I ran into the house and saw Sookie sitting on the couch staring at nothing.
"Sookie." She looked up at me as I said her name and she got up and walked over to me.
"Are you okay?" She asked me as she looked me over.
"I'm fine." And then she threw her arms around me and held on tight.
"I was scared she was going to kill you." She told me as I breathed in her scent and began to relax in her arms.
My internal alarm was warning me to not become attached like I did before but I couldn't help it.
I slowly wrapped my arms around her and I just held her. I didn't want to let her go because I was afraid she would leave again and tell me she didn't want any of this for herself.
She stayed in my arms for a little bit and then finally backed away from me.
"Where did they take you?" I asked her and she knew I was referring to the fae.
"Some place where they protect people in my situation, but I don't believe them. They said I could become human…" She whispered the last part and I was nothing short of shocked.
"Are you considering it?" I asked her.
"Maybe."
"Why, why would you want to be like them? You aren't like them, you're better." I told her.
"You don't know how it was like for me. They tortured me, the girls beat me, and the boys called me things, things kids shouldn't say to other kids. The only reason that I survived my childhood was because of Jason." I saw a tear fall from her eyes.
"If I knew you then I wouldn't have let those kids touch you or say such things." I meant it; if I was there I would have been her protector.
"I wish you were there." She said.
"Don't give up what makes you special. At sometimes it seems like a burden and I understand your hardships over it but don't give it up. You can make it a useful ally you know." I told her and she smiled.
"That's what they told me."
Then it hit me that I never had heard of such a thing. I tried thinking of the fae knowledge that I knew and it was strange, I had never heard of someone with fae blood using up their powers. When I was alone I would do some research on it because something seemed strange about the whole situation.
I chose not to worry her with such thinking and I decided to change the subject.
"I wish you didn't have to witness what happened in the bar." I told her and she nodded.
"Who was that?"
"Lilith."
"Really, like the Lilith?" She asked me as her eyes widened and I nodded.
"Looks like there are still things that can even shock me."
"Well yeah, I've only heard about her but I know she isn't something to be messed with." Her religious background was showing.
"She is a very interesting person."
"She's a demon Eric."
"Actually she's a vampire, the first one." Sookie gasped.
"Holy shit." She scoffed and sat back down.
"Yeah." I took a seat across from her and she shook her head.
"What's going to happen now?" She asked me and I shrugged.
"I don't know, but I lost my sister to her." I thought of Nora and my heart sank.
"She killed her?"
"No, she became one of her followers which I will assume more will follow." I told her and then there was a knock at the door.
I gave her a sign to stay there while I went and opened the door.
When I opened the door Bill was there and his shirt was covered in blood.
"What happened to you?" I asked with very little interest in my voice.
"Lilith she made me….I had to feed." He told me and now I was curious.
"She made you feed?"
"Can I come in?" He asked ignoring me.
I stepped aside and he walked in and looked over to Sookie.
"Sookie I am so sorry." He said as she stood up to greet him and I went to sit back down.
"Why are you sorry?" She asked and then I saw it click in her head.
"You glamoured me?"
"Yes." She walked over to him and slapped him across the face.
"How dare you!"
I smiled as I saw it was Bill for once being slapped by Sookie and not me.
"You weren't supposed to be glamoured; you were supposed to be immune."
"Well you weren't supposed to try!"
"I barely did!"
They were both yelling at each other like children and I decided to stop it.
"It's done, no use going back. Now let's move on and fix it." I told them and Sookie sat back down and put her head in her hands.
"I agree." Bill said.
Bill gave me a look and I knew he needed to speak with me alone.
I got up and Sookie's head shot back up.
"Where are you going?" She asked me.
"Outside for a second, I'll be right back." I smiled and left with Bill.
"She seems to really like you." Bill said bitterly as we walked outside.
"Jealousy does not become you Bill."
"Yeah well the good act doesn't become you as well."
"I'm not putting on an act; in fact she likes me for me which is a hell of a lot more than I can say about you." I remembered that when Bill first came to town he was sent for Sookie.
"Fuck you." He growled.
"Did we really just come here to talk about Sookie?"
"No, Dieter is dead."
"How?"
I was shocked that he was dead, but who did it?
"Lilith came with Salome, Nora, and Russell."
"Did they kill anyone else?"
"No, but the Authority is being run by Lilith now and Russell is a chancellor."
"Why did Dieter die?"
"He thought it was blasphemy, all of it and was not convinced Lilith was the real deal and she showed him."
I was at a loss for words. How were we going to take down the Authority?
"How did you find this out?"
"Let's just say I made friends quickly." What?
I looked up at Bill and his fangs were fully extended as he jumped me.
Was he really serious thinking he could take me down?
I threw him across from me and he hit a tree with a loud thud, cracking it a bit.
