Chapter 43 : The Other Side Of The Door

For the first time or maybe the second in my vampire life I was scared, terrified. The vampire who had killed the people I loved was standing here right in front of me. The worst thing was that I knew that he was here for me, he was here to kill me.

There was just one thing he didn't know, one thing that reassured me. It was the fact that we had a plan, that we were going to kill him. Even if I died today, I knew that Russell would meet the true death thanks to Eric. Or at least I hoped so.

However, I didn't like the fact that Sookie was here. She knew about the plan and she could do something stupid. And the fact that she was a fairy wasn't really a great thing. Her blood allowed vampires to walk in the sun and something told me that Russell wanted to use that fabulous thing. I could understand him somehow. I wished I would walk in the sun but that was impossible and drinking from Sookie was something I didn't want to do.

And Godric, he was standing before me, protecting me from Russell but it was completely pointless. There was nothing he could do and I wasn't going to let him do anything for me. We needed to follow our plan and that meant Godric had to chose Eric and let me go and probably face the true death.

Before I had the chance to do anything, I found myself on my knees. Russell had made me kneeling in front of him and I was at his entire mercy. His grip on my arm was strong and I had felt something breaking. I felt Godric's presence next to us and I felt everyone staring at us. Because we were not alone anymore, Eric and Bill were here too.

" At least, Eric didn't lie about you, Miss Elizabeth Adams. " Russell said and his grip on my arm tightened; An it hurt but I wasn't going to show him how painful it was for me.

He had made me suffer enough, I needed to be strong in front of him, for my family and for my maker.

" I'm going to enjoy your death. " Russell added.

" No, you cant do this. She has done nothing to you ! " Sookie started to scream and I saw her standing next to Russell.

That girl was definitely crazy. Russell was a three thousand years old vampire who wanted her blood and yet she was trying to defend me against him; What was she thinking ? This was completely stupid and it wasn't going to work. As if Russell cared about what she was saying.

" You have to do something. Godric you love her, you can't let this happen. "

" Yes, Godric why aren't you doing anything if you love her ? " Russell asked and I saw him looking at Godric.

We all knew it was going to happen, hopefully Godric would be very convincing.

" She has disappointed me and my child's safety is more important than her. " Godric answered very calmly.

Russell had to believe him. Sookie seemed convinced, because she was shooting a death glare at Godric.

" I see. " Russell and I would have sighed in relief if I could. The plan was working, everything was fine. " How am I going to kill you ? " Russell asked but he was only talking to himself. He was insane and something told me that the murder of his progeny was making him crazier.

" No, Eric she trusted you ! How can you do this to her ? She told me you- "

" - Shut up Sookie. " I interrupted, knowing exactly what she was going to say. She was going to make a huge mistake by telling Russell about our plan.

Of course, she thought that I was only going to be a bait, that I wouldn't get hurt or killed. Eric and I both knew the risk I was taking, that he was taking too. We had both made our choice and I wasn't going to let Sookie destroy everything. It was very kind to see that she was trying to help but there were more important things to do.

" Elizabeth… " Sookie said and I was pretty sure that she had understood now, or at least I hoped so.

" If you're going to kill me, I want to know what my family had done to you. And what about Arthur ? " I plucked up courage and asked.

At least, I wanted to know why everything had happened. Why he had made all those things ? Because I knew it was for a reason. Of course, he had fun by killing people but there was something else. I wanted and needed to know. It was the only way to find out about this and hopefully he would answer me before killing me or before we killed him.

" Your maker betrayed me, he was one of my loyal subject and betrayed me because of your fucking brother. William, he thought he could get what he wanted from me. My blood but he wasn't giving anything in exchange, he didn't even want to give me his fabulous blood. He was also threatening me; what a stupid boy. " Russell simply answered but I wasn't satisfied because I didn't see why he had to kill them, why he had to use witches to curse me.

It made no sense but then why was I searching a sense ? Russell was insane… Then I was still sure that he wasn't telling me everything. He was hiding something.

" I remember the night I killed them. Your mother wasn't like William, she let me come in and then… The taste of your brother and father's blood, it was magical. " He said, letting out a long laugh.

That was disgusting, maybe I should have never asked that question. Those memories were too painful.

" I think I found the perfect way to kill you but I'll use you before. "

Something told me that I already knew how he was going to use me. I had an idea, a very realistic idea and it scared me.

" You and Mister Northman will go out in the sun at first. If Miss Stackhouse's blood works, I'll get rid of you after that. " Russell said.

I looked at Eric, he nodded at me and I knew I had to trust him. I didn't want to look at Godric, I couldn't look at him. It would be too painful for me.

Then my eyes fell on Sookie, she was shocked and disgusted. Poor girl, everyone was going to drink from her. Hopefully, we weren't going to drain her. I truly didn't want to kill her by drinking from her and if I was completely honest, I didn't want to drink her blood.

