MARRY THE NIGHT
Chapter Thirteen: All Your Love is Revenge
Silence was all that could be heard in the basement of the 'Fellowship of the Sun', Sookie's eyes locked on Godric's form as he continued to stare down at the body of Doe on the floor. "Godric, it's me!" Gabe shouted, fear lacing his voice as he tried to get the old vampire to release him, but Godric didn't speak as he broke the man's neck, letting him fall to the floor at his feet. "You should not have come." He spoke, Sookie's eyes shooting up at him at his words, but all eyes turned back to the door when they heard screaming coming from upstairs. "Bill!" The blonde shouted happily as she jumped up to grab the bars, Godric turning down to Doe's body. "No. I'm here my child. Down here." He said, the blonde vampire suddenly appearing in the basement, his eyes locking on his maker inside the cage. "Godric." He softly spoke, opening up the doors and kneeling in front of him, the shorter vampire speaking up. "You were a fool for sending humans after me." He said, Eric keeping his eyes down. "I had no other choice. These savages they... they seek to destroy you."
"I'm aware of what they've planned. This one betrayed you." Godric said as he pointed over to the unconscious Hugo, Sookie speaking up. "He's with the Fellowship. They set a trap for us." She explained and Eric nodded, looking up at his maker. "How long has it been since you've fed?" He questioned and Godric avoided his gaze, looking down at Doe, Eric's eyes following him. "I require very little blood anymore." He told his progeny, but the blonde vampire hadn't heard him, his eyes glued on Doe. "Dorian?" Eric started, his eyes narrowing into slits before glaring over at Sookie. "What happened?" He demanded and Sookie was about to yell at him, but looked around the room when alarms started to sound through out the church. "Save the human. Go with him." He told her and Eric growled, standing up from the ground. "I'm not leaving your side until you are..." The blonde vampire started, but Godric stopped him. "I can take care of myself." He said, reaching down and gently placing his arms around Doe's back and knees, pulling her into his chest. "What about Doe?" Sookie asked. "I will watch her."
He said and she slowly nodded, grabbing onto Eric's sleeve. "Come on! We have to go." She said, Eric turning back to his maker. "Spill no blood on the way out." Godric said as he spoke to his son, the taller vampire nodding. "Go!" He ordered and the two were quickly out of the room and up the stairs, leaving Godric alone with the silver haired mermaid in his arms. "...You are a fool, Dorian." He softly spoke, balancing her head on his shoulder as he pulled his arm from around her back, letting his fangs retract from his gums. "But for this you must forgive me." The two-thousand year old vampire said as bit into his wrist and gently placed it at her lips. "Förlåt mig." He muttered again as he watched her eyes start to flutter open, her hands grabbing onto his arm and pulling it closer to her lips so she could drink. "Långsamt, min kära. Långsamt."
Seconds later, Doe's eyes shot open and released her lips from his wrist, taking deep and heavy breaths as the red liquid slowly dripped from her chin. "Dorian." Godric started, reaching forward to wipe the blood from her chin. "Dorian, I-" He began but was stopped by the deep glare in the mermaid's eyes. "You promised..." She growled, slapping his hand away from her face, Godric's eyes blank and emotionless. "I know." He simply stated, another growl leaving her. "You promised me, Godric! Προδότη!" She shouted and without speaking, he placed her on her feet to only have her push away from him and wipe her lips of the blood. "I trusted you..." Doe muttered and he sighed, running one hand through his hair, his eyelids now covering his tired eyes. "We will deal with this later, Dorian." Godric started, his eyes narrowing over at his female friend who tried not to flinch under his gaze. "Right now we need to fix this mess." He told her, holding out his hand. "...Fine. But I'm still upset with you." Doe said with a sigh as she accepted his hand, Godric quickly lifting her back into his arms and racing out of the basement.
"Brothers and sisters, we are on lockdown. Women with children, please take them our classroom buildings. Men, and able-bodied women, security personnel will provide you with stakes and silver just outside the chapel. Our Soldiers of the Sun are on their way to protect our church, but safely evacuate the building now. Brothers and sisters, the hour in upon us!" Steve's voice echoed through out the halls of the Fellowship, Doe narrowing her eyes as she thought about the reverend and what he did to her. "Stay here." Godric said as he moved into a large hall of the church, setting Doe on her feet. "Where are you going?" She asked as she heard commotion within the sanctuary, her eyebrows arching. "To start my plan. Try to stay out of this." He told her before using his vampire speed to vanish, the silver haired female scowling at his sudden leave. "Doe!" Hearing her name, the mermaid turned to see Sookie and Eric moving over to the doors of the sanctuary, the blonde wrapping her in a hug. "Oh god I'm so glad you're okay! What happened? You look good as new!" Sookie asked as she held out the mermaid at arms length, admiring her as a snarl echoed from Eric's throat.
