MONDAY

SPOV

I awaken to an empty house to the welcoming smell of coffee. Oh my god I'm never drinking that much ever again. I roll out of bed to relieve my bladder and brush my teeth.

I pad to the kitchen for coffee and some oatmeal. I go past the stove and I notice a plate of eggs biscuits and bacon in the oven .

The guys must of left in a hurry to not finish off what was left. I sit my plate on the table then grab silverware and a mug of coffee and head for the table.

On the table is Jase's hangover cure, a bottle of water, and a couple of aspirin. Bless my big brother for knowing just how to take care of me.

After saying my prayers taking my cure all I feel instantly better, and I start eating. My mind wanders over everything we have learned in the last couple of days.

It doesn't take long before I'm remembering my dream from last night. It was the most surreal dream I think I have ever had. The weird thing is, I remember every last detail.

Almost like it was reality and not a dream. Except, I don't know any tall blonde Adonis, or ever seen a beautiful home that even comes close to what I dreamed. We were all there, gathered around a huge dinning room table.

Me , Alc, Jason, Quinn, Ames, Janice, Lala. Tara, Fran and Sam. There was even others there that I have never seen before. It looked like we were celebrating something. There was food on the table, everyone was smiling.

There was a beautiful blonde woman that was sitting next to Jason. With the same blue eyes and milky white skin as the tall Adonis sitting to my right.

Alc is on my left, and next to him is Quinn, then Sam and Tara. Fran is even here. Across from us was Janice, her son JC,{only he looks just like Jason when he was little} Jason, the beautiful blonde woman, Ames, Lala, and another woman with darker blonde hair but the same blue eyes as the other 2 blondes.

There was a gorgeous pale skinned blue eyed woman with jet black hair sitting between Lala and Fran at the end of the table.

Between the Adonis to my right and Janice at this end was a very handsome man, with short dark hair, hazel green eyes, a strong lean muscular body.

A young man maybe 17 or 18. What was weird though was his eyes made him look so much older than 17. He had to be a vampire with his pale skin and strange markings like tattoos on his arms and chest peaking through his shirt.

I just wish I could lip read or maybe hear whats being said. The table looked like it was set for a celebration dinner of sorts

Once I finish my food I decide to clean the house from top to bottom to help clear my head. Gran was always cleaning. I am so not looking forward to burying Gran.

I smile at the thought that I will always have her. Just not in here in our home. I wonder if she'll come and visit. I feel like have so many more questions than answers. It's driving me a little nuts.

I get up and start towards the kitchen sink to find it full of egg crusted, dried on breakfast dishes. Well at least they made it to the sink this time.

I fill the sink to let them soak deciding to do laundry first. I retreat to grans room first to strip the sheets and grab all the dirty clothes on the floor I go to Jason's old room and do the same.

I take the dirty laundry to the back porch to sort and start a load. After wards I retrieve the cleaning supplies and go room to room giving the house a through cleaning. I flip the laundry and hang the first batch of clothes outside to dry.

I finish up by cleaning the breakfast dishes leaving them in the drainer to dry. Wiping the counters down in the kitchen and mopping the floor was all that was left.

Once everything was done and I was satisfied that the house is now gran clean, I decide to get myself cleaned up too.

After showering and a little light grooming I dress in a simple tee and shorts since I won't be going any where today.

As I leave my bed room I hear Jason thinking about lunch. He and Alc are already back, heading up the driveway. I swear that boy is all stomach. Well all stomach and hormones.

Walking towards the kitchen deciding what I want to fix us for lunch, I hear a knock at the front door, at the same time Jason and Alc come in the back door. I ask.

" Jason please go get the front door while I start lunch. Thanks."

He's half way through the dinning room when he says.

" Got it sis."

Alc asks me while washing up in the sink.

" Hey you, sleepy head. You sleep good? You're hangover gone? Anything I can do to help you get the grub on? We're a couple of starving hard working men. You thirsty? Sweet tea?"

I smile looking over my shoulder at his backside as he dries his hands on his pants. Typical men. I tease.

" Yes I did. Thank God for Jase's cure all. Sweet please. Did you say hard working or hardly working? Cause all I saw was a mess in my kitchen when I got up. Thanks for leaving me breakfast. I know you had to hide it from Jason for there to still be anything left."

He grabs a couple of glasses from the drainer and gets the sweet tea from the fridge, fills 2 glasses setting the pitcher on the counter. He laughs out.

" I just ran interference Janice made your plate and hide it. She wouldn't even tell me where she had it hidden it. I take it you enjoyed it? Here's your tea."

I smile as I take my tea from him. Taking a sip and setting it down I chirp while pulling sandwich makings out of the fridge

"Could you get some plates and set the table for me please?".

I settle in to making the sandwiches. Alc starts setting the table. Jason walks back in with 2 tall gorgeous sandy blonde haired people who look alike. Jason introduces everyone.

