Chapter 28…Following orders
A/N: An extra-long chapter for you guys because of the long wait…Thank you for all the Follows/favourites and just all the love, it is much appreciated.
I woke up with the feeling of being moved and when I opened my eyes I saw Bill staring at me and Eric moving me so that I sat up.
"You bled on my couch…" Bill said and I looked down at the couch and saw that there was a patch of blood. "Trust me there have been worse body fluids on this couch" I snarled as I looked at Bill.
I was just about to get up when a hand pressed me back and I saw Eric kneeling in front of me with a piece of cloth starting to wipe my nose. "Why were you bleeding?" Eric asked me and I rolled my eyes.
"I don't know it comes with being human" I said sarcastically but Eric ignored it. "Well you aren't human" he said to me and I looked back at Bill to see him also staring at me for an explanation.
"I am half human, half nephalem so it can happen" I said and pushed away from Eric to get up and wipe the rest off.
"Can I have a word with you?" Bill asked me and I nodded and walked in the direction of his main office. "Why do you want a word with her?" Eric asked as he blocked my path and glared at Bill.
"It's between us" Bill said and Eric looked down at me, I stared back at him until he moved out of the way and then continued on walking.
"What do you need to discuss?" I asked as I settled against the wall as Bill closed the door.
"Sookie asked me if she could have some time with Eric…and I said yes because I needed to talk to you as well about the witch" Bill said and I laughed out.
"So even though you still love sookie, she's fucking the one vampire you hate most, you still let her play you around her little finger?" I said as I shook my head at him as he sighed and sat down.
"So the witch needs to be dealt with" Bill said changing the subject and I huffed. "I will take care of it tomorrow, you can go back trying to win sookie back. But heed my warning, Eric is mine. He can play a bit with the fairy but ultimately he stays mine" I said to Bill and he nodded at me.
"What if he doesn't want you?" Bill asked me as I turned around to walk out. "Then I will kill her" I said simply and right after I said that Bill's hand was around my throat. "You will not harm sookie" Bill hissed at me and I stared at him.
"Take your hand off…" I said calmly but Bill tightened his grip and I felt him cut off my air supply. I glared at him until he gasped and pulled his hand back quickly, dropping me to the floor in the process.
I stood up as he held his hand that was burned with blisters. "I am from fucking hell, I can bring it here any time I want. The first one to burn will be that fucking fairy, am I clear?" I growled out at Bill.
"I do not want you to harm her" Bill said and I looked down and dusted myself. "Do not give me a reason" I said and walked out of his office and went looking for Eric.
"I remember everything…us. Nothing has changed" I heard Eric say and came to a stop just around the corner.
"Except you" sookie said back and I could already picture her with her head down sulking.
"I haven't changed. I'm just more, the other Eric is still here, Sookie look at me" Eric said and I peeked around to see her lifting her head. "Can't you see him in my eyes?" Eric asked her and she mumbled a small 'yes'.
"So what's the problem?" Eric asked with a strained voice and sookie sighed.
"Bill. When you were about to kill him, I just couldn't bear the thought of a world without him in it, I think it was how I was able to stop you. I love you. But I don't want to lie to you, I can't help it. I love him too" sookie explained to Eric and to me it was like she was telling her whole life story.
"How is that possible?" Eric asked her while pulling back a bit.
"Sometimes I think it's because you both gave me your blood" she said and I saw Eric's face change into determination.
"You gave yourself to me completely, you are mine" Eric said and I was about to storm in but sookie stopped me before I could. "I never promised that, and you gave yourself to me completely" she said and I rolled my eyes.
Of course she would want something while never giving something back.
"Yes I did, I love you" Eric said and I walked in just as pam came in from the other side.
"Bill called me, is it you, are you back?" Pam asked as she rushed forward and hugged Eric. "Yes, I'm back" Eric said and looked towards me when he said that and I looked straight at him while leaning on the wall.
"Thank God you are back, I missed you. That fucking sorceress, I thought I'd lost you forever. How did you get her to break the curse?" pam asked as she looked around the room and then back at Eric waiting for a reply.
"Well, she didn't. Sookie did" Eric said and I saw pam's shoulders drop. She stepped back as she wiped at her eye and then looked at Sookie "oh…well thanks" pam said but I knew that she forced it out.
"Don't mention it" Sookie said back to Pam and Pam nodded as she turned back to Eric.
"Why didn't you summon me the second you were free?" Pam asked Eric but Eric looked down at the floor and then looked up at me, he kept staring at me as I stared back at him.
"Hey…" Pam said when Eric didn't answer her "We'll talk about it later" Eric said and kissed Pam on her forehead. Pam nodded and then turned around and walked towards me, she gave me an assuring smile and then walked out and probably went home.
Sookie stood up and walked towards Eric "I should probably go" she said and Eric frowned as he looked at her. "You are not going to stay?" he asked and I huffed out which made Sookie glare at me and in turn I smiled sweetly at her.
"No, I need to go. Things to do" she said and took Eric's hand and squeezed it. After that she went to Bill and said goodnight to him and then left.
"We need to discuss a few things" Eric said as he looked up at me. "Oh…uh yeah sure. What do you want to discuss?" I asked him as I stepped closer. I saw Eric's eyes dart around and just as he opened his mouth to respond I cut him off.
"Oh you want to discuss how you have had a thing for Sookie even while being with me…no? Oh uhm okay…what about how you said you bought a house for me but it was Sookie's. Oh no…wait how about we discuss how you left me at the fucking alter!" I screamed at Eric while pushing him back onto the couch but he stood up quickly and looked down at me.
"I didn't have a choice…my memories were gone, I didn't even know my own name, so technically I couldn't have come to you" Eric hissed back at me and I glared at him.
