I have been wondering for a while If I should end this one and give it a sequel. But I think I might just keep on with it. Hope that makes you all happy! I just don't feel like ending this one and beginning a new one will be different then just continuing this one. Here is another for my wonderful followers :D
I want to apologize for not updating sooner. Unfortunately we lost our dog a few nights ago and it has been pretty brutal for my family.
Thank you to all the people who reviewed! I am happy that you loved some of the fluff I threw in. I certainly did :)
Chapter 34:
I followed my brother back to his bar, not thinking at the time that he would turn against me. He wanted revenge as much as I did. This was the one thing I could always be sure of. That and his love for me.
The large metal door slammed shut behind us as I followed him blindly. Before I knew what was happening something metal, something draining wrapped around my wrists tightly.
"Eric? ERIC! What the fuck!" I screamed. At least I think I screamed? I couldn't be sure. All I could tell now was that my eyes wouldn't stay open much longer. I could feel him lift me over his shoulder, his face was blank. "LET ME GO ERIC!"
'SOOKIE! SOOKIE I NEED YOU!' I screamed through our mental bonds. 'ERIC'S GOT ME.'
He dropped my roughly onto the concrete floor of his filthy basement and left me there. "ERIC!"
I felt the shackle around my neck fall away as I was lifted again into my brothers arms. The feeling of a heavy weight sitting on my shoulders did not however leave me. What ever he had used on me had some sort of magical hold over me. I couldn't use my light.
"Eric please, tell me what is going on." I pleaded with him, leaning into his chest.
Leaning down he brushed the hair from my face, "This is the only way sister. Trust me." He whispered as he carried me up the stairs.
"OLIVER!" I could hear Bill Compton yelling behind the closed door as we both stopped. "OLIVER! ERIC?"
"They're not here." Pam told him.
"Oliver is here. I can feel her fear." He replied. I kept forgetting he drank a lot of my blood. I guess I had his to. We were connected. Dammit. I understood Eric's jealousy.
"She came here on her own, you know that. I keep wondering why my maker's lady is always being followed by you? Do you love the little southern one or is it Oliver you are really after?" She asked him.
"Did she tell you that?"
"She clearly doesn't want you." Pam fired back at him. I couldn't figure out why the hell Bill was always worrying. But it did sort of make sense.
"If you try to keep her from me, I will kill you."
"Get a clue Bill. We are not the enemy."
"I am older and stronger then you. You are no match for me." He continued. I tugged on Eric's shirt, trying to get him to let me down. But he didn't. Instead he shushed me and we kept waiting.
"This is not just about you and that thing you call Oliver you infatuated tween. Theres a bigger picture." A loud crash sounded. I assumed they began to fight. "Don't you want the keys?" She taunted.
The door flew open as Bill came face to face with Eric and I. Sookie came running in the building behind Bill. Without waiting she held out her hands and threw Eric of of me using her light.
This was great for me in retrospect. But hitting the cold hard floor wasn't helping me feel any better. Sookie dropped down and helped me out of the chains, and kicking them down the stairs behind us.
This instantly made me fell better as I stroked my wrists. "Bout time." I said to her as I stood up and looked around us. Pam lay on the bar and Eric stood calmly against the door to his dungeon.
I picked up a small bottle from the floor, "Silver?" I asked Bill. His face covered in small holes. He nodded. Turning to Sookie I pointed to my brother, "Hold him there. Do not let him move."
"Rightie." She said awkwardly, keeping her hands up.
"Pam. Why was I locked up in the basement?" I asked her, holding the spray bottle up near her face.
"You were supposed to be a gift for Edgington.. Now we're all going to die because of one freaky little human." She spat.
"Oh Pam." I scolded, "I am not a human." I said to her, getting so close to her face I could smell her shitty perfume.
"Russel will be here any moment Oliver. We need to finish this." Eric finally spoke up. "This is our chance."
"Don't you even speak to me! You could have just asked me. You could have told me you're plan!" I said, whirling around to look at him. "You say you love me but you never let me in! Nothing has changed."
"Oliver we need to leave." Bill interrupted.
"No. You two leave. I clearly must stay and play this stupid game. But If I need you I will call again." I said, looking to my friend Sookie. She knew what I meant. I could see Eric's eyes widen, finally realizing that Sookie and I could not only hear people but we could send our thoughts to each other. This had spoiled his idiotic plan for me.
"We aren't leaving you here." She fought.
"Yes you are. If Russell is coming here then you and Bill need to get far away from here." I told her, taking her hand, "We are rare in this world Sookie. We need to live on."