"Oh stop it, Eric." The blonde scolded, her eyes widening as they heard voices coming from down the hall. "Eric, through the sanctuary." She said quickly, ushering both mythical beings past the large doors and shutting them behind her. "Where's the exit?" Eric asked and Sookie rolled her eyes. "Back that way." She said, both neither of the three expected to hear the fourth voice speak up. "There are several exits, actually. For you, the easiest one takes you straight to hell." Steve said with a smirk, the blonde female glaring up at him. "Let us leave." She asked, turning around to the members of the Fellowship who were slowly starting to enter the sanctuary. "Save yourselves. No one has to die." Sookie pleaded, but Steve only spoke. "The war has begun you evil whore of Satan. You vampires cast the first stone by killing my family. The lines have been drawn. You're either with us, or against us. We are prepared for Armageddon." He explained and Sookie took her head in disbelief. "The vampire you're holding prisoner got away. He's a sheriff. He's bound to send for help."
"I'm not concerned with Godric. Any vampire would do for our grand celebration, and we got one right here." Steve said, pointing behind him to an alter underneath the large cross of Jesus; the three noticing the silver chains before the reverend motioned over at Eric. Both Sookie and Doe quickly glanced up at the blonde vampire and he retract his fangs, looking down at the two females. "I'll be fine." He told the two, Doe starting to take a step forward but was held back by Sookie who watched as he let some members place silver over his body. "Brothers and sisters, there will be a holy bonfire at dawn." Steve shouted to his Fellowship, laughing as the group cheered at his words while Eric groaned in pain at the silver. "Eric..." Doe muttered softly, wincing at the smell of his burning flesh. "You see? Justice as our Lord our Savior was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, a few ounces of silver can betray a child of Satan to the world!"
"That doesn't make any sense. How can you people listen to him?" Sookie demanded of the group of humans, all continuing to stand their ground as they held bows and arrows and stakes at the two females. "I... I offer myself in exchange for Godric's freedom. And the girl's as well." Eric started from the alter, groaning at the sizzling that continued to dig into his skin. "That's noble. But they are just as culpable as you are. They are traitor's to her face. The human race." Doe only softly scoffing at this. "They hardly deserve our mercy." He said as he turned to Eric. "Maybe we should tie her to you so you can meet the sun together." Steve started as he moved forward, Doe quickly moving the blonde behind her. "Hope this marshmallow will roast up nicely." He said with a chuckle as he stopped in front of Doe, but his eyebrow rose when he realized something was different about her... "You are healed." He muttered, a sinister smirk appearing on his lips as he reached forward, gripping the back of her head and tugging her to his face as she cried out. "The devils power now rests within you, you whore of Satan!"
He shouted, Sookie screaming at the man to release her while Eric retracted his fangs with a growl at the human male who held Doe. "Shall I tie you down next to our vampire friend? And watch as you and the devil inside you burns under the power of God." Steve said, but his eyes widened with shock when Doe's eyes turned to a brighter blue and her mermaid fangs and scales appeared. "...Interesting." He said chuckling, a low growl erupting from her throat. "What are you?" He demanded and Doe was about to rip his hand from her hair, but stopped when she heard the sanctuary doors slam open. "Sookie!" Bill shouted as he entered the room, the blonde turning around with a large smile on her face as her boyfriend started to move to her. Quickly, Steve through Doe to the ground by her hair and grabbed onto Sookie, pulling a gun from his back pocket and pressing it to her temple. "One more step, vampire, and the girl dies."
"If you shoot her, everybody here will die! Let her go now."
"Honestly, what do they see in you?" Steve asked with an annoyed tone as he glanced down at Sookie, shaking his head before turning to his soldiers. "Soldiers, some silver chains for our friend here." He ordered and the blonde gasped. "Don't, he's done nothing to do." She shouted and Bill shook his head. "Sookie, I'll be fine." He promised, all eyes once again turning when they heard another door slam open. "NEWLIN!" Jason Stackhouse shouted as he fired a gun in his hand, hitting the gun out of Steve's own hand. "Let her go, fuckwad." He snapped as he fired again, hitting Steve between the eyes with a green paint ball. "AH... AHH!" The reverend screamed as he released Sookie, the vampire rushing over to his mate. "Son of a bitch!" Steve groaned in pain as Doe finally pushed herself up from the ground, kicking down two Fellowship members who tried to hold her down. "Eric!" She shouted as she rushed over to the alter, tossing off the silver chains and helping him sit up, watching in awe at how fast his wounds healed. "Let's go!" Sookie shouted, but Eric had already moved over to Steve, grabbing his around the throat and holding him down to the stairs.
"Do not kill him!" Sookie begged at Eric, but Jason had other ideas as he grinned while holding up his paint gun. "KILL HIM! Kill the motherfucker!" He shouted and Sookie turned to scold him, but was stopped by Steve's voice. "Go ahead. Murder us before God. We are willing to die." He said with a smirk, but after looking around the room, Doe could tell that no human in that room had wanted to die that night... "Steve Newlin!" A new voice shouted, Doe's eyes widening in shock as she turned to the sanctuary doors to see Stan and a group of vampires. "You have pushed us too far. You expect us to sit on our thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us? We'll kill you first. Same way we did your father."
