All Hell Breaks Loose

Chapter 47: Working For the Weekend

"Oh God," Sookie gasped as she felt her legs grow weaker. "Oh Alcide I'm so sorry." She should have figured that Russell would retaliate that way. "How many were killed?"

"If you mean of the Dallas pack?" Alcide asked. "The number is minimal compared to how many of Russells that were killed. Still many needed medical attention."

"How many wolves did Russell send?" Sookie asked.

"Over two hundred."

"I've seen the Dallas pack. I fought along side them. There were not that many. How was it possible that they able to defeat Russell's pack unless there was magic was involved." She would be able to understand if it did involve magic in some fashion.

"No this is better than magic," Alcide said. "We got Sheila and Rusty to talk a little more and mention what Russell tends to do when his plans have been upset like that and we contacted the wolves in Dallas. They were able to convince the packs from Fort Worth, Irving, Waco and a few other neighboring cities and towns to form a pack alliance."

"Alcide," Sookie gasped. She did not know what else to say.

"I wish I were there. Another idea of Russell's that backfired on him. He hoped that by taking out the Dallas pack he would cow tow ever other pack to back down and not rise against him."

"Instead those other packs know that if they stand together they can stand up against him. Alcide that is great news."

"I know, oh and I'm sorry about not wishing you a happy Thanksgiving. I think we all are grateful for a little bit more now."

"I know I am," Sookie said and thanked Alcide for the news before she hung up.

"Who was that?" Jason asked as soon as she had sat back down.

"Alcide," Sookie explained and repeated the information back to the others.

"Dem wolves are smart," Lafayette said. "And they got balls that is for sure."

"Band together and not take any crap from anyone," Tara added. "You have to give them credit."

"We can all do that," Sookie said and when she had everyone's attention she continued. "Russell Edgington thinks he can unite all supernatural beings against humanity. He has some vampires, some werewolves and some witches working for him. That will not be enough. If every wolf pack unites, every shape shifter gathers together, the vampires that oppose him along with the help of witches, mediums, geomancers, fairies, succubae and ordinary humans we can take him out."

"Hell yeah," Jason said and stood up. He looked around awkwardly. "I thought you were giving a speech or a toast or something."

"It can be," Sookie said and raised her glass. "Who is with me?"

"I am," Cassidy said as she and Lawrence brought their glasses against hers and Jason's.

"Count on me," Hailey said and clinked her glass. "My mama and her family will be more than happy to help."

"You know you can count on me, Sook," Lafayette said.

"Don't count me out," Tara said and brought her glass against theirs.

"I have said I wouldn't fight," Claude said as he grabbed his glass. "But my kind can't hide forever and there are still plenty of human fairy children out there who are in danger from Russell. The sooner we take him out the better. I am in." He clinked his glass.

Sookie smiled as she sat back down. "Now who is in the mood for dessert?"

November 27

Jason had to pause after leaving the bathroom. It had happened again. He was only able to cum when he was thinking about Steve. He kept telling himself it was the blood, but it wasn't just masturbating. The last few times he had sex with Jessica he couldn't get off without thinking of Steve and the erotic dreams he had contained both Jessica and Steve.

"Maybe I need to kiss him," Jason said to himself. Or Maybe you need to fuck him to get it over with. Why would he think that? Cause your desire is growing for him and it's going to keep on building and building until you stick it up his ass. Now get in there and seduce him.

Jason smacked himself in the side of the head and wondered what was wrong with his brain. Maybe he really is a slut who would sleep with anyone. No, he still felt love for Jessica and he wants to make her happy and he won't be keeping her satisfied if he keeps on thinking of Steve. What if he shouted out Steve's name in the middle of sex.

"I'm going to ask him first." He walked into the living room where Steve was on the couch with the remote in his hand. "Hey Steve." He flopped down next to him.

"Nothing really good on," Steve said. "Unless you want to watch and old Christmas special."

"Not really in the mood," Jason said and scooted closer to him.

"What are you in the mood for?"

"You." Okay he got that out. Now he was in the mood for a beer.

"What?"

"Can we have sex?" Jason asked and closed his eyes. "Okay that is the bad way to ask. I hate putting you in that position and—I can't stop thinking about you. You are in my mind and I know how you feel about me and I like you a lot and you probably hate hearing me say this but I like you a whole lot better now and then, not that I didn't admire you back then but you tried to kill my sister and we always been close."

