Disclaimer: I do now own any of these characters.

When the window shattered I didn't even feel the thought process of the maniac from outside.

"Come out before we blow this shit up!" A thick southern voice yelled from outside and Eric was already up.

"Wait, give me a second." I ran to Eric's side and closed my eyes.

There were two men outside, one named Jake and the other named Bob. They were both sent by an unknown person, probably Russell, but they couldn't get in and resolved to throw shit in my living room to scare me out. They didn't count on Eric being here and they thought I was by myself.

I walked over to the window and got a look at the two men.

One was short and fat and the other was moderately in shape.

"You two hillbilly's better get the fuck off my lawn!" I screamed and they both hollered and laughed.

"What are you gunna do about it!" One yelled.

"Maybe if you suck my cock first, I'll tell my boss you weren't here!" The other shouted and that's when Eric ran out.

He twisted one of the men's head completely around and started for the other.

"Leave that one for questioning, he might know something." I told Eric as I stepped out onto the porch.

He grabbed the man, Jake, by the arm and pushed him forward.

"Respect the woman or you will end up like your fat friend here." He told the man as he smiled, showing off his fangs.

"Yes sir." The quick response from the young man made me smile.

"Sit him down right there." I pointed to the chair across from me and Eric sat him down.

I took a chair and placed it right in front of the man and grabbed his hand.

"Hey, don't touch me cunt!" he yelled as he slapped away my hand.

"What did we say?" Eric said as he grabbed the man by the neck and the man started to choke.

"Eric, its fine." I told him calmly.

I reached for the man again but he still pulled back.

"Well I tried to be nice." I backed away and nodded to Eric, "Glamour him."

Eric nodded and went in front of the man.

"Who are you working for?" Eric asked gently and the young man went still.

"I don't know we never got a name." The young man's response was robotic.

"Was it a male or a female employer?"

"Male, sounded real crazy like. He said to get the girl and bring her to the warehouse down in Shreveport."

"He's in Shreveport?" I asked.

"It's too obvious." Eric whispered.

"Or maybe he is just hiding in plain sight, a place where we would never think to check." Eric looked up to me and smiled.

"You might just be right." He turned back to the man, "Thank you Jake." Eric said before he broke the man's neck quickly.

The body fell to the ground as Eric got up.

"Shall I dispose of this now?" He asked and I nodded.

"Do it quick, I don't really want to be left alone right now." He nodded as he grabbed the body and disappeared.

I sighed as I stared out the window and tried to gather my thoughts.

Right now Bill, Pam, Amelia, Claude and Jason were out there searching for a maniac that wanted me dead. For all I know they could be dead and that thought frightened me more than anything.

Life was precious and I didn't really realize that until all of this crazy stuff was thrust upon me when I met Bill.

As much as I told myself that I would be better off without ever meeting him, this experienced showed me I was wrong.

I did meet a lot of people through Bill, more importantly I met Eric and I would never trade that for anything.

"Deep in thought?" I turned around and saw Claude sitting there on the couch.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah just wanted to take a break, your friends are very serious."

"No, that's juts Bill." He laughed.

"Right," he got up and walked around the house, "where's the Viking?"

"Dumping a body."

"How romantic." I laughed.

"Well I do know how to kill them."

A silence filled the room and I decided to point out the elephant in the room.

"Is anyone hurt?" I didn't want to ask dead but I knew Claude knew what I meant.

"No, it was a dead end. The lead that we found turned out to be false."

"Well someone was just sent to get me and we think Russell may be down in Shreveport."

"Isn't that obvious?" He asked.

"Or it's very clever." He nodded.

"True, well I suppose I shall tell the others. Be back in a flash." He winked before he vanished.

Eric ran into the house and I saw some dirt on his hands.

"Sink." I pointed to the kitchen.

I followed him into the kitchen and he looked frustrated.

"What?"

"Pam called and said they were following the lead you gave the fairy. Apparently there is security covering the grounds and it is very possible he is there."

"You're grumbling because they might have found Russell?"

"No, I'm grumbling over the fact they might have found him and I didn't." He slammed the towel he was drying his hands with on the counter before him.

"Eric you will be the one to kill him." I told him.

Everything seemed to fall too perfectly and something seemed very fishy.

"What's wrong?" Eric asked me as he sensed me worry.

"Don't you think everything is happening way too easily?" I asked him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean how the men he sent here told us where he may be, or the fact that they got to the warehouse with no problem. I feel every time this happens something bad happens really quickly." I told him.

"I don't sense anything is wrong with Pam."

"Not now but I feel something is going to happen soon." The bad feeling in my gut got worse and I knew Eric could feel it too.

