A/N: So we are still in new Orleans, time to see what else Sookie uncovers! Ty for the reviews! Much writer love to my readers! On with the show. : )

Previously:

"You should invest in silent key pads, one well placed recorder and all they have to do is play it back and punch in the right tones. When we came in they were thinking how they were glad they left the recorders in place, cause a thousand year old vampire's blood would catch a fair sum." the tear that fell was proof that I had fucked up, I should have asked what was going on instead of just reacting. I had her in my lap and was wiping her tears away and I didn't give a fuck who was in the room with us. I would learn to communicate better and so would she, she was worried about my safety as I rested and that's what made her so angry. Sophie looked at us through kind eyes and it was the first time I had ever seen that look on her face, Compassion.

Chapter 16:

EPOV:

The compassionate look didn't last for long though as Sookie lifted her skirt and pulled out a wooden knife from a garter, Sookie put any anger that Sophie had at her for bringing this into her home with a few words.

"They don't check for wood either, there is a spell that can make wood glow to the eyes of a trusted guard, if you would like and have someone you trust I will have my friends spell them, if you would do me one favor." Sophie sat back in her chair.

"Whatever it is I can do." Sookie let out a shaky breath.

"Do not rest here and do not make us rest here either, there must be someplace we can all go that is a little smaller so we can ward and everyone would be protected for the day." the corner of Sophie's lips twitched.

"You would do this if I made sure we were all safe come dawn? Myself included?" Sookie nodded.

"Even if it were not my job to make sure my subjects were safe, I would do this for you. Now dry those eyes and steel yourself. For what I do not consider weakness others would." Sookie wiped her eyes and laughed.

"Those who mistake my tears for weakness will meet their end by my hand." Sophie's laughter echoed through out the room.

"Touché my dear, let us go and weed out the spies and chain the Weres, then we will find a place to rest." I helped Sookie off my lap and I could feel her remorse and sadness for being mad at me. I sent her love and comfort because I was pissed at myself as well. But we needed to move on, we would talk later about it and learn how to avoid it in the future. She put back on her glasses and we walked out with the queen. Sookie was on her guard and I realized there was no way to be sure who the Queen could trust in her own house hold besides other vampires.

"I have gathered all of our humans in the solarium, there Weres will be gathered a little later, since they threatened your bonded I am assuming you would like to be there for the punishments?" Sookie's mood turned dark and feral.

"Can I dish out a little of my own type?" Sophie nodded in acceptance and If I really cared I would have felt sorry for those Were's if what she did to the elf was any indication they were going to be begging for mercy.

Two hours later…

The human donors were everything form Hep v infected to Soldiers of the fellowship. What she got from them was nothing short of a miracle that had Godric on his phone to the king of Texas. Newlin was in for a big surprise. Sookie found a young girl forced to come here by her parents and Newlin. It seems they had offered her up to Newlin when she was just fifteen years old, She had been repeatedly raped by him and fellow members of his congregation. This was the only time Sophie and Sookie almost came to blows over what was going to happen to a prisoner. The girl, Hadley, was so terrified she grabbed for a knife in hopes of slitting her own throat. But not because she was going to be punished, but because she was seventeen and Sophie was going to send her back to her parents. When Sophie saw the desperation in the girls eyes, she saw something that reminded her of herself before her maker took her from that life. If I had to guess I would say that Sophie would have a new child very soon. The time had come to deal with the Were's, they were all brought into a conference room where Sophie gave the floor to Sookie. She took off her glasses and scanned the crowd with her milky eyes.

"There are those of you who have chosen to take the trust that was placed in you and use it for your own greed, let those who are guilty come forward and I will grant a swift death." no one spoke a word, and that only proved to further piss her off. In an instant seven Were's were thrown against the far walls and held there. The rest tried to get up but found they could not. Telekinesis, oh how I love you.

"These Were's have stolen the life's blood of over fifty resting Vampires, including the queen who they were sworn and paid well to protect. I am no stranger to pack justice, my name is Sookie Stackhouse…" heads wiped to her, eyes wide.