" Sook this is Claude and Claudine. Niall sent them. That's my sister Sookie and that our friend Alcide Herveaux. We was just getting ready ta eat.

Take a seat y'all. Would y'all like something ta eat or drink?"

I nod at the twins and Alc sniffs, then smiles at them while grabbing more glasses and ice. The twins sit down gracefully. Both are smiling and taking everything in.

I notice that Claudine has points at the top of her ears and Claude doesn't. Huh. Jason continues playing host as he moves to the fridge.

" Let me see what we got. There's peach tea, lemonade, sweet tea, beer, water, and coke. What's your poison? "

I turn just in time with a platter full of sandwiches and a bag of chips. I hear a 'gasp' and see Claude grimace. Poor Claudine pushes away from the table some and has a startled look on her face. Both simultaneously state.

" Lemons!"

We must must of looked confused as they look at all three of us Claudine clarifies.

" I would love sweet tea while Claude would like a beer please. You both are able to touch and drink lemonade? "

Jason grabs two beers. Alc pours Claudine a sweet tea. handing it to her, he grabs more plates, for our guests while I lower my shields and get the same brain signature as Niall. fuzzy.

With my shields back in place I offer sandwiches and chips to our new guests while answering,

" Sure we both drink lemonade. I always use fresh squeezed lemons, makes it taste better I think. Why, y'all get sick when y'all drink it?"

Everyone fills their plates as Claude says,

" Lemons are poisonous to full blooded fae. We become violently ill if any citrus is ingested. But lemon juice it can severely burn our skin and insides. It can not kill us unless ingested in a large enough quantity, but the effects are usually long lasting and very unpleasant. "

Finishing her bite Claudine chimes in,

" Iron in its natural form will kill us. Once it has been smelted and processed, it is still very harmful but no longer deadly unless we are stabbed with it. Any kind of iron that has been made into a sword or blade of any sort will kill us if it penetrates our body.

Leg arm chest stomach head. It doesn't matter where as our blood carries our spark, magic and life force. Iron of any kind poisons our blood fast enough that we can not recover from it.

Many of our kind epically all of the royal bloodline, have a natural defense to this called phasing. We can allow the sword or iron to pass through our bodies with out harming us magically."

Jason and I are just staring. So much for eating. I pick at my food as everyone else is quiet and continues on eating.

Wow. So I guess we can already check off the list of Fae vulnerability's we don't have. I remember last night about the odd presence. Finishing my bite I ask.

" Were um... either of you out back in the woods last night say around midnight?"

Claude looks at me curious and asks.

" No we did not come here with Niall last night. Why do you ask?"

Alc finishes his bite and answers him.

" Last night when we were getting ready to go home after Niall and Gran had already left, Sookie well um she ah..."

Jason ever the tactful one jumps in saying.

" She noticed 2 other supes out back. She's a tel..."

Alc growled at Jason, and it wasn't a friendly growl either. Boy he can get protective and possessive quickly. I glance a look at the twins and they look nonplussed. It must be a supe thing. Alc finished answering them.

" When she heard something out back of the house. We both checked it out. When Jason and I were out looking I smelled the sweet aroma of fae and vampire both.

The scent didn't smell like Niall though. I don't really have much experience with Fae scents. But the vamps scent was mingling with the other scent.

Almost as if they seemed to be following the same path. It was hard to pick up which scent was first or the oldest, or just exactly how many their were."

I looked up just as Claude disappeared into thin air, and Claudine had a worried look. She started asking,

" You are a wolf correct? Did you see any of them or smell any blood? Sense or smell any others?"

Alc just stared off thinking then saying

" No I never saw anyone. As soon as I shifted I tracked both scents the fae scent stopped. And the vampire scent turned back towards the graveyard and trailed across to the old Compton place before disappearing. It stopped at fresh tire tracks.

I know that if I ever smelled that Fae scent again I would know it. It is my were gift I guess you'd call it. I can remember scents and recall them at anytime.

I never smelled any blood of any type. There was another strange smell that I have never smelled before but I can't really describe it to you."

At that Claude returned stating,

" The scents aren't fresh enough now for me to determine who it was. But it started at the portal in the graveyard and ended at the portal in the fairy fields just beyond the woods.

That portal appears to be new or just opened. There were other scents all around both portals too. But all were too old for me to distinguish who or what they are.

I need to pop to Faerun and report this to Niall. Please be careful you remember what Niall said is to come. I will hope to see you soon sister."

And with that he vanished once again. Jason jumps up and asks while waving his hand in the once again empty seat,

" What the hell is going on? What's a damn portal? "

Oh no he didn't. Just cause Grans gone now doesn't mean he gets to start cussing in her house. I light into him Gran style.

"JASON CORBITT STACKHOUSE! DON'T YOU DARE CUSS IN GRAN'S HOUSE DO YOU HERE ME. Alc smack him"

~smack~

"Hey what the fuck Alc?"

