The Viking is coming. The lyrics posted near the bottom of the chapter are quite important I think. The lyrics are from "Natives" by "Blink-182". I have put when its best to listen to the song.

LYRICS ARE IN BOLD ITALICS.

Chapter 36

Pam POV

Fucking fairies. That is all I can say on the matter.

"Pamela?" A familiar voice croaked out. My skin sizzled and I struggled to keep from screaming out in pain. I could tell that I was completely naked as the silver burned my flesh close the bone. The wall that I was pinned to was made of pure silver as my skin unfortunately found out. The smell of another vampire's flesh burning was evident in the air, fuelling my anger

"Godric?!" Claudine and I both whispered, trying to keep quiet.

"Claudine! What are you both doing here!" He whispered back, obviously angry.

"Rescue mission went bad, your fairy isn't as good as she says with magic."

"Godric I can't see a thing."

"Neither can I for that matter." Trying to feel Eric through the bond I found it to be empty. Like he was dead.

"Trust me that's a good thing. And Pamela I believe they have put a spell on the room, making it dark enough so even fucking vampires can't see." Godric must be angry. He never curses.

Trying to hide the pain in my voice as the silver burned deeper into my exposed skin I replied. "Godric I can't feel him." I whimpered. I couldn't hide my emotional pain from him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine. You being here has given me hope, I thought he had met the true death but now… I have hope. Claudine are you in pain?"

"No…" She sounded almost like she was shivering. "Just drained… my spark… it's being taken from me." She whispered.

That can't be good.

"Claudine I will find us a way out of here, mark my words. Just hold on, fight the force that is taking from you. You are strong. Do you hear me? You are the most beautiful, loyal, strong, intelligent, courageous woman I have ever met. Do not give up on me now. Can you move at all?" Godric's voice was now not faltering, it seemed he had found some hidden strength just for Claudine.

"Y-y-yes"

"Come close to me, follow my voice."
Hearing a shuffling of feet I presumed Claudine had made it to my maker's maker. "Now find my wrist, I need you to drink from me Claudine. It should help you fight the magic that's taking from you. Pamela… tell me how you got here."

Sighing I began relaying the story of how we fucked up and ended up in this shit hole, trying to hide the pain in my voice as I continued to burn, the silver wall now touching my bones

Flashback

"Tell me what you know of the vampire held here." Claudine's voice was calm yet instructive.

"The fanger is old, Reverend Newlin say's he has killed millions, he deserves to burn. And burn he will."

"Where is Re-" Claudine continued before I cut her off.

"I smell fairy." I hissed, turning around, fangs bared. Coming into view, two tall muscular fairies that failed at the badass appearance began shooting balls of green light at us. Using my vampire speed I dodged out of the way, thank god for fangtasia's yearly dodge ball games, otherwise there would be no way I could dodge all these ball thingy's. Claudine appeared to be fighting back by shooting blue balls of light back at them however she was too slow and weak to keep it up as the balls the was throwing got smaller and smaller with each one. Hissing, got ready to charge towards the fairies hoping to kill them before they did damage to Godric's fairy however I didn't notice the silver chain propelling down ontop of us, coated in lemon juice along with what I presumed was iron fixings. Both howling in pain, I felt everything go black.

End of flash back.

"Pamela I need you to do something."

"Anything." I whispered back with full sincerity.

"I need you to retreat back into your mind. It's hard to explain how to bu-"

Again I ended up cutting someone off. "Eric taught me how earlier. I can't fully, but well enough to try and prevent them to not enter my mind. Godric…. Why have you not?"

"I was too late, he now has access into my mind. Pamela you need to do this, I do not wish it upon you to experience his control as I have." His voice was filled with sadness and grief. This fairy fucker is going to feel a world of pain when Eric gets here.

Shit! Eric! I forgot to text him where we were. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Well done Pamela. You have just kissed goodbye your allowance for the next year.

