A/N: Just wanted to give a special shout out to my new Beta Kim67255 for editing this chapter for me! IMPORTANT NOTE: I would also like to inform everyone that I will be writing a new story and it will be a continuation of season 5 and it will be my own version of season 6. It should be up by tomorrow so I hope you all will check it out and give your support for that story! Thanks again!
The whole atmosphere of the room was tense and I couldn't help but stare at Nora.
She was beautiful and compared to me I felt plain. The jealousy in me grew and I knew the look on my face portrayed it.
"Who's upstairs?" She asked as she cocked her head to the side.
"Sookie's brother, he is grieving right now." Eric told her as he handed her a spare True Blood that I had somewhere in the fridge.
"Oh, over the red head?" She asked casually as she took a sip of her drink.
"Her name was Jessica." I said sharply.
"Sorry, over Jessica." She smiled politely at me.
I wasn't sure if she was trying to be nice or just being a bitch, so I just smiled back.
I wanted to wipe the smile of her face but I took a deep breath and got control over my jealousy.
Nora was Eric's sister and I know he has a great love for her and would never betray me.
Right?
I mean I was wrong before with Bill but….
No, Eric and Bill were completely different and I felt ashamed for event thinking about it.
I slowly came back into reality and realized Eric and Nora were talking intently about something.
"So you have no clue where Russell or Bill could be?" Eric asked her as she shook her head.
"I told you Bill ran away right after Lilith died and saw that he had ended Jessica," she glanced over to me, "and Russell tried to kill the witch but he disappeared and I took a hint then."
"Lafayette teleported out of there?" I asked her.
"I suppose. It was a bit sloppy though. It appears as though his emotions are the answer to his powers. Which they shouldn't be. No supernatural creature should be controlled by their emotions. It would cause mass hysteria." She answered me with only slight interest in the topic.
"So you ran before Russell could turn on you?" Eric asked.
"Yes, the bodies are still there which someone should clean up before humans start to notice."
I shuddered as I remembered the grisly scene that Bill left behind him.
"I'll call Pam and Tara and see if before they come here they can do some clean up. They have some time before sunrise." Eric said as he sent a text over to Pam.
"So Sookie, how long have you known my dear brother?" Nora asked me and I could see Eric shoot me a nervous glance, before quickly turning away.
"I'm not exactly sure." I said lowly and Nora gave me a confused glance.
"Bill glamoured her to forget about him and I." Eric said as Nora nodded.
"But I usually can't be glamoured." I told her and I could see her interest peak.
"Really how fascinating. What are you, if you don't mind me asking?"
I looked over to Eric who nodded in approval.
"I'm half fae." Her eyes widened.
"Really, I've never met a fairy."
"I'm not a full fairy just half." I reminded her as I could see a look of hunger glaze through her eyes.
"That's why you smell so good, like something I have only dreamed of before." She smiled even wider.
"Eric, please tell your sister not to look at me like that." I said as my nervousness peaked in me.
"Nora." He warned her and she snapped out of whatever trance she was in.
"Sorry. I would never hurt the woman my brother loves." Somehow I didn't believe that.
I smiled at her and turned to look back over to Eric.
His phone rang and he looked at it quickly.
"Pam and Tara will take care of the scene at Merlottes."
"Were there any survivors?" I asked trying to think back to the scene.
No, there weren't.
I shook my head as I got up.
"I'm going to go check on my brother; I'll be back down in a sec." Eric was about to say something but I ignored him as I walked up the stairs.
"Jase?" I called as I walked up to the door of my old room and knocked lightly.
I opened the door and saw Jason lying there on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.
"Penny for your thoughts?" I asked as I closed the door and laid on the bed next to him.
He made some room for me and sighed.
"I can't believe he killed her, she looked up to him and everything." Jason said as he wiped away a tear from his eyes quickly.
"It's not your fault."
"Yes it is, if I got there sooner. I could have…" He got choked up as the tears streamed down his face.
I put my head on his chest and held him as he cried.
"I'm so sorry Jason." I whispered to him.
"I don't know if I loved her but it was something close to it, I think. We were just both so fucked up to even notice it." He told me.
"I know what you mean." I said and then another memory hit me.
It was of me and Eric sitting on a couch and he was telling me he loved me for the first time.
I knew I loved him to but the fact that I still had feelings for Bill kept me away from being with him.
I also remembered me choosing neither Bill nor Eric and I could see that in that moment I broke Eric's heart.
"Oh my God." I whispered against Jason's chest.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing, just remembering some things." I told him and he nodded.
"Sook, I just want to be left alone with my thoughts." My brother said and I nodded.
"Of course. If you need anything I'll be around. I love you." I told him.
"I love you too, be safe."
"I always am." He smiled softly as I turned away and left the room.
I walked down the stairs and then someone knocked at the front door.
I walked over to the door and saw it was Lafayette.
"Hey I found something." He told me as I opened the door and he walked in.
"What?"
"Well two spells that could be very helpful." He smiled as he took out a book he was carrying and put it on the kitchen table as he walked over to it.
Eric shot me a glance from the other room and I shrugged.
"So I found a tracking spell that seems easy, and then I found this. It just appeared to me out of nowhere." I looked at the book and it was a resurrection spell.
"A resurrection spell?" I asked as I traced the letters with my hand softly and it seemed to glow at my touch.
I gasped and Eric and Nora joined us in the room.
