Chapter 28

"OLIVER NO!" Sookie yelled as one of the men came flying towards me. Her light shining brightly, knocking the man away from me. I looked down at the man then back at her smiling. For some reason this was actually enjoyable.

In the moment of course.

"Well now!" Loud laughter filled the room as a man I very much recognized came in behind the men. "Isn't this a surprise! Grab the girl." He said, pointing to Sookie. "And this one!"

I couldn't breathe as I watched the man order the other men around. He hadn't aged a day since he had murdered my family..

'Vengence.'

The first thing I thought of every time I thought of my family. The only thing.

I let them take us after that, still not speaking a word. I knew the man could smell me. I could see it written all over his face, he was powerful enough to see right through the spell cast on me by Claudine. But when I looked at him, really looked I knew he didn't recognize me. a thousand years could do that if you weren't overly attached to someone.

'What are we gonna do?' Sookie talked with me in her head. 'What is gonna happen?'

'Soon as we get there I want you to escape. Go back home.'

"Get out of the car." The large man who had come at me earlier barked. Sookie and I followed him into the house, one by one.

"Lorena.." I whispered as my eyes stopped on the large spiral staircase. Bill Compton's maker watched as we were hauled inside. My eyes shifted again taking in all the vampires. One brown haired vampire. One creepy black haired vampire. Eric.

'Vengence.'

I realized quickly that my mouth was hanging open. Slamming it shut I looked away from Eric.

Sookie struggled still, as if it would do any good. She was no where near strong enough to take on wolves and vampires.

"Bill!" She screamed as her vampire's face hit the marble floors. She spun around, her eyes landing on Eric.

"Well, guess who turned out to be completely unworthy of our trust.." The man who killed my parents said. Russell.

"No?" the brown haired man said pouting. Another damn vampire. Normally this would be my cue to leave.

'Vengence.' The word shook through me as I stayed as quiet as I could. This was why Eric had stayed. How could he forget this mans face. This was our chance.

"Why? What's happened?" Lorena drawled, worried about her poor Mr. Compton. Why the hell was she even here? Why where any of these people here?

"He's been hiding something very.. Special from us all?" Russell said eying Me and then trailing back to Sookie. The second his eyes hit her Bill flew up, braking off a bit of banister from the large winding stair case and shoving deep into one of the large men holding onto her.

All I could do not to laugh my ass off as the brown haired man screamed like a lady behind me was to look away, pretending to look off behind us. I tried very hard to take in everything around me. Sometimes since coming out into the surrounding places around my home I had met some pretty messed up vampires. Maybe it was all the years they lived?

"BILL!" Sookie yelled again, my face still turned the other way as I heard Bill hit the ceiling, bringing down plaster and wood with him as his face hit the floor.

I had heard of Fae living thousands of years and going a little wacko down on earth so it sort of made sense. The brain could either make room for everything you had experienced or it could retain it and run into a few error messages.

I turned my head back and watched as the brown haired man placed his hands on his hips, staring at Russell furiously. I had tried hard but I couldn't contain the small smirk that appeared to brake through. Russell could only laugh, his teeth extended for some reason.

"Are you serious? I am almost three thousand years old! You think you can just attack my men and escape?" Russell's laughter continued to fill the room and the man next to me continued his angry glare.

Sookie ran for Bill, Eric darting in front of her, grabbing her by the arms. He made no facial expression that showed any sort of pity or remorse for what had been going on and I could see she was shocked.

She didn't understand.

'Vengence.'

The man clearly wasn't aware of who I or Eric were. He didn't remember killing our entire family.

I did. I knew that in order to exact my revenge I would have to pretend to. I didn't know Eric. Only Sookie.

"Eric, get her outta here please!" Bill pleaded as vampire guards followed behind Eric. Instead Eric grabbed Sookie roughly and pulled her back down the stairs, pushing her in front of Rusell.

"Eric! What are you doing! OLIVER! Say something!" She cried out, looking for my support.

I said nothing, still standing watching them quietly. It felt terrible but I would do what I had to. I was sure that Eric was on our side. I was sure that man was the one who killed our family. I was sure I could get us out of here. It would just take some time. She would get over it.

