A/N: Please review! Action starts now…
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.
"Come out, come out wherever you are," Bill called from outside taunting us as I saw he wasn't alone.
He has been out there for some time, it's been an hour since he got here and he hasn't moved a bit.
He was waiting for us, watching us, and ready to pounce at a second's notice.
I was watching him from the living room window as Eric yelled out commands to Pam, Tara, and Jess.
"Well what the fuck are we supposed to do, sit down and watch you get killed?" Pam yelled at Eric as he paced around the room.
"Just let me fucking think for a second!" His voice was intense as he glared at her and continued to pace once more.
I tried to send him a calming feeling, like he had done before but he just glared at me and I knew I wasn't helping.
"Eric, they can stay down in the cubby," I told him as I moved away from the window, not wanting to watch Bill any longer.
"And hide not likely," Tara said as she held onto Pam's hand as they both watched Eric intently.
"Well sitting here like idiots isn't exactly helping us either." My words were harsh as I turned away from Tara and looked to Eric.
"What about him, will he be affected?" Eric asked as he pointed to Warlow who hadn't moved or said a word since we entered the house.
"Need not worry about me, his powers have no power over me," he said as he sat in a chair with his eyes closed.
"What are you doing?" I asked him as I felt a strange warmth coming off of him.
"I am scanning the area and seeing how many distractions Bill brought with him."
"How many?" I asked him and he smiled as he opened one eye.
"Try it for yourself, close your eyes and block out all other distractions," he said and I did as I was told.
I took a deep breath and tried to listen for all the other minds surrounding us.
I saw about ten other voids and a couple of Were minds, looks like he was already building his army.
"Fuck," I muttered as I scanned once more over all the vampires.
"What?" Eric asked me.
"Well if we were uncertain at all about Bill's power, than we have a real answer now. He has about ten vamps with him, and a couple of wolves." Alcide growled along with Sam as I mentioned the wolves.
"Anyone from your pack?" Sam asked him.
"No, they are good people now. It's the ones that left, those fucking cowards." His voice was full of hate and disgust as he walked over to the window to look at the wolves.
I looked over to the foot of the stairs to see Jason and Lafayette talking about something.
"Jase, do you have any of your weapons with you?" I asked him.
"Maybe we could set up some defenses during the day and try to get out of here to a safer location," I told Eric.
"Yeah I got them upstairs, give me a sec," Jason said as him and Lafayette ran upstairs.
"How are we going to get Pam, Tara, and Jess out of here during the day?" He asked me.
"With magic." Amelia spoke up.
"I can transport them, I did it to you," she told Eric and he nodded.
"That could work, as long as we get them out of here safely."
"Why won't you just let us help?" Pam asked him.
"Because you will no longer be any help to us once Bill gets a hand on you."
"Oh so true Eric." We all froze as Bills voice rang throughout the house.
"You see you're not the only one with a witch."
How did I miss the witch?
"Just come to the door, I only want to talk."
"Go fuck yourself Bill," Eric said loudly as he walked over and shut the curtains to the window.
"Any other bright ideas?" He asked everyone.
"It has to be him, Bill is in there I know it," Jess muttered to herself as she got up.
"Where do you think you are going, little miss thing?" Lafayette asked as he and Jason came back into the room with weapons.
"None of you understand what this is like for me. I can't and I won't give up on him." She ran over to the door but Eric blocked her way.
"If you go out there he will turn you into his slave and we will be forced to kill you, I don't want to harm you, don't make me harm you. I will keep you here by force if necessary," Eric said as he put both of his arms on her and pushed her back.
"You can't make me stay here, I have to help him," she said as she began to cry.
"Let the girl come out and play, I will not harm her. She's family Eric, you know the meaning of family, and in fact I came across a little piece of your family on my way here. It was actually a very interesting visit." Eric froze as he turned slowly to the door.
"Eric, grab Jess!" I yelled out as she ran outside.
"No!" I screamed as I walked over to the door next to Eric.
Eric stopped me from exiting the house.
"She's gone," he mumbled as he saw Jessica freeze and all sounds of sobs were gone from her.
"Jess!" Jason yelled as he went after her but Eric grabbed him and threw him back knocking him out.
"Jason!"
"He will be fine," Eric said numbly as he kept his stare outside to Bill and Jess.
Jess was frozen in between the house and Bill. She stood there as Bill slowly smiled and she fell to her knees.
"No," I whispered as I grabbed Eric's hand.
Jessica was gone, we had to get her back, we just had to save her.
"Everyone stay in the house!" Eric ordered as Pam and Tara got up.
"Go down in the cubby," I told them as I turned to them and they nodded.
"Put this over you guys just in case," Lafayette said his voice fearful and shaken.
He gave them a blanket and put it over Tara and Pam to block out any view of Bill and led them to the cubby and helped them down it.
"Jess," Sam said sadly as he looked outside and Alcide followed by his side.
Amelia walked up behind us, but kept her distance.
"Stay calm Sookie." Her thoughts rang throughout my head and I nodded slightly to her.
"You see what I can do, now show me what you got," Bill said coldly as he smiled at me.
"Got any new tricks, or still tiring out the damsel in distress act?" He laughed as my anger boiled up in me.
"Don't give him the satisfaction, he wants you to get angry," Eric told me and Bill scoffed.
"Finally got the girl, huh I wonder how long it will take this time for her to leave you. I give it a week tops," Bill said mockingly.
"Keep talking Bill, and go find yourself more walls to hide behind. I put an end to Russell and I can put an end to you."
"Now Eric I think we both know that I am nothing like Russell, I am so much more." His voice got dark and deep as he smiled once again.
The moonlight seemed to make Bill look darker as opposed to lighter and I couldn't help but notice the blackness surrounding him.
