Translator's note: I know I promised a chapter per day but on Saturday and Sunday I couldn't upload anything so I will try to post the three chapters today.

Chapter 31

He kicked a head and whitewashed it to Fangtasia's ceiling.

"It's a goal!" he announced. He picked up the phone, his mouth full of blood, and called Bill to request him and Bubba to have their eyes open and look after Sookie. Then he called Alcide, the shifter and witches, he called everyone. He guessed that Victor had been successful and had killed Felipe and supposed that he will be the following. But he wouldn't make it easy for that stupid.

He had a lot of friends: human and supernatural beings. There were two hours before dawn and he didn't think Victor would had time to organize another attack. But he had time to prepare his defense and to prepare a counter attack the next day. Victor wasn't going to be like Felipe, he didn't think he could convince Victor to keep him in the sheriff position, because Victor hated and feared him, and he did well.

"Pam, hide well tonight. I don't want to risk something happening to you. I'm flying to Bon Temps to see Sookie."

"Do you think it's a good idea?"

"Of course it is" and he fly from there. He knew she was ok, and that allowed him to go talk to the shifter and ask him to come to Sookie's house before dawn. He didn't want to leave her unprotected not even for twenty seconds. Flying over the driveway of Sookie's house he saw Bubba patrolling.

"Keep your eyes open, Bubba."

"Yes, sir."

"Sookie could be in danger."

"Bubba will take care of Miss Sookie, sir."

"All right. Bubba, do not trust any vampire, you can only trust Bill, Pam and me" He continued flying and went into Sookie's room through the window. Bill opened it for him "It's hot in here."

"But she is very cold" he answered, and Eric check her, he was right. She has cheeks and thighs icy "Have you spoken with the elf?"

"Nothing, we are stuck. We know it is a fairy spell, but otherwise, nothing. No explanation for these things... the cold, the smells. I wonder if she dreams..."

"Maybe. She is fine. I can feel it in my blood. I don't know what kind of spell keeps her like this, but sometimes she is glad, almost always; though others, she's scared, angry, and sometimes feels extremely happy" Eric didn't tell him that from a time now, she even gotten sexually aroused, and that was driving him crazy. But he still was getting waves of love on her part "I'll bring you back" he whispered her placing a rebellious lock behind her ear "We must find a safe place to sleep."

"You can do it at my home."

"Victor is smart. I'm not convinced that we will be safe. No, we better look somewhere else, I think..." Bill and he turned swiftly towards Sookie. Eric uncorked surprise. He held her hand, bleeding, for a clean cut across her palm.

"She didn't have that before" the southern apologized.

"I know" He took her hand to his mouth and licked the wound "What are they doing to you?" he whispered. He and Bill decided to spend the day at different points near Sookie's house, but hidden enough so Victor day men couldn't find them even if they tried.

He called Pam as soon as he opened his eyes, he had not yet emerged from underground. His progeny was fine. He scratched the earth layer, moist and soft, making his way toward the surface. He came out covered with humus, sniffed the air and tried to discover who had wandered during the day near Sookie's house.

He rummaged through his hair and managed to pull out the worm that had become entangled in his hair and tickled his scalp. Suddenly, he felt good and knew it was going to be a good night after all.

He sprinted across the field and reached the battered home of his wife, no less than twenty supernatural creatures, including shifters, werewolves and panthers, waited him in the doorway. There was also the witch Sookie's friend, who had come with a small coven.

"Hey, Sheriff!" Amelia came to greet him and Pam "You now have all of us here and now?

"Now nothing. You're friends with Sookie and just for that I intend you to help me, for the good of all, but won't force you. Victor is coming tonight, I don't think he will take more than an hour to get here, and he will come to kill me, my progeny and all the vampires in my area; He can even try to end my allies."

"That's why we are here" Alcide defended.

"Witches are no match for the vampires and creatures coming, but I hope you'll keep Sookie, helpless as she is, safe."

"No problem."

"And we know some other spell that can hurt vampires, very badly" said another witch.

"Now, unfortunately, it doesn't distinguish between our side and the other, that is, that doesn't help us at all. We'll get to keep Sookie safe" Amelia said, and came into Sookie's house.

"Stackhouse, did you bring me what I asked?"

"Here is it" Jason handed Eric a sports bag from Adidas. Eric unzipped and began to divide weapons: he hid a knife in his pants, laid an ax in his back and grabbed a sword that was almost as tall as Pam. He armed his creature and Jason gave him a hunting rifle loaded Beretta silver bullets and other things of that material "try not to err and use it on me or Pam" shifter, wolves, witches and vampires took positions: in the woods, on the road, inside the house and around it.

A few minutes later he heard the first skirmish indices on the road, howls and roars in the distance. The first vampires reached them smashed on Sookie's porch when they landed.

Sooner than it takes to say "jugular" Pam had jumped over a black vampire and she had slashed her throat, not deep enough to kill her on the spot, but enough to let knock out. She would definitely be dead in a few minutes. Pam always seemed to thrill to give the starting signal for a good fight. There were no less than four outsider vampires of each one of his area, and it looked like Alcide was containing them well on the road, but they kept coming in from other directions. But despite the difference in the number, he hadn't forgotten how to use the ax and sword.

He tried to take flight to find Victor, who he had glanced at the top of a tree on one occasion and another high above it to him and Pam, without getting into a fight, just watching and waiting in the rear, like a marshal... or as the coward he was.

