All Hell Breaks Loose

Chapter 33: Blow Me Away

Sookie stared at the young werepanther as she was lying on the ground and weeping. Seeing her so helpless she could not help but take a step towards her, but was held back by Eric grabbing her arm and pulling her back.

"Becky!" Jason shouted from behind and tore off to the young girl. "It's me."

"Jason," Becky sobbed and smiled at him.

"I need help," Jason said as he examined her arm. "I need to get her inside."

"I thought you wanted nothing to do with them," Jessica asked as one of the werewolves and Steve walked over to them. "After what they had done to you."

"She's different," Jason said and tried to pick her up. "She's the one who untied me and let me escape."

"Did one of her own do this?" Steve asked as he and the wolf helped Jason carry Becky inside.

"Been a while," Jason said.

"They stopped beating me for that weeks ago," Becky said. "Jason, it hurts."

"I know," Jason said softly.

"That is a bite wound," the werewolf said as he inspected it. "From a werewolf."

"They were so strong," Becky said as everyone followed them inside. "So many. I ran to get help."

"Could these be Russell's wolves?" Sookie asked as they placed Becky on the couch. Cassidy was ready with a wet cloth to clean the wound and Valentino had several items in a few small jars.

"There is a possibility," Eric said. He watched as Valentino swabbed some of the clear stuff from the jar and put it over the wound followed by placing a large cotton pad over and wrapped it in gauze. "She might need a hospital."

"How long ago were you attacked?" Ismene asked. Her normal friendly and playful tone was replaced with a calm serious voice.

"Not long ago," Becky said as Valentino took a knife to his own wrist and bled into a shot glass. "They might still be attacking. We have to help them. I think all the ones that bed Jason had escaped cause there is the possibility they might be pregnant."

"You were bit by one of the wolves?" Ismene asked. When Becky nodded she continued. "You were able to over power it?"

"No, I ran to get help. One wolf followed me and pounced on me then Grady came and attacked the wolf. They were still fighting as I ran. I continued to run until I smelled Jason and followed the scent here." She accepted the shot glass from Valentino. "Thank you, sir."

"Those wolves could still be there," Sookie said.

"You are not going to fight them," Eric told her.

"Not alone I'm not," Sookie said and watched Becky drink Valentino's blood.

"As much as I hate going back there I just can't let them get all killed," Jason said. "There are other kids there."

"I'm coming with you," Jessica said as she looked at him.

"So am I," Steve said.

"We need to decide who is going," Ismene said. "And who is staying."

"My dear Ismene," Eric said and lowered his head. "I respect your decision but why are you fighting to save a bunch of inbred werepanthers?"

"This young one came to us for help," Ismene said and nodded at Becky. "You can see how desperate she is. I also have an ulterior motive but that will wait until we arrive."

Hot Shot

The only one who stayed behind to watch over Becky was Cassidy and the artist was reluctant to stay. Ismene had to order her to not join them. The two of them were not completely alone. There were a few werewolves to stay behind and stand guard.

Sookie and the others piled up in various cars and drove to the border before they got out and walked. She looked around at all who were with her. Her brother and Lawrence were the only two humans and in addition to the vampires there were half a dozen werewolves.

"Should we fight fire with fire again?" Steve asked as they were about to enter the village.

"That would be a good idea," Sookie said. "We need every little bit of an edge we can get."

"What is this fight fire with fire?" Anya asked. She had been clutching a rosary and praying for them.

"We let the wolves on our side drink some of our blood," Steve explained. "Our enemy has wolves that are high on V. It makes them stronger, but it is their decision."

The werewolves muttered to each other before one turned towards them. "We'll do it."

Each of the vampires cut themselves with either their fangs or their claws and a werewolf latched onto them.

"So you know how to use a gun?" Jason asked Lawrence.

"I know enough," Lawrence said. "I might not always be able to shoot to kill, but the ones that don't kill will still injure."

"Can you make rocks fly at them?" Jason asked.

"Dude, I'm a geomancer not an Earth Bender."

I smell V Someone was coming there way.

I think there is a vampire bleeding around here, and it's more than one vampire bleeding.

Fresh V

"We got company," Sookie said as three wolves ran up to them. She did not have to fire her energy. Jason shot one square between the eyes and Eric and one of their own werewolves.

"More will be on the way," the wolf known as Dawson said. "We have to move."

Eric, Ismene and Dawson led the way into town. Two other groups of werewolves attacked them but they were easily killed. Another wolf, named Maria-Star, said that they fell so easy because they were in a smaller groups.