Their whispers were soon muted as I began to retreat to the smallest of places in my mind. Silence. Utter silence. That was until I felt my mind propelled into the unknown. What the fuck? A scene began to create infront of me. Eric and Sookie were sat in the office in Fangtasia in a heated discussion about something as I stood in the doorway. Everything completely normal. Had I dreamt the last few hours? Who cares, my maker and his bonded is here. Walking up to the chair behind Sookie I placed my manicured hand on my waist and raised an eyebrow.
"What are you two love birds talking about? Me I presume. I know I look delectable but you don't have to talk about it behind my back." I winked. But only then did I notice the serious looks on their faces.

"Why are you always here?" Sookie asked standing up
"What do you mean? I own part of this bar. Eric?" I asked. Completely confused to what they were talking about.

"Not anymore. As Sherriff I have taken your rights to this establishment. You have disappointed me Pam. You are a failure of a child, a disgrace to vampires, I can barely look at you. As your maker I release you. Never come here again, you sicken me. You're lucky I don't kill you, the only thing stopping me is the fact that Sookie likes my shirt."

"Bu- Eric you cant. Tell me what I have done." I sunk to my knees as blood tears ran down my face. What have I done to make my maker hate me so much?

"Leave." Sookie said, venom in her voice. "Do not contact us, do not find us, do not approach us."

The pain I felt overwhelmed me as I saw the hatred in their eyes. Their words cut me like a knife over and over again.

And then there was silence. The scene faded. It wasn't real.

Yet the pain of the words still hurt, the look on their faces still burned in my mind.

I guess Godric's words of warning made no difference.

Fucking fairies.

Sookie POV

Opening my eyes, I was instantly alerted. My vampire senses kicked in as I smelt a fairy.

"Show your-self." I hissed, jumping off my bed, ready to pounce. My inner clock told me that it was several hours ago after sunset.

"Cousin. Do not fear. It is I." Claude's head popped around the corner as he slowly entered my room, his hands held up in surrender. Sighing, I stood straight, forgetting about my defensive stance. Claude and I had met briefly in the Fae Realm and let's just say he's a tad vain…

"Claude what are you doing here? And where is Claudine?"

"Niall sent me to protect you. And Breandan has her."

"One, why do I need protecting and two, who the fuck is Breandan." My mind was going into overdrive with situations on what could have happened. Surely Claudine hasn't followed through with her stupid plan? If she has that means he's got Pam as well… Eric

"Pamela and Claudine tracked Breandan's scent to a Fellowship of the Sun headquarters in Dallas, they left Godric's second in command Isobel to stand guard as they entered the building. That is the only strong evidence we are aware of, after that, what we saw in the heart is murky. It seems they were silvered and covered in lemon juice, but apart from that we know nothing. Breandan is one of the most powerful fae of our time, he rivals Niall and no one knows who is stronger of the two. He seeks to destroy Niall and his cause, he also seeks to kill all those who mix with humans and other supes, creating hybrids."

"People like me."
"Precisely. Niall just sent me here to keep an eye on you, make sure you don't do anything stupid."

"Who has he sent with him to get Claudine and Pam?"

"Five warriors plus Dermot. Sookie your grandmother is quite the little spit fire."

Groaning I hid my face with my hands. "What has she done?"

"Apart from slap Niall infront of many witnesses, told him off and told him how to run the fae realm, nothing much really."

"Great just what I need. Listen, Claude… Aren't you mad that you can't fight for your sister?" Holding his hand I looked at him with pity in my eyes. I hate to trick people but this time it cannot be helped.

"I am." He said, his eyes tearing up.

"Honey you can go, I've got lightning, fire, wind, and water powers, no one can get me. Plus no one even knows I'm alive really!"

"No… Niall will kill me." Seating him on the sofa, I rubbed his arm, hoping to comfort him.

"Leave Niall to me." I whispered, trying to smile.

"Sookie I can't'-"

"Shhh honey, trust me, she needs you, if there's one thing I know about Claudine, it's that she loves her family. I also know you won't forgive your-self if something happens to her and you're not there."

Rising from his seat, he stood in front of me. "You're right. Sookie, please stay safe. The Viking will run me through if you get hurt, and not in the way I would enjoy." My jaw dropped from his comment on Eric's…. you know what. I guess Claude will always be Claude. Smiling weakly, he popped away.

