This chapter is not written in Alyssa's POV. It is the only one that wont be, but this was the only way I could see to do this chapter without just skipping past a whole bunch of stuff.

Evan woke up in the morning and knew almost instantly that something was wrong. Hastily throwing on her house coat, Evan rushed into her sister's room. Her hand flew to her mouth and her heart raced when she saw that her sister was missing. The sun had risen hours ago so she should have been home. The sheets were tangled showing that she had been sleeping there at one point. Evan ran back into her room to check her phone, hoping desperately that Alyssa had left her a message. When none were there she called Alyssa's phone. Evan's heart sank in her chest at the sound of her sister's ring tone chiming in the other room.

She had been home then, but sometime between being dropped off by Godric and now she had disappeared. Evan searched around the apartment for some sign of what could have happened. Had there perhaps been another emergency that had caused her to rush out without her phone again? Evan dialed the number for Fangtasia with shaking fingers. It went to voicemail after ringing for what felt like an eternity.

"Hi, this is Alyssa's sister Evan. You need to call me back as soon as you get this. Alyssa is missing and I need to know if you know where she is" Evan's voice shook over the line as she rattled off her phone number. She knew the vampires wouldn't be up until much later in the day but they were probably her best bet at finding her sister.

Evan had to force herself not to cry. She would find her sister. Whatever had happened, Evan had to keep telling herself that Alyssa would make it home safe and in one piece. She didn't think she would be able to function if she allowed herself to think of any of the other alternatives.

Evan told herself it was possible that Alyssa would walk through the door at any minute, apologizing for forgetting her phone again. So Evan waited, just in case. She made breakfast including a bit for her sister in case she wanted some when she got home. When the pancakes started to get cold Evan put them in the fridge, dumping her own syrup soaked ones in the garbage. Evan went and got dressed, spending extra time on her hair. But when lunch time rolled around and still there had been no sign of Alyssa, Evan admitted she had just been stalling.

So she went down to the police station to file a missing persons report but the cop was entirely unhelpful. He had no sympathy for Evan and just told her she had probably gone out with friends and crashed there or met a boy. Evan denied these theories outright. Alyssa had friends, sure. But she rarely went out with them and besides she had been home at one point. The officer put forth his theory about her sneaking out to see a boy again but Evan vehemently shook her head. The only boy she would be sneaking out to see, she explained, was Godric and considering he was certainly not awake and had in fact walked her home, he seemed an unlikely culprit.

The police officer had clearly drawn his own conclusions but started asking questions so that she could file a report. But when he circled back to asking about her involvement with the vampires and didn't take any other grim possibilities into account, Evan called it off. The last thing she needed was for them to investigate Godric and the others. She needed their help more than she needed to file a missing persons report. Evan pretended that she had seen the officer's point and would wait a little while longer to file the report. The officer seemed overly satisfied with her conclusion and Evan stormed out before she made some unhelpful comments about his work ethic.

Evan stood outside the police office trying to decide what her next move was when her cellphone buzzed in her pocket. The hope that had risen in her chest at the thought that Alyssa could be calling her died as she saw an unfamiliar number flash across the screen.

"Hello?" She answered, walking down the street if only to keep moving.

Godric's usually smooth voice was tense as he spoke "Evan. Tell me what you know" he ordered.

Evan gaped for a moment. The sun was still bright and high in the sky, how was he awake and talking to her? "Ah, not much really. I woke up and Alyssa was gone. Her cell phone was still there and she had been sleeping in her bed."

Godric cursed in a language Evan didn't recognize "I need you to come to Fangtasia immediately. Are you able to do that?"

Evan nodded even though he couldn't see and promised to be there as soon as she could. She waved down the nearest cab and gave him the address. "It's very important that I get there as quickly as possible" she urged him.

If the cab driver drove any faster than usual Evan certainly didn't notice. It felt like an eternity before they were pulling into the deserted parking lot of Fangtasia. She hastily passed the cab driver a couple of bills without waiting for him to tell her how much she owed him. She was pulling the door open a moment later. As soon as the door shut Godric was standing in front of her. A thin trail of blood was running down his nose.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Evan asked, touching her own nose to show what she meant.
Godric raised his hand to wipe the blood away "I am not injured. But I am up before it is normal and therefore have day-bleeds. It is not important" Godric explained, waving away her concern.

