We don’t get much sleep but it was better than nothing. Too early the next morning Steve and Gabe return.
“Morning, how did y’all sleep”, Steve asks as he pushes some water bottles into the storage area.
“Oh it was just what I needed. It was great being away from the hate in that house”, I say sarcastically.
He glares at me while Sookie tells him how there’s gonna be someone coming to rescue us.
“Yeah that’s what I thought. Figured you would have some vampire coming to your rescue. We were actually hoping for it weren’t we Gabe”, he says.
“Yes, sir. Bring it on”, Gabe replied.
Steve continued, “We’ve been ready for an attack for a long time”.
“You’re gonna get yourself killed”, Sookie tells them.
Steve sighs, “They’ve got you all twisted up, don’t they? With their glamouring and empty promises and evil blood”.
“You’re the ones who are twisted. You call yourself Christians? Jesus would be ashamed of you”, Sookie says to them angrily.
“There’s no point in arguing with idiots”, I tell her.
“I spent all morning praying that you would better this morning. Yet it doesn’t seem that it’s done you any good. Maybe you’ll feel better tomorrow morning when we get rid of that monster you like down there”, Steve directs my way.
I just snort and turn away to ignore him.
I can hear him pull out a chair to sit down, “Now, things got a little out of hand last night and I apologize for that. All I need is to ask you some questions then I’ll be more than happy to send you one your way”.
“What do you want to know”, Hugo asks finally speaking up.
“Shut up”, Sookie tries.
“We need to get out of here. Just tell them what they need to know”, he tells her. Then he addresses Steve, “Her name is Sookie Stackhouse and I’m Hugo Ayers. We were sent by the vampires of Area 9 to find their sheriff”.
“Sookie Stackhouse. From Bon Temps”, Steve asks.
“How do you know where I’m from”, Sookie asks confused.
“You’re Jason Stackhouse’s sister. Am I right”?
“You know Jason? He’s got nothing to do with this”, she tries telling them.
“Come on, Gabe”, Steve says and they leave.
“Well that’s just great”, I state.
“Why is my brother here”, she asks turning to me.
“Apparently he joined the church. He went to a leadership camp a few weeks ago and then came home with Steve and Sarah. He’s been staying there for at least two weeks now. Him and Steve have been pretty close as well”, I tell her.
“Great work Hugo”, Sookie says.
“Hey, we waited all night for your boyfriend to show up. You can play damsel in distress all you want, but I’m getting us out of here”, he replies.
“No, all you did was make it worse. They’ll never see you as anything other than a fangbanger so you might as well get used to it down here”, I tell him.
“I’m going to get help I met another telepath maybe if he can hear me he can get a message to Bill for me”, she says sitting down.
“What do you know about me”, he asks turning to me.
“I know you’re a vampire’s human and that you’re a traitor”, I tell him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”, he says but I can tell he’s lying even if I hadn’t already known.
“I’ve spent the good part of a month with Godric; did you think he wouldn’t or couldn’t hear you when you were telling all those secrets to Steve”, I ask him seriously. He looks ashamed of himself so I continue, “Why would you tell them any of it”?
“I love Isabel. She’s the most amazing woman I’ve ever known but I know I’m going to get old and leave her. I asked her to turn me so I could stay with her but she said no”, he tells me.
“That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard”, Sookie tells him.
“I wanted to be equals with her but she doesn’t want that. She’s just been using me. They don’t care about anyone but their own kind. So I came to the church because they would respect me for caring about our kind”, he tells her.
“So if the Newlins care so much about you, how come you’re still in here”, she asks.
“I had to keep my cover didn’t I”?
“You’re almost as much of an idiot as Steve is”, I tell him.
He gets up and calls for Gabe telling that we knew everything and they could let him out now. Of course no one came in. When he looks back at us I can see the panic on his face and give him an “I told you so” look.
The day went by slowly as we waited for the sun to set. I spent a lot of the time watching Sookie pace worried about her brother and listening to Hugo call for Gabe to let him out. Then something stood out to me about the vision but I couldn’t quite remember what the sign said.
“Sookie can you help me for a second”, I ask her.
“Sure what do you need”?
“Your hands actually”, I tell her.
She looks confused for a moment and I hold out my own hands to her. I think there was something on the ground of the roof. If I can see it maybe it will help me figure out where it will happen.
She nods and places her hands in my own. The vision doesn’t come immediately I have to tug at my memory. When it finally appears I move over to the edge of the roof and climb up so I’m elevated a bit off the roof. When I look down I can see two words “Hotel Carmilla”. If I remember correctly that’s one of the vampire hotels that my brother has been complaining about.
Sookie pulls her hands away, “That’s the hotel I’ve been staying at with Bill and Eric. I know Godric has a house so why would..”.
Hush what if he’s not asleep.
She nods, “Sorry”.
The rest of the day is spent in silence each of us thinking about what is going to come in the next few hours.
