Here's the new chapter.

I really hope you like this new one 'cause it was hard to write. I don't like the new season, I believe Alan Ball is destroying the tv show but unfortunately we can't do anything against it.

Well, this is my own version of the chapter, hope it's okay.

Thanks for reading.

:D

Eric POV

"How long will we have to stay here? They think you are on their side now, doesn't that mean anything?" Sookie was sitting on the couch in the room but I knew she was desperate. "Russell left, and the others are too busy with those ridiculous plans to destroy synthetic blood. Maybe we could sneak out and…"

"And what? Do you think they wouldn't find us?" I snapped and felt like a jerk because it wasn't Sookie's fault that I was frustrated. "Listen, things are never that simple, you understand? We can't just walk out the door as if nothing was happening, it's not an option for us to escape. Not now." I had to think of what was going on, what Russell's disappearance meant to the Authority. "I'll find a way out of here, I promise you, Sookie, but now is not the time."

The bedroom door suddenly opened and Nora walked into without saying a word.

"Nora? What are you doing here?"

I knew Sookie wasn't glad to see her, I wasn't either, but she seemed different. Something had changed in her.

"Nora, what's going on?"

"Forgive me. Please, forgive me." She hugged me tightly and I could feel both bonds in my blood but only jealousy was coming from Sookie. "Forgive me. Forgive me." She kept hugging me but I pulled away from her and got back next to Sookie. "What are we going to do?"

"We'll get out of here." I said no more and I was determined to keep my promise.

I still had no clear the plan to escape but with Nora on my side – or at least that was what I wanted to believe – proofed that we were beginning to have a chance to get out of this madness.

When Nora left to prepare herself for the meeting with General Cavanaugh, Sookie and I stayed alone but neither of us seemed to be willing to be the first one to break the silence.

It was uncomfortable, especially after my meeting with Nora, but I knew my feelings for her were pretty different from those I had for Sookie. Nora was my sister, my blood, together we were all that remained of Godric and I had to save her for him.

"I won't stand." She muttered suddenly and I looked confused. What was she talking about? "Between you and Nora." She added, raising her voice. I could feel fear, jealousy and disappointment. "When we get out of here and back to Bon Temps, to my normal life, I won't stand between you and Nora."

"Sookie, what are you talking about?" I sat down next to Sookie on the bed and cupped her cheek. "I don't know why you're saying all this but I assure you that you're completely wrong."

"Wrong?" She asked and was then when I felt the warmth of her tears sliding down her cheek and onto my hand. "Eric, I saw her eyes, I saw the way she was looking at you. She loves you and you love her."

"Like a sister, Sookie. She is my sister." I didn't see it otherwise. "I'll get Nora out of here because I made a promise to Godric but she will leave to another place, she'll keep with her life and I won't see her in a long time." I wiped her tears with my thumb and kissed her gently. "There is nothing to fear, my little fairy."

General Cavanaugh was nervous. I could feel it in his blood. Maybe he was a decorated soldier but being in a room full of vampires was not exactly what he would have thought he'd do during his military career.

Salome welcomed him while the rest of us stood, but he was not in the mood for an informal chat.

"No time for formalities, Chancellor. Where is Roman?" Things had changed since Roman was killed and I'd bet anything that the General hadn't the slightest idea.

"He couldn't be with us today," Compton said quickly.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"This is Chancellor Compton. He's new."

"I don't give a shit. I want to speak to the Guardian."

Things began to get tense, I knew sooner or later one of us would end up confessing that Roman was dead.

"I know you all were responsible for the bombings in Tru Blood factories."

"They were terrorists." Rosalyn replied as if it was obvious.

"Don't fuck me, Rosalyn! We're both fucking liars so don't take me for a fool." I had to admit that Cavanaugh was brave to face us as he was doing it. "Do you think we haven't noticed what's going on?" He looked at each and every one of us. "Roman was the only one able to contain all this. He tried to turn the world into a place where vampires and humans could live together."

"Well, things have changed, I'm afraid." Compton said, rising from his chair as if he were the fucking owner of the situation. If I had the chance I would have killed him right there. "Now we have found the way to the truth, to what we really are and we won't change our mind. Join us."

"Roman is dead." Kibwe cut off. "He disobeyed Lilith's beliefs, he attempted to create a nonexistent world and the true death was his reward."

"The path is clear," Compton said. "You can join us or not. I sincerely hope you do."

I knew Cavanaugh wouldn't let to be persuaded by Compton, nobody in their right mind would.

