Chapter 5 : The First Step is Made
Felipe POV
My beautiful Angie.
Angie Weather-Spoon was my consort before Sookie. She was smart, feisty, out-spoken and beautiful. Just like Sookie in that regard but that's where the similarities begin and end. While my wife now is blond, Angie was red-headed. Sookie is average height while my Angie is tall. Sookie is curvaceous while Angie is slender.
While she agreed that it was "Vamps first before Humans", she was against me on not bailing Eric out of the contract between him and Oklahoma. She liked Sookie on first sight and was very impressed when Sookie tried to bail Eric out on the supposed murder of a girl on Eric's home. I debated that it is outside of our concern. She said that we owed it to Sookie who has helped us and our kind a multitude of times.
She recounted how I was rescued by Sookie from Seigbert, how she helped Vamps in Rhodes. And her master-minding Victor's demise. Out of anger and annoyance, I told her that if she can convince Freyda to revoke the contract, then I will help her. The next evening, after making love and telling me she loved me, she set off for Oklahoma.
But she never made it.
The Fellowship of the Sun got to her.
After incapacitating her with silver and torturing and raping her, they made her meet the sun. I blamed myself.
Grief made me lose sight of how it happened. Only after did Sookie come to my palace did she find the human spy who told Angie's pending visit to Oklahoma to Freyda, herself. Freyda gave the Fellowship the arsenal and resources to abduct my then- beloved consort. We tried to pin it all to Freyda but she was able to remove all lead to her crime.
Helping Sookie actually helped us both. We both lost the people we love to Freyda. Helping with each other's grief is cathartic to us both.
I then resolved to have my revenge. I will help Sookie for Angie. And in doing so, I will take what Freyda treasured the most.
I will take Oklahoma. And Sookie will have her Eric if it's the last thing I do. I owe it to her.
I owe it to Angie…
