Eric sighed as he finished the hole and looked at the brunette near it. He looked across the park and saw Bill Compton with Jessica and Eric's own Progeny, Pam.
"I don't know if I want a sister" Pam commented and he rolled his eyes at her.
"She is one of us now, you will be nice and...leave her alone" he said when he saw the female looking up the brunette's skirt.
"I guess she's better than that other one who just kept whining, she at least had some fight in her" she said and he nodded.
"Exactly, which is why I grabbed her and not the other one. She will need both of our help Pam, especially for the first few years. When she is older she can go alone but for now, she is staying with us and maybe the fact that her sister is with her, will make it seem less horrifying" he said and she looked at him.
"You actually like her" she said and he sighed.
"I like the fact that she is not whiny and baby-ish. Like you said, she has fight in her, you heard the way she spoke to the Magistar, any girl that has that much courage, I would gladly make my own" he said and she sighed.
"Ok fine but what happens when she has too much sass? She'll wrap you around her little finger like all teenage girls do to their...Daddy's" she said and he rolled his eyes.
"I will not be daddy" he said and she smiled.
"She's 17 Eric, you have no other choice. She isn't old enough to get anything alone since she isn't 18. You have no other choice but to act as her father or at least some kind of parent" she said and he sighed, knowing she was right.
"Let's just wait for her and the other one to wake up tomorrow ok" he said and she sighed and he gently picked up the brunette and placed her into the hole and lay down beside her.
"I'll tuck you in" Pam smirked and he sighed as he lay down and wrapped his left arm around his new daughter's waist.
Keely opened her eyes and opened her mouth to scream and then began chocking as dirt flooded into her mouth. She slowly stood up and began coughing up and spitting out the dirt. She looked up and saw the blonde man looking at her.
"Oh my god, I thought it was a dream" she whimpered and he sighed.
"Sorry" he said and she looked at him.
"Help me" she said and he walked over and helped her out of the ditch. She looked at it and then whimpered and looked at the blonde man.
"I just slept in a grave didn't I?" she asked and he nodded and she shivered and wrapped her arms around herself.
"Where's Jessica? Is she ok? Is she a vampire too? What happened?" she ranted and he grabbed her shoulders and she looked at him.
"Jessica is fine, you will no doubt see her later and yes, she is a vampire too. You are both together just, well..." he began and she looked at him, sadly.
"Dead" she said and he nodded.
"Yeah" he said and she frowned when her throat began to burn and she looked around when a very delicious smelling scent caught her attention.
"What smells so good?" she asked and he chuckled.
"That would be human blood" he said and she looked at him.
"No way, no-uh, I am not drinking human blood" she said and began walking off, to find some animal to eat.
"Well you can't live on animal blood and I refuse to let my daughter..." he began and she spun around and glared at him.
"Your daughter? I don't think so. I have a father, Richard Adams, he just...he just happens to have a heartbeat when I don't" she said softly and sadly.
"You are going to look 17 for the rest of eternity, so yeah you need a father and since I made you a vampire which makes me your maker and also, basically your father" he said and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever you say, Blondie" she said and began looking around for a wild animal to satisfy her burning throat. She gasped as he grabbed her shoulders and made her look at him.
"First of all my name is Eric Northman, second of all, you are my progeny and you will do what I tell you" he said and she sighed.
"Fine...daddy" she said and he sighed and followed her as she walked onto the nearby road.
"So how exactly did I end up a vampire, apart from that sick guy ordering it" she said as she ran after a scent.
"You drank from me. Your blood was replaced with mine, then I shared my essence with you when we slept together in the ground" he said and she looked at him.
"Eww" she said and he rolled his eyes.
"No, no, not sex Keely. It's tradition, is part of the process. I've been around for a long time and I don't understand how it works, it just does" he explained as she walked around a tree, trying to find the scent of an animal.
"Well all I know is, if I don't get home soon my daddy is going to kill me and I mean as in the buried forever in the ground, kinda dead. So you better take me home" she said and he looked at her with a sigh and a slightly amused look.
"Keely stop" he said.
"No" she said and he stood.
"Stop, now" he said and she sighed and he walked over and grabbed her arm.
"Sit" he said and she sighed as he sat her on a rock.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because we have to talk" he replied.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because there are things you must learn" he said.
"Why?" she asked, knowing sooner or later, she would annoy him.
"Because you are no longer human" he said and she looked at him.
"Why" she replied and he glared at her slightly.
"Because as I have been trying to explain to you, you have a new home and a new life since you are now a vampire" he said and she gave him a sad look.
"Why me? Why Jessica? We didn't do anything wrong" she said and he sighed.
"Because you were both unlucky, now come on" he said and she sighed and followed him down the road.
"So this means no more mummy and Daddy? No more high school? No more clarinet lessons? No more rules?" she asked and he shook his head and for a few seconds Keely was unsure whether to cheer or cry.
"Yes!" she shouted happily and he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Believe me, if you knew my parent's you would know that being away from them, even if I am now a vampire, is the best thing that could have happened to me...and to Jess" she said and he looked at her and she sighed.
"What happened?" he asked and she sighed.
"Let's just say our parents aren't exactly the spoiling, doting kind" she replied and then walked ahead, scenting something.
"There are rules" he said as he chased her and she looked at him.
"Crap to your rules" she said and then gasped.
"Oh my god, I can say Crap. Crap, crap. I can say anything want. Crap, shit, shit, ass, damn, hell, Fuck! Oh Fuck's a bad one. Fuck, fucker, fuck" she said and he looked at her and walked past her, listening to her curse and then giggle.
"What's another curse word so I can say it?" she asked and she rushed after him and he rolled his eyes at his new teenage progeny.
"If you'd calm down, I will teach you what it means to be a vampire" he said and she rolled her eyes.
"I know what it means, I can read" she said and he looked at her as she sat on a log, beside him.
"Fine, then tell me" he said and she looked at him with a serious face.
"It means...that I can kill anybody I want to. And there are a lot of people I would love to kill" she said and he sighed.
"I like your enthusiasm but you cannot just go around killing everyone you want" he said and she frowned.
"Why not? I'm a vampire, they can't stop me" she said and he sighed.
"Because with the power comes responsibly and since I am your maker, any mess you make I have to clean up...which I am not" he said and she huffed and began to pout.
"But why? You're being so mean and I'm starving but you won't let me have any fun and I'm so hungry and I want to kill the people that have done nasty things to me and...You...you suck" she ranted and he looked at her as she began to giggle.
"That's funny because you do suck" she laughed and he sighed and looked at her as she smiled and giggled.
"So will you" he said and her laughing stopped and she stomped her foot with a huff.
"I am not drinking human blood" she replied and stormed away.
"Keely stop now" he said and she sighed and stopped; one because he might take her to find blood that wasn't human and two because, well because she had no idea where she was.
"I will take you to my bar and get you a Tru Blood ok" he said and she looked at him and he sighed.
"Tru Blood is synthetic, it's created not from a human" he said and she smiled.
"Why didn't you say that before" she said and he sighed as she grabbed his arm and used her new strength and speed to drag him off. He sighed and grabbed her hand and then dragged her in the direction of his bar.
