Chapter 14 Out with a Bang

Sophie Anne's Point of View

I came to with Hadley shrieking and my mouth dripping with my own blood. MY FANGS! This means war. I will make that fairy rue the day he decided to come into my place and steel my fangs. "Hadley, Darling its fine they will grow back." I try to shush her.

"That is so gross. Did they fall out? OH MY GOD! You can't bite me now." She continued.

"Hadley it will be ok. I can still do other things with you."

"The hell you will. You are not bringing that anywhere near me." She screamed running out of the room.

I called Andre to me. He came quickly. "My queen." He bowed at the door.

"Go get Hadley and bring her back." I order. His eyes go wide when he sees my teeth. "Just do it and get a knife." Hadley will just have to get used to feeding me another way. Ten minutes later Andre returns empty handed. "Where is she?"

"She's gone." He replies.

"What do you mean gone?" Not only did he steal my teeth he has lost me my Hadley.

"We have searched the entire palace. There is no sign of her it's like she vanished."

"Then find her. I don't care how long it takes you will bring her back. Go now." I fume.

Sookie's Point of View

Barry and I sat there listing to the hatred spill from everyone around us for hours. It was one of the longest services I had ever sat through. Listening to Steven Newlin made me realize just how fucked up the situation we were in was. This hate monger had the entire congregation eating out of his hands including the children. It made me shudder to think what would become of them. One little girls mind made me want to cry. She was so scared to tell her parents that she did not like it here that she had quit talking. Her father had been beating her trying to make her speak. I could feel it as his belt came down on her back in her memories. At this point I did not need to fake feeling sick. I made my way to the door passing an usher on the way out. I ran to the bathroom finding a stall and emptied my stomach. "Sookie are you all right?" Barry questioned.

"I don't have to fake being sick now." I tried to joke between heaves.

"I will be right there. Just wait for me." He sounded so concerned. Before he could get to me the door to the bathroom opened. A mind I had not expected to find in this building entered. A mass of snarly red, a were but what kind.

"Honey are you alright?" Came a concerned voice from the other side of the stall door.

"I'm fine, just a little sick." I called back.

"I'll go get you some water. Wait here." The were left returning with Barry in tow. I was washing my mouth out in the sink when they burst through the door.

"Here you go sug. This will help." She handed me a plastic glass and a mint. "Your man there is worried about you." She smiled. "I never seen them before. She don't look like one these crazy bible thumper. I bet she is pregnant and hasn't told him."

"I'm not." I answered her thought. Her eyes grew wide but she shook it off, taking a deep breath. Her face changed in an instant.

"You shouldn't be here it's not safe." "What is a girl like her doing here?" She could smell Eric and Godric's blood in me.

"We are trying to find a friend of ours who went missing." Barry explained.

"If you are after the "special" guest they have in the basement. You need to go now you won't be able to get to him in about 10 minutes." I was surprised at her help.

"What are you?" I asked.

"A girl just like you, that should not be here. Come on I will take you two down there but you got to hurry. Do you have a car you can get him into? One of you should pull it up to the back by the lower entrance." We looked at her stunned for no more than a second and then we were moving. Barry against his better judgment went to move the car. I followed the mystery where down to where they were keeping Farrell. It was almost creepy how silent this part of the building was. I had expected someone to be guarding him but there was no one around. I could feel him almost as soon as we left the main part of the church. His mind was quiet like all vampires are. He was sitting huddled in the corner of a room. He appeared to be awake. It must have been later in the day then I thought.

"Farrell I am here to help you. Godric sent me. Can you walk?" I cautiously approached him.

"Yes." He stood to his full height. He reminded me of what a real cowboy looked like. The only thing missing was his hat. I turned around to ask the were how to get out when I hear a man's voice in the hall.

"Luna what are you doing down here?"

"Sarah sent me to make sure he was not moving around." Luna answered.

"It's not like he can go anywhere the door is made of silver." He laughed. This man's mind was awful. He was looking at Luna like she was something to eat, imaging all sorts of horrible things he wanted to do to her. "Why don't we get out of here we can spend a little more time together." I could almost feel the leer I know was showing on his face. I gasped. "What was that?"

"Nothing Gabe, probably just the fanger. Let's go to your office." Luna implored trying to lead him away. I sent a silent thank when he followed her back to the stairs and out.

"I think we can leave now." I whispered. I pushed the door open and looked down the hall. At the far end was a door leading outside. I could see that the sun was almost set.

"I can't go out there yet."

"Um ok we can wait. It's almost down." I prayed no one would find us while we did.

"Sookie where are you?" Barry yelled in my head.

"We can't come out till the sun is all the way down. Are you by the door?"

"It clouded up while we were inside I think you could make it. I don't think we should stay any longer. People are starting to come out." I could see from his mind that people were streaming out of the building heading to their cars.

