Hi ! I'm soooo sorry I havn't updated in so long, I've had so much stuff to deal with. Uni, homework, train strikes, snow... It's been like a never-ending problem. I'll try and make up for it, I promiss ! I know this one's a bit short, but I had a lot of trouble writting it. I do hope you all stick with me, and any ideas would be brilliant. Thanks again for all the support, you guys are really great !
I sat in silence in the corner of the room. No food, no water, nowhere to sleep, nowhere to hide, no one to talk to. I waited and waited, and my fear eventually gave way to boredom. I could feel Eric through our bond, but it was only faint. He wasn't in any immediate danger, so I tried not to panic too much. I closed my eyes for what seemed like a minute, but when I woke up, I was no longer in my cell.
" Ah, good evening Sigrid. I was wondering if you were going to be with us tonight ! " Said Samael. He was dressed all in white, with gloves and a mask on, and was cleaning various knifes and operating instruments I was unable to name. I looked around, panic rising. I was in a plain square room, with loads of really bright lights nearly blinding me. A small table on wheels was placed next to the table I was lying on. I turned my head to see what was to my right, and as I did so, a terrified scream escaped my lips.
Eric was next to me, on a table just like mine, trapped by a ton of silver chains. He was unconscious, and his blood was being drained from two tubes, one in his neck, one in his arm.
" ERIC ! " I screamed. My head was dizzy, and the room starting turning as I reached out to touch him. " Eric... " I whispered, tears welling in my eyes. I felt hopeless. I was too weak to move and I hated myself for it.
" He's as good as dead sweetie. " said the nurse I saw before, hanging a bag of colorless liquid up on a pole next to me. " Forget him. "
I closed my eyes, letting the tears fall. I felt a light kick from our baby, as if to tell me there was still hope. I didn't believe it though. Eric and I were both going to die. And with both of us dead, no one would be able to stop Godric from killing himself. Godric... I hoped he was alright, wherever he was. It had only been a few nights since we parted at the hotel, but it seemed like forever. I bet he hated me for putting his child in danger. For killing him, actually. It was my fault Eric was going to die and I would never forgive myself. He was everything to me. He meant as much to me as Godric did, and I'd only known him for like two weeks. Funny how love can become so powerful so quickly.
Samael's voice broke through my train of thoughts, bringing me back to the grim reality. I didn't listen, he wasn't talking to me anyway. I stared into the nothingness above me, and watched as my vision blurred and became blank. I was shutting down, and I didn't care. No Eric, no Godric... There was nothing left for me to live for.
But before I knew it, the nurse was screaming, and then suddenly quiet, and someone was trying to move me. I slowly moved my head, expecting to see Samael but I didn't.
" Godric ? " I asked, blinking a few times.
" I'm here, you're safe now. " He said calmly, trying to sit me up.
" Now I know I've lost it. I'm hallucinating. " I laughed, not bothering to help Godric move me. Though he didn't need my help, he was more than strong enough.
I heard him sigh. " You're not hallucinating. If you were, would Eric still be like that ? "
I looked over to Eric. He was still unconscious and looking rather... Dead, to say the least. I suppose he had a point.
" Ah, good ! Godric, long time no see. I must admit I'm surprised you haven't kill her yet, it has been centuries. " said Samael, coming in through the door writing something on a notepad he held in his arms. " Oh pity. " He said, noticing his nurse lying in a puddle of blood on the floor. She wasn't dead yet, but she was as good as.
I had to blink really hard to fully take in the scene before me. Godric rushed over and freed Eric, Samael not seeming bothered at all. He then grabbed the nurse, and opened her wrist, letting the blood pour into Eric's mouth. He slowly opened his eyes, and his hands lifted to grab the woman's wrist. Within a few seconds she was dead, and Eric sat up. He was weak, you could see it in his eyes, but he nonetheless rushed over and kneeled in front of me, tucking my dirty, greasy hair behind my ears and pressing his forehead against mine.
" I tried, lover I tried so hard. Forgive me, I should have - " he started, but Godric didn't let him finish. He put his hand on Eric's shoulder.
" We have a war to wage. " he said, shooting daggers into Samael's back.
My two vampires stood next to each other, forming a protective barrier between me and Samael, who seemed to only just take notice of the situation. And within half a second, all three of them were shooting around the place at high speed. I couldn't watch them, the speed making my head spin. They were left, right, in front of me, on the ceiling. The table Eric was on suddenly shot off towards the door and only just missed it's target, whoever it was, and smashed itself to pieces on the metal door. Suddenly knifes were flying through the air, and then some shelves came down and all the bottles smashed to pieces on the floor. Everything was being destroyed, other than me and the table I was sitting on. I couldn't tell who was who, or what was going on.
Eric fell to the ground in the doorway, and couldn't get up. He was weak, and bleeding. His wounds weren't closing and he was groaning in pain, sending shivers down my spine. This wasn't who I was ! I never, EVER let someone wage my wars for me ! As anger rose inside of me, Godric and Samael slowed their battling to a more human speed. I couldn't tell who was winning, but it was obvious neither was about to give in to the other. I got up, and stumbled over to the remains of Eric's table. I grabbed a sharp piece of wood, my knees wobbling under my weight. I was weak, and in no state to fight but I couldn't care less. I needed to help. I crept up behind Samael, and lifted my arm up, ready to strike, but before I knew it I landed in a heap beside Eric.
" Don't... " he mumbled as I got up again.
As I rose, Godric slammed into the wall and didn't get up. I was so mad. So very, very mad, and that bastard was laughing as he turned to watch me.
" Two months and you're still determined to kill me ? " he asked.
" Two... MONTHS ? "
" Yes. You've been my guest for two months now. You were out most of the time of course. " He said, seeming rather proud of himself and he came closer to me. I stood my ground, I was not going to let him get to Eric.
" You've tortured us, starved us, held us prisoners ! You've hurt the two people I love the most in this world... The ONLY people I love ! You... " I fumed. I was looking for a big enough swear word to curse him with, but I couldn't find one. Words were far to polite to describe what he was to me. " You fucking bastard ! " I spat.
I ran at him, ready to pierce his body with my table leg. Somehow me disarmed me, and I fell to the floor - again. My arms gave way as I tried to get up again, it was no use. I was too weak to do anything.
I turned my head in time to see Samael lean over Eric with my make shift stake, and I lost it. I screamed in anger, and I got up with ease. My vision blurred, and then turned red. I was boiling in anger as I ran over to them. And then...
I opened my eyes to a bright sunny room. The walls were a creamy colour, with lots of little flowers. I was lying on a really comfy couch and there were two arm chairs facing it, with a small wooden coffee table in between. I had no idea where I was.
" Sigrid, you're awake ! " I recognised Sookie's happy voice as she walked in with a glass of water. " How are ya feelin' ? " she asked as I sat up.
" Um... Confused. Where... Where am I ? " I asked taking the glass of water she was handing me.
" Eric and Godric thought you'd be safer here with me until dark. " she smiled as she took the seat next to me.
" Are they ok ? "
" They're fine sweetie. They'll be here as soon as it's dark. I'll call Fangtasia and get Ginger to let them know you're alright. D'you want anything ? "
" I'd love a pizza. " I sighed. Sookie smiled and nodded, and then left me.
My body was aching but other than that I didn't feel too bad. I put a hand to my stomach, astonished by that fact I wasn't any bigger than the day I was captured. " What the hell happened ? " I mumbled to myself, as I sipped my drink.
