Chapter 38: Lilith is no God
A/N: Hey guys I hope you all enjoy this chapter and don't forget to leave your thoughts…
Russell stared at me as I looked back at him and then he smiled. "You want to reconsider cupcake?" Russell asked and I shook my head. "Go ahead, it sure as hell would make my life easier" I replied back to him.
Russell stood still for a few seconds as if he was in shock that I actually didn't care about Eric.
But deep down I did, and it's for that reason that I said it would make my life easier, because then there would be no one to care or worry about.
Russell nodded slowly and then in an instant he had Eric in front of me on his knees, wrists binded behind his back with silver. I heard all of it at once.
Bills fangs dropping and him growling.
Salome ordering the guards to restrain Bill.
And Nora storming forward.
"What the hell are you doing? I specifically said that Eric would not be hurt at all" Nora said as she looked between Russell, Eric and then me.
"Nora this is necessary for us to grow, we need this" Salome said and Nora shook her head.
"Any last words Mr Northman?" Russell asked as he took out a stake. Eric looked up at me and I tried telling him with my eyes to trust me but he kept staring at me.
"As long as she is the last thing I see, you can go fuck yourself for all I care" Eric said and Nora looked up at me and then back to Russell. "Please Russell I beg of you do not do this" she said and Russell turned to glare at her.
"If you can not sacrifice one small thing for the greater good then you do not belong here" Russell said and lifted his arm up with the stake and then brought it down and plunged the stake into Eric's chest.
Eric stared up at with wide eyes waiting for it all to end but it never did, eric stared at me with wide eyes not believing that he was still alive.
Russell laughed with glee as he stared at the stake currently in Eric's chest. Russell grabbed the stake and twisted it around inside Eric and laughed and he pushed and pulled it forward and back.
Eric grunted in pain every time the stake moved inside of him, so I grabbed the stake from the front and pulled it completely out.
Russell bended down and looked thru the hole that went right thru Eric's heart and laughed as he watched it heal and close. "How are you not dead?" Nora asked but was interrupted when Russell clapped his hands and looked at Salome.
"I knew that you would be powerful beyond imagination, you can do so much more that what you already know, you are perfect" Russell said and in an instant Eric hand Russell by the throat.
"Let him go Eric, he got what he wanted" I said to him and then he released him.
"You can go back to your room now, we will talk more later on" Russell said and I glared at him as I took Eric's hand and walked out of the room and back to our own.
Once we were in our room with the door closed I turned to Eric.
"So what is the plan?" I asked him as he kept pacing up and down.
"I am going to rip his fucking head off" Eric replied angrily and I sighed as I walked in front of him. "Okay what is the plan that doesn't involve dying?" I asked sarcastically and Eric glared down at me.
"Do not start your attitude shit with me right now. What was that in the room that you allowed him to stake me?" Eric yelled back at me and I rolled my eyes at him.
"You know you can trust me, I wouldn't have had let anything happen to you. I have everything under control" I said back just as hotly as I could feel the anger starting to boil within me.
"Oh yeah? How did you know it would work, your 'abilities' works when it wants to, not on your command!" Eric yelled in my face and that just pushed my buttons further.
"I knew it would work. I felt it inside of me, why are you going off at me? I was the one who saved you. Go scream at your fucking sister who might I add 'betrayed' you!" I screamed right back and after that we were both breathing hard glaring at each other.
"Leave Nora out of this" Eric said to me with menace in his voice.
"Are you threating me now? So if it was between me and Nora you would choose her?" I asked Eric but he kept staring down at me.
"There won't come a time I have to choose" he said to me and I scoffed at him.
"You're wrong. There will always be me or Nora. You and Nora have a history and so have we. Can you tell me that there won't be a one percent chance that Nora will want sexual relations with you?" I asked him and he sighed as he looked at the ground.
"Oh my god, she already has! That Lilith loving cunt" I seethed out as I stormed to the bathroom and angrily ripped my clothes off and replaced it with one of Eric's shirts lying on the counter.
I walked back out to see Eric sitting on the bed thinking hard on something, and I knew that something was bothering him.
"Let's get some sleep. I have a feeling it's going to be a hard day tomorrow" I said to Eric and waited until he climbed under the covers and pulled me into his side.
"We shouldn't fight, it's what they need" Eric said to me and I nodded because I knew he was right.
I sighed as I closed my eyes and fell straight asleep, having no idea how much that little trick took out of me.
I woke up as I heard Eric moving around in the room.
"What are you doing?" I asked him as I sat up in the bed and saw that he was getting dressed.
"There is a vampire meeting in a few minutes, it was kindly advised that I attend" Eric said to me and I sighed while rolling my eyes. I didn't feel like dealing with Russell's shit today, I felt on edge and about to snap.
