I leaned over to Leon as we held up our hands in surrender, suggesting, "Maybe you're wrong about them being the Authority?"

"How?!" Leon whispered furiously to me.

"Maybe it's not the Authority," I repeated with a small smile. "It could be someone trying to get revenge on the corpses. No one likes them."

The man in a black padded uniform barked loudly, "In the name of the one true Vampire Authority in whose wisdom and justice all is made manifest by God, do not fucking move!"

Leon stuck his tongue out at me as he taunted, "I told ya so. I was right, you were wrong. I like being right."

"You're annoying," I stated boldly. "I still don't see how we're related. I'm perfect. You're blah."

"I'm not blah. Bill is blah."

"No, you are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

Leon was about to bite back at me when a gun was aimed at the both of us as another man in a black padded uniform shouted, "You two! Stop bickering! Act your age!"

Leon and I scowled at the corpse as Leon asked rudely, "Who the fuck are you to tell us what to do? Do you know who you're dealing with? Powerful gods! That's fucking who! We can easily kill all of you! Watch!"

He zapped him when he came closer to him, Leon had a smile on his face as he watched as the man fell to the ground. He snapped his fingers and then the water from under the docks started to fly up into the sky like a tsunami. It was serious shit. Leon gave a war cry as he raised his hands in the air. I nodded in appreciation. "Nice."

I saw a man come behind Leon and taser him. I couldn't help, but laugh at my brother's body shaking wildly. I backed away with a deep frown as I cried, "Ew! He's foaming!"

"You're a horrible sister," the man in-you know what? Let's just call him Poopie Head Number One. He said this to me.

I nodded with conviction. "Yeah...I know. Yet he still loves me."

And here I thought angels were so good that they weren't allowed to kill or threaten anyone…does the fact that he's a corpse make it different ergo loophole!

Eventually, Leon passed out. Drama queen. They dragged his unconscious body and us towards a large black van in the parking lot. A limo sat quietly beside it which was weird as it was guarded by five guys. Two men held me down onto the cement as they stabbed me in the neck with a syringe. Eric struggled wildly to get out of their arms and to me. He groaned in pain as they held him down by a silver glove on his shoulder.

"Did you, corpses, clean that needle?!" I yelled out in question. "I don't want to get infected by you all! God only knows what kind of diseases you may have?!"

Eric tried to step towards me again as my face sat on the ground. It was really uncomfortable. They pointed their guns at him as he warned, "Don't you touch her or I swear-"

"You'll swear what exactly?" Poopie Head Number One chuckled. "You have no authority here, Sheriff Northman. Belle Deveraux is wanted for murder and treason by the Authority. The Guardian will explain your crimes-all of your crimes tonight."

MURDER?!

"Bullshit," I grumbled aloud while still on the fucking ground. "I haven't killed any of you corpses...yet. Trust me, the thought is going through my mind right now."

As they started to drag me away, Eric told them hastily, "She has no memory! She lost it a month ago. A witch took it away, the same witch who created everything. Hecate."

"You lie," he seethed.

Eric shook his head. "I'm not."

"Have them compose a test if you will?" Bill suggested. "Surely, she can't go to trial for a crime she has no knowledge of."

I looked between them as I added, "Seriously, if I killed any of you...well, I would be smug about it and brag the shit out of it. I hate all of your pale asses."

Poopie Head Number One ran his fist into my face and it was lights out for this girl.

Sookie and Alcide held their hands as they stood over the Bible. Alcide grumbled, "I don't think this is working. They're obviously ignoring us."

Sookie shook her head. "They're here. I know it. Keep trying."

Smoke and yellow sparkles formed above them and they watched as it shaped into a cloud.

"What the fuck?" Sookie muttered as they saw Gabriel appear in the cloud. "Gabriel! We need your help-"

"Sorry, you've seem to have reached our angelic voicemail," he laughed at his joke. "Get it? 'Cause we're angels-"

"No one thinks you're funny," Uriel's voice came through as he called out to him. "And no one will ever laugh at that joke."

As they started to argue with each other, Alcide looked pissed off as he stated, "They sent us to fucking voicemail. Belle is gonna get killed by Russell, not to mention that she's got no idea how to use her powers and memories and when we need those assholes most, they send us a voicemail!"

"Well, they are related to Belle," Sookie reminded him. "Of course, they would be as shitty as her."

