Chapter 11 :

I felt Sookie's arms all around me and I could finally see her face. She was so worried for me and I could understand why. I wasn't feeling my legs anymore, in fact the only thing I felt was an awful pain. I knew I was going to die, I could feel it. Why did I even come here ? Why was my stupid power so useless ? If it had worked, I could have fought against that creature, I could have tried to hurt her and make her leave but that wasn't supposed to happen… Instead, here I was, dying probably.

Why me ?

" Sookie, are you okay ? " I heard Bill say as he came next to us. I couldn't see him but I could feel his eyes on me.

He was probably overjoyed to see me like that, after all he wanted to get rid of me and now that was going to happen.

I didn't deserve that, I had done nothing wrong. I didn't want to die.

" I'm fine but Alyssa, she… I don't know what happened. " Sookie said and I could tell that she was on the verge of tears. Was she really going to cry because of me ?

Bill knelt next to us and he made me look at him. " Who attacked you, Alyssa ? "

" I don't know, it was a monster with horns. " I managed to say as much as it hurt me. " I can't feel anything.. I'm dying. "

I had run away from Godric to get here after being chased, I had killed a vampire with my fire, I had made a deal with Eric Northman and that was how everything was going to end ? This wasn't fair. What about my family ? How would they deal with my death ? They would be heartbroken and that was only because I had been stupid enough to leave the only person who could protect me. Maybe after all I deserved what was happening to him, maybe that was some kind of wicked punishment for my own stupidity.

" Bill we have to do something, we can't let her die ! " Sookie said and pleaded Bill with her eyes. There was no way they could do something. I was pretty sure that there was no cure for what I was experiencing.

" I don't know what we can do Sookie. "

My hands started to tremble and I didn't know what was happening to me. The pain was getting worse as the minutes passed. At least, if I was going to die I wanted it to be quick and not that terrible but right now, it was extremely painful and something told me that it wasn't going to be quick.

" Your blood, Bill. Give her your blood, you saved me the night I was attacked with your blood. You can save her now. "

Oh no, please not Bill's blood. I would rather die than drink his blood and be attracted to him or have sexual dreams about him.. Well, that wasn't true, I wanted to live, I desperately wanted to live.

" Sookie, you know the effects of vampire blood. Do you really want her to- "

" - I want her to heal and to be alive. And after all Bill, you're the only one responsible for this mess. She left the car because of you ! You have to save her. " Sookie interrupted Bill and at least she wasn't completely blind.

Yes, Bill was the only one to blame for what was happening to me. I had left the car because of his attitude. I could die because of him, because of a stupid vampire and a stupid monster. That was just so pathetic when I thought about it.

" Alright. " Bill said I watched him bite in his wrist.

I could have never imagined drinking vampire blood, especially Bill's blood. In my craziest dreams, I had always thought that I would drink Godric's blood if I had to but it seemed that I had been wrong. And now, my first time tasting vampire blood was going to be completely awful. How could I deal with being attracted to Bill ? I disliked him, truly plus he was Sookie's boyfriend, that was just awkward. And those sexual dream, that would be awful… However, it was the only way to heal, I wasn't going to refuse the only way to live.

Bill brought his wrist to my mouth and when the first drop of his blood hit my tongue, it wasn't that great. I had always heard that vampire blood was like a drug, that it was the most delicious thing in the entire world, but it wasn't. Everything was a lie because the only thing his blood did was hurting me even more and this time it was worst than before.

The pain was unbearable and I couldn't even control my body anymore. I didn't know what was happening to me but I heard Sookie's screams of fear. The only thing I wanted was the end of this pain, even if that meant dying. It was too painful.

" Bill, what's happening ? Why doesn't your blood work ? " Sookie asked, panicked and she tightened the grip on my body.

" I don't know. We should bring her to Fangtasia, maybe Eric will know what to do. " Bill said and I felt him closer to me and before I even had the time to realize it, I was in his arms. He was carrying me towards the car. He finally dropped me gently on backseat and Sookie went next to me.

I closed my eyes as if my hurt was going to fade thanks to that, but it wasn't. It was still the same. How long could I live with that terrible feeling ?

" Alyssa, don't close your eyes. " Sookie said and she gently shook me. " I need to keep you awake, I can't let you die, so keep your eyes open for me okay ? "

I nodded and waited for us to arrive at Fangtasia. I didn't know how far from the bar we were but it was the longest minutes of my all life. My eyes were fixed on Sookie who looked terrible. She was crying and those tears were for me. I would smile at her kindness if I just could.

Finally the car came to a stop and I was in Bill's arms again. He was screaming at Jessica, ordering her to go back home while Sookie was barging in Fangtasia and we soon followed her.

" Eric, we need your help ! " Sookie screamed and I faintly saw Eric coming out from his office. He was annoyed, I could see him and I so desperately wanted to laugh at his face. If only I could once again.

" What the hell happened ? " Eric asked when our eyes met. He was scanning me and his fangs immediately extended when he saw the blood on my back and on Sookie and probably smelled it too.

