"Do you love Eric?"

I stopped drinking my cup of hot cocoa while Sookie drank whiskey. Since I'm a pussy and hate that stuff, Sookie was nice enough to make me hot cocoa...she's a nice girl. Why don't guys like her more? Oh yeah, it's because they're all icky pervs!

Poor Sookie.

I squirmed in my chair as we sat in the living room of her house. "I reluctantly love him. Believe me it was one sided for a long time."

Sookie nodded. "Let's say that he did what Bill did to me or what your mom did to the both of your dads...would you still love him?"

I don't like this conversation at fucking all. "Why do you all always want to know about my feelings? Are you all really that obtuse that no one can tell what I'm feeling?"

Sookie laughed which I stared at since she was crazy for laughing in a serious time like this. I looked around, checking for a prank camera where Eric would pop out and curse that I didn't share my true feelings with him. That seems like something he would do because he's a penis face.

"Why are you laughing, have you finally broke, Sook?"

Sookie shook her head. "I'm just...I feel…"

"Ugh, first problem you have there. I feel this, no I feel that-wait I can't feel this!" I mimicked in my best Sookie voice, she was not happy. "Who cares? It's not like the world is gonna scorn you for loving Bill. It's okay to still love him. He was the first person to love you for you. I'm not saying that what he did was okay, but it's okay to still feel something for him. There's nothing like your first love."

"Now why can't you be like this everyday, Belle Deveraux?"

So ungrateful!

"That is so rude, fairy princess! Also because I'm not drunk on chocolate all the time." I answered, glaring at her. "Sookie, corpse and scowl lines are coming here any second now. They're here for Russell."

Sookie looked confused for a moment. "Russell? Russell Edgington?"

"Yes."

"The vampire we almost burned alive?"

"Yup!"

"As in the vampire who Eric and Bill killed?"

I rolled my eyes and yelled, "YES! He's back to come kill us! He's fucking alive somewhere! Someone brought his moldy ass back!"

Sookie was silent for a moment before she got up and went to the cabinet. This girl...this fucking girl took out a bottle of vodka and started to down the whole damn thing. I shook my head, seeing myself holding her hair back as she vomited all over the place like that girl in the movie "the Exorcist".

I don't care though...I'm gonna let her drown in her own vomit. That will teach her to drink irresponsibly!

"You're very mean," Sookie said as SHE DOWNED THE BOTTLE AGAIN! "I never realized how mean you were. You say your thoughts aloud and shit….that's messed up. Your one flaw...well you actually have many."

I do not like where this conversation is going.

Sookie drank again. "I can't believe those corpses lied to us! Why do they always have secrets? Why do you all lie to me?"

"Um, I don't lie...I stretch the truth, it's not my fault you can't tell whether or not I'm lying."

Sookie scoffed and made an ugly face at her. "Oh please, you're such a liar! I thought we were best friends. You lie! Liar! Liar! PANTS ON FIRE!"

I backed away from Sookie before suddenly throwing a pillow at her face. Sookie fell into the wall and stared blankly at me before she grabbed a pillow and started to throw it at me. Like the ninja that I am, I dodged that fucker and went behind the couch where then a bunch of things came flying at me.

I picked one of them up and saw what it was...SOOKIE HAS A NERF GUN!

"Hey! That's not fair! Where the hell is mine?!"

A small blue nerf gun slid across to me and I smiled. "You must be really drunk."

"I demand a battle!"

"Sookie! Stop it!" I tried to say as if I meant it. "No, don't try. Oh no, now I have to defeat you."

Sookie hiccuped and then I came from behind the couch and started to shoot at her while she shot at me. I gave a war cry as I slid across the floor and fell onto the other chair as I aimed for her blonde head.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"

I looked from behind the chair and saw Alcide standing in the foyer, looking confused as hell.

Sookie and I shared a look from across the room.

"You're my brother," I yelled. "You have to be on my team. Don't think with your dick! I'm blood. She's just tinkerbell."

Sookie wordlessly shot at me and I winced as it hit my temple. I stuck my tongue out at her and she shot at me again! I ducked and looked to Alcide as I pleaded dramatically, "Brother, please!"

