SPOV

"Jason!" I yelled as I saw him laying on the dirty concrete floor and I ran to him

knelt down by him checking to see if he was hurt.

"Jason? Are you okay? Oh my god Jason!" I started sobbing again remembering how beaten and bloody he was the last time I saw him chained up. At least he wasn't beaten and bloody this time he was just really dirty and smelt like he had had a bath in a few weeks.

"YOU BASTARD!" I yelled at Eric "How can you keep people down here chained up like animals? They are Human beings!" I looked back down at Jason fussing over him.

"Ssss…Sssookie?" Jason's eyes fluttered open and he gave me a weak smile. "You came for me?" Jason sat up a little straighter wincing while he did so "No Sookie, you gotta get out of here, Please Sookie leave." Jason tried to shoo me away.

"No Jason! Are you crazy? I'm not leaving you here." I yelled at him. "I'm gona get you outta here I know you didn't do it for all I know he glamoured you into confessing!" I hissed as I tried to help Jason up.

"Sookie, no don't." He said while he took my hand and touched it too his cheek. He was confessing to me, this time. I saw everything… Him and Amy kidnapping Eddie… Him and Amy tying Eddie up with silver in the basement of my parent's home. Then draining him slowly for their 'V' fix. And finally Amy staking him. My hand flew away from his cheek like it got burned.

"Jason… No!" tears began to fall again as I whispered to him. I just couldn't believe it, but then again I had no choice but to believe it I saw it clear as day…proof. I shoved that thought away. I had to do something surely Eric would help me. I turned to Eric. "Eric please, help me…help me save him. There's gotta be another way. I can't let him die he's all I have left." Eric turned away from me and said.

"There is another way. But I doubt you see that this way is better. You'd have to take his place, be payment for his debt." He said not facing me.

"What the hell are you talking about? You mean for me to save him I have to die?" I said.

"No" was all he said and I waited for more. When he continued to say nothing I yelled.

"Then what the fuck are you trying to say Eric? Give it to me straight, so that I fully understand" burning holes in the back of his head with my glare. It took every ounce of my will power not to attack him.

"Your Brother is a Were now. He is bound by Supe Law, he broke three Vampire laws and in that he owes his life. The end result for him is death. Now he will be killed or you…" he let his words drift.

"What is it Eric spit it out!" I said through gnashed teeth. I felt my blood boiling because I could see where he was going with this. I just needed to hear him say it. He sighed again and shook his head and finally turned around and looked me in the eyes.

"You can be claimed if you pay his debt in death or life, if he chooses you must comply. Being that he is the eldest family member he can give your life in place of his or you can choose to pay his debt of your own will. I already told you how it will end for him. Either way the debt 'must' be paid." he said. And how does it end for me? I thought to myself. I didn't ask 'cause the answer was all too clear to me.

I was beyond anger and rage. My shields started to slip. I could hear Jason's thoughts seeping through. I couldn't believe what I was hearing from him I tried to block it out, but not only was I hearing his I was hearing every single Fangbanger's thoughts upstairs too. I had to clench my fist so hard to stop myself from trembling I was so livid my ears started to ring loud. Over the din in my ears my own thoughts started to take precedence over every one else's and for that I was grateful. My mind was reeling with what I just everything I had just heard. I could be claimed as property! By who Eric? The Queen?

How could this be happening to me? Sam was right not to trust these damn Vampires. Oh God Sam! Why was I so stupid not to listen to him. I was so stubborn and fought with him every time he tired to warn me. Thinking he was just jealous when all he was doing was trying to protect me. He knew all about the Supe world and their laws. From the moment Bill walked into Merlotte's he's been trying to warn me and I just blew him off as Jealous. My heart breaking over and over again worst with each betrayal . Jason, Bill, Hadley… Eric and even Pam where the hell was she anyway? Why am I even asking she's no one important just Eric's underling. What can she do to help me, would she even care to? She always told me 'Vampires before humans' and who was I to them anyways? Well now I know the answer… just another Bloodbag! And now realizing my most heart wrenching betrayal… but this time it's my own, I betrayed the one person who possibly was the only one who cared about me. I started to see a red haze cloud my vision and I started to Hyperventilate. I felt a cold sheen of sweat breakout on my brow and the back of my neck. I felt possessed by my thought's I couldn't control it.

I thought about Alcide and his Dad. Alcide was in this same position. His damn dad got himself indebted to the Vampires and now Alcide assumed the debt and now works for the Vampires'… My Vampire for free! And that other Were I met at the Pack Master's contest (Quinn, that was his name). I heard his Mother got into some trouble a couple of times and The Vamps and to clean up after her. Now has to fight in the pits to pay off a debt that his Mother owes.

Oh my God! This is really happening to me. Can I really let Jason get killed over his bad judgment? I mean sure he was guilty but not for murder. But that doesn't matter does it? There still gona kill him. If I take his debt, what's the price I'm gona pay? My life? My freedom? I was so dizzy with my thoughts and rage I couldn't even see straight. I needed something else to focus on so I wouldn't lose it. I could barely catch breath. My head started to feel like it was a balloon being blown up and stretched too thin. Suddenly I felt something cold and hard grip the tops of my shoulder and could barely hear my name being screamed at me. That voice so beautiful, yes focus on the voice, but that only caused my heart to break again and the ringing to stop.

