WHEN VICTORIA WOKE up, she quickly scrambled to her feet, looking left to right with wide eyes. Tears stung her eyes and she winced as pain went through her head. Reaching up, she touched her forehead and winced, pulling her hand away to see that it had some blood in it.

"It's okay, Tori," Sookie said as she rushed over to her cousin, pulling her into a hug, hoping to comfort her.

Victoria nodded and pulled away from Sookie, taking in deep breaths before releasing them, controlling the panic attack that she knows is coming. She eyed a game on a shelf that read 'jesus christ vampire exterminator' and there was a couple underneath the one which was even worse. "These people are completely sick," she commented, shaking her head, trying to ignore the pain that erupted from the movement.

"I agree," Sookie stated as she watched her cousin with soft eyes, "teaching kids to hate like this."

Hugo was pacing in a panic, sweating profusely. "I don't have time for games right now. I need to get out of here."

"Take a deep breath," Sookie told him gently, trying to keep both of them from having a panic attack. Though, Hugo's problem was small spaces, Tori's is that she keeps gettin kidnapped. "Look at me. It's gonna be okay. We're gonna figure this out, all right?"

The man did as he was told and sat down. "Okay. Okay. I'm okay."

Sookie looked over at Tori in concern who was looking around the cage — of some sort — they were in. "How bad does your head hurt, Tori?" She asked gently to the eighteen year old. "When I saw you hit the stairs and roll down them, I was so scared that you had died."

Tori shrugged, trying to seem like it wasn't a big deal, but she was tired of being taken and hurt in different ways. "It's nothing I haven't been through, Sook. I mean, Rene did worse to me, so..."

"You shouldn't have to go through things like this," Sookie states angrily before sighing. "You're only eighteen for god's sake."

Victoria sighed. "My life, along with yours, will always have something to do with the supernatural. You read minds, and I am a doppelgänger. No matter what we do, we're stuck in this, so we might as well fight like hell to get to the other end."

"That's true," Sookie stated before shaking her head. "Okay, so  the Newlins knew who we were the minute we walked in," Sookie states as she gently brushed Tori's hair back away from her face. "Same way they knew to come after us at the airport. Someone at that nest's a traitor."

"You think a vampire's siding with the Fellowship to get Godric out of the way?" Hugo wondered.

Sookie was confused as she asked, "Stan? Because he wants to be sheriff? I've heard of ambitious, but that's just plain crazy."
