All Hell Breaks Loose

Chapter 64: Drive

Jason thought he was going to lose his lunch during the flight and not because of airsickness. He was never prone to air sickness before. He was worried to death about his sister. He ate his hamburger too fast and now all that thinking about the worse things that Russell was going to do to her plus all the turbulence this flight was suffering from was making his stomach do acrobatics.

"You aint going to get sick on me?" Terry asked from the seat next to him. Terry had asked if he could help and pointed out that Jason would have some trouble with weapons on the flight, even with his badge. He knew of a military base not far from Astoria where they could stock up.

"I'm fine," Jason said and rubbed his stomach. "I'm just worried about Sookie."

"We're all worried about her," Patrick said. He and several of his former zombies agreed to join in on the fight.

"I just hope it's not too late for Eric," Jason said. He had a feeling that Russell was using Sookie for bait and wasn't sure if he had other plans for her but he did know that the vampire wanted revenge on Eric and Bill.

"Tried getting here as fast as we could," Terry said and he was right. Even if they drove and switched drivers they would probably arrive at the same time, even later perhaps since they would have to make several stops. They were able to get the flight in the early after noon and the others had book later flights. Some of the vampires flew in the night before and the others would catch the first few flights after sundown.

"They have alerted the local authorities in Astoria," Cassidy said. "Not to mention the local members of the supernatural community. They are swarming around looking for the location as we speak."

"All in that area you told us about?" Patrick asked.

"That would be the place," Cassidy said. "and I know I should of brought it up before but the Warriors of Light are joining us."

"Who are they?" Terry asked.

"Former members of the Fellowship of the Sun," Cassidy explained. "They are pretty new, broke away from the church and formed after Steve fought for his own church."

" With everyone swarming around wouldn't they have found them by now?" Patrick asked.

"You do have a point," Cassidy said in a concerned tone.

"What are you saying?" Jason asked. "Russell has too many of his forces and it's over powering them?"

"That's one possibility," Cassidy said. "I'm not sure about the others."

"Could have some sort of a camo?" Terry asked.

"Camo?" Cassidy raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"Camouflage," Patrick explained. "Like a magical form. Keep people from seeing what is really there, or making them forget they see it."

"That could be it," Cassidy said.

"Yeah they say he got some witches working for him," Jason said. "Do you think the ones working with us could over power it?"

"We'll try and contact them when we land," Cassidy said.

"Does this magic camouflage work on werewolves?" Jason asked and knew how stupid it sounded. "Their noses I mean. Could they smell him out or smell other wolves that might be working for him?"

"I have no idea how magic works," Terry said. "Wish I did and don't know if it can fool noses of werewolves or not."

"We'll ask again when we land." Cassidy said. "I do have one question about this base we are heading to."

"What's that?" Patrick asked.

"They'll lend weapons to civilians?"

"I think they will under these circumstances," Patrick answered. "I'm going to have to check with them first."

"My second question is do they have swords?"

"I think they do," Patrick said.

"Are you going to wear your track suit again?" Jason asked. He was amused and impressed with Cassidy's sword skills in Dallas.

"Already got it packed."

Jason tried to smile and hoped that Sookie was fine while he endured the rest of the flight.

Sookie wasn't sure where they were exactly. All she knew was that she was locked in a basement somewhere and both Bill and Eric were chained to the wall with silver. Bill was asleep when she woke up and Eric was drifting.

"Sookie," Eric whispered. "I'm sorry."

"Not your fault," Sookie said and kissed him. "This is not your fault at all." She ran her fingers through his hair until he was completely motionless.

Sookie had spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how to escape. Through her telepathy she learned that the place was crawling with werewolves and trying to escape them would be next to impossible, never mind trying to escape with two comatose vampires.

They did provide her with some food and another gave her some magazines to read. Every time a wolf came down to check in on her they told her that it would be very stupid to try and escape and one werewolf wearing a Star Trek shirt told her that it would be futile.