Well I wanted to as a vampire, but another part of me was disgusted at this simple thought. Maybe it was because I had fairy's blood in me when I was human.

However, I truly hoped that her blood would work because I didn't want to meet the sun. Simply because it would be long and painful for me since I was still young. I would prefer meeting the true death by being staked.

Those were such happy thoughts…

" Let's do it then ! " Russell exclaimed, probably excited about what was going to happen. He let go of me and took Sookie's arm, dragging her to the nearest chair.

He threw her on the chair when I stood up. It was the morning, the sun was only rising. We still had a few minutes before we could go out in the sun. I wasn't very excited about it.

I looked at Godric, he looked so helpless. He wanted to do something but he couldn't. The worst thing was that Russell wanted Eric and I to go out. Godric could lose his child in a heartbeat. That was probably why Godric was standing next to Eric, who was talking to Pam. Russell was talking to Sookie.

If only I could leave… But it was too late for that, the sun would kill me.

And suddenly, I realized something, something that was killing me. I felt alone, more than ever. I had no one, I didn't have my maker, I didn't have my family and I didn't even have Godric anymore. And this was Russell's fault and mine too. I was the only one to blame for losing Godric.

" Come here. " Russell ordered and reluctantly I did as I was told. It was angering me but I had no choice. " Eric, you too. "

Eric joined us while I stared at Sookie. She looked scared and angry at the same time.

" If you drain her completely, that's the last fairy blood you'll ever drink. " Bill added and I was glad that he was still thinking about Sookie, that he was still trying to protect her.

" Good point, now come on. I'm waiting. "

I wasn't the only who didn't want to do this, Eric was exactly like but only because he cared about Sookie.

" I'm sorry Sookie. " I said, trying to make her understand that I didn't want to do this.

" I know. "

Russell took one of Sookie's wrist and I took the other one while Eric was ready to bite in her neck.

" Oh, for God's sake ! " Russell screamed and bit into her wrist.

Eric and I had no other choice, it was our time to bite her. And when her blood made contact with my mouth, it was a sheer bliss. I couldn't explain that feeling, it was the most delicious blood I had ever tasted. So this was fairy blood, this was how my father and brother tasted… This was how I tasted ? How wonderful it was for vampires.

When I finally pulled away, I felt so good. Her blood was indeed magical but would it really work ? I was going to learn it soon enough.

Sookie was unconscious and Russell was pushing Eric and I towards the door.

I looked one last time at Godric and mouthed an « I love you » to him… Maybe it was the last time I would ever say it. And to my surprise, he did the same thing. I would have cried if only I could.

" Come on, Lizzie. " Eric said and I was surprised when he took my hand in his own as we made our way outside.

Once the door closed, I had to ask something to Eric. « We're going to die right ? »

" I'm sorry. The effects of her blood don't last very long, we'll have to be strong until Russell comes out. He'll die with us. We are all going to die together."

I knew it would happen but I still hoped that we could change what was going to happen… The worst thing was that Godric was going to be alone, completely alone. He was going to watch us die, that was painful…

" That's so ironic, isn't it ? Who would have thought we would die together ?" I asked and Eric chuckled.

We slowly made our way towards the sun… The sun, I've lived two hundred years without this warm feeling on my body. It felt great, so great but then I could already feel that this feeling wasn't going to last long.

Eric waved at the camera and soon Russell would be here with us. I watched smoke coming from Eric's body and I knew that the same thing was happening to me.

" Don't let them see. We need to be strong Lizzie. "

I nodded and finally Russell arrived. I tried to fight against the effect of the sun on my body, I needed to hide what was happening, just like Eric did.

I wasn't very sure about what happened next, the only things I remembered were Russell's screams towards Eric and falling to the ground.

I was dying because of the sun.


So this was how death was supposed to be. Well, I was surprised but it was rather a good surprise. Everything was sunny and peaceful. So peaceful, and I almost felt human again. That was so strange. It seems to be a paradise here, but vampires weren't meant for that ? I had killed so many people and yet here I was…

I was dead but it wasn't that bad… That was not true, I was completely broken because I would never see Godric again, never. And that simple thought made me cry and fell on my knees. I closed my eyes, still crying.

Why ? Why had been so stupid ? I should have run away and hide. I should have never agreed to be a bait to kill Russell. I was dead now and there was nothing I could do to change it. I was already missing life and Godric.

It was just so painful…

" Lizzie ? " I heard someone calling my name.

There was something strange about that voice, I knew that voice. I knew who this person was but it was impossible. When I thought about it, it was wrong, it was possible because I was dead. And my brother was dead. It was my brother, it had to be William.

I opened my eyes, hoping that it was real. And here stood my brother, in the sunshine. He looked exactly like I remembered when he died. I still couldn't believe it even if he was right in front of me, my eyes were playing tricks on my mind. That was the only explanation.