The door opened and Lafayette came in, stopping in his tracks as he asked, "What the hell are you two doing?"

"Calling the angels, but they sent us to voicemail," Sookie answered angrily.

"Uh, Sook, we need to talk," Lafayette said before realizing that Alcide was listening to their every word intently. "Alone."

Sookie let go of Alcide's hands and the cloud disappeared, they walked outside into the backyard, putting as much distance between them and the house as they could. "We need to keep looking for Tara and here you are, calling some angels."

"I'm calling them for Belle and Tara. Maybe they can reverse this since one of them happens to be the angel of death, Lafayette," Sookie explained.

Lafayette scoffed. "Whatever, but do you think it's a smart idea to be near that one since we killed his ex?"

"She was trying to kill us and I pulled the trigger when she shot Tara," Sookie said. "We had every reason to act like that."

"Then why aren't you bothering to tell Alcide what really happened?" Lafayette questioned. "Go on then, Sook. Tell him. We both know that he won't see it that way."

Sookie sighed as she watched her friend leave her. She looked to the sky and muttered, "I swear, you angelic bible freaks, that when I get my hands on all of you...you'll all regret ignoring my call and sending me to voicemail."

Eric paced the cage before kicking it wildly and repeatedly. Nora rolled her head over to him as she said, "Are you daft? The cage won't break and you're not the first to try or to fail at breaking them."

Eric rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to stop until I see Belle is safe and sound. Do you know where they took her?"

Nora looked away as she responded, "Eric, they're torturing her."

Eric closed his eyes as he fell onto his bed. "No, I would've felt it."

"Whatever they put in her, stops her powers and perhaps the bond you have with her as well," Nora suggested as she looked back at him. "Eric, I know them. Whatever Belle did, they will make her pay for it and dearly. They might use you to get to her or use her to get to you. Either way, we're all seriously fucked."

Guards came walking into the cells hours later and pulled each of them out. They were brought to an elegant room that had half of a lounge area and the other like a conference room. Looks like they finally modernized it. Thank Gods, the last theme was shit, Eric thought.

They were brought to their knees in front of the large table as the members of the Authority started to fill in the chairs. One of the black chairs turned around and Bill and Eric were stunned at the sight of Belle smirking at them.

"Hello, corpses," she greeted gleefully, her chocolate colored curls going down her back as she stood up in her black five-inch high heels. Eric's eyes slid down her body in appreciation at her long legs and the dress she wore made everything worse for him. She wore fitted long black dress with a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps. It didn't help that there was a slit on the dress that showed her pale legs that ran for miles. Her lips painted a blood red and Eric tried to stand up to kiss her, but he was restrained by a guard who silvered him.

"How...why...um, what?" Bill struggled to ask.

Belle smirked and said, "Yeah, they made me a member of the Authority."

"A chancellor," Salome corrected which made Belle roll her eyes.

"Go suck a dick, Salmon. You're good at that." Belle retorted.

"Why would anyone do that?" Bill asked bluntly, earning him a smack on the head with a book by Belle. "Ow! Why would they let you in?"

"Cause they clearly see that I am perfect and awesome. Where's Leon?"

Eric sighed. "Still passed out. Tiger...you look delicious."

Belle flipped her hair as she replied, "I know. They have really nice clothes here."

Eric pushed his lips out as Belle leaned down and kissed him passionately. Roman called out, "Enough. He's here for his crimes, not for you to play with."

Belle moved away, but not before patting Bill's cheek roughly. Rosalyn rolled her eyes as she asked the people at table specifically Roman, "Why does she get to do that? They are on trial for Lilith's sake."

"Because somehow, Chancellor Deveraux can be unbiased towards her paramour and whatever the hell Mr. Compton is to her," Roman stated. "Believe me, I was shocked too."

Belle shrugged. "What can I say? I find it fun to see Eric and Bill get tortured. It's a quirk of mine."

"Shall we begin?" Roman said as he stood up, chanting as he retrieved the vial of blood from himself. He each gave a drop of blood into their mouths.

Belle denied him as she scowled, glaring at Roman. "I'm allergic to blood."

Roman and Belle had a stare down for a moment until he began, "The blood of Lilith. The First the Last the Eternal. We are born of Lilith, she who was created in God's image. The First the Last the Eternal. We swear fealty to the Blood and to the Progenitor. The First the Last the Eternal. Lord and Lilith, Father and Mother protect us as we protect you from this day until the hour of the true death. And in Lord and Lilith's name we say Vampyr. Bless thee, Hecate and Lilith."