"I am much older than you and therefore much more powerful." I told him and he laughed.
"You're older than me but not her." He pointed across from me and I saw Salome there.
"Hiding behind a woman, how typical." She growled as she jumped on me.
She flung me to the ground and held me there as she wrapped sliver around my hands.
"We do not want to hurt you; we want you to join us." She told me as she produced a flask of blood.
"What's that?" I asked her through clenched teeth.
"Lilith's blood, hopefully you will now see what Mr. Compton does. There is no use fighting her, she just wants your support and she wants to help you." She smiled at me before a blast of light hit her and she flew off of me.
"Back the fuck off bitch!" Sookie stood there, her hands still glowing.
"Sookie get out of here!" I told her.
"Sookie this does not concern you." Bill said and I growled at him.
He had no right to speak to her that traitor.
She turned to him and blasted him as well.
She ran over to me and took the silver off and I grabbed the flask that was next to me that fell out of Salome's hand.
"Tell Lilith that her and her blood can go fuck themselves!" I yelled at her as I dropped the blood and stepped on it.
"No!" Salome screamed as she ran for me but Sookie blasted her again.
"We have to get out of here."
She grabbed my hand and headed back to the house but I stopped her.
"It won't be safe, I own the house." I told her and she gave me a confused glance but I just ignored her and grabbed her.
I took up to the air and just headed to wherever was far enough from her place.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"Anywhere, do you know any friends who would take you in?"
"Jason but…" I ignored her protest and I knew I had to get her out of here now.
We landed in front of her brother's place and I ran us over to his door and knocked hoping he was there.
"Coming." He said as Jason opened the door.
"Sook, Eric?" He looked at us both but I handed him Sookie.
"Invite me in, now."
"Come in." I rushed in and shut the door.
I grabbed Jason and looked him in the eyes.
"You will not invite anyone else into this house that isn't me or your sister, human or otherwise. In fact you won't even answer the door. Is this understood?" He nodded as I glamoured him.
"Why did you do that?"
"To protect you."
"But he would have done it." She said and I sighed.
"But a vampire could have just glamoured him but this makes sure he can't be glamoured by them." I told her.
"Is Bill one of them?" She asked me.
"It appears so." But how?
"What are we going to do?" She asked me and I honestly didn't know.
"We'll figure it out."
I wasn't sure what we were going to do but I needed to make sure Pam was okay and that she got herself and Tara out of here.
I took out my phone but I saw it was crushed.
"Fuck!" I threw the phone parts away from me.
I could sense Sookie's fear and I tried to calm myself down.
"Jason, could you please give us a second?" Sookie asked her brother and he nodded.
"Yeah, I'm going to go to bed. You be careful sis, and if I hear one thing funny I'm coming back with a nice shiny stake for you." He told me and I glared at him as he left.
"You can use my phone." She handed me her phone and I took it.
"Thank you." I felt childish for losing my temper like that but I was just so lost with all of this.
I sent a text to Pam warning her and telling her to find a safe place and close down the business for a little while.
I took a deep breath as Sookie came up next to me.
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall." She said and I turned to look her in the eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Lilith, she is building up her defenses, but so can we. Everyone has a weakness, even someone like Lilith." And she was right, Lilith was taken down before.
But how was I supposed to do it.
"We need allies." I told her and she nodded.
"We have wolves and maybe fae." She said and her eyes lit up.
"The fae, are you sure about that?" I asked her.
"They may be our best shot, I can ask them."
I thought of the thing she said earlier about losing her powers and I had a feeling the fae weren't exactly on our side.
"Sookie did you ever consider the fae were lying about your powers. I do not know if they can be trusted with this."
"Why would they lie about this though?"
"So you would join them, I don't know but I have never heard of someone with fae blood lose their powers, in fact I have heard of them growing…" They want her to be stronger.
"They want my powers to grow don't they?" She asked.
"Yes and they are preying on your weakness to become human for it to happen." She looked away from me.
"I thought I could be human." She whispered.
"I'm sorry, but if you become stronger than no one can take you down." I told her.
She laughed, "The taller they are the harder they fall Eric." I smiled.
"I'll still ask the fae to help, they lied and I'm not sure what else they lied about but they are useful." She told me and I nodded.
I could feel the pull of the sun coming and I sighed.
"I'm going to have to go dig myself a grave for the day." I wasn't sure if this was foreshadowing anything or just ironic?
"Okay." I gave her one last look and headed towards the door.
"Eric." I turned to Sookie who walked up to me and got on her tiptoes and kissed me.
It was a slow, yet quick kiss and she backed away from me.
"Goodnight." I smiled as I left and went out to dig myself a place to stay for the day close to the house.
Even after everything, she still had a power over me.
Fuck it, I didn't even care.
