Here's the new chapter of my fic, hope you enjoy it and leave me a lovely review.

Thanks for reading!

Somebody That I Used To Know

Eric POV

We had returned. All of us were leaving the elevator but suddenly I did not feel as good as I was when we left.

The feeling was pretty weird, everything around me was real but it was like to be different at the same time.

"Eric…" I heard Sookie's faint voice next to me and I couldn't believe she would let me lay a hand on her after having been about to drink every last drop of blood from her body.

"We've seen Lilith!" Salome yelled with Nora while the rest shouted, danced and laughed saying how happy they felt about seeing Lilith. "God and Lilith have blessed us! We are free!" Salome was euphoric but she wasn't the only one.

"There's a lot to celebrate! Lilith has showed up for us. Just for us!" Russell Edgington seemed to be suffering the effects of that blood with greater intensity than the rest of us, but since I saw Godric – or was he just an illusion? – everything had changed. I did not feel so good, and nothing seemed the same when we left. And I was very pissed off at Nora with the way in which she had betrayed me.

"Bill, what the fuck happened?" I did not remember having felt this way before, not even when I was still human, but I could barely maintain control and for a vampire that was essential.

"We've seen Lilith." Was all out of his mouth while he was grinning like an asshole.

"I didn't see anyone," Sookie whispered though I was sure none of them would have heard her. I looked at her and saw how frightened she was. I couldn't blame her for it because I didn't even know what was going on.

"We were high, Bill, that's what happened." They were too crazy or high to realize what was happening, but seeing Godric telling me that the path I was following was the wrong one made me see everything with clarity. "We have to get out of here." I grabbed Sookie harder but I knew we couldn't leave without them knowing it. "Bill, none of this real, we gotta go."

"It was real. Lilith showed up for us. She did and now we know the way we must follow." I wasn't sure if Bill was just pretending or he just had been persuaded by what happened that night. Lilith was not real, I was sure of that.

"Eric," I looked down at Sookie and saw that for the first time she wasn't trying to pretend that she wasn't terrified. "Eric, we can't stay here. They're crazy, they killed all those people and we don't know what they will do next. I don't think they're going to stop…" Looking around I realized Sookie was right. The vision of Lilith – real or not – it made them to see they could do anything and there was nothing more dangerous than bloodthirsty vampires who feared nothing.

"Come on," I said as I turned to leave, "we'll go to the room until they have calmed down."

"Eric, where are you going?" Bill was the only one who seemed to be as aware as me of what was happening. "We're having a party! Lilith's blood has set us free! We don't have to keep hiding." I wasn't to stay there for more time listening bullshit so I grabbed Sookie and left.

The first thing I did was get into the shower to shake off the blood of all those people I had fed from. Not that I felt guilty but I couldn't help but feel bad about what Sookie was thinking of me. I didn't want her to hate me for what I had done because I didn't even realize what was happening around me. I wasn't aware of what I did, I couldn't control myself, but part of me – a tiny one – knew exactly what was going on but it wasn't strong enough to stop me.

"I'm done in the bathroom if you want to take a shower." But Sookie did not react, she didn't even look at me.

I started walking toward her without knowing if it would be a good idea to keep talking but at least I needed to know she was fine.

I sat next to her in bed, her clothes were still covered in blood – others blood – and all I wanted to do was hug her and assure her that everything was going to be okay and there was nothing to fear.

The problem was that I couldn't even tell her what was really happening, much less be sure things would return to normal.

"Sookie…" I whispered, but there was no reaction from her. "Sookie, I need to listen to me, okay? No matter if you don't to answer me, but I need to explain what happened, do you understand?" I knew she was pissed and scared but the fact that Sookie didn't talk was something I wasn't used to. "I have no idea what happened, I know what happened but I don't understand why. It was as if I couldn't control myself, like I wasn't myself and I feel…" I would have said I felt guilty but it really wasn't true. "Please, I need to know you're okay, I need you to forgive me."

"Forgive you?" She muttered through clenched teeth but not looking at me.