Evan nodded, willing to put the matter aside. It was far more important to figure out where her sister was rather than worry about Godric being up early.

"I was woken this afternoon because of my bond with Alyssa. It was then that I got your message and one other one. You should hear it, child" Godric informed her as he turned to lead her to the telephone that hung on the wall.

Evan decided it was not the time to correct him in calling her 'child'. They had more important things to do. Godric pressed a couple of buttons on the phone and held it out between them. She first heard her message play off and then:

"Fangers, we have your slut. If you want her to live, then you will come to us to be sacrificed. If not, well, maybe the fang banging slut won't mind being used a bit before we slit her throat tomorrow morning." A guttural man's voice sneered.

Evan's hands covered her mouth in shock "who are they? Oh my god, what are we going to do? Godric we have to save her!"

Godric's face told her that whatever they did, it was not going to be good. "I believe they are the fellowship of the sun. Perhaps you have heard of them on the news? They are a church against vampires known for their radical- frequently violent- methods" the look of murderous intention on his face somehow made Evan feel better. She was not alone then, in being determined to get her sister back at all costs.

"What's our game plan?" Evan demanded.

Godric pinched the bridge of his nose and scowled at the floor. After a moment he took a deep breath and regarded her thoughtfully. "I had planned to simply exchange myself for your sister."

Evan shook her head "you can't do that Godric. There must be another way to save her. Alyssa would kill us both if you did that. No, we'll come up with something else."

Godric had thought Alyssa's sister would say something along those lines. A part of him was glad to have her to help figure out their next moves. He would have gladly turned himself over in order to release the young bartender but Evan was right, she would have been furious. More to the point was the look on her face several nights before when she had said that one of those painful memories she had been using to channel her powers was when he had been prepared to meet the sun. He would make sure she returned safely and her captors would quickly learn what it meant to threaten those close to him. It would be a lengthy endeavor, to properly show them, but he found himself grimly plotting what he could do to them after he had Alyssa back even as he tried to figure out how he would do that.

There was the chance, Evan had pointed out that simply storming the church could lead to them killing Alyssa or hurting her to make them stop. And then they would have Alyssa and Godric. So they would have to make sure she was safe first.

Eric had forced himself up to join them and he added his two-cents-worth to the conversation. It wasn't until he thought of calling Sookie to help that they started to make progress. Eric had proposed sending Sookie in while the sun was still out in order to scout out the church. They might know what Evan looked like so she would have to wait with the vampires. Sookie agreed immediately to help and was off from Bon Temps as soon as she hung up the phone. She would be cutting it close to sundown by the time she was able to get there and scout around. Eric allotted her an hour to find her way around before they would start to worry. When they heard from Sookie it would be a short drive to the church which was based several towns over. They would first secure Alyssa and then deal with the church members.

Evan was not happy to have to wait. She couldn't stand it in fact and spent the majority of the time pacing up and down the small apartment underneath Fangtasia. She snapped out questions every couple of minutes, wondering about how they would prepare.

"I want a gun. Eric, get me a gun" Evan demanded, turning a cold glare onto the tall vampire.

Eric raised an eyebrow curiously at her "do you even know how to fire a gun?"

Evan shrugged "I've seen it done. You just point, aim, and squeeze the trigger. I know there's a kick-back and you can just show me how to reload it."

Eric crossed his arms "it's not that easy, human. And you do not need a gun."

"You don't know that! I want to be able to protect myself and my sister. Give me a gun Eric!" Evan snapped at him, stamping her foot angrily.

"Just give the girl one of your pistols, Eric. She may need it yet. At least armed, we will not have to watch her as well as retrieve her sister." Godric sighed in frustration.

Eric pressed his lips into a thin line, making it clear he did not agree with arming the teenage girl with a weapon she did not know how to use. But he zipped away at his maker's behest and returned a moment later with a thick black pistol in his hand. Voice strained, he explained the workings of the gun and had Evan demonstrate the proper firing stance several times over. The last thing they needed, he thought, was for her to knock herself on her ass while trying to defend herself.

