To be set free (True blood)

Part 7

Godric POV

As I watched Eric and Sookie walk away back down the hall towards our hotel room I began to ponder what the message was. The creature was draped in black robes. Robes used to be a symbol of royalty and superiority it also had a small crest attached to it which looked like a crow. The creature had unnatural purple eyes that glowed which was strange as the only creatures with purple eyes are pixies, and they died out centuries ago.

However it is possible it could be some sort or demon hybrid, it's hard to tell. It might even be a new specifies entirely. What worried me was what it said "the empire will fall". It could only mean the Higher council or "Thę Êmpįrę" which is what it was called hundreds of years ago.

The vampire council was set up to create order amongst vampires. Our animal instincts of hunting were strong and led to vampires being savages feared by most creatures. Wars broke lose between vampires and other supernaturals; this led to innocents dying, homes being destroyed, families ripped apart.

An apocalypse was a formidable reality which was a possible event to happen in the future if we continued to live on the way we did. As a result it was decided to have a council, councils would be set up in all different species and would set laws that all species agreed was right so we could live peacefully. The higher council consisted of those highest amongst their council which would negotiate with other species councils.

The councils worked and wars were few and far between. However there was a group who went against the councils and wanted to bring them down. After a few failed attempts they went back into the shadows and weren't heard about again until now. What's unclear is what they want to achieve after destroying the councils.

I looked around the hall and found it empty. I glanced towards to direction Nan Flanagan had gone and decided to swiftly follow. I came face to face with a very narrow corridor which was dark despite the lamps along the side of the wall flickering. I silently walked down the hall until I was met with a door. It was small, new looking and metal which was peculiar as the rest of the underground doors were made of carved antique wood as it was built centuries ago.

I looked down and saw shadows moving around near the door then decided better than to just walk in, but instead strain in and listen.

"What are we going to do?" I hear a familiar hostile voice which I recognised as Nan.

"We keep going with the plan" said another voice I had never heard before it was a strong males voice.

"But-"

"What we will do is carry on as normal and not inform the council" the male interrupted.

"Ok ok" Nan reluctantly replied.

I then heard foots steps nearing the door so I toke off fast and silently back through the corridor and out to the hotel rooms. I walked to the reception and decided to call Eric and give him the heads up. I took my phone out my pocket pressed on his contact; it rang twice before it was picked up.

"Eric we seem to have a problem and need you to follow my exact instructions yes?"

He hesitated then replied "hm yes"

"Good have you had any supernatural occurrences happen around Bon temp as it has been happening here in texas, small things like deaths and attacks"

"Where you are too, it's happening"

"Yes and it may be because whoever the robed person is are trying to create distractions so we don't see them coming"

"What do you mean?"

"I believe the revolt is back and trying to take over the higher council"

"The higher council?"

"Yes however maybe they have evolved or even created a new species"

"New species?"

"I can't be sure but that's what I'm guessing I suggest you go back to Bon temp and keep things in order as the sheriff also make sure to keep sookie with you where it is safe. I plan on handing over my sherif duties to Isobel and warning her then I will come to Bon temp and we can figure out what is going on. We might even have to go to the council and see if we can be if any assistance"

"Ok I'll make sure to handle everything in bon temp keep in touch"

Then we both hung up the phone and I was off to relieve myself of the sheriff duties and just hoped Eric could handle everything on his end.