Cavanaugh took an external memory out of his pocket and held it in his hand. "We have a video. In it we can watch Russell Edgington and Steve Newlin dancing in a college residence, surrounded by the bodies of twenty-two students they killed and drank their blood." He looked at all of us while Salome and Compton bowed their heads trying to think of a solution. "We have copies. It's a warning. If something happens to me all in this video will be public. Roman assured the world that Russell Edgington was dead but it was a lie. If the human race watches these images they will rise against vampires."

"Your threats are empty, General." Nora replied.

"Are you really that stupid?" He turned his gaze to Nora and smiled slightly. "We are prepared. We have weapons capable of killing vampires. Weapons you don't know about. Vampires have no fucking chance against humans." He paused and continued talking. "Right now there is only one person between us to be able to avoid a war between vampires and humans. And that person is me."

"Think carefully about what you will say next."

Neither of us said a word but the tension could be cut with a knife.

"That's what I thought."

I got up quickly and at vampire speed I was in front of him before he could get out.

"Oh God…" Cavanaugh muttered.

"God is a vampire." If I had to pretend in front of them all to keep trusting me then I would. I grabbed him by his throat and broke his neck before he could know what was happening.

"Oh…" Rosalyn muttered.

"You're a fucking idiot," Salome hissed at me. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Do you have any idea what you've done?" Kibwe asked.

"He was a jerk." I answered no more.

"I'm glad he did," Rosalyn added. I wasn't surprised she agreed with what had happened. "I couldn't stand this guy."

"They have guns," Kibwe yelled silencing Rosalyn. "We are vulnerable now."

The discussion between Kibwe and Rosalyn could have lasted all night but Compton decided to interrupt. If he had a plan none of us knew it but what I was sure of was that I wouldn't trust him. "We are forgetting the most important thing."

"Listen!" I yelled and everyone fell silent. I loved having power over them. "I admit it, maybe I've been a bit impulsive, but I can fix it. I will keep appearing on TV to convince humans, I'll take care of all humans who have seen this video to forget about it. It'll be as if nothing had happened."

"Yes, I know General's chief." Nora said. "If we hurry we can fix all this."

"Alright. Take the jet of the AVL and let me know when it's done."

"Sookie will come with me." I said no more and Salome nodded but Nora and I were stopped by Compton before we could leave the room.

"Take escort. You'll need reinforcements." He said quietly but I knew he didn't trust us.

"Of course." And I left.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Did you kill that man?" Sookie asked when I returned to the room to pick her up and everything necessary. "Eric, he was a soldier! Are you completely insane? These people will kill you, when that video comes public humans will go after you all."

"Not if we can fix it, besides Nora will handle that because we leave."

"Leave? Where?"

We were in a car before I could explain her anything else. The three of us, Nora, Sookie and I were in the back seat of a car while we were driven by two guards of the Authority to where we would get into the plane.

I looked at Sookie and then at Nora and she looked at me for a second and back to the front. We were listening to the radio news about the bombings in Tru Blood factories but none of us was paying attention. We had a plan and at least we got out of the cave where we had been locked.

I grabbed Sookie's hand and gave it a squeeze for her to be ready.

The car stopped at a red light.

"Could you change the channel? I'm tired of hearing the same all the time." I asked and they looked at each other before nodding. I leaned forward to reach the radio and that was when I was grabbed the wheel and killed them both before they could realize.

"Oh my gosh!" Sookie screamed when the whole car was filled with blood.

"Come on," I got out of the car and Nora did the same but Sookie sat there motionless. "Sookie, we gotta go." She didn't move a muscle. She was probably in shock but we didn't have time for this. I approached her while Nora moved away to give us privacy and put both of my hands on either side of her face. "Sweetheart, listen to me." She looked into my eyes but I wasn't sure if she was understanding a word. "I know this is too much for you, I know, but right now we don't have time and staying here is a risk, do you understand?"

"Yeah, Eric." I was going to get her out of the car but she closed her eyes and breathed deeply. "Can I have a moment, please?" I nodded and walked away to where Nora was.

"They will come after us," she said as I leaned against the car. I looked at her and the first thing I saw was her tearing the Authority pendant off her neck and throwing it to the ground.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw her face, knowing my sister had come back. I had fulfilled the promise I made to Godric. I went back to the car to get Sookie out but she was already out.

"We will need another car." She muttered smiling slightly but I just held her against my body and Nora and I launched ourselves into the sky.

We didn't know what was going to happen, we had a mission, to find Edgington and Newlin and destroy the remaining members of the Authority before a cruel and bloody war broke out between humans and vampires.


Sookie POV

When I finally got to catch my breath and my heart was beating at normal rhythm I was able to speak.

"Eric, where are we?"