I still had no control of my shields … Jason's thoughts all the Fangbanger's thoughts instantly flood my brain like a tidal wave, an inescapable wall of water crashing in to me.

'Oh God Sookie…Oh God I'm so sorry for everything I've done to you. Not being there like a brother should. Bringing this shit on you… I didn't mean it for it to happen… it's my fault…

'I wonder where that hot blond vampire is and if he'll fuck me if I offer him my blood.'

"God I just wanna get laid tonight, I don't care by who any pussy or dick with do.'

And so much more throngs of thoughts filling my mind stretching it bigger and bigger. I couldn't stand it more. More thoughts continued their assault on my brain, I started to scream and claw at my ears and temples. It was too much for me to handle I couldn't take it anymore and I blacked out. The last thing I heard before the blackness swallowed me up was Jason…

'…just leave me Sookie… let me die… let me die… I'm not worth it…don't do it…just let me die.'

When I started to come out of my blackout, I thought for sure my head was gona feel like an anvil dropped on it. If what I was feeling before the blackout happened was any indication of how much pressure my brain was under. I could taste a faint sweet metallic flavor of blood on my lips. I was about to shoot up and awake when I caught the whisper soft voices around me in the room. Struggling to keep calm I continued to pretend to be out while straining to hear the conversation going on at the same time trying to block out the sound of bass beating against the wall from the club proper. I felt strong cold fingers ghost across my cheek and hair. The gentle motion help me relax, until I remembered that I was supposed to be pissed at that bastard. But I did catch some of what was said between Eric and Pam.

"Did you at least tell her everything?" that was Pam.

"No" Eric said with no emotion.

"Eric you must tell her all of it or she'll never forgive you." Pam.

"Do you really believe any of it will matter to her?" Eric said with a hiss.

I guess the venom in his voice made me flinch ever so slightly, 'cause Eric suddenly halted his movements in my hair.

"Eric-" Pam started but he cut her off.

Jag sa ju att vi kommer inte att tala om detta i kväll!... Hon är uppvaknande" and said in that language he uses when he's pissed or 'Super excited' . They both fell silent.

Well damn guess they're not gona talk anymore. Might as well stop pretending to be asleep and get some answers. I fluttered my eyes to make an even bigger showing and they open right into the depths of Eric's sapphire blue eyes. I saw so much pain in those eyes I knew it in my heart. But my brain refuse to believe my heart anymore and I jerked my face away from those eyes.

Eric was instantly hurt by my action and that was clear as day on his face as he shot up off the couch and walked away from me. I sat up looking straight into clock on the side of Eric's desk I realized I was out for a couple of hours. I watched him out the corner of my eye slowly make his way over behind it and sit, while Pam was standing next to it. Both of them drilling holes in to my head. What were they waiting for? For me to speak? I wasn't gona talk to them I was still in stubborn pissed off Sookie mode. To hell with them. The both of them!

They finally started to speak again in that language Eric used earlier. After a few brief exchanges it started to get heated. And Pam sighed and bowed her eyes to the floor. I look between the both of them. They both looked upset but why? Why the fuck were they so pissed? They should be doing fucking cartwheels at their chance of 'Securing the Telepath'. I just couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer…

"What the hell was that about? Why are you two even upset? Don't you think me and my brother should be the ones upset?" I started to feel my anger rise again. Eric sat and stared at me for what felts like forever… "Well?" I looked between the two of them again.

"Sookie... First of all your brother is getting a fitting punishment." Eric said and I gave him my best death glare. Then he asks "Do you think your human laws would give him any less of a punishment, if a human was his victim?" he asked and I didn't answer. Of course he was right, how could I argue with that. I just sat back crossed my arms against my chest and did my best to not look at him I failed as I watched Eric's lips twitch at the corners. He continued to speak "I'm giving you the opportunity to save your brother from certain death and to protect you as well." He was saying and I interrupted him…

"Protect me!" I exclaimed.

"Protect me? You've got to fucking kidding me! If 'claiming' me and keeping me a prisoner is your idea of protection then I'll pass, thank you very much!" I screeched and sat back down still felt nauseous after my fainting spell. I heard Pam chuckle under her breath and my head snapped up in her direction.

"What the fuck Pam, I thought you were my friend! You think this is some kinda joke? This is my life!" I yelled and her head jump to my feet again. I could see that her eyes were rimmed in red. 'Well shit' I thought guiltily. Maybe she does care. She was probably laughing at Eric, could be true. That's Pam. And I assumed the worst of her. I sat back down shameful. "I want to know what the hell is going on right now, the truth all of it!" I demanded.

"No…" Eric said. I was about to jump out of my seat again when Eric stopped me with that 'Monster Eric stare' I quickly shut my mouth and let him finish. "Not tonight. The dawn will be here soon. Pam will drive you to your home and let you gather some of your things. You will be staying with me tonight. We will finish this discussion tomorrow night." Eric said with finality.

I wanted to keep arguing but hell I was just too damn tired to keep it up and to be honest I was scared shitless of Eric right now. So I sullenly followed Pam out to her car. We drove to Bon Temps got to my house. I packed a few things and said goodbye to my childhood home. I already made my decision. Even though Jason can be a selfish bastard and deserves what he gets. He's still my brother and there was no way I was gona let him die. I must have fallen asleep on the drive back to Shreveport cause I didn't remember any of it. But I vaguely remembered, Eric carrying me into his home and laying me in a bed and brushing his lips against my forehead.
