Chapter Eleven

Three Lunatics, A Kidnapping And A Fucking Psycho

Sookie POV

I couldn't move and breathing was becoming more and more difficult so I started to kick against the ground until strong arms went around me and I could breathe in relief.

"It's me."

"Eric…" I pulled away from him and breathe rapidly to catch my breath. "Are you insane? You scared me to death!"

"Well, then you already know how it feels." He glared at me and I knew immediately what he meant. "I told you to stay in the car and you promised you would, but when I arrived and didn't see you…hell, Sookie, I thought they had found you and I was willing to get into that house firing until they all were dead. I almost had a heart attack when I saw you walking in the dark through the woods toward the house." Eric was furious but I couldn't blame him.

"Sorry. I don't know what happened to me but I was sitting there thinking on my Gran, if she'd be right or not and suddenly couldn't help it. I know it was stupid but…" I clung tightly to his waist with my hands and a second later his arms were around me and his hands caressing my back. "Shhh…it's okay, Sookie…" I began to sob against his chest, I couldn't hold the tears longer and let them flooded me. I knew it wasn't the best time to let myself go by my feelings and panic but I was unable to control myself; being alone in the woods without seeing anything and scared had been too much for me.

"Sookie…I need you to listen carefully, okay?" Eric pulled away from me and looked into his eyes while I nodded. "I can't bring you back to the car and come here again, there's no time and there's someone in there…"

"It's Bill Compton; I've seen him," I cut him off but he nodded.

"I know, I've seen him, too. Listen, Bill Compton is the least of our problems right now, do you understand?" Eric looked worried and that alerted me. "The woman with him is called Lorena Krasiki." Seriously, what kind of name was that for a professional killer? I would have expected something more…impressive? "She's insane; I worked with her once and instead of killing the person she had to kill, she killed his entire family, including children." God, suddenly her name didn't seem funny anymore, it was terrifying. "But that's not the worst." Was there something else? Why suddenly all the professional killers were in Bon Temps? "There's another man, his name is Alcide Herveaux. He's an ex-military like me but he's crazy. He's the kind of man who won't stop at nothing when he has a purpose and has no scruples, that's what makes him someone really dangerous."

"So…what is he doing here? I don't understand, Eric, if this is about Bill, why these other two working with him? It makes no sense."

"I don't know yet, but I'll find out."

"C'mon, we gotta go."

Eric grabbed my hand tightly and began to walk in silence toward the house. I had no idea who Alcide Herveaux and Lorena Krasiki were but Eric seemed really concerned about the fact that they were involved in my Gran's kidnapping. I was beginning to think there was something else and the idea of Jason would have arranged everything to make money and pay his debts gave me the creeps.

Eric walked quickly, moving easily through the woods and although I was trying to follow him, I was more and more tired and my legs started to slack off. I couldn't hold out much longer but I had to, I needed to be strong for my Gran and do everything possible to rescue her. Of course I could have chosen the easier option and have left Eric had been in charge of everything but I had to be realistic; I'd have hated myself if I hadn't tried everything. Eric knew what he was doing much better than me so I was willing to do anything to save her.

Suddenly we stopped and I could clearly see the three people in the room. Alcide was tall, with dark hair and green, cold and piercing eyes. Just seeing him made me feel like a shiver running down my back. "I don't like that man," I whispered at his shoulder as we were hiding a few yards from the house. Eric was studying the situation, or that's what he said when I asked him, waiting the best time to act and end with those nuts killers and rescue my Gran.

"I'm going to come in."

"What? Are you insane?" I was whispering trying not to scream. "Eric, you can't go in there, they know you're with me and will kill you as you cross the door."

"No, they will not. Look, Bill's gone." I looked into the room again and only saw the other two but still… "It's my chance. Alcide and Lorena don't trust Bill so if I convinced them that Compton is using them…I'll get end with this and save your grandmother."

"Eric, this is insane. You don't know what Bill has told them, you've no idea what's going to happen if you get in. I heard Bill talking to Lorena and he was saying her that I was with you even you had to kill my brother. Don't you understand? Lorena knows the truth, she knows about us, so if you get in the house they will kill you." I was cupping his face, staring at him in the moonlight and although I was terrified I couldn't help thinking it was a little romantic situation. "I love you and I want to save my Gran but I can't lose you, Eric."

"You won't lose me." And before I could say anything more, he kissed my forehead and left. I wanted to run after him but I was paralyzed. I had only two choices: I could stay there in the darkness waiting for Eric's plan took effect or get up and get in through he back door of the house to save my Gran and the man I loved.

Eric had called me stubborn but I was thinking the same about him at that very moment. If Eric wanted to get into that house and get himself killed was his own business but I wasn't going to stay doing nothing and waiting for him. I grabbed the gun tightly again and stood with the conviction that I needed to be strong enough and go into the house.

I walked half bent, as Eric had taught me, and slid the knob of the back door gently and without making any noise. My heart was beating at high speed and I could even feel the pressure in my ears but I managed to ignore it and focus on opening the door and get into the kitchen. If I knew something for sure was that all the farms in Bon Temps were built the same way so I knew where I was doing.

Everything was dark except the light coming from the other room but it was too far to illuminate something else. The kitchen counter was filled with dust 'cause the house had been abandoned for a long time and the furniture was almost inexistent so the chance of stumbling into something was remote. I still walked slowly and carefully, trying not to make any noise and hoping to hear more but nothing, nothing at all.