Sookie threw Alcide a white nerf gun. WHERE IN THE DEVIL IS SHE GETTING THEM?! I bet you she has a secret stash somewhere hidden like under the floorboards.

Alcide jumped to my side and I gave me a fist bump. "I knew you were the better one."

"Better one what?"

"Better suitor for Sookie," I said nonchalantly. "Brownie points big brother! I'm keeping score."

"Of course you are," Alcide sighed. Wow. He didn't even thank me. "How much do I have?"

"Negative three hundred."

"What?!"

"Just kidding."

"You brat," he muttered.

"Hm, I've never been called that before," I pondered aloud. "I don't like it. Change it."

"You are a brat. Let's destroy Sookie before we fight."

As we suddenly stood up from behind the chair, we yelled as loud as we could while shooting at her, "DESTROY!"

Sookie squealed in fright. "You boneheads! That ain't fair!"

I cocked my hip out and clicked my tongue. "Who said anything about this being a fair game?!"

Sookie glared at me. "You're right."

"No," Alcide said gruffly. "We won fair and square."

I blinked.

Then shot at him as Sookie gasped.

"Traitor," she whispered. "He's your brother, B."

I shook my head. "He's weak. To win the Game of Thrones, you win or you die...there is no middle ground."

Hey, Belle! That's not your show!

Shut it, Sookie! I can do whatever the hell I like! I can say whatever I want to too!

We will get copyrighted!

Oh righttttt….that.

Also I don't think all of our readers watch that show.

….what? Hey, what's wrong with you guys? You have HBO! Watch it!

Belle...there is some nasty stuff in that.

We are the same though-whatever! Crybabies.

Sorry about that, folks, let's continue with the story!

"He's weak?" Sookie questioned. "You come from the same family."

I shook my head. "Nope. I came from a family that kills each other for honor and funzies."

"That's not a word."

"Not yet."

Alcide pointed his gun at him and said, "I reckon we are the same, sis. I'm a double agent. I was never on your side."

"I knew you liked Sookie better than me!"

The door slammed opened as Alcide shot at me. I gave him a wicked smile as I fell to the ground crying out in pain.

I clutched my side as I let Eric's arms come around me. I gave Alcide the middle finger behind Eric's back who was growling at Alcide very, very dangerously.

"You've hurt the woman I love," Eric started to say.

"Reluctantly love," Sookie corrected.

"You shot at her...she could've been killed."

Alcide scoffed. "Please tell me...oh my god...you're fucking serious. You're just as crazy as she is!"

I take great offense with that since I'm pretty sure that Eric is crazy than me by a long shot.

"You hurt her."

Alcide shot at Eric who didn't even flinch as it bounced off of his chest. "Yeah, I definitely tried to kill my sister right now. The nerf would get lodged into her fucking skin and poisoned her."

Eric huffed and looked at him over his shoulder. "Stop being dramatic, witchy."

I gapped at him. "Corpse! He tried to kill me! Fangs out and shir open as you fly at him to kill him."

"None of what you said right now made any sense, Belle," Bill told me.

"I'm sorry, scowl lines, did I ask for your opinion," I asked sarcastically.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yes. What is the point of that question?"

"Feed her," Bill told Eric as if I didn't exist at all!

I swear...God, you better interfere or else there will be corpse heads rolling tonight.

"Why are y'all in my house?" Sookie asked bluntly, reloading her nerf gun. "We were in a very serious war with each other. I was about to win too when y'all came in."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh please! I would've destroyed you all!"

"Two against one," Alcide sang proudly. "I would've knocked your witchy ass down."

"No," Eric snapped angrily at him. "That is my word. I made it. I gave it to her. I get to call her that. She is my witchy."

I stared up at him. "God, why can't you ever fucking chill?!"

"Can we go into the kitchen," Bill asked in exasperation at the three of us. "We're here on vampire business."

"Yeah," I drawled out. "I already told Sookie everything about what's going on. We got drunk and then we had a nerf war...she's pissed. She didn't know I'm afraid so she's off the list."

"You are a horrible chancellor," Bill said. "You can't do that."

"Why not?"

Bill looked incredulously at me while I smiled. "You just can't-why not? You just can't!"

