my Sookie." I nodded and he cursed.

"Your life is in great danger and I don't need you getting ahead of yourself. I brought you because you have training with this stuff, plus he has fairies in there and if Jess and Pam got a whiff of them they would have gone crazy." I closed my eyes and thought of the gun for Jason to use and it appeared in my hands.

I handed him the gun that contained iron bullets and folded his hand around it.

"Don't get trigger happy. Go in there and when you see a male and a female who look kind of like goblins shoot them directly in the head or the heart, or both. Do not go after Russell I have him covered. Do not do anything stupid, once I have Russell unchain Sookie and Eric, do you understand me?" He nodded, "Don't make me regret this."

I turned to the door and put my hand son the door to see what was happening inside.

Images flowed through my head, some of Sookie being tortured, her body cold and unmoving as blood pooled around her. The others of Eric crying blood tears and then becoming still and numb as the silver chains burned his skin. He looked broken, defeated, and he looked insane.

Shit, we might be too late.

Screw this I won't go down without a fight.

As Russell burned Eric, Eric made no cry of pain.

"Well this isn't any fun anymore, time for the grand finale." He smiled as he patted Eric's head and walked over to Sookie.

I saw the two fae in the corner fucking each other and it disgusted me, at least Jason would have a clean shot.

I kicked down the door and Russell turned to me and let out a growl.

"Well this just got fun again."

"Not for you." I smiled at him.

Jason walked up behind me and aimed for the fae and shot.

The first shot went clear through the male fae's head and the other wounded the girl.

"You fucking insect." She ran to him but he shot again, cold and stern

"Who's the fucking insect, you mother fucker!" He screamed.

"Well looks like the Stackhouse family has a little flare after all. Too bad no one else will know, you were a fool to come here." Russell advanced on us but I put my hand up and he froze.

"You know for someone who knows all about history should know it always repeats itself. While you were gone we had a little visit from a woman by the name of Antonia Gavilan de Logrono, ring any bells. Well let's just say she was a relative of mine and I inherited some of her powers. She may have been the most powerful witch but I am the second. Lesson one don't fuck with a witch!" I yelled at him before I started my chanting.

I could feel his panic and he was very strong willed, but in the end my will was stronger. He tried fighting against my power but I could start to feel his will slipping into my hands. The power that I felt coursing through me was unexplainable.

I got closer to him and put my hand on his head, "You lose." I whispered to him.

He kneeled before me and bowed his head; this wasn't even close to being over.

"Jason unchain Sookie." I told him and then I turned back to Russell.

"You will unchain Eric and you will feel ever burn that hits your skin." I told him and he followed my orders.

As he unchained Eric, Eric started to growl. I could feel the animal in Eric starting to take over and once Eric was free he pushed Russell to the ground.

"You bastard!" He started to punch Russell into a bloody pulp and each time Eric hit him the wound just healed.

"No!" He screamed as he punched harder and smashed his face and body to the ground in many different ways.

The pure look of madness crept upon his face and there was no sign of the man Sookie fell in love with and if Eric was lost then Russell would win.

He let out a great roar and grabbed a wooden stake that was left on the ground and plunged it into Russell's heart.

His blood flew everywhere and I shielded myself from the debris of it. When I opened my eyes I saw Eric drenched in Russell's blood as he stood there breathing heavily. He looked like a true monster and I needed to get him back to save Sookie before it was too late.

"Eric." When I tried to get closer to him, he attacked me.

He pinned me to the wall and growled in my face. He bent my neck and went in for the bite.

"Stop Eric, it's me." He froze at my neck and I could feel his cool breath against my neck.

"She's still alive Eric, but you need to snap out of it and help her before she dies. Don't let him win, don't lose what Sookie fell in love with." I whispered to him.

He slowly let me go and backed away from me.

Blood dripped from his body and he looked around him slowly starting to come back. He wiped the blood off of his face and looked at his hand.

"Sookie." He whispered as he ran to her and lightly pushed Jason away.

"I didn't feel a pulse." Jason told me as tears fell down his face.

"She's still alive, I can feel her spirit but it is fading away." I stated quickly as I watched Eric give her his blood.

"What did the fucker do to them?"

He could see the broken look on Eric's face and he could see the torture that was placed upon Sookie.

"He broke them."

"Help!" I heard someone yell and the voice was familiar.

"Lafayette?" Jason ran over to where he was hearing a man's voice from and pulled a curtain off of the wall.

Lafayette sat there, chained up, as he tugged at his restraints.

"Jason get me the fuck out of here!" Jason took his gun and shot at the chains.

"What happened?" Jason asked.

"They kept me here to do spells for them and I think they glamoured me." Jason helped him up.

"You were the cloaked witch?"

"I guess where is Tara? She was here with me before." He looked around the room and then they both looked up at me.

"I'm so sorry but she's dead." I mumbled.

"What?" They both said as grief filled their voices.

"Where is her body?" Lafayette asked.

"I buried her for now."

"What else happened?" His voice was full of shock and numbness.

"You helped Russell get Sookie and Eric." I said lowly.

"No, oh God!" He pushed past me but stopped when he saw Eric cradling Sookie.

