Chapter 25

Amber taps her leg impatiently while Eric stared at her like she was a new creature that he wants to research. That in a way she was but it didn't stop her from getting annoyed, "I'm not going to grow another head, Eric. So, talk."

Ford chuckles only for Jessica to elbow him.

"Hey,"

"Ford," Amber said, warningly.

"But-" he tries to say only for Amber to shoot him a glare making him huff and cross his arms like a child.

She turns back to Eric, "Well?"

"Her reason of wanting Sookie is to replace her cousin who is also part Fae and it's not only her who is involve in this but the vampire authority too." Eric said.

Godric raises an eyebrow and said, "Are you sure? I know they are young but they can't be that easily manipulated unless someone is threatening them."

Eric nodded.

"That means they are capturing fairies in the other states and maybe around the world?" Sookie asked.

Eric runs a hand through his hair something that Amber noted he did when stressed.

"But we still don't know why they want fairies," Pam said opening the floor with theories from Eric, Sookie, Godric, and Jessica except for Ford was watching Amber who bites her bottom lip and shakes her head.

He places a hand on her leg and gave it a squeeze.

"You okay?" he said, softly but loud enough to catch everyone's attention who stopped their conversation to look at Amber sitting between Godric and Ford.

"Amber?" Godric said, searching her face for any discomfort only for her to turn away and stand up letting Ford's hand fall on the seat.

"I'm not fine because they are not simply capturing fairies but milking them like cows because their blood can give vampires immunity to the sun. But they also need something else to keep those vampires under control." Amber said.

"You make it sound as if they are creating an army using vampires as soldiers," Sookie said, in disbelief.

"Because that's what they are trying to do," she closes her eyes as she said, "make more people like me."

Sookie shakes her head, "That can't be…" Amber serious gaze bored into hers.

"You mean he can," Eric started to say only for Ford to nod, "Yes, I walk during the day without combusting but that took a lot of training to accomplish even before the surgeries. That only made it last longer." He explained.

"The bond about following orders like maker and child was caused by that surgery?" Sookie asked.

"We already had a connection which was only intensified with that operation." Amber said.

Ford had to look away from Godric who narrowed his eyes at him when Amber said connection.

"Using blood from a Fae skips that process allowing them more time to figure out the control part," Pam said.

"If they figure out the control part might be in trouble," Eric said and Amber nodded.

"That's why I think I will need to leave Bon Temps to find out more," Amber said.

"You want to go straight into the mouth of the shark?" Pam asked with crossed arms.

"Yeah and to put my unwanted rank to use that's unless any of you have a better idea on how to prevent this?" she asked, glancing around the quiet room.

"Figures," she said with a sigh, and turns only for Godric to stand in her way.

"Don't think you are doing this alone," he said, sternly which only made her smile, "I can try but I know you guys will either way." she said and gave him a peck on the lips.