I shrugged. "You two pissed me off with what you did to Tara and Pam. I wanted to avoid that again and so I walked out. Then I was attacked by someone claiming to be my cousin from Hell who I've decided is going to be called Demon Cousin or Hellish Cousin-"

"I like Hellish Cousin," Sookie said. "It sounds cool-wait! What about 'my wicked cousin'?"

I shook my head. "The Wicked Witch nickname is already given to someone."

"So was Hellish, remember?"

"How about 'my Demonic Cousin'?" Alcide suggested and I nodded.

"I dig it. All in favor of my Demonic Cousin, say 'I'?"

"I," we all said in unison except for Eric and Bill who were glaring at us. Screw those buzzkill corpses anyway! "The vote was unanimous."

"What?!" Bill exclaimed in disbelief. "This can't be unanimous since you were all in the same room!"

I rolled my eyes. "This is the law."

"What was his name?" Eric asked.

I tried to think about it and honestly I completely forgot about it. "I don't remember."

"It happened an hour ago," Sookie began. "How can you forget?"

"Well, you saved me from a horde of ugly looking Gollum creatures of Hell and I forgot. Anyways, my Demonic Cousin is looking for an ass whooping from me so that's that I guess. Hey, Sookie, we need to talk about Tara still…"

Sookie nodded when the room got silent. "I know. After we deal with Russell."

"No," I said firmly. "We'll discuss this now since I stuck my neck out for you in front of her. I defended you even when I knew that if you did that to me, I would hate you for it honestly."

"I am okay with the both of you hating me 'cause I'll still have you in my life."

"That is very selfish," I told her. "Would you be so cruel to me like that? I want my life to end the way it began. Unexpected and accidental."

Sookie smiled. "I know...I can't live with either of you two."

I nodded. "I understand why you did it, but that still doesn't mean that it was the right choice for her. You took away her choice, that's what she's pissed about."

"We need to find Russell, Sookie or we die," Bill interrupted by saying.

"He's right," I agreed which everyone was surprised at. "Well, close your mouths or you'll catch a spider in there."

"It's a fly, not a spider."

"Eh, whatever. We need to hurry, I don't want them dying just yet."

"So what's the plan?" Alcide asked. "How do we find Russell?"

"We will have Sookie use her mind control on the witness," I said. "Seems easy. Follow his mind and memories and thennnnn BOOM! We will find our ugly old corpse who is probably starving right about now so everyone needs to wear a scarf."

"We are not wearing scarfs," Alcide grumbled.

"Come on!" I whined. "I'll be black cause I'm the leader and you can be pink and Sookie will be blue."

"Hold up now why do they not get scarfs," Alcide asked in rage as he pointed to Eric and Bill.

"Cause he wants human blood, dog," I deadpanned. "Besides who would want the corpses blood anyway. It's stinky just like them."

"We're still standing here," Bill reminded me even though I was choosing to ignore them since that's what a leader does to its minions.

So apparently, someone from the Authority freed Russell. The guy didn't know who, but Sookie saw the pendant.

"It seems we have a traitor," I whispered to Eric and Bill as we walked to the abandoned insane asylum where they took Russell to.

"Could it be Nora?" Bill questioned. "Perhaps she lured us to the Authority so that Russell would be freed. Make us take the blame for it."

"As much as I would love to see that homewrecking of a corpse burn at the stake, I don't think she did it," I said. "She's too weak. No offense, Eric, but she's a snotty mess right now. Blood tears and prayers. Yuck! Either she's an extremely good actress or she's actually crying, I think someone is pulling the strings here."

"Do you think it could be your demon cousin?" Eric asked me.

I shoved my finger into his chest as I reminded him, "Hey it's Demonic Cousin now! He has no name. Well, he does, but I'm afraid that if I say it then somehow he'll appear like Voldemort."

Bill scoffed. "So he's from Harry Potter now?"

I scrunched up my nose in confusion. "No, scowl lines. If he was He Who Shall Not Be Named then we would all be dead already. Now come on Ron and Hermione, we got a corpse to kill cause you two wanted to measure your dicks and your egos got in the way."

"You would've made him suffer too if the choice was in your hands," the corpse had the balls to say to me especially at this special time since I happen to be very hungry and very tired.