" She's been attacked, and Bill's blood is not working. You have to help her, you're the only one who can do something. "

I remembered what Eric said the other time, I didn't have to fear for my life because I was under his protection.. His protection, well it was time to save my life and protect me I think. If only he could save me. Of course, he couldn't use his blood because it wasn't going to work but maybe since he was very old he knew how to save me. I could only hope, in fact Eric was my one and only hope.

" I'll call a doctor, lay her down. " Eric said and in a flash he had left.

Bill slowly laid me down on something, it was soft. Sookie knelt next to me and held my hand. " You're going to be okay, Eric will save you. "

If only I could be sure about that but for now, the only thing I was sure about was how hard it was for me to keep my eyes open. I just wanted to sleep, but I was afraid to close my eyes. What if I never opened them again ?

I needed to be positive because thinking about my death wasn't going to help me right ?

" The doctor's coming. " Eric's voice caught my attention and I managed to look at him. He tapped Sookie's shoulders and she had to let go of my hand and leave my side while Eric took her place.

Being hurt made him very nice with me, that was rather great, even if I didn't plan to be hurt around him.

" You cut your hair. " I whispered and realized immediately how stupid I was. That was the only thing I had to say while I was dying, very nice Alyssa…

" Indeed. What happened to you ? Who did this to you, Alyssa ? " He asked and his gentle tone was surprising, just like the way he acted. One of his hands was stroking my cheek as if he cared about me. He was only afraid to lose my power but he cared about me in a way. Plus, he had called a doctor to save me..

" A creature with horns and claws was running behind me and then… " I winced at the pain when I felt Eric's other hand on my back, touching the scratches.

Why was he doing this ? Was he trying to torture me ? Because that was awfully painful.

" Eric, you're hurting her. Don't touch her. " Sookie said and came next to Eric. " Get away from her. " She ordered and strangely Eric stood up.

" How did it happen ? " He asked and his eyes went between Sookie and Bill.

" We had a little fight in the car, she left it, ended up in the woods alone and got attacked. " Bill calmly said and that was when I lost consciousness.


I screamed and screamed again as some kind of weird doctor put something on my back and started to touch the scratches with her fingers, as if she was searching for something. It was incredibly painful and I wished I had just died because I couldn't deal with that pain.

Then I had to and I had no other choice because Sookie was pressing my arms against the sofa or whatever it was called. I couldn't move, I could only scream and cry.

Why did it happen to me ?

I must be cursed. I must have done something bad in other life to be hated. No one deserved that kind of pain.

Was that doctor really trying to save me after all ? Because I only felt a burning sensation on my back as if she was trying to literally burn my skin. This just needed to stop.

" Are you sure this is going to work ? " I heard Sookie's voice.

" Yes. " This crazy doctor answered as she continued to torture me with her fingers.

" Oh no… " Sookie suddenly whispered and I could just wonder what was happening. No, I didn't have to wonder, I knew exactly what was happening and this was so not the time for something like this .

My back wasn't the only part of my body which was burning, my hands were starting to burn too. Why now ? Why was my power appearing now ? I needed it when the creature attacked me but not now. Now, someone was trying to heal me, Sookie was holding me down to prevent me from moving, I just didn't need to have fire coming out of my hands. I was going to hurt Sookie, I was going to hurt everyone here.

" Alyssa, you need to calm down. We're not here to hurt you. " Sookie said and I knew it but I couldn't control anything right now.

My body wasn't mine anymore, it was like someone controlled it.. Maybe it was that poison running through my veins.

" Let me replace you, Sookie. "

It was Eric and soon I felt his cold hands on my shoulder and soon his hands were holding my owns. A great coolness rushed through my entire body thanks to his vampire temperature. And I was slowly starting to feel the burning sensation in my hands disappearing as if his touch was really working, as if he was controlling it with his coldness. Perhaps he was because it was definitely working. It had never happened, no one had ever done this but then no one had ever tried, not even Godric. It was even the first time that Eric took my hands when the fire was coming he had never done it when I was at Fangtasia the other nights. How did he know what to do ? How did he know it was going to work ?

" How did you know it was going to work ? " Sookie asked coldly and her hands replaced Eric's ones very quickly as if she didn't want him to touch me. He has just saved you Sookie, you should thank him instead of being such a bitch towards him, I thought.

I got it, she hated Eric but even when he was nice with someone, she had to be cold towards him. I wasn't very fond of him either but when someone was acting nicely, it was only fair to be kind towards this person wasn't it ? This was just being polite.

" I did not, it was just a theory. " Eric answered calmly and I could now see him standing behind the small doctor.

He was staring at me, his fangs were extended and he kept licking his lips. Oh that was just so gross and he looked like a pervert right now. Of course I was bleeding but he could at least control himself, it wasn't like I was dying and suffering like hell… Everything was just fine. I thought ironically.

" Are you going to finish soon ? " Sookie asked but I didn't really pay attention.

