ERIC POV-

Appius, the sick bastard thought he had everything under control.

The bastard waltzes into town and decides to ruin my life, take my wife and make me marry a barely 100 year-old queen who can't handle her job!

Eric resisted long enough to make it convincing. Allowing Appius and his crew of evil think they had it all under control.

Little did they know, they had nothing!

I called to Sookie through our bond. She knew to expect the call momentarily.

I took the phone Appius handed to me and dialed my beloved, then we waited.

Sookie arrived, in her sundress and sandals looking as young and innocent as she always did- a young human girl who happened to be a telepath.

What no one knew, except me, our allies and her kin was that she was a fae princess, who had fae royal (invisible) guards with her constantly. Appius just needed to threaten her for the fae guards to protect her. The witch's magic wasn't even a factor compared to fae magic. The fae would bind the witches and render their magic useless.

Sookie walks in the room, her guards are already within inches of their prey. The prey will never know what hit them. Sookie steps up to me, bending down to ask, "Eric, are you ok? Let me help you stand."

"Ah, true love, won't save either of you now," gleefully rasps Appius. Of course, he thinks he has the advantage.

Sookie helps Eric stand, her touch healing him instantly, although Appius doesn't see or feel it- no one in the room does, except Eric.

Sookie has covered them and every ally in a protective shield, like what the witch did only more powerful and unbreakable until she releases it. It doesn't drain her unlike the witch who is weaking already. The Fae guards have easily walked through the witches' protection field, with swords drawn against each enemy's neck.

"Come here telepath!" Appius calls to Sookie.

"No", her response.

Appius repeats himself. "I SAID COME HERE NOW TELEPATH."

"AND I SAID NO!" responds Sookie as she puts her hands on her hips.

Appius vampire speeds to stand in front of Sookie and Eric- within a foot of them. "I will make Eric suffer for your defiance," he yells at her.

"You hold no power of ME Appius! I do not answer to your commands!" responds Sookie.

Sookie lets Appius grab her by her arms while commanding her warriors, "Ta-Ne-Ha".

(ATTACK)!

Sookie surprises Appius by lighting up her body- like a light bulb. Appius's hands start to burn and turn to ash. He tries to move but is frozen in place. He tries to speak but his mouth won't open. Meanwhile her warriors have decapitated all enemies. Within seconds there is only Appius, Alexi and Compton still standing, frozen in place- unable to move or speak.

Sookie's warriors move to the perimeter of the room as everyone of Sookie and Eric's allie's breathe a sigh of relief.

Sookie moves to Sophia Ann's child, one of the Norman warriors- lighting her hands blue- and runs them over the warrior's body- he is soon whole and well once more. She commands they bring in his brother-where she heals him whole also. Soon she has everyone in the room healed. Karin is released from Appius's control and relieved to be in Erics arms.

Sookie magically sets the room with seating for everyone- all facing the 3 remaining vampires.

Sookie takes a seat, with Eric at her side, the Queen of Louisiana at Erics' left, the King of Arkansas, at her left, the King of Mississippi at Sookie's right and the King of Indiana at his right. Everyone else is seating behind them.

Sookie looks at the 3, while holding Eric's hand.

"Appius Livis Ocella, why someone didn't end your miserable existence before now is a mystery. But that is something I will rectify today" promises Sookie.

"William Compton, you have run out of chances," she tells him.

"Tsarevich Alexei Romanov, I am sincerely sorry for the suffering you have had to endure in your short and long lives, both before and after you met Appius Livius Ocella, but I promise, your suffering ends today. May you find peace in the afterlife with your family."

One of the fae warriors immediately kills Alexei. Appius unable to move feels the pain of losing his child but can't do anything in reaction.

"Ah, so you would like to speak Appius, well of course, never let it be said that I executed someone without letting them have their last thoughts heard."

With a wave of her hand

"ERIC, I COMMAND YOU TO KILL THE TELEPATH!" yells Appius.

After a moment of silence, everyone in the room laughs!

"Really Appius? Have you not figured out that you have lost. You have no power over Eric any longer. Eric is MINE! MY lover, MY husband, MY warrior, MY prince, My bonded. MY EVERYTHING. And I WON'T share him with anyone!"

"NO, HE IS MINE!" screams Appius.

"Really, because he hasn't been yours for centuries."

Sookie waves her hand again- shutting Appius down.

"So, just in case you were wondering- I am Sookie Stackhouse, human telepath. At least to humans, anyway, laughs Sookie. But to supernatural's, I am, SUSANA ELANA BRIGANT, PRINCESS OF THE FAE."

Appius stares at Sookie as she transforms into her true self- a full-blooded Fae Warrior princess.

"Wish I could say it has been a pleasure meeting you, but I can honestly say it hasn't!" states Sookie as she sits back.

"I am your judge and Eric will be your executioner by the way. These fine people are your jury. You stand before us for the many crimes you have committed in your lifetime- both as a human and as a vampire."

"The jury please stand, as you all have seen firsthand, Appius Livius Ocella's actions here today, and we can all assume he has done worst in both his human and vampire lives, how do you find the defendant?"

They all respond the same way, "Guilty!"

"Well then Appius, there you have it, you have been found guilty of crimes against humanity and vampire. You have been found guilty of interfering between a bonded couple. You have been found guilty of assaulting a Fae Princess and her mate. Appius LIvius Ocella, you are hereby sentenced to your true death."

"Eric, If you would my love."

Eric takes his Viking sword from his back, and he slowly walks up to Appius.

"So, Appius, quite the performance, huh? I certainly had you fooled. I want to thank you for being such an arrogant, ignorant, egotistical vampire- you made this fun, and I am Sookie's!" with that Eric takes one powerful swing- ending Appius permanently. They all watch as Appius collapses and then flakes away.

"William Compton, you have been found guilty of crimes against the Fae monarchy, vampire society, your Queen, Sophia Anne Leclerq, and human society. You are hereby sentenced to 100 years in silver without feeding, then you will be staked out in the sun to burn to death."

Sookie magics in a silver coffin and wraps Compton with pure silver chains. The coffin is magically sealed and vanishes from sight.

Sookie stands and looks at the crowd. "Well, let's get this party started!"

The End
