I groaned loudly as I felt a huge weight on my body. This bastard!

I growled as I opened my eyes and saw Leo looking down at me. I turned my head and laughed as I saw Eric and Godric practically hugging each other, both had an irritated expression on their faces.

"You shit," Eric growled as they all stood up. We all had dust over our bodies and I started to wipe some of it off of me. I let out a loud cough as some of it got into my mouth.

"Serves you a-holes right," he yelled at them and crossed his arms over his chest. "You practically left me to die!"

"What?" I glared at them angrily. "I thought you two said he left."

Leo started to laugh sarcastically. "Oh, that's fucking hilarious! They lied to you, sis! The fucking assholes send me on this wild goose chase that led to fucking nowhere by the way and then I was tied up and almost kidnapped! So for part of my vengeance, I took away the honor of saving my sister's life and possibly getting into her pants."

I was actually not offended by that as I probably would've seriously had sex with one of them. Great now I'm a slut. I scratched my chin and looked over at them. "Why? Seriously, why, you guys?"

Eric shrugged. "I was bored."

I looked to Godric. "I was curious."

I narrowed my eyes at them and replied, "You guys are such dicks. Are you okay, Leo?"

He nodded. "I managed to escape, but guess what? Celeste saved me for a price…"

"What was the price?"

Godric looked worried for a moment as Leo said, "I gave her the documents, Godric."

I let out a heavy and irritated sigh. "What are the documents because obviously they sound important?"

Godric answered, "The documents that Leo had obtained from Celeste were about the witches. One of the files was about you and what you can do. She looks like she gathering some kind of army."

"Then why the hell isn't anyone stopping her?"

"Because she's making it seem like she's only strengthening her coven and not preparing for a war."

"Well, we need to stop her then," I told them firmly. "Right after we shower...not together obviously because that would be weird."

Eric raised an eyebrow and stepped forward. "That sounds like a perfect idea for us. Imagine the wetness-"

"STOP IT, YOU PERV!"

I stomped away and crossed my arms over my chest. I squealed as I was suddenly picked up into Eric's arms as his laughter warmed. We flew into the sky and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"This doesn't change anything, corpse!" I yelled into the sky.

We stopped flying and just floated in the air. I gaped at the scenery around us and it all reminded me of that scene in the Moulin Rouge when they floated in the clouds with sparkling rain coming down on them confetti style. The stars shined brighter than usual around us as the clouds floated slowly around, the light of the moon gleamed onto our faces.

"Doesn't it," Eric asked softly, looking deep into my eyes.

Shit. Double shit.

No, scratch that out, it's actually triple shit!

I shook my head. "I-I...why now?"

Eric was silent as he flew us back to the hotel. We walked in silence to our room and I bit my bottom lip.

"We're still gonna take out Celeste, right?" I ask him once the door to our room shut.

"How? We need to form a plan."

"Here," I said as I grabbed the diary entries from the book that Leo gave me. "I found these in the book. Celeste's diary to be exact and she wrote about Godric. A lot actually, she didn't want to have kids because the more kids she had the less powerful she is. Lillian would've gotten most of it since she was the eldest-"

"Who's that?"

I let out a heavy sigh. "My older sister. She died and these entries make it seem like my mother planned to kill her for power. The eldest get the most power because they are the first born. It was a curse in my in my bloodline because we are purebloods and one of the original bloodlines, that the first born will always hold the most power. That scared Celeste which is why she chose to be with Godric. Vampires can't have kids!"

Eric started to put the pieces together as he said, "That would explain a lot. She kept all of you a secret from Godric which is why they broke up."

"Why is she planning an army?"

"Maybe she's planning to take over the vampire world as well as the witch's," Eric suggested. "We'll find out, but the Authority won't do shit against her."

I nodded. "Yeah, I wouldn't want to either since she's like the most powerful witch alive now."

"Second most powerful witch," Eric corrected with a sly grin. "The most powerful one is standing right in front of me with a dumb look on her face."

I glared at him and then smiled. "And don't you forget it. I wonder if Celeste knows it."

"She probably does," Eric responded. "Trying to see if you powerful, she would have felt the effects of the loss of power already whenever you had your strange surge of power."

I smiled smugly up at him as I corrected, "Actually, my power is very rare according to Leo and what I can do is control energy, corpse. All kinds of energy. Watch!"

The lights started to flicker as all of the objects in the room started to float in the air. I clapped my hands in excitement and then I jumped in fright when the furniture fell to the floor with a loud crash.

"Yikes," I whispered as I saw the mess I made. "HEY, DON'T LAUGH AT ME, CORPSE! I'M STILL LEARNING!"

Eric petted my head and kissed my nose. "You tried, I'll give you that."

My eyes narrowed at him as I pushed him away. "Yuck!"

Eric watched me as I started to put everything back in place then asked, "Where's Godric staying?"

"Why do you need to know?"

I shrugged. He's right. Why was I even asking? "His home got blown to pieces. I thought he had nowhere to go and would like to stay with me?"

"You mean at my home?"

I rolled my eyes. "Does it matter? I feel bad and want to do something."

Eric's head tilt to the side in curiosity as he mused, "Careful, witch, looks like you're growing soft on my kind now."

I scoffed and crossed my arms over my chest. "Oh, please, I like Godric. He seems different."

"And you like different?"

I thought about it for a moment and shrugged. "Yeah I guess. He doesn't seem like most-well, he's not like you."

As I turned around, I let out a surprised gasp as I saw Eric was standing very close to me. He backed me into the wall and trapped me there with his hands on either side of my head.