"Oh God no..." Sookie muttered as Doe groaned heavily, wanting to kill Stan at that moment. "Murderer!" Steve shouted angrily at the cowboy vampire, Stan retracting his fangs and zooming across the room with his companions. One by one a vampire grabbed a human and positioned themselves at their necks, ready to take a bite. "Bill, Eric, stop them!" Sookie shouted from behind her boyfriend, screaming out when one of the vampires grabbed onto Doe, tugging her head up by her hair and licking up her neck. "We have to go now!" Bill shouted, his eyes then moving over to Doe and growling at the vampire with Eric, said vampire smirking as he tugged harder on the mermaids hair, causing her to wince with pain. "Enough!" A fourth voice shouted, everyone looking up to see Godric standing on top of the cross by the alter, his eyes looking over the madness. "You came for me I assume. Underling." He spoke, glancing over at Stan who bowed. "Yes sheriff."
"These people have not harmed me. You see? We an coexist. Mr. Newlin, I do not wish to create bloodshed when none is called for. Help me set an example. If we can leave you in peace, will you do the same?" Godric asked the reverend, but Steve only scowled and pushed against Eric's hand. "Will not negotiate with subhumans! Kill me." He shouted and one of the woman in the room cried out a 'No!' at his words, Godric shaking his head. "Do it. Jesus will protect me." Steve said proudly and Godric turned his attention back at the human male. "I am actually older than your Jesus. I wish I could have known him, but I missed it." He said and Doe smirked from her captive hold, Eric chuckling under his breath as Steve turn red with rage. "Good people, who of you is willing to die for this man's madness?" He asked the Fellowship, not hearing a single answer form anyone. "That's what I thought. Stand down, everyone. People, go home. It's over now."
"Oh thank god, Bill." Sookie said as she embraced Bill, the humans quickly dropping their weapons and rushing out of the room when the vampires released them; Doe's vampire growling before releasing her and the mermaid was quick to hiss back much to his surprise. "It's all right, you're safe now. You're safe." He said as he rubbed her cheek, Eric releasing Steve and standing up. "Please don't leave me." Steve begged and all moves to him, Godric glancing over his shoulder at the man. "I daresay my faith in humankind is stronger than yours. Come." He said to all the vampires, the group bowing and leaving the sanctuary. "Are you sure you're okay?" Eric decided to ask Sookie, Bill immediately growling at him. "She's fine! Go with your maker." He snapped and Eric growled back, watching as Sookie was embraced by her brother and his eyes trailed over to Doe, who let her mermaid fangs disappear along with her scales. "Are you okay?" He decided to ask her, her eyes widening as she looked over at the blonde. "Cause you seem to look much better than when I last saw you." He started with a smirk, appearing in front of her in a instant and pressing her up against the alter that used to hold him. "Now... How is that possible?"
"Eric." Godric's voice spoke, stopping the blonde from leaning his lips closer to Doe's own. "Dorian, come." He said and Doe nodded, moving around the blonde vampire and walking over to Godric, Eric growling over at his maker. "We have much to discuss." Godric said as he moved through the sanctuary with Doe, the two not noticing that punch that Steve had just received from Jason; Sookie and Bill having to pull him away from the injured reverend. "And I know you have many questions. As well as much anger to release." He said next and she narrowed her eyes, slowly nodding. Without speaking, Godric lifted Doe from her feet and she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, the two vanishing from the church with his vampire speed, Godric realizing that Eric was not far behind.
When the group returned back to the Nest, Godric had realized that Isabel had thrown a party in celebration of his return, Stan standing off in the distance. With that, Doe made her escape to go upstairs and change into something more suitable then her white dress that was destroyed by Gabe and Steve. With a scowl, she tore off the dress and examined her body in the mirror, noticing that all traces of injury had vanished... Except for the Maenad curse on her stomach. But thanks to Godric's blood, it had weakened slightly, not longer burning her with the sizzling white liquid. She knew that she should thank him for his blood, but he had promised to never drink from her or allow her to drink his own blood. For she knew what would happen if she did... 'He can feel me now.' She thought with a groan as she slapped her dress against the black vanity, watching as it fell to the floor. 'He will know my pain from his damn curse!'