"I wouldn't let go of this if I were you. Or that.. Especially that one." Eric said tilting his head towards me. I watched him smile, seeing only the broken man hiding behind his saddest smile. The one he would give me every time I would turn down his proposals. I just stared blankly at him, trying my best not to acknowledge our familiarity. "I don't know what they are, but I know they are quite valuable." He lied.

"Eric Northman, I don;t think I can ever forgive you for this!" Sookie told him. But like him I knew she would.

"Aww.. It thinks we're equal." He purred, looking back to Russell. I straightened out, his comment actually upsetting me. We were far superior to vampires.

"Oh yes. But it is wrong." Rusell said, looking Sookie up and down again, still trying to figure it out. What we were.

"Oh yes." Eric Sighed. Laughing.. Flirting? With Russell? What..

"You care nothing about our home?" The brown haired man said, joining in once he to noticed the blatant flirting.

"Talbot.. Not now!" Russell said sternly.

"THEN WHEN?" Talbot bellowed quite dramatically. He turned and walked off past Lorena, Sookie and Eric heading for the staircase.

"What are you going to do with our Mr. Compton?" Lorena asked, spellbound by Sookie as she spoke. She loved Bill, or at least said she did. Obsession was more like it. She hadn't understood what was more appealing about Sookie. Why wasn't she the better choice? She just couldn't figure it out. She was pathetic.

"Marco, take Mr. Compton to the slave quarters... There my dear you will kill him." Russell commanded.

"NO. NO! Please!" Sookie cried.

"But.. B-" Lorena began to protest.

"YOU WILL NOT DEFY ME. I am your king!" Russell screamed, "Take miss Stackhouse and Miss? Oliver? To the library Eric. I wanna ask her a few questions after I repair the state of affairs of my marriage." leaving us behind in the foyer he walked up the spiral staircase towards Talbot.

"Bill I will get you outta here!" Sookie cried out again. I most often wished she wouldn't say anything. She always made shit awkward.

"Eric please get Sookie out of here!" He yelled as the vampire guards finally pulled him out the front doors.

"If you do kill him.. I will kill you." Sookie said threateningly towards Lorena who was being taken along with her beloved Bill Compton.

She stopped, her fang clicking as she waltzed towards Sookie. "Oh Please, please do try." She shook her head. "There is no Godric, that sanctimonious prick to save you this time... I would just LOVE to rip you open and wear your ribcage as a hat."

I stiffened, as did Eric as he crept towards her menacingly. He still said nothing, containing his anger.

"Please tell me.. Please tell Oliver that you were just doing all this for the King's benefit?" Sookie asked him, glaring up at my brother with hatred in her eyes. She always thought the worst of him.

Without answering he pushed her towards the library, waiting for me as he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me along with him. With this I could feel his anger, his hatred through our bond. I could feel his determination.

Sookie stood in the library with Eric and I, watching. Once we had been pushed inside Eric had placed me in front of a large glass case. He left me there. I could hear him and Sookie fighting behind me but my eyes were glued on what was right in front of me.

My fathers crown sat neatly on display.

"Russell will be in to speak with you both shortly." I heard him say, closing the doors to the library.

'Vengeance.'

"Now come one Oliver! Tell me just what is going on with you. We are being held captive! You could have done something about it. And why the hell do you keep broadcasting the word Vengeance?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and shook me a bit.

'Keep your damn mouth shut. They can hear us.'

'Why the hell are we talking like this? Care to explain?' She raised her eyebrow at me, tears still staining her cheeks.

'Russell killed my family. That vampire. I think Eric has a plan I just haven't figured it out yet.' My eyes kept shifting to the crown sitting in the glass case.

Our conversation was cut short as the man himself walked through the door, two blue files in his hands. Placing them down on the table in front of where Sookie and I stood he walked over to the large fireplace.

"Isn't it a bit warm out for a fire?" Sookie asked him, taking a seat on a couch across from Russell.

"I suppose it is.. I do love a good fire. There's something so.. Primal about it. Always makes things more dramatic. Don't you think?" He asked, looking over at me.