As soon as he said the f word I flicked my hand to Alc to smack him again.

~smack~

"Shit man what did ya do that for."

~smack~

" Ow Stop that dammit"

~smack~

"Alc imma warning for the last fucking..."

~smack~"

" Time. Dammit..."

~smack~

" Ow don't smack me up side my head. That shit hurts."

~smack~

"He f..."

~smack~

"Sook ow sorry."

He continued to smack him till he got the picture. Just like Gran would have. Though she would have lit into him a lot more for continuing to cuss.

I watch Claudine, as she was holding back her laughter through her smile and shaking shoulders. Alc was snickering while Jason rubbed the back of his head.

I smiled at Alc he always respected Grans rules in her house. And cussing in her home always got you a smack upside your head. Sometimes with a wooden spoon.

Everyone was calming down, as I refilled our teas and even got Jason another beer. Sitting back down I grabbed Alc's hand looking for a little comfort and started firing questions.

"What's going on Claudine? Are we in danger? Why did he say what Niall said is to come. What does that even mean? "

I am clearly worried now with Claude's abrupt departure. Then to only to come back and disappear again. Claudine's face is full of concern as she says.

" I am not certain. I will stay with you until we know something for sure. Is that alright? As to what Niall said I can not tell you until Claude gets back. Please don't ask me to explain. I can't. I promise you we will tell you soon. But I will try to answer what I can."

I go to get the cookies out of the cupboard and I hear Jason ask her.

"Yea ya can stay. Hey how'd he vanish like that? Will that be something we'll be able ta do? Do ya know what gifts or powers we'll get?"

" Yes it is one of my gifts power sensing. You will be able to control fire, heat, as well as manipulate cold, air, clouds that sort of thing. Also your ability to move, like defy gravity and move through any natural or man made structures.

You will be able cloak as well as tongues, meaning to speak and understand any known languages. Whether the language has been gone for centuries or is new.

Of course you will be able to wield magic. Telaportation or pop as it is called. Also you will have the royal Fae gift of Empathy.

You will be able to feel peoples emotions, even more so than you do now, as well as control to a certain degree the emotions of those around you.

You will not be able to change someones emotion such as from happy to sad. But you will be able to make someone devastated feel better and someone happy ecstatic. Those are your fae gifts.

Sookie will have control over all of this worlds natural elements, along with power sensing, premonition, gifting of immortality, omnikinis, meaning to be able to call anything to her as well as push away or send back.

Telekinesis also cloak , as well as gift sharing, and tongues also you both may share your powers at some point in the future. She will also wield magic, and pop.

Once you transform there may be more. Not everything is clear to me yet, as you are both very unique creatures in you lineage.

There has never been anyone like you known to exist before now, and I suspect there never will be ever again."

I stood up clearing the dishes and carrying them to the sink. While they continued discussing and explaining all the different powers we might or might not have.

I was left with a weird sense of Dejavu. But as fast as it was there it was gone again. The harder I tried to figure out what was familiar the more confusing it got.

Finally with out even thinking about it I had finished up our lunch plates and cleaned the table as Alc put away the chips and cookies.

He grabbed him and Jason another beer as they excused themselves to go outside to work. Claudine suggested we go outside too.

I followed her outside as she went on about how the sky fae that was apart of our lineage and how they loved the sun as it made our inner spark and magic stronger.

Sitting there in the grass I tried to listen but my mind felt like it was on over load. I was still wondering about Niall's last line about our final mates.

I turned to Claudine when I noticed that wasn't talking anymore. She apparently had noticed that I was deep in thought.

I finished my tea and got up and went back inside to refill my glass. She followed me like a well trained puppy.

I sighed loudly, and she smirked as if knowing something was on my mind . So I rolled my eyes and turned back towards the window to look up in the sky and ask.

" What do you know of our mates? I mean Niall stated something about our finding half of our mates last night before he left. What does that mean? "

She sat down and sipped her tea. Silence filled the air between us for a long moment before she finally started explaining.

" Niall believes that because of your lineage and this being a crucial time for all supes alike, that you and Jason are part of a prophecy foretold thousands of years ago by the oracle of Delphi.

If this is in fact true and all points lead to it being true, then you each will have two mates. I have not read or been told the complete history of the prophecy.

But it is said, there were two souls so powerful no mortal body could contain them. Both souls were then divided into three separate souls.

There will be a brother and sister who will wield the greatest of power along with their mates by their sides. Each sibling will have two mates each mate has 1/3 of one soul.

These souls once split millions of years ago will seek out their mates and once the 3 mates connect, their souls will rejoin reigniting the dormant powers held with in them all.

It is thought that this will only occur when all supes, and this world will need guidance to prevent the end of all kind.

As for the rest I am not sure. All I know is what I have told you. Everything is at a turning point. With the vampires out of the coffin now it seems to be the beginning for us all, or what could be the end if all does not work.

Humans, some not all of them will want to wage a war against vampires and unfortunately any who are different magically.