"Eric, Pam and Jess are waiting at the house. You can go there." I told him.

"No, I can't…. we will go somewhere else." He picked up Sookie and vanished.

I looked around at the carnage around us and shuddered at the thought of all of this. Hopefully this would never happen again, and hopefully Sookie and Eric will find their way back to us.

I went over to Jason and Lafayette and grabbed their hands and thought of the house. When I opened my eyes we were in the lawn outside of the house and Jason and Lafayette walked ahead of me.

I stopped as I saw Pam waiting at the door frame. She let Jason and Lafayette pass but growled as I got closer to her.

"Where is he?" She demanded as I kept my distance from her.

"He's alive, well close to it. He's a little broken but time will heal him and Sookie."

"The fuck it will. I don't give a damn about Sookie but what you did tonight put my Maker in danger."

"Oh screw you; I just saved your Maker's ass. You would have died, they had fae in there and you wouldn't have been able to contain yourself." I glared at her as I got closer to her.

"You don't know that, you don't fucking know me you cunt! You are just a witch I screwed, and now that I think about it I regret even doing that." She scoffed at me.

"Don't you dare say that! You know I was right and everything worked out and this is how you say thank you? You are just a cold bitch and what I thought was all an act I can now see is what time has done to you. You might not age but your soul has grown rotten and that terrifies you." I walked inside the house and walked past her.

She grabbed my arm and pulled me around and toward her as she kissed me hard on the lips. Her rage, passion, and lust were meshing into one as she released me.

"Fuck you." She whispered as she walked away from me.

I stood there and Lafayette slowly came up to me and I sighed.

I led him outside, with words unspoken, and led him to the spot where I buried Tara's body.

I began to chant but he stopped me, "I can't see her like that, too much death surrounds me." He slowly broke down and fell to the ground.

As he sat there crying, I fell to his other side and put my arm around him and leaned into him.

"She didn't deserve this life. She was meant for so much better." He cried.

"Sometimes we weren't meant for this world, and where ever Tara is now I know she has found peace." I told him.

He grew silent and looked around him, "I can't even see her."

"Maybe that's because she moved on."

"I hope so." He got up and I grabbed his hand and we walked back to the house together.

As I looked up at the sky my thoughts went back to Sookie and Eric.

….

Days have gone by and no one has heard from Sookie or Eric. The only comfort we had was that Pam could still feel Eric and I could still track them.

I didn't spy on them because after all they went through they deserved time alone. I could even begin to fathom the thoughts and feelings going through them right now. They were almost killed by a madman, or at least Sookie was almost killed, and Eric was forced to watch. The emotional damage alone could kill someone.

I sat on Sookie's bed and looked around the room and smiled at my work as I tried to forget about the ordeal we faced a couple nights ago.

I had cleaned her room for her return; in fact I cleaned the whole house for her return. It kept me busy and my mind busy.

Jason and Jess had left the night before. Jessica was in a panic because Bill was missing and she couldn't find him and the only person who might have known where he was, was dead now.

Lafayette took up double shifts at Merlottes to keep busy, while Pam ran Fangtasia while Eric was away.

Tonight was the same as the others as I sat there alone in the silence of the house.

Suddenly a gentle tapping rang from the door and as the door slowly opened Eric walked in.

He was still paler than usual and his eyes seemed to have a crimson circle around them. He face still held one of a broken expression but he looked more like himself than he did the other night.

"We need to talk."

"Is she okay." I asked right away.

"Physically yes mentally no." His voice seemed to fade with each word until it became a whisper.

"How so?"

"She won't talk, she just cries. She has nightmares and when she is not screaming or crying she just lays there emotionless. She won't eat and she is afraid to go to sleep. She has said a few words since that night, but not many. It scares me how lost she is." He whispered.

"How was she today?"

"She gets a little better every day but her recovery is slow."

"It will take time." I told him.

He looked across the room and I saw a single red tear fall down his face. All the walls he has built in all of his years were down now and I could see the true man that he was, the one that truly loved Sookie, the one that Sookie truly loved.

"It is my fault this happened to her. If I lost her that night I fear that I might have turned into Russell. I came here to say thank you to you and Jason. I am forever grateful to you both."

"Don't mention it; maybe if you brought her here she could heal better?"

"No, she is too fragile. I only left now because she is asleep and I can feel her calm through the bond. I must go." He turned to leave.

"She will get better."

"I will spend the rest of my days making sure that happens." And with that he vanished.

When I was sure he was gone I let the tears that I was holding back fall freely down my face.

As I looked around the room I broke down even more and fell to the ground and started to cry harder.

I couldn't be strong anymore, not with everything that has happened.

I remembered my spell book on the nightstand and I got up and grabbed it. Maybe I could help Sookie after all.

"That's not a good idea." I gasped as I turned to see Lafayette standing there.

"What's the point of having all this power that can kill someone and we can't even use it to heal someone?" I cried to him.

"Because the type of wounds that Sook has are wounds that can't be fixed with magic but with time and time alone." I dropped the book as Lafayette came up to me and held me.

"I'm scared for her." I muttered to him through my sobs.

"Me too."
