MARRY THE NIGHT
Chapter Nine: Baby He's So Cruel
The next afternoon was a pretty peaceful one after the other day when Lafayette saved her from Jason's basement and freed her and Eddie. Lafayette himself called and started to bitch about the senator guy who visited him the day of Arlene and Rene's party, saying how he was completely against gays and vampires even though he heavily enjoyed the gay man's skillful mouth. He told her he wouldn't be working at Merlotte's that night to go and handle his shit and she smiled, shaking her head and wishing him good luck. The rest of the day went by smoothly and later that evening she learned that Tara was thrown in jail for drunk driving and that her mother wasn't going to bail her out even though she was an ex-alcoholic for fifteen years. Doe already didn't like the woman and she vowed to visit Tara in the morning since visiting hours were over for the day. She also received a call from Pam who started explaining that she was annoyed that Doe wasn't visiting the bar. With a roll of her eyes, the mermaid said she could come visit soon and that she didn't want to see Eric, which caused the female blonde to smirk into the phone. Pam told her that it would easier for her to come see the mermaid herself but Eric would be pissed if she did because he was already annoyed of having to handle a newborn vampire.
Doe was confused about the newborn and Pam chuckled, telling the silver haired female to ask Bill about it and hung up after telling her that she demanded a sexy pair of black lingerie when she visited next. After bidding Pam farewell, she started receiving texts from Eric himself saying he didn't like her talking to Pam so much and she scoffed. Maybe if he wasn't such an ass than maybe she would be nice and talk to him as well. After sending him an angry message she shut her phone and sat in her kitchen as she waited for her homemade lasagna to finish cooking.
Morning came quickly and Doe was hurrying to get out of the house so that she could visit Tara in her jail sell. When she arrived at the Bon Temps police department, she met a female officer named Kenya who led her in to see Tara. "Tara!" She called once she was inside and the black female shot up from her cell bed, her eyes widening when she saw Doe outside the bars. "Doe!" Kenya shut the door behind her and both women rushed to the bars and the silver haired woman could see the tears starting to form in Tara's eyes. "Oh Tara..." She started and the black woman almost started to cry right then and there, but she knew she was trying to be strong. "My fuckin' Mama wouldn't bail me out... After all I've done for her!" She shouted and Doe sighed, reaching into the cell to rub her friend's cheek. "I've heard... It's gotten around town and I heard it from one of those church ladies that knows Maxine." She explained and the older woman scowled. "What is with this damn town and gossiping every little damn thing?!"
"I've noticed that around here..." Doe admitted and Tara sighed heavily.
"No one is going to bail me out of here, Doe- And don't you dare do it! You don't have the money too and you know it!" She shouted and Doe shut her mouth, letting a sigh of her own leave her lips. "I have my Aunt's money, Tara. I can get you out." She said softly and Tara shook her head, moving around from the bars to grip onto her hair. "No, no! I can't let you do that! You still haven't found a job in this stinkin' town and you need that money to live! I can't and won't have you bail me out of here. That's supposed to be my mama's job but we all know that ain't happening." Silence enveloped the room and Doe watched sadly as Tara moved back over to her cot, bending forward and holding her head in her hands while grumbling under her breath. "Tara... I-" The mermaid started, but was interrupted when the door opened back up and Kenya stood in the doorway with a mysterious woman behind her. "Tara, get up. This lady paid your bail. You're free to go. Straighten up. I don't wanna see you back here again." She explained and the two friends were shocked to hear those words, turning to one another to see the similar expressions they both wore. "My shift's over in five minutes. There's papers to sign on the way out. You know the drill."
"Thank you, Kenya." The woman said as the female police officer left the room, leaving the three women alone to talk. "Who are you? Why'd you pay my bail?" Tara demanded, unsure of the stranger and the woman laughed lightly with a small smile. "My name's Maryann Forrester. And I'd like to help you, if you'll let me." She explained and Tara rose an eyebrow in confusion. "What are you, some kind of social worker?"
"Yeah, that's about right. Kenya knows me. I'm in and out of here all the time with people in your position."
"My position." The black woman deadpanned but Maryann seemed to ignore it. "DUIs, minor assaults, public drunkenness. You know, those times when things go just a little too far. It can happen to anyone. Now, I expect you have your reasons?" She questioned and Tara scoffed. "Yeah, I got reasons." Tara snapped and Maryann nodded, seeming to not notice that Doe was in the room. "Well, I would be very happy to give you a ride home." She offered. "No, thanks."