"Sookie, I don't know why I did what I did but…"

"You don't know?" Yes, she definitely was pretty pissed. "Eric, you and those vampires have killed more than a dozen people tonight." Now she was looking at my eyes, but she was more glaring at me. "You were there, Eric…" she said as she began sobbing and her eyes filled with tears. "You fed from them, not killed them, but you almost killed me." I opened my mouth to interrupt her but she was faster than me. "Bill, Salome, Nora and all of them killed those people without caring the last what they were doing. Do you realize what has happened? Now all humans will return to treat you like monsters. This is not evolving, Eric!" She got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, closing the door tightly behind her.

I had to make her understand that not all of us were wild creatures but it wasn't going to be easy after what Sookie had seen tonight.

"Can we talk?" I asked her when she left the bathroom with her hair wet and wearing only one of my shirts that were too big for her.

"I've borrowed it," she said as looking down at what she was wearing, "there was nothing else and I didn't want to wear my clothes stained with blood," she added sarcastically.

"It's all yours," I said forcing a slight smile.

"Thank you."

"Sookie, we need to talk…"

"You don't have to stay with me." She said cutting me off. "You can go with your friends to enjoy the party or whatever they're doing. I'll be fine as long as none of them walks into the room to suck my blood."

"That won't happen, Sookie." She was about to argue with me but I wasn't in the mood. It had been a lot of things – most of them pretty weird – and the last thing I needed was that Sookie and her sarcasm ended up ruining the evening. "I would never let them hurt you."

"YOU were about to hurt me, Eric. Have you forgotten?" No, of course I hadn't forgotten and I hated myself for it. "Look, I don't pretend my life means a shit for you, but you dragged me here and yes, you did because you were trying to save me, but things have changed, Eric. Now we can't trust anyone, the Authority no longer exists and those vampires – including Bill – would be able to kill me if they found out what I really am, do you understand? We are not safe, at least I'm not safe here, and I just want to leave and forget everything I've seen in the last days." Tears were constantly slipping down her cheeks and I did the only thing I knew it'd make her feel better; I hugged her.

"I will find a way to end with all this, Sookie." I said looking into her eyes. "I promise you."

"How can you make that promise when you don't even know what they're planning?" She pulled away from me and lay down in bed. "This is a nightmare and I can't wake up, no matter how hard I try." She was sobbing and whispering at the same time and I could barely hear her. "This is no longer about capturing a vampire or following the rules, Eric." She looked at me through the tears and I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. "Roman's death has changed everything. Russell, Salome and Nora were working together from the beginning and you didn't even realize. So what can we expect? They would be able to do anything and you couldn't stop them."

Was Sookie right?

"Bill and I will do."

Sookie chuckled and I looked confused at her. "Bill? Are you serious?" She rolled her eyes and sat down until we were face to face. "You saw him, we can not trust him."

"I want to think that he's just pretending." Sookie rolled her eyes again and shook her head. "Pretending? Eric, Bill's not faking it. He was as high as all of you but you were the only one able to react – just in time by the way – but that's not the point." I looked at her thoughtfully, trying to remember if at any moment Bill had shown any signs of pretending. "I'm sure he had sex with Salome 'cause whenever she was near him…"

"What?" I asked when she stopped.

"He didn't look me at the eyes, Eric. I know he's hiding something but I don't even care 'cause whatever it was between Bill Compton and I was finished long ago." She breathed deeply and laid back in bed, this time on her back and staring at the ceiling. "This is bullshit. We are trapped and surrounded by moron vampires while trying to find a way to escape and make them see that nothing that happened tonight was real."

This time I laid down next to her but supporting my weight on the elbow to look down at her.

"I need to find out if it's true. We need to know if we can count on Bill or not, but the result – whatever it is – won't affect my decision about us."

"What decision?" Sookie muttered looking into my eyes. "Tell me, what should I expect?"

"We're going to get out of here, Sookie."

She closed her eyes and breathed deeply but when she spoke again she didn't open them. "I would love to believe you, Eric." She stared at me and I would have been able to do anything for her at that moment. There was so much sadness in her eyes that I even could feel her pain through the bond. "I'm serious, but we are so fucked up that I'm unable to see the light." She smiled weakly while avoid my gaze. "Besides, I'm not even sure there's a way out 'cause you know like me that they would chase us. They would be able to find us as they did the first time."