"Hey guess what," one of their captors said as they came down the steps into the basement. "We are leaving now."

"What time is it?" Sookie asked. She was certain it was still daylight out.

"Don't matter," the wolf said. "We are moving now."

"They will die if you move them now." She pointed at Eric and Bill. "They will burn up in the sunlight."

"No shit," the wolf said in a sarcastic tone. "You think we don't know that."

"I think Russell would be upset if they burned up before he can get back to them." She knew who they were working for from listening to their thoughts. "I'll be perfectly happy to tell him."

"You don't have to tell him anything," the wolf said as a few others came walking down with what looked like sleeping bags. "We got perfect transport for them. Should have thought about this before."

"What are you doing?" Sookie asked as the wolves removed the silver from the two vampires. She walked over to them until she felt a firm pair of hands grab her wrist. "Let me go."

"How stupid do you think we are?"

Sookie chose not to answer and watched as the werewolves stuffed Eric and Bill into each sleeping bag and zipped them up. Two wolves grabbed each of the vampires up and walked up the stairs.

"I still can't believe we thought of this sooner," the wolf holding Sookie said. "I wonder if I would get an award for this idea."

"Maybe you will get a milkbone soaked with V," Sookie said and was shoved to the ground.

"Don't need sass from a mere human," the wolf said as he picked Sookie back up. "Come on."

Sookie felt herself dragged through the house and into the garage where there was a van. She was shoved inside and nearly fell down onto the sleeping bags that contained Eric and Bill.

"You moron," another wolf said. "You forgot to bind her."

"Whoops." He grabbed Sookie back and held her while some rope was used to tie her wrists. "I can't believe I forgot about that."

I can't believe that we got captured by these guys. Sookie thought as she stared down at the sleeping bags and she couldn't believe Bill would do something like this.

Eric remembered drifting off in some sort of basement, but now they were moving again. He could feel they were in motion and felt the bumps. He was also enclosed in a cloth of some kind and he was trying to wiggle out.

"Eric," Sookie's voice was heard. "Open them up."

"Why?" One of their captors asked. "They don't need to breath."

"They need to eat," another werewolf said. "Boss wants them fed. There are some Tru Bloods in that cooler.

The sound of a zipper was heard and Eric poked his head through. He could see the silver weighing down his legs.

"Just got your arms to hold this," the werewolf said as he hand him the bottle.

Eric snatched the bottle for his hand and looked at Sookie. Her eyes were filled with tears and her mouth was set in an apologetic manner.

"Eric I'm-"

"Don't," Eric said. "This is not your fault. I don't want you to apologize."

"It's not your fault," Sookie told him.

"I should have told the others," Eric said. "I acted on impulse."

"Still not your fault."

"Most of this does not lie with me," Eric said as he took a long gulp from his bottle and turned to glare at Bill who was just mindlessly drinking from his.

"I think something is wrong with him," Sookie said.

"That is quite the understatement," Eric said as he continued to watch Bill.

"He won't talk and he has no emotion. It's like he's a robot."

"A robot?" One of their captors asked. "Did our boss create a robot vampire?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Victor," another one said. "He doesn't have a replicant factory."

"Yeah but he's got all those scientists working for him," Victor reminded him. "Who know what's being made in that lab of his."

"You have mad scientists working for you?" Sookie asked.

"Victor, shut up."

"They don't know everything," Victor said.

"They know enough."

Eric ignored their squabble as he drank down his bottle and set it down. He watched as Bill just sat there, not saying anything and just staring straight ahead. It did seem like was a machine and not a vampire. For a second he wondered if Bill actually was replaced with an android, before he realized how ridiculous that sounded.

"Eric," Sookie whispered as crawled closer to him. "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know." He ran his fingers through her hair before he leaned down and whispered. "I have sent a call to Pam and the others know were we are headed."

"Will it be enough?"

"I hope so." That was all that they had, just hope.