He wrenched an arm by the roots to a vampire, and licked from his lips drops of blood that had splashed. He was about rip off another member on an enemy when another bloodsucker grabbed his arm and stopped him, he let go of the first, turned around and landed a brutal punch to the second, but the vampire that had been released jumped on him. He sought help from someone in your area, but realized that there were no more than three of them on their feet. He pulled out the dagger from his boot between struggles, slipped out of his rival´s arm as a Greco-Roman wrestler and ripped theirs heads off, first to one, then another, with the small but lethal weapon.

Pam saw break his neck and him a vampire and stay lying down, unable on the floor.

"Damn English whore."

"You insult as bad as you fight" Pam laughed, waited the attack of another vampire and got into a new fight one on one. Eric followed his own. He retrieved his ax from the ground and struck him a mortal blow to the back of an Amerindian vampire. He charged another vampire and clear it blew several teeth and a tusk. He smiled. It wasn't going so bad.

"Northman! Eh, Northman!" he turned and saw Victor with his boot's silver heel on Pam's throat, who was lying on the ground. Madden grinning while Pam squirmed.

Three vampires held him by the arms and subjected with a pair of silver chains rolled to his neck. Pam tried to take traitor Maddens foot off her, despite the silver, but he hit her in the forehead with the heel and left her dizzy, which was fortunate, because after he tore her an ear with a knife. She screamed.

"Pamela..."

"You've fallen" Madden told "but you'll see your progeny die first" he showed him a cane with a gold shaped like a horse head handle "But I won't kill your sleeping beauty, I will wait for her to wake up, and I'll keep her" He raised his cane and raced down.

"No!" Eric shouted. Pam opened her eyes and just when the wood touched her skin a shot was heard and then two screams.

Wood crossed Pam's chest, who gurgled blood, cleft stick in her right lung. Victor felt pain in the liver, where the silver bullet had hit him.

"Forget about my sister, asshole" Jason reloaded the gun, but a vampire jumped on him, they struggled and the vampire snatched the gun, throwing it away. Jason got into his own fight and Eric tried to seize the moment, but they were holding him very well.

Both Victor and Pam vomited blood. At that time, a vampire, came out of nowhere, he wasn't from his area or his kingdom but he intervened in the fight in Jason's, Sookie's brother, favor.

"But what?" One of the vampires who were holding him let him to go into fight with the newcomer. Eric took the commotion, he gathered strength from where none existed and got off the chains of his neck, leaving the skin with them.

The picked up them with bare hands, burning, and throw them to get one of the vampires who had retained him. He picked up the ax from the ground and struck as he could to the other enemy, a brutal ax blow to the knee, which caused him to fall.

He ran to Victor, who was recovering because the bullet had come in and out and pulled out from his leather jacket a stake, a splintered stake and stained with dried blood. He rose and plunged it into his chest.

"Don't chat with who you have to kill" the Viking said, while the traitor got his eyes white and life definitely abandoned him. He looked into his eyes even when he could no longer see him. "Pam" He kneeled down next to her and pulled the wooden cane with care "Take my blood."

"Wouldn't it be better if she drink mine?" Jason asked. Eric suddenly realized Sookie's brother was holding his shotgun over his shoulder and Madden vampires, though outnumbered, were now tame and quiet, beheaded after the death of their leader "Sorry, Jason" He took the Beretta, and bit him on the neck. Only took a couple of sips and then left him with Pam. He got up and looked at the newcomers with a mouthful of blood.

"Sheriff."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Gaspar. And I belong to the area four of Kansas Kingdom."

"And why is the kingdom of Kansas here today?"

"My King asked us to come and help the Viking Sheriff of Louisiana Kingdom."

"Very altruistic. And the real reason?"

"That, I'm afraid I cannot answer it. We were ordered to come and help you first and then take you with us."

"You have to come with us. Those are the orders" another vampire said.

"And who are you?"

"My name is Rachel"

"We are not your enemies, that's for now, what is defending our king."

"Lucky me" he said ironically "I guess I have no choice. I see you are more than us" Eric saw that without the extra help they would have lost everything, and although there were some vampires of his area, Victor's vampires were more, and newcomers, furthermore "I need to settle something. I suppose your king will not oppose to me ending with the traitors?" he asked, knowing that he couldn't refuse to go with them.

"We have orders to cause the least damage to our own kind."

"What does that mean?" he asked the vampire "These vampires have conspired against two kings" the lady vampire looked at Gaspar.

"It will be dawn soon" said the vampire "I have seen that there is a cemetery on the right. We will hide them from sunlight underground, chained with silver, so they cannot recovered or get up until a decision is made with cold mind regarding their definitive death." Eric looked at him and raised his head proudly. He didn't know anything about Gaspar, but seemed to be talking to someone of great wisdom, was he a young vampire or not. He returned with Pam and gave Jason a few drops of blood.

"Stackhouse, see if your sister still has synthetic blood bottles in the fridge. She used to have them before."

"Immediately."

"I don't want to drink that crap" Pam grumbled.

"You'll eat something better later."

"What will you do?"

"Go with them. I don't think that I have a choice."

"I'll go with you"

"Not a chance. Jason! Deal with Pam, see that she sleeps in Sookie's house. Your sister wouldn't mind."

"I know. Are you sure to go with them?"

"No, but as I say, I have no choice."

"Northman, come on!" Rachel yelled. Vampires Kansas and the survivors, Eric subjects, were busy with the task of ensuring the enemies underground.

"Don't bring Sookie out from hiding. And if I don't return, Pam, go away, back to Europe."

"Don't say that..." He stroked her face and kissed her.

"Recover, wait till you hear from me, if you don't… you know what to do."

"Yes, Master" Eric left them and went with the vampires, who walked a few meters, before embarking race through the trees.