"Alright, listen up, dickless," I began with a glare at him. "I say I'm going to kill someone then I'm going to kill them. I don't stand around and talk about it. If Lucifer and Hecate were here right now, you can bet your pale ass that I wouldn't spend a heartbeat thinking on a way to kill them. I would go for the kill."

Eric leaned closer to me which I really fucking hate cause I'm super fucking short. "Death would've been too kind to him and you know it."

"Whatever," I growled, my fist getting ready to knock his lights out. "What's done is done. Now let's go kill him so we can go to McDonalds or something!"

"Why are they doing this?" Bill asked. "What are they gaining by freeing Russell?"

"Our deaths," Eric said with a clear voice. "Think about it, Bill, they want all three of us dead. We are a thorn in their sides. Belle could kill all of them if she wanted to so what better way to do it then bring back the person who was close to killing us all at one point."

"Honestly...that's a good ass evil plan," I said then smiled at Eric and Bill sweetly. "What? It's something I would do. Who's pulling the strings on this operation anyways? It has to be someone smart and clever and calculating."

As we entered the asylum, something felt odd about this place. I whirled around the room, touching the dirty walls with cobwebs. "This place...Eric, I want to live here."

"What?!" Sookie yelled at me. "What in the hell is wrong with you that makes you want to live in a haunted insane asylum?!"

"It's got history."

"It's creepy."

"Just like me."

"It's old and abandoned."

"Uh, Sook, have you seen the corpse I'm dating. He's older than dirt. Also I like the quiet...it gives me a place to think about things. Very important things."

"Like what?" Bill asked.

"World domination of course," I replied with a shit eating grin.

"Come on, B, it's haunted," Sookie whispered at me.

"Good," I said with my chin held up high. "I have roomates then! We'll have a ghouly party and everything!"

Sookie glared at me and was so silent as her eyes met mine that I moved back a little towards Eric who said, "Wow look at that. You broke her."

I examined my best friend and tilt my head to the side. "Nah! She's not broken yet. I think I still have time."

"There is no way in hell that you are living here," Eric told me as if I would ever listen to him.

Sookie smiled at him. "Eric, you are my favorite boyfriend of her's."

I gaped at her. "What the fuck? He's my only boyfriend you ever met!"

"Coop," Alcide reminded me.

"That asshole was a piece of work." I rolled my eyes then put my hand on Eric's shoulder. "I need to grow, Eric. You need to let me out of your nest-I need to spread my wings! Let me fly!"

"You don't have wings," Alcide butted his hairy nose into the conversation. "Also I hate to agree with Eric, but he's right. I wouldn't trust you to live by yourself. Hell, you might just burn it down and sit in the house as it burns down to see if the fire would hurt you. Also you would do it just for shit and giggles."

It's weird how well my brother knows me so well since I barely just met him barely a year ago! They don't understand though! I feel so safe in this place. This feels like home. I don't ever remember being here at all, but there's this feeling inside of me. Something is pulling me to stay here.

"I am going to live here whether you both like it or not," I said it in my best and firmest voice.

"Belle-" Eric started to say to me before we all heard a scream coming from the end of the hall.

While they ran to the source of the screams, I obviously went in the other direction. I decided to explore this creepy yet homey place because I knew that they didn't need me just yet. Besides, Russell will get his time with me unless Eric goes and does something stupid like stake him. Actually, the stupid corpse would do that!

When I turned around to go back to them, the hospital wasn't dark or creepy anymore. It was full of light and people. There were doctors and nurses running everywhere. There were no cobwebs or leaves on the ground.

Everything seemed full of life again.

"Oh shit," I muttered. "This is a vision. Really? Right now you show me this when I'm about to kick some corpse ass!"

Suddenly as if we were in a Rom-com movie (that's right! I went there!), the doors burst opened and a-wait, what the fuck?

"Mom?!"

My mother was screaming her lungs off as they carried her into the hospital on a gurney. Her stomach was big and I am hoping that this is MY birth! Not my sister or brother's.

They ran with the gurney towards the other end of the hospital as I ran after them, but my dad standing off to the side stopped me. He waved at me. I looked around and then waved at him back.

"What are you doing here, kid?"

"Having a vision. You?"

"Watching over you when no one else would."

"You're dead. When angels die, they die."

His face fell. "So you know about me? Why I fell from heaven?"