"Well, they gave me your address. You can't walk there, it's too far."
"I can't... I got kicked out."
"You don't have anywhere to go? No family? No friends?" Maryann questioned, finally looking over at Doe who glared at the strange woman, not liking the strange smirk that rested on her lips. "Not even you?" She asked and Doe's eyes widened, how dare this woman? The mermaid was about to snap at her for her rudeness but Tara quickly stepped in. "Doe has done enough for me and I don't want the others to see me like this. It's okay. I'll think of something, Doe doesn't need to babysit me. Doe, keep your mouth shut." She told the silver haired female who wanted very much to argue, but groaned in response and leaned against the bars while crossing her arms over her chest.
"Tara... I'm sure you've barely slept or eaten. Why don't you come to my home? Just till you get things figured out." Maryann offered and Tara looked over with surprise evident in her eyes, but wasn't sure how to answer her. "I don't know, I..." She stuttered but was interrupted. "Oh, no, no, there's plenty of room. I do this all the time. It's sort of an informal halfway house."
"Doesn't seem right."
"I know what you mean. But you can shower, you can wash your clothes. You can let me feed you. Then you can go on your way and my conscience will be clear."
"You're not a jesus person are you?" Tara bluntly asked and Maryann laughed, shaking her head as she placed her hand on her hip. "No. No. Nothing against religion but not a Jesus person. Okay. Well here's my card, in case you change your mind." She said while handing Tara the card. "Good luck, Tara." She bid her farewell to Doe as well and right before she left the room, Tara jumped against the bars and Doe softly sighed, knowing that was about to happen. "Wait."
After Tara was released and went off with that Maryann chick who Doe had a very bad feeling about, she heard that Jason was now in jail for admitting to killing Amy and at this Doe was shocked. She knew that the blonde loved her even though she was insane... But he would never kill her. Around town she heard that he woke up to find she had been strangled to death and he didn't remember what happened, but with her lying next to him dead he knew he must have done it. With a heavy sigh, she hauled herself back to police station and noticed that Andy had the biggest smile on his face and it made her sick. Did this guy get off from putting the male Stackhouse behind bars? With a look of disgust, she made her way into the back and entered the room of cells to see Jason softly hitting his head against the cement walls. "Jason... What are you doing?" She asked and he quickly jumped away from the wall, staring over at the silver haired woman with wide eyes. "Hey... You okay?" She asked softly as she moved over to the bars and after a while he composed himself, avoiding her gaze as he nodded. "Yeah, I'm okay."
"You don't seem okay, seeing as you were just hitting your head against the wall." Doe said with a slight laugh and that earned a small chuckle from the blonde which was what she wanted. "Yeah, I guess you're right." He gave her a small smile before it slowly dropped from his lips, guilt starting to circle within his eyes. "Are you... Okay?" He finally asked her and now Doe was surprised. "Am I okay? Of course I am- Ooh." She muttered slowly when she realized that he was talking about the basement incident with Eddie. "Yes, I'm okay. Just a small bruise from that was all the damage." She told him, not wanting admit that she had been a bit terrified of him, he didn't need any more guilt riding through him. "I... I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have attacked you like i did... I had no idea what came over me. I am so sorry."
"It's okay, Jason. You weren't exactly right in the head with all that vampire blood you had been drinking." She said softly and he nodded, a small chuckle leaving his lips as he lowered himself down into the bed within his cell. "I can't believe I let her get to me... I thought she was the one, Doe. But the V... Kidnapping poor Eddie... Why did that have to be the destruction of our relationship? Why couldn't we argue like a normal couple about moving in together or who buys groceries and about our future." Jason finished, sighing deeply after his small ramble. "Thank you." He said next, causing the silver haired woman to blink. "Excuse me?"
"Thank you for getting Eddie out of there. I don't know what would have happened if we kept him locked up... I don't know what Amy would have done." He admitted and Doe gave a soft smile, wrapping her fingers over the silver bars as she looked in at him. "You're a good guy, Jason. Eddie could see that. He wanted me to thank you for the kindness you gave him, despite the kidnapping." She said with a small giggle and he chuckled with her, both not noticing the new bodies that entered the room. "You only have five minutes with him. Five minutes." One of the police officers said, catching the friend's attentions. "Mr. Stackhouse?" The new man asked, Jason seeming very confused and cautious on who he was and why he was asking for him. "Yeah?" The man gave a look over to Doe and she only glared right back at him, the man coughing into his hand before continuing to speak. "My name is Orry Dawson."