"Now, it's time for you two to answer my questions." He told us, sitting down on the other couch. I stayed standing next to where Sookie sat. Next to the case holding the only thing I had left of my father.

"Fine, I have some questions for you to." Sookie said, relaxing back into her seat.

"Oh, honey. There is a fine line between feisty and delusional." He laughed, crossing a leg over the other. I scoffed, not looking at him. I couldn't help myself.

Vampires were so full of themselves. But this one was the worst.

"You two aren't in any position to bargain."

"You don't know that." She countered, nudging me. She knew me well. Normally I wasn't this quiet.

"Ohh I guess this is getting interesting. Okay then. You answer one and I will answer one." He grinned back at her. "Who goes first?"

"Are you the king of all vampires?" She asked him.

"Heavens no child. I am merely the king of Mississippi." He said, still laughing.

"Do you have a crown?" My head snapped to his, watching him carefully.

"I have several." He told her, motioning to the case. My fists tightened, I could feel the raw energy building inside as I fought to control my light.

"That's two questions. My turn.." He said his tone changing. He looked up at me as he spoke, "What are you? You're definitely not human."

"My parents were." She said, nudging me again.

"Mine were to." I said, still watching him carefully. I wanted him to recognize me now so that when I killed him he would know why.

"How do you know? And how do you know they were your parents." He asked me, this time not looking back at Sookie.

"Unconditional love?" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes. What made anyone a parent? Certainly not simply biology.

"My grandfather was like me." Sookie said, drawing his eyes from mine.

"Which is?"

"I can hear people's thoughts.. And shifters. Werewolves. Not vampires.." She said shaking her head.

"How dreadful that must be. I mean honestly, who cares what anyone else is thinkin?" He said looking back to me again.

"My turn." Sookie said, "Is Lorena going to kill Bill?" I groaned loudly this time. I was so sick of hearing about Bill Compton.

"If she knows whats good for her. But she'll take her time.. You don't seem that worried. Oliver was it?" He asked me.

"Is there a point to any of this? Why are we talking about Sookie and I?" I asked him.

"You know why. You know I can smell you." He said, sniffing the air. "But you.. Your scent is stronger."

"Please. Why are you going to kill Bill?" Sookie interrupted us once again, still fixated.

"Why do you care?" He asked her, "Are you aware that your, noble Mr. Compton has been keeping a file on you two? On your family?" He asked, placing the file in Sookie's hands. "My turn." He said as Sookie looked inside the folder. "What are you besides a telepath? And what on earth makes that light you used on my men?" He asked me.

"What makes you immortal?" I countered.

"Oh.. Come on now. Don't make me force it out of you."

"What kind of question is, 'what makes you the way you are?' There is no answer to that.." I told him, "You vampires live forever, have super strength. You do things regular people can't. I have a feeling from what I have seen of most of you. You think you are superior." I said disgusted by them. These ones in particular. "You assume that this makes you the top dogs."

"There is nothing stronger." He said, waving me off.

"In the 3000 years you have lived you are telling me you haven't met anything stronger? Older then you?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at him.

"WHAT ARE YOU?" He bellowed, not moving from his comfortable position on the couch. As if he knew he could win any fight and this was nothing.

"So much more then any vampire." I seethed.

"Something big. So if I were you I wouldn't hurt us." Sookie sobbed, placing the folder onto the table.

"Are there other powers?" He asked.

"It's my turn." She sputtered.

"ARE THERE OTHER POWERS?" He yelled again. Sookie jumped a bit in her seat, bumping into my leg again.

"Nope." I lied, touching Sookie's shoulder to comfort her. This was going to be a rough night for her.

"Well, no wonder the queen is so interesting in you two." He picked up the folder and placed it into a desk.

"There's a queen?" She asked him.

"Oh sweetheart. You really don't know anything at all do you?" He said pittying her. A smile still stretched across his big stupid smug face.

But it didn't matter if Sookie knew anything or not. It wouldn't matter because I would get her out of here and then I would kill him and his husband.

At that we were taken up into separate rooms and left locked inside them.