This is what I have seen I my dreams of late and the outcome is not pretty by any means. It changes but so far it keeps getting worse with each supe outed.{shudders}

It starts a chain reaction to outing other supes not of this realm, some of which are very much not going to play nice with the humans here on earth, once outed."

I sat listening to her so wrapped up in her words that it escaped my mental shields that Claude had returned, though I don't know when. It startled me, when Claude started saying ,

"We have trouble Mab has opened the portal in hopes of retrieving all fae decedents to help her over throw Niall which will then allow Breandan to close all of the portals there by sealing off Faerun. She is still hoping to increase our numbers of fae by infusing human blood into the fold.

We all know that she is just trying to gain back control from both of them since her failed attempt in the last war she waged.

Niall believes that she knows now of the humans immunity to lemons and iron. Weakening our defenses against her there by improving her odds at a take over.

He is actively searching for her now to try and contain her and her followers. Since Breandan is known to be fighting the elemental's in Ireland as we speak the prince will seek him out at a later time.

We need to decide to stay here and protect and fight here or at home. Either way Niall says it has begun."

I lean against the back of Jason's chair when Alc reached for my hand squeezing it. When did they come in? Claudine looked as if she was near tears when she spoke,

" I want to stay here. If there is a chance to succeed, even survive this and come through to the other side safely. Here is where we're needed. They will need as much help as we can give."

Good gravy creatures? Realms? Elemental's? Wars? Prophecy? Mates? Magical? What more could there be? I start to ask some more questions, but the sound of Sheriff Dearborns car coming up the drive halts any more talk.

He gets out looking grim as we all pile out onto the front porch. I take a look in his mind and as I suspected he is here about Gran and Jason.

Before I could pick up anything further concerning Jase, the Sheriff approaches me, just as Jason and Alc flank me at my sides saying.

" Sookie, Jason I got some bad news for ya. Alcide, ya might want ta hold on ta Sook. I am so sorry to be the one to tell y'all kids, but well...

It seems there was an accident earlier today in Birmingham, Al., involving your Gran. It was foggy, with little visibility where your Gran was driving down Red Mountain.

Apparently she lost control of her car, and I am real sorry but the report says she went over the guard rails and plummeted into the ravine. She died on impact.

Adele was a good and fine upstanding christian woman. A dear friend to my wife as well as most of the ladies here in town. She will surely be missed.

I hate the timing for this. I was already on my way out here to look for Jason when I got the call about your Gran's accident.

I need to take Jason in for some questioning. Seems several murder victims only had three things in common with each other. They were all strangled, they all had fresh vampire bites, and they all knew Jason biblically. "

I can't help the tears even though I know it's not true, as Alc hugs me to him and I feel a warm comfort coming from a hand on my back as I hear Jason start in.

" This is bull shit Bud..."

Jason takes an aggressive step forward and Bud backs up. I wipe the tears from my eyes and I grab at Jason's arm. When he turns to look at me he cringes remembering that we were just informed that we just lost Gran and changes his look from pissed off to upset in a blink. I gently remark.

"Please Jason don't argue with him. I know { taps temple} you didn't do it. It will be easier if you just answer any questions that he has."

I look at Bud so he knows that I'm reading his close minded self. Shaking my head I continue.

" One girl wasn't even from around here Jase. He's only guessing you might of slept with her cause she looks similar to the others..."

Bud's face puckered up and his thoughts turned mean as he gripes out at me.

" Sookie Please don't do that. You know your not supposed to know these things. You are jeopardizing this case by just talking like that. Now please don't talk to anyone about this case. If I find out you are I will have to run you in until we solve this case. You know I don't want to do that."

Alc growled at Bud for threatening me. Bud just huffed as he grabbed Jason's arm trying to get him away from us.

Jason and Alc both wanted to argue with Bud and put up a fight about bad timing. But Bud assured Jason if he cooperated with them now it would look better on him given the news about Gran.

I watch as Bud cuffs and loads Jason into the back of the cruiser. Quickly he turns the squad car around and he's down the street before I can move or take a breath.

Alc finally picks me up and carries me back into the house. Sitting me on the couch I felt Claudine's hands on mine once again. I felt that same comfortable feeling again. But it just wasn't helping me at all.

We sat there on the couch in silence. Each of them were completely silent to me. It was blissful and lonely at the same time.

For the first time I could remember I was the only one in my head, and it was the last place I wanted to be. We sat there on Gran's old couch zoning out occasionally fielding phone calls from all of Gran's friends.

I was getting concerned that it was getting late in the day and that whom ever was here last night would come back again tonight.

I was getting real worried about Jason and there was no telling when he would be back. I couldn't think straight anymore.

I felt like in the past 24 hours my life had been turned inside out and upside down. Who I was and what I thought was my life was all just smoke and mirrors.