Sookie and Bill left after ten minutes of me trying to reassure them. Eric and Pam both watched me carefully as I took a seat at the bar.
"Well now. Isn't this a lovely little party." I Russell's voice drifted over to me. "Now. To business yes? He asked Eric.
The two spoke quietly, smiling back and forth to each other as I made angry eyes at Pam. I was feeling super tired from laying on the concrete floor all day and I had a wicked stomach pang that wouldn't seem to die down.
"Fairies?" Russell finally said, turning away from Eric and walking to me. "You are trying to tell me this is a Fairy?" He scoffed. "You expect me to believe this? A species that went extinct millennia ago? If they even exist at all." He murmured. "Do you think I wouldn't notice if they're were fairies bouncing around in the world?" Bouncing? Really?
"Believe me or not. She is Fairy." Eric said, crossing his arms over his chest. "She knows how to mask her scent. It helps hide her from detection.. She may very well be the last of her kind... Our only chance to walk in the sun." To what? They couldn't seriously?
"Yeah, yeah yeah." Russell said.
"Drink her blood and find out." Eric shrugged.
"Now hang on a second here. He is not drinking my blood." I said to my brother. "Besides, we both know that has never happened!"
"Bill Compton has shared his little daylight excursion with us Oliver. Not to mention the night at you're house when I drank you're little friend." He said back to me. "It does work."
"Oh! Well that is reassuring. A testimonial from a vampire who lied to me. And you. How can I trust you?" Russell asked him.
"So?" Eric asked him. I sat still trusting that we would get our vengeance. That this would work.
"I am intrigued of course."
"Excellent." Eric replied, pulling me up off the bar stool roughly once again. I was definitely going to have words with him later on. My phone buzzed in my pocket as I pulled away from him.
"Just let me take this alright? Then you two can test out you're little idea. Okay?" I asked them.
"Feisty. Best get on with it girl." He waved me off, speaking again with Eric and Pam.
"Yeah?" I said into the phone.
"Miss Northman? It's Edna or at Shreveport General Hospital."
"Oh, yeah. I am sorry I haven't come in yet, I have been a bit busy. It might be a week or two until I can make a solid appointment." I told her.
"Oh. Yes well that is a long way away isn't it? Look, Oliver? The Doctor thinks that you should come in asap. You really need to be thinking about yourself and the health of you're unborn baby." She told me.
My heart stopped, I couldn't breathe. Baby? What the fuck!
"Miss Northman? Miss Northman are you still there?" She asked me.
"What are you telling me here Edna? I have not been active with anyone capable of that type of thing. Ever. There is no way you're information can be right." I breathed.
"Oh dear. Oh my. I am so very sorry Oliver but you're chart does show a pregnancy. You need to be taking vitamins and you need to come in and have an ultrasound." She continued. "With the injuries you suffered it would be a shame if you miscarried. Please just make the appointment." But I knew I wouldn't miscarry. I also knew this wasn't possible.
I hung up on the woman, shoving my phone into my pocket. Pam was watching me, an odd look on her face as I made my way back to the group. She almost looked shocked, or worried.
"Let's get this over with, please." I told Russell, not looking at Eric. I was sure he could feel my panic. I just hoped he assumed it was because of our plan.
"Yes yes. I would like a short word with you in private Eric, before we begin." Russell said, placing a crystal container down onto the bar top.
The two men went off into the office and shut us out. Pam watched me carefully as I climbed back up onto my stool and stared right back at her. "You should go." She said calmly.
"I should go? I figured all this was you're idea. Why would you let me go now? Don't you hate me?" I asked her, shaking my head. The woman had it out for me since the day we had met. I had taken her precious Eric away from her. "You need to make up you're mind already. Besides, I am not leaving. I will die before I let that thing walk around a day longer."
"I heard you're phone call. Whoever did that to you, I don't really care. You know Eric wouldn't want you to do this if he knew." She continued.
"No one did anything to me Pamela." I shot back. "And I really do not appreciate you eavesdropping on my phone calls." I slammed my hand down on the counter. "You don't know me. You don't get it. But I will lay it all out for you! Eric and I have a history, one I do not expect you to understand. You may be his creation or whatever, but I am his family. His real family."
"YOU LITTLE FLESH BAG!" She said sternly, grabbing my by my throat and holding my against the bar roughly. "You have no right coming in here and pulling this shit. If Eric knew.."
"Pamela. You will put Oliver down. Now." Eric called from the open office door. Russell stood next to him.
