An: Hello everyone. I am done! I graduated last Friday with honors. Now all I have to do is get a job right. Thank you to everyone that read the last chapter and put it on alert or in your favorites. I am just astounded by the numbers. Thank you to NixAskarlovr, Vanilasweetgirl, murgatroid-98, Fiery teach, pettitgirl, Perfecta999, and those guests that reviewed. You all made my day when I was reading them. To the guests I would have loved to write back to you but I can't send a pm to guests so I will respond to you here. To the first guest thank you. Preston will be a part of this story and her dreams in the future. Sadly I can't leave him out. You will find out who was behind the door in this chapter. I love cliffhangers but I hate making you all wait. To my German guest Ich bin froh, wieder hier zu sein. Es ist einer meiner Lieblings-Geschichten zu schreiben sein. Danke Ich bin froh, fertig sein. Ich hoffe, das macht Sinn. Sie sind die einzige Person, die ich müssen auf Deutsch zu schreiben. To the last guest thank you as well. Random thought I hope I don't need to tell you but if it is italicized it is thoughts. I hope everyone likes this update as much I as I do. I hope to have another chapter up by Friday. It has taken me a bit to get back in the swing of things but I think I found my muse again (Happily dances around computer). Anyway I hope to hear from you, happy reading.

Chapter 12 Telepathy and a Traitor

Godric's Point of View

"Retract your fangs or lose them." I bellow to the room. Everyone in the room slowly pulls out of their daze and conceals their fangs. I drew Sookie forward securely wrapping her in my arms. "This is Sookie, she is ours and you will treat her with the respect that you show me. Sookie this is Stan Davis the vampire King of Texas. To his left is Bubba and in the corner is Franklin Mott." I introduce everyone.

"Now that the little flower has been introduced why don't we get down to business?" King Davis inquiries from behind my desk.

"As I have told many of you Farrell is missing. He was taken by the Fellowship of the Sun. They are holding in at their light of day institute on the southwest side on Dallas. He is in a secured part of the compound. From what I have gathered they are planning to crucify him and have him meet the sun at their Sunday mass." Isobel explained.

"How likely is it that we can retrieve him without drawing attention to ourselves?" Eric asks moving in closer to Sookie.

"I do not think it is wise to send in an army of vampires. We have at our disposal a telepath and a few other humans. We should send them in to find him and retrieve him." Davis interjects. I can feel Sookie shrink back into me at the mention of telepath. Her nerves dissipate almost as quickly as they came when Davis motions for his human to step forward.

Sookie's Point of View

Over the years I have learned to school my face and reactions when I hear something that I shouldn't. Tonight was no exception. The young man standing behind the king of Texas is a telepath. He has to be no more than 19 years old. He has dark brown hair almost black in color. His eyes are crystal blue with a haunted look in them.

"Can you hear me?" I ask in my head.

His eyes dilate for just a second. "Yes I can. Are you like me? I have never met another person who could do this."

"I guess I am. Nether have I. Please don't let the king know what I am. I have enough troubles with the monarch in my own state. I don't need to be pursued by a second." I beg him.

"I won't. I am Barry by the way" He smiles reassuringly. "Who can you read? Can they glamor you? It don't work on me."

"Nice to meet you Barry, I'm Sookie. Humans are the easiest but I can read Weres to. I can't read vampires at all. I think that is why I like them so much. Oh and I can't read fairies either. It doesn't work on me either but can feel it when they try. It's like someone is tickling my brain." I explained.

"I know what you mean. It pissed Stan off that it don't work on me. I have seen to many things to be able to leave now. I didn't know there were fairies. What are they like?" I was about to answer when it seemed the rest of the room had finished their conversation.

Eric was looking at me with concerned eyes. "Sookie you don't have to do this. We can send someone else with Barry."

"No I can do it." I said not knowing what I had agreed to.

"Then it is settled they will go to the Fellowship tomorrow pretending to be engaged and looking for a church." King Davis smiled from his perch. "Why don't you two get to know one another?" He suggested in an obvious dismissal. I follow Barry out of the room and into the hall.

"Let's get something to eat." He said leading me to a small kitchen. I don't know if I could call it a kitchen more of a closet with a fridge and microwave.

Fintan's Point of View

"Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?" The prepubescent Queen asks in a snarl.

"I am Fintan Brigant prince of the sky fae. I got in here by locating my kin whom you happen to be squishing." I answer. "I will tell you this once. Leave my granddaughter alone. You have stolen one from me I will not lose another. Sookie is none of your concern. From this night forth you will forget her existence and your desire to own her. If you don't, you will start a war that you cannot win."

"You can't just come into my palace and order me around. I am a fucking queen. I only wanted Sookie so my sweet Hadley would not be lonely anymore. She misses her family." The little chit tries to lie.

