Dark love // Eric Northman ✔️

Chapter 49: Turn! Turn! Turn!

After killing Nan Flanagan, Gabriela, Eric and Bill quickly washed themselves and changed their clothes, before they began cleaning Bill's office.

Well Gabriela and Eric were cleaning, using their speed while Bill was on the phone with his progeny "Jessica, it's Bill. Listen, I've been called away on business for a while. Nothing to worry about." Gabriela shot the king a glare as she passed him with a new bucket of water. "And hopefully it won't take more than a week or two." Eric wiped his forehead as he too, shot the man a glare at the lack of help "Needless to say, whilst i'm gone, my palace is your palace. Within reason, of course."

"How about wrapping it up?" said Eric, as he started on the walls "We could use a little help here."

Bill rolled his eyes and slid his mobile phone into his pockets, and joined them into speeding around the room with a bucket of soap.

Gabriela grimaced as she put the limbs of the dead humans that had accompanied Nan into a trash bag and pushed it against the wall.

"We have to hurry," said Eric urgently as he took the bags from her and disappeared from sight only to reappear a second later with his hands empty. "if we're not gone by sunrise it will be our last."

Suddenly both Bill and Gabriela looked up, eyes wide "Sookie!"

Bill speed from the room, while Eric was by Gabriela's side not a second later, holding onto her arm tightly as the king screamed out in agony outside.

"They're already here." he panicked, ears straining for any sign of danger. "I'm getting you out of here, right now."

Gabriela gasped as he pulled her through the open front door as fast as he could, but the Nephilim was ripped away from him the moment they stepped foot outside. They didn't stand a chance. "Authority! Freeze!"

Eric cried out as a blanket of silver covered him from head to toe.

"Eric!" Gabriela cry out as she tried to reach her mate, but a collar was placed on her neck and she screamed in pain, as it started burning her and she fall to her knees.

"Gabriela!" Her name came like a snarl as Eric tried to reach for her.

Gabriela weakly lifted her head and connected her green eyes with his furious blue ones, before she felt a sharp sting in her neck, the scenery before her turned blurry.

Gabriela stumbled when she felt someone take hold of her shoulders and push her toward the floor. The concrete bit into her cheek harshly and she grunted, trying to fight back but slowly her vision began to fade and the cries of Eric and Bill were the last sound she heard before she went numb.