"Those against the wall have committed blood offences, I know how those are dealt with, those who know my name know I speak the truth." the sitting Were's tension was no more, they took on a look of reconciliation, they could not help those and would not even try. Sookie had spent a lot of time explaining her place among the different packs. As shaman her word was for lack of a better word gold.

"I am sorry to have to have you bare witness to this but you must, these vampires will have their justice with all but two, those two are mine. I am Bonded to the Viking…" this got some reaction, none that was bad just surprised.

"They were going to take his life blood while he rested come dawn. His blood is my blood, do you deny your Shaman justice?" the look she got when she said shaman from Sophie was wonderful. Sophie looked at me and winked. Pride coursed through me. That's right she's mine! I wanted to lay her out on the table and claim her in front of them all. She felt my lust surge and she shivered her arousal could be smelled for miles. She looked at me as if to say please not now. I reigned it in, but not all the way. She felt the little bit I left and her lips twitched. I was brought out of my thoughts and feelings by the Weres at the table speaking

"We deny you nothing shaman." they spoke in unison. She nodded to them.

"I thank you for holding true to our customs." they bowed their heads as she got up from the table and moved to stand in front of the guards that let us in. she looked to me in an act of submission and said.

"Which do you chose my love?" I felt pride pouring through my maker and my Childs bonds. I caught Pam's eyes every so briefly, she had been against the bond and now she was feeling ashamed of herself. I sent her pride and love, she was only trying to protect her maker, there was nothing to be shameful of, she nodded slightly as to say she understood what I saw in her now. I chose the disrespectful one that chose not to answer my beloved. Sookie looked to Sophie.

"If your majesty pleases, I would have the rest taken to have the individual justice served, but these need to be witnessed." Sophie spoke through lowered fangs.

"Pack business is pack business, I will leave you to it, but do not toy with them for long, we must go to rest." meaning we must travel to a secure location before dawn so don't play long. Sookie curtsied and I bowed while Sophie exited with nine vampires and their five toys for the evening. Godric and Pam stayed with us. Sookie released her hold on the Were's who were at the table and they moved to stand lined up against the other wall. Sookie brought hers to his knees, then out of nowhere it was like the wind had torn his shirt from his body. Sookie sat crossed legged in front of him.

"Look at me Anthony." the Were's head was forced up and she smiled at him.

"The wind whispers to me Anthony…" a slice formed down his spine reveling it to our sights. The wolf howled in agony. Her hands started to glow green again, vines came slithering through a window behind him and dug themselves into his opened flesh.

"The earth obeys me Anthony…" Snap, Snap, Snap. The vines rose a little out of his back taking with them his spine but not severing it. One hand started to glow white as she raised it to his head.

"But above all else Anthony, light lives within me." she placed her hand on his forehead and in a flash of light his flesh was no more, ash was all that remained save his spine which the vines laid in her now out stretched palm, she stroked the vine like a mother would stroke the hair of her child, then it slithered back through the window. She stood and placed the spine on the table and looked to the rest of the Were's

"Remember what you have seen here for death will not come swiftly to those who are guilty treachery. This is not a fate only for those who betray vampires, this is the fate of any whom chooses this path against any I have been sworn to. Go in peace this night brothers and call on me if you find need." she bowed her head to them and they bowed fully at the waist before leaving. Fuck this, she was mine and I was going to claim her now, I looked over to Pam before grabbing my lover and leaving so fast a vampire would have thought it impossible.

"Have fun with him Pam." I could hear her snarls and the other Were's screams as we left. Next room over, I had her dress up and my pants down and was inside her before the door closed, the beast would not be denied. Her snarls and growls where just as loud as mine as I took her forcefully. Her fingers drew blood as they wracked down my back, then she struck, her teeth tore at the flesh of my neck and she latched on pulling my blood into her and my fangs plunged into hers. So wicked, so cruel, so lovely, so beautiful, mine! My stokes became tender and my touch soft, she released me as I did her and she looked into my eyes and said.

"Mine." my seed spilled into her as she went over the edge, even then I did not release her, forehead against forehead we stayed until a knock on the door pulled us out of our haven. Before I removed my self from her frame I hugged her tightly to me and whispered in her ear.

"Yours."