Pulling my cell phone out, I began ringing Eric.

"Sookie?"

"Eric! They've got Pam and Claudine, they're at the Fellowship of the Sun's HQ, Niall and a bunch of warriors have apparently gone to rescue them. I've just sent Claude off there as well."

"I'm two minutes away from their HQ now, Sookie please don't do anything, two out of three people that I care deeply for could be dead because I have no way of feeling them through our bonds. Don't do anything stupid. Thankyou for informing me about Niall."
"I promise you I wont do anything stupid. And its Breandan a powerful fairy who have got them. Eric please just be careful. I know there is nothing that can stop you from going in there and getting them because if it was Gran or you or Jason in there, I'd be doing exactly the same thing. Just come back to me ok? We haven't even begun our lives together and if you fuck it up by dying Eric Northman, I will kill you."

I faintly heard a chuckle at his end of the line and a whooshing noise, In which I guess meant he had landed. "Sookie I need to go….. I love you."

Butterflies erupted in my tummy and I swear my heart skipped a beat. "I love you too." And then the line went dead.

Claude's and Eric's instructions kept going round and round in my head… "Stay safe…" "Don't do anything stupid…" "Stay safe…" "Don't do anything stupid…" "Stay safe…" "Don't do anything stupid…" "Stay safe…" "Don't do anything stupid…"

Dumb fairy. Dumb vampire.

The safest place for me is with Eric, it's plainly obvious. And do they seriously think I'm just going to stand by and let them fight this alone? Hell no.

Changing my clothes to my fighting gear, I popped away with my bow and arrow in hand. But as soon as my feet touched the ground, I was pulled back by the unknown, and I felt my energy quickly draining from my body.

Eric POV

As I landed on the building of the FOTS HQ, I smelt the strong smell of magic lingering in the air. Gripping hold of Haldis my broad sword from my Viking days, luckily It was made of iron; which will make killing the fairy fuckers that much easier, I prepared my mind for battle.

It saddened me to my core that Pamela hadn't contacted me and went in so blindly. At least I had someone who I could rely on. Isobel had texted me shortly after I sensed the excitement from Pam. I was already heading in her direction since I kept an eye on my personal Pam GPS so I wasn't too far behind.

But why were a hate group such as the FOTS working with the fae? Hearing a pop, I turned around fast on the balls of my feet, sword at the ready to destroy the fairy.

"Stop! I am Claude! Sookie's cousin." His sword met mine as we began duelling. He was no match for me but I allowed our duel to continue, just in case he was telling the truth.

"Prove it" I snarled, fangs fully down, I moved efficiently enough to have him pinned to the ground, at mercy to my sword.

"I was there you fool when you fucking entered the fae realm by accident like fifty years ago!" Shit he's right.

Snapping my fangs back I removed my sword from his neck and rose back to my full height. " I can smell fae blood." I said, trying to cover up my embarrassment of forgetting his presence there that unfortunate night.

"Niall, Dermott and his warriors have come to find Claudine."

"The perfect diversion. Claude come with me." Jumping down through the window I waited for him to jump also.
The area in which we landed was a plain bland staircase that led down into a pit of darkness. Slowly descending the stairs, I focused on the matter at hand. At the bottom of the stairs was a long and thin corridor that obviously hadn't been there when the FOTS bought the property. Like in the dreadful medieval times, flame torches lit up the dark tunnel, adding an eerie effect to the situation. As the tunnel ended we were faced with a door, as I reached for the handle, I was struck with an immense feeling of loss. Sookie. Our bond had been completely muted like Godric's and Pam's.

First Godric… then Pamela…. Now Sookie.

"They've got Sookie." I hissed. Pulling the door off it's hinges, I picked Claude up under my arm and sped through the continuing tunnel with my increasing vampire speed.

Reaching the dead end, the rest of the tunnel was in complete darkness, also not allowing us entrance with what I presumed was fae magic. Without even having to ask, the fairy began chanting, trying to remove the spells blocking our entrance. "This is only the beginning of a war…" The realisation hitting me.

