Hey all! Fanficiton has been having problems lately and some of my chapters aren't posting for some odd reason. And now I am also told that my chapters are disappearing. Yikes. I have contacted them, so hopefully they are up again soon.

Chapter 61: Explosions in the Sky

Sookie

Sookie woke up earlier than she had been lately. She stretched in Eric's arms and peeked open her eyes at him. She smiled as she yawned and leaned forward and looked down. Surprisingly they had fallen asleep semi-clothed. She was in her now slightly ripped up lingerie set and his boxer briefs were hanging on by a thread. Literally.

Sookie licked her lips as she glimpsed him through the ripped fabric and closed her eyes, trying to contain herself. Honestly, last night should have been enough, but the more she was with Eric the more she wanted him.

As Sookie began unwrapping herself from Eric's arms she decided that she didn't merely want Eric all the time. She needed him. And not just for the mind blowing sex. She was completely dependent. And she didn't care. She walked to the bathroom and wondered if this is how married life was for people in love. Or was this the honeymoon phase? If it was, she never wanted it to end.

Sookie turned the shower on and began peeling herself out of the tattered lingerie. She smiled as she picked the lingerie off the floor and pitched it in the trash. Definitely not reusable.

She stepped into the shower and moaned as the water soaked her hair and trickled down her body. She began scrubbing. After she was all cleaned up she stepped out and walked to the closet. Looking at the clock, she was surprised she had only slept for four hours. She quickly dressed in one of the velour sweat suits Pam usually wore. Instead of pink, she had selected her bright yellow set. She was still tired, but she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep.

She trudged out to the bedroom and kissed Eric lightly on the lips. She then covered him up with the blankets and went out to the sitting room area. She grabbed the room service menu and called down for some grapefruit and a bagel with some coffee and juice.

She turned the TV on and flipped through the channels until she heard the knock on the door. She let the waiter in, pointing to where she wanted the cart. Sookie tipped the man and he left Sookie to eat her breakfast. She paced the room, towards the window. How were there windows in here for a vampire hotel?

It was probably high tech tempered glass or something. Sookie looked out over the city she probably wouldn't be able to sightsee and munched on her bagel. She then had a knock on her door. She glanced at the door, concerned. Who the hell could that be? Should she answer it with Eric in his day rest?

She then remembered Lafayette and Jason and bounded to the door and opened it a crack. Her eyebrows shot up when she found it was Abby at her door.

"Sookie, I need to talk to you," she said so fast Sookie could barely understand her. Abby was frantic and panicky. Sookie tried to calm her down as she opened the door all the way, but then she caught something in Abby's mind and she froze.

Something about a bomb. "Abby, tell me about the bomb. Now."

Her tone was harsh, but she didn't care. She needed to know. Abby began, but then Sookie saw everything in her mind. "FUCK! Okay, Abby I need you to help me. We can do this as long as we stay calm. Go down to the lobby and speak with security about what you know, and fast."

Abby nodded, but Sookie could see she was overwhelmed. She grabbed her shoulders and said, "Abby, you need to do this and stay as calm as possible. Everyone will die otherwise. Can you do this Abby?" she said in her most soothing voice.

Abby nodded and she left. Sookie's mind raced and she immediately looked to the bedroom. She needed to get Eric out. And Pam. Lafayette and Jason. Sookie had an idea though and ran down the hall towards the elevators.

She spotted the red alarm and yanked it down, sounding off the fire alarms. That would hopefully take care of most of the humans. She ran back to their hotel room and raced for the phone. She called Lafayette and Jason's extension and a groggy Lafayette picked up with a string of swear words.

"Hookuh, there is a fire alarm going off. If this is a drill I will kill –"

"LAFAYETTE!" she screamed through the phone to get his attention. "It's not safe, get Jason and yourself out now!"

She heard Lafayette begin to ask her a question, but she hung up on him.

She raced to the bedroom and to Eric.

She violently shook him and screamed for him to wake up. She could tell he was fighting against the sun, but it was near impossible. She noticed drops of water land on his face and neck, and looked up at the ceiling to see if there was a leak, but only then did she realize that tears were streaming down her face.

"Eric, please," she wailed to nobody.

Sookie then felt him move and she looked down in shock. His eyes were slightly open. "Sookie?" he asked in a sleepy voice.

"Eric there are bombs all over the hotel. Abby came here scared. We need to get you and Pam out!" she said.

