Chapter 7
Good vs. Evil
Rebecca, Eric, Pam, Bill and Jessica stood outside of Moon Goddess where Sookie was being held captive.
The vampires had brought automatic weapons to raid the shop. Rebecca didn't need those kinds of weapons.
"I'm so sick of silvering myself, every day, and I'm pissed off all the time. This is what PMS felt like all the time," Jessica said.
"After tonight, hopefully that won't be a problem anymore," Rebecca said.
"Our objective is to kill the witch and finish this one way or another. But we finish this tonight, are we clear?" Bill asked.
"Utterly. Can we blow up these Wiccan dip-shits already? I've got a mani-pedi at four," Pam said.
"Yes King, who is not my King," Rebecca said sarcastically.
Ignoring their comments, "Eric, watch the back."
"Wait! Wait!"
"Who's that?"
"Jason. Sookie's brother," Jessica answered Rebecca's question.
Jason came running up to them, "Stop! You can't blow this place up, Sookie is in there."
"We know. That's why we brought the witch," Eric said not looking at Rebecca directly.
"Another one? Don't we have enough trouble with the ones in there?" Jason asked.
"Watch yourself," Pam warned, "She could turn you into a toad."
"She could get Sookie out? Get her out safely?" Jason asked.
"That's why I'm here to try," she said.
"Just so you know Marnie put a spell on the whole place. Watch this," Jason said as he threw his knife at some kind of force field.
"Wonderful," Rebecca signed.
"What is it?" Jessica asked.
"It's a force field made up of sun rays. Good luck to you vamps who want to get in there. I don't you guys to stay out of this," Rebecca said.
"Can't you get through it?" Bill asked.
"Yes, put I wasn't prepared for this," holding out the necklace, "This talisman was to stop Marnie, not to get through all her defensives."
"Can you do it?" Eric asked.
Rebecca looked at him, "Yes," she stepped foreword, "Everyone stand back. Once we are through only the vamps and me go in. Jason you are going to have to stay out here."
"I understand."
She held up the talisman to the force field. The field and the talisman collided and Rebecca skidded back, "Fucking-A!"
She stepped back up again. This time the force field faltered, "Hurry!"
She and the vampires got inside the force field before it came back up again.
"How are we going to get out?" Jessica asked.
"Once Marnie is taken care of, all her spells will be reversed," Rebecca said.
"Thank God," Pam said.
"Pam, you don't believe in Him," Eric said.
"Focus," Bill warned.
"There is something else happening," Rebecca said sensing something.
"What?" Pam asked.
"Other magic. Also dark."
They all could hear screams coming from inside.
Eric and Bill yelled, "Sookie!"
Jessica and Pam took the back of the shop, while Rebecca, Eric and Bill entered in the front as planned.
Eric and Bill stepped through the door way where they can see Sookie in a ring of fire, and the other witches were scattered among the room.
"Two vampires has come to save you," Marine said to Sookie, "Put the have come alone. I thought this one," referring to Eric, "Would have learned his lesson from last time."
"Oh, I did witch," Eric said calmly.
Rebecca walked in between Eric and Bill to take center stage.
"Another witch?" Marnie asked.
Marnie looked like she was talking to herself.
"Not just any witch, bitch," Rebecca said and held up the talisman.
The ring of fire grew higher around Sookie.
"You honestly like that going to stop me from destroying you…I don't even like her that much," Rebecca said.
"Then why help her?" Marnie asked.
"Because it doesn't matter what I think," Rebecca said taking another stab.
A guy with a pony tail stood in between them.
Rebecca tossed him across the room, "Dude, leave this to the big witches."
Marnie did something to cause Rebecca to falter a little.
"Do you know who you are messing with, little girl?" Marnie asked.
Rebecca faltered again and her nose began to bleed.
"Antonia is very powerful," Marnie continued.
"Yeah, I know. But she is also supposed to be dead," Rebecca caused Marnie to fall down.
"The force field is down. Get them out," Rebecca said.
"What about Sookie?" Bill asked.
"That's still going to take some time."
They did what they were told.
Marnie got back up, "Antonia is very disappointed in you. She would have figured you would have joined the cause. Considering what that one did you," Marnie said referring to Eric, "You could have been her vessel."
"Not one person should have all that power. It's against the laws."
"Laws are so over rated."
"You would rather be used," Rebecca said.
"You were used for your body," Marnie said.
Rebecca stepped forward and punched her in the face. Marnie fell down to the floor hard.
"I'd like to speak to Antonia," Rebecca said standing over Marnie.
Marnie looked up with a ghostly look on her face. Her eyes were white as snow.
"I am Antonia," Marnie's body got up.
Rebecca punched Marnie in the face again and then pulled hard to release the talisman from her neck. Rebecca then shoved the talisman into Marnie's face.
Rebecca spoke a few words in another language. Marnie was stunned for a few seconds. The ring of fire blew out and Sookie was able to get out.
"Rebecca?" Sookie cried.
"Go," Rebecca choked out, "Get out!"
Sookie ran out of the Moon Goddess and didn't look back.
Marnie and Rebecca fell onto their backs at the same time.
The lights in the building went out, leaving the two of them in the darkness.
A ghostly image floated out of Marnie's body and into Rebecca's.
Once the ghostly image was in the new host, Rebecca began to move around on the floor as if she were having a seizure.
Rebecca held the spirit of Antonia inside of her as she spoke the final words of the spell she started earlier.
The ghostly image appeared above Rebecca as it did above Marnie, but this time the ghostly image dissolved into mist.
Rebecca laid there unconscious as the lights to the shop came back on lightly the room once more.
Eric appeared next to Rebecca, "Rebecca?" he whispered.
She didn't respond, "Wake up!" he said louder.
He could hear her heart beat but just faintly.
He then bit into his wrist like he did years ago and put the open wound to her mouth.
"Wake up, Rebecca," he whispered as he held her body in his arms, "I need you."
Bill stood at the door way watching.
He remembered a conversation he had with Rebecca before they left.
Flash back
"Is this going to work?" Bill asked.
Rebecca looked at him, "Yeah, it's going to work. Where is everyone?"
"Jessica went out to feed. Pam is getting weapons. Eric is else where," he answered.
"That just leaves you and me."
"This magic is strong?" Bill asked.
"Yes."
"Could you die? From doing this magic?"
Rebecca didn't look at him when she answered.
"Yes."
