Keely ran into the elevator as Eric and Sookie followed behind and she quickly closed the elevator doors and looked up at her maker.
"You ok?" he asked her and she nodded, terrified out of her mind.
"Good" he said softly and they all jumped and she heard Sookie gasp when the elevator rattled and then stopped, the lights going out.
"The powers shut down. Fuck" he said and she looked around.
"Can we get through the elevator shaft?" Sookie asked and she looked up and then paused when the strange, weird light blasted from Sookie's hand.
"Handy" Eric commented, dryly before he reached up and pulled away the ceiling.
"No!" Sookie cried.
"It's sealed shut" Eric told them and she watched him start punching at the second ceiling. They managed to get out and she ran for the nearest car and jumped into the front of the SUV, forcing Sookie to get into the back. They squealed to a halt in front of Pam, Jessica, Jason Stackhouse, Tara and some unfamiliar brunette.
"It's time we ditch this party" Eric commented and they all got in and Keely looked at her best friend and sister, Jessica.
"Bill?" she asked and Keely shook her head, sadly and then glanced at Eric and saw him looking at her. They heard a howl and Eric speed away from the building.
"Eric, stop" said the unfamiliar brunette and he turned the car and she almost screamed when she saw Bill, still naked and covered in blood, walking out of the building as it began to explode.
"Hey, what the…" Jessica began.
"Is that Bill?" Jessica asked.
"Not anymore" Sookie replied.
"Let's get the fuck outta here" she said and Eric drove off.
"Fucking go!" Jason yelled.
"I don't think he's following us" Tara's voice said as they speed down the highway.
"Unless he's flying over our heads like a naked evil superman" Jason mused.
"I think if Bill or whatever that was wanted to kill us, we'd be dead already" she replied.
"Yeah, she's right. He let us get away" Eric agreed.
"For now, maybe. But if Bill's been reborn in Lilith's image…." The unknown brunette began.
"We don't know that" Eric replied, sharply and she frowned.
"We don't know what he is" he added and Keely ignored the radio and turned in her seat to look a Jessica, who had been silent since they got away from Bill.
"As of this moment I am instituting a state-wide vampire curfew. All vampires are to remain indoors or underground after sundown. Furthermore, I am enforcing Executive Order 846 of the Louisiana State Constitution. We are closing down all vampire-run businesses" the man over the news, Governor Burrell, said and she looked at Eric and he glanced at her and she saw the anger on his face.
"That is why I say to any of you who have the financial and legal means to do it buy a gun. Buy as many as you can. Stock up in wooden bullets. This is still America. You have the right to defend yourselves and the people you love" the man said and she sighed.
"About damn time somebody did something about y'all" Jason said.
"Shut up, Jason" Sookie and Tara both snapped. Keely tuned out the argument and the talk between Eric, Pam and the unknown brunette and looked back at Jess. She gasped when the car skidded and she looked at Eric.
"Nora and I need to talk, privately" he said and she looked at him and then he leaned over, kissed her lips and got out and she got out and stood with Jessica, concerned.
"…destroy her" she heard Nora finish.
"Destroy her? You mean you wonna kill Bill" Jessica said and they all looked at her and Keely gasped when her friend ran off and she looked at Eric and then went after Jessica. She found her on the sand, putting water on her face, no doubt to wash off tears.
"Jess, listen to me. You didn't see him. He didn't look or act like Bill" she said softly.
"Do you still love Bill?" Jessica asked and it was then that Keely saw Sookie.
"Bill was my first…everything. Loving him is just in my blood now" Sookie replied.
"Mine too" Jessica agreed and then looked at her and they got up, held hands and walked over to sit on the rocks with Sookie.
"I'm afraid of him" Jessica admitted.
"We are too" she said softly and Sookie nodded.
"I watched him die, sweetie. And then I watched him turn into… something else. Whatever that thing is, it's not Bill" Keely explained.
"What are we gonna do?" Jessica sniffled.
"I think we…I think we have to let him go" Sookie said and Keely saw the blonde's tears.
"But if Bill's gone, then I'm completely alone" Jessica said and Keely paused.
"What about me? Jess, we've been through all of this together. You are never going to be alone, not when I'm here, I promise. We're sisters, remember" she said softly and Jessica looked at her and they silently held hands and leaned against each other. They got up and went back and gasped when they saw Jason holding a gun to the unknown brunette's chest.
"Bloody hell" she commented.
"What are you doing?" Sookie demanded.
"Stay" Jason ordered them and they paused.
"Apparently our siblings don't get along" Eric commented and she gaped.
"Siblings? You mean she's…" she began and he looked at her.
"My little sister" he said and she looked at him then at Jessica and shrugged.
"Auntie Nora" she smirked and Jessica gave her a small grin.
"The only reason yours is still alive is out of courtesy to you" Eric added to Sookie.
"Put the gun down right now" Sookie ordered Jason.
"Listen to your sister" Tara said as she and Pam appeared.
"This ain't none of your business, fanger" Jason snapped.
"What'd you just call me Jason Stackhouse?" Tara snapped.
"He's out of his mind. He doesn't know what he's saying" Jessica defended him.
"Like hell I don't" Jason snapped and Keely paused when he moved closer to her 'aunt'. She listened to the intense argument between brother and sister and then looked at Jessica after Jason ran off and she gasped.
"Jess?" she gasped.
"It's Bill, he's summoning me" Jessica told her, fear in her eyes and Keely raced to her side as Jessica turned and began walking away.
"Where is he?" she asked.
"I don't know but my body sure does. Maybe if he's pulling me, he's still Bill" Jessica mused to her.
"Will somebody please stop her?" Sookie asked and Keely paused when Eric appeared in front of her and Jessica and she jumped when Jessica began bawking before she puked blood all over her maker.
"Lovely" he commented.
"I'm sorry" Jessica whimpered.
"What's happening to her? Is this normal?" she asked him, fearfully.
"Never seen anything like it" Eric admitted and she gasped when Jessica collapsed to the ground.
"Stop it please, Keely" Jessica whimpered and Keely knelt beside her, feeling awful and helpless.
"Honey, it's been swell knowing you. Good luck" Pam commented.
"Shut up Pam" she snarled, angrily as she tried to help her best friend and sister since birth. She whimpered when Jessica screamed and Eric looked at them.
"Bill, stop!" Jessica begged.
"Feels like his fist is squeezing my heart. Holy fuck! Help me!" she screamed and Keely looked up at her maker.
"We have to take her to him, now" she said and he looked at her.
"Whatever Bilith is, he's not worth dying for" Pam told her.
"Keely please, I can't take much more" Jessica begged as she tried to crawl past Eric.
"I'm taking her to Bill with or without you" she said, firmly, standing up and he looked at her.
"No" he refused and she glared at him.
"She is my sister and she was well before you turned me. I will choose her every time so move" she snarled and he looked at her then slowly stepped aside. She helped Jess stand and they hurried to the SUV. She got in, started the car then paused when Sookie jumped into the back and nodded to them and she turned and sped off, headed to Bill's home. They pulled up and she looked at Jessica and Sookie and they nodded so they got out and headed to the other side to help Jessica.
"Okay, wait a second, Jess" she said and helped her sister into the house, following the bloody footprints through the house. They walked through, decided that Keely would go first and then gasped when they saw the pile of red dust on one of the bedroom floors.
"Is he dead?" Sookie whispered.
"Jess" Keely gasped when Jessica fell to her knees and pointed out to the balcony and they nodded and slowly, walked out, raising the stakes that Sookie had made. She tuned and paused when she saw Bill, looking like himself again, sitting in a chair, calmly.