"Oh, I told them I don't need no lawyer." He said, as if people had asked him this a few times before. "I'm not a lawyer. I'm here on behalf of the Fellowship of the Sun." Hearing the name caused Doe to gasp softly, but Jason must not have heard it because he slowly stood up to face the man fully. "What, that anti-vampire church?" He questioned and Orry nodded. "We are a religious organization dedicated to the preservation and salvation of the human race." He explained and Doe only narrowed her eyes, while Jason continued to listen. "Oh, good, because I thought you just hated vampires. And I used to, but then I got to know one and he was a pretty decent guy. Until I almost got him killed..."
"You see, that's where you're wrong. It's a same that you hadn't been able to kill him, but that was still a service to y our race and to Jesus. You should be proud of that."
"...Yeah."
"You know, last year there were over 800 reported vampire-related attacks in Louisiana alone, and the law won't do nothing about it. They are too busy respecting those fiends and their civil rights. Well, what about our rights? Our rights to safe on our own neighborhoods, our rights to our own blood."
"I don't know nothing about that." Jason said but Orry only continued, Doe definitely not liking the man. "Look... Officially the Church can't condone what you did. You took the lives of four women, women who tainted themselves and their race, but still, human women. Hey. But we do recognize that even though your methods may have been flawed, your intentions were pure." He said and both Jason and Doe looked at the man with wide eyes. The killings were pure? "I got no idea what you're talking about." The blonde man said and Orry only smiled.
"That's smart. Don't admit to anything. The Church has started up a fund for your defense. In the meantime," He started as he handed Jason a prospectus. "here's something to help you pass the time. You are a brave soldier, Jason Stackhouse." The silver haired woman gave a slight growl and the blonde looked from the book to the man a few times before slowly saying. "Okay." Orry gave a final smile before he made his way to the door, looking over his shoulder at the two. "God loves you. You will be saved."
With a heavy sigh and a quick slap to her face, Doe tried to wake herself up as she walked down the forest pathway to get to her house. She was happy that Tara was able to leave with Maryann but that didn't mean she couldn't worry and she was almost enraged that a member of the Fellowship of the Sun had come to visit Jason. This was something that Godric had to hear... They were in Louisiana. After talking with Jason, Doe realized that she was starting to miss Sookie Stackhouse, even though she knew the female blonde seemed to want nothing to do with her after the whole 'Hey, I'm a mermaid!' fiasco at Fangtasia. She also hadn't heard from Bill either and that was causing her to be curious after Pam told her that there was a newborn running around and Bill was the person to talk to about it. A few different ideas ran through her head, but the only one she could think of was related to him killing Longshadow that night. She didn't know much about vampire laws, though Godric had always filled her in on a few rules.
She knew that vampires were forbidden to kill other vampires and that was something that Bill had done. But she didn't know if it would be considered okay since he tried to kill Sookie who was Bill's human... The mermaid was unsure, but sighed and decided that she would go and question Bill about it later that night. She ran her hand through her short hair and looked up from the ground, blinking in surprise when she noticed a familiar blonde running right at her. "Sookie?" She muttered, confused on what was happening. "Hey, Sookie!" The mermaid called and watched as the blonde quickly turned her eyes over to her, both growing wide with shock at seeing her. "What is going on? Why are you-?" Doe wasn't able to finish the sentence because the blonde gripped onto her upper arm and started pulling her through the woods toward the cemetery. "Whoa! Sookie, what you doing?!"
"No time to talk, just run!" She instructed, panic coating her words, which made Doe's own eyes widen for a moment before she was tugged behind a large tree. "Sookie. Come on, Sookie." A familiar voice said, surprising Doe as Sookie tried to shush her. "Let's be... Let's be friends. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Sookie, I was just playing. Sookie? Seriously, I was just kidding." He started saying, but the silver haired woman could tell that there was a hint of sarcasm lacing his words. "What is going on?" She whispered quietly and the blonde could only shake her head, gripping onto her arm once again to start running through the trees for another hiding spot. "Rene is the murderer! I've been reading his mind and... Oh god... He killed my Gran!" She choked out and if Doe's eyes could have popped out of her head, they would have by now. "W-what?" She muttered in shock and the blonde nodded, looking over her shoulder to see if he had followed. "I couldn't believe it either... But his name really ain't Rene either. It's Drew Marshall. He lived a few towns over and killed his sister Cindy the same way as Maudette and Dawn. Mostly for being with vampires..."
