I looked around the room, ignoring Salome, the evil slut vampire who tried to sleep with my male lover. I will never say the b word in case you're wondering…

Roman growled. "For the last time, Chancellor Deveraux, Salome is not on trial here!"

I pointed my finger at her. "Ah! But she should be! He belongs to me and my pu-"

Roman held up a hand. "Enough. No one wants to hear about your sex adventures."

"Sexcapades," I corrected proudly, feeling irritated that they weren't taking me seriously. "She should be killed. If not by execution then...I will...poison her!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at me and I feel I may slightly kill someone because I'm psycho and therefore am allowed to do this. Happy face.

"Isn't rape a crime?" I asked politely. "She tried to rape him until I stopped her...and beat her."

"Maybe he wanted it."

I scoffed. "With my big boobs and perfect ass? I think not!"

Roman and the rest of the Chancellors stood alone in a small room. I felt nervous only because Eric was not allowed to enter since they claimed that it was official Authority business. It seemed as if it was them against me. They were literally all on one side of the room while I was on the other side with my arms crossed over my chest.

Roman signed angrily. "While Mr. Northman and Mr. Compton are searching for Russell Edgington, I need you to watch their every move. You said you would be neutral when it came to them. Are you not a witch of your word?"

"Funny," I said unimpressed by him. "I said that and now things have changed. How can I be neutral to the corpse now? We're dating. Ugh, I hate that!"

"For the sake of your brother, try to be neutral."

I narrowed my eyes at him and smirked in amusement. "Please tell me, corpse that you aren't threatening me, the most powerful being here right in this room. I could kill you without even saying it. You would be nothing, but a pile of smelly goo and guts. Don't forget who my family is. I am a descendant of Lilith herself. Let's not test my power over yours."

Roman returned her smirk. "I would never disrespect Lilith or you, Your Grace."

I grinned wildly. I really liked this power honestly. Like I am literally dying of happiness that I am so powerful that they have to obey me and only me. There was nothing they could do about it. I am the fucking Queen. Bow down and kiss my toes. I really should make them so that. Seriously though, this is super fun!

"My Queen will do just fine or Divine Ruler. Choose whichever." I winked and stared at the rest of them. "My brother is to be kept safe here. Guard him with your lives after all he is also apart the royal family. If anything should happen to him-I mean if one hair is out of place when we return then I will burn this place to the ground and make sure your time in Hell makes you wish you never crossed paths with me. See you later!"

I turned and walked out of the room. They didn't need to know that I couldn't actually do that. They really didn't need to know that Lucifer shares no love for me and if they asked he would return to kill me. If they did then we were all fucked forever.

Is it a risky mission?

Hell yes!

Will I probably die from it?

Likely.

Do I care?

Honestly, no. I can take them all. It's time to get rid of Russell Edgington once and for all. He really needs to die. I'm tired of his ass coming back to try to kill me an my friends.

I stopped my stride and put a hand to my forehead. Oh my god! Sookie! Shit, I am a real shitty friend! Okay when we get back, I gotta help her. Something is wrong. I can feel it.

Or maybe I'm just crazy? Honestly though it would seem kinda right for me to lose my mind right about now.

As I turned a corner and walked into the weapons vault, I grinned as I watched them get iStakes put on their chests. Bill scoffed. "You're enjoying this way too much."

I shrugged. "You both look like you're wearing a nursing bra or are into some weird shit like dom/sub relationship. Sounds about right."

"Is Leo coming?" Bill asked.

"Yes...when we get Russell."

"What do you mean?" Eric inquired.

"Well, that was the deal I made with them," I grumbled in annoyance at the mention of the deal. I don't know if I should mention other parts of the conversation to Eric. Nah. He's fine. "Blackmailed me into catching Russell and then they would let us all go. Bastards!"

Eric kissed my temple as he chuckled. "Aw. They tricked you."

"Not surprising," Bill muttered under his breath.

For a vampire, he was pretty stupid. I mean has he not learned anything from the time he's known me. I'm afraid that I haven't drilled it into his head that I have an uncontrollable temper and am crazy.

Yep, he's dead.

Eric held me back when I lunged at Bill. "Ah-uh, we can't kill him. He saved our lives."

"Technically, I saved your guys' lives," I corrected. "Besides, he saved your life."

"Which should make you even more willing to let him live."

I flicked his nose and frowned when he tried to bite me. "I hate that you have a weird bromance going on with Scowl Lines. I mean I liked it better when we made fun of him and his outfits."

Bill furrowed his brows in confusion. "What's wrong with what I wear?"

I growled, "You dress like a fifty year old, divorced man with no friends. Your style makes Pam cry and we know she's basically heartless."

Bill gave me a blank stare. "Why are you not in an mental institution yet?"

I shrugged. "Getting out of things is a gift. Tiger had it too."

