To be set free (True blood)

Part 5

*Heyyy I'm sorry it has been a while. I'll update more exams are over so I have more time thanks for waiting*

BANG!

Everything went in slow motion I felt myself being pinned to the ground by something extremely heavy. I tried to look around but my vision was blurred and all I could hear was a low hum as well as a static sound, then I started to hear it after a few seconds the cries of pain and agony consumed the room. My vision finally clearing. I saw red. It was everywhere. Blood surrounded the room splattered in every spot you could find. Vampires and human companions helping checking for wounds and injuries.

Slowly but surely all my senses were coming back. Looking down I saw Eric and Godric on top of me, feeling suffocated I started to move trying to get free and finally I did. Godric then stood looking around in calm horror, his eyes slightly wide and sad. I looked down and I followed his gaze to see Eric. He lied there with bullet wholes in his chest, he must have taken most of the hit.

I rushed down and asked "Are you ok?"

His eyes looked blood shot and he had multiple wounds mostly to the chest. He looked disoriented, he looked around the room frantically for something I did not know. He seemed to not know I was even there. I repeated myself and asked again

"Are you ok?" His eyes suddenly snapped to me.

He settled down and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Well Sookie tell me what do you think?" He said sarcastically raising a brow.

I rolled my eyes relieved he seemed ok. I turned to Godric who nodded In my direction and went over to assist Isabel and help others that have been hurt or injured. He moved with elegance and care when helping it was a sight I had never seen before which just added to Godric's mysterious aura he was definitely unlike any other vampire I had come into contact with.

I looked around worriedly for Jason. Just the thought of him being hurt made my stomach twist, his the only family I had left but luckily I saw him being helped by Isobel. I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding. His eyes met mine and he gave a goofy smile to indicate he was ok and also put his thumbs up. I would have laughed if not for the awful situation, he then assisted those around him that were injured.

I was brought back by Eric holding my hand and gesturing for me to move closer. I hesitantly moved closer leaning towards him till I could feel his minty breathe. Which was weird as all he drinks is blood and he can't consume a mint, gum possibly maybe it's tooth paste, do vampires scrub their teeth? I hope so.

He then whispered in a low husky voice "Can you do me a favour?"

I turned so I was looking into his piercing blue eyes.

"Depends what it is" I replied in the same whisper not quite sure why we were whispering

"I need you to suck the bullets out" I immediately leant back away and scrunched up my nose in disgust. Um Ew no thank you.

"Sookie I risked my life for you, I put you before myself, I took a bullet for you no bullets for you, and you can't do me this favour to help me to save me to relieve my pain" he said.

Damn it he did save my life. I groaned and lent over where the bullets were, I looked up again at him and he gestured with his head to carry on then laid back on the floor comfortably. First I tried to get the bullets out with my fingers which worked for most of them but there were two that seemed to be really lodged in there. Slowly I lent down and suck them out as quickly as I could and then spat out any blood that would have accidentally gone in to my mouth.

Looking at Eric I saw he was smiling widely almost giddy. When Isobel came over and asked "Eric what did you get her to do?"

As soon as she said that I froze what does she mean the way she said it didn't sound good.

"Just asked sweet young sookie to suck the bullets out" Eric replied in a joyful voice and ended with his signature smirk.

Isobel looked at me with a sad smile and said "honey they would have just come out naturally". Then she was called by someone for help and left.

What the fuck. I looked over at Eric and punched him as hard as I could in his stomach that was slowly healing.

"Ah fuck" he groaned.

Great just great of course Eric would do anything to make me consume his blood, what am I going to tell bill. That's definitely going to be an awkward conversation oh yeah bill while you were gone 5 minutes I drank some of Eric's blood but it's only because I was dumb enough to do it. I sighed.

Bill. Where is bill. I started to look around worried. When I didn't immediately spot him I started to fill sick, he would have come straight away to check if I was ok. I turned to Eric quickly almost giving myself whiplash, as I faced him he was already staring at me expectantly.

"Where's bill?" I asked my worry evident in my uneven voice. He got up helping me with him and scanned the room. As I looked around the room with him i let out and audible gasp.

The room was completely and utterly destroyed the once beauty that was the room was now in ruins. With chunks of the wall blown through Letting in the cold air from outside; the glass windows shattered in pieces, the ceiling had a huge gaping hole in the middle of it, the furniture as covered in bits of flesh and blood which made me feel queasy, the carpet had a layer of dust and blood seeping through it staining it. Then there were bodies. Some that were no more and others that were hurt and very few that were uninjured.

"Hm it's not like him to just leave you here and not check on you as soon as the bomb went off" Eric said still looking around with an emotionless face.

That's when I really started to get concerned, if even Eric couldn't see him and noticed how out of character it was then that was a green light to start panicking. I started to move through out the room around people with Eric following close behind me. We went outside when I saw more bodies that had been hit.

Red caught my eye. A bright red dress. I've definitely seen that before on Lorena, Eric caught on to where I was looking and with great speed went over to analyse. I jogged over and saw what made my heart drop.

"Sookie" I heard Eric mutter. But I ignored him I stared right at the pile which were bills close. His shirt and jacket as well as his trousers and shoes all scrunched up soaked in goop and blood. This couldn't be happening. Everything seemed to fade out, time stopped and I felt empty.

"Sookie im so sorry" Eric said with remorse he hugged me tightly this snapped me out of my haze and back to reality. For once I didn't push him away or fight it I let him hold me because I wasn't sure I could hold myself up. He wrapped his big arms around my waist securely as if he would never let go, it was strangely comforting coming from him. However did nothing to lesser the pain and loss I was feeling at that very moment.

A tear rolled down my face then followed by another until I was weeping in Eric's arms clutching him for dear life. I felt broken my first and only love had died and was nothing but a pile of goop. Bill wasn't perfect but he was the first person to except me fully for who I was. He loved me unconditionally and had always been there to help and save me other than the fellowship of the sun incident. I wished I could have said goodbye or see his smile one last time. If I knew the last time I would ever see him would be minutes ago I would have took in all his features and really appreciated just being with him. I would have gone with him.

The more I thought about bills death the more I cried into Eric. We stood like this for what seemed like years. Yet my tears never stopped they fell rapidly; I think Eric knew what I needed now was comfort for someone to be there for me. I started to feel drowsy and tired, before I new it I was picked up as I drifted into sleep.