I nodded and stood beside him. "Yeah. I know. You're not my real dad and you've known this entire time, haven't you?"

He sighed heavily. "Of course I knew, but the minute I held you in my arms...you were my daughter. You smiled up at me with big brown eyes...that neither your mother or I had. Your eyes weren't mine. They were someone else's, but I didn't care. Your family are the people who raise and love you."

I smiled at him. "Yeah, you always were a big fluff ball, huh?"

"God gave you to me," he told me with a smile. "He didn't let JD have you."

"He deserved to know, dad. He wanted me." He looked away and cleared his throat. "You knew, didn't you?"

"You don't remember because you were little, but you shifted."

"What?! Are you tryna tell me that I'm a fucking dog?!"

I couldn't believe this shit.

"We were able to strip you of that. Witches can do just about anything and your mother created a spell which made being human possible. You can turn a faerie into a human, take away their light and their ability to read minds. You can turn vampires into humans."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"If you learn the spell then anyone who goes against you, anyone who is a supe then you can do the spell with the snap of your fingers and they will be powerless against you, Belle," he told me. "I don't trust anyone around you. Keep them in line."

"That sounds an awful like my devilish mother talking," I said evenly as I glared at him. "I will not use this against them if they...go against me. I am not their ruler or shit like that. They are my friends, not my subjects."

"If we are being technical, you are above them. God is your grandfather. Your grandmother is the godess of their races and if she weren't alive then there would be no vampires or witches or fairies. You will rule over them someday and you being Chancellor is only the beginning. I didn't like it when you first were approached by them, but after some thought...this is the best for everyone."

"Listen up, dad, I am not going to be queen either now or forever."

My dad looked at me disappointment and sighed heavily. "Oh dark lord, you really are a pain aren't you? Not even little old daddy here can convince you to be bad."

I backed away when his eyes changed into a pair of red glowing eyes. I glared at him. "Hey, Demonic Cousin. How's Hell lately? Hot? Tortuous? Evil?"

He chuckled mirthlessly. "Just a little bit of everything wicked. How are your mortal friends? Stupid? Bland? Useless? I imagine so."

"They're not stupid, asswipe!"

I'm the only one who can call them names because everyone knows it comes from a place of love and a little bit of hate. Just a little. Nothing excessive.

I'm a rational woman...sometimes.

He rolled his eyes, seeming extremely bored with me. "It's no matter. Do why I was created?"

"Don't care about your life story."

He ignored me and continued, "I was created to challenge you. Two sides in every war. Good versus evil. Saints and the sinners."

"So you're the Antichrist?"

He laughed loudly in amusement. "No. That's not me. It's not his time yet."

I frowned at him. What the hell was he up to. "Why are you here?"

"To get a better look at the competition of course. Your BFF interrupted us the last time. Rude by the way."

I scoffed. "Cause you tried to kill me! She saved me."

He shrugged unapologetically. "I was only joking, cousin. I wanted to test you. You passed! CONGRATULATIONS!"

I stared at him in confusion and shook my head. "Oh my god. You're insane."

He suddenly shifted into Eric and said in ERIC'S VOICE, "This one is insane."

He shifted again into Cooter and I was completely terrified. "No, this one is. Which do you prefer, cousin, you have a lot of insane men in your life. I can change into any one of them. I am everywhere. This is why you won't win. I have been training for you my entire life."

"Are you going to kill me?"

He leaned against the wall and smiled creepily at me. "No. I am just gonna kill everyone you love before I take you."

"Take me?"

He nodded. "We are meant to be together. You're not my wife yet, not my queen."

…..HE IS FUCKING CRAZY!

"New name. Incesuous bastard is what I think I'll call you."

He laughed. "I missed you."

"Missed me? You are crazy!"

"Perhaps. I am going to kill him, you know?" He nonchalantly started to put his change into a vending machine and eat some Skittles. "I can't have my wife's lover trying to steal her away from me. It's bad business. No, he has to die."

I froze and asked, "Eric? You can't kill him. I will never be your wife."

He frowned. "Why?"

"Why?!" I sputtered out in an angry yet surprised voice. "Because you're evil, you're my cousin, you tried to kill me, you want to kill my friends, want to kill Eric, you're starting a war with me, and I'm sure that you insaner than I am and that is saying a lot."