Kicking over her chair, she moved into the bathroom and pulled off her bra and panties, preparing to take a shower. 'I never wanted him in my head or to feel me...' The mermaid thought sadly, turning on the water and concentrating on her legs, making sure they stayed human while her scales appeared on her skin, her hair rapidly growing to the bottom of the shower. 'He will blame himself for my injury like he always has, explaining how he couldn't be there for me.' With a heavy sigh, Doe reached over to the shampoo and started to watch her hair, only doing the top half since she knew she would be cutting it off after the shower. 'Oh, Godric... Σας ανόητο χαζός.' As she began to wash the shampoo from her hair, a creak was heard from the door to her room and she stopped, hearing footsteps moving around. "Is that you, Isabel?" Doe called, hearing the footsteps stop at the door to the bathroom. "I'm in the shower, be out soon." She said, shutting her eyes and letting the bubbles leave her hair.
As she grabbed the soap to wash her body, she heard the door to the bathroom open and arched an eyebrow when it shut again. "Isabel? I said I'll be out soon." She said but got no answer so she sighed, starting to wash her arms. "Fine, would you mind picking out a decent dress for me then?" Without a word from the other party, the curtain to the shower was thrown open and Doe cried out in shock, her eyes widening when she saw a smirking Eric staring down at her. "E-Eric!" She screeched and his smirk widened, letting go of the soaked material and leaning on the wall, letting his eyes trail her body as she tried to cover herself from his gaze. "Hmm. Just as beautiful as the last time I saw you, but then again, that time you had a tail." He said and she growled at him, preparing to toss the soap at his head, but he was quicker and slammed her hands into the wall, her body following. "Let go of me, Eric!" Doe shouted and he chuckled, pressing his body closer to hers, not caring that the shower water had continued to run.
"Now, why would I do that? I have you right where I want you." He said as he moved her wrists up above her head, using one hand to hold both in place while he traced his hand down her neck to her chest. "Doesn't this seem familiar?" Eric whispered into her ear as he grabbed onto one of her breasts, shivers running down her spine as she tried not to moan out. "D-damn you, Eric...!" She softly moaned as he smirked, licking the outside of her ear and massaging her breast within his hand. Another moan left her lips and he growled, moving his hips into her own before capturing her lips. His hand left her chest momentarily so he could lift her hips up, wrapping her legs around his waist before returning to her breast and forcing his tongue into her mouth. In the back of Doe's mind, she knew that she needed to get away from Eric, but the other half was fighting because of how good he had been making her feel... A sensation she hadn't felt in many moons... But she knew it would be bad if he bit her... And from what she could feel from inside his pants, she knew that was what he wanted.
"Dorian..." Eric groaned as he released her wrists, his other hand moving to the other breast and massaging them both together which caused another moan to leave Doe's own lips. "Aah... Eric... S-stop..." She pleaded softly when he moved his lips to her neck, Doe's fears started to surface. "No! Eric! Aah... Stop!" She cried out, trying to push back on her shoulders, but he was too powerful and pressed her deeper into the wall, starting to gently nip at the skin. "Eric! Stop!" Doe shouted again but this time, Eric covered her mouth with his hand, stopping at the perfect spot of her neck. "Your blood... Is intoxicating." He said as he licked up the side of her neck before placing the tips of his fangs on her, Doe's eyes shutting as she waited for the pain. "Eric!" A familiar voice shouted, Eric's eyes shooting open and looking over his shoulder to see Godric standing in the door way, his own fangs out a dark glow in his eyes.
"Godric..." Doe muttered and Eric stood silently, slowly pulling his fangs from Doe's neck and staring over at his maker. "Godric." He said and the shorter vampire growled, slamming the bathroom door shut behind him. "Release her." He ordered and Eric narrowed his eyes, but of course obliging to his 'father's' words. Once Doe was set back on her feet, she immediately slapped the blonde across the face, wincing at the pain it had caused her hand. "You hurt me, Dorian." Eric said with a smirk, the red mark already vanishing from his cheek. "You can deny it all you want but we both know you enjoyed that." He said and Doe prepared to slap him again, but Godric quickly appeared and stopped her, moving Eric out of his way. "Eric, you may leave." Godric ordered darkly, the blonde vampire smirking again and giving a short bow before exiting the bathroom, leaving the two alone. "...Thank you." Doe said as she pulled her wrist from his hand, turning off the water and stepping out of the tub past Godric. "I guess it was a good thing that you were able to feel me." She said softly as she grabbed a towel, starting to dry her hair as she kept her back to the old vampire.
"Dorian." Godric started, turning to face the mermaid, her back still turned to him. "Dorian, look at me." He asked and with a light sigh, Doe allowed herself to face Godric, his eyes not leaving hers. "I know you are upset at me for giving you my blood. After the promises we made." He started, moving away from the tub and stepped over to her, placing his hand gently on her cheek. "Godric." She whispered, looking up into his eyes, missing the bright gleam they used to hold. "Come." He said as he took his hand from her cheek, grabbing onto her hand and pulling her out of the bathroom and back into her room. "Here." With a soft smile, he grabbed the towel from her hands and had her lift up her arms, wrapping the towel around her body. A pink tint coated the mermaid's cheeks when she realized what he had done, but her eyes widened when he led her to the bed and sat her down; moving over to the closest to find an outfit for her.
