"So sorry…Oh God…So sorry."
Chapter 18:
EPOV:
Over the next two hours we sat and watched as every compound the fellow ship had was raided. Apparently the president himself had issued orders for the military to intercede and take them down, his official announcement was that the 'churches' posed a threat to the American way of life. And just because we weren't breathing occupants didn't make us any less Americans. While raiding the military found recorded conversations between Newlin and his lackey's with state officials, governors and congressmen, even senators. The American government was seeking to impeach those found on the recordings, Needless to say the VRA was shoe in for passing into a law. Godric and Sophie's phones were ringing non stop, everyone wanted to know how the caller was that set this all into motion. All Sophie and Godric would say was that the woman responsible wanted to remain anonyms for now and when that changed they would be notified, but that answer wasn't going to fly for very long, around the world reports were coming in about Vampires fleeing their countries to come here where and I quote
"The wall of hate had finally been torn down." around the compounds that were raided humans were protesting, but not as you would think, they had signs and were chanting the new anthem of the hour.
"Oh hell no, the fellowships got to go!" they had found several more vampires when the raids commenced, one didn't make it and Sookie was beside herself. The Dallas compound had burned to the ground after on lookers decided to torch it, so in all the other states the military did controlled burns so citizens wouldn't take it upon themselves again. The night wasn't over and we didn't even make move to venture out. The injured vampires were taken to the king and or queens homes to recover where prayer vigils and humans with candles line the streets openly wishing the vampire's a speedy recovery. Blood banks had come around with live donors to assist, this was all so fucking unbelievable we didn't think anything else could possibly top it. that was until another breaking news story filled the air waves. Sookie grabbed my hand and squeezed like she knew what was coming, and the same frazzled looking woman announced to the world.
"With Vampire's existence made public, did you ever wonder what else might be out there?" the humans in the room didn't breath, the vampires didn't move we all waited for what we couldn't ever imagine happening to happen. The camera zoomed out and there in the CNN studio sat what made up the supernatural council save two, Her grace Pythia for the vampires, Lato for the Were's, Blake for the Dae, Ruma for the witches, and one I didn't recognize but looked to be a fucking sprite! And by the god's the Britlingens had a Speaker. The biggest reaction in the room was Sookie, when she saw Pythia I thought she would pass out. I sent her as much calm as I could through the bond, but I was freaking the fuck out too.
"CNN has the privilege to introduce more beings into the known world, they have lived beside us in the shadows peacefully for as long as there has been life on this earth, Some do not even live in this world but a different dimension all together. The leaders of those races and worlds sit before us now." She looked to the council
"Would you please introduce yourselves to the human population." Pythia smiled at the camera.
"I am Pythia, As you know I am vampire. We made ourselves know to you two years ago. It has taken all that has happened today, the out pouring of love and kindness towards my kind to make us see that with out hate we can have peace. I will let the others introduce themselves then I have one last thing to say before we are finished here." Lato was next to speak.
"I am Lato, for thousands of years the myths of Werewolves has been greatly exaggerated. Our bites are not the cause of our abilities, we are born not made. We live beside you in the world everyday." he then stood and stripped his clothes and shifted in front of a world wide audience, and howled before shifting back and regaining his clothing. Blake took his turn then.
"I am Blake, Daemons are not what stories have made us to be. We do not go around condemning souls to fire, although it is our preferred element, there are those of my people who can harness the powers of the other elements as well. We did not come from your biblical hell. We are no threat to the human population." In one palm he summoned fire, in the other water. Then gave the floor to Ruma.
"We are witches, as you can see there are no brooms I have flown in on, I have no warts and neither am I evil. We do not eat babies, our DNA is human, with a extra twist. Most of us protect we do not destroy, we are of no threat to the rest of the human population." the fucking sprite was next.
"I am Lacuna, I am not of this realm originally, nor do my people live here fully now. I am a sprite, the stories of us are greatly misconstrued. When we do have the chance to come to thins world we stick to your forests as we are beings of nature. We are not now or have we ever been a threat to this world." The fucking sprite allowed her wings to be seen. Next the Britlingens.
"I am Theasle, of the race of the Britlingens, we do no inhabit this world. We are guards and warriors. We too have a multitude of races in our world. We live together in peace." she didn't do anything because really what else did she need to do? A seven foot tall woman wearing body armor doesn't get questioned. Pythia took center stage again looking directly into the Camera and in the evolved language of my people she spoke
"ljuset har gett sätt till en ny dag. Sookie, I will see you in California." Pam in true Pam form had only one thing to say.
"Fuck a zombie!" yep that about sums it up, there was only one way I would be able to keep Sookie safe, and I know that's not what she wanted, but it had to be done. I picked her up and took her to our room. I didn't care what revelations the news wanted to reveal I needed to speak to her. I set her on the end of the bed and knelt between her legs.
"You must come forward." she looked at me like I was crazy.
"What the hell are you talking about? If anything I should find a whole to climb into." I sighed and cupped her face in my hands.
"My love, Her grace just named you in front of a live world wide audience, she used my native tongue, there are not many will not come to the conclusion she was speaking to me. The vampires in my area know your name and that you're my life mate, the Were's know. Sookie, it's time for the rest of the world to know who you are, what you have done." she shook her head.
"If I do that there will be even more danger than there is now!" I shook my head and tried to make her see pushing as much pride as I could to her.
"You stubborn ass woman! Do you not see what you have done today?" she looked at me confused and I knew through our bond she was confused. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Pythia, when she spoke in my language do you know what she said?" she shook her head.
"No, but I got the part about seeing me in califuckingfornia!" her fear was giving way to anger.
"She said "The light has given way to a new day" Sookie, what did you say to Anthony before his death?" she thought about it.
"Light lives within me." then realization set in as I spoke.
"Newlin is no more because of you, which I have some questions about by the way, humans have camped out on vampire palace lawns offering prayers for recovery. The entire supernatural fucking community just came out to the entire world! I know what you want, you want to go with me and live life for us. You want to have a normal relationship with your mother. You want to have the world forget you. But like you said to me those what eight, nine nights ago, You always want what you cant have. Vampires and other supernatural creatures are waiting to meet the woman who "Brought down the wall of hate." the elves want to take you as do the fae. If you come forward and are in the spotlight, I pity the race that tries to take The light that has given way to a new day." she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me close.
"I'm scared." I pulled her back.
"I'll protect you." she shook her head.
"I'm not scared for me… if something where to happen to you because…" I smashed my lips to hers, of course I should have know she wasn't worried about herself. In the way I do I made her see reason.
"I'll be just fine, you know, I know this fae/elf, and she's pretty bad ass not to mention a vigorous lover. I'll just give her a call, she'll protect me among other things." she punched me in the shoulder and I knocked her back on the bed. She was laughing softly.
"You don't know who your dealing with Viking." I kissed my way up her stomach.
"On but I do my lover, my mate, my light, my life." I didn't say the last words I was thinking because I am sure they would have ruined the moment. My wife. After making her come six times it was finally time to die for the day. Pythia's voice entered my mind.
"What she has done cannot be undone, prepare yourself Viking for the fight of your life." Just fucking great!
A/N: tell me what you think please, I am dying to know. The next chapter will skip to five days in the future, they will be in California, but we will get cliff notes of what has been going on in that time. Review if you can : )