"Safe. For the moment." Nora replied. I didn't know why she was still with us but I decided to keep quiet and forget the issue. For the moment. "Eric, I don't think we can stay here for a long time, we should seek a safer place."

The truth was that I had no idea where we were but at least Eric and I had gotten out from that horrible place.

When Eric told me what had happened at the meting and he had to kill a military man I was pissed, but not at him. I knew he had just done it to get a chance and it maybe made me a bad person to think selfishly but I couldn't help it. If I had to choose between that man and me, I would definitely choose to stay alive.

"Are you okay?" Nora had disappeared, or at least I couldn't see her, and Eric and I were hiding in the trees.

"Yeah." I lied. We already had enough problems so I didn't want to add any more. "Where's Nora?"

"Watching."

"Where are we, Eric?" Eric looked around and shrugged. "We left New Orleans but I'm not sure where we are now. The important thing is that we have escaped."

"But Bill and the rest of them will be looking for us."

"Not yet."

This was becoming very frustrating 'cause I knew sooner or later they'd begin looking for us and as Eric told me Bill seemed to have lost his head completely by Lilith. A vampire god, how could they believe in that madness? Eric thought she was real but then realized that it was just a hallucination created by that blood.

"Sookie, what it matters now is that we have advantage. Bill, Salome and the others still believe that we are on our way to the plane and they haven't found the car with the rest of the guards yet." God, I would rather forget that part. I didn't know how Eric got rid of both of them and fill the whole front of the car with blood and guts. "Are you still with me?"

"Yeah," I answered quickly, trying to eliminate the unpleasant image of my head. "I'm just trying to understand. How is possible that Bill has lost his mind in this way? Something had to happen to him, don't you think?" I didn't want Eric to think I was worried about Bill because things had changed and got worse between us to the point where I no longer believed I could trust him ever again.

"I'm not worried for him, Eric," I added quickly to avoid any confusion, "but I need answers. Why does he seem so affected and you don't? Even Nora seems to have regained her sanity." If she ever had it, I muttered to myself. "What is in that blood?"

"Not sure, but we shouldn't worry about that now." He walked towards me until we were face to face. Or rather chest to face. "Sookie, things are going to get very ugly, you understand?" I nodded slowly. "Russell and Newlin are still missing and causing chaos. They have killed more than twenty students in a college residence," and suddenly my stomach seemed to be completely reversed. "If this situation continues the humans will begin to organize to exterminate all vampires they can find." Of course that included Eric Northman and Bill Compton. "But there's something else."

"What? What might be worse?" I asked chuckling although the subject had no hint of fun.

"Russell Edgington is completely insane and has dragged Newlin into this madness." He said no more.

"That's not anything new, Eric." I didn't know if he was trying to say something else but my spider sense was not cooperating with me. "There's more, right? Those two are not only killing for pleasure, they have something else in hand."

"Edgington is looking fairy blood, Sookie. He doesn't care what he has to do to get it and will haunt you and your brother. He will use any method to find a fairy."

"Fuck me!" I yelled and didn't give a shit who might be listening. "Are you serious? Will he really be able to go after Jason? Jason's not a fairy, he's fully human, why would he chase him?"

"To reach you, Sookie." Eric snapped as if it were obvious. It wasn't for me because I could barely focus for a couple of minutes to realize the situation we were in. "Sookie, Edgington doesn't care Jason is human, for him he's only a way to make you go to help your brother." I knew Edgington was obsessed with finding a fairy, to drink fairy blood would make him to walk in daylight, but that would only mean more deaths.

"Sookie, if Russell Edgington finds a way to walk under the sun he will virtually unstoppable." Unstoppable, which meant that none of us would be safe, even in daylight.

"So what do we do? We can't stand idly by, Eric. At least I won't." And I believed to face him. I would probably die if I did alone or with Jason's help, but if Eric really wanted to end Russell once and for all I would be on his side.

"You got a plan?" I asked looking into his eyes and praying that he had one.

"I've been planning this since Edgington killed my whole family. I would take the justice I deserve and will finish Russell Edgington, Steve Newlin and any other one that comes between us, Sookie." There was so much determination in his voice that I felt stronger to face a lunatic vampire.

"Okay, let's do this." But just then Eric winced and I didn't know what was happening. Eric, what is it? Tell me, are you hurt?"

"No…" He mumbled but was still wincing and I couldn't understand why. "Eric, please, what's going on?"

"Pam…"

I didn't know what he meant, I looked around trying to find Nora but Eric collapsed and I knew something bad, pretty bad was happening.

"Eric, please tell me something."

"I have to save her." Just then Nora came and knelt next to Eric. "We will, brother. We will."


Well, I wasn't completely convinced of this chapter but I really hope you like it.
