Brighter Now

Part 12

           

Sookie Stackhouse wasn't sure how long it had been since she was kidnapped. She wasn't even sure how she was still alive. Eric had warned her that someone might come after her because of him but she thought it would be more in the lines of, you know, killing her. Here she was sitting in the ground with her hands tied behind her back.

Eric had informed her about Finn. Sookie's ex-boyfriend had tried to kidnap her and had told her current boyfriend about the vampire being in town.

Finn was still upset about his maker after about thousand years. Sookie knew that Eric used to be a man whore, so she wasn't surprised when she heard that Elizabeth had fallen in love with him. Sookie couldn't blame her since she was in love with the Viking, too.

"How am I still alive?" Sookie finally asked him.

"I can always kill you, if you're complaining," Finn smirked at her.

"Of course, not," Sookie said, clearing her throat. Sookie heard someone walking towards them, so she turned her head a little to see who it was better.

"So, this is her?" A teenage girl with long, brown hair asked Finn, while looking at Sookie.

"I'm the witch," the girl answered, simply.

"A witch? They exist too?" Sookie asked, shocked.

"Tara," Finn snapped at the witch.

"But you're just a child," Sookie told the girl—Tara sadly.

"I'm not a child. I'm sixteen years old," Tara told her, narrowing her eyes at Sookie.

"Is everything ready?" Finn asked Tara.

"What do you take me for?" Tara paused, "Yes, everything is ready."

"What are you going to do to me?" Sookie asked and she could admit that now she was a little scared.

"Nothing. You're just the bait," Finn told her.

"Why me?" Sookie asked and finally tried to get away by trying to get her hands free but it only hurt her more.

"Eric loves you. I call it justice. Besides I wasn't sure how much Godric cares about his girl."

"Why do you say that?"

"Godric hasn't fed her his blood or vise versa. If he really cared about her, he would have. Especially with the chance of me kidnapping her," Finn told her, like he was talking to a child.

"Are you going to kill them?" Sookie asked the vampire and she couldn't stop from tears escaping her eyes.

"Of course, I am but I'm going to kill you first in front of them. I loved Elizabeth more than anything and they took her away from me. Now, I'm going to kill you, so Eric can finally feel how I felt all those years ago," Finn explained.

"What about Godric?" Sookie wondered aloud.

"What about him?" Finn asked, angrily.

"How are you going to make him pay? I don't see Adira here."

"I wouldn't worry about her, if I were you," Tara advised her.

Godric couldn't be upset over Adira shutting his phone down. They were always interrupted by something and he was so focused on Adira that he couldn't have even known if Eric had tried to call on him by their maker and child bond. 

Finn had taken Eric's lover to the underground. They followed Eric and Sookie's blood bond and all Godric could think about was that Adira and him have never done that. It wasn't that Godric didn't think about it but it just never felt like the time to talk about it. He would have loved to see the side effects on Adira.

It all happened so fast when they arrived to their destination. Sookie was unconscious and Finn was watching out from the window.

"I don't remember inviting your maker here, Eric. I would've kidnapped his girl too if I had," Finn informed Eric as he kept looking outside.

"That's too bad. Here I am," Godric told him and Finn turned around. Finn had a stake in his hand.

"I guess it's time to end this," Finn said as he ran towards them. He didn't have time to stake either of them when Eric took a hold of him and Godric staked him, easily.

"That was a little too easy," Eric said.

"Finn! NOOOO!" They heard a girl's voice yelling as she ran towards them.

"What did you do? This isn't how it was supposed to go," She yelled at them before saying something in Latin and focusing her powers on Godric. Eric was going to go after the witch but Sookie's voice asking for him turned his focus from the witch to Sookie.

When he turned back to the witch, she was gone.