The twenty-two year old didn't want to believe that Rene could be behind all of the murders... He had Arlene, Coby and Lisa! What would lead him to do such a cruel thing...? "Sookie... I..." Doe wasn't able to finish her sentence, because the blonde was then dragged out from behind the tree and screamed when she noticed it was Rene who grabbed her. "Mind-reading, vampire-fucker freak bitch! You think you're so smart? You smart now?" He started as he began to beat her, Doe screaming out and catching him off guard momentarily after he put his hands around her neck for a strangle. "Doe...?" Since the Sookie could tell he was distracted, she kneed him in the gut and when he hands release, crawled away from her and back behind the silver haired female. "You weren't supposed to be here..." He said as he slowly pushed himself up from the ground, Doe taking a heavy breath before staring right at Rene, unsure of what to do. "Why are you doing this...?" She asked him and he gave her a smirk, one that she had never seen on his lips... It made him look like a completely different person.
"They deserve to die, Doe!" He shouted, tossing his arm to the side as a low growl left his lips. "These... These... Fang-bangers! Choosing the dead over the living! Their own kind!" Doe remained silent through his rant, but she could feel the blonde shaking behind her back, gripping onto her shoulders for support after his beating. "I never meant to kill Adele... But I couldn't have her discover my plan, it was you that was meant to die that night, Sookie!" He seethed and tried to reach around Doe to get to her, but Doe growled and bared her own fangs, startling Rene back at the sight of the two rows of sharp teeth. "What... What the fuck?!"
"Vampires and Humans aren't the only creatures that walk this earth, Rene. Does that mean I'm meant to die too?" She softly demanded, the man unsure of what to do or say... "Doe... I..." Before he could speak another word, a loud scream of pain left his lips and all eyes turned to see a Border Collie gripping onto the back of his leg. "Fucking dog!" He shouted and kicked it away, starting to attack it viciously. "No, Rene, stop!" Doe shouted as she jumped over at him and pulled him away from the dog, the mermaid noticing his eyes go wide when it slowly turned back into Sam Merlotte in front of his eyes. "Fuck. What the fuck are you? What the fuck?" Rene shouted and Doe sighed, using her inhuman strength to keep him in his spot. "I told you, humans aren't the only creatures that walk this earth, Rene..."
Another growl left his lips and he turned sharply, surprising the silver haired female before his fist collided with her cheek, a loud crack being heard before she fell to the floor in front of Sookie's feet, who screamed. "Fuck you, you fucking freak! Fucking sick fuck!" He continued to shout, turning back to Sam and kicking him another for good measure before turning back to the fallen Doe. "I never thought I would have to do this to you, Doe..." He admitted, slowly moving over to her after Sookie fell to the ground after trying to escape, watching as he bent down in front of the mermaid who had tears in her eyes from the pain of the punch. With a scowl, he gripped onto her neck and towered over her body when her back collided with the ground and her breath starting to cut off. "Die, you fucking freak of nature! Die!"
Doe's eyes were beginning to turn foggy and she could no longer see Rene's angry eyes anymore, only his outline and the shaking of his shoulders. But what caught her eyes the most was the guilt and remorse that were filling his own eyes as he strangled her. If she could speak she would tell him that everything would be all right and that she would help him... But her air was locked and her hands slowly released his wrists, falling to the ground at her side as the darkness slowly consumed her. The last thing she witnessed was Sookie appear at Rene's side and hitting him over the head with the shovel, her shoulder's heaving up and down in a rage but it was quickly lost when she bent down in front of the mermaid and started calling her name with tears running down her eyes, a naked Sam quickly at her side. The two continued to shout her name but Doe let her eyes finally shut and the darkness consume her, the vision of her friends vanishing behind a quiet, black blanket...