They remained quiet as the book glowed and then dimmed to a normal color.
"What the hell was that?" I asked.
"Your magic must have touched it as well." Eric said.
"Fae have the strongest magic." Nora said in agreement with him.
"Well as I was saying, I think I can bring Jess back." He said.
"How?" I asked him.
"By killing another vampire to take her place in the spirit world." He told me.
"So if we kill Russell, Jess lives?" I asked and he nodded.
"Exactly, I just thought it was an added bonus."
I smiled wide as I hugged Lafayette. Jason would be so happy.
"Killing Russell will not be an easy task." Eric said grimly.
"We have more luck finding Bill." Nora offered.
I felt an uneasy feeling as I asked Lafayette, "Could it be any vampire?" I asked him.
"Yes, whatever you want to resurrect you must kill something that is of that species." He said and I knew he had put a lot of thought into it.
I read his mind and I realized he was thinking of Jesus and I knew he wanted to bring him back but he wasn't sure where to find a witch besides Holly, and he didn't want to kill her.
"You can't just kill an innocent like that." I told him and he nodded.
"I know." He whispered and Eric looked over to me and I tapped my head.
"I'm sorry but Russell and Bill are not innocent." Nora said.
"I can read minds, he was thinking of something else." I told her.
"You are full of surprises aren't you?" She asked me.
"Just wait and see." I told her as my hand glowed and her eyes fell to it.
"Sookie." Eric warned me this time and I stopped my hand from glowing.
I really needed to stop acting like a child.
"So if we kill Russell or…. Bill we can have Jess back." I said and Lafayette nodded.
"Yes, but once it is done I only have a short amount of time to perform the ritual." He told me.
"Alright, well now that is taken care of we need to figure out how to kill Russell."
"Or Bill." Nora reminded me.
"Or Bill." I said and Eric sighed.
"May I speak with you my lover?" Eric asked me and I nodded as he led me into the living room.
"Would you like to explain to me why you are still so hesitant about all of this?" He asked.
"I don't know, I can't just turn off…"
"The feelings you have for him." He became cold as I gave him a curious glance.
"Yeah."
"Sookie I can't make this decision for you, it shouldn't be this hard. Bill is gone and you have to accept it."
"I know."
"No you don't know, I love you and I won't share you with him." He said as he lightly touched my face and turned away.
"I'm not asking you to. I don't want Bill like that, not anymore, I just want you." I told him and he stopped.
"I care for Bill that is true, but not romantically. The things I remember with him are nothing compared to the things I remember with you. The passion, the love, the sparks, that's only with you." I told him and I realized for the first time that it was in fact very true.
As Eric remained still I said the one thing I knew would make him come back to me.
"I chose you before I even knew I did." I told him as he walked up to me and kissed me.
"Please keep that in mind when you think of him. Don't be fooled by him he is gone." He told me as he continued to kiss me and I finally let it soak in.
"I love you." I told him as he let me go.
He smiled and I could see it was full of hope and it reminded me of the night I broke his heart, which I promised to myself I would never do again, and hopefully he would do the same.
"Hey love birds we have to create a plan here." Lafayette said.
"Later the sun is coming up soon and I have to call Pam and make sure she is okay." Eric said as he walked away.
"Hey Lafayette, you can stay on the couch if you want." I told him.
He walked out of the kitchen as I was about to enter it with his book in hand.
"I'm good. I'll see you tomorrow though." He smiled as he left.
Well he was in a hurry. I hope he wasn't going to do anything that he may regret one day.
"I'm happy you make my brother a better person." Nora said as she walked into the living room with me.
"I'm happy I do as well."
"I hope you weren't offended by my affection for my brother, but know I just love him like a brother. Only occasionally do we actually have sex." My eyes widened as she said that.
"You guys have sex?" I asked her and she nodded.
"It's normal in our world. You wouldn't understand, but maybe you would since fae have sex with each other all the time." She smiled.
"Well not humans." I told her.
"True."
"When was the last time you guys had sex?" I asked her.
"Maybe a week or more ago." She said as she thought back.
"Yes, we had sex before we went to the Authority." She said reassuring herself.
"A week." I had just had sex with Eric and he just had sex with her.
"I didn't think you were together at that time." She said.
"We weren't, I don't think we were at least."
"We weren't." Eric said as he entered the room and glared at Nora.
"It appears I have hit a nerve. I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way." She got up and walked away into the cubby.
"She's staying here?" I asked him.
"Where else is she supposed to go?" He asked me.
"Well not somewhere where you will be."
"I will not have sex with her. We were not together when we did have sex and if we were I would not have had sex with her then." He told me and I nodded.
"I'm not a cheater." He said as he smirked and kissed me.
"You're a jerk." He kissed my cheek again.
"Where are Pam and Tara?" I asked him.
"They just finished cleaning up and will be here shortly."
"Okay." He kissed me again and the door opened.
"Dirty work is done." Tara said as she entered the house and walked past me.
She went straight to the cubby.
"Nora is on our side now and will be staying with us." Eric told Pam and she nodded.
"Goody, because that doesn't scream danger. Looks like I won't be sleeping all day." Pam said as she walked to the cubby as well.
"I'll see you tonight." Eric said to me as he kissed my forehead and left.
I was left alone in the silence of the night and as I locked the front door I knew I had to go tell Jason about Jess.
Things were finally starting to look a little better.
And I just had the feeling that it wouldn't stay that way for long.