"Jason," Steve tried to interrupt.

"It might be the blood talking but I can't stop thinking about you at all and I have woken up with a raging boner after dreaming about you and I probably shouldn't have said that."

"Jason."

"I just don't know what else to do and it's really wrong for me to play with your emotions like that because I know how you care about me and-" He was cut off when Steve grabbed his head and kissed him.

"You are always on my mind," Steve said when their lips parted.

Jason closed his eyes and they kissed again. Steve's kiss was cool like Jessica's and his lips were as soft but there was a bit more of a tingle, almost a bit nicer. Jason used his tongue to part Steve's mouth. He could feel Steve's tongue against his. He glided his tongue over Steve's teeth and felt the fangs grow.

"Did I hurt you?" Steve asked.

"No," Jason said as he grabbed the hem of his pants. His dick was pressing against his pants so hard it was starting to hurt.

"Allow me." Steve slipped them off for Jason before he caressed the hard cock with his fingers in sensual and smooth strokes. After pushing the coffee table for more room he dropped to his knees.

Jason watched as Steve used the tip of his tongue to guide the end of his cock in his mouth. The vampire's lips brushed against the skin while he sucked. His tongue massaging the head.

"Oh God," Jason moaned and felt his hips thrust.

"Hmmm." Steve continued his lips stroked against Jason's hard flesh while he took more into his mouth, not stopping until Jason could feel it hit the back of his friend's throat.

Sookie cannot remember the last time Merlotte's was this slow. It was just her, Arline and Jessica for the evening and they each only had one or two customers per section. There was only person at the bar and it wasn't Jane Bodehouse. Sookie new the slowness was because it was the day after Thanksgiving and most people were at home resting after getting up early for those door buster deals.

"Not much for tips tonight," Arlene sighed when she went to drop off the check for one of the only two customer groups she had that night.

"Nothing wrong with a relaxing evening," Sookie said as she placed a chicken basket meal down for one of her own. "After Wednesday."

"That's for sure," Arlene said as she walked over to the bar and waited for Sookie to catch up. "Hopefully tonight will be the night I find out what was going on."

"Find out the cause and how to fight it," Sookie said and nodded.

"Going to be hard to break it to Terry though."

"How did you convince Terry not to go?"

"I told him I don't got anyone to watch the kids tonight," Arlene said with a smile.

"Is this where we go when we are bored?" Jessica asked and leaned her back against the bar on the other side of Sookie. "And our customers are nice and happy and I don't want to check on em too much because then they will get pissed."

"Pretty much," Arlene agreed.

"So what are you all doing for Christmas?" Jessica asked.

"Hard for me to see vampires celebrating Christmas," Arlene said. "Now Halloween I can understand but Christmas?"

"There are many vampires who actually enjoy the holiday," Jessica said. "Including me."

"You know of one reverend who got turned," Sookie reminded her. "And I know of a nun who is a vampire." She wondered if Anya would bake anything. She also wondered if Valentino knew of any holiday scented baths and if Cassidy would be making any gifts and Lawrence… "Oh crap. I just remembered. Lawrence is Jewish."

"Lawrence?" Arlene asked.

"New friend of ours," Sookie explained. "He wears goggles."

"Oh that guy," Arlene said and smiled. "He doesn't look Jewish."

"I wonder if he needs a menorah," Jessica said.

"What are you three doing?" Sam asked as he walked up to them. "I don't pay you to stand around."

"Already checked on everyone," Jessica said.

"Then you find something else to do," Sam said. "Arlene you can scrub this bar. Sookie check the shakers and ketchup bottles. Jessica you can help Lafayette in the kitchen.

Sookie checked each shaker and bottle and only one peppershaker needed filling and it was one third full. She checked on her two tables. One wanted the check and another wanted refills on their sodas.

She was happy to see Kevin and Kendra enter but her smile faded when the went to Jessica's section.

"The one thing about it being slow," Sookie said as she walked up to the bar. "This slow is that your shift seems twice as long."

"And running out of things to do," Arlene added as she cleaned the tumblers.

Sam stepped out wearing his coat. "I gave the keys to Lafayette. I know you can manage without me."

"Where are you going?" Sookie asked. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Sam said. Luna got discovered. I have to help her.

"You can't lie to me," Sookie said as she ran out after him.