"Let's go." I said taking Farrell's hand. The sky was rapidly darkening. I was glad to see Barry with the car running and the doors open. I ushered Farrell to the back seat helping him in. I handed him a cooler full of bagged blood. "I am sorry it's not fresh." As I climbed in the front I heard a scream of pure frustration. Running from the door we had just left was Gabe. "Drive Barry, drive." He speed off, getting into the flow of traffic. We made it to the exit of the parking lot but it seemed we were being followed. An SUV was barreling down on us. As we crossed an intersection it slammed into us from behind. Barry did not stop he pushed the car to keep going. The SUV rammed us a second and third time finally spinning us into another car. I hit my head on the dash board and blacked out. I came to lying in on a hard bead, with Eric, Godric and Barry staring at me. I could hear beeps coming from the machine next to me. I tried to sit up but the world started to spin. I groaned.

"Lover you need to stay down. You have not held yet." Eric stroked my face.

"Little one you gave us a scare. How are you feeling?" Godric asked moving to lie next to me.

"My head is killing me. Barry what happened?" I questioned looking to my fellow telepath.

"Well after Gabe hit us the third time we crashed into another car. You split your head open and passed out. Someone called the cops and they brought us in to the hospital. Gabe was arrested for reckless driving. Bobby called these two after the first hit he was following us. They meet us here." He explained taking a seat.

"Where is Farrell? I hope Barry is ok." Barry answered my questions before I could ask.

"He's recovering back at the nest and I am fine just a few scratches." He smiled at me.

"Can we leave?" I looked to my guys.

"Bobby is working on get you released." Eric answered. Just then a doctor came through the door followed by Bobby.

"Miss Stackhouse how are you feeling? I need to just do a few checks to make sure you are ok before I can let you go." He smiled at me. He had me follow a light with my eyes, and checked my other vitals. Turning to Barry who was still pretending to be my fiancé he said "She looks ok to go. Make sure to have her get to her regular doctor at home sometime this week." He turned back to me. "Next time make sure you are wearing your seat belt. I will have a nurse in to get you all unhooked." He left the room. Thirty minutes later we were in a SUV heading back to Godric's nest. A party was in full swing when we walked in. It seemed they were celebrating the return of their nest brother. Eric carried me upstairs to get cleaned up while Godric entertained his guests.

"Lover I want you to take some more of my blood. It will help you heal more quickly. I can't stand to see those bruises on your face." He said softly as he sat me down on the edge of the tub.

"Ok but can you just rub in on my face?" I asked tiredly.

"Whatever you want." He responded pricking his finger on a fang and rubbing it around my face in gentle circles. I could feel my face relaxing. He then helped me out of the scrubs the hospital gave me. He sat me in the tube and divested himself of his own cloths. He climbed in behind me and helped me wash. He took extra care rinsing my hair. I was completely relaxed when he finished, almost falling asleep. He stood from the tub covering himself with a towel. He lifted me out of the tub and wrapped me in the fluffiest white towel. I had not expected this side from Eric. During the whole bath I was waiting for him to make a move or crack a joke but he did not. He was the perfect gentleman He carried me over to the vanity and started to brush out my hair.

"You know I can walk." I sassed.

"Yes but I wanted to carry you. I could do nothing when you were being taken to the hospital. I felt like I failed to protect you. Let me do this." I closed my eyes and nodded my head. If this is what he needed then so be it. Eric carefully braided my hair into an up do. He then turned me around to do my makeup.

"You are going to have to teach me how you do this." I smiled at him in the mirror.

"I plan to teach you many things Lover but they will have to wait." He kissed my neck. "Let's get dressed. There is someone down stairs who wants to thank you." Laded out on the bed was a beautiful dark brown dress. I picked it up and noticed the back was a series of golden chains that held the dress together. On the floor was a pair of the highest, glittery gold heels. It was totally something Eric would pick for me knowing I could not wear a bar. I shook my head and got dressed. Eric donned a light blue cashmere sweater that matched his eyes and black trousers. I blushed thinking how hot he looked. He smirked at me and took my hand. The room stilled as we descended the stairs. Godric met us at the bottom taking my other hand and looping it through his arm. The party goers went back to their revelry. My guys lead me to the middle of the room where Farrell was standing talking to King Davis.

"There is my little golden savior." He greeted me. "Thank you for getting me out of there."

"You're welcome but Barry helped too." I blushed at the attention.

"He did but I have already thanked him." He smiled at me. "Would you two mind if I took a turn around the dance floor with my little golden savior?" He asked the guys. Godric placed my hand into Farrell's. He led me to where other couples were dancing. "I cannot thank you enough for saving me. I was sure I would die the true death in that place." He spoke spinning me around gracefully. "If I were strait and you were not taken I would spend weeks showing you just how grateful I am." My blush intensified spreading down my neck. I had been so distracted that I had not noticed my shields were down. I picked up on something outside just as Barry had. Someone was counting.

"GET DOWN!" He yelled. Every vampire hit the floor. Farrell pushed me to the floor covering me as a rain gunshots exploded through the house.
