A/N I wanted to have this up a week ago, but real life got in the way. So I'm just going to say read and enjoy and leave me some love when you're done:)

If Nessa was trying to make me feel better she wasn't doing a very good job of it. Whoever this Russell Edgington is, he's three times older than Eric. How could we possibly be able to keep him from accomplishing this crazy mission of his?

I could feel my dream self start to panic and hyperventilate, but Nessa was quick to calm me down. "Sookie, my angle, it's going to be all right. You have all the power you need not just to protect yourself, but protecting your Viking as well."

"But I don't know how to use these new powers in me or even how to work them. And even if I didn't know how, I don't have a clue how to control them."

"Sookie, I know that you are scared, but the one thing I know is that you can control your powers. It's instinctive with fairies. When you need to use your powers, you will just know how to use them. And when you wake up I need you to use those powers to get to Bill Compton. You need to get all the information that you can from him mind, then you need to end him. If you don't, you'll be over run by vampires tomorrow night."

There was a big part of me that just wanted to run away from all of this craziness. I didn't sign up for any of this. I could just disappear to some remote island where nobody would even know me, but I couldn't leave behind Gran and Jason and especially not Eric. I went to him of my own free will, so this was just not something that I could run away from. Whether I stayed or ran away I would still be a fairy. Being with Eric meant that I would have protection of the vampires of Area 5 and with Eric I felt like I could do anything.

I looked at Nessa and I could feel confidence flowing through me. "Well, then I better get to it then."

She smiled back at me. "You will be just fine my little fairy and when you get back, you will have a very special surprise waiting for you." Before I could ask what she meant I was pulled out of my dream.

I sat up in bed with my Viking's arm wrapped around my waist. I looked over at the clock and it was a little after eleven. I had a mission that I needed to accomplish and the sooner the better.

I turned back to my Viking and leaned down and gently kissed his cold lips. "I love you so much and I promise that I will be back before you wake up." I kissed him once more before getting out of bedding and slipping into the bathroom. I took care of my human needs, then took a quick shower.

When I got out I dried off quickly, but then I realized that I didn't have any clothes here. I decided that I would just have to borrow something from Eric, then I could pop home and get some of my own clothes.

Whoa, wait a minute, hold the phone here. When did I start thinking about popping places instead of driving there? I guess Nessa was right about my powers being instinctive.

I quickly headed into his closet and I was surprised when I found half of the closet filled with women's clothes. I thought for a minute that they were Pam's clothes, but as I looked at the sizes to see if something would fit me, I noticed everything was in my size. Wow, that Viking doesn't mess around when he sees something that he likes.

I looked through the clothing and there was a lot of sundresses that I loved, but definitely weren't the right look that I was going for right now. There were lots of jeans and tees as well, but those weren't what I wanted either. I had to look all the way in the back of the closet before I found things that I normally wouldn't were, but were exactly what I was looking for.

Those clothes were mostly silk, satin and leather and the leather clothes would be the perfect badass looking that I was going for. I pulled out a pair of leather pants, a leather halter top and a pair of knee high leather boots. I gathered my new outfit into my arms and headed back into the bathroom.

As I was dressing I was expecting the leather to be tight and constricting, but it wasn't at all. The leather felt soft against my bare skin and it was as if it was made for me specifically. It was easy to move around in my outfit and somehow it made me feel more powerful and strong, like I could do anything and still manage to come out on top.

I slid on and zipped up my boots to complete my outfit, then went back into the bedroom. I went over to the bed and looked down at my resting Viking and I just knew that he would be angry at me for what I was about to do, but I didn't have a choice. I had to do this to protect everyone, at least for now.

I ran my hand over his cool cheek and leaned down and gently kissed his beautiful lips. "I love you so much and hopefully I'll be home before you rise tonight and that you won't be angry with me. I'm doing what I have to do to help us." I kissed him one more time before I focused on Fangtasia's basement and popped away.

That was a very weird sensation, but I didn't have time to focus on that now. There was very little light illuminating the basement, yet I was still able to see as clearly as ever. This was going to be a nice little perk. I saw that Bill was still chained up like he was when I castrated him, but there was dried blood on his face and more blood dripping from where the silver chains were cutting into him. On anyone else I would feel guilty seeing them suffer like this, but not him. He deserved everything that had been done to him so far and what I was planning on doing to him now. If Mr. William Compton thought that he was going to get out of here alive, he was sorely mistaken.

I looked around the room and saw a rack of weapons there at my disposal. I walked up to it and glanced at my selection of weapons that I could torture him with. There was a wide variety of weapons to choose from, but there was one particular sword that seemed to just be calling to me. I could feel that this was Eric's sword and that it would be the weapon that would end Billy's existence soon.