He moved to sit up slowly and she felt his confusion and fear in the bond.

"Are you sure?" he asked, though he knew she was serious.

She nodded and said, "Please, baby, we need to get out."

Suddenly the ground shook below them and Eric shook his head as if the clear it and stood. Sookie sighed in relief as he guided them out, but at the last minute she grabbed the bedding off the bed, wrapping Eric in them as they walked. If they were going outside, Eric was going to be at least partially covered.

Another bomb went off and Sookie panicked and screamed. What if Lafayette and Jason didn't get out? She began to panic, but then shook her head. She needed to trust that they had gotten out.

Eric was now in the hall and breaking Pam's door down. Pam was sleeping in a flimsy pink nightgown with an eye mask. How were they going to manage this?

Eric said, "Sookie, under the bed is a travel coffin. Get it out."

Sookie scrambled under the bed as another bomb went off. She could swear they were getting closer and closer, but she tried not to think about it as she pried the lid off it.

Eric had Pam in his arms and settled her inside of it, closing the lid.

He was weak and moving slowly. His bleeds had also started. The floor beneath Sookie began to make a cracking and creaking sound. Eric moved to the window and busted through the thick glass. He didn't cry out in pain, but Sookie couldn't figure that mystery out now. She was just grateful for one break. He waved her over with the coffin and sat her on it, wrapping his arms around Sookie and sitting on it himself.

Sookie then knew what he was planning and her stomach dropped and she shook her head, "I don't think I can do this," she said as she looked down the side of the giant pyramid.

Eric didn't give her a choice and pushed off. Sookie screamed as they tobogganed down the glass surface, bumping every time the hit a rivet. Sookie closed her eyes as the concrete ground hurtled toward them. This was going to hurt.

She gripped Eric's arms, but found she was no longer gripping the coffin between her thighs. She opened her eyes and gasped as she and Eric were airborne.

She watched the coffin with Pam crashed to the concrete below, shattering and Pam rolling out. Pam shrieked as she began to burn and Eric landed and grabbed the blanket off of himself and flung them on Pam. He picked her up and ran for a light tight space, Sookie guessed.

Sookie was left running after them, but she didn't know where she was going. Suddenly a fireman came out of nowhere and asked if she was harmed. Sookie then broke down and began crying. "There was a…a bomb."

Then rest of the bombs then went off simultaneously. As the building shattered and collapsed, she thought about all the vampires in there. And probably humans. Sookie asked, "Where are the people that were able to evacuate? My brother was in there!"

The fireman nodded and escorted her to the front of the hotel and she immediately spotted Lafayette in a jungle green silk nightgown and Jason in nothing but his boxers.

She ran toward them crying and flung her arms around them. Thank God. She looked around for Abby. She scanned the crowds and couldn't find her. Did she not make it out?

"Sook, are you okay? Are you hurt? Where is Eric?" Jason asked.

She nodded, "Pam and him got out just in time. I think they probably ran for shelter."

Lafayette and Jason sighed in relief. As the sirens wailed around them and the fire hoses were directed toward the now ruined hotel, Sookie could feel the human thoughts still inside the building. Sookie ran to the already taped off area and pointed inside of the hotel to the police and fireman.

"There are still people in there!" she shrieked out.

"Ma'am we know, but we have no way of finding them until we get fire out and can sort through the debris."

"I can help."

Eric

Eric quickly ran to a semi-wooded area and buried himself and Pam. He felt Pam fall into day rest and her fair skin was bubbling from the exposure to the sun. He had almost lost her.

Sookie was the reason they were all alive. Sookie. She was so afraid and panicked. He was panicked about leaving her, but he knew deep down she could take care of herself.

In the bond he felt her become very determined. Eric's stomach turned. When Sookie felt this determined about something, it usually meant she was willing to sacrifice anything to save those that she loved. She had already saved Pam and Eric. Who else? Jason and Lafayette.

He knew Sookie would never recover from their deaths. She would feel alone. And worse, responsible for their deaths. For getting Eric and Pam out instead of her brother and best friend. Eric found dread seeping into his body as he realized she was probably bound and determined to find them. And maybe even save the other humans and vampires trapped in the wreckage.

She could expose herself even more.

Eric felt himself succumb to day rest. Hoping that when he rose, Sookie would be safe and that he was wrong.

So, a lot happened in this chapter. I hope that fanfic stops trying to ruin my life and fix whatever problems they are having. I miss you all too much if I can't hear from you all!
