I closed my eyes waiting for the pain to hit me but it never did.

When I opened my eyes the bullet was floating in the air inches away from my face.

"Guns, really Claude?" Amelia's voice rang and I turned behind me to see her and her hand up at the bullet.

"Humans seem to like them." He said as he shrugged.

"You insolent little child!" Niall yelled and he blasted Claude with his light and Claude hit the wall with a thud.

The bullet dropped to the floor as Amelia turned to me and smiled.

"You okay?" She asked me and I nodded.

I was too scared to speak as Eric ran into the room.

"What happened?" He asked me as he looked over to the fairies, and I was just was very grateful that they were blocking their scent.

"I'm fine." I spoke up and I saw the sun coming up and I grabbed Eric and walked him over to where the guards were protecting Bill's underground resting place.

"Sookie, I don't want to leave you right now."

"You have to, I'll be fine. Niall and Amelia have everything under control." I told him and pushed him away from me and he gave me one wary look before descending down into his chamber for the day.

I took a deep breath as one of the guards gave me a look.

"Would you like our assistance?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Where the hell were you guys just a second ago?" I asked.

"We aren't under your order Miss, only Mr. Compton's."

"Could you just lock this fairy up before…" Niall appeared by my side.

"Your assistance will not be needed." He told the guard before grabbing me and bringing me back to the room.

"Where's Claude?"

"I had the witch put a spell on him to keep him contained here so we can question him about Russell." I nodded as we entered the room and Claude glared at me.

"Just give us Russell, please this isn't you." I told him and he scoffed.

"You don't even know me dear cousin."

"Well you don't know me and you don't know what I am capable of for the people I care about. I want this to be over and if you are in my way then I'll take you down if I have to." I said and I was shocked at the words.

This was something old Sookie would never say and I wasn't even sure if I was capable of what I was saying.

Yes I was.

The words rang through my head and I tensed up as Claude laughed.

"The bond with the vampire has made you colder. Now that's ironic don't you think?"

"No I think this is ironic." I waved my hand to him as he stood there trapped like an animal.

He stopped laughing and glared at me again.

"Can we hurry this up?" Amelia asked as she tapped her foot.

"Claude tell us where the vampire is and your punishment shall be merciful." Niall told him as he stood in front of him strong and powerful.

I swear I could see a glow radiating around him and I couldn't help but stare at him.

His blue eyes glowed while his jet black hair seemed to rise a bit.

"You don't scare me." He spit in Niall's direction.

"If he doesn't scare you how about me?" Amelia said as she began to chant and Claude let out a gut wrenching scream.

"Fuck you witch!" He said through clenched teeth.

"Amelia, don't kill him." I told her.

"I won't, I'm just having fun." She said and a chill ran through my spine as she said that.

"Claude where is Russell?" I asked him once more.

He looked up at me as Amelia stopped chanting and gave me a sad look.

"I'm sorry Sookie." I gave him a confused glance as he stood up and blasted me with his light.

Everything seemed to happen at once and when I got back up I saw Claude take a dagger and stab Niall with it.

"No!" I screamed as the windows around me broke and I saw Mab outside smiling at me.

"Hello my dear." She said as the fae that were around her advanced into the house.

"Go men, protect the house!" One of the guards yelled as they all gathered and shot at the fae.

The Cluviel Dor, I forgot all about it.

I ran and Amelia grabbed me.

"We have to get out of here!" She yelled as gunshots roared through the house and screams of pain and anguish filled the air.

"I have to get the Cluviel Dor and I'm not leaving Eric!" I yelled back at her.

"Jason's back at his place we can hide there." She said but ignored her as I ran up the stairs to the room that held the Cluviel Dor.

Claude stood there with the item in his hands and we both froze.

"How could you?" I asked him.

How could you work with her?

"You have no clue; Niall was a monster to me. Mab promised me a better life."

"Your sister died for the cause Niall was creating, or was that a lie?" I asked him.

"That was not, Claudine was a good woman and she would never have worked for Mab. But I'm not her." He told me and I saw a tear fall down his cheek.

"Be the better man, you know you want to be." I told him.

"It's too late, it's gone too far. I've got what I want and I am a man of my word." He threw me a piece of paper and it had an address on it.

"Russell is there."

"What are you going to do with it?" I asked him.

"That's none of your business dear cousin. Go get your life back while I go and start mine." I couldn't let him leave with the Cluviel Dor.

I looked at the paper and put it in my pocket.

"Deals off." I told him as I blasted him with my light and he hit the wall and the Cluviel Dor dropped to the ground.

