Chapter 35…Craziness and Pride

A/N: Hey guys here is a new chapter, hope you enjoy it and don't forget to leave your thoughts.

Eric landed softly on the ground and let me down as we walked to see Bill already there, thinking he must have had the same thought as me.

"This is a surprise" I said to Bill but he only glanced at me and then turned his head back and when I looked at where he was looking I saw Sookie with Alcide, kissing.

"Awkward time for a drop in Bill" Eric said and I looked at Bill as he swallowed before replying "Jessica mentioned Sookie had been having a rough go of it" he said and I turned back to see Alcide carry Sookie up the stairs.

"Oh she's having it rough" I said not holding the snark back in my tone. "We can go back to looking for Russell now" Eric said and I frowned up at him. "We are looking for Russell, clearly without success" Bill supplied and that's when I smiled, stepping in front of them both.

"Sookie could be useful" I said and shrugged when both of them looked at me like I was crazy.

"I don't think she wants anything to do with us again" Eric said and I huffed at him and was about to tell him to stop being a pussy when it came to Sookie but Bill interrupted before I could.

"I don't think we give her a choice" Bill said and it made me smile and nod. I glared at Eric for a moment before turning around and walking to the house, and lucky for me the door wasn't locked. I stepped inside and walked straight to the stairs where I started climbing them, only to look back, seeing both vampires following me.

I gave a noisy grunt of disgust when I heard Sookie moan Alcide's name.

The bedroom door was open and all three of us stared as Sookie managed to throw up onto Alcide's shoes.

"Alcide you do know how to treat a lady" Eric said and I snorted as Sookie quickly turned around wiping her mouth and Alcide looked down at his shoes in disgust. "What are all of you doing in my house?" Sookie asked and I lifted my eyebrow at her.

"We need to talk, we'll give you guys a few minutes to…right yourselves" I said and pulled both vampires down into the kitchen. Both of them took a seat while I on the other hand decided to keep standing.

A few minutes later Alcide came down with no shoes and stormed out to his truck where I saw he was putting on a spare set of shoes. After that he came back in and stared at me and then Eric.

"So what are y'all doing here?" Alcide asked and I looked at him as he huffed at Eric rolling his eyes. "We need to use Sookie to read a certain man's thoughts as to where Russell might be" I answered and Sookie came down dressed and took a seat.

"I don't want Doug mixed in with this shit, you fangers only bring trouble and death" Alcide said and with the last part he glared at me. "We don't need you're permission, wolf" Eric growled out as he stepped in front of me.

"Russell has been under the ground for four years. It'll take him a few days to recuperate, he'll be straight out after us on the hunt" Bill said and I nodded as I stepped past Eric to stand on the side of the table.

"Cause you didn't kill him when you had the chance" Alcide said and I looked at him and then at Eric and Bill. "I am with him there" I said and Eric and Bill both glared at me. "What did you say?" Bill growled out at Alcide and Alcide rolled his eyes as he replied "You heard me"

"Get out of here" Eric said and Bill stood up as he asked "You want to tell me what to do?"

Sookie started laughing as she looked through her fingers that was currently over her face. It made all three males stop arguing and it made me realize that she was indeed a mental case. But just for fun I peeked into her mind and saw that she was actually seeing the guys barking at each other like dogs.

It made me chuckle and then laugh as everyone stopped to look at me. But I kept staring at Sookie, seeing her practically undressing Alcide with her eyes.

"You know Sookie you are right." I said and Sookie turned to me with a frown.

"About what?" she asked me and I grinned as I glanced at Alcide and then looked back at her.

"I don't know about bill with the barking but Alcide is a beast, he knows how to tame a girl and fuck the hell out of her" I said and smiled as her face dropped. "And just how would you know this?" she asked and I saw Eric glare at me, but it was going to come out sooner or later.

"Because dear Sookie, the two of us had sex not too long ago, and by that I mean like two days ago. I am glad to see you like my sloppy seconds, first it was Eric and now Alcide." I said and watched as Sookie started laughing again shaking her head.

"Oh I'm sorry, I just keep thinking that if I make the right choice all this madness will end and my life would go back to normal. But it's not going to end, is it? This is it. It's not going to change. We say goodbye, and the next thing you guys are back in my house, Danalynne, you are always just there tearing my life down and a 3000-year-old vampire wants to suck my blood. Must be Thursday" Sookie said as she stood up and walked over to her jacked and pulled it on.

"Well come on. What are y'all waiting for? Let's go hunt Russell. Onwards into the jaws of death, boot and rally" Sookie said and stepped through the door saying thank you to Tara for breaking the glass of the door.

We all make our way outside to where Alcide's construction van is parked and Sookie got into the front while Alcide opened up the back. Bill and Eric climbed inside and Alcide was about to shut the door when I grabbed it and also climbed inside.

"No way am I letting you ride with them in the back. Look what happened last time I let a human ride in the back with a vampire. Sookie got drained and needed to go to the hospital" Alcide said and I shook my head while Bill growled at Alcide.