"Don't be stupid now, Belle Deveraux. I like that part of you," Eric told me. Thanks, I guess, is this what he wants me to say to him? "Godric made me who I am today. He was no friend to humans and he isn't now."

"Then how do you explain the mercy he gave to them? If it were you, I know that you would have made everything worse and killed innocent who didn't know what they got themselves into?"

"They knew," he growled. "They always know."

"Jason Stackhouse didn't. He's a prime example. He's a good person who was in a dark place and wanted some light in there so he looked for it and made a mistake. We all make mistakes. I make them all the time and so do you," I countered passionately.

"Godric is not like those humans," he sneered.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why do you have so much hatred in you?"

Eric seemed shocked at my question and stepped away from me for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"Come on, I mean you hate a lot of people."

"That's the pot calling the kettle black."

"Your hatred for them is stronger, you want them gone. You're no better than those God freaks that almost killed us today."

Eric scoffed. "I wouldn't-"

"Yes, you would be like that except you're not that obvious, but I can see it in your eyes. Have they wronged you?"

"They took Godric. That should be enough of a reason why."

I shook my head. "No, it's something else. Even before Godric was taken, you were cruel."

"Look, I don't have to explain myself to you or anyone else because I could care less what anyone thinks of me!"

I don't know why I found that statement hurtful to me. I mean he's just a corpse to me...maybe he's starting to grow on me? What a horrible thought…

I pushed him away from me, but this corpse wouldn't budge. "Eric. Ugh, move out of the way."

He grabbed my arms and held me against the wall, looking down into my eyes. Right then and there was the time when I felt small in comparison to Eric. He towered over me as he pushed a stray hair away from my face.

"Perfect as always, right?" Eric said bitterly before striding to the bedroom and slamming the door behind him.

What the hell just happened?!

I suddenly didn't want to be in the suite once I heard loud crashes coming from the bedroom and so I went out of the room and went up to the roof for some silence. I grabbed a pillow and blanket on my way out since I always wanted to fall asleep under the stars. The night was blooming with stars all around as I went outside. I smiled at the little piece of silence that I had received in this moment. I sat down on the cold floor and looked around.

I don't know how long I had been out there for because then I saw that the sky turning back to a dark blue color. The sun was about rise. The air was still hot which made me laugh since the sun wasn't even out yet and I was already sweating. I looked to the few stars that were still shining in the sky and started to spell my name in the sky.

I sat there stunned as I saw the stars begin to form my first name in them. I don't know what my mother was up to, but the fact that she seemed to be starting a war frightened me. Did she want me gone to receive her power?

I missed my father then and wished that Eric permitted us to have contact with each other, but that was one of the rules in the deal. My father and I were to have no contact with each other what's so ever or the deal would be broken and my father would still owe his debt to Eric. I wished that I could talk to him, but unless I had the hundred grand that he owed him then I couldn't.

My eyes closed to the sun rising on my face.

I got a little sun burned when I woke up in my bed. Someone had put me there and Eric had his arms wrapped around me tightly. Too tight to the point where I couldn't escape him...but you know me, I always manage to escape him somehow. I went to Sookie and Bill's room and thankfully, Sookie let me borrow Bill's laptop.

"Why do you need to borrow it?"

I sighed. "The only reason I'm telling you this is because you can't be glamoured by Eric. Part of the contract I have with Eric is that I can't contact my father. If I do then my father still owes the hundred grand to Eric which would basically make us homeless."

"I still can't believe that your dad sold you-"

"It wasn't his choice. I was sick and the hospital bills cost a lot of money. We didn't have that kind of money and Eric came in with a cure for me and promised to pay for everything which he did," I explained to her.

"If I was rich as a queen, I would give you it so you could be free," Sookie told me which actually made me smile.

"I know, but even then Eric wouldn't let me go. He's determined to have me. Forever."

Sookie rubbed my back and nodded. "I won't tell anyone, not even Bill about this. I'll keep checking for any replies to you from your dad."

"Thank you so much, Sook," I said gratefully as I hugged her tightly before beginning to write to my father.

Dear Dad,

It's been awhile and I know that I am risking everything to contact you, but I just needed you. I feel so alone and I miss you so much. I met my half-brother, Leo and Celeste again. She's consort to the King of Texas. I think she's planning something evil...I wish I've never met her. She's too cruel. I met Godric and he seems nice to me. Eric is weird around me, but he's not mean to me. I'm not hurt, just lonely I guess.

I don't blame you for any of this and neither does my new friend, Sookie. She's special like me, it's so good to have someone to talk to. Bill is her vampire boyfriend and although his scowl lines are far worse than yours, he's not so bad, but he is shady though. Sookie is keeping my secret about this message to you so only reply to this computer or email, I don't know how this works.

Leo gave me a book of my family history with all kinds of spells in it. Turns out I'm a witch and that I can control energy, all kinds of it. I'm learning to control the power that I have, I'm getting better. All I do for Eric is basically be his maid in case you were getting the idea that I'm his sex slave though I don't think he would oppose to that, stupid corpse is always making me do things like wash his nasty ass clothes. Well, that's all I got for now, but I love you, old man. I'm always thinking of you.

-Your Kid

I hit the send button and sighed heavily. Well, there's no going back now.

TBC…

THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS, FOLLOWS, AND FAVORITES! I was really torn about who should save Belle so I couldn't choose and then I decided to add Leo in there since he's been MIA. They fucked with him for various reasons so he decided to be Belle's hero instead of letting them be her's. I hoped you liked this chapter.

REVIEW. FOLLOW. FAVORITE. Until next time...
