A Disclaimer: I don't own any True Blood characters, just the Ocs.

A/N I wanted to let you guys know I added more stuff to the previous chapter if you would like to go back and skim through it. I included what happened to Eric in the bathroom.

True Blood

A Mother's Unconditional Love

Chapter 20

Bill and Jessica stared at Caleb in astonishment. While Pam and Eric were on the verge of tearing the boy's throat out.
"Don't you think, mentioning that those people were descendants of Antonia de Logroño's bloodline, is kind of an important detail!?" Pam demanded angrily as the twins played quietly at her feet.

"I would have! Caleb protested, "But you came in guns blazing before I could! I was trying to figure out how to tell you without getting caught! Not many people know that!"

"Gee," Pam snarled, "How bout, oh by the way, these two are decants of Antonia de Logroño. Sound's pretty simple to me!"

"We don't have time for this!" Eric roared, "We need a plan!"

"Eric's right." Bill said, "How did the authority find her and how do we get in?"

Pam grabbed Eric's hand and squeezed it in alarm, "Eric, you don't think we led them to her! Do you?"

"It's possible, and we won't need to."Caleb interrupted as he looked down at his feet. " They are probably getting her ready to leave as we speak."

"For where?" Pam demanded as Caleb bit his lip. Swallowing hard, he met Eric's stony gaze, "The Arena Mortem."

Jessica looked at Bill who translated in a low voice, "The Death Arena."

Caleb turned his attention to Jessica before she could ask, " Its an underground reign. It participates in the selling of any and all supernatural beings. Its specialty is cage fights between a 'normal' supernatural being versus one that they juiced up or altered somehow. Some of the captured never make it to the arena, they are just being sold off to the highest bidder. Normally the creatures that have warrior blood, such as Lyssa's Viking blood, coursing through their veins, are the favorites to get tossed into the arena. However, that has not been always been the case. There are exceptions."

"Her name is ADELAIDE!" Pam spat angrily, "Now how do we get my daughter back?"

"We go to the Arena." Caleb said, "but first you must dress the part or you will not be allowed to enter. Glamour won't get you in this time."

After dropping the kids off with Sookie, the adults dressed and readied themselves for entering the darkest part of the supernatural world.

-With Adelaide-

Adelaide stared at her reflection in the mirror. The white dress hung low and a strap kept slipping from her shoulder; it was looser in certain areas and fit well in others as the dress hung down to her ankles. Her hands trembled as she stared at her reflection. She slowly ran an unsteady brush through her hair, as Gabriel knocked.

"It's time to go Lyssa. He is not a very patient man."

"Ok." Adelaide whimpered as she placed her brush on the bed, turning around, she stumbled to the doorway. The tears threatened as she slowly opened the door at a snails pace. She was greeted by Gabriel, who leaned against the wall across from her. "You look beautiful."

"Thanks." She muttered as she stared down at her bare feet. Gabriel draped his jacket, that was several sizes too big, over her shoulders as he hugged her close with one arm. "It'll all be over soon, Lyssa. I promise."

With that Gabriel, guided Adelaide along the corridor, down the two flights of stairs and towards the front door of Midnight Fusion, where Krystal stood waiting. Adelaide forced a smile as Krystal lifted Adelaide's chin so that their eyes met, "It's all going to be alright sweets."

Adelaide could feel the eyes of everyone who worked at the club upon her as she allowed Krystal over the threshold and towards the awaiting car. Once she made followed Gabriel inside of the car, only bumping her head once, Krystal slipped a blindfold over Adelaide's eyes. "Now just relax honey, it'll all be over soon."

Tears trickled down Adelaide's cheeks as the car jerked forward, and pulled out onto the street.

"Now, now." Krystal said, dabbing Adelaide's damp cheeks with a cloth, "Don't start that. We wouldn't want to ruin your pretty dress with blood stains now would we?"

Adelaide slowly shook her head, she felt Gabriel's large hand cover her own clenched fist, giving it a light squeeze. "Breathe, Lyssa. Just breathe."

She did as Gabriel instructed, but it didn't help the ever expanding knot in her stomach, that made her feel as though she was going to vomit. Memories of her family flashed repeatedly through her mind, it was so vivid she could almost smell her father's throne in Fangtasia and almost hear the ghost of her mother's laugh. Gripping her fist tighter, she bit her lip, fighting back her tears that threatened to fall once again.

How had she gotten here? What had gone so wrong? Why couldn't she have told her parents the truth? That's what she should of done. Told them the truth, told them the moment she discovered what had happened? Who told, even if they hadn't meant to. Maybe her parents could have come up with a better plan. Why did she choose to take this on? She just wanted to be with her parents. To be with her siblings. All she wanted to do was go home, but it was too late. She was trapped, in a plan that she only recently figured out she hadn't thought all the way through. Now there was no going back.

When the car breaks squeaked to a halt, Adelaide went rigid. Had they arrived?

"Keep your eyes closed." Krystal instructed as she slipped the blindfold off Adelaide's head. She of course did as Krystal instructed, she felt Krystal lavish her face in some sort of makeup before putting the blindfold back over her eyes. "That'll have to do."

Gabriel's strong fingers wound their way around around Adelaide's upper arm, as he helped her slide from the car. The cold air sent shivers down her spine as she blindly followed Krystal and Gabriel down into the depths of the supernatural world.

There you go everyone! There's this chapter! Can you guys help me decide what happens next, will Adelaide end up in the Arena then sold off (if she survives?) Or will she be one of the few exceptions who never enters the Arena, Viking blood or no? I know what I want to follow but I can't decide! How are Pam and Eric going to deal with either scenario? Will they make it in time? Who is the one who told the authority? Can you guess? Until next time, Please Review and have a great day!
