Sookie's POV

I woke up and it was way too early. I knew I'd have to find some time today to take a nap. Tonight we were moving in on the Fellowship of the Sun and I knew it would be a long night.

I headed downstairs. Since I was up I figured I may as well have a cup of coffee. When I got down there the coffee was already made. I found Amelia in the media room watching reruns of Charmed on TNT.

"Good morning, Amelia." "Very good morning, Sookie!" She said with a huge smile on her face. "Amelia, what did you do? You are in way too good of a mood this morning!" "Sookie, I slept with Lars last night. I can't believe I did it."

Amelia slept with Lars. I couldn't believe it either. Since I've known Amelia, she's entertained a bit, but never so soon after meeting someone. I guess I really can't talk though, I slept with him too and I had only known him for maybe a day.

"Amelia, I don't know what to say to that." "Neither do I Sookie. I normally don't sleep with people so soon after meeting them, but with him it's just different. There is something about him. You know he was my first vampire." "I thought you were with Pam, Amelia." "No, I wasn't. We just made out a little and hung out a lot. We never had sex."

Amelia and I sat there for a while talking. She explained how her and Lars just clicked. How they have a lot in common and how there was something about him that made her completely comfortable with him. I told her to watch her back and not to get too involved. He was a vampire and he would be going back to London in a couple of weeks. She told me that she was aware of that and had already thought about it. She said her decision was to just live in the moment and enjoy it while it lasted. I told her she had my support.

Around noon we decided to go out to the pool. We took our spots on our floating lounges and floated around for about two hours talking, laughing and smoking a little. Once we got out of the pool, I decided it was time for my nap. Amelia decided to take a nap as well, since she was now entertaining a vampire. She said, "Sookie, do you think I should go back in there with Lars or should I go into my own room?" I didn't know what to tell her so I said, "Amelia, that's a decision you have to make for yourself. I can't tell you what to do." She said, "I'll go to my own room. If Lars really respects me he will come to me when he gets up." "Amelia, I believe that's the smartest thing I've ever heard you say." I hugged her and headed up to my own room.

I took off my wet bathing suit and crawled into bed with Eric. I was asleep in no time at all.

****

I woke up with Eric standing over me. "Lover, you need to get up we have to go." I didn't want to get up or go, but I knew I had to. I got up, brushed my hair, and pulled on some clothes.

We got downstairs and Eric said, "You need to eat quickly. I made you a can of soup. It's on the counter." I realized as I was eating that the house was empty and Eric and I were the only ones there. "Eric, where's Amelia and Lars?" "They have gone to Bon Temps. Lars said he was going to stay with Amelia for a while." Wow, I thought to myself. He was a nice guy and Eric had told me he really liked Amelia, but he just didn't seem like serious boyfriend material.

Eric said, "He told me that he really respects Amelia and that they have a connection he has had with no other. She may be the one for him. I have never seen him act this way over a woman before."

Stunned at what I was hearing I finished my soup. I didn't have time to really think about this anymore. Eric and I had business to take care of. Business that could mean our deaths. We headed out to the car and left for Fangtasia. This time our body guards did not follow us. Eric had told them that they were to remain here and if we were not back by dawn that they were to go back to Baton Rouge.

The ride to Fangtasia was silent. Too silent. Nothing but worry and fear were travelling between Eric and I through the bond. We were both worried for each other and feared the worst.

Upon arriving at Fangtasia we entered through the front door. There was a sign on the door saying that the club would be closed this evening and would reopen at seven tomorrow. The room was full of vampires. As Eric and I walked in they all bowed to us. That didn't happen often because there were usually humans around, but since this was an all-vamp affair they all showed us respect for being their king and queen.

We took a seat and Pam went over the plan. She said that I was to go in first. I was to get close enough that I could hear how many were inside and if there were any vampires in there as well. I was to then fall back to the others and let them know what I had found.

If there were vampires inside then they would storm the warehouse, take out the Fellowship and release the vampires. Once they were to safety, they would clean up the mess by burning down the warehouse.

Sounded easy enough. Eric said, "Sookie, I do not want you to be in the way of danger. Please, after you have listened and reported back to us, go back to the car and wait for me there." I agreed. I definitely didn't want to be a part of the killing.