I didn't know if Eric was already in the house or not, but approaching to the lighted room did not seem the best idea. No, I had to get into the rest of rooms to find my Gran; she had to be in any of them, scared and having no idea what was happening.

I walked into the first room and called her but didn't hear anything. Maybe she was gagged and unable to speak but I didn't hear any other noise so I knew she wasn't there. It was driving me insane because I couldn't hear anything and I was running out of patience.

"Well…" I suddenly felt cold hands on my shoulders and I stood motionless, as if that would save me. "What do we have here?" I could feel Bill's breath on my neck, as if I were in a horror movie and I began to sob uncontrollably. "Sookie…I've missed you." He said while was laughing.

Eric POV

I knew I didn't have much time until Compton got back so I walked into the house as if it were the most normal thing.

"Eric Northman…" Lorena was the first to speak when I was in the middle of the room. "I never thought to see you again. It's been a while since we worked together for the last time."

"Yes, Lorena, long time." I even could see in her eyes that she was a crazy and dangerous woman but I wasn't willing to take any risks. "I heard you were here with Alcide Herveaux and I couldn't hold back myself for a visit. Alcide, it's been a long time, glad to see you."

His eyes followed me as if he didn't trust me and it was logic. "Northman, what the fuck are you doing here?" I didn't expect a warm welcome but I needed to pretend.

"What's up? An old friend and fellow can't interest for you guys?" I asked him as I raised my arms innocently. "Alcide, you've always been a weird guy about trusting each others but we fight together and we really are old friends."

"You and I have never been friends, Northman, so don't fuck with me!"

"Oh come on, Alcide…don't be so bitter." Lorena linked her arms with mine and I suddenly felt the urge to throw her against the wall. "We've also missed you but Herveaux is too proud to admit it. You've always been the best, so this has to be hard for Russell."

When I was about to ask her what she was talking about, Bill appeared in the room holding Sookie firmly. "Wow…what a meeting, right?" Sookie's eyes irritated and I knew she had been crying but the rest of her face showed me that she wasn't going to let Compton to see her crying again. "It's great that we all finally are here together, isn't it? It takes some time to Sookie to realize what she really feels for me but better late than never and we're together now and we're happy." What the fuck he was talking about? Bill Compton was a psycho but was insane too. I knew Sookie was only going along with him 'cause she knew it was her only choice. "Eric, I'm sorry to say this to you, but Sookie is in love with me and we'll leave together Bon Temps; I'll take care of her, right, Sookie?"

"Yes," she whispered as put a fake smile on her lips and looked at Compton.

"See? She loves and…"

"We've only come to this shitty town for that?" asked Lorena furiously. "Bill, tell me it's not just about this bitch because I'll get pissed off and you don't want to see me like that." So Lorena and Alcide didn't know Bill's real motives. "Where is supposed to be that old woman and the money?" I understood the kidnapping but the money…what money?

"There is no kidnapping." Sookie and I opened our eyes wide when we heard Bill. If Adele hadn't been kidnapped…where the hell she was? "I went to her home and asked her for politely to leave the house for a few hours because they were going to spray my yard and I didn't want the chemicals will cause her problems so I urged her to go to her grandson's house, Jason." Fucking Compton. I never thought he could be so smart but I was sure he used his Southern charm to convince Adele goes for a few hours would be the only solution.

"My Gran is not here?"

"No, baby, she's not."

"You're a fucking sick!" Sookie was yelling at him and although it wasn't a good idea… Hell, I would have done the same. "Who the fuck you think you are, Bill? When I came home and saw my Gran was nowhere I almost had a heart attack and actually…you know, you should kill me now, Bill, otherwise I'll go after you until I get rip your head off. Fucking psycho!" Bill was trying to hold firmly Sookie but she was stronger. I felt every single word she said to Bill, with courage and sincerity, but I knew if I didn't act quickly things would get really ugly.

"So…all this is for her?" Lorena asked annoyed. "Just a shitty town bitch." Sookie was red with anger and if she could have slapped Lorena…God, I'd have to love to see that but it wasn't a good idea because we were all armed. "I should kill you both for this."

"Over my dead body!" I answered automatically.

"So it's true then; you love her, Eric." It hadn't sense to continue hiding it. With Bill there all had come to light so there was nothing more to hide. "Yes, I love her and I won't let you hurt her."

"You, Eric Northman, are you in love? With her?" And she looked at Sookie depreciatively. "This is a huge surprise."

I couldn't look away from Sookie and I knew it was my only chance. The woman I loved had a gun without bullets so I had to get her out of that house soon.

"None of you will ever know what I feel for her." I pulled my gun from the pocket of my jacket and shot against Alcide first. He fell struck down to the ground before he knew what was going on and though I wanted to take care of the rest, I didn't. I took the chance to grab Sookie's arm and put her behind me before Bill could hurt her.

"Get out of here now!"

"But…" I crashed down my lips on hers and kissed her passionately before she could object. "Do not argue with me. The keys are in the car so go now. Run as fast as you can and never look back." Sookie didn't move so I opened the door and pushed her outside. "I love you. Run!" Finally she did and disappeared into the darkness.

At least Sookie was safe.