Eric raised an eyebrow at what I said. "So you've decided to refer to yourself in third-person now?"

"No," I drawled out since he wasn't being at that smart. Bill's made him dumb, I swear! "Tiger is my alter ego. The one who was here before I got my memories back. I mean where have you been for the last ten chapters or so, corpse?!"

Eric and Bill stared blankly at me before that girl who was putting their bras said, "You have to sleep with that, Sheriff."

I gaped at her. "How dare you! First of all, he should be lucky that he even has me in the first place since he did kidnap me and force my father to let him. Wait, am I having stockholm syndrome?"

"That explains everything," the girl said, shrugging. "It happens a lot actually. Aw that's actually kinda sad now that I think about it. I was really shipping you guys together."

"She doesn't have stockholm syndrome!," Eric growled loudly. "She's just fucking crazy!"

"Why are you with him?" She asked. "He seems kind of violent like not in a good way at all."

"It's the sex," I answered. "I think he's a little crazy from getting blue balls from me all the time. I can't help with that when you fuck yourself over each time Eric!"

As she taught them how to the iStakes are used, I took the phone from her and started to play with it. "Sooooo, this means that I can kill them right? Does the homewreaker have one too? Does the whore who tried to rape Eric have one too? Wait, who else has these? Give me another one so I can put it on someone else!"

"No," Bill shouted just as Eric said, "Don't you dare give her one."

I raised an eyebrow at her and said, "Now remember I am your queen soo you don't want me to get all pissy cause I am crazy. Who knows what I may do?"

The girl bit her lip and nodded. "Sorry, you guys, she's the boss around here."

The girl gave me four of those bra things and I gleefully took them in my hands. I will save these for a rainy day. I need weapons since no one will give me one. I mean what will happen if someone has a magic blocking thing and I can't use shit on them. I need to be prepared for war.

"We're not going to war," Eric reminded me. "We're getting Russell."

"And?" I drawled out. "You're hiding something."

They were silent and I looked around and realized that we were being watched. I rolled my eyes. "Are you guys really not gonna tell me? I hate secrets."

After we were basically pushed out of the van in the middle of the road! RUDE! I COULD BE KILLED FOR ALL THEY KNOW! WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE JUST DROPPED ME OFF AT A DENNY'S OR SOMETHING?

God, I'm really hungry.

"Russell may have been freed from his imprisonment," Bill explained as we walked down the road. "Someone betrayed us."

"Who? Pam? Jessica? Sookie? Alcide? Who would do that? I know none of them did it. It honestly could've been Gary for all we know."

"Actually it wasn't me," Gary said as he popped up next to us. Why won't he leave? "I can't leave you. My life is attached to yours, remember Belle? I have to be near you. Believe me, I don't like it either."

My nose scrunched up as I glared at him. "Fine. I'll find a way to get rid of you later. So if it wasn't you then who?! God, I am so hungry! Can we please stop by Denny's to get something to eat?!"

"No," they all said together as they walked beside each other.

"Starvation is not a good look on me," I sang and smiled at Eric. "If you get me food, we can do weird kimy shit with it?"

Eric stopped and looked down at me as though considering me. Yes! Give me what I want, corpse!

"She's lying," Gary snapped. "She's not into that dirty sex, remember, Eric?"

Eric sighed. "I know. I hoped she was telling the truth."

My face turned red as I yelled, "Well of course I was lying to you! WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO HAVE SEX WHILE EATING FOOD AT THE SAME TIME?! That is so disgusting!"

Bill shook his head. "It's quite bad actually. Have you tried it?"

"Ew, no! You all are pervs. This is why I need Sookie in my life."

So we didn't go to Denny's...no instead we are at the fucking club.

Stupid Fangtasia. I flipped it off as we went inside.

I went to the bar and took out the bottle of chocolate syrup and started to squeeze it out. I'd gotten in two gulps before Eric took it away and muttered, "You'll get cavities, witchy."

He kissed my cheek before going to sit on his stupid chair as Bill and Gary sat at the table. Eric patted his leg and I growled, "I'm not a fucking dog, corpse. I choose to sit wherever the hell I want."

Eric sighed. "You're still angry at me for not giving you Denny's."

"Well, I'm hungry so don't blame me for wanting what I want. What are we doing here anyways?"

"We are here for Pam."

I froze as I stared at him coldly. "You think Pam did this? Okay yeah what she did before we left was shitty and she did almost kill all of us, but still, she loves you, Eric. You made her.. You're her maker. She would never betray you like this. She knows that Russell killed your entire family and she would never bring him back!"

The door opened as Pam yelled, "Ginger, we're open till 4, bleach bucket! Where is everyone?"

"I sent them all home." Eric replied coldly.

