Chapter Five
Sookie POV
I felt myself drifting back towards the familiar darkness. I fought against the darkness as hard as I could. I heard a constant noise, like a heart machine makes when the person attached to it dies. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. I heard voices around me, calling my name. I wanted so badly to open my eyes. I could feel a presence near me then it was as if it was in my mind. The noise wouldn't stop; it kept going on and on. I wanted to scream to make it stop, but I had no voice. Then I didn't hear the noise anymore. All I heard was sobbing and I felt warm arms rocking me back and forth.
Third Person POV
Bill jolted awake as he felt the worst feeling wash through him. It was if a part of him was tearing out of his chest. He glanced at his watch and saw that he had ten minutes until sundown. He hoped it wasn't too late to save Sookie. He waited, impatient to get to the hospital when his phone rang. Bill pulled it out of his pocket and answered. "Compton." He said, hoping it was news about Sookie. "Bill, it is Niall. I am at the hospital with Sookie. She has a very faint heartbeat. I did everything I could to heal her, but I can't do anything more." Bill stared at the ceiling of his hidey hole and felt tears rolling down his face. "Bill? Are you still there?" Niall asked, hoping Bill wouldn't do anything too drastic. "I am on my way." Bill said coldly before closing his phone.
When Bill arrived at the hospital, he knew Sam was already there and that Sookie was no longer alive. He walked to Sookie's room and what he saw angered him. Sam was cradling Sookie and rocking her back and forth as he cried silently. Bill growled as he started walking into the room, but was stopped by Tara. "Bill, stop! Let him grieve for her. He loved her as much as you did." She said noticing how hopeless Bill looked. "She's really gone, isn't she?" he mumbled as he fell into a chair that was in the hallway. Tara noticed red tears rolling down his face as she spoke. "Yeah…" Bill stood up and ran into the room as Sam ran out into the hallway. "Find Dr. Ludwig! I think I can hear a faint heartbeat!" Tara and Sam took off running down the halls, looking for Dr. Ludwig as Bill ran to the hospital bed.
Sookie POV
I felt cold arms surround me soon after the warm ones left me. "Sookie? Sookie, can you hear me? I am so sorry! I should have never left you to go to France, this is my fault!" I recognized the voice. It was Bill. I tried to reply, but I couldn't make my mouth form the words. I felt the arms move away as I heard more voices. "Compton, I will need to give Sookie blood. No not yours, it isn't old enough. I am talking about Eric's." I heard growling. "NO! I refuse to let him!" I tried to reach out to him but only managed to move my hand a tiny bit. "She will die if she doesn't have his blood. I don't know what it will do to her, but I know that she will die. Are you willing to let her die?" I felt a hand on my cheek. I tried to move my hand again and managed to move it a little bit more. I felt the hand move from my cheek to hold my hand. "You will not turn her; she doesn't want to be vampire. Understood?" I heard Bill say. "I understand, Compton. I will not turn her, I will only give her enough blood to heal her." I managed to open my eyes a slight bit as Bill let go of my hand. I saw Eric walk over to bed and felt his hand under my head, lifting it. I heard a noise and then felt a wrist being held to my mouth. I tried to move my head away. I didn't want to do this! "Bill!" I murmured, "Where's Bill?"
Bill POV
As I heard her call for me, it felt as if my heart was shattering into a million pieces. I quickly made my way to her side. "I am here, Sookie." I felt her move her hand slightly and held it with my own. "Please, I don't want to do this! I don't want Eric to do this." I stroked her hair as she cried. "I know, I know. It's the only way Sookie. If you died…" I choked, trying to hold my tears back. "If it is the only way, then I'll do it. For you, Bill." Sookie said as I lifted her head back up. I watched as Eric reopened his wrist and put it to her mouth. At first she didn't drink, but I leaned down and whispered into her ear that I would love her no matter what. She started to swallow and I felt her heartbeat get stronger. Sookie pulled back suddenly, causing Eric's wrist to bleed on the hospital blanket. She started to shimmer as if some light was shining from within her. Niall rushed in and pulled Dr. Ludwig to the side before she reached Sookie. Niall put his right hand over Sookie's heart as he murmured to himself.
I watched patiently as Dr. Ludwig looked worried as he kept murmuring. There was a sudden flash of light that came from his hand. I was blinded and felt the pain as it burned my skin. I heard a popping sound then a voice speaking. "Niall! What are you doing? You will destroy them both!" I looked towards the voice and saw a fairy. "I am doing what should have been a long time ago. I am making Sookie a full blooded fae! Now, leave and do not question my authority again!" I tried to stand, but I was too weak. Suddenly the blinding light disappeared and I could see that Eric had Niall by the throat. "You will do no such thing, Niall! If Sookie wishes to be a fairy, then and only then will you do it, but no sooner. You will ask her now and if she says no, you will leave…Immediately!" Niall nodded as Eric let him drop to the floor. "You will regret this, Northman! I will do everything in my power to make you regret it.
