"Hadley what the fuck are you doing!" I all but screamed at my cousin.
"I am ending it once and for all. Eric fucking Northman had no fucking right to try to steal you away from Sophie Anne LeClerq – the one true rightful Queen of the great state of Louisiana" she said, and then turned around to finish the job that she started.
However, before she got the chance to pick up the stake once again, I had pounced on her and tried to grab it so that she couldn't do any damage with it, and the shock of it took the both of us to the floor, causing a loud crash, as I wrestled with Hadley on the floor.
But Hadley just wasn't going to give up at all, and she eventually started throwing punches on me, and tried to get me off of her. I was damned if I was going to take that lying down – especially after I had caught her trying to kill my boyfriend – my man with the fucking leg of a kitchen chair, so I will admit to slugging a few of my own punches in there even to the point of breaking Hadley's nose, causing blood to go spurting out all over the place.
"What in the hell is going on in here!" Gran all but shouted from the doorway.
"I caught this bitch here trying to put a stake in Eric" I said, indicating towards the piece of wood that was now lying half way across the room.
"Somebody should have put a fucking stake in him a long time ago. I was just trying to do a fucking service to humanity" she growled at me, and then tried to throw me off of her – since I was now straddling her waist, and I had her arms pinned above her head.
I guess having all of Eric's blood inside of me, really was making a big difference – especially since he was a whole lot older than any of the vampires that Hadley had surely been drinking from.
"Hadley, how dare you behave in such a way!" Gran said, anger practically rolling off of her as each word came out of her mouth.
"That bastard deserves to be staked for what he did to my Queen!" Hadley practically screamed in reply.
"I have had enough of your behaviour, Hadley Delahoussaye" Gran said, marching into the room, bending down and grabbing Hadley by the hair.
"Get up, Sookie" Gran said, and I did without any further questions – there was no way in hell that I was going to mess with Gran right now. She was liable to rip my head off. Gran then quickly pulled Hadley to her feet by the hair, and then proceeded to drag Hadley out of the room.
"How dare you try to kill Eric – your cousin's boyfriend – who by the way has saved her live on more than one occasion! There is no way that we can ever come back from this, Miss!" Gran said, dragging Hadley out of the room.
"Let go of me you fucking bitch!" Hadley screamed at Gran, but that only made her hold on tighter.
"I have the unfortunate pleasure of being your grandmother, Hadley. And you will give me the respect that I deserve simply because I hold that position. Do I make myself clear?" Gran demanded.
"You are no grandmother of mine!" she growled, and then I heard Hadley scream out from the bottom of the stairs. I presumed that it was because Gran had finally snapped and beat up Hadley or else she had tugged on her hair even tighter than what she had been before.
However, I didn't make any moves at all to find out whether or not my assessment of the situation was true or not, and instead I just sat on my ass at the bottom of the bed, with my legs out in front of me, bent at the knee and my elbows were resting on my both of my knees, with my hands nestled in the top of my hair, and I was looking down at the ground, my head slightly bowed, while I tried to get my breath back and just simply allowed my brain absorb and take in the whole situation.
My cousin had tried to kill my boyfriend.
Oh. My. God. Hadley had tried to kill – as in send to the final death – Eric.
And then the tears hit me. How could Hadley do such a thing to me – like I know we haven't been close since we eventually found her at the Palace the last time that we had been to visit.
"Sookie … what … whats happening" Eric said, sitting straight up in the bed and staring straight at me.
"Hadley tried to stake you baby" I said.
"Why… what? How?" he asked.
"Baby, I will tell you all about it whenever you wake up properly at sunset" I said, sniffling all my tears away, and wiping my eyes on the sleeve of the robe that I was still wearing, even though it was almost completely covered in Hadley's blood.
"Come back to bed with me lover" he said, rather groggily just as blood began to drip from his ears and mouth.
"Okay" I said, and then shrugged out of the silky dressing gown – dumping it on the floor, before climbing into the bed, only this time I put my head on Eric's chest, wrapping my arms around his stomach and back while he wrapped his arms around my back, pulling me tightly against him, and the both of us fell back asleep within seconds, and whenever Gran appeared at the door once again a few moments later – at least I thought it was Gran – she graciously didn't come in any further but just simply turned away and left the two of us in peace.
So … what do we think? Review to give me your thoughts …