Pam had watched the lot of them from the comfort of a couch. She sat reclined in the couch, her face the picture of bored relaxation. But the tension in her shoulders and the too-tight grip of her fingers around her glass belied the apparent comfort.

Godric was growing frustrated with waiting idly by while who knows what happened to his Alyssa. He probed their bond every couple of minutes to monitor her. She was tense and scared but he could sense a ball of anger in her. There was a sudden spike in her fear along with the sharp sensation of pain. He could not stand knowing she was feeling these things and being helpless. With an angry snarl he picked up a glass vase and threw it across the room. It shattered in a spray of water and glass. Godric's fists clenched and unclenched at his sides, a ferocious expression on his face. The three others regarded him in surprise.

It had been a long time since Eric had seen his maker react in such a way and a small part of him, underneath the concern for the human he had begun to like, was glad to see his maker showing emotion once again. Godric had been acting much differently in the past couple of weeks. He had been making quite a turn around since the rooftop incident. But he had noticed a marked difference in his demeanor whenever Alyssa was present. When she was not there the neutral mask Godric had been wearing for nearly a century had a habit of falling back into place. He was more talkative and lively, there was no doubt. But when the strange human was present, it was like the Godric he had known was back as well. He teased Eric and Pam, smiled and laughed even. It had been too long since he had last seen his maker laugh. He was not sure what Alyssa was nor what she was doing to his maker, but he was thankful. That, Eric realized, made it all the more important that they get the girl back.

His cell phone finally buzzed in his pocket making everyone watch expectantly as he quickly answered and put the phone on speaker.

"Sookie" Eric greeted.

Sookie's voice came through the phone, her tone reflecting the tense atmosphere in the apartment. "I'm a few minutes away from the church I just pulled over but I'm heading to you guys as soon as I hang up. They're getting ready for vampires for sure. They wouldn't tell me what was happening but there's silver everywhere and everyone is armed with stakes" Sookie warned.

No one was surprised by the news, it only made sense that they would be preparing for angry vampires. Evan knew it wouldn't make a difference to the three vampires, some silver and stakes wouldn't stop them from charging in there to rescue her sister. But they would have to be careful if they wanted to avoid being captured in the process. All it would take was a silver net dropped on them and they would be done for. Everyone would have to be watching each others back.

"Did you see where they are keeping Alyssa?" Godric questioned.

"Not exactly. I know they're keeping her in the basement. There's a door that locks from the inside and everyone was pretty careful to steer clear of it. I caught a man thinking about her though. They're keeping her in a storage closet down there, there will be a couple of people guarding the door" Sookie informed them.

Evan thought the information over "what are we going to do then? Walking in the front door isn't going to get us very far. They'll have you guys wrapped in silver in no time."

"Why don't Evan and I sneak in? I can say I forgot my purse there" Sookie suggested.

Eric was the first to add to her idea "Pam will join you in case you run into trouble. Godric and I will break into the basement while they are busy and dispatch whoever is guarding Alyssa."

Sookie promised to be there as soon as she could as it was only a short drive from the church to Shreveport. They hashed out the details of their plan as they waited for Sookie's arrival, glad to finally have something solid to focus on.

The sound of the door above them slamming open caught everyone's attention and they rushed up to meet Sookie. She drew out a map of the church, pointing out several locations she thought would be good for the vampires to slip into the basement. The sun had started to set by the time they were confident in their plans. As soon as it was safe for the vampires to go outside, Eric and Godric scooped the humans into their arms and the group set off as fast as they were able in the direction of the fellowship of the sun.

It was a fairly small church, an echo of the main one in Dallas. They stopped at the driveway and the women set off for the front door. There were still a handful of cars parked in the lot and the church was lit up like it was still the middle of the day. Sookie pushed the large wooden doors open and peeked her head inside.

"Hello?" She called out and the trio waited as footsteps approached.

"Well hi there! It was Sookie, right? What brings you back at such a late hour?" A friendly male voice answered.

He was slim and dressed in worn jeans and a fellowship t-shirt. His smile faltered slightly as he took in the two women on either side of Sookie.