"Technically I don't fucking care!" I yelled and threw him over the couch with a wave of my hand. "I risked my life for you, I took my powers back not knowing what would happen, all for you!" I growled out as Eric stood up.
"What is going on here?" a voice said to our left and I saw it was Nan. "Oh just piss off…" I said to her and her guards stepped forward. "Don't, she just a stupid human" Nan said and I laughed out.
"I need to go, I have to go and deal with the witch" I said and turned around to start walking but a hand around my arm stopped me.
"You can't deal with her on your own" Eric said and I ripped my arm free "watch me…" I hissed and started walking again.
"Tomorrow night we will deal with her, guards please take our guest downstairs along with the silver" Bill said and I lunged at him just as the guards stopped me and dragged me downstairs.
"What is the meaning of this?" Eric hissed at Bill and Bill nodded at Nan. "I just saved your human, or well a human. She can't go after Antonia alone. We'll keep her chained with us until tomorrow night when Antonia is dead" Bill said and Eric watched as Nan and Bill walked downstairs with a few guards.
I struggled against them until one pushed me down onto the floor and cuffed me to the bars of the cell we were going to stay in. "You think this can hold me? Then you're just idiots" I growled out at them and saw the one shrug and motioned for the other one to grab two silver chains.
They wrapped one around my middle and around the bars, the next one went around my throat and also around the bars. I kicked out at the one guard and managed to hit his shin.
I laughed out loud as he scowled and walked upstairs with a limp.
I sat alone for about ten minutes when all of the vampires came downstairs and entered the same cell as me.
"No…no way are all of you staying in the same cell as me" I growled out at Bill as he sat on the bed. Nan and Jessica took each a bed and got settled as the guards put silver over all of them.
"Put me in a different cell, Bill" I hissed at him and he simply told me "No" and I looked back at him with my eyebrows raised. "You sure about that Compton?" I asked as I saw Pam and Eric sit down right next to me to be chained just like me.
I looked over at Jessica and smirked as I watched her start to squirm and then full out screamed. "Jessica, Jessica…" Bill screamed as he looked at her and then looked at the guard but he stepped back showing he was doing nothing.
Bill looked over at me and instantly he knew it was me.
"Stop…stop it now" he yelled at me and I looked at him with a frown. "Oh, you can hear her screams? That's the silver chains trying to get deeper into her lovely skin, now put me in another cell or…" I let the threat hand as I forced the silver to push harder making Jessica screech out in pain.
"Fine! Fine, guards move her to another cell" Bill yelled at the guards and I stopped making the silver dig in and smiled at Bill as they unlocked me.
I stood up as they guard led me out of the cell and heard Bill command the guard the let Eric up.
"Put him with her" Bill said and I turned to him. "You wouldn't dare!" I said and Bill smirked at me. "I think you have a few things to talk about" he said and the guard pushed me forward harshly making me stumble before he pushed me into the cell and chained me again.
I sat a little bit then Eric came in and went to lay down on the bed, and I watched as Eric hissed from pain as the guy from before chained him with more silver than every other vampire currently down here.
After the guy left Eric and I were in silence for a few minutes just listening to how Bill explained what would be done tomorrow night.
"Why did you do it?" I heard Eric ask and turned my head back to see him looking at me and I cursed for sitting at the side of the cell.
"What killed godric?" I asked and Eric's eyes widened and his fangs dropped as he tried to get up "I'm joking…" I said and added "mostly" just in my head.
Eric settled back down and sighed "I'm sorry, since I have been back Godric's bond has been gone and I am worried" he said to me and I nodded as I leaned back and closed my eyes.
"So why did you do it?" Eric asked me and I heaved out a breath as I lifted my head to look at him. "You are going to need to elaborate on that" I said and Eric's lips lifted up into a small smile.
"Why did you take your powers back? I knew you never wanted to, so why did you?" he asked and I looked back up to the ceiling. "Cause I felt like taking them back" I said lying through my teeth.
"Danalynne…look at me" I brought my head up and looked at him "Why did you take them back?" Eric asked seriously and I wanted to laugh at him but something was pulling at me "Because of you, I thought you wanted someone with powers, so I took them in hope you would forget about sookie and come back to me. I was broken, you left me for her." I said and then gasped as I slammed my hand over my mouth in shock.
I didn't want Eric to know any of that but somehow he commanded me to speak the truth and from the look on his face he knew what just happened.
"I need to get some sleep" I said and tried to get settled but Eric pulled my attention to him.
"Danalynne, break your chains" Eric said and I glared at him and was going to curse at him but I felt all my silver chains vibrate and then they broke. I glared at Eric as he had a smug look on his face.
"Come here, towards me" he said and as soon as he did I stood up and walked over to him still furious.
"Climb onto the bed and lay down with me" Eric said and just as before I obeyed him.
I grumbled as I settled by his side. "I fucking hate you for this" I seethed at him as I laid down and heard him chuckle. "Oh you love me" he said and I glared at him. "Say it…" he commanded me and I bit down hard on my tongue but I still obeyed.
"I love you, Eric" I said and sighed as I layed my head down halfway on Eric's shoulder. "This is new, I have no idea how this is working, but I like it. Now try and get some sleep" Eric said to me and I grumbled again but closed my eyes and fell asleep right away.
AraceliWolfe: Thank you so much for the kind review, I am looking forward to your thoughts on this chapter.
Fallondyson: It wasn't as soon as you thought but I hope you enjoy this chapter, sorry for the long wait…
Guest: Yes Eric is back to his old self but he still wants both of them not knowing what he is risking. Danalynne never slept with Jason she just flirted with him to rile Sookie up. Thank you for the great review, hope to hear your thoughts.