Eric was completely shocked to hear Hecate's name and he looked to Belle to see her smiling as she winked at him. Eric knew then that his Tiger had somehow made her way to the top just by using her mother and grandmother's names. They would obey Hecate since she created all of them including Lilith. Hecate is the Goddess of Vampires while Lilith is the One True Maker. Smart move, Tiger, very smart.

He gave her nod as a way of saying he understood her plan. Once they were done, Belle spoke to Roman by saying, "Remember our deal, corpse. I want Eric and Bill. They're my slaves."

Of course that would be her request, Bill thought grimly.

Roman nodded. "Yes, how could I forget? You remind me every minute."

Belle gave him a soft smile as she said simply, "I only do it because I know that you'll try to make me forget about it by not talking about it. I want them as my slaves-my bitches."

"I really don't like you, darling," Rosalyn stated with hatred. "You filthy witch."

Belle pretended to take out a lipstick which happened to be her middle finger as she pretended to take off the cap and put lipstick on her lips. "Fuck off, ginger corpse."

Rosalyn glared at her as Alexander laughed. "I like her. She's funny."

Belle growled. "I hate all of you."

"Chancellors!" Roman called all of them to attention. "Mr. Compton. Mr. Northman. To meet under these circumstances, it is a shame. One of several recent disappointments. You think you know somebody. You consider them an ally for centuries. And when they betray you they won't even tell you why no matter how persuasive you can be."

Nora's eyes widened as she pleaded as the guards started to pull her away, "No. No. No, you know I'm innocent."

Once she left, Roman continued, "You're in a real pickle here, boys. According to Nan Flanagan, you-what is it she liked to call you guys? Fuck Up One and Fuck Up Two."

Belle laughed and clapped, "That's funny. Aw. She was annoying, but Nan really knew how to be a bitch."

"She called you Witch Bitch," Roman stated.

"I prefer witchy," she countered with a wide smile. "It's more catchy."

"You have made egregious errors. Rocket launchers on Main Street? Not to mention your war with Hecate. A goddess, a powerful one at that. She was threatening to kill off all of us. Keeping that quiet wasn't cheap. Now, Nan, ahem, was no prize either. Still, she was Authority. And that, boys, is the point. We are the Authority. I am the Authority. The true death for Northman means the true death for Northman. Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Sanguinista movement?"

Roman looked to Bill for an answer who replied, "I don't even know what it is."

Belle rolled her eyes. "And you say I'm dumb and naive."

"Mr. Northman."

"You know, I'm trying to stay away from politics as much as possible," Eric mocked politely.

Roman narrowed his eyes at Eric's impassive attitude. "Are you?"

"And religion." Eric added. "Trust me in that when I say that I've had my fair share of that. You can thank my Tiger and her insane relatives."

"Aw," she cooed. "You do know your way into a girl's heart. He is right though. My family is certifiably insane. Bar fights, scheming, murder, thrown out of home, and that drama mama."

Roman gave a mock shrug as a way to intimidate Bill and Eric. "You just in it for yourself? You think the whole concept of the common good is hopelessly naive?"

Roman turned to the rest of the other vampires who all seemed to have a sense of calmness to them. "Chancellors?"

"Well, it chaps my ass to say this but when you got lame horses, you put them down," Rosalyn quipped. "The mainstreaming agenda is just too damn important. It cannot fail. True death for these fellas."

Belle looked curiously at her as she asked, "Hey, are you from Texas? You sound like it. Oh! Did you know this corpse who liked to dress up as a cowboy? I think he was still mental since children dress up like cowboys."

Rosalyn did not look pleased at what Belle had said who simply smiled widely at her. Meanwhile, Kibwe began to speak as though he already sensed a fight brewing between the two, "They destroyed a very real threat to all vampires. If there is no documentation of humans being killed by vampires we are infinitely better served letting them live."

Alexander slammed his tiny fist onto the table causing it to crack as he yelled, "They killed an Authority member!"

"She was on her way out," Kibwe responded cooly barely glancing at him.

Alexander huffed. "She-"

Roman interrupted the beginning of a heated debate, "As you can see, this council has had heated debates over what to do with you two sons of guns."

"Seriously, where are you guys from?" Belle whined. "You corpses sound weird."