I remembered every detail – even the smallest ones – of that night in the harbour when we were captured by the guards of the Authority. Sookie was so worried about returning home that she didn't care what was happening or what we did but now things had changed. Now Roman and Dieter, the greatest advocates of pacific coexistence between humans and vampires, had died and the true intentions of the other members had come to light.

"Sooner or later, Eric, they will realize you're not on their side and maybe Bill tells them something about the delicious fairy blood he tasted so many times. How long it will take us to kill me then?"

"They won't touch you, Sookie!" I groaned and spoke very seriously. I made her a promise and I was going to keep it until the end.

I was surprised when Sookie grabbed my hand and laced her fingers with mine as if it were second nature. "I know you're not the guilty of what happened, Eric, but I have to confess that I was scared to death when I thought you were going to bite me at the bar." She stroked my hand every few seconds and I knew to confess all this was very hard for her. "I looked into your eyes but I realized you weren't yourself and I wanted you to react but I didn't know how." If I had hurt Sookie I would never have forgiven myself. "But I still don't understand how you were able to stop just at the last second. The others were feeding and none of them realized but you…I dunno, something happened 'cause when I looked into your eyes again I could see you were not going to hurt me. How did you do it?"

Should I tell her the truth? She may think I was as crazy as the others but at least I could think clearly.

"Godric."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I stayed leaning against the door frame until Nora noticed me and got up to hug me.

She had been kneeling in front of the urn containing the blood we had drunk the night before and she was probably praying as she had been doing it in the cell.

"Brother…" She hugged me and I could feel the bond between us was still pretty strong but Nora had changed too much.

"This isn't you, Nora." I murmured as I stroked her hair but when I looked at her I noticed her eyes were not the ones I wanted to look at me in that way. "This is not real."

"It's Lilith's blood what made us see the world as it is, Eric." And she smiled broadly at me. "Of course it's real." How could I make her see she was wrong when she couldn't even listen to me?

"What happened last night was not real, Nora. Lilith did not show up, it was just an illusion caused by the blood," I said pointing to the urn. "You can't keep doing this, you can't let Russell and Salome to continue with this madness, do you understand? Killing humans indiscriminately is not the solution, it will only mean more problems."

"Last night we were free, Eric. It was Lilith's will."

"Lilith does not exist!" I yelled and waited that for once she listened to me.

"Eric, it's not what you really think, I know. Lilith does exist and sooner or later you will end up realizing."

"Godric would wish that I saved you." I wasn't to tell her that I had seen him like a vision because I wouldn't get to convince her. "I've loved you for the past six hundred years, Nora. I made a promise to Godric the night he turned you. I promised him that I would take care of you and protect you until the day of the true death and I wanted to fulfil that promise until last night."

"Godric is dead, Eric. All his promises mean nothing."

"How can you say that?"

"Godric was one of the most bloodthirsty vampires who ever lived, Eric. We both know but eventually he let himself go for the humans, he became weak and pathetic and I'm glad not to have been with him when he decided to meet the true death and…" She couldn't say another word because I grabbed her throat and pushed her up until her head was leaning against the rock that held the urn.

"Do not talk about Godric like that! Never!" It would have been so easy to kill her and destroy everything that I had to make great efforts to restrain myself and release her slowly. "Godric would be ashamed if he saw in what you have become." And I left without looking back.

What else could I do to convince her that she was wrong? She wasn't my sister anymore. Sookie was right, the Nora I had known was gone and now she was only a shadow of her former self.

"Where have you been?" Sookie was sitting on the edge of the bed, still wearing my shirt and worried when she saw walking into the room. "I woke up and you weren't here. I thought…"

"I had to talk to Nora." I said without thinking and I regretted every word out of my mouth when I saw the disappointment in Sookie's eyes. "It's now what you're thinking, but I needed some answers and…"

"I understand."

"I've lost her, Sookie." We locked eyes and for a few seconds no one said anything else.

"You were right when you said you that I couldn't trust Nora. My sister has gone and although I'm still trying to save her – as Godric asked me – I don't think I'm going to get it."

"Eric…" I looked at her expectantly but I could understand that she had no idea what to say. "Sometimes it's difficult to accept the family. The decisions we make are not always the best but I don't believe you're going to change Nora's mind. She's too involved with Salome and Edgington…"

"But Godric asked me to save her!" I exclaimed frustrated.