"Ugh..." A sore and stiff Doe moaned as she put her hand to her head, groaning softly at the pain she was feeling all over her body. "She's awake!" A voice called and she easily recognized it as Tara's... "Tara...?" She muttered and slowly opened her eyes, spotting Tara hovering above her with Sam and Lafayette with him. "Oh thank god you're awake." She said with a heavy sigh, gently running her hand down her the pale woman's cheek. "You gave us quite a scare out there." She told her and Doe's eyes quickly widened, shooting up from the couch to look around but winced in pain at the soreness of her neck and cheek. "Hey, you lay back down on that couch." Lafayette scolded as he gently took her shoulders and guided her back into the couch cushions, ignoring her protests to get up. "Everything has been taken care of." He said and her eyes widened. "What do you mean everything has been taken care of? What happened?"
The three friends looked at each other in silence, before Sam sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Rene's gone, Doe..." He said and her eyes widened, the harsh truth starting to slowly sink in... "Sookie killed him with the shovel, she decapitated him." A long silence was heard and the silver haired woman sadly sighed, leaning back into the couch and covering her eyes with his arms. "...I could have helped him." She muttered and Tara sighed, placing her hands on her hips as she spoke. "There wasn't anything you could have done, Doe." She said and Doe shook her head, throwing her arms away from her eyes. "Yes, there was was!" She shouted, surprising the black woman when tears started to form within her blue eyes. "I could have helped him..." The three friends took another look at one another and Sam sighed, bending forward and wrapping his arm around Doe's shoulders in a gentle embrace. "I'm sorry, Doe."
The room was silent and Doe noticed that Sookie was on the other couch across from her with Arlene, it took her a moment but she realized that she was in Adele's house and that the blonde was acting a little loopy. "It's the drugs the doctor gave her." Lafayette said with a slight smirk after seeing her questioning face. "She'll be alright. Just some heavy bruising but nothing was broken." The silver haired woman nodded and let the other two hug her before she watched them walk outside, Arlene still talking to Sookie on the other side. After a few minutes, the door slammed open and the three women looked to the door to see Jason there, breathing heavily from the running. "Jason." Sookie starts with surprise when her brother rushes over and pulls her into his arms, a deep sigh leaving his lips. "I've never been happier to see you in my life."
"That's nice, but sweetie, I'm black and blue all over and you're squeezing me."
"Oh, sorry. Shit. Look what that son of a bitch did to you. I can't believe I gave him my truck. If he was still alive right now, I'd fucking kill him again." He said and Doe let a soft sigh leave her lips, noticing the large sob that came from Arlene's lips when he said that. "Excuse me." She muttered before leaving the room in tears and Jason groaned, feeling extremely guilt at his word choice. "Me and my mouth." He said and Sookie rubbed his shoulder. "She'll be all right. Eventually." The blonde nodded and slowly looked over at Doe, his eyes widening at the large bruise on her cheek and finger mark bruises along her neck. "Oh, shit, Doe! He got you too?" He said as he pushed himself up from Sookie's couch and moved over to her, sitting on his knees and gently rubbing down her cheek but moved back when she winced. "That son of a bitch..."
"I'm fine, Jason." Doe said softly, not wanting Jason to hate his old best friend more than he probably already was. With a heavy sigh, the blonde pulled back from her and ran his hand through his hair, looking back at Sookie. "You know, I was sitting in that jail and I just kept thinking about all the stupid stuff I'd done." He said and Sookie sat up fully, rolling her eyes. "That must have kept you busy." She said and he only continued. "And I know it seems like all I ever think of is myself and drinking and chasing women. But that's only because I thought that's all I was good at."
"That's not true. You were good at football."
"Not good enough for a scholarship. I ain't never been good enough for anything or anybody. Well, except maybe Amy. But she's gone, so... so I was in there, waiting to die too and I realized my life wasn't worth nothing. I've never done nothing worth being proud of. All I could think to do was to end it." He said and Sookie was surprised to hear him admit all these things. "Jason..." She started but he stopped it, wanting to continue. "No, it's okay, because then something happened. Sook, I was saved. I was given a second chance. And now I know that all this bad stuff that happened, it happened for a reason."
"What's that?"
"I ain't sure yet, but I do know I'm meant to do something important with my life. And as soon as I find out what that is, I ain't gonna fuck it up." The blonde female gave a small nod and smiled softly at her brother, event though she was a little confused on where he was trying to go with what he was saying. "That's good, I guess." Jason could only smile. "Yeah. I love you, Sook. And I'm gonna take good care of you from now on, I promise." He told her and she laughed. "How about you just take care of yourself and stay out of trouble." She bargained and he shook his head. "No, you don't have to worry about me no more. I'm good." With that, Jason kissed both female's on the cheek and left the house, the two unsure of what he was doing but as long as he seemed happy they wouldn't argue against him.