"I have temporarily lifted the spell, but only for a short time. The spell will be automatically recast and I have no way of knowing when. However it can only be recast if a fairy is present in the area of question."

"Breandan will not of been fighting Niall's warriors. No rebel leader places themselves on the front line… no, they place themselves where it will hurt the enemy worse. They claim all the glory…."
"There is no time for this vampire!" Claude pressed. Nodding I grabbed him again and made our way deeper into the darkness.

Then it hit me. The strong smell of burning vampire flesh. My fangs rang down as I smelt not only my maker's blood but my progeny's too.

"Godric…" I called out into the darkness. "Claude bring us some light in here." Clicking his fingers, a bright ball of light erupted above us, bringing the scene into view. No more than twenty meters away from us was Godric and Pam, both pinned to a wall made of silver, positioned as if crucified. Both completely naked and no doubt burnt straight to the bone. Dangling around Pam's neck I noticed the anchor I gave Sookie. How did she get that? Sookie must have given it to her… she must have known that It would give Pam a sense of security.

"My child…" He whispered. Next to his body laid Claudine, worryingly still but thankfully not held down like the vampires present. Then my eyes shifted to Sookie. She was slightly hidden from view as the wall turned into a corner. She was also positioned if crucified and looked completely drained.

"Eric free Godric and Claudine first." Pam finally spoke. Her voice wasn't her usual drawl which only made me feel even more uneasy. Moving my way to Sookie, I tried to untie her binds but the silver prevented me from even touching her skin as silver covered the bindings. Hissing I tried to remove them however the silver was also encased in what I again presumed was fae magic. "Claude you need to get them out. Claudine's spark is nearly gone and Godric barely has any blood left in his system since he also fed Claudine. Take them and go!" By the end of her mini speech, her voice had begun to sound more Pam ish but it still lacked the confidence.
"I can only take two with me at a time, I don't have enough energy for more, not with all the magic I have been doing. I will come back for you though." Nodding, I returned to trying to get the bindings undone. Sookie still hadn't said anything. Finally I met her eyes just as the pop echoed through the room signalling Claude's exit. Unfortunately as Claude left, so did the ball of light, leaving us in complete darkness that even my vampire sight couldn't see through. Another loud pop echoed again through the room making me nearly jump. For over a thousand years, I have never been faced with complete darkness until now. And it made me uneasy.

"Claude?" I bellowed.

"Nope. Breandan." I clutched my sword, withdrawing it and taking a defensive position.

"Don't be a coward and hide in the dark. Fight me in the light so I can watch your face consort in pain as I slice your body open and you can watch me feast on your blood for dessert." I hissed into the darkness. After hearing worryingly a whimper and a click, a light similar to Claude's previous one lit up the room. Only this time there were large silver bars separating myself from Pamela, Sookie and the fairy I presumed was Breandan. His body was small and fat, also his lack of personal hygiene reminded me of times when the world was at its smelliest. Hair dark and ratty long, his eyes bore into mine as a smirk etched it's way across his disgusting face.

"Your wish is my command Viking" He spat. He held both Pam and Sookie suspended in the air as each of his hands gripped around their throats.

"Let. Them. Go." I hissed, poking my sword through the bars, aimed directly at the fairy. However as I did, I began to feel my sword heat up and sizzle. Bringing the weapon back and dropping it to the ground I began to think of ways that I could possibly get them out of this.

"Ah I see you have dropped your weapon. How very nice of you Mr Northman. For that I shall give you an act of kindness." Whispering under his breath, a swirl of dark blue and black appeared directly behind him. "Now Ladies, I have decided that I will only take one of you with me for future torture and ohh… maybe death? Yes definitely death. So it appears to be your lucky day!"

"How is it our lucky day you bastard?" Sookie hissed, finally talking.