He kneeled in front of me and took my hands in his own and at this very moment, I knew he was real. I could feel him, I could the touch of his skin.

" William, you're real. " I whispered and squeezed his hands to make sure he was here with me.

" I am, my dear sister. " He said and took me in his arms.

This was our first hug since his death and it felt good… This was like a dream even if I knew I was dead. I was with my brother and that was wonderful. Maybe death wasn't that terrible ? Maybe I had a second chance ?

" You are still the same, my little Lizzie. I'm happy to see you, you can't imagine how happy I am right now. » He whispered in my ear and I smiled. « Dad will soon be here. "

My dad was here too ? How was that possible ? Well, I didn't care, I was here and this was the only thing that mattered.

" And Mom ? Where is she ? " I asked and he let go of me.

" I'm sorry but she's not here. She was not like us, Lizzie. " He answered and he had a pained look on his face.

Us.. We were part fairies, I had nearly forgotten about that but if I was dead, then why wasn't my mother here ? It couldn't be because she wasn't like us. It was impossible.

" But, we are all dead. Why isn't she here ? " I asked, confused.

" Dad and I are dead but you are not, not yet. You are in our fairy world. Mom wasn't part fairy like us, that's why she isn't here. And you, you're here because you've drunk fairy blood and because you're probably dying. "

I wasn't dead but just dying ? Great, really. At least, it wasn't painful, I wasn't feeling anything since I was here… And fairy world ?Wow, that was unbelievable and crazy.

" I'm so sorry for everything Lizzie. This is all my fault. "

" It's okay. " I replied. It wasn't like we could change what had happened and I would never be angry at my brother, never. He didn't have to apologize.

And that was when I noticed my father standing behind my brother. I got up and ran to him.

" My little girl. " He said and when he looked at me, he was smiling.

" Dad, I… I'm so happy to be here. "

And now, I realized that I never wanted to leave this place even if that meant dying. I was reunited with my family and my death would probably make me stay here. Of course, I loved Godric but I could be with my brother and my father again.

" She has taken her light ! " I heard someone screaming and it gave me a start.

A beautiful brown haired woman was standing here and by the look on her face, I could tell that she was angry.

" She killed Sookie ! " She exclaimed.

My mouth fell open. Sookie was not dead, she was just unconscious. " Sookie is not dead. She'll be fine soon, I'm sure that Bill will give her his blood. "

" Claudine, you can feel that she's not dead. Now, please leave us. I want to spend time with my daughter. "

" She will never be able to stay here, even if she dies. Take advantage of that time. " She replied and left while I was only shocked.

Fairies were not really nice…

Then I wondered what did she mean by « she'll never be able to stay here » ? Why couldn't I stay in this world ? I wanted to stay here. I was supposed to be here with them. They were my family. And I had been part fairy too.

" Come on Lizzie, let's take a walk together. " My father said and took my hand. We slowly started to walk and everything here was beautiful. The sun, those trees… It was too perfect to be true.

" Why can't she stay here Dad ? She's like us ! They have no right to do this. " William said while he walked next to me.

" Because she has been changed into a vampire. That's why and even if that's completely stupid, you know how ridiculous they can be… Let's not talk about that now. It's not like we have any choice. " My father paused and his grip on my hand tightened. " Tell me Lizzie, how was your life as a vampire ? "

I smiled. " It was great, Arthur was a great maker. " I started and looked at William. He smiled when I said Arthur's name. " I was a normal vampire, I… I've done a lot of things you don't want to learn about and I… I tried to kill Godric, Dad. " I finished, laughing at this thought.

" Godric, why ? " My father asked, shocked. Of course, he could have never expected that. Godric was his friend after all.

" I thought he killed you and I wanted to kill him but Arthur stopped me. He was great but Russell killed him and I went crazy. Godric was here for me since we were sort of together. "

William stopped dead in his tracks. " You and Godric ? "

I laughed. Of course, Godric and I together was something William had wanted to prevent by asking Arthur to turn me.

" Yes and Arthur and I too but I love Godric now. And that's all you have to know. "

" I knew it would happen. " My father said and he smiled. At least, he wasn't bothered by that fact. I would even say that he seemed happy.

" Anyway, Eric, Godric's child and I tried to kill Russell. I was supposed to be the bait but there was also Sookie. She's part fairy and I think you can imagine the rest. "

" Yes, I think we both can. " My father said.

I think that right now I was happy no matter what. Even if I died, even if I was only here for a short amount of time, even if I had lost Godric, William and my father were here. And for the first time in a very long time, I was on cloud nine.


I hope this chapter was not too bad. So what did you think about it ? And what do you think will happen in the next one ? Well, just so you know we'll have Godric's point of view in the next one. Plus, there are only two chapters left now but I'm already working on the sequel.