"I will have to concur. Place the fairy back on the floor or I will make you." Russell told her. "My my Mr. Northman, you must learn how to control you're child."
"This is bullshit Eric. We should drain this human dry and move on." Pam pouted as she placed my feet back onto the floor. I had let her grab me. I figured it wouldn't hurt to let out a little aggression. I knew she wouldn't hurt me. Eric would never forgive her.
Eric walked to his child and held her face in his hands, "You know I love you more when you are cold and heartless. But right now we need to focus." She nodded and they both smile at each other. "Shall we?" He asked, letting her go and walking towards me.
"Yes, Lets." Russell grinned.
"We must not drain her. If we do there will be no more fairy." Eric added, looking at me with worry.
"Yes, we are schooled! Let's get this done. I cannot wait to feel the sun." Russell cried excitedly. Eric touched my face lightly, staring into my eyes for a moment. "Oh for gods sake!" Russell snapped, grabbing my wrist roughly and sinking his teeth into me.
"Fuck!" I cried out loudly as the 3000 year old vampire pulled at my skin. Eric joined him, not being rough. He sank into my neck as the two drank their fill. All I could do was sit back and hope they remembered not to kill me.
I opened my eyes and looked around. Pam sat next to me, staring up at the TV above the bar.
"What is it? Where are they?" I asked her, sitting up.
"Eric is dying." She sobbed, a bloody tear falling down her cheek as she watched him on the TV. Looking up I saw it. He had chained himself to Russell and there they were out in the sunlight, smoking.
"This was not the deal. Dammit!" I said, standing up from the table I had been laid on. "This was not the goddam deal."
"You have to help him. Use you're fairy magic shit!" She pleaded with me. Snd she was right. why the hell was I letting this continue.
I stormed outside, stomping towards Eric and Russell. "What the Fuck are you doing out here?" I asked him, crossing my arms over my cheat and glaring at him.
"Fucking fairys! Who knew?" Russell grinned. The man was truly stupid. He was burning out here and all he could do was laugh and grin. "Thousands of years of night. You can't know."
"I will have my revenge." Eric muttered to him as they lay on the pavement.
"Traitor! Fucking mad man!" Russell finally snapped, looking over to Eric.
"Be brave. We will die together." He replied.
"Fucking silver! You're father deserved it you know?" Russell told him.
"Our father you mean?" I asked him, putting my foot down on his hand. I so badly wanted him to die.
"My Wolves needed the goats you had. I had to feed them."
"You killed our family for a few goats?" I snapped, crushing his hand beneath my foot. The bones cracked one by one, then knit themselves back together.
"Godric?" Eric said out of the blue, his head turning towards the parking lot. Sure enough there was Godric. He came forwards and knelt down by my brother, taking his hand. He didn't even bother to look at me as he comforted him.
"Forgive me my son." He said. "End all this hate."
"Godric what the heck or you doing here? You shouldn't be here." I motioned to Russell.
"While you still can." He finished, this time he looked up at me. His eyes were pleading but I wasn't ready to listen. I wanted Russell dead. I wanted him to pay. "Forgiveness is love."
"Fuck love! Fuck LOVE! This man murdered everything I have ever loved!" This was all his fault! If my parents had lived I would have been able to stay. Eric and I would not have lost the lives we knew. He wouldn't have become the way he is. I wouldn't have lost all the years I had. "I have waited to long!"
"Love is all." He pressed, nodding to me. He reached out to Eric, trying to take him back inside.
"Would you just shut the fuck up and let me go already?" Russell snapped, looking to Godric. "I could use a little help."
"I swore to our father." Eric whispered, still holding on.
"You're father was a greedy, self important little puss. He got what was coming to him." Russell pressed. This really wasn't helping.
"Only peace follows death my child." Godric said again. He was right in a way. If we killed him he would know peace. Or nothingness.
"Enough!" I cried out, Reaching out I shot my light at the bindings holding the two men together. I quickly wrapped the chain around Eric's neck and started pulling him towards the building, towards safety. Godric followed behind me. Russell stood from his spot, still sizzling as he began to follow us.
Once we were inside I slammed the door shut and touched the door knob, sealing the metal shut with the heat from my light. This left Russell just outside. He would burn and my brother would live. Godric would be unable to help the vampire and I could be in control of the situation. It was perfect.
"The door will not open." Godric said, pushing his body into the door. "Oliver you must open this door!" He said, turning to look at me. But I wasn't going to open shit. That man was going to burn and die.