"I'll be back soon" Eric said to me as he bent down and kissed me.
"Be safe" I called out as I stood up and made my way to the bathroom to take a long hot shower. I felt relief instantly as the hot water cascaded down my back, I never wanted to leave this shower but after at least thirty minutes I knew that I had to get out and get dressed.
I had to sneak around and get a few answers.
I wrapped the towel around my body and started drying my hair, just when Eric walked back in.
"So what happened?" I asked him as I dropped the towel and got dressed. But Eric didn't answer me as he kept starting at me. "What? What happened?" I asked him starting worry that something bad happened.
"They made us drink it. They made us drink Lilith's blood" Eric said and my eyes went wide and then I laughed out.
"So…that doesn't mean anything" I said and Eric glared at me. "Who know what is going to happen? Things are already feeling funny" he said and paced around.
"It's vampire blood, nothing will happen Eric. I am sure that you bit another vampire before, stop whining and help me think of a plan to get out of this fucking place" I replied back to him as I threw my hair up into a bun.
"You don't get it! Salome says she is a god" Eric said and I looked skeptically at him. "It's vampire blood, gods do not exist" I said and Eric was about to reply but the door open revealing none other than Nora.
"Let's go Eric" she said and I glared at her. "Eric isn't going anywhere" I said and Nora smiled at me.
"Eric, come. We are all going out" she said and I looked at him with a brow raised.
"Eric you remember the conversation last night, well the time has come to choose" I said to him and he looked between me and then Nora.
"You know I don't have a choice" Eric said and I shook my head as I marched over to him and stood in front of him, taking his face into my hands.
"No you have a choice, we can leave right now. March thru those doors and make our way out of here. You know that we can. Just say the words and we can go, right now" I said to Eric begging him with my eyes to say the words so that we could leave. I knew this place was bad and would lead to destruction somehow.
Eric lifted his arms and took my wrists into his hands and brought them down from his face.
"Don't hate me for this" he said and turned to walk to Nora. Once he was at her side she smirked at me and took Eric's hand into her own. I felt rage instantly and walked towards them intending to force Eric to stay but before I could Nora pushed me back hard and it made me fall to the floor and skid to a stop against the wall.
Eric looked at me with a frown and then he walked away with Nora by his side.
"No but I hate you for this" I said meaning that I hated him for not doing anything when Nora threw me back. I stood up and felt something warm in my neck and when I touched my head I felt it was wet. I knew if I brought my fingers back that they would be stained red.
"You think Lilith is god? Well Russell let's find out just how powerful I am" I said to myself and stretched my fingers out as I pulled my powers forward.
It took me a while to get it right but once I did I played around with my powers and smirked when it worked fully.
A few hours later I sat in the middle of the room meditating, trying to figure out how the powers worked and when they would come up most, when the door opened and I could already tell that it was Eric.
"Something happened" Eric said but I stayed on the ground and didn't open my eyes.
"Did you not just hear me, I said something happened" Eric said again and I sighed out.
"I don't give a fuck" I sing-songed out but Eric quickly picked me up off of the ground and shook me.
"Lilith exists, and you are just fucking taking it as a joke" Eric said to me and I smiled at him and then laughed. "I guess it worked then?" I asked as I shook his hands off of me and walked over to the couch but Eric stopped me once again by grabbing my arm.
"What are you talking about? I just told you that Lilith exists, that I saw her. She was real and…" Eric said but I glared at him as I interrupted "And nothing! She isn't fucking real. I conjured her tonight. I proved how powerful I can be by letting you dimwits see something that is not real. And I am going to keep this charade up until I can pick each and every fucking vampire in this building off one by one." I growled out at him and he stared at me with shock.
"Why did you show me Godric?" he asked and I frowned at him.
"Are you stupid? I showed you Lilith not Godric" I said and Eric stared down at the ground.
"I saw Godric, he talked to me. Said that I should save Nora" Eric said and I rolled my eyes and turned around.
"Great here we go again with Nora" I said but Eric flashed in front of me and stared down at me.
"Let the fucking Nora thing go. Do you not get it? Godric showed himself to me, you didn't conjure him. That only means that Godric is dead" Eric said and I knew I had to act quickly so I turned my back on him and forced the tears to my eyes.
"No, he can't be dead" I said out brokenly and I fell to the ground on my knees sobbing out for the stupid vampire.
Eric rushed to my side and pulled me into his own. "We will find out who did this to him. And once I do, they will never feel the relief of the torture stopping" Eric growled out and I nodded into his shoulder, and then felt Eric pick me up and carry me to the bed where we both laid in silence until we were exhausted and pulled into a deep sleep.