I walked up to the sword and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to lift it, but when I did pick it up, it felt as light as a feather. I swung it back and forth and I felt very comfortable using it, but I didn't have time to play with it now. I gripped the sword tightly in my hand and walked up to the unconscious Mr. Compton.

I looked up at the dead to the world vampire and wondered how in the hell I was going to wake him up. Even though he had been tortured and chained up in silver there was somehow a peaceful look on his face and I didn't like that one bit. He didn't deserve to have any peace at all after the awful things that he'd done and was planning to do.

I could feel my anger at him build up inside of me and I felt my left hand begin to warm. I looked down and saw a ball of light glowing brightly in my hand. Without thinking about what I was doing I pulled my hand back and threw the ball at his chest. His whole body lit up like a Christmas tree and he was wide awake now. "Good morning Mr. Compton."

His face showed his utter shock at what I'd done to him and he was actually panting as if he was out of breath. "What the fuck did you do to me you crazy witch?!"

"I need to talk to you and you looked too peaceful for my taste. You don't deserve ant peace after the plans you've put in place." I lifted my sword and put the tip to his neck. I put just a bit of pressure on it, but it was enough to draw blood. "You are a coward Mr. Compton, and you deserve everything that you get." I leaned in so that the sword slipped deeper into his neck while at the same time my hand brushed against his knee. Before I had the chance to pull away I realized that his mind was open to me. I saw all of his horrible plans for me, for Eric, and all the plans that he'd put into place until now. Everything was clear to me, even clearer than with humans, and there was nothing that was hidden from me, I saw it all. And once I'd gotten all the information from him that I could, I knew that it was in my mind to stay.

I was quick to pull away from him when I knew everything. I looked up at him with the most evil smile that I could muster. "Thank you for all of that helpful information Mr. Compton." I pulled the blade from him neck and held it high above my head. "Say hello to my Uncle Bartlett when you get to hell." And with those final words I swung the sword as hard as I could and separated his head from his body.

What was left of Bill Compton splashed like an exploding water balloon onto the floor. Luckily I hadn't gotten a speck of his nastiness on me.

As I looked down at the bloody mess that was all that was left of Billy boy, I couldn't stop the heat that started to build up inside of me again. I looked down at the fiery light ball and without even thinking about it I threw it on the bloody remains. I was expecting there to be a big fire, but instead it quickly burned itself out taking what was left of William Compton with it.

I was expecting to feel some kind of remorse or guilt since I had just taken a life, but I didn't. I felt a tremendous amount of relief instead. He would never bother us or anyone again, but we still had his maker and his maker's maker to deal with, but that could wait until my Viking was awake.

Speaking of my Viking, I hadn't realized until now just how much I had been missing him. I felt an ache deep down inside and I just knew that I needed to see him, to be close to him again. I needed to get home to him as soon as possible and this feeling was not to be ignored.

I quickly wiped down the sword and returned it to it's proper spot, then I headed up to Eric's office. I checked the time and it was only a little after one o'clock. My stomach decided at that moment to protest the fact that I hadn't eaten anything in far too long. Well that wouldn't do and my feeling would just have to chill until I got something to eat.

I knew that Eric had a kitchen full of food, but I was craving greasy burgers and fries and a cool strawberry milkshake. I didn't have any money on me, so I went to Eric's desk to see if he had any money hanging around.

As I was looking I realized that I'd never really looked at what Eric had on his desk, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a picture of me framed there on his desk. I could tell from what I was wearing that the picture had been taken on my first night working her. I had a huge smile on my face and I knew that Eric had taken this on his cell phone because I would only smile like that if I was looking at him.

I wondered how long he'd had this on his desk, but more than that I wondered when I could get my own picture of him that I could keep with me all the time. My thoughts turned to a locket nestled over my heart with a picture of Eric in it until my stomach rumbled again even louder than before. I saw that Eric had left his leather jacket behind and luckily there was some money in the pocket. I clutched it tight in my hand and popped to the nearest burger joint.

I popped in where I wouldn't be seen and quickly went inside. I loaded up on the biggest shake they had and more burgers and fries than I thought I could eat, but still wanted anyway. I was tempted to eat inside, but I was getting more and more anxious to get back to Eric, so I went back outside and popped home.

I popped into the kitchen and set my food down on the counter. I went to get a plate out of the cupboard when I saw something out of the back window that scared me more than anything Bill Compton had planned for me. "NOOOOOO!"