"Eric…I know you feel lost and unable to think of a solution but you can't take her from here by force." Yeah, I had had the same idea but I dismissed it when I realized it would never work. "Just her will be able to understand this is a lie, just a game, but until she does…"

"I know."

Sookie POV

I was certain that I was gonna die. I knew it, I saw it in his eyes and tried not to think that it was going to be the last time I would see him.

Yes, Eric was going to drink until the last drop of my blood and all I could think about was there would be no further opportunity to be with him. I would not see his beautiful blue eyes, I wouldn't touch his soft and pale skin and didn't kiss his soft and masculine lips.

I wouldn't make love with him again.

It was as if suddenly everything around me was gone, I couldn't think of all those dead people in the room, in all the vampires who were still feeding on humans who were barely alive. What was happening to me? I should be concerned about these people, about myself 'cause I was about to bleed to death by my vampire ex-lover, but I didn't care, I just could think of the sadness inside of me and the empty I would have when I couldn't be with him anymore.

A lonely tear fell off from my eye and I could feel its warmth as it slid down my cheek. It was the time, Eric would sink his fangs into my neck and end up with a lifetime of rarities, bad memories and impossible love.

Yes, at least I would be able to rest in peace. At last.

But none of that happened. I felt no pain, nothing. It was as if everything had completely vanished and although I was afraid to open my eyes 'cause I didn't know what I was going to find, I did.

"Eric…" He was hypnotized looking at something but when I followed his gaze to the same place I could see nothing. I only saw Nora feeding on a woman until she stopped moving and I knew she was dead. "Eric, we have to get out of here." His hands on my body were no longer holding me in place so I could move enough to sit in front of him. "Eric, are you listening to me?" But it was as if he couldn't even see me.

I tried everything, even slapped him, but nothing seemed to work.

"Eric, listen to me!" The other vampires were still too busy eating so they wouldn't be paying attention to me. "Please, I need you to focus, okay?" His eyes were staring at me but I was sure he wasn't hearing a word I said. "We can't stay here, Eric, it's dangerous." But obviously it wouldn't be dangerous for him, just for me. "Eric, when all these people are dead and there is no more blood to feed them…" and I hated myself for what I was about to say. "They're all dead! It doesn't matter 'cause we can't do anything for them, but I have to get out of here before they realize I'm the only one person they could feed from." Nothing, no reaction and I was starting to piss off. "They'll kill me, Eric!"

Suddenly his opened wide and he was staring at me. I prayed for this gesture to really meant that Eric had returned and was understanding my words.

"Eric, please, please…" I couldn't say another word when he grabbed me and we left the bar, but not alone. The rest of the group had followed us 'cause there was not a single drop of blood to drink, nothing.

I thought he would let me go when we were far away enough, or we would go together but what we did was got back with the rest of members of the Authority at the same place we had left.

"Eric, what the fuck are you doing? We gotta go!"

"No, we must go back."

Go back? Was he kidding? I couldn't go back to that place because I was sure they would kill me. I thought Eric had regained his mind but perhaps it was only for a second.

"Eric!" I tried with all my strength to escape but it was useless. "You have to let me go!"

"They will kill you if I do." He whispered between clenched teeth and at least I could breathe relieved knowing that Eric Northman had returned. "Listen," we hid in an alley as he explained me his plan, if he had any. "We can't escape with no more because they'll realize, you understand? Right now I can't think of anything better because I can barely think straight, but you have to trust me."

"Eric, I can't go back to that place with them, they don't know what they're doing, they have no control over themselves and…"

"I won't let them to hurt you, okay?" He seemed so confident that I would love to believe him. "I don't want you to be away from me at any time, okay? Not even when you think we're alone or safe because they might take advantage of any chance."

I wasn't thrilled with the idea of coming back but I couldn't help feeling a little better when the vampires came out of the elevator screaming, dancing and laughing as if they had returned from the best party of their lives. It probably was but I couldn't even look at them 'cause they were still stained with the blood of their victims.

