"Isabel?" Italani said when she saw the female in her bedroom, changing from the black leather clothes she had been wearing.
"I'm sorry Italani. I know I shouldn't have gone to pieces like that but..." she began.
"Don't worry about it. Godric understands and Eric...well he just does as he's told" she said with a soft laugh.
"I thought he loved me" Isabel said and Italani sighed.
"He did, sweetie, of course he did. He just got carried away. He wanted to be with you forever. What I don't understand is why you didn't just turn him" she said and Isabel sighed.
"I remember when I was turned, Italani. I could never put Hugo through that" she said and Italani sighed. Godric and Eric were the only ones to know about the circumstances under which she herself had been turned.
"I was a prostitute" she said and Isabel gasped and spun around to look at the brunette.
"What? You look no older than 17" she said and Italani smiled softly.
"I'm actually a little older, 19. I had been in my garden with my father when we were attacked. My mother had grown tired of my father and had wanted him dead. She had never liked me, said I was always in her way. My father ran to save me but the man killed him before he could. I was raped and tortured for three days before Eric saved me. He had wanted to use the house for him and Godric when he found out what was happening. He killed all of the guards and then picked me up and took me back to Godric, who turned me on the spot. I woke three nights later and we gave my father a real burial. I still go back to his grave every time I go back to Italia. Believe me Isabel I know the feeling of betrayal. I never got to see what became of my treacherous mother but a few nights after I was turned, Eric retuned looking far too happy with himself for me to even care. He hardly ever smiled back then, so to see him smile so brightly and be so excited and child-like. I didn't care what he had done to achieve it. The next time after that, when I saw him so happy was the first time he and I met Pam" she said and Isabel smiled softly.
"I'm so sorry Italani" she said and Italani smiled and nodded and was about to answer when she heard a commotion in the main room. The two females ran out and Italani immediately took her place beside Eric and Godric as Godric held onto the throat of a strange, unknown vampiress.
"...but in this area and certainly this nest I am the authority. Do you understand?" Godric asked deadly calm.
"Yes sheriff" she said reluctantly and he slowly let her throat go.
"This human has proven herself to be courageous and a loyal friend to our kind and yet you treat her like a child does a dragonfly, pulling off wings for sport. No wonder they hate us" Godric said, meaning Sookie, and the female looked at him.
"She provoked me" she replied, angrily.
"And you provoke me. You disrupted the peace in my own home. I could snap you like a twig, but I haven't now why is that?" he asked and she sighed slightly.
"It's...your choice" she replied softly.
"Indeed it is. You're an old vampire, I can tell. You've had hundreds of years to better yourself and yet you haven't. You're still a savage and I fear for all of us, Humans and Vampires if this behaviour persists" Godric warned before turning to Bill and Sookie.
"You" he said and Bill stepped forward.
"You seem to know her" Godric said and Bill looked at the ground, ashamed of his maker.
"Yes Sheriff" he admitted.
"Escort her from the nest" Godric said and Bill looked at him and then looked at Sookie.
"Go ahead. I'm fine" Sookie said and Bill nodded.
"I wish you out of my area before dawn" Godric warned and the female shamefully stood and then left followed by Bill. Italani stood alone, watching people talk and laugh.
"You alone?" she heard Jason Stackhouse ask and looked over her shoulder and gave him a smile.
"Hello Mr. Stackhouse" she said and he looked at her.
"Hello miss..." he began and she smiled.
"You could not pronounce my last name, let's just go with Italani" she said and he nodded and with a grin.
"Jason" he said and she smiled.
"So you used to use V?" she asked and he sighed and gently turned her to face him.
"Look I was totally messed up. My Gran had just died, which left me and Sook alone and then she started dating Bill and I had no job and...I was just lost ok. I don't use it anymore and I'm real sorry" he said and she smiled.
"I understand, when I get that way, I usually fight with Stan" she said and he looked at her.
"He's huge. He'd just sit on you" he said and she laughed softly.
"He is much larger than myself I admit, but I am also over 400 years older than he" she said and he gasped.
"Damn" he said and she smiled.
"How old do you think I am?" she asked and he looked at her, up and down as she gave an amused smirk.
"22" he said and she smiled.
"Biologically I'm 19 but Technically, I'm 803" she said and he gasped.
"You look bloody sexy for 800" he said and she smiled.
"Special diet" she said and he grinned.
"Up to sharing?" he asked and she laughed.
"Leave her Eric" Eric heard his maker say as he watched Italani talking and shockingly laughing with Jason Stackhouse.
"But he's..." he began and Godric gave a soft smile.
"Making her laugh" he ended and Eric sighed and nodded before the two began a general conversation about Fangtasia and Pam.
