Chapter two…pain and games

A/N: thank you all for the reviews although I did expect some more, but it was better than none. So still thank you and I hope you enjoy.

"and why not" he asked in a mocking tone and I cried out as his foot connected with my ribs. "because…because you are my brother…"

"do you think I care? You're not blood to me. No you are just some freak my father brought home, telling me to play along to his lies. I hate you…ever since he got you, he ignored me. He thought you were an angel, an angel with powers." He said humorously but I could see he was serious.

"then what am I still doing here? If you hate me why haven't you killed me yet?" I asked him and watched in fear as his smile widened.

"because I want what you have…and the time has finally come" he said and before I could blink he had my arms secured behind my back. He pulled me up harshly and steered me out of the room.

I was pushed into another room that was full of unlit candles and three people standing there…waiting for me.

"bring her forward" a voice said and joe pushed me down onto a table and strapped me to it.

"if she survives she won't remember anything" the woman said and I screamed as I struggled against my bonds.

"let's start" joe said and I watched as the women formed a circle around me. They threw a thing on me and took some of my blood. They chanted some things that I could not understand.

They stared at me for a moment before joe brought a dagger down and stabbed it into my stomach. I screamed out in pain and watched as he smiled evilly at me.

I felt the blood pour out of the wound and my eyes became blurry. I felt something being pulled out of me and I looked as something glowing was placed into a jar. I wanted to reach out for it but my arm fell down before I could.

I looked at joe and he covered the jar and then left. The women around me started to chant again but I couldn't listen to them because I passed out from blood loss.

"Maggie can you find her?" godric asked the witch. He was furious at eric, he didn't care that he was dying and he knew joe always hated danalynne, this was not good.

"no…but I can get a city for you" she said and started to bring up her magic again.

"I can't believe you did this eric" godric said with disappointment. Eric was going to explain but godric held his hand up.

"godric…" Maggie called for him and both the vampires stepped forward.

Godric felt guilty because of what he did. If he was not selfish and did not want to kill himself, she would not have had to link herself and wouldn't be in the hands of joe. Or even if he accepted her linking to him and went back to the room with her, this would not have happened.

Eric also felt guilty for what he did and for what he said to her. He didn't mean any of it and he saw the pain in her eyes as she left.

"what is it Maggie?" godric asked and the witch looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry godric…she's gone" Maggie said and looked down at the floor. "what do you mean she's gone? Can't you find her?" eric asked and the witch shook her head and godric fell to his knees.

"can you show us?" godric asked and Maggie nodded.

She sliced her arm open and let the blood form a puddle. She called up her magic and like before the blood acted like a mirror.

There in the blood it showed danalynne as she laid on the table with a cut in her midsection.

"she will heal…she has to heal" eric said and Maggie shook her head. "Those writings on her arms are the ritual one does to take a Nephalem's powers. She can't heal, they took her powers." Maggie said and eric slammed his fist against the wall and then left the hotel.

"thank you Maggie for all your help but I think it is best if you leave" godric said and Maggie understood. She quickly packed her things and left before godric's bad side could show itself.

Godric stayed on the floor as the tears ran down his face. He couldn't believe she is gone. The girl he got to know and learned to love was gone. And the last words he said to her face was that he would rather die than be with her.

Godric knew pain all his life but never like this…he knew time was cruel but he didn't expect her to be taken away this soon. He couldn't believe joe did this. JOE.

Godric's head snapped up and he snarled as he punched every wall and then called for eric.

Within seconds eric was there crouching by his master's side. "I'm leaving" godric said and eric looked up at him. "but godric…" he started but godric held up his hand.

"go back to Shreveport I will be there soon but first I need to hunt someone down. I need to do this on my own. I command you to go back until I come to you. Do not contact me" godric said and walked out of the room but before he went out of the door he whispered "goodbye for now my child" and then he left.

Eric stood there in shock but his master's command made him stand up and pack his things. He called pam to let her know that he was coming back and would explain when he was at the bar.

Eric walked to the lobby and told them he was checking out and that his bags must be sent to him and that he would fly home.

They tagged his bags and said that his bags would be there within two days.

And then just like that eric flew back to Shreveport and was mentally preparing himself to tell pam and sookie that danalynne was dead.

Joe's pov

I watched as she died and the blood left in her pumped out of the wound I inflicted with every last beat of her heart. I smiled and looked at the girls around me. "soon it will be time for revenge" he said and they all cheered at the thought.

"get the vampire, and take her to her new room" joe said and they all nodded and did their part. Four of the girls bathed danalynne quickly and then dressed her in a hospital gown. A nurse then came in, hooked O negative blood on the hook, and pushed the needle in so that the girl could accept the blood.

Joe came in with the vampire behind him and the vampire stopped in his tracks. "no…no way am I going near her!" he screamed but joe closed the door before he could leave.

"all I need you to do is bite her on the neck and then you can go. She's out cold she won't know it was you" joe said and he reliantly nodded.

Joe watched as the vampire stood over danalynne's body and then he sunk his fangs into her neck. He watched as the vampire took two mouthfuls and then pulled back. "If you need me again just come and get me" he said and joe nodded.

Now all he had to do was wait for danalynne to wake up and then the games could begin.