"Godric, you don't have too..." She started, but he ignored her and pulled out a purple dress, one that both remembered all too well. "This one will be perfect." He said as he closed the doors, bringing it over to his female friend. "This was always my favorite dress of yours." Godric told her as he placed it on the bed, Doe's eyes trailing up to his own, his orbs locking with hers. "I will let you change." He said, moving forward to place a kiss on her forehead. "We will talk later." He promised and she nodded, watching as he left her room and shut the door behind him, his footsteps echoing down the hall. 'Godric...' Doe thought with a soft sigh as she looked down at the dress, a small smile appearing on her lips as her fingers traced the purple material.
Doe had now finally gotten dressed and cut off her extra hair, tossing it in the trash can before moving down the stairs to join the rest of the party. She knew that Godric would be entertaining his guests so she tried not to get in his way as she entered the living room. She noticed that Jason was within the room speaking to a few of the humans that came while Sookie was by a table and Bill with Eric. Before she could search for Isabel, she watched with worry as she saw the Spanish vampire leading Hugo into the nest and over to where Godric sat. "This is the one who betrayed us." Isabel softly spoke, dropping Hugo to his knees as tears of blood fell from her eyes, Godric looking between the two. "Hugo. He's your human, is he not?"
"Yes, he is."
"Do you love him?" He asked her and Doe inched her way over to her friends, placing her hand over her heart as she watched. 'Poor Isabel...' She thought sadly as Isabel hiccuped from her crying. "I... I thought I did." She answered. "It appears you love him still." Godric said and she took a deep breath, wrapping her arms around herself. "I do. I'm sorry. But you are my sheriff. Do with him as you please." Isabel said sadly and Godric nodded, his eyes returning to peer down at Hugo who kept his eyes to the floor. "You are free to go." He spoke, all eyes moving to the sheriff. "What?" Stan demanded and Godric continued. "The human is free to go. And do not return. I fear it is not safe for you here." He explained and Stan pushed himself from off the wall, glaring over at Godric. "This is a travesty." He snapped. "This is my verdict. Eric, escort them out. Make sure he leaves unharmed."
"Yes, Godric." Eric said as he grabbed onto Hugo's arm, pulling him up from the floor and out of the room. "Thank you. Thank you, sheriff." Isabel cried, Doe moving through the crowd to wrap her arms around her friend who happily accepted. "Thank you, Godric." Doe said softly as she led Isabel from his presence, the Spanish vampire thanking her. "I know this must be so hard on you..." The mermaid started, grabbing a tissue and gently wiping the blood tears from Isabel's face. "But you did the right thing by bringing him to Godric." She said and the vampire nodded, taking the vampire from her hand and wiping her own eyes. "But it still hurts." She said and Doe nodded, rubbing her friend's back and leaving her so she could have some time alone. "Doe! Over here!" The mermaid turned and smiled when she saw Sookie waving at her from the middle of the room, wearing a white dress underneath a white jacket that tied around her waist; her hair down and curled over shoulders. "Sookie, good to see you."
"Glad to see you too. The last couple hours have been crazy, don't you think?" Sookie asked and Doe nodded, a low chuckle leaving her lips. "It has been. But we are here and we are safe. That's all that matters." Doe said and Sookie smiled, agreeing. "Let us cheer for our victory in finding Godric!" She started as she grabbed onto her wine glass, Doe laughing and grabbing one from the table, holding it up with the blonde. "Cheers!" The two said in unison before sipping their wine, laughing as they placed down their glasses. "Hello, there." A new voice started, both women turning around to see a woman with dark brown hair wearing a red dress grinning at the two. Was she a vampire? "I'm Lorena." She greeted and Sookie smiled. "Nice to meet you. This is Dorian and I'm Sookie." The blonde said and Lorena's grin turned into a smirk. "Yes. You are what all the fuss is about."
"Excuse me?" Sookie asked, her joyful expression suddenly changing to confused, Doe's eyebrow arching at the new woman. "Aren't you a morsel." She continued and the blonde was beginning to get agitated. "I'm sorry. Who are you?" She asked and Lorena chuckled, pressing her fingers to her red lips. "Well, we have a mutual friend." She explained and both girls knew who meant. "Bill?" Doe started and Lorena nodded, her eyes now turning to Doe and looking her up and down. "That's right. Funny he never mentioned me. I practically made him what he is today." She explained as her eyes met Doe's, beginning to lick her lips at her scent and the mermaid's eyes widened, the three not noticing Bill making his way back into the room. "Lorena." He started darkly and Lorena tore her eyes away from Doe, smiling up at her progeny.
"Oh, hello, darling. I was just getting to know your plaything. You always did like to prey on the innocent. The other though," She started, smirking back over at Doe who gulped. "Smells delicious. A good find, indeed."
