Chapter thirty-three
Alec's POV
Isaac. God help me. I never wanted to hear that name again, not after everything that tosser has put her through! He used to ignore her when he was with his friends, then she went out with him and he cheated on her and then he almost got her fucking killed. And she still wants his help? But then again he is the last person who may be able to help her. She comes first every time. So I guess my opinions will have to be shoved to the side for now, she needs to get rid of this shadow woman, and if he's the only chance she has; then I'll take it. We'll take it.
"I know that you probably hate that fact, but…" she takes a deep breath, shaking her head. Unsure of what words she should choose.
"I understand" I assure her, taking her hand in mine where our fingers entwine.
"I better give him a ring" she mutters, searching for her phone but I pass it to her before she even has the chance to spot it. It was sat by her side. I watch as she scrolls through her contact list before pulling up his name and calling him, the phone pressed tightly against her ear.
"I need you" she tells him, putting the phone on loud speaker. She trusts me, she wants me to hear the conversation and that alone enlightens my heart.
"I always knew you would, so what time do you need me to come over and finish the job that twat couldn't finish? Do I need condoms?"
"You're sick, you know that? Alec is sat right next to me and he's looked after and cared for me better then you ever did. You had your chance, you ruined it. Don't expect another one" she hisses down the phone at him, I couldn't help but grin to myself at her defending me. Deserves him right that asshole.
"Then why are you calling me?" he probes, annoyance laced in his voice.
"I need your help, Isaac. You said you love me"
"And I do"
"So you'll help?" she asks hopefully, a silence deafening the room for what felt like forever, but in actual fact was probably only a couple of seconds.
"What do you need help with?"
Eric's POV
"Cindy, why are you here? Why do you persist to stalk me and try to ruin my family?" I growl at her, wrapping my arms around Sookie to restrain her, I can tell through our bond that she is unhappy and I can feel that violent side of her building up. She is going to rip Cindy to bits if I let her go, not that I wouldn't mind watching, but the twins are not too far away from us and I do not want them being subjected to such violence.
"Because you love me, you know you do, you can feel it in your bones. You cannot resist me, Eric, you know you can't" she murmurs, her eyes meeting mine briefly, but if she is trying to push any powers onto me she is failing miserably, seeing as I cannot feel no influence nor do I feel an uncontrollable attraction towards her. Her face drops when she realises that her control isn't working, her eyes wandering over to Sookie.
"What are you?" she demands, Sookie raising an eyebrow at her.
"Question is what are you and why are you here trying to take my fiancé away from me? Away from our children?" Sookie retorts, her eyes narrowed at Cindy.
"I'm Fae, and I am under strict orders to lure him away from everything he cares about" she informs us, her sincerity flying across.
"Well, seeing as you have ruined your plan, you can tell us who has sent you on this order" I point out logically, needing to know more about this.
"I will tell you on one condition"
"Name it" Sookie beats me to it, her face turning up to look at me.
"What are you? My power should have worked, we Angels train day and night to learn that skill. It has never failed to lure people away…until now" she tells us, my eyebrows shooting into my hair line.
Ammy was never taught that skill, and if she was, I was never told about it.
"I am Fae as well, but when do you get taken to learn that skill?" once again Sookie beats me to the point. She is a fast thinker and doer.
"We go through school and learn the basic skills needed, then at the age of 18 we are taken away to learn new, more powerful skills such as being able to control people and lure them away. We can usually use it against any species, other than our own"
"So who sent you?" I demand, needing to know this answer right now, but I cannot help but wonder if Ammy will ever be taken to learn powerful Angel skill such as that.
"Felicity. She was killed in vain; she chose me to carry out her wishes and destroy the lives of those who destroyed her. In other words – you" she tells us, both me and Sookie looking at each in disbelief.
"But she is dead, how can she order you around like that?" Annika probes, joining our discussion group with Zach. I did not even know she was listening. Plus I did not even know that Annika knew Felicity was dead. They have met Felicity because she would come round the house to fetch Ammy, but not once have we ever mentioned her 'unfortunate' death.
"When an Angel dies, they don't really die, honey. They go to a different world where they can contact other Angels, but only when they reach a certain level within that new sector. However, Felicity cheated. She is still low on the scales, and the choices she made within life did knock her back a few levels as well. So she contacted me illegally if you will. She was my cousin, my best friend, we always protected one another. I was only doing my duty" she assures not only us, but Annika as well.
"Can she contact, Ammy?" Sookie panics, obviously thinking the worst. But surely Ammy would have told us if Felicity was contacting her from the dead. Well, not technically the dead. This is all rather confusing really, when you think about it.
"If she wanted to, yes"
Ammy's POV
"I still don't feel too happy with this idea, you could get yourself hurt" Alec tries to reason, blatantly trying to change my mind.
"It's the only way" I sigh, wishing so hard that it didn't have to be this way. I really don't want to have to go over into that world, I don't even know how I'm supposed to get there but apparently Isaac knows someone who has been there on many occasions.
"But what if you die? I can't live without you; you are the last thing I want to lose" his eyes are boring so many emotions into mine, but the one that stands out the most is fear. He's scared. Just like me.
"I'll be careful, if it puts your mind at rest you can come with me when I go to Angeli diligeno terram. I'm sure Isaac won't mind, and if he does…well…he can get stuffed. I want you there, and you want to be there, so there's no problem" I assure him, pulling his arms around me.
"No, Ammy. I don't want to be there" I couldn't help but gawk at him, how can he go from wanting to be there one second to not wanting to be there the next?
"I need to be there. I need to be able to hold you both before and after you have done this plan. I don't think I would ever be able to live with myself if anything happened to you and I wasn't there"
AN: The next chapter will be picking up into lots of action. There will be appearances form Isaac, Sookie and Eric will be heading home with the twins and I may slip in one of the twins POV's if you would like to see things from their view :D xx