"Should I warn them?"

"Yeah, call them now." Eric left the room and pulled out his phone.

I stared out the window and I heard Eric curse out loud.

"Eric." I called for him and found him in the other room.

"I'm feeling distress and annoyance from Pam. She's in trouble." He told him quickly.

"What should we do?" I asked.

"There's nothing we can do." He told me.

Eric's phone rang and he picked it up quickly.

"What?" Eric listened to the other voice.

"I'll try." He said as he shut the phone

"What's happening?" I asked.

"Bill's says it was a trap. They were waiting for them there." Shit.

"Are they okay?"

"Amelia and Jason left the scene, but Pam, Bill, and the fairy are outnumbered. They need my help." I looked away from him.

I knew this was a trap from the start and I had a bad feeling about Eric leaving but without his help there Bill, Pam, and Claude could die. I thanked God for protecting Jason but I knew Eric had t protect them.

"What if I lose you." I told him as tears slipped from my eyes.

"Stop that," he pulled me in for an embrace, "no matter what I will always find you." He promised as he kissed my forehead and then moved down to kiss my lips.

I pulled him in closer and I never wanted to let him go. This night was full of surprises and it was only the first night of this manhunt. I couldn't even think of losing Eric and I knew if I did I would never be the same again.

"Come back to me." I whispered against his lips and he nodded.

He kissed me quickly before turning to leave.

"Call the witch and tell her to come here right away. We are all better in numbers." I nodded and then he was gone.

I ran for my phone in the kitchen and sent a quick text to Amelia telling her to come here right away.

I walked over to the counter and pulled out a knife just in case and walked into the living room and sat down.

I had no one to call because everyone I knew didn't know my name and it left me in a even deeper pit of despair. I felt scared and alone as the thoughts filled my head.

"Strange feeling of everyone you've ever loved forgetting about you in a night. It never has happened to me but I have to think it must be horrible." I froze as I heard the chilling voice of the man we were after.

I turned behind me and he was standing there in the doorway of the house.

"You're out of luck buddy; you're not getting in here without an invitation." I told him as I stood up.

"That would be true if you owned the house," he stepped across the threshold, "which you don't." He smiled.

Shit, Eric never signed me back the house.

"Eric must be very forgetful as of late, is he not?"He got closer to me and touched the small things around him very casually as he passed them.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"Revenge my dear." He stood right before me and lightly touched my cheek.

Fear shot through me and I was hoping Eric or someone would show up soon.

"Don't touch me." I shot back and he smiled wider.

"Feisty." He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer.

"What do you want with me?"

"I want you all to pay!" He yelled as he pushed me back onto the couch.

The intensity of his voice made me flinch and I closed my eyes trying as hard as I could to get out of this nightmare.

I couldn't teleport out of here and I knew I was stuck.

Dread shot through me as I felt him sit beside me and lean close to me. I felt his icy, cool breath against my ear and I shuddered with disgust.

"I want you and your Viking to know how it feels to lose everything. I want you and everyone else to know that you don't choose when I am found but I choose when I want to be found. I choose whether you live or you die because in this case I am God. I won't kill you now because it is too easy but know I will come back for you but you won't know when and that very thought will drive you insane. When I do get you I will kill you so slowly you will beg for death and only then will I laugh in your face as your Viking begs me to kill him instead of you, but I won't. I will let him live so he will know that you died and he couldn't save you. Forgetting about this little spell business I want you to know that you are alone and no one will be able to save you in the end. I control this game and you are only a puppet waiting for me to cut…its…strings." When I opened my eyes he was gone and I broke down.

I sat there sobbing until I felt a pair of arms surround me.

"Sookie open your eyes." When I did I saw Jason standing before me, holding me as I cried.

"Where's Eric?" I cried as Jason held me tighter.

"He just called your phone and he's on his way." Amelia told me as she sat next to me.

She hugged me and we all started to form into a semi-group hug type of thing.

"I'm so sorry Sook." She told me.

"I know I'm sorry too." She nodded.

The door busted open and Eric ran in.

"Sookie." He pushed past my brother and Amelia and held me.

"I'm scared." I told him as I continued to cry.

"I won't let him get you; I was a fool to leave you unprotected."

"No don't blame yourself. I'm fine and your fine and that's all that matters."

"What did he say to you?" He asked me.

"Not now, I can't right now." He nodded and just held me.

Eric said he could protect me but was that really the truth?

The cold air from the night filled the house and I shivered at its icy sting.

This was only the first night and I now knew the clock was ticking. This wasn't just about getting my life back.

This was much more than that.