An illusion to hide us from us and every one else. Had it really only been just 24 hours that my life has suddenly taken a sharp nose dive and all that was left was a constant nagging in my mind that wouldn't go away. I was bone deep tired and I finally succumbed to the darkness.

I was startled awake by all the pity voices I heard in my head, when all of our friends started showing up. Grans friends were still calling or coming by.

Mrs Fortenberry's mind was especially rude in her thoughts. She has always blamed Jason for her sons fascination with girls. The man's 28years old cut the strings already.

Word had spread like a wildfire in our little parish. I didn't move though I just closed my eyes and let the darkness take me away again.

Alc shook me awake before he handed me a drink. I glanced around and noticed quite some time had past. It was almost midnight again.

I slept but I still feel exhausted mentally. The past day was finally catching up to me. The house was quiet once again. He nudged my hand saying.

" Come on you need real rest Tinker bug. I talked to Bud, a little while ago, and he said that Jason is staying over night in county lock up.

Seems someone recognized him leaving Dawn's house last week shortly before she was found dead. Not to mention he was caught on security film leaving the Grab it Quick last night right before they discovered Maudette's body in the store room.

Bud said there was just to much evidence against him to just let him walk. He's going to be arraigned no later than Wednesday. "

I gave him a defeated look. I wanted to cry and scream that they were wrong. But I knew with out the real killers identity or at least his name I knew it wouldn't help Jason. I drank what was some sort of mixed drink. I felt awful. Alc helped me up saying

"I know Tinker bug. It stinks. But we'll deal with it tomorrow. Janice will be here in the morning to finalize Grans funeral arrangements.

She and Ames have done everything that Gran didn't already have done. The gang is all upstairs passed out. Even Claude and Claudine stayed. We've checked the woods twice and Claude's out there now watching over us and Quinn's going to relieve him in a couple of hours. None of us wanted to leave you here alone. You are safe."

I just looked up into his eyes and whispered.

" But Jason... Alc he didn't do it. I read it straight from his mind. Yea he sleep with both Dawn and Maudette a couple of weeks ago. But I saw the bite marks on them through his eyes.

It was why he and Dawn fought and he left in the middle of the night. He looked right at Mrs Fortenberry as she watched Dawn stand at her door while he backed out and drove off.

Dawn was alive when he left her and that old busy body has to keep her nose in everybody elses business to feel important.

You know how much she hates Jason for losing her son to his wife. I heard her hear when she came to visit how Adele would be turning over in her grave about how rude I was being to my guests and how she thought Jason was finally get just what he deserved.

She's convinced herself that he's such a bad seed that must of done it, even though she didn't actually see him do it.

She still told Bud she saw Jason leaving her house right before she was found. She just didn't bother telling him that Dawn was still alive when he left."

He checked the door and clicked off the lights and continues.

" He's safer in lock up. Look if another one dies tonight it'll prove he didn't do it and tomorrow while Janice is out she'll go by and vouch for his whereabouts last night.

I promise you he's okay. No matter what the old biddy say's you know that Bud never take what she say's seriously.

I spoke to Jason myself about an hour ago he's not worried about being there cause he know the real killer will fuck up sooner or later. His words Sook. He told me to tell you not to worry and he love's you and you'll see him tomorrow.

He's real worried about you though. With everything y'all have just learned and all this supe stuff that's supposed to be happening all around y'all. It'll all look better tomorrow, OK Tinker bug? I promise you get some rest and you'll see the real killer will get caught and everything will be just fine. Lets get you to bed I am gonna stay with you."

" And if it's not Alc? What then? He's the only brother I've got; I don't think I could stand it if something were to happen to him."

"Tinker bug. It will all work out. I swear to you I'll make a few phone calls, do some sniffing around myself. But I 'm telling you it will all work it self out.

Now please you need to sleep. Your exhausted emotionally and mentally. With all those minds that were in and out of here today I know you didn't get and real amount of restful sleep. If nothing else just let me hold you and help you block for a while."

" Fine. I know your right but I just can't help but worry. Thank you for being there for me today."

" Don't worry about it. That's what best friends are for. To always be there when you need them the most. I'll always be there for you Tinker bug."

We got to Grans room and I collapsed in the bed , no bedtime routine I couldn't concentrate enough to care. When Alc pulled me into his strong muscular arms I noticed for the first time I was crying. I cried myself to sleep as Alc rubbed my back.

Only a short time later, at least that's what it felt like to me, I woke up. Stretching was a big mistake as I was stiff. Rolling over I looked at my clock blinking 5.30 pm.

Granted I felt better and rested and my mind was functioning again. But 17 hours ? Geez Louise. I reached over and plucked a note from the night stand. It read.

'Tinker bug,

I hope you have gotten the rest you needed. I did like I said I would and several of the pack are sniffing around. All of us have taken turns checking out leads and we have a couple to check out still. I called in a favor with the local sheriff. He's the best at what he does.

So don't you worry you pretty little head Tinker bug. We all love you and we'll do what ever we have to to bring Mooch home.