"Bill, is this your maker?" Sookie asked and Bill nodded, moving past Lorena to stand next to his girlfriend. "She released me years ago. She no longer has any hold over me." He explained and Lorena laughed, the blonde's eyes moving to her. "I wouldn't say that. We had two marvelous nights in your hotel room." She said and Sookie's eyes widened, shooting back up to Bill. "What?"
"Did you know your boyfriend hit me over the head with a 52-inch plasma television earlier tonight? Everyone says they're so thin and light, but let me tell you, when wielded properly, it's quite a weapon." She said and Sookie was surprised to hear this, looking back to her boyfriend. "You did?" She asked and he ignored her, narrowing his eyes at his maker. "Lorena, you need to leave." He snapped and she chuckled. "I hope he doesn't pull the same shenanigans with you. There's no excuse for domestic violence." Lorena said and Bill growled, wrapping his arm around Sookie's waist. "What she has failed to mention is that she was holding me prisoner." He said and Doe looked over at him with surprise. "Pshaw. We were just catching up is all. You must have been worried sick, wondering where he was. I admit it. It got a bit heated. But you know how old lovers can get sometimes."
Lorena said as she reached over to rub Bill's cheek, but Doe was quick to grab her wrist and hold her back, Sookie glaring at the female vampire. "Do not touch him." The blonde snapped and Lorena's smirk widened, looking between Doe and Sookie, her eyes lingering longer on the mermaid. "My, we're feisty too. You're no more than a blood bag. You cannot win this." She said and Sookie shook her head like the woman was an idiot. "I've already won. Bill chose me. And yet you still won't give up. Don't you have any shame?" She asked and Bill turned to the blonde, pulling her back away from Lorena. "Sookie, stop." He spoke and Lorena grinned, tugging her hand out of Doe's grip. "I'd listen to him. Run away, little girl. William and I love each other."
"You've gone mad. Now get out now." Bill shouted at her, his fangs retracting which caused his maker's to appear as well. "Maybe you do love him. Who am I to guess? But he doesn't love you. He never has, and that we both know." Sookie said and Lorena's head snapped to the blonde, a low growl leaving her lips. "Take those words back or they shall be your last." She warned and Bill growled, grabbing onto Lorena as Doe stood in front of Sookie, in case she needed the protection. "We're leaving!" Bill shouted as he started to drag Lorena, but Sookie only continued on. "Go find someone else, you fucking bitch! You've lost this one!" She shouted and with those words, Lorena snapped. She tugged herself out of Bill's grasp and launched at Sookie, Dorian's fangs appeared as she growled herself, jumping back at the female vampire and landing on the floor in the middle of some screaming vampires and humans.
"Doe!" Sookie shouted as the two fell to the floor, Lorena scratching the side of Doe's face and shoving her into a glass table which shattered on impact. "DOE!" The blonde shouted again, but screamed when Lorena gripped onto her shoulders and prepared to bite her neck; neither expecting her to be suddenly tugged off and held by the back of her neck by Godric, who looked ready to kill. "Retract... your... fangs. Now." He demanded darkly and Lorena immediately obeyed, her fangs disappearing back into her gums as Sookie hurried over to Doe, watching with worry as the mermaid winced and started pulling out pieces of glass from her back. "I neither know nor care who you are. But in this area and certainly this nest, I am authority. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sheriff." Lorena muttered, Godric's eyes flying over to Sookie and Doe momentarily before back to the female vampire in his grip. "This human has proven herself to be a courageous and loyal friend to our kind. And yet you treat her like a child does a dragonfly, pulling off wings for sport. No wonder they hate us."
"She provoked me."
"And you provoked me. You disrupted the peace in my own home. I could snap you like a twig. Yet I haven't. Now, why is that?" He asked her, Lorena taking a breath before answering in a grumble. "It's... your choice." She said and he nodded. "Indeed it is. You're an old vampire. I can tell. You've had hundreds of years to better yourself, yet you haven't. You are still savage, and I fear for all of us, humans and vampires, if this behavior persists." He said, looking over Bill who was next to Sookie and Doe. "You. You seem to know her." Godric started and Bill nodded. "Yes, sheriff." He answered and Godric released his old on Lorena, shoving her over to Bill. "Escort her from the nest." He said and Bill took a look at Sookie, who smiled back at him. "Go ahead, I'm fine." She said as she helped Doe up from the ground of glass, the mermaid wincing at the pain, which didn't go unnoticed by Godric. "I wish you out of my area before dawn."
Godric ordered and Lorena nodded, blood tears starting to fall from her eyes as she was led out of the nest by Bill, everyone slowly starting to go back to what they had been doing before. "Are you okay?" Sookie asked as she helped Doe sit down on the couch, helping pull out some of the larger pieces from her shoulders. "I'll... I'll be fine." She said with a wince, noticing the blue liquid that rested on the glass in Sookie's hands. "I keep forgetting that your blood in blue..." Sookie whispered, trying to lighten the mood and Doe sighed, running her hand through her hair and watching as a few smaller pieces fell to her lap. "The vampires must be going crazy right now..." She whispered and Sookie looked up from her friend, seeing multiple eyes glued to the back of the mermaid.
