Guess what?
Sookie got herself into trouble again!
Those idiot corpses let it happen! How they let it happen is beyond me?! But seriously, how in God's name did they fuck up? Well, I'll tell you! They let her go into a church-a corrupted and violence loving church with a human to protect! I'm sorry, but that is simply stupid because Hugh could never protect someone like Sookie who is a magnet for trouble and I seriously doubt that Hugh could-
"HIS NAME IS HUGO!" Isabel snapped at me, making my ears drum hurt a little. "Hugh-go. How many times do I have to tell you?!"
Shit. I was saying my thoughts aloud once again! Maybe I need a therapist or go to a doctor or something...ew, just the thought alone is making my toes curl(not in a good way) and my hair turn to grey.
"Don't mind her," Eric brushed off. "She's always does that. I mean that literally."
I rolled my eyes. "Anyways, you two are stupid idiots. I mean you let Sookie infiltrate the fellowship and look where that got her. She's trapped in there."
"Hugo is fine," Isabel tried to assure me, but I seriously wasn't convinced. "If he were in trouble then I would feel it as well."
"And did you feel anything?"
"I did," she sighed. "But it passed. He's fine."
"Then let's get our asses to there and go save them," I told them.
"Yeah," Leo agreed loudly.
The both of us started to march to the door, but Eric's hands held our shirts, pulling us back.
"Slow down, you two, we're not going in there. Yet."
I rolled my eyes. "Pussy."
Eric chuckled and raised an eyebrow at me. "That's new. What happened to corpse?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Honestly, you're being a complete pussy right now. It's annoying."
Eric growled lowly in his throat. "Believe me, I want to go."
"But first we need to find out if they even have Godric."
Leo stepped forward and closed his eyes as he touched Eric who did not like being touched.
"What are you doing," Eric asked in a dangerously low voice. It kind of scared me actually that I stepped away from them.
"I'm looking for Godric, dum-dum," Leo explained then shushed him. "Shhh! Now be quiet. Your voice is annoying me and I need to stay focused."
"Remove. Your. Hand."
"No."
"Remove it."
"Nope."
"I said-"
"Can't do."
"I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON'T-"
"Found him," he sang brightly as he smiled at him. "They have him. He's in a basement. Guess what? Sookie and Hugo are there too."
Interest sparked in Isabel's eyes as well as concern. "How do you know?"
Leo took out a pair of red panties and Isabel's eyes widened. "I found these."
"Where-never mind. Give me those," she said as she quickly grabbed them and put them in her pocket.
"Ew," I said aloud.
"I was able to track Hugo with something of yours since he has your blood in his system still. He looked worried," Leo said with suspicion. "He was yelling something at Sookie."
"What was it?"
"My visions don't work like that. I get what I get and I can't ask any questions," Leo reminded us then frowned.
"Let's go then," Isabel said. "They won't kill them, but they will kill Godric at dawn. It's probably why they're having a lock down to show their people that they are as powerful as they claim to be."
"Well then let's go see how powerful these bible freaks are then," I said, making my way towards the door.
Eric held my shirt again causing me to choke a little as he pulled it back and I fell into his chest. "No, you're staying here."
"WHAT?!"
"Stay here and read your book" Eric told me as he placed the book into my arms. "Read like a good little witch."
"Careful," I warned. "Or I may just be crazy enough to put a hex on you, corpse."
"I wouldn't dream of anything else, witchy," he mused before he winked at me.
"Oh please," I snapped at him and crossed my arms over my chest. "Like I give a shit about your wants and needs, Eric Northman."
"Stay," he told before the three of them started to walk out of the hotel room.
My hand acted on its own as it grabbed a lamp and threw it towards Eric's head. Sadly, it barely missed his fat stupid head. Eric turned his head calmly and Isabel looked worriedly at the both of us. He smiled and teased, "You need to practice on your aim, witch."
"I will and when you're back, the lamp or something harder will hit your head."
The three of them left me as I walked to the bedroom and sighed as I opened the large book of my family history. The first thing I came upon were diary entries ripped from the diary of...Celeste Deveraux. I glanced through them and kept on seeing Godric's name written on every one of them. I started to realize that she didn't want anyone to find out about her relationship to Godric. I wondered why she would dare to hide her affair with him.
Dear Diary,
I feel almost ridiculous for writing about the vampire named Godric. He's not like any other vampire I've met. He was thoughtful for one and had his humanity sorted out.