And for the love of my sanity please stop crying . I'm afraid I'll either rust or something might start growing from all the showers my chest has received lately..

We'll see you soon,

the gang.'

I giggle at his antics. He hates it when any girl cries. I know it might be Alc's scribble but I know either his sister or Ames told him to write it. He's not the note type of person.

I hop out of bed to freshen up. After a really good shower relaxing all my muscles I dress for comfort in my favorite tweedy bird t shirt and shorts Jason gave me.

With one last look in the mirror I turn and head down the hall to the kitchen. I am both excited and nervous to see if Jason has come home yet.

Before I could shield myself properly I pick up several familiar brains. Just not the one I so wanted to hear right now.

There was Alc, Janice, Quinn, Fran, and Ames. Along with the fuzzy brain pattern that must be Claude and Claudine. They were all in the kitchen, lounging around all of them apparently waiting for me to get up.

I grabbed a coke from the middle of the table, popping the tab I take a long pull. Alc quickly pulls me down on to his lap wrapping me in a big ole bear hug. I squeal at his sudden movement. Kissing the top of my head he says.

" I thought you might never wake up snow white. You had us all a little worried for the last couple of hours. Before you even ask Jason's still in lock up. Bud said he should be arraigned no later than tomorrow.

Apparently they have enough evidence to charge him with Dawn's murder and yes they took both mine and Janice's statement.

Jason said to watch over you. He was a little worried that you weren't awake when he last called. But I assured him it was just the stress from everything in the last couple of days.

You both have had a hel... heck of a lot of news, and not all of it was good. We took care of everything today. Kept the mourners moving. Quinn and I took a run by Dawns house.

We smelled way to many scents to get a clear scent of the murderer. But we were waiting till later to hit Merlottes and sniff around and see who's scents we smell that shouldn't have been there. Try to eliminate as many of the ones who were supposed to be there.

A few of the trackers are checking out some of the other murders. See if any scents are the same since one of the murders took place in Monroe they would have had different cops and corners. We're hoping something will pan out soon."

Ames hopped off the counter asking

"You hungry Sook, let me fix you something to eat."

With out waiting for an answer from me, she starts piling food that apparently the mourners had been dropping off yesterday and today.

While that was going on Janice was on the phone talking to someone. Quinn, Claude and Fran were deep in a conversation.

I looked over at Claudine as she had a sympathetic smile when she stated.

" Sookie I can feel you aura has changed since yesterday. Do you have any thoughts or questions you would like answered. I may know more now than I did even yesterday."

I took a drink of my coke taking my plate from Ames. I started asking

" Thanks Ames. I can't really think about all this supe stuff now. I'm sorry but Jason just takes priority right now. I'm sure when he's home he'll have a bunch of questions for you.

First and foremost is Jason. As in clearing his name and getting him back home. I'm willing to do what ever it takes including setting my self up as bait for the real killer."

Alc tightened his grip around my waist as I heard all the male voices answer 'no'. Alc growled his no then cleared his throat before saying.

" No you won't be bait for anyone. Jason would kills us if we let you try and trap the real killer. I told you that we have been working on finding the real killer by his scent.

I left a message earlier for the sheriff of area five in Shreveport to come here as soon as possible since all the women that have been murdered here were bitten by a vampire before being found dead.

He should be here shortly after first dark, and yes he is a vampire. He is very old. He's the one we talked about the other night. I am sure he is wanting a solution as much as you do."

At that bit of news,Claude smiles stating.

" I have heard of him. If I am correct he is one of Nialls oldest comrades. He and his maker are the oldest vampires in the states I think. He is renowned for his tracking, fighting and fuc.. other abilities. I think he and his maker were enforcer's at one time."

I was excited at the prospect that this vampire could possibly help get Jason out of trouble. I only hope that he is willing to help us. I wondered aloud asking,

" Do you think he would know who the vampire was that was outside in the grave yard the other night?"

Quinn smiled saying,

"Maybe he could,..."

I felt that prickling sensation of a mind moving closer at a high rate of speed. It wasn't there and then it suddenly appeared like when Claude popped earlier.

When I tried to tune into their thoughts there wasn't any there. I felt something moving inhumanly fast then it was standing at the back door. A short rap led Ames to go answer the door.

"Eric Northman Sheriff of area five here to see Alc."

I heard the most velvety smooth voice I had ever heard. Deep and masculine like Alc's but more authoritative and confident, Ames says.

" Sure come on in. "

She backed away for the vampire room to enter the kitchen. When he came into view I looked up and then up even further. Tall like Alc maybe even taller.

I gasped at the sight of him as Alc tightened his grip around my waist even more. I guess he thinks I'm scared of him since I've never seen a vampire before.

But that's not why I was gasping. This is my tall blonde Adonis from my dream the yesterday morning. I stare at him while everyone else was listening to he and Alc discuss the murders and the similarity's they each had to one another.