Eric and I were in the room and when I got into the shower I wasn't able to control the tears falling down my face while hot – almost burning – water was falling all over me. It was as if I needed to rub every inch of my body to feel better but I knew it wouldn't work. I hadn't killed anyone, it was true, but still couldn't help feeling guilty for not doing anything about it.

But what could I have done? Stop them?

I stood under the hot water for longer than usual but it was the only place I could be alone and think about what had happened in the last days. When I wasn't kidnapped by vampires I was locked in a cell or otherwise I was witnessing at high vampires killing people in a bar.

I returned to the bedroom and had so many things in my head that I didn't even hear what Eric was saying. I didn't hate him but I was angry, I was pissed off for all had happened and because Eric was so close to kill me.

I knew he wasn't himself, I knew he wasn't able to control but he was doing but that didn't make me to forget what happened.

"I just want to go home," I muttered before falling asleep.

I didn't know how long I had been sleeping but when I woke up I saw that I was alone in the bedroom. The bathroom door was locked so I got out of bed and knocked on it gently but didn't get any reply. If Eric had been inside he would have heard me and even felt me when I woke up so I knew I was alone.

I heard the door opening and saw him walked into the room slowly.

"Where have you been? I woke up and you weren't here. I thought…" But I knew something was up 'cause he barely looked at me as he sat beside me in bed. He told me he had been talking to Nora and although I wanted to say him that she was a heartless bitch who only had used him, I decided to close my mouth.

Eric had to realize that his sister had betrayed him but it wasn't going to be me who said it.

Eric POV

I couldn't stay in the room with Sookie for much longer because Salome had prepared a meeting. The reason? I had no idea but I couldn't care less.

"We are all aware that we can't continue feeding on synthetic blood, not after tasting Lilith's blood and have experienced the true power." I wanted to roll my eyes and say they were just talking about shit but I preferred to know their intentions were. "We must return to what we were and not be intimidated by humans. It was what Lilith wanted."

"Praise her!" Edgington yelled from the other side of the table while was flirting with Newlin. That was pathetic even for Russell.

"Humans have served us as a food source for centuries but synthetic blood changed everything." Nora said and although I didn't want to look at her when I did I saw her eyes fixed on mine. "We were human but we were able to evolve and survive when the world began changing." Evolve? Nora and the other vampires who considered themselves Sanguinistas hadn't evolved at all. They were still behaving like bloodthirsty savages who would be able to exterminate the human race just to satisfy their own instincts. "Drinking Lilith's blood opened our eyes to the world in which we live. We are slaves no longer, we don't hide and humans will have to get used to the fact that we are superior."

Slaves? I didn't like where this conversation was going to but I knew they were too excited since they drank Lilith's blood.

"We'll enslave the humans!" Edgington cried and Newlin following him nodding like a fool.

"Russia." Rosalyn said and we all looked at her waiting for further explanation. "We have allies in Russia and we'd be able to carry out our plans without attracting attention."

"It's a good idea, Rosalyn," Salome said with a smile on her face, "but perhaps we should focus on the United States."

"We will conquer the world," Edgington said when he stopped flirting with Newlin. "Humans are like animals that kill each other for no reason but we…" he said as he rose from his chair and looked at us all. "We will change the world and will turn humans into what they really are." Unfortunately Russell wasn't the only one who had lost his mind as the other seemed to be delighted with his ideas.

"We will return to feed on human blood but we must be careful or we'll end up extinguishing the human race." Nora was on their side completely and I couldn't do anything to convince her otherwise.

"They are all great ideas, Nora," Salome said directly at her, "but we need an excuse to come back to feed on humans. If we don't they will see us as a threat."

"Tru Blood." Bill muttered and I turned my head quickly to look at him.

"Tru Blood?" Salome was waiting for an explanation like the rest of us.

"If we destroy the synthetic blood then there will be no other way for us to feed than humans." The members of the Authority looked at each other with a look of approval on their faces. "There are only five factories around the world that can make the production of synthetic blood. If we destroy them then there will be nothing."

The whispers about Compton's idea followed one after one and when I looked at him I realized I was alone in this.

"What are you doing?" I asked trying to understand what was going through his head.

He smiled slightly and replied as if it were obvious. "Evolving." And took a long sip of his blood in an elegant crystal glass.

This was the new chapter, I love writing my own version.

:D