"I can handle myself Alcide, you should know this by now" I said and Eric looked at me and frowned, then looked at Alcide and when their eyes connected Alcide smirked at Eric and then slammed the doors shut.

"What did you mean by that?" Eric asked and I looked first at Bill and then at Eric. "Nothing, I meant nothing by it." I said and Eric growled as he glared at me. "All of us in here know that it was not nothing, you can either tell me now or later. It's up to you." Eric said with a threating tone and I sighed.

"Fine I will tell you later" I replied and I felt Eric's stared hard into my head as I turned away from him. "And just so that you know when we find Russell and all of this is over, I am ripping Alcide's heart out and sucking it dry right in front of you" Eric added on and I sighed as I just imagined what he said.

The ride was silent and quickly and before we knew it, Alcide opened the doors telling us that we were at the place Doug was waiting for us.

I climbed out walking right by Doug and left the rest of them behind as I walked forward, on a mission to try and see if I could find anything. Before I could really put my mind into it, everyone came to the hole which Russell was buried in.

I saw Sookie take Doug's hand and close her eyes as she was concentrating. "What do you remember about that night?" Sookie asked and Doug shook his head.

"Nothing I swear. I was taking my break like always" Doug said and then I saw his eyes go wide as he remembered something. "Somebody's coming up to him" Sookie said and frowned as she tried to see more. "What do they look like?" Bill asked as he looked over to me and I glared right back.

"It's blurry, I can't make it out" Sookie said and shook her head while I smirked at Bill.

"It's a woman" Sookie exclaimed and it was Bill's turn to smirk at me. "She is digging Russell up with her hands, wait… she has a necklace, a pendant. Like a spider or a bat?" Sookie described and I saw both Eric and Bill sigh.

"It is a female member of the authority that released Russell. Did you tell Nora that we buried Russell Edgeington alive?" Bill asked with a spark in his eye as he looked at Eric.

"No…" Eric answered quickly and squared his shoulders. "Well I don't believe you" Bill said back and stepped up to Eric. " Well I'm sorry to hear that" Eric said and glanced at me but Bill kept on standing right there.

"You said that you share everything" Bill continued on which agitated Eric even more. "Not that" Eric said while looking down at Bill in anger.

"Uh…who the fuck is Nora?" I asked as I looked at Eric for answers. "Nora risked her life to free me, and you too" Eric said to Bill that made Bill walk off back to the van. "Who the hell is Nora?" I asked Eric again and he sighed as he turned towards me. "She is my sister" Eric said and I gaped at him. "Your sister? And you didn't fucking tell me you had one?" I asked him and Eric growled back at me. "Yeah the same as you telling me you fucked a fucking dog!" Eric yelled and I laughed out sarcastically.

"That is not nearly the same, he saved me" I said and Eric rolled his eyes. "Yeah sure he did, I am sure if you say it enough, you will actually start to believe it" Eric said and also walked off which left the rest of us in awkward silence.

We all followed shortly after we discussed that Sookie would follow Doug's mind to where Russell is right now.

Alcide and Sookie was in the front again but this time with Doug while Bill myself and Eric sat in the back once again.

We sat in silence until Bill spoke up which made Eric even more angry.

"What if Nora orchestrated this whole thing? She pretended to save us so she could send us to Russell" Bill said and Eric glared at him. "And why would she do that?" Eric asked with clenched fists and Bill sighed.

"Russell could be a powerful ally to her cause. Though he's never agree to do it for free, but if she were to serve the two of us up to him, then she's be in a position to negotiate" Bill supplied but Eric shook his head.

"Well, that's not what she did. She tried to get us out of the country, you're just paranoid" Eric said back and my eyes went wide in disbelieve.

"No, that's what she said she was doing" Bill said and I got furious at them talking like I wasn't even there.

"What the fuck! Out of the country?" I asked Eric but he didn't even glance my way. "Then why is she still alive?" Bill asked back just as heatedly and Eric shrugged while replying "I don't know Bill" .

"She's a traitor and a liar just like her brother" Bill said and that made Eric drop his fangs and that made Bill follow suit with his own fangs. "Take that back" Eric said and I rolled my eyes at their child like behavior.

They kept staring at each other until Bill's phone rang and one look at his phone made his answer quickly.

"We don't have much time" Bill said to us after he hung up. "How long?" Eric asked and Bill sighed "our stakes go off at dawn, if we do not find him tonight" Bill said and I looked at Eric worry in my eyes but he kept looking at the floor with a million thoughts running through his head.

Once Alcide stopped we waited until he opened up the back of the van and when I was out I took a good look at what appeared to be an old abandoned asylum. Great this will take forever to search for Russell I thought to myself.

The six of us walked up the stairs to the front of the building and stood still to make a plan.

"They took Russell inside" Sookie said and I rolled my eyes at her. "Thank you captain obvious" I remarked and Sookie scowled at me that made me laugh at her demise.