"Sorry to bother y'all. It's just that I left my purse here I think and as it's got my cellphone in it, it's pretty important I find it" Sookie informed him.

He considered her for a moment and stepped aside to let the three into the church. "Well in that case, I'm glad I stayed late. I haven't seen it around here but you're welcome to look. Who are your friends here?"

Sookie put on an embarrassed expression "oh how rude of me! This is my cousin Alice and my roommate Tracy! Tracy had to drive us here, you see, on account of me not having my license. And Alice happens to be visiting from Dallas and wanted to tag along!" Sookie introduced.

"I'm a member of the Fellowship there and I just couldn't resist visiting yours while I was in town" Pam drawled with a fake smile.

The man seemed convinced enough but Sookie delved into his mind to be sure. He was too preoccupied with the preparations for Godric coming to pay much attention to three girls. She had been convincing enough earlier, she realized, that he didn't think of her as anything more than a pretty- if not a bit daft- girl who had learned about vampires the hard way.

He motioned them in and suggested several spots for Sookie to look before walking away down the hall. Watched him until she was sure he was out of sight. They went about 'searching' for several minutes to give Godric and Eric some time to get ready before they put their plan into motion. Pam made a show of checking the balcony that overlooked the top of the church. With a dramatic sigh she pulled herself over the edge of the balcony and brought herself down to dangle. It would have been hard to execute if someone had been watching them since it wasn't very common for someone to lean over the balcony and fall. But with no one paying much attention to the three girls, it wouldn't raise any eyebrows until it was too late. When Pam was satisfied with how precariously she was dangling from the railing she let out a high pitched scream. Sookie and Evan echoed it a moment later and ran over to her.

Footsteps pounded down the hallway and a small crowd burst into the room.

"Oh my god! Help! Alice! Hold on!" Sookie screamed, reaching up her arms as if to try and reach the blond vampire.

Evan turned to face the crowd with her most panicked expression "Someone do something! Please! Before she falls!"

Pam made a show of one of her hands slipping off the bars. The people watching gasped and rushed forward. Two shot up the stairs with the intention of reaching over to grab her. With everyone effectively distracted, Pam sent Eric his cue.

Godric and Eric had found a window that would be big enough for them both to fit through at the rear of the building. It would be a tight squeeze for Eric especially but he knew he could manage. The window was attached to what looked like a rec room. The lights were off but streetlights surrounded the church and cast some light into the room below. It would be the perfect entrance point for them once Pam let them know that the humans on the main floor were distracted. The waiting was killing Godric. Every second they waited was another second that Alyssa was in danger. He had been feeling spikes of panic and fear since he had first woken and it felt as if each pang gnawed at his insides. It was his fault that his human was in danger again.

Godric tried to occupy his mind in trying to pinpoint at what time he had started thinking of the woman as his. She was not, nor did he think she would particularly like the idea of him claiming her. But regardless of this knowledge he couldn't help but claim her if only in his own mind.

She had awoken feelings in him that had been dormant for almost a century. Never before had he felt such a desire to mark a human as his. Not since the making of his progenies had he felt so protective of someone.

Eric giving him a thumbs up shook him from his thoughts. It was time to move, he could contemplate these new changes when Alyssa was safe once again.

Eric removed his jacket and wrapped it around his fist to quiet the shattering of the window. He spared a few seconds to clear the majority of glass out of the frame before sliding through. It was an awkward procedure as his shoulders hardly fit. But once in, he dusted the glass from his clothes, the minor scrapes they had caused healing almost instantly and stepped aside for his maker.

Godric slid through with considerably more grace and didn't pause before stalking over to the door. Eric at the ready, Godric reached to swing the door open.

Alyssa's scream rang down the hallway and sent a chill down Godric's spine. Both vampire's fangs dropped down with a hiss and they burst through the door and into the hallway beyond.

A/N: So! What do you think? It's the Fellowship! Not the same church as the one in the series, but a sister-church sort of thing. Same idea, different location. Have I done a decent job at writing in a different perspective? What do you think will happen next? What have they done to Alyssa?! I always love to hear from you so please leave me a review with your thoughts.