Eric couldn't take his eyes off of Belle as she sat in one of the chairs at the table. She wouldn't stop grinning at him. He thought of her smile as like a cat who ate the canary and no one knew about it, but her. She looked like she belonged there, she fit in nicely with the rest of the Authority members and it seemed to Eric that they viewed her as an annoying little sister who you couldn't get rid of.

Belle was something else and the Authority knew it too. Yet Eric knew that no matter how far gone Belle had been, she would always protect them. No matter what. She went to the folders on top of the table in front of her as she stood up.

"Chancellor Deveraux, I believe it is you time to present your case to us," Roman stated.

Bill immediately questioned, "I don't...is she our lawyer?"

Roman nodded. "Yes. She's willing to risk her valuable life to convince us that you both are innocent."

Bill shook his head. "She's horrible at arguments. All she does is yell, hit, or simply throw things at someone opposing her. Why, she even tried to stake me when I left some dirty footprints."

A look of betrayal came onto Belle's face before hatred filled her face as she rolled up some of the papers and started to hit Bill on the head, saying, "Bad corpse! No!"

"See!" Bill exclaimed as he kept moving his head away from her hits. "My point has been made! She's the one who's certifiably insane, not her family!"

Belle stopped hitting him and shrugged as she tapped the papers on the palm of her hand. "I agree. I could be insane. I did lose my mind."

Belle gave a soft smile to Eric as he leaned up to kiss her. Belle jumped away, saying, "Hey! What did I tell you about giving me herpes with your lips?!"

Eric looked suspiciously at her as she continued, "Your crime is clear, Mr. Northman. You are a thief! You've taken a relic...something extremely precious like my purple hat!"

Roman groaned in frustration as the rest shook their heads in exasperation. "No! What did I tell you?! I'm not killing them because they took your goddamn hat! I made that very clear! I said that you are supposed to be defending them, not prosecuting them!"

Belle looked perplexed as she questioned, "On what?"

"THEY KILLED NAN!" He roared at her.

Belle seemed unaffected by his outburst as she tapped her chin with her fingers. "Are you sure?"

Alexander slammed his hands on the table in anger. "I don't believe this! Is she stupid?!"

In an instant, Belle lunged over the table at Alexander and strangled him. Eric smirked, thinking about how now Belle went to great lengths to actually strangle a child. Eric then remembered something that Belle had said to him and Rosalyn earlier.

She remembers Stan and the conversation she had with me about herpes and now accusing me of taking her purple hat. Does she remember?

Belle stood up as Alexander groaned and Eric saw the papers stuffed in his mouth along with Roman's special stake stabbed in his stomach. She examined him with indifference and said, "Oh, look at that. I must've missed your heart. How about that?"

Belle straightened her dress as she continued her case, "Okay, corpses. I know that these two fuck up most of the time like every season, but they do it for a good reason. Nan wasn't going to kill them and I have evidence that she was trying to convert them into her sanguinista movement and they like humans and want to coexist with them and they both know that defying the Authority is a no-no especially if they're into human genocide. So they killed her as she was trying to kill them for saying no to helping her take you all down."

Roman eyed Bill and Eric as he inquired, "Is this true?"

Eric nodded. "Surprisingly, yes, it is. Nan was planning to take down the Authority and we stepped in to stop it."

"Still," Rosalyn drawled out with a fake smile. "You boys killed a member of Authority. Innocent or not, she had more power than the both of you combined."

"She threatened my life," Belle announced. "They were just protecting me and the people I find valuable. We should be rewarding them, not punishing them. What will that say to the rest of your kind? Doesn't matter if you're loyal to us cause we'll give you the True Death anyways. Unless of course, you reward them for spying on each other and therefore, that way you can keep an eye on everything. Kind of like that book, 1984. Big brother is always watching, but instead it's you corpses who are always watching."

Roman stood up, and replied, "If we do this then it would give the humans a peace of mind on whether or not if we can control our kind before they step in. They outnumber us, but even then, we must make an example of Compton and Northman. Those who don't obey the Authority, will face the true death. Every vampire on this council has committed our careers and lives our destinies to mainstreaming. Coexistence with humans is not an option, it is a necessity. It is merciful. It is just. It is vital. Not to mention yet again that they outnumber us. Any threat to mainstreaming is a threat to us. Fundamentalism is a dead end. And I won't fucking have it! Not out there and most certainly not in here."