I heard he was a monster in the past, he did terrible things. So how could I let myself fall to affection for him? Him?! I am one of the most powerful witches in the world and yet my heart beats too fast for me gather every time he's in the room. He knows it too. I think that is what hurts me the most. He acts with such indifference to everything. I do not know of his smile and I fear I never will.
Godric is from another world and I am as well. Mother says that I am to be queen someday, she has predicted it. She says that my powers will grow and grow, but when I have children, that power will be passed onto them. Specifically my first born. The thought that all of this power falling through my fingertips like sand all because of a child pushed me towards the prospect of an affair with Godric of Gaul.
My eyes widened as I thought about my older sister Lillian. The thought of my mother conspiring to kill my own sister so that she would stay in power caused all sense to leave me. I knew then that someone wanted me to find these letters which showed a whole new side of my mother. I frowned as I realized that I would need to find out the truth while I was in Dallas, I had to keep this a secret for now.
At least until someone asks me of course then I'll spill the beans…
Eric, Isabel, and Leo all looked over the field where laid a church and as Eric called them, "Scared little boys with bibles and crossbows." That made Leo laugh and agree with him while Isabel warned them to not underestimate them. Leo eyed Eric curiously as he stared at the church ahead of them with such intensity and focus that Leo felt like he was doing nothing. He felt like a horrible person. In truth, he wanted to get to Godric and ask him a few questions regarding his mother. Godric always knows what she's up to and he was the only vampire she'd ever taken to bed...well, that was before the King of Texas. She wants him for something and Leo wanted to know what she was plotting this time.
He knew that if she found out that Belle had powers then Celeste would surely come after her first and destroy, taking her power. Luckily, their mother didn't know about Leo's powers, but as soon as she felt weak, she would suspect him soon. Godric and Eric had kept his secret when they each found out.
"How does Celeste feel about your interest in her daughter?"
Leo smiled. "She doesn't know. Oh, he's in big trouble."
"I have no interest-"
"You made a deal with her father," Leo reminded him. "You could've had anything you wanted from him yet you chose Belle to be your slave forever."
"And you obviously like her," Isabel added in.
"Obviously," Leo scoffed.
"I don't like her," Eric protested, but not strongly.
Leo eyed him and questioned, "Are you sure about that? How ironic though! I remember when you claimed to despise all witches because they're organic and like to hold grudges that last for thousands of years."
"How do you know of this?"
"Remember, old friend, we used to be partners in crime together."
"I will deny ever being your friend until the day I meet the true death."
Leo frowned. "We were friends once upon a time or else, why would you keep my secret?"
Eric sighed heavily. "Opportunity I suppose."
Leo frowned once again. "I don't get it. How? Like you did me a solid soooooo now I have to do you one someday."
Eric smirked and nodded, looking amused. "Now you're getting the game, Leon."
"It's Leo," he sneered lowly at him. "Okay, blondie, you're cunning I'll give you that, but in no way in hell will I ever do you a solid unless you release my sister from your stupid contract."
"Why would I do that?" Eric asked, clearly confused by his demand. "She's too much fun."
Leo looked to Isabel for help, but found her smiling in a knowing way at Eric then at Leo who she raised an eyebrow at. Leo soon caught onto what she was thinking and saying to him.
"Oh," he drawled out, chuckling. "You like her."
"What? No, I don't. Don't be ridiculous."
"Oh, come on, dude, you totally have the hots for her," Leo tried to make him see. "Or else why would you keep her near you? I bet you even tried to kiss her."
Isabel laughed. "Like she would ever let him get close to her. Your sister calls him a corpse and hits him whenever she gets the chance. She despises vampires."
Leo shrugged. "Maybe it's her way of saying that she likes you guys."
"She hissed at me when we first met," Isabel reminded him. "That has never happened to me before. Though she is quite entertaining, isn't she?"
"I don't understand the appeal of humans as a longtime goal. Their lives are shorter than ours. Don't you find the prospect of them growing old, sickly, crippled, somewhat, repulsive?"
Isabel smiled gently as she looked into the distance, thinking about Hugo. " I find it curious. Like a science project. I mean isn't that why you're interested in Belle...because you find her curious."
"And what exactly do I find curious about her? It isn't her life span," Eric mocked.
"Everything," Isabel answered. "Even I can say that I've never met anyone like her before."
"Yup," Leo chimed. "My sister's a keeper!"
"Shush, warlock boy," Isabel told him then turned back to Eric. "You have an interest in Belle Deveraux and it's not for purely curiosity. How odd."
"My only interest is finding Godric."
Isabel sighed in resignation. "Of course."
"Don't look at me like that," Eric told her as he stared straight ahead, trying to put Belle out of his mind. "Do you really believe these fools could overpower a vampire such as Godric and hold him for weeks?"
