Love the reviews! Please keep sending them in!

Faith smiled across the kitchen table at Sookie, Sookie knew what Faith was thinking and she was in shock at the memories faith was handing over to her.

"did you let him in..?" Sookie asked

Faith shook her head

Sookie shook her head "I cant believe it, I just cant believe it, Eric's in love"

Faith's smile faded "Sookie don't, ok please, I'm taking what I can get, don't push it"

Sookie raised her hands surrendering "did he say what he was going to do about Marco?" she slightly changed the subject

Faith shrugged shaking her head "Just that I shouldn't worry."

Sookie nodded "Nothing will happen to you, Eric runs a tight ship when it comes to his area, yea he's a prick about it but its well run" She explained

Faith nodded knowing she was right, that they were all right.

"You going to tell Sam?" Sookie asked

Faith didn't think about Sam until she mentioned. Faith buried her head in her hands "Shit, what am I supposed to say?"

Sookie shrugged "Sorry Id rather sleep with a vampire than you?" Sookie smiled

Faith furrowed "That's not funny"

Work was busy, Faith was relived because it didn't give her a chance to talk to Sam. She thought she maybe tell him about Marco's gang still doing his dirty work , but she didn't even have time to do that. Until new visitors of Merlottes came in.

Faith dropped her tray as she stood facing the vampire from Rusty's. The vampire smiled tilting his head "Well hello again darlin'"

Sam came out and saw faiths expression. "Hey we don't want no trouble here" He said

The vampire nodded "course not" He walked over to Sam, slapping Faith on the butt as he walked around her, faith yelped in fear, she thought for sure that this was the end of it all.

Sookie came out from the back and froze. The vampires smile grew as he saw Sookie. "No trouble at all, just saw these two lovely ladies the other night. Just wanted to sit and have a drink"

Sam nodded "Sure thing"

The vampire looked at Sookie than at Sam "say I'm lookin for someone, Faith Morrow, you know her? She's new to the area" The vampire said

Faiths jaw dropped Sookie.... Faith panicked

Sam thought about it. Trying to keep his expression straight "No never heard the name, maybe she just passed through for the day" He shrugged.

Faith was glad she didn't wear a name tag. Just then Bill and Eric blew in the door. Faith felt a sigh of relief as she saw Bill give a nod as they sat down in the booth.

The vampire sat down at a table in the back. Faith walked around back into Sam's office and began to sob. Sam followed her. Faith took a piece of paper and wrote on it.

The vampire I staked has a gang that is still causing trouble. I'm so sorry. I didn't think they would ever know.

Sam read the note and looked at faith's panicked expressed and hugged her. He pulled away looking at her "Its fine" he mouthed as he hugged her again. Faith nodded comforted slightly by his understanding she knew he would help her out in whatever way he could.

Faith took a few deep breaths and went back outside. "I just set a bottle of trueblood on the table for him" Sookie nodded

Faith nodded. She looked over at Eric who was watching the vampire stare at his bottle, obviously he wasn't waiting around just to have a drink, he knew Sam was lying. Eric looked at Faith, his expression didn't change when he looked at her, he was all business tonight, but from last night she knew his heart. Unfortunately when a vampire comes crawling into Merlottes, most of the customers file out, they don't want the drama. Faith didn't blame them, this was her mess she didn't mean for any of this to happen. She might as well just walk up to him and tell him who she was, get it over with quick and save everyone the trouble. Just then Sookie grabbed Faiths arm hard with a stern look, she shook her head "Do not even think about it" she said quietly

Faith walked over to Bill and Eric's table "What can I get you guys" she acted as if nothing was wrong

"Two bottles of B positive" Bill smiled, Eric looked at him disgusted Faith don't worry Eric and I are going to stay till the end of your girls' shift.

Faith nodded "Sure thing" she began to turn on her heel when she heard the vampire at the back.

"Oh miss" he grinned. Faith swallowed hard and walked over. "I don't think I asked you, I'm lookin for someone, fits your description real nice"

Faith tilted her head I'd bet my two front teeth that's her, stupid bitch stakin Marco, I ought to rip her throat out right now...

Faith quivered and in that second the vampire had her by the throat an the table "I fuckin knew it was you, I can still smell him on you, what makes you think you can stake a vampire and get away with it"

Eric and bill were behind him and pulled him off as faith rolled off the table, Sam and Sookie were at her side.

"I suggest you leave and don't come back" Bill said

The vampire jerked around between Bill and Eric "No Bill he should stay, I'd like a few words with him, you have been causing some problems in my area, the girl is with us, Marco had what was coming to him" Eric said tilting his head, he was enforcing his authority on the vampire

Faith sat on the floor with her hand around her neck watching the conversation Eric was having with the vampire.

"Now why don't you sit down and tell my friend Bill and I how many of you there are and we can settle this"

Vampire laughed "I'm not telling you nothing, you're not going to do anything to me, not with the tribunal having say at least"

Eric smiled "See that's where you're wrong, the tribunal has already spoken, and it isn't in your favour, nor was it in Marcos for that matter"

The vampires smile faded and he shook his head "There's 4 of us, they all have a name and a description that's it" he was starting to break by the intimidation.

Eric nodded, "where are they?"

"Ones in Shreveport, Monroe, and baton rouge, they are supposed to meet me here in Bon Temps tonight"

Eric let him down "Go tell your friends, she isn't here, that she died, I don't care, but if you and your friends come back I will rip you apart piece by piece"

The vampire nodded and gathered himself as he stood on his own. As he ran out Sookie ran to Bill and hugged him. Eric went down to look at Faiths neck. Sam still stood over her with a sour look on his face.

Eric ignored it "You alright?" he asked Faith

Faith nodded. She rubbed her neck a little, she couldn't speak much so she kept quiet. "Ok why don't I take you home" He said

Faith started to stand and looked at Eric who had already clued in. She looked over at Sookie and Bill. "Sam why don't we close up, looks like no one else is comin in tonight" Sookie said

Same nodded "Yeah good idea. Can you stay back help lock up" Sookie nodded.

Eric and Faith stood at the doorway, as faith walked in she forgot that she still hadn't invited Eric inside yet, she shook her head and tried to speak "Please come in eric" She squeaked out.

Eric didn't find the humor in her voice as little as it sounded. He looked at her as she stared back at him, he then put his hand on her collar bone, his thumb grazing the bruise that already had formed. She placed her hand on his, and looked up at him. His cold hand sent a chill down her spine, the feeling was growing on her, as the attraction grew for him it started to arouse her even.

"Stay with me tonight" she said