My eyes were on Eric and looking at him distracted me from the pain. His stare was cold but at the same time it was like he wanted to eat me alive. I guess he probably did.

" It's done. We just need to clean her back, do it. "

So it was over.. Yes I could feel it, there was no more this burning feeling, there was just an acceptable pain and when I felt something touching my back, I didn't screamed. I just moaned in pain but it was okay. I wasn't going to die, great that was great…

" Vampire blood will heal her. You can give it to her. Her body should accept it."

Oh no, no vampire blood please. I wasn't dying anymore, I could deal with the physical pain for a while if that meant not drinking vampire blood, I didn't even care about scars. I didn't want to dream about Bill.

" No… No blood. " I whispered and the doctor glanced at me, or I would rather say that she shot me a death glare. Weren't doctors supposed to be nice and loving person ?

" If you don't take blood, you'll die. I might have removed the poison from your body but it's not enough and even if you survived this, you'll be never able to walk again. It's your choice. "

Choice ? I had no choice, I had to drink Bill's blood… Well, at least I was alive and I could walk again. I shouldn't be so pessimist after all.

"Bill, please give her your blood. " Sookie said and I heard a sigh. For once, Bill and I agreed on something.

I watched Bill as he came closer and knelt in front of me. I could see it in his eyes that he didn't want to do this, if only he knew how much I hated that idea too. Just when he was about to bite in his wrist, Eric caught his hand.

Oh no, did Eric want me to die ? Why was he stopping Bill ? As much as I didn't want to drink Bill's blood, I wanted to live. I was still young after all.

" What the fuck do you think you're doing Eric ? " Sookie screamed and I could now see her too. She looked so furious and I would even say that she was ready to punch Eric. That would be very funny to see. I even found myself wishing that was what she would do right now.

" Bill's not giving her his blood. "

" What ? Hell he's giving her his blood, she needs blood. And who do you think you are Eric ? You can't stop Bill ! "

And that was when a smirk appeared on Eric's face. What did he have in his mind this time ? Something told me that I wasn't going to like his answer but it wasn't like I could do something right ? I just laid here, completely drained, in pain with a sudden desire to close my eyes and drift into a very long and peaceful slumber.

" Oh but that's where you are wrong, Sookie. Bill is not allowed to give her his blood because Alyssa is mine. "

What ? Were my ears playing tricks on my mind or did Eric just say that I was his ? Oh please, no… Why me ? Why did it have to happen to me ? What have I done to deserve that ? Of course, people would probably kill to belong to Eric Northman but I wasn't one of those person, I was only starting to tolerate Eric and now I was his. It was just awful, and I thought it couldn't get worst. I guess that I was once again wrong.

" If there's only one person who gave give her blood, it's me. " Eric added.

Okay, kill me now because that's too much for me. I swore I would never drink vampire blood, I swore I would never drink his blood and yet, what was going to happen ? I was going to drink his blood if I wanted to live and to walk again. Eric was surely feeling very proud of the trap he had set for me because honestly, that was a trap. Of course, he had saved me when he had called that doctor but me being hurt was probably making him overjoyed because it gave him a reason to give me his blood, to force me to drink his blood.

" Asshole ! I will never let you give her your blood. You're only doing this to track her down and have a bond with her. This is so fucking disgusting Eric, you take advantage of the situation, how can you do this ? "

Why was she even trying to argue with him ? It was utterly pointless. Of course, Eric took advantage of the situation, he was a vampire… And he was not like « holy » Bill, as I was going to call him.

" Stop me and she dies. Do you really want her to die Sookie ? " Eric asked, amusement in his voice.

" I fucking hate you Eric ! " Sookie snapped at him. " I'm sorry Alyssa. " She added, glancing at me.

It wasn't her fault, at least I wasn't going to have sexual dreams about her boyfriend. And to be honest, having those kind of dreams with Eric instead of Bill was much better. I wasn't really attracted to Bill while I found Eric rather handsome.

Oh no, please tell me that I wasn't thinking about that. Maybe this doctor hadn't removed all the poison and it was now attacking my brain.

I heard a strange noise and soon Eric's bloody wrist was in front of me, I could refuse of course but I wanted to live and walk so I took his wrist reluctantly as if it was toxic. Then, it wasn't… And it didn't taste like Bill's blood tasted when he tried to make me drink from him in the woods, probably because I had not this monster's poison in my veins. Drinking Eric's blood even if it was rather disgusting to drink blood was blissful. And now I understood those V-addicts. It was sweet and just addicting, I couldn't get enough as much as I hated what I was doing. I was becoming crazy because of his blood, I wanted more and more. And Eric was enjoying what I was doing because his eyes were clouded with lust probably because I was drinking from him. That was disgusting…

" That's enough, Alyssa. " Eric said and he took his wrist away from my mouth and I moaned in displeasure.

I didn't do that, did I ? Yes, I did and I was ashamed but it didn't last very long because before I knew I was asleep, finally asleep.
