In the third installment of the True Blood comic book series, we see Eric continuing his story to the group trapped at Merlottes. Eric tells how Jorge Alonso De San Diego captured both himself and Rachel. He

questioned Rachel about an underground movement called the "inquisition". At first stoic, even as Jorje cut her cheek with a blade, she finally gave in. Rachel told Jorje if they released Eric, she would tell who the leaders of the inquisition were. Eric begs her not to tell, knowing they will kill Rachel regardless. She doesn't listen however, and tells Jorje that Isaiah, Ezekiel, Robert and Abraham were the leaders in question. Jorje is surprised that Rachel named Abraham, after all, it is Rachel's father. Jorje stabs Rachel in the stomach and true to his word, releases Eric from his silver chains. Eric runs to Rachel's side and offers to change her to vampire, yet she refuses.