Roman cleaned his special stake as he asked, "Do you have anything to say before I pronounce sentence?"

"I offer you an exchange. Our lives in return for Russell Edgington," Bill proposed and Eric looked to Belle who looked very pissed off.

Rosalyn and some of the other members started to laugh as Roman stated, "Russell Edgington is dead. Nan Flanagan assured me of it. She assured the world of it on camera."

"Sheriff Northman and I consigned him to the ground but we did not kill him," Bill said. Tragic mistake."

"Because he has now broken free," Eric finished which made Belle scoff at.

Belle slapped Eric and Bill across their faces and seethed, "I asked you about him and yet you lied to me. I already knew about Russell because my mother told me, but I was giving you a chance to tell me the truth and not lie to me for once."

As Eric's face stung from Belle's hand, Roman gave them a small smile. "Sounds like a lie to me."

The chancellors looked uncomfortable and worried as they heard Eric say, "But it is the truth. Whether we live or die, you will find out soon enough."

The smile fell off of Roman's face as he went towards them, but was stopped by Salome who suggested, They have every reason to lie, but, uh...I must say that I'm intrigued."

"Russell wants nothing more than anarchy," Bill reminded them. "If you would like your entire mainstreaming agenda and your administration with it to be completely obliterated then by all means ignore me."

"The only thing Russell wants more is to see us dead," Eric added. "He wants Belle dead as well so think about that."

"Why?" Salome asked with intrigue. "Why kill Chancellor Deveraux?"

'He pissed me off. Then I pissed him off," Eric explained. "He knows about how I feel towards Belle."

Salome nodded in understanding. "She's your paramour."

Belle raised an eyebrow. "What the fuck is that? I already hate it since you seem to have the tendency to nickname me, corpse."

"It's French for lover," Salome answered. "It just doesn't mean that. It gives an entirely special meaning to that specific person. It could be other things, but I like to think of it as someone special to you."

"What are the other meanings?"

Bill shook his head. "If you know then you will kill everyone in here. It's another word for mistress...or girlfriend."

Belle's nose scrunched up in distaste. "Ugh, Salmon. I hate that word."

"Why would you keep Russell Edgington alive?" Roman demanded.

"Because they felt that death would too kind," Belle responded. "Why not let him suffer for eternity?

"After what he did, we felt that true death was too good for him," Bill responded to Roman.

"As Bell said, we wanted him to suffer," Eric said.

"You wanted. You disobeyed the Authority to satisfy your feelings."

Roman sped up to Bill and held his jaw as he held the stake above him, yelling at him with his fangs bared, "I feel like staking you so fucking much right now."

"Guardian!" Eric shouted. "I was the one that did it."

Roman growled. "You were king and you allowed him? Lilith help me, I am going to stake you."

Just as he was about to plunge the stake inside of Bill's chest, Belle's hand on his wrist stopped him. Bill and Eric looked relieved to see her stop him. "I veto it, Roman."

"Are you fucking serious," he growled lowly as they glared at each other.

"Do I look like I joke?" Belle asked calmly. "I don't tell jokes and yet you think I'm not serious. We had a deal and they belong to me now. Remember? Or should I remind you? I would just hate to give your janitor one hell of a mess to clean up."

Eric watched as something passed through the both of them and Roman seemed to calm himself as he let go of Bill's jaw and stepped away from him as did Belle. "Unfortunately unlike the two of you, I understand there are a great many things more important than my personal desires. I know my place and destiny."

"Guardian, I promise you. Now Russell is free. He will stop at nothing to find us and when he does you will be there. To put an end to him as we should have," Bill proclaimed. "I offer this to you as a final gesture of solidarity. I, like you, believe that mainstreaming is possible. And essential. But Russell must be stopped. I fully expect to meet the true death either way."

Belle clapped her hands and two guards came in as she said, "Well, that settles that. I will take them both to my chambers as you all discuss what to do with them."

The guards practically dragged them as Belle started to walk out of the room and down various halls. Her face held a fake smile on her face as she passed everyone in the hall. They didn't talk as they walked down the white halls to her bedroom. Belle pushed them inside which caused them to almost fall onto the ground. She told the guards to fuck off and go away before closing the door and locking them.

Belle unlocked their handcuffs before she opened her closet doors and said, "Eric, don't be mad."