"Maybe we should get you out of here..." Sookie offered and Doe nodded, allowing the blonde to help her stand up and led her around the couch. "Luke? What the fuck, man?" Jason suddenly started, catching his sister's attention. The two women looked to the entrance of the house and saw that Jason was standing with the same man that had held Doe when they were kidnapped. "Stay away from me, Stackhouse. Got nothing to say to you." Luke said as he pushed back to the blonde male, Jason not giving up. "What the hell are you doing?" He asked as Doe moved in front of Sookie, Eric making sure to keep his eyes on the two females. "Just go." He whispered to Jason, turning his eyes to the large group of vampires and humans. "Excuse me, everyone. If I could have your attention." He spoke loudly, everyone stopping to turn and look at the vampire with confusion, Godric slowly standing up from his chair. "My name is Luke McDonald. I'm a member of the Fellowship of the Sun. And I have a message for you all from Reverend Steve Newlin." He said as he opened up his jacket, a bomb tied around his body with stakes and silver chains. "Everybody run!" Doe quickly shouted as she pushed Sookie over the couch, Luke pressing the button and everyone only seeing black and red...
"I don't know how it got this way." Lorena said as she continued to cry, Bill and her standing on the driveway of the nest. "I can't help it that I still love you. You know I do. But now it's become nothing but a constant humiliation." She explained and Bill only watched her. "The pain that you suffer you've inflicted upon yourself." He told her and she only cried harder, looking up at her progeny. "When will we see each other again?" She softly asked. "Never." He answered. "We're immortal. Our paths are bound to cross eventually." She said with hope and he softly growled. "It doesn't matter if we ever meet again. You may be immortal, Lorena, but you are dead to me." He snapped and she gasped, her tears still falling. "I wish you hadn't said that." She said, turning her back to him and vanishing into the night. With a heavy sigh, Bill ran his hand through his hair and prepared to move back inside, but a large explosion from within the nest stopped him. "Sookie...!" He shouted as he used his vampire speed to rush inside, not noticing the two humans making their way to the house with cross bows in hand...
Pain... That was all the mermaid could feel at that moment... The smell of blood an burned flesh invading her nostrils as screaming voices echoed around her. 'My... my chest...' Doe thought as she tried to open her eyes, but the smoke made it hard to keep them open for too long. "Ugh..." With a heavy groan, the mermaid looked down at her chest and almost cried out in fear at the large stake that was lodged between her rib cage; her blue blood forming a puddle around her body. "Sookie? Sookie?" She heard Bill call as he rushed around the destroyed nest, finding his girlfriend underneath Eric's body, both facing up at him. "Bill." She started, Eric groaning as he looked over at Bill. "I've covered her, she's only stunned. Get the humans." He ordered and the two vampires stared through the broken glass doors, seeing the two humans hold their crossbows starting to run. Bill's fangs gleamed as he growled and rushed out of the room after Luke's companions, not noticing Doe withering in agony on the floor. 'Someone... Please...' She thought as she coughed, blood splattering across her lips and chin. 'Help me...'
Isabel and Godric moved back into the living room from the hall and Godric solemnly scanned the room as Isabel made her way through, checking the dead and helping pull stakes and silver out of the alive vampire's bodies. "I can't breathe, you weigh a ton." Sookie mumbled as she pushed Eric off of her body, quickly standing up and ignoring the blonde that covered her outfit. "Jason? Jason?" Sookie called as she searched for her brother, Jason coughing as he pushed a few fall pieces of wood off of his body by the fireplace. "Yeah, okay." He said as he pushed himself up, looking around the room and spotting his sister standing next to a fallen Eric. "Uh-oh." Sookie started with worry as she looked at Eric, who seemed to be in a deep pain. "Had to shield you."
"Well, hurry and heal yourself, what are you waiting for."
"Can't. Silver."
"I'll go get Godric." She started in a panic as she tried to stand up from next to Eric, but the blonde was held back by his hand on her wrist. "No time. Suck it out." He begged and she stared at him with disgust. "Eric, I can't, it's too gross and it's you." She said and he released her hand, his head falling back to the floor as he groaned. "Oh, son of a mother- Ugh." She groaned as she got on top of Eric's body, straddling him as she started to suck a bullet from his neck, spitting it out. "Got it." She said and he groaned again. "The other one." He moaned and she scoffed. "You're kidding me. Ugh." Sookie grumbled as she started sucking from his chest, the blonde not noticing the smirk on the male vampires lips. "What are you doing?" Bill asked when he arrived back into the house to Sookie and Eric, watching as his girlfriend spit out another bullet while Eric was relaxing. "I sucked silver out Eric's chest and saved his life, even though I really didn't want too."