"We don't have much time" Bill said while glaring at me and I pulled my face at him.

Sometimes I think I act immaturely but when the opportunity calls for it I do it. "We should split up, I'll take the north wing, you take the south side" Bill said to Eric and Eric shook his head.

"Even at full speed, it's a lot of ground to cover" Eric said but Bill ignored him and turned to Sookie. "Sookie we'd like to thank you for getting us this far, but Eric and I will take it from here. You stay outside with Doug and Alcide, along with…"

"Don't you tell me to stay here" I said to Bill as I interrupted him. He was just about to argue with me when Sookie also spoke up.

"Yeah I agree" she said and Eric shook his head and sighed. "We don't have time to worry about you" Eric said and looked at me pointedly and I glared at him.

"I think we can all agree that my microwave fingers and the sun is the only thing that affects Russell" Sookie said and I huffed as I turned towards her.

"uhm…no princess" I started but Sookie quickly cut in "and whatever you are…" she said and that made my blood boil.

"What did you just say?" I asked her and stepped towards her but a hand around my arm stopped me.

"Ladies…" Bill said and I ripped my arm out of his grasp and went to stand on the other side.

"Anyway, the way I see it, it's the two of us protecting you from him instead of the other way around." Sookie said and stormed in right after her little speech.

Alcide chuckled as he followed after her and Doug whines in his throat not wanting to go in.

"Pussy" I said to Doug and pushed him out of the way as I followed Alcide into the building, soon after everyone was following but what stopped us is Alcide sniffing around in the air.

"Wolves has been here" Alcide said and Bill looked at Eric "They come with Russell" he said and I heard Doug swallow hard from his nervousness.

We walked forwards with me and Eric leading and we saw a lot of rats all over and when I saw one chewing on a hand I smiled brightly as I pick it up.

"Cool, anybody need a hand? Wait Sookie you've done so well. Let's all give a hand to Sookie Stackhouse" I said and used the bloody hand to clap with my own but everyone kept staring at me except Eric who had a smug smile on his face.

"You guys are no fun" I said as I threw the hand down and kept on walking to where we found lots of body parts.

"No, no, no" Doug said and stepped back as we followed the trail of bodies. "Looks like we are at the right place" Eric said just as he stepped over a head. Sookie took the lead and brought us down to the morgue.

"How convenient" Eric said as we entered the morgue. Just then behind us a door slammed down the hallway which made both vampires drop fangs and Alcide to growl. "We are being watched" Alcide said as he continued to growl out.

"I can't do this, I'm sorry. Oh, holy shitcakes. I'm so fucking sorry but this is crazy" Doug said as he turned around and ran off. "Doug!" Sookie yelled after him but he didn't stop.

We all walked forward looking for Russell when we entered a room, a guy began screaming. The room was full of both males and females hanging, waiting to get slaughtered.

"It's not my turn, fatties first" he said and I looked at him up and down.

"Where do they take the prisoners?" Bill asked and the guy gulped. "Down the hallway, there's screaming and then there's not, get me down from here. I have money, I can pay you" the guy said and Bill huffed at him. "Are all males spineless and balless?" I asked and Eric cracked a smile at my statement.

We all turned to go down the hallway to finish this but the guy kept on screaming.

"Don't leave me here, come back please" the guy yelled and I turned back without any of the other noticing.

"You want to get down?" I asked the guy and he nodded at me. "Fine Jimmy, I'll take you down" I said to him and watched as he frowned. "I never told you my name, how do you know it?" the guy asked franticly and it made me smile.

I stepped forward and snapped the ropes off that kept him up and watched as he landed on the ground. Instantly getting on his knees thanking me over and over while clutching my shirt.

I pulled a disgusted face at him "Sorry…" I said and when he frowned at me I snapped his neck and watched as he fell dead to the ground. I shrugged my shoulders and quickly caught up to the rest of the group.

One look from Eric, I knew that he knows what I just did. But there was no judgment in his eyes, only the look of pride.

We kept on searching until we came to a dark room that had plastic sheets hanging all over.

I had a sickly feeling that we we're close to finding Russell and I was right as we stepped past the plastic, seeing a very unhealthy Russell laying on a hospital bed.

"Took you long enough. What infernal racket you people have been making" Russell said as he glanced at us and then sniffed the air before turning his head fully towards us with a smile.

"Ah miss Stackhouse, always a pleasure. What do I owe the pleasure?" Russell asked and Sookie scoffed at him.

"Fuck you, you psychotic piece of shit" Sookie said and then Eric stepped forward. "Hello old friend" Eric greeted him and I decided to also step forward and greet Russell.

"Do you remember me?" I asked him with anger lacing my voice. "We've come to finish what we started" Eric said and I smiled at him as both of us stepped forward.

"Well, as my great love, Talbot, used to say when we we're buck hunting: Give it your best shot" Russell said with glee in his voice. And then the fight started.