I couldn't help but ogle him. I might even be drooling a little. He was definitely more stunning in person then my dreams.

He had a well defined muscular chest, judging by the way his t shirt hugged his form. Not quite as broad shouldered as Alc, but definitely worth a second , even a third look. His face and body could put Michelangelo's David to shame. Mmm yum!

With that smooth as silk voice and that face alone he must have them lining up around the block to date him. But holy smokes add that body to the mix and no one would stand a chance at denying him... well anything.

Between him and Alc, a girl would have to be crazy and blind and completely dead, to even want to look at my brother or any other male for that matter ever again.

I mean my brother might be cute to most of the girls around here. But this Eric and Alc are gods among all men. Alc has always had that tall dark sexy look going for him.

Just like my brother, Alc's never had a night he didn't get an offer for some companionship if he wanted it. Usually getting propositioned by more than one person.

Didn't matter if it was a man or a woman or who he was with at the time. They would still approach him. Alc though was really picky with who he bedded. But with Jason being Jason he never failed to find someone to warm his bed.

But with this hot blonde Nordic sex bomb around now. All bets are off. Eric and Jason have similar builds and both have that blonde hair going for them.

But sis by side Jason wouldn't have a snowballs chance in Hades with any woman after them having seen Eric. I was absolutely positive of that.

For some reason that thought makes me really upset, and not about Jason. But that the hot blonde and Alc, both with the body built for sin dating any one but me. It made my chest hurt something terrible. Almost to the point that I wanted to check and see if someone stabbed me.

I felt a pull to him as soon as I heard his voice. At the exact same time I felt a pull to Alc too. A pull I have never felt before.

Oh lordy it feels so weird kinda like a longing than needs to be comforted. A thirst that desperately needs to be quenched, even a desperation to be held by both of them.

I have never felt like this toward anyone ever before. Now I need them both. I can't seem to get close enough to Alc even sitting on his lap, ever since Eric walked in.

Alc has been holding me tight with one arm, and caressing me every where he could reach with the other hand and it feel delicious. He has never done that before.

Mm it feels so good. Every where he and I are touching feels like millions of tiny flames shooting between us. Alc's big hand is caressing my hip, making my insides feel so hot.

I want desperately to touch or no hold Eric against me and touch him and Alc both. When Eric's huge hand brushes mine, I feel even more sparks. But the sudden jolt in the center of my chest as if I had been branded shocks me.

I can feel everyone's eyes on me and it brings me out of my lust filled haze. I will definitely be asking questions and soon.

I take a peek into Eric's mind to try to see what they've discussed and it's blank. I have so many questions running around in my mind about his quietness to this pulling sensation.

But first my brothers freedom comes first. I listen to them talk and soon I hear the answers to my unasked questions. I lean forward across the table asking Eric.

" Could you explain who these vampires are and why they were in my woods? I mean we um have no vampires that live around here in Bon Temps. At least that I know of.

I mean are they here to murder someone else and then dump them in my woods? Do you know who they are? Can you help us find who did murder these women?"

He looked surprised that I had spoken to him. That irritated me but none the less I wanted answers and he seemed to be the best one to give them to me.

I try to listen in but there is still nothing there. Just blank and blissfully silent. Looking like he read my mind he starts answering.

" Ah. Yes I know all of them. There are three vampire scents and two additional fairy scents that are older than yours I believe Claude.

There is one other scent that I am unfamiliar with. But he is not of this realm and therefore would have no interest in humans. Much less killing several.

And no little one I doubt if the vampires I smelled around here, are here to hurt anyone. Well at least two of them I know wouldn't have dare done it.

Although I am wondering what her highness, the Ancient Pythoness was doing here in the graveyard with Niall Brigant, crowned Prince of the Sky Fae.

There is one other scent that is completely unmistakable for me and I know for a fact that he didn't do it as he is my maker and over1500 years my senior.

He has not killed any humans in several centuries. He must be blocking our bond since I did not know he was in my area."

Eric's toy's with the bracelet on my wrist brushing his long nimble fingers against my skin. The tingling sensation radiating up my arm is very soothing to the feeling in my chest.

I can almost hear Alc purring as Eric mutters that last little bit more to himself than to us. I watch him take a unneeded breath and continue.

" The third vampire scent out there, is that of Bill Compton. Why he is in my area unannounced does lead to suspicion.

But even one at his young age, would be hard pressed to leave all that delectable blood behind, by just choking them, and not draining them dry.

No a vampire did not commit these crimes of this I am most certain. I believe most likely that the killer to be a human.

Possibly it is someone who hates my kind enough to go after our... companions. A cowardly act as he would not survive attacking a vampire outright.

Have any of you {looking at the Weres in the room} gotten close to the bodies or the crime scenes to smell any similar scents besides the police and coroner's? "

Alc looks over at Quinn who just shrugs his shoulders at us. Alc answers

" Yea me and Quinn went over to the last victims place sniffing around. Even taking out all the scents that were supposed to be there, there were still just too many scents to discover who the murderer could be. My pack went over to Monroe sniffing around and they haven't got back to me yet.

