deadly {trueblood}

seventeen

murder was a continuous thought that popped into hadley's head as hugo banged against the fence and screamed for someone to let him out, the woman rolled her eyes once more before laying her head on her knees.

she had made a small fort out of the boxes in the small cage so that she wouldn't be tempted to strangle hugo as he slept, but now she was ready to bludgeon him to death with a half full water bottle. "can you shut the fuck up please?"

sookie got up and handed the man an empty bottle, telling him she'd turn her back but he only refused and said he needed out. "hugo, this is not helping." sookie finally snapped, grabbing the man's arm to get him to stop shaking the fence.

"you're the traitor?" those three words caught hadley's full attention, she quickly crawled out of the fort and grabbed the man by his collar and shaking him harshly.

"why the fuck would you do this?" she pushed him into a shelf, "we trusted you!"

sookie gently pulled back hadley and stood between her and hugo, making each of them sit down away from each other. "i used to be just like you!" hugo shouted, "thought i was a real emancipated thinker, especially when isabel took me to bed, and the sex was amazing."

hadley shook her head, getting up and hitting the chain link fence with her hand as the man kept talking. "it's addictive, isn't it? to be desired by something that powerful. i guess you wouldn't know how your life changes to suit them. you start missing work, can't get up in the morning, can't stand to leave them after dark. before you know it, you're somebody you don't even recognize."

"so you went to the real monsters because you couldn't control yourself?" hadley asked, her voice loud and powerful.

"i begged her to turn me. it was the only way we could be together as equals. but they don't want us to be equals. no, she's just been using me. the same way bill's been using you, and godric's been-"

"don't even fucking finish that sentence." hadley hissed at him.

"i know that bill and his friends are having you do their dirty work. i mean, a telepath's gotta be a real trophy for a vampire. all they care about is their own kind. that's why i joined the fellowship."

sookie was fuming, "so if the newlins care so much about you, how come you're still in here?" the man took a deep breath, "face it, hugo. you're nothing but a fangbangin' traitor to them."

hugo got up from his seat, shouting for gabe or steve to come to his rescue and take him from the cage. shouting that the women 'knew everything now' and shaking the fence, "you're so all-fired important to them, aren't ya?"