"Language! Remember I could just as easily take both of you but no. I am taking only one." Dropping them harshly to the ground, he stepped back behind them both. "Eric may decide who is to come with me and when he has you simply step into this portal with me dear. Now you two be good girls and do as I say! Chop chop!" There was no doubt left in my mind that this fairy was indeed insane.

How was I to decide who was to die and who was to survive?

[A/N Best to listen now]

"Eric I need you to listen to me." Pam was the first to speak. Lifting my head up I met her eye. She was barely able to stand let alone also support Sookie who was definitely unable to stand. I presumed again that she had been drained of her spark. Trying to get a grip on my emotions, I let my-self feel numb. "This is not your decision. For over one hundred years I have walked this earth with the best companion a girl could ask for. You aren't just my maker, you're my best friend, my brother, my father, heck even my grandfather with all the bullshit you spew now and again. I wouldn't change anything that we have been through. A few months ago you met this pesky woman who changed everything you believed in. She did something I couldn't do or can ever do, she let the better man in you come into light and be who you truly are. For a millennia you have hidden behind that mask and you haven't even shown your complete self to Godric and yet within a few weeks you let your walls down and welcomed her with open arms. She is once in a life time Eric, I can not let you loose her. I will not let you loose her."

"I-" Before I could interrupt she stopped me.

I'm just a bastard child, Don't let it go to your head, I'm just a waste of your time, Maybe I'm better off dead. You turned us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde ,We'll have the time of our lives, Although we're dying inside. So let me go, go, So let me go, go, Just let me go, go , I'd rather go it alone. So let me go, go, So let me go, go, Just let me go, go. I'm never coming home

"No Eric let me speak. You and Sookie have a whole life ahead of you, and there is no place for me there. I think we have known that for a while now. It's time for me. I'm sorry for being such a fuck up of a progeny Eric, I know I drive you insane and it only fuels my need to annoy you even more. I wish I was the child you deserved but I wasn't, I was just a failure at it, trying to make your life a living hell. For that I am sorry. I hope in the future you find a child that is worthy of serving you. I love you Eric. Sookie, look after him for me."

"Pam wh- NO!"
"Just repaying an old debt Sookie. Remember when we got off that plane all so long ago? I told you I owed you. Enjoy life sweet cheeks" Don't start to panic for me, Cause I have nothing to lose. I am as bright as the sun; I burn up all that I choose.

Before I could protest, she fell back into the portal.

"PAMELA!" I roared as her body disappeared. "No…" I barely whispered. Sinking to my knees, I let a single blood tear fall.

"Well that was a very nice speech but I will be going, I think I might torture her for a bit before I give her the true death; cheerio!" I didn't even watch as Breandan disappeared after ….after….after her. The magic in the room disappeared along with Breandan, I could barely register the events that happened after that. Sookie and I some-how made it outside, although I cannot remember how but I predict I flew us out. Everything was just a blur.

As we were flying, my phone in my pocket vibrated and I picked it up, my whole body on autopilot (A/N pun not intended).

"Northman." My voice even sounded hollow, I just felt empty… complete emptiness.

"The magister called a meeting to inform us of the authorities decision. Bill Compton was to be made King however he didn't show up. Lorena doesn't know where he is either, she apparently can't track him through their bond and with you going AWOL as well the magister has accused you of killing Compton as Lorena cannot feel him through their bond at all. For now the Authority has decided that they will continue to run and rebuild the state but I think they are looking to give the kingdom to Judith Vardamon. Eric you need to leave and regroup, there is a bounty on your head, a high one. " Victor actually sounded worried for once which surprised me but not enough to pull me out of my trance.

"Judith is a child of Lorena's also…. Do not let her take the state. I will contact you when I have a plan." Ending the call I flew us following Niall's scent to where I knew he would be recovering. The smell of fae blood was strong. Very strong indeed but it still failed to pull me out of my trance.

Where the fudge was Niall and his almighty warriors? Will be explained in chapter 38 which will be released in 2 weeks after im back off holiday.

I really suck at death scenes and emotional stuff…. Sorry guys.

Please don't slaughter me. Just review nice stuff =]

Chapter 37 will be released tomorrow because I'm off to bed. Night!