We thought we would go to Merlottes later and try to sniff out all the scents we found then try to narrow down the search."

Eric looks at everyone else and asks.

" Does anyone here know of any body relocating here within the last six months or so?"

They all shake their heads no while Janice says after hanging up the phone.

" I just talked with Kenya. While she couldn't offer any new official info in the case against Jason. She did say that three of the women found here are all still currently being held in the morgue waiting for transport to Shreveport.

Maybe we could go visit with Jason and keep Kenya occupied while you all um sniffed around the uh bodies. You might pick up a familiar scent Alc."

I feel that same niggling in my head as it just suddenly appears at the back door with another mind playing on repeat,

' I did it, I did it.'

I hear Eric ask Ames who standing by the back door.

"Please answer the back door and invite him in."

She did as he asked while some of the looked thoroughly confused since there wasn't any knock to be heard. I knew there was someone out there well two someones.

Ames opens the door and invites whoever was out there in. I hear several growls erupt when in walks a very dazed glassy eyed Rene Lanier. We're all surprised to see my fellow waitresses fiance.

But as soon as I see the youthful vampire, I knew he was Eric's maker, and also he was the one I saw sitting at the head of the table with us in my dream.

Eric stood as soon as the young looking vampire walked in. Eric greeted him giving a deep bow

" Master?"

He looks so young and innocent. When he reached out and touched Eric though, you could see his age and the power he possesses in his movements and mannerisms. His voice was full of authority when he answers.

"Yes my child. I was bringing in this human to take to the human authorities to confess when I felt you close by. I received a phone call from Parthia that trouble was coming your way and that I would be needed.

I arrived late last night to where she sent me, to discover several supe smells plus Parthia's own scent along with Niall, Mabs, and Krogens, while searching the woods and cemetery.

I overheard her cries and the details of her brothers arrest and the murders that she said she listened in on him, and that he didn't do it.

When I came back through after my initial search I could tell she was asleep and not alone but I felt like this was why I was called here. I took it upon my self to find the true murderer.

I spent he rest of the evening searching for the killer once I glamored my way into the morgue and smelled his scent. I had found his home just before dawn but I could not rouse anyone in the house to open the door.

Tonight I was on my way to Fangtasia to talk with you when I smelled his scent all around the outside of your bar. I followed his scent and soon I smelled the stench of human fear and death.

Just as I caught up with him, he was leaning over his latest and his last victim, though she did not survive. I was too late to save her.

She apparently had just left Fangtasia when he took her, according to him it is where all his victims came from except for his sister.

She was why he snapped. He has murdered twelve women so far in the last eight days. This is your bar is not Eric? To have this going on under you nose and in your area. I taught you better than that did I not?"

Eric looks down and says,

"I did not know of any murders in my area until tonight. I only returned from the palace night before last. Forgive me Godric, I know that it is no excuse."

Quinn stepped up to Rene grabbing his arm roughly, and growling out,

" You say he's ready to confess, to all the murders, then I'll take him down to jail and hang around till they release Jason, if that's okay with you?

I wont guarantee he won't walk into a few doors between here and there though. I'll make up an excuse as to how I know what happened. Janice, grab a couple of zip ties from the drawer, Fran y'all come with me so I don't kill this asshole. "

Ames jumps up adding.

" I'll go too. Where is the last victim at sir?"

Godric cocked his head to the side looking thoughtful before replying,

" She is behind the dumpster at a Humes Duplexes and Condos. On Crane st here in town. Third building down past the entrance on the right side at the end of the building.

There are three dumpsters she is behind the middle one. Tell them that you saw him take her against her will and followed him.

You lost him at the apartments but you kept searching until you heard him behind the dumpsters. You interrupted him just as he was about to rape her. I left his belt that he strangled her with still wrapped around her neck."

Godric looks directly at Rene. The disgust is very noticeable in his voice as he glamors him.

Rene you are going to go confess now to the local authority's what you have done to all of your victims. You will describe in full detail what you did to each of one of them.

You will repeat it as many times as necessary. You will tell them why you did it. You will tell them that this man and you got into it when he caught you red handed.

You saw him at the same club that you got your victims from. You will leave nothing out and you will never recant your confession to anyone.

You will plead guilty and beg for the death penalty. If you are lucky you will not have to suffer living with vampires for very long."

As they all said their good byes and left. That left just Alc Eric, Claude who hadn't taken his eyes off of Eric.( Grrr) Claudine, who had been staring at Godric since he came in, me and Godric .

Godric sat in the last remaining chair. We sat in silence for what seemed like hours, when actually it was only a few moments that had passed when Godric say's

," My child I see you have met you mates."

Did he just say mates? Jesus Christ Shepard of Judea what's next?