"You may be a fucking queen but you will be nothing more than a pile of goo if you push this. You and I both know that you are after another fairy hybrid to add to you collection." I hiss back.

"What makes you think you can touch me? I could drain you dry before you can so much as move." She boasts stroking Hadley's hair. I am on her before she can react. I snap her neck and remove her fangs. I pocket them as I leave.

Bill's Point of View

I literally wake in a shit hole. It seems the Bon Temps police department is currently experiencing pluming issues. One of Bon Temps finest Kevin comes to the door of my cell with a true blood in hand. "Sorry about the mess. We didn't want to move you while you was asleep. I am to take you up to one of the regular holding cells till the Shreveport vamps can get here. I got your dinner here." He says looking my way giving me the only opening I need.

"Kevin you are going to take me out the back not to another cell. You know I am innocent and you are going to remove the charges. You can't stand to see an innocent man prosecuted." I force my influence on him. He unlocks the door and leads me to the exit.

"Sorry about all this Mr. Compton. I will get this all straightened out." I am out the door and on the road before he can say anything else.

Sookie's Point of View

Standing in the kitchen was a man in a white button down shirt, black slacks, and a black tie. He reminded me of one of those Jehovah's Witnesses. You know the type. He was pouring himself a glass of tea when he noticed us enter the room. "Shit now there are two of them." He thought.

I found this to be an odd thing to think about. I looked to Barry to see if he knew what the man had meant by it. "That's Hugo. He is Isobel's human. He is a real prick, completely obsessed with being turned. He thinks that Isobel doesn't love him cause she won't turn him. He knew what I could do right away. I think Isobel told him. I know that she told him about you. He was going to be the one to go with you to the church but the king thought it was a better idea to have the two of us go instead. He figured I could hear if you needed help."

"How does Isobel know about me? Does anyone else? Cheese and crackers I am in it now." I had a minor melt down.

"I think one of you vamps told her that she needed to make sure it would be quiet for you during the day. All the donors have been kicked out during the day until further notice. Pets to mind you. I got the impression that I am the only known telepath in the area. Please don't worry I won't say nothin'. I like you, it is awesome to talk to someone who understands." I got the notion from him that he had a fantasy brewing in his head about the two of us becoming more than just friends. It seems that I was better at shielding my mind then he was.

"But why would he be worried about two of us? Is he hiding something?" I question.

Hugo answers my question for us when his mind flashes to a scene we were not supposed to see. Hugo was kneeling at an altar with none other than Steven Newland. He was renouncing his ways and being "rebaptized" as a soldier for the light. Hugo's eyes went wide and his face drained of all color as he realized what we had seen. He made to run but Barry was faster. They fell to the ground grappling. As if I had summoned them both, Eric and Godric came charging in to the room.

"What is going on?" Godric asked as Isobel and the rest of the vampires in residence entered the tiny space. "Get off the ground at once." He yelled in a voice I had never heard from him. It was almost frightening. "Little one tell us what happened." He implored in a much softer tone.

"Barry and I just walked into the kitchen. Hugo was pouring the glass of tea that is on the two of them. He just freaked out and Barry tackled him." I said trying my hardest not let on what we heard.

"Isobel restrain your human. Barry what did he think that caused this reaction?" King Davis questioned moving in front of his telepath.

"He is a fucking traitor. He is the reason Farrell is missing. He sold him out to that God forsaken place they are claiming is a church. He is pissed that Isobel won't turn him. He thinks she don't love. He lost his practice because of the hours he has been keeping to spend time with her. He blames her for everything. Oh and it was supposed to be her not Farrell. She didn't show up for one of their dates and sent Farrell to get him instead." Barry narrated much to Hugo's dismay. "He is antsy cause he was supposed to call them twenty minutes ago to tell them how was coming. Last he knew it was supposed to be him and Sookie going in but he didn't know what she looked like so they don't know what she looks like. Only her first name and that she …" He paused to come up with a quick lie. He almost let slip that I was like him. "That she is a fangbanging slut. Sorry Sookie those are his words not mine." He finished.

"Sherriff I will let you handle the punishment in your own house. Barry will be by tomorrow as planed to pick the girl up. Make sure she looks wholesome. Here…" He said throwing me a small velvet box. "See if that fits, if not we can find another one for you to wear." I opened the box to find a small white gold band with a single diamond setting. I never thought that I would be given a ring like this, let alone in this manner. Eric pulled it from the box and slipped in onto my finger. It fit perfectly. It made me think about what it would be like if the ring was really mine and who would be the one giving it to me. My eyes started to water. "Well on that note Barry will be by tomorrow. I will see you tomorrow night." He said to the crowed room taking his leave with Barry tailing behind. Barry gave me a silent goodbye. "I wish I could have done that." He thought wistful.

"Eric, take Sookie to my room. I will be up shortly." Godric dismissed us. I did not want to know what would be in store for Hugo. I almost felt bad for him.