I knitted my brows in confusion as I saw Tara walk beside her...with splatters of blood all over her. What the fuck happened?

"Oh, my God." Pam gasped softly, shocked at seeing Eric. "Sookie, you fucking did it. Well, no need for apologies, right? I'm certainly not waiting for one. Barely remember what we got all het up over. Let bygones be bygones, bi-girls be bi-girls-"

Pam noticed Bill and Gary and said impassively, "Oh, hi. Wait, what the fuck is Gary doing here? Didn't we get rid of you?"

"Tara, what are you doing here," I asked as I came beside her and hugged her tightly. I missed them all. It wouldn't be a life without any of them inside of it. "Fuck you, Pam for not saying hello to me even though I'm the only one here on your side."

"On her side?" Tara questioned. "What is going on?"

"First of all why are you here and bloody?" I asked curiously. "What happened?"

"Sookie fucking happened," Tara replied hatefully.

I stepped back and stared at her. "Tara, what the hell? Why would you say that?"

"She always lets us all die around her."

"Yeah so do I and last I checked you all offered to help us so don't come crying to us about it now," I reminded her.

"Why is she here?" Eric asked again.

"Uh...she's mine," she said awkwardly. "I made her vampire while you were gone. Congratulations, you're a grandfather which that makes witchy her grandmother."

"FUCK NO!" I shouted in rage. "There is no way she's a corpse."

"It was Sookie's idea," Pam informed me.

I shook my head "Sookie wouldn't let happen. She wouldn't do that."

"I took a bullet for her and she made me into the thing I hate most."

"Tara," I started.

"How would you feel if Eric did that to you? How would you feel if Sookie did that," Tara asked angrily. "I am gonna bet my ass on it that you would feel just as angry as I am feeling about now! You hate vamps! Just like me. You would probably stake yourself-"

Tara gasped in pain as I made her tongue get whipped. She held her mouth and stared at me in surprise. "Listen up cause I'm only gonna say this once...suck it up. Something shitty happened and Sookie couldn't lose you. I will bet my own ass that if you were put in her shoes you would do the same. If I were there, I would've brought you back to life without being a vampire and I wasn't. She probably feels shitty and you shitting on her isn't helping. Believe me I wouldn't have turned you into a vampire, but if that was my only option instead of losing you forever then I would do it in a goddamn heartbeat."

"Fuck you!" Tara yelled at me.

"Join me, will you?" Bill said as the room was silent as Tara and I stared at each other very angrily.

When they walked out along with Gary, I had chosen to stay here since I didn't trust Eric.

Pam asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What's happened?"

"Russell Edgington is free. Someone dug him. There are only handful of people who knew where he was. Did you dig him up, Pam?"

Pam shook her head. "No, of course not. Why the fuck would I do that?"

"Aah!" Pam screamed out in terror as Eric started to strangle her when they flew across the bar and into the counter. -

"Stop fucking lying!" He roared into her face.

"I'm not lying. I swear," She sobbed. "I don't know where Russell is."

I ran to them and moved him across the room with the flick of my wrist. "There you go! You got your answer. Just as I told you before, Eric. She doesn't know anything, she wouldn't that."

Pam looked hurt as she said softly with blood tears dripping down her face, "Look what's happened to you. A century together and never once have I ever done anything to hurt you to hurt us. How could you think I would go and dig up Russell Edgington? You're my maker, Eric and I would die for you, gladly a thousand times before I would ever betray you. You know I would."

Eric stood to his feet and fixed his hair as he warned her, "And you'd be a fool. I trust no one.
You shouldn't either."

I rolled my eyes. "Enough with his scowl lines bullshit! Eric stop being a drama queen."

"If I mean so little to you then why keep me around? If you can't trust me more than Bill Compton or- Or a werewolf, for Christ's sake then release me and get it over with. Just say the words," she batted him. "'As your maker I release you.' Say it and we're it!"

I stared coldly at Eric as he walked back into the office. I sighed and gave Pam a napkin. "I believed you, Pam. You may be a bitch, but you would never hurt Eric. God, you tried to kill me when you thought that he was gonna die. I'm sorry that he's an ass."

Pam sniffled and quickly wiped her eyes. "I'm used to it. When you've lived with him for a century, you start to learn his way of doing things."

"I don't want that," I admitted. "I love Eric. I do, but if this is life with him...I don't want that."

Pam look at me and said, "If you leave, you'll be putting him through all kinds of hell. You'll only make things worse for him. He loves you more than anything."

"Not more than you."

"That's what I thought until a minute ago," Pam said bitterly and walked away from me when Tara came back into the room.

I stood up and walked out of the club, needing to clear my thoughts. I know that his life is on the line, but acting the way he did was uncalled for. I don't want to have a life where I'm constantly looking over my shoulder to see if he believes me or not.