He ate some more skittles and said, "You have a point, but soon, you will realize that I am doing all of this to help you, not destroy you. Well, this side of you I am trying to destroy, but that's it."

"What do you really look like? You keep shifting into people I used to know, but yet I haven't even seen your face."

He smirked at me when he shifted into Bill's face then. "Would you like to see my face? My true face? Is that a face you cold love?"

"I won't love you either way," I said firmly. "How can I love a monster like you?"

He stared at me, amusement gone from his eyes. "You've loved many monsters. You're even in love with one right now. Eric Northman, Sheriff of Area Five. Impressive."

"In my eyes, he's not a monster."

"He kills me people just like I do. More victims than I have yet you say he's not a monster."

"I killed people just as he has. He is...he is the one. I won't love anyone else, but him I think."

He suddenly shifted into someone I didn't know. I was stunned as he very...nice-looking in an villainous kind of way. He had a shaved head, he was tall with broad shoulders. He had greyish-blue eyes with a thin mouth and defined cheekbones and jaw.

What? Yeah, sorry I did that right now...just the guy is really handsome.

"Is this what you really look like?"

"It's my human form, my demon form is much scarier."

Holy shit, he's British.

"I want to leave."

He rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers. My vision swirled and then we were in back in the abandoned hospital. People in black uniforms were swarming around us. He glanced around and smirked down at me. "Fancy little army you have here."

"Shove it, you incestous bastard!"

One of the men tried to grab his arm, and a burst of red light came from his hand shooting at at the man. I watched in awe as the guy was literally thrown through two walls. As we looked into the holes in the walls, Sookie and the others were on the other side of it looking back at us.

"Hello there, I'm Malum."

Sookie gasped and said, "Belle, this is your Demonic Cousin! Get away from him."

I nodded. "I know who he is. He fucking kidnapped and tried to play me with shifting into my dad! Also he is now called incestous bastard."

"Why?" Sookie drawled out in question, her face full of worry.

"Because he's trying to marry me and is saying that he's going to kill all of you especially Eric since he is my boyfriend and the man I love."

Malum started to gag, his face full of disgust. Eric leaned down and said, "Aw. I knew you loved me."

"Shut up, corpse before I change my mind. You're the best option of life for me."

"He is crazy, right?" Sookie asked.

I nodded. "More than me. He says that we're supposed to be together and that he's going to try to bring out the bad side of me which is why this whole war started in the first place Also that he has been training for me his entire life and that he was created to challenge me and some shit."

Sookie was silent for a moment. "So he is somehow crazier than you. He literally has been trained to somehow endure you and everything about you...challenge you?"

Alcide looked through the holes and growled, "You get away from my sister, you fucker!"

Malum knitted his brows in confusion. "Oh, I'm sorry, do you want me to blast your balls off, dog? I will do it. I'm insane."

"Dog?" I questioned suspiciously. "That's what I call him."

Malum gave me a bright smile. "Wolves are basically dogs and I know you think the same. They smell too. This is why we're meant to be, Babylon."

"Did you just call me a whore?!" I seethed and grabbed his suit jacket. "I ought to kill your pompous ass."

"You are meant to be my wife and the mother of my children."

"Dude, you got the wrong girl."

"Why do you think the angels aren't interfering anymore? God, he knows what you are meant to become and they tried so hard to protect you, but they failed when you died."

"Died?"

Malum shoved his fist through my chest, his eyes looking into mine with love. My head lopped to his shoulder as I felt so cold with his fist in my chest. I heard screaming and saw Eric's face coming closer with Alcide shifted into a wolf and Sookie behind them with her bright hands.

They were the people I love.

TBC…

Don't worry I will update this story ASAP because I will not leave you guys the biggest cliffhanger alive. I feel like i'm always doing that to you guys...sorry. Also Belle can NEVER catch a break in this story.

So I will update soon and Malum looks like Ed Skrein by the way. He is a lot like Belle if she was super evil and literally on steroids. He has a chapter coming up because to me, it will take too long to explain his story and literally this is already 5,000 words because of him.

Next chapter is gonna be set in the future and then the one after that is after this one and thennnn it will be the Malum chapter.

I hoped you liked this chapter.