"No!" He yelled as he went to grab it but I jumped on top of him and punched him as hard as I could.

"It doesn't have to be this difficult." He told me as he threw me off of him and he got on top of me and punched me.

I blasted him again and he flew out of the room.

I grabbed the Cluviel Dor and tried to run out of the room but Claude grabbed my ankle and brought me down to the ground.

I screamed in pain as my head hit the ground with a loud thud.

"Sookie!" Amelia yelled and then she began to chant.

"This could have been an easy thing." Claude said as he produced another dagger.

"No don't!" I screamed as the house began to shake and I saw through the window that it became dark outside.

What's happening?

I felt a sharp pain in my chest as I looked and saw the knife protruding from my chest.

Claude looked just as stunned as I was.

"Oh my God, what have I done?" He got up and grabbed the Cluviel Dor and stared at me in shock.

"No!" I heard someone roar as I began to lose consciousness as I fought the internal blackness.

When I looked at Claude one last time he mouthed he was sorry before his head fell from his body and I saw Bill standing there with blood all over him.

"Sookie!" He yelled and I felt someone by my side crying and holding my hand and then I felt another sharp pain as I saw the knife was removed from my body.

"Stay with me, my lover." I opened my eyes slowly and I saw it was Eric by my side that was crying and yelling.

He bit into his wrist and offered me his blood and I tried to drink as much as I could.

The blackness got to me as I slipped out of consciousness.

"Come back to me." I heard Eric's voice say gently to me as I opened my eyes and he smiled at me.

"Looks like I broke my promise, I gave it an effort though, to be safe." He laughed and kissed me.

As he helped me up I looked around and saw we were in Bill's resting place.

Bill was there and it appeared he was in a daze along with Pam.

I could tell the fae blood was getting to them.

I could feel Eric's hunger but I knew he was restraining himself because of me.

Amelia was in the corner with Niall next to her.

"I thought you were dead?"

"Almost, Amelia here saved me. She has many healing spells that could be very useful in the future." I smiled at Amelia.

"Did you call Jason?" I asked her and she shook her head.

"I will now, I just didn't want to worry him before." She got up and took out her phone.

"What happened?" I asked Eric.

"There were a lot of causalities. Most of the guards were killed and a lot of the fae that were here are dead and are now being disposed of as we speak."

"What about Mab?"

"She ran away but I will take care of her." Niall said and I nodded.

"How did you get to me?" I asked Eric.

"Amelia performed a spell to make the sun go down for a little bit. Once I got you down here the sun went back up." I could feel his tiredness and I knew the sun must still be up.

"You all should go back to sleep, I'm fine now." I told them especially Eric.

"Only if you stay by my side." Eric said and he gave me a look as to dare me to contradict him.

"Okay." He smiled and I kissed him as everyone went back to their sleeping areas.

"Sookie, I'm glad that you are okay." Bill said as he smiled at me and I smiled back at him.

"Thanks Bill." He gave me one last look before walked away.

I would always have a special part in my heart for Bill regardless of what happens and in the end he was still there to help me and I was grateful for it.

As everything settled down Eric put his arms around me.

"I know where Russell is, he gave me the address before he died." I told Eric remembering Bill decapitate Claude.

"Then tonight you get your old life back, are you ready for that?" He asked me and I thought it over.

I wanted my friends back but the drama that came with it was a down side, but in the end it was my life. It wasn't anyone else's life and I wanted back.

All of the people I have met are the result of my life. I wouldn't be with Eric if I didn't meet Bill and I guess I didn't give a fuck about all of the crazy shit as long as I had Eric by my side and with this newly developed blood bond I knew we were going to be in each other's lives for a while.

"I'm ready, are you?" I asked him and he smiled.

"Why not?" We both laughed and it reminded me of the way he was when he was under Marnie's spell.

His hair wasn't gelled back but a little bit in his face and he looked almost human and I couldn't resist kissing him.

"I wish we were alone." He said deeply and I laughed.

"I wish you would go to sleep." He held on to me tighter and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"I like this." I said out loud and Eric nodded.

I felt Eric drift off and I knew he was dead for the day and I just laid there in his arms.

I began to fall asleep and I saw in the corner of my eye Niall looking at us with a strange expression on his face.

He smiled at me and he raised the Cluviel Dor that was in his hands and he placed in next to him as he disappeared.

I looked and saw Amelia sitting in the corner and she smiled at me.

"You okay?" She mouthed to me.

"I'm good." And I meant it.