As I walked down the lonely road of Shreveport, I turned towards the woods and pulled out my phone, dialing a number I had gotten from my time in the Authority. The line kept on ringing and ringing until a gruff voice answered, "Whoever this is better know what time you calling at?"

"Is this Jackson Herveaux?" I asked softly.

"Who wants to know?"

"Hi, I'm Belle Deveraux...I'm your daughter," I replied. "I need to talk to you and this is the only time that I can talk to you before those corpses find out I'm gone."

"Those bloodsuckers got ya?" He asked angrily.

"Not exactly, but I need to know you."

"Where is Celeste?"

"Dead," I answered. "Is there somewhere we can meet that is safe? If the corpses find out where I am, I don't it to be my fault that something bad happens to you? Alcide will kill me."

"Alcide knows?!"

"Yes, he found out when I did...did he not tell you?"

She heard a crash in the background and then waited as he came back, "We'll meet at this bar I know. Weres only. They're good people. You can trust them."

"Send me the address. Let's say ten in the morning should do?"

"See you then, Belle."

I hung up and sighed. I was going to meet the man that was my actual father. I smiled sadly, missing the other man who raised and protected me for years. He was my true father. I miss you, Dad.

I slipped my phone into the pocket, a branch cracking stopped my actions. I turned around and scanned the area. The woods are a really creepy place just so you all know? I heard another branch cracking behind me and when I whirled around there was nothing there. I gasped in shock when I saw two red glowing eyes staring at me from the darkness. My hand lit up as a threw a fire ball at it. The glowing red eyes still stared at me as it dodged the fire ball.

I felt chills up my shine as I heard it laugh almost inhuman. "Poor little girl doesn't know what to fear. Doesn't know anything."

"Shut up and show your face," I snarled at it. "I'm a woman by the way."

"Little red riding hood all alone with the big bad wolf," it hissed.

"Why are you calling me...what is happening right now? Wait why am I not the wolf?"

"All alone in the world...and soon it will be just you and me."

"Who are you? What are you?"

"I am Malum," it said. "I am evil."

I stared into the glowing red eyes again. "You're evil? Last time I checked Lucifer was the first evil."

"No, you humans always screw up the facts from myths," it hissed. "We are here."

I froze as I saw pairs of glowing red eyes appear all around me in the darkness. "I can take all of you."

"You are alone. You are weak, cousin."

"Cousin?" I asked suspiciously. "Can you all stop fucking around and just tell me what is going on? What do you want from me?"

"Your soul," it hissed violently before something dark threw itself at me.

I screamed as I fell down into a pit of darkness, grabbing onto the roots from a tree. I whimpered in fear as I looked up in the starry night from a hole in the ground. "Help me! Eric! Someone please help me!"

I felt something starting pull my leg as if dragging me. My heart beat wildly in my chest as I struggled to hold on. I can't leave them, not when hell is coming. My hands were starting to slip from the root. I could feel them pulling harder and harder, my hand barely gripping onto the root.

I saw a surge of bright light being thrown at me and heard demonic screams from below. I screamed as well as I saw their faces. They barely had faces, sullen with holes in their skins and burns. They had no eyes and only black sockets. They all had only six pointy teeth. They were skin and bones, no hair either. Their long fingers had the long claws at the end of them.

I felt someone's hand pulling me up, their nails digging into my skin. I kicked them away from me, wanting to get away. I grabbed onto another root as I stared up into the face of Sookie.

"SOOKIE!" I yelled out happily, tears forming into my ears.

"I heard you," she whispered. "I ain't letting you go, B. Now come on now, pull your ass up from whatever the fuck those things are!"

I grabbed further onto the root and managed to ground the top of the hole as Sookie started to pull my body up with all of her strength. We both fell onto the ground, sliding away from the hole as it started to close up. We both were breathing heavily as she asked, "What the fuck was that?"

"Evil."

"Yeah, I know that, but what was it?"

"Malum," I answered as we stood up. "That's what it told me his name was. AKA evil. I was surrounded by demons I'm guessing and was almost dragged into Hell. How did you find me?"

"I was driving to see Alcide when I heard your cry in my head and I found you," Sookie explained and hugged me tightly. "I thought I lost you."

"Eric took me and wouldn't let me see you-it's a really long story."

"Good, tell me all about it on the way home," Sookie said firmly. "I feel so alone, Belle."

I nodded and squeezed her hand as tears formed in her eyes. "Me too, Sook. Can we go get Denny's though cause I'm starting to angry out of starvation and if I don't get any food now then I will kill someone?"

TBC…

Thank you for the reviews, follows, and favorites! As promised, another chapter! We're starting to get dark over here, but don't worry Belle still cracks jokes and is basically still a dick to everyone.

By the way as for Belle being pregnant in the future...well everything is not as it seems. I hoped you all liked this chapter.