After arguing with Sookie and Sam, Doe was finally able to go home only if Sam drove her, which he did. Now the silver haired woman laid in her bed with a large pack of ice resting against her cheek and staring up at the ceiling, a new past time she has come to find comfort in since moving to Bon Temps. Right when she felt it was the time to shut her eyes and fall asleep, her phone started going off on the dresser and her eyes shot open. That ringtone... Quickly, let painfully, her body shot up from the bed and reached over to grab the phone and answer it. "H-hello...?" She grumbled and silence was met with her answer, groaning when she knew that he could tell she was in pain. "I'm okay, Godric-"
"What happened now?" He demanded softly and she sighed, not knowing the perfect way to describe her injury... "...Hold on." She put the call on speaker and moved through her Iphone apps to the camera, holding it above her head so that she could take a picture of her damaged cheek and bruised neck. After taking the picture, she sent it straight to Godric and waited, letting the phone rest against her chest still on speaker. "Vem gjorde det?!" Was the first thing he shouted, his tone causing her to wince. "Vad har jag sagt om att vara försiktig? Hur kan du vara så slarvig? Dorian du behöver fundera innan du handlar!" He shouted and Doe knew that he was right, she should have been more careful, she shouldn't have let Rene take control of the situation when she could have done something... "...I'm sorry..." She muttered, stopping Godric from his rant when he heard her starting to softly cry. "Jag är ledsen..."
A heavy sigh left the two-thousand year old vampire's lips and Doe could hear him storming around his room on the other head, muttering curses under his breath in his native tongue. "...There's something else..." She started with a small hiccup, hearing Godric stop pacing on his end. "I ran into someone from the Fellowship of the Sun today..." The mermaid told him softly, knowing that he had probably gone rigged after hearing that. "...Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded, leaning back against her pillows. "I'm sure, he announced himself so proudly... He was trying to get one of my friends to come and join them." Silence was once again met between the two companions and a small sigh could be heard from Godric's lips. "I see." He started, Doe able to tell that he was thinking hard about the new information. "They seem to be taking more steps than I had thought."
"What do you think this means?" She asked him and he sighed, unsure. "I'm not sure. It just means that we have to be extra careful now." He told her and she nodded, wincing when she pressed the ice too hard against her cheek. "O-ow..." She grumbled and that only caused Godric to go on full alert. "Have you been to hospital yet?" He asked and she shook her head. "No, I haven't..." Before he could argue, she stopped him. "I don't want to file a report, Godric..." Doe said softly and another deep sigh left his lips, but she could tell that he would agree with her since he was still in Texas and couldn't make her do it. "All right, just be careful, Dorian. Please." He said and she nodded, a small smile on her lips. "I will, I promise, Godric." The two bid their farewells and with a heavy sigh, Doe tossed it on the other side of her bed and happily fell into a deep sleep. Hoping not to dream about Rene as long as she could...
2 Weeks Later...
"At least the swelling has gone down." Doe muttered to herself as she stared at her reflection, touching the side of her cheek since the pain had finally started to subside. "It still looks gross though." She groaned and dug through her make up, hoping to find some more make up to use to cover it. "I'm out?" She softly whined when she found her cover up, noticing that the liquid make up had finally come to it's end after she had used it so much during the past two weeks. Slamming the make up back on her vanity, she stood up and grumbled as she walked down her stairs and into the kitchen, hoping to find something alcoholic to calm her down. As she moved into the kitchen, she started to search through her cabinets, but a knock at her door stopped her in her tracks. 'Who could that be?' She wondered as she pulled a white wine from the fridge, setting it on the table before walking over to the door to open it. "Yes, how can I-?" She started, but froze with wide eyes when a smirking Pam and Eric stood in her doorway, both enjoying the scene of her wearing a tight tank top and booty shorts. "Is this for us?"
Pam asked as she took in the tight clothes with a lick of her red lips and Doe still only standing silently, her eyes slightly wide at their arrival. "Cat got your tongue?" Eric purred and the silver haired woman finally fell back into reality, looking between the two blondes that stood on her porch. "What are you two doing here?" She questioned, not trying to be mean, only curious. "We were in the neighborhood visiting Mr. Compton and decided to drop by." Eric said with his famous smirk and Doe rolled her eyes, Pam crossing her arms over her chest. "We haven't seen