"She was superb." Eric said as he leaned back on his arm that was resting behind his head, Bill's eyes drooping when he realized what Eric had done. "Eric was in no danger." He said and Sookie looked over at him with wide eyes. "He... What?" She asked before staring down at the blonde who shrugged. "A tiny falsehood." He said and Bill continued, not able to look at his girlfriend. "He was already healing. The bullets would have pushed themselves out. This way, he's forced you to drink his blood."
"No. No, no."
"You're connected. He'll be able to sense your emotions."
"You big lying A-hole!" She screamed and Eric chuckled, looking over at Bill. "Bill, you're right, I believe I can sense her emotions. Sweet." He said and Sookie hit her fists against his chest before running into Bill's arms, Eric using his vampire speed to quickly get back on his feet, rubbing his wrists. "I'll never do anything for you again. Monster." She said and Bill glared over at his friend as he spoke softly to her. "It's not your fault." He soothed and Eric looked up from his wrist at the couple, not expression on his face. "I think I'm gonna cry." He taunted and Sookie glared at him, not noticing that Jason had made his way over to her.
"Sook, where's Doe?" He suddenly asked and Sookie's eyes widened, a loud gasp leaving her lips as she pulled out of Bill's arms. "Doe! Doe! Where are you?" She cried out as she moved around the room of ceiling pieces and bodies looking for her friend. "H-here..." Doe tried to speak when her name was called, but only coughed again, her eyes starting to water from the pain. Only one person being able to hear her through all the commotion. "Dorian." Godric started as he appeared at her side by the back of the destroyed living room, Sookie's eyes shooting over to the two immediately. "Doe!" Sookie cried as they moved over to her, the blonde falling to her knees. "Oh god... Oh god oh god..." She rambled as she stared at the stake in between her ribs, her blood pouring from the heavy wound. "Are... are you okay...?" Doe softly asked her friend who chuckled sadly, tears falling from her eyes. "I'm fine! But we need to worry about you!"
"I'm... f-fine..." She started, another cough leaving her throat with more blood falling from her lips. "Dorian." Godric spoke with authority, starting to roll up his sleeve and her eyes widened. "N-no!" She cried out and he gently shushed her, bringing his wrist to his lips. "You have to, or you will die." He told her and she whimpered, shaking her head at his words. "Damn it, Dorian. Listen to him." Eric snapped, bringing his own wrist to his mouth. "Or would you rather me force it on you?" He growled and she narrowed her eyes at him, Godric looking over at his progeny who had been determinedly looking at the mermaid. "...F-fine..." She muttered and Godric nodded, pushing his sleeve back down. "Eric, give her yours." He ordered and all eyes turned to the older vampire, Doe's eyes almost popping out of her skull. "W-what...?"
"Are you sure?" Eric asked his maker who slowly nodded his head, turning down to Doe who looked frightened at the thought of drinking Eric's blood. "You must drink, Dorian." He told her, watching as she shook her head as Eric bit into his wrist, Sookie looking between the two vampires. "Γλυκιά μου, σας παρακαλώ, για μένα." He whispered and tears formed within her eyes as she shut them, giving him a slow nod. "Good. Eric." With help from Godric, Doe was able to sit up and Eric placed his wrist to her lips, his eyes locking with hers. "Drink, Dorian." He ordered and she nodded, placing her lips onto his wrist and beginning to drink as he gripped onto the stake. "One, two, three." He counted as he tugged the stake from her body, a painful groan leaving her lips before she used her hands to grip onto his arm and continuing drinking. "Good girl." Eric spoke with a smirk, dropping the stake on the floor before reaching up to her face and placing his palm on her cheek. "Min flicka."
He spoke in Swedish and Godric narrowed his eyes at his progeny, Doe slowly releasing his wrist and taking deep breaths, his red blood mixing with her own that had gripped down her chin. "Come." He said as he helped Doe up from the floor, the mermaid almost falling over from the dizzy spell she had. "Eric." Godric called and the blonde vampire nodded, lifting her into his arms and moving with his maker into the middle of the room where Isabel tossed a piece of flesh off of her shoulder. "Who's dead?" Godric asked and she spoke. "Stan, Paolo, Catherine, and two human companions." She explained and the sheriff nodded, looking around all the panicking humans and vampires.
"Everyone, please." She called loudly, but was ignored, Jason now speaking for her. "Hey. Y'all listen up." He shouted and suddenly all eyes were on them, Godric nodded in gratitude for Jason. "They may come back. Go to the Hotel Carmilla, they've been alerted, security is in place." He announced and all the vampires nodded, grabbing their human companions and one by one starting to exit the nest. Bill and Sookie left next along with Jason while Eric stayed and watched as his maker sadly looked around his destroyed home, a look of despair in his eyes. The blonde continued to silently watch his maker until they both locked eyes, Godric nodding and moving out of the room, Eric right behind him with Doe resting in his arms.