Eric and Bill gave each other a cautious look as they heard grunts and then shuffling. Belle dragged out a chained up Godric who had a stock stuffed in his mouth. "I caught Gary. He was the one to rat us out to the anti-christs over there. He was stalking me apparently. I put him to sleep."

Belle then proceeded to punch Bill and Eric in the chests as she growled, "I thought you guys killed Russell. You told me so!"

Eric's face lit up as he whispered, "You're back."

Bill looked awkward and scarred for life as he watched Belle and Eric kiss each other quite passionately. "Um...can you both please stop."

Belle glared at Bill. "Shut it, scowl lines! I missed the stupid corpse! If you don't let us have this then I will kill you and then kill myself and blame it on you thus disgracing your name!"

"How?"

Belle looked to Gary and answered, "He did it. He gave me my memory back cause it wouldn't be fun to kill his nemesis if they don't know who they are or who you are. Yeah, he was standing over me while I was sleeping in here. He woke me up by throwing purple dust in my face. Big mistake because he seemed to have forgotten one tiny detail. You both know how I am when I am rudely woken up from my nap. Let's just say that I haven't lost my touch."

Eric kissed Belle affectionately and whispered, "Oh, Tiger-"

Belle put her hand over his mouth as she stated, "Nope. Go back to witchy or else, no sex forever!"

Eric scoffed and raised an eyebrow at her. "Are you sure you want to play that game with me, Tiger?"

Belle smirked. "I have survived without sex for a long, long time. Can you, Eric? You bring whores to your bed every night. Unlike you, I don't let my cave of wonders or your cervix crusader dictate my every thought and action. Anyways, the Authority wanted me because they want to make me the next Queen of the Vampires. Supreme ruler of the corpses, and guardian of the Authority."

"Because of your relation to Hecate, God, and Lilith," Bill realized. "Therefore, you have more power than the rest of them, yes? Which is how you were able to even veto Roman's ruling."

Belle nodded "Yup. I'm supposed to be queen here. The Queen of the Corpses. Bend the knee!"

"No, I will not until you get it in writing," Bill retorted.

Belle rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'll ask Sergio to get it."

"Sergio?" Eric questioned furiously. "Who the fuck is he?!"

Belle laughed. "My bodyguard. Calm down, corpse! We have bigger gods to fry. I already put men on finding Lucifer and Hecate. They may be quite, but with Russell out...I now think that they probably took him. They also took blood from me when Salome was talking with me before I remembered."

Bill looked worried as he asked, "What did she say to you?"

Belle shrugged. "Nothing of importance. Tried to scare me into thinking that because I have no family, friends, or powers that I will die quickly if I don't obey Roman. I need to get to Sookie and Alcide so I said yes to all of this. This is the only way that I can protect her of what's to come. I had a vision of Russell escaping. I'm worried about her, something is wrong."

"We need to get rid of the Authority first," Bill reminded her. "You are considered a higher being to them so maybe you will have more pull. They take Lilith seriously and if they believe who you are then they will consider you royalty."

Belle nodded. "Yeah, I already figured that one out. I have a plan and it doesn't involve you guys dying. Yet."

"Careful, Miss Deveraux, you actually sound like you care," Bill quipped.

Belle's eye twitched. "Whatever, scowl lines. Let's just get the hell out of this corpsey government place. Yuck!"

Sookie couldn't handle everything that was going wrong in her life.

Tara, Alcide, killing Debbie...it was all going straight into the ground. She needed Belle, Sookie knew that she would understand why she did what she did. She had to. Sookie put her hands on the steering wheel of her car as she parked it in the driveway. She knitted her brows in confusion as she saw a small package on her doorstep.

Sookie got out of the car and saw that it was addressed to Belle. She picked it up as she went inside of the house. She peeled open the paper and opened the wooden box which contained Celeste's grimoire, letters, jewelry, stones, and a letter that caught Sookie's eye. She picked it out and gasped as she saw that it was from J.D, Alcide and Belle's father.

Sookie saw that it read,

Celeste,

You can't hide her forever. She's one of us, she belongs with her pack and she deserves to know who she is. Give me my daughter or I will take her and hide some place where you can never find us. Tell me her name, I want to know her. She's my daughter too and we both know that you don't hate me. I am on your side. I am not the enemy here.

Yours,

JD

Sookie let the letter drop from her hands as she began to quickly dial Alcide, muttering to herself, "Come on, come on, come on...pick up!"