"Damn," Jason whispered through his teeth at the site of Hot Shot.

There were several dead bodies on the ground and Sookie couldn't tell if they were werewolves, werepanthers, or even both. There was a large group of people gathered around in a circle, several of them were injured and other's standing behind them, glaring pure menace at them.

"Which one of you is the patriarch of this here spit town?" A tall man with dark hair set in a pony tail walked up to the group.

"I am," an older man said.

"Luther," Jason whispered the name.

"Bring him here," the tall man said. "Have him kneel before me."

The thugs pushed Luther on his knees and even from the distance Sookie could see black fur sprouting on him.

"Don't start changing you old yokel," the leader said. "Tell me your name."

Luther paused in his transformation and reverted back to his human form. "Luther."

"Now as the elder you have the power to swear over your pack to me. Will you fall in line and become part of our pack."

"No," Luther said and tried to stand up but the two wolves held him down. "Panthers don't run with wolves."

"Are you certain you won't reconsider?"

"We will never join your kind," Luther said and spat into his eyes.

"Not surprised," the leader said and wiped the spit from his eyes. "Kill him."

Sookie stood up the second five wolves pounded on Luther who turned into a panther and fought back. She was about to rush in with guns, or her hands, blazing but instead was pulled back by Eric.

"We need a plan," Eric said as the wolves continued to slaughter Luther. Several of the other werepanthers were about to rush in from the circle but the wolves held them back.

"He is right," Ismene said. "We cannot just rush in."

"Where did that other human go?" Dawson asked.

Sookie looked toward Lawrence who was just as confused as she was. They both looked around and could not see Jason. Where was her brother?

"Now who is nex-" the leader never got to finish his sentence. The sound of gunfire cut him off and a hole appeared in his neck. Blood gurgled out as he fell over.

Two more gunshots were fired and two more wolves fell over dead with wounds in their heads

"There," one of the enemy werewolves said as they pointed to one of the houses as another shot was fired and killed him.

Everyone looked up at the house where Jason stood, aiming his gun at the enemy werewolves.

"That's right folks," Jason said. "Jason Stackhouse is back." He continued to fire until he heard a click.

"Run out have we?" A female were asked as several more were climbing up the house.

"Jason," Sookie gasped as she ran up to them and threw several light blasts at the ones that were climbing after her brother, knocking them out instantly. She heard a wolf run up to her and she turned around, only to have Eric intercept it. She watched as both vampire and wolf fall to the ground and Eric used his fangs to tear out the wolf's throat.

More gunshots were fired coming from Lawrence as the six wolves from Shreveport pounced on the other wolves and the vampires rushed in, breaking the were's necks or knocking them out.

"Oh yeah," Jason said in a proud tone. "He's brought the cavalry."

Sookie continued to user her fairy light to attack the wolves as she watched the others. The vampires were doing well although both Jessica and Steve were easily over powered. It took the power of three wolves each to take out Anya and Valentino. Eric and Ismene fought at amazing speeds before five wolves brought down Eric and Seven tackled Ismene.

A different kind of growl was heard. It was a growl that Sookie had heard in National Geographic specials and there were multiple growls. She glanced over to the circle as nearly everyone who was of age shift into panthers. They took out the few remaining wolves who were trying to keep them down before joining the fray.

"Get off them," Sookie shouted as she fired blasts at the wolves that took down the vampires. She could see Lawrence, Dawson and the others were surrounded by even more. She fired everything she could at them before another wolf tackled her to the ground.

Sookie looked up weakly at tried to use her light on the wolf that was holding her down but instead of the beautiful glow it was only a few sparks of light.

"What's wrong?" The wolf asked in a condescending way after shifting back to his human form. "Batteries run out?"

Sookie chose not to answer him and only looked up. One of the werewolves had climbed up and was about to take out Jason only to have a brand new hole put into his chest.

"Dumbass," Jason said and aimed the gun at the one holding Sookie down and fired at him. "You don't walk up to a guy who had just finished reloading his gun."

Sookie kicked off the dead werewolf and tried to stand up, only to fumble. Not only did she wear out her fairy powers but she also wore out her stamina. She watched as the enemy wolves keep falling like dominoes. She wanted to continue to help and fight and looked for something to throw only to stumble and fall.

The firm arms of Eric caught her and pulled her close to his chest. She looked up into his piercing blue eyes and smiled before passing out.

A/N: To me it seems that Sookie's "Microwave Fingers" Are tapped into her energy level, hence why she collapsed and I feel she should have a limit to how much light blasts she could do. I don't like characters that have too much power and no weakness's.