"Stan is sure of it. But I have known Godric a long time. It's hard to imagine anything could overpower him."
"Not anything human," Eric growled. "Perhaps a certain blonde witch though."
Leo nodded. "My mother does have great influence around these parks. She practically owns Dallas. Why would she want Godric out of the way?"
"Maybe he found something he wasn't supposed to," Isabel suggested. "Godric was being secretive before he was abducted. He had a spy I think in the palace."
"Do you know who?" Eric asked before looking over at Leo. "You have this loyalty to Godric for no reason. Why?"
"You know why," Leo told him. "He was like a dad to me when I had nothing. My mom was horrible. I found out that she's capable of pretty anything. I'm repaying a debt to him."
Eric looked as if he didn't believe him, but sighed altogether. "Godric is missing. We don't have time for secrets and we don't care for them either so if you are hiding anything then talk. Now. Who is the spy?"
"What makes you think-"
"You live in the palace. You're like a spider, you always know everything that goes on in that place or Dallas for that matter."
Leo smiled in victory. "Oh, so you do remember me?"
Eric didn't answer him so Leo continued, "I'll make you a deal, blondie. If you admit-honestly admit that you and I were friends, then I'll tell you everything about what Godric was up to, but before you answer, I must tell you that you won't like what I tell you."
Eric sighed heavily. "Alright, we were friends-not best friends, but friends all the same. Happy?"
"Very actually. Why did you deny it?"
"I have my reasons."
"Alright, well, a deal's a deal," Leo responded. "I'm Godric's spy. He wanted to know what Celeste was up to since she made it clear to him that she had something up her sleeve or something which started to worry Godric. I retrieved some documents for him and then the next day he was gone. So I tried to find him on my own and I couldn't without his blood. I dropped a hint to a friend to Isabel's that it would be best for her life if she were to include you into this since he's your maker and all. I didn't know that you'd bring my sister though and well, you know the rest about what happened."
Eric almost looked shocked at the boy standing in front of him, realizing that he was a force to be reckoned with. The boy he knew would never dare to pull that kind of a stunt off, he never had the balls to actually. Eric wondered what changed since he'd been away from his young friend.
"Do you think she did this?"
"At the time of Godric's abduction, she was with me," Leo said. "Believe me, I wanted it to be her. I guess these bible loving freaks will have to endure my wrath then."
What the hell?
I couldn't believe my eyes, much less what my own lips were doing. Eric was kissing me and I was letting him. THE CORPSE IS KISSING ME!
I was reading my book, trying to figure out my powers which I did thank you very much. I had just made the bed levitate off of the floor until Eric slamming the door scared the shit out of me. I yelled at him at first, but then I saw that he was crying, a blood tear in the corner of his eye.
I don't know why I did it, but I took the end of my sweater which I put on immediately after Eric had left and started to wipe the tear off. I told him that I was sorry for some reason. I actually didn't know why I was showing any kind of sympathy towards Eric especially since I was his still under his stupid contract which I think is still fucking invalid.
Then the corpse started to kiss me passionately. I mean this guy's tongue was extremely talented and I don't like french kissing that very much. I could get used-NO! Don't you dare finish that sentence! I will not!
I pushed him away and slapped his chest. "Eric Northman, what are you doing kissing me like that or well, kissing me at all?!"
"Why? Why not?"
I gaped at him then narrowed my eyes. "Because I don't want this. I-I don't want you. I'm sorry. I could never as long as you still have that contract. We're not...we're too different."
"I'm not asking for a relationship with you," Eric said as he frowned at me, but held my face in his hands. "Just one night. Even you have to admit that there's this sexual tension between us. Let's get it out of our systems."
"Sexual tension," I echoed with confusion. I don't see it. I've never seen it. "What are you talking about? There's none of that here. All I see is an angry witch who doesn't like vamps and an arrogant vampire who likes making me angry. That's it."
Eric let go of my face and stepped away from me. "We found the church and Godric's definitely in there. Sookie and Isabel's human might be in there as well."
HA! I ALREADY KNEW THAT! God, I love being right sometimes…
"Cool. So what are we gonna do next?"
"I'm going to take a shower," Eric muttered before walking away from me and into the bathroom.
I eyed him curiously before letting out a heavy sigh and falling onto the bed.
God...hello, are you there?
It's me.
It's Belle.
Why? Why do you do this to me?
I heard loud rumbling and for a minute, I actually thought that He was going to answer me...but it was just my stomach. I guess I haven't eaten all day…damn.
TBC…