When it went to voicemail, Sookie cursed and wondered how the heck was she going to explain to Belle and Alcide that JD knew all along about Belle being his daughter. Sookie couldn't believe it! JD did really love Belle and wanted her in his life. She knew that Belle would be happy to know that she did have at least one loving parent.

Sookie felt saddened that Celeste would do such a thing to the Alcide and JD. She tore her away from her true family simply to free her stupid devil brother. Sookie confused at how JD kept on mentioning the pack and how she belonged there. Was Belle a were? If so then why repress it?

Sookie had a determined look on her face as she took out the grimoire and began to read everything in it.

I am going to stake all of them! Assholes! How dare they treat an angel like this?

Leo tried to rub the back of his aching back and to stretch out his limbs, but found that he was in a windowless metal room strapped to a steel chair. He banged his head against the headrest with an irritated look on his face. He groaned as he saw that he was still in the Authority and not home. Great...just fucking great! I am in the enemy territory. I won't hear the end of it from them.

He heard someone tsk as they came in front of him. Michael raised an eyebrow as he scolded, "I told you to not get involved. I asked you of one thing. Stay out of it."

Leo scoffed loudly. "How could I, asshole?! If you expect to watch from the sidelines as my world goes to shit then you don't really know me at all."

Michael groaned, "That's why I have given you this order. I knew you would do this and thought that maybe you would listen to reason. But you lied to me and said that you wouldn't have do with the future here."

"The prophecy," Leo began as Michael clicked his tongue in anger and turned away,shaking his head.

"There's no way around it," he told him. "This is known and has been for thousands of years."

Leo scoffed. "So you all are just gonna sit on your angelic asses and do nothing! People will die. My damn sister is gonna die if I do nothing."

"Don't you think I don't know that. That I don't care," Michael screamed at him in fury which was rare for the angel who seemed to never lose his calm composure. "I care. I tried getting around this, but it is no use stopping. Lilith will rise and Belle will be her vessel when she does."

Leo looked away as he recited the prophecy, "There will be eternal darkness throughout the world when the Maker arises from death. Reborn through a child shall they be, and abolish all who come. A vessel of the light will either bring light or darkness into the world."

"We could be wrong," Michael suggested.

"It's Belle especially with her luck." Leo shook her head. "She's related to God and Hecate. Darkness and light. They created Lilith who is also technically a child of light and darkness since she was created by them. The Mother and Father."

"It was Celeste," Michael said. "It was her and she is dead. Lilith will rise and it's unstoppable."

Leo shook his head. "No! I don't believe that. We can stop it. Give me a month."

Michael looked doubtful as he pursued his lips. "No. It can't be done. I am an angel and I believe in the impossible, but this...this is fate. Destiny you are trying to mess with."

"Russell is back and Lilith is rising. Belle is not safe here," Leo reminded him. "Three weeks."

"You're right," Michael conceded. "Two weeks. That's all you get. Find out what you need to know, give it to Belle and move her to someplace where no one can find her."

"That's impossible."

Michael smirked. "Actually no, it's not. Her werewolf of a father. No one, but us knew who he is and Celeste would never admit to mating with a dog. Hide her there. The Authority can't go on were lands. It's forbidden unless they want death especially with them being outnumbered."

Leo nodded. "Praise be Him, I will not fail you."

"I hope not, nephew. The world is literally in your hands. Should you fail then all lives on your soul forever," Michael said in a grave tone before disappearing into white smoke.

THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS, FOLLOWS, AND FAVORITES! You guys are literally the best out there for readers with this story and there is definitely more Belle POV next chapter. She is literally fucking with Authority to get what she wants and she wants to know if they know anything about Sookie, Lucifer or Hecate then get the hell out of there.

Belle's got her memory back! YAY! I like memoryless Belle, but I love Belle who remembers everything. Trust me when she gets home to the shit show on Bon Temps she's pissed. She's pissed that everything is messed up and that technically she has feelings for Eric more than Godric, but won't admit that he's her "paramour".

Godric is her friend, but it's hard writing their romantic scenes since they have no place yet and I hate those stories that drag that shit until chapter 52. I will try to make that happen, but fucking Gary is still alive and he needs to go. Belle is gonna make him her pet and obey her every command and she figures out how next chapter.

I hoped you liked this chapter.

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