"His aura, what you are seeing is his aura." Warlow came up behind us and answered my thoughts.
"You are becoming very powerful my dear." He smiled and I turned back to Bill.
"Now who is this mystery man, another suitor Sookie? You really are setting out to sleep with every supernatural man you meet, aren't you?" He asked me.
"Fuck you Bill!" He laughed.
"You have my dear sweetheart, you have."
"How utterly rude you are. I wonder, what would your children think of you now?" Warlow pushed aside Eric and I as he stepped front and center to see Bill.
"My children are dead, they don't really have an opinion anymore now do they?" Bill walked closer to the house as he got a good look at Warlow.
"Well I am certain that they would see you as a monster, which by all means you are but you wanted that. But what I am sure they would see you as would be a coward, see I know a lot about you Mr. Compton," Warlow said calmly as he smiled warmly at Bill.
"Like what, mystery gentleman that I have heard nothing about." Bill raised an eyebrow as he looked at Warlow as if he were trash.
"I know you are a coward and even though you have a new sense of godly attitude about yourself, you are still the same old sniveling insect you have always been, even when you were human. Mr. Compton for so long you have deluded yourself thinking there was good in you, when in fact you were a liar and a monster. But now that you accept the fact you are not only a monster, but a god you still hide behind others. Your power only runs so deep and you know that, you know that even though many fear you, you can be taken down." Warlow let the power of his words soak in and Bill growled at him.
Bill loosened up and then started to laugh manically.
"Are you done, my lord what a long drawn out speech full of nonsense. I don't need any of these fucking buffoons to protect me; I can fight my battles all by myself!" Bill yelled out into the night air and then looked back over to Warlow who was now also laughing.
"You're like a villain from an old fairy tale book, let these buffoons go then if you are so confident that you don't need them," Warlow said and walked a little closer to the entrance of the door, practically almost outside.
"But then you see the fun would be lost, I'm not just doing this for my own satisfaction, I'm doing it for their misery." He pointed to Eric and me.
"Why are you doing this Bill?" I asked him and looked over to me.
"Because I want you to suffer, I want both of you to suffer. You both deny the word of God; deny the word of me and for that you and all of your misguided followers shall fall at my feet. You made me weak once, but I won't let that happen again and to ensure this you must die, I hope this doesn't leave things tense between us." He began to laugh once again and I felt my power start to go down to my hands.
"Control yourself Sookie," Warlow warned me as he sent me a warning glance.
Why was he being so nice to me and actually helping?
Sam and Alcide continued to stay quiet as they just glared at Bill, waiting for any plan of action to go on.
They both turned around and I noticed Lafayette was still down there with Pam and Tara.
"Go make sure he is okay, everything will be fine up here," I told them and they nodded.
I took a deep breath and Eric's emotions started to mess with my head.
His anger and fear were strong in the bond as he kept a tight hand on me and I looked over to him.
"Everything will be alright." I told him and he nodded but I knew he knew I was lying.
"Starting out this relationship with lies as well, tsk tsk," Bill said as he taunted me.
"I will personally drive a stake through your heart," Eric said and Bill laughed.
"I never did finish my story earlier, now as I was saying I saw a familiar face earlier and I thought to myself, what would she be doing out here without the Sookie Stackhouse club following her." I gasped as Eric froze.
"What did you do with her?" Eric asked through clenched teeth.
"Well I just thought, she must have done something to really piss of Sookie because that's the only way you would really kick her out, isn't it? Not very smart, especially with all the beasties running around at night," Bill said and Eric launched forward.
"What did you do?" Eric yelled but I grabbed him and Warlow helped me pull him back into the house.
"I had fun with her before I converted her to the one true vampire authority." Bill stepped out of the way and one of the guards protecting him was Nora.
"No!" Eric was fighting to get to her but I brought his face to mine.
"Eric, please stop, please he wants this reaction. Be strong, I can't lose you too," I told him and he stopped fighting against Warlow.
Red tears fell down his face as I brought him back into the house and I turned around to close the door.
"That's enough from you," I told Bill and he laughed.
"Hardly my dear, the fun is just starting," he said as I closed the door.
"What an asshole, can't wait until he's dead," Warlow muttered as he sat in a chair in the living room.
Amelia stopped in the middle of the room and looked around everywhere.
What was happening with her?
I was about to say something until I noticed Eric.
He walked numbly over to the couch and sat there staring at the ground.
I just stared at him and tried to send my love through the bond, but then I felt his side of the bond go cold and I knew he had blocked me out.
I felt a small tear slowly start to make its way out of my eye but I stopped it, I couldn't cry over this anymore.
I had to be strong.
Where were the guys?
"Jason!" I exclaimed as I got up and ran over to Jason who was still knocked out.
He groaned as I helped him up.
"Sorry Eric threw you," I told him and Jason got up quickly.
"Jessica, we have to help her," he said as he walked over to the door but I stopped him.
"We will, but for now we have to stay together."
"Fuck, we can't just do nothing."
"I know, but we have to be smart about this," I told him.
He nodded and looked around.
"Um Sookie," Amelia called out and I looked over to her.
"Where are the guys?" Jason asked me and then a loud crash came from the cubby.
Eric ran to my side as well as Warlow as the cubby doors busted open and out came Pam and Tara covered in blood.
I scanned the cubby area and the guys were still alive but were unconscious. Lafayette was hurt and was bleeding from the neck, but Sam and Alcide were just knocked out.
"Bill would like to speak with you," Pam said numbly as Tara ran to the door and opened it as Pam pushed me outside.
"Sookie!" Eric followed after me as well as Warlow and Pam kept a grip on Amelia and Jason.
"Like I said my dear, the fun is just starting."