We’re all startled when Gabe comes storming through the door disheveled. He comes to our cage and opens it.
“Thank goodness they know everything. What happened to your face”, Hugo asks. “I hope the reverend knows I’m gonna need protection now”.
Gabe punches him in the face, “You want protection you fangbanging sack of shit”? He kicks Hugo as well when he beings to stand.
He continues to punch him until Sookie decides to jump on his back, “Stop it”!
He gets her off pretty quickly holding against one of the shelves in the room, “You and your moron brother think you can make an asshole out of me”?
He has his hands around her neck and tells him, “Get your filthy hands off of me”!
“What’s wrong? Your own kind not good enough for you? How about I show you what you’ve been missing” he asks before throwing her to the ground.
I had been standing out of the way so far but with what he had planned I just couldn’t. I look around and grab the closest thing to me which turned out to be a book. I move forward and hit him as hard as I can on his head, “Leave her alone”.
He recovers quickly and stands before hitting me and I hit the corner of the only table in the area dropping to the ground.
“Maybe after I show her I’ll give you a taste of what you’ll be giving up for that vampi..”, he chokes off and when I open my eyes everything is spinning but I can tell someone grabbed him and I can only assume it was Godric.
“Godric”, I hear Sookie ask.
I hear Gabe as well, “Godric, it’s me”.
I then hear something snap and what sounds like a person hitting the ground.
“You should not have come”, he tells her. “Can you open your eyes young one”, he asks as I feel his cool hands on my face.
I try and thankfully everything has stopped spinning. He helps me to sit up but I stop it there as I get dizzy again, “Just give me a minute”.
Suddenly there is screaming upstairs and we can hear running, “Bill”, Sookie says.
Godric stands and his eyes close, “No. I’m here, my child. Down here”.
There’s a whoosh like sound and suddenly the blond vampire; Eric my memory reminds me, from my vision is standing in front of Godric.
“Godric”, he says as he goes down on one knee before him.
“You were a fool for sending humans after me”, Godric scolds the other vampire lightly.
“I had no other choice. These savages, they.. they seek to destroy you”, he explains himself.
“I’m aware of what they have planned. This one betrayed us”, he says motioning to Hugo who is unconscious not far from me.
“He’s with the Fellowship. They set a trap for us”, Sookie tells him.
“How long has it been since you fed”, Eric asks.
“I require very little blood anymore and even if I didn’t I had a friend here who brought me Tru Blood”, Godric informs him his eyes drifting to me for a moment.
Eric’s eyes move over to me as well. His look was calculating and confused.
An alarm begins to blare along with flashing lights. I wince slightly the combination of the two causing the headache that had begun to settle to come back full force.
“Save the humans”, he instructs Eric.
Eric’s eyes move back to me, “Why does she need saving”, he asks Godric.
Godric’s eyes harden as he bites out, “She is mine and you will get her out along with the other”.
“I am not leaving your side until you..”, Eric begins.
“I can take care of myself”, Godric tells him forcefully.
Sookie moves to my side to help me stand. It takes a few seconds to get my bearings.
“Come on, we have to go, everything will work out”, she directs at Eric.
“Spill no blood on your way out”, Godric orders.
Sookie keeps ahold of my arm as we go past the two. I make her pause, “You’ll meet us outside”?
He looks at me his eyes meeting mine before he nods his head slightly.
We go up the stairs and have to wait as we watch people leaving the church and we can hear Steve over the intercom giving directions.
“I could have us out in seconds if there were only two of us”, he says turning and looking at me for a moment.
“There are children out there and I’ll have you know she’s important to you even if you don’t know it yet”, Sookie says.
I turn to her my eyes wide and she shrugs as Eric says, “Somehow I doubt it”.
“Well, Godric said to get us both out so you need to think of something else. Why didn’t you bring Bill it would have been useful”, she asks.
“His attachment to you is irrational. It clouds his judgment. He would kill every child in this church to save you”.
“Why haven’t you”, she asks.
“I’m following Godric’s orders and getting you both out, that’s all”, he turns back to us.
“He’s your maker isn’t he”?
“Don’t use words you don’t understand”, he tells her.
“You have a lot of love for him”, she continues.
“Don’t use words I don’t understand”, he says. I can tell that isn’t true.
“Maybe it would be a good idea to figure out something quickly”, I say motioning to where they’re closing the door.
“Wait here”, is all he says while he heads out to the others.
We watch quietly as he speaks with the men at the door when we can tell it’s not gonna work.
“Stake”, Sookie yells as one of the men attack Eric. He makes quick work of them.
He goes to open the door except there are more people coming.
“Those arrows are wood”, one of the guys tells us. “You’ll never make it alive”.
“Eric through the sanctuary”, Sookie tells him.
We head in and she directs him to an Exit at the back.
“There are several exits, actually”, Steve’s voice startles us. “For you, the easiest one takes you straight to hell”.