We all headed out to our cars and drove until we were about a block from the warehouse. The warehouse was in a secluded part of town and there was really nothing around it other than other warehouses. By this time of the evening there would not be many people around other than the occasional bum. This should be fairly easy and we should not be spotted.

I walked until I was right across the street from the warehouse in question. I let my guard down and began to listen. I could hear many thoughts coming from inside. God will punish those vamps. They are so unnatural. Why do they think they are better than us? They will all eventually meet the sun. God will show them!

I focused a bit to rein in what I was hearing. I realized there were only about fifteen people in there. I also heard two voids. Thalia and Maxwell Lee were definitely in there. I had done my part so I began to walk back to the cars. When I arrived back I told Pam and Eric that they were indeed in there along with about fifteen humans.

They gathered their troops and left. I was alone waiting at the cars and had no clue what was going on. I had been waiting for what seemed like an eternity, but had only really been about an forty-five minutes. I thought back to what had happened in Dallas and how Eric had told me that when the vamps entered the Fellowship's church, they all ran and allowed the vamps to come right in and search for me and rescue Farrell. That made me wonder what was taking so long.

My curiosity got the best of me and I made my way back to the warehouse. As I entered, I heard screams of terror and what I saw was even worse. The Fellowship members were cowering in corners as the vamps were taking them and killing them one by one. There was blood everywhere. The few members that were left weren't even trying to fight back. I then saw Eric, covered in blood, draining one of them and I completely freaked out. I screamed and took off running.

Eric must have heard my scream because he came running out behind me. "Sookie wait." He shouted, but I kept running. I ran straight to the car got in and left. I didn't know where to go. I couldn't go home cause Eric would find me there. I couldn't go to Bon Temps because Amelia and Lars were there doing who knows what so I just drove. I drove around for what seemed like hours. The whole time playing what I'd seen over and over in my head.

I knew Eric was a vampire and that he had killed many innocent people. I also knew the Fellowship were not innocent by any means, but they weren't fighting back. Did the vampires have to kill them and drain them. From what I saw they could have just walked right in and freed Thalia and Maxwell Lee and left.

I don't know what I had expected to find when I entered the warehouse. Did I really think that the vampires would not kill them all. That's what we had come there to do. I think it was the fact that the Fellowship was not fighting back that really bothered me. I was just so conflicted about what I saw. I know the Fellowship would not stop until they had killed us all, including me. They had tried to kill me before, but they were defenseless and the vampires attacked them anyway.

Finally, after driving around for hours I went home. I knew I couldn't drive around all night and I had to go home and face Eric eventually. When I got there he was waiting for me. He had showered and changed his clothes so he was no longer covered in blood. He was waiting for me in the kitchen.

"Sookie." He said as he attempted to pull me into his arms. I jerked away from him. I could not let him sweet-talk his way out of this. "Sookie, I love you and I did not mean for you to see that." "Eric, why did you do it? You didn't have to. You could have walked right in, got your people, and walked right out. You didn't have to kill them! No wonder they hate you so much! You are all monsters!" I screamed as I began crying.

"Sookie." Eric said calmly as he put his arms around me. "They may not have been a threat to us tonight, but if we would not have killed them they would have eventually killed us all including you." I looked up at Eric as tears streamed down my face and shouted, "Eric, you killed them. You didn't have to. They were terrified. All you did was prove to them that they were right."

Eric looked at me right into my eyes. I could see rage in his eyes. His fangs came out and he shouted, "Why are you defending them? They hate us! They want us all to meet our final deaths. Do you not remember Dallas? We spared them and then they attacked Stan's house! We did what we had to do! I am sorry if you do not see it that way, but we had no other choice! They are the real killers!"

I couldn't have this conversation right now. I had had enough. I pulled away from him and began walking upstairs. I screamed, "Eric, don't follow me. I'm going to bed. Stay away from me." Eric punched the wall and shouted, "Sookie, wait!" I kept walking. I went into our bedroom and locked the door behind me. Eric didn't follow me. I got in bed and cried myself to sleep.