People come pouring in from all sides of us surrounding us.
“Let us leave. Save yourselves no one has to die”, Sookie pleads the people.
“The war has already begun. The vampires cast the first stone by killing my family. You’re either with us or against us. We are prepared for Armageddon”, he tells us.
“The vampire you had has already escaped. He’s a sheriff he’s bound to send for help”, Sookie tells him.
“I’m not worried about Godric. Any vampire will do and it just so happens that we have one right here”.
Eric looks at Sookie before stepping forward.
“Eric you don’t have to do this”, she begs him.
“I’ll give myself for Godric’s and the two human’s freedom”, he tells Steve.
Steve nods and they grab Sookie and me while Steve has Eric lay on the podium and they place silver on him to keep him there.
“Brothers and sisters there will be a holy bonfire at dawn”, Steve tells the people gathered.
Once he is down on the podium and covered in silver Eric speaks out through the pain, “I offered myself for the girl’s and Godric’s freedom”.
“That’s noble, but they are just as culpable as you are. They are traitors to their race. The human race”, he states.
“How can we even be related”, I ask getting Steve’s attention. “We are nothing alike you are the most hateful despicable person I have ever known”.
He laughs, “I think this one”, he motions to Sookie, “might be good to tie to you and you could meet the sun together. I bet she would burn nicely beside you. As for you, little sister, you’re going to come home and we’re gonna fix you”.
“How do you plan to do that? I will never agree with anything you have to say”, I tell him.
I’m jerked back against whoever is holding me, “Maybe I can help bring her back to the light,” Luke says. I hadn’t even realized he had been the one to grab me.
Everyone turns as there is yelling outside again and another vampire I don’t know comes into the room.
“Bill”, Sookie calls out.
He moves to come up but suddenly Steve has a gun out and pointed at Sookie, “One more move vampire and the girl dies”.
“You kill her and everyone in this room will die. Let her go now”, he replies.
“Honestly, what do they see in you? Soldiers, some silver chains for our friend”, he directs.
“Don’t, he’s done nothing to you”, Sookie tries to fight even as Bill tells her he’ll be fine.
“Newlin!” Jason yells out from the edge of the sanctuary and shoots a rifle. As it turns out it’s a paintball gun but it hits Steve’s hand with the gun causing him to drop it. “Let her go fuckwad”, he yells again before aiming and shooting hitting Steve right between the eyes. Causing him to drop.
Bill moves quickly and shoves the two men holding Sookie away. “Make him let her go”, she refers to me. He does as she asks then she goes straight to Steve grabbing his throat and pinning him to the stairs.
“Eric, no don’t kill him”, Sookie calls out.
“Kill him. Kill the motherfucker”, Jason calls out.
“Go ahead martyr us before God”, Steve tells him.
“Godric said no bloodshed Eric”, I bring up.
The next thing I know is more vampires entering the chapel.
The one in the center with a cowboy hat speaks, “Steve Newlin. You have pushed us too far. You expect us to sit on our thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us? We’ll kill you first. Same way we did your family”.
My eyes widen as Steve yells out Murderer.
“Destroy them. All of them”, he tells the other vampires.
Suddenly it’s chaos as the vampires run in grabbing any human. I scream when someone grabs me but thankfully when I look it’s Eric.
“Enough”, sounds through the chapel the authority resonating through the room. “You came for me I assume. Underling”, he says when there’s no answer.
“Yes sheriff”, the same vampire from before answers.
“These people have not harmed me. You see? We can coexist”, he states. “Mr. Newlin, I do not wish to create bloodshed where none is called for. Help me set an example. If we leave you in peace, will you do the same”?
“I will not negotiate with subhumans”, he moves to his knees in front of Eric and me while moving his tie and collar out of the way, “Kill me. Do it. Jesus will protect me”.
“I am actually older than your Jesus. I wish I could have met him but I missed it”, he says a little playfully. With that he is suddenly down by Steve and grabs the back of his collar hauling him to his feet before everyone. “Good people, who of you is willing to die for this man’s madness”?
No one says anything.
“That’s what I thought. Stand down everyone”, he says and the vampires release all the humans. “People, go home. It’s over now”.
We watch as the humans leave the church before Godric releases Steve “I daresay my faith in humankind is stronger than yours”. Then moves over to me, “Are you alright young one”, he asks.
“I’m fine”, I tell him. He nods and takes my hand before addressing everyone else, “Come”.
We begin to walk when the cowboy vampire stops Godric and me, “Sheriff after all these humans have done to you”.
“I said, come”, and moves around him.
“Jasmine”, Godric tenses as Steve calls out to me. “If you leave this church you will never be allowed to come home and I will disown you”.
I pause and Godric looks over at me. I give his hand a slight squeeze and turn towards Steve, “If that means I won’t have to consider you my brother go right ahead”, I turn and continue walking out with Godric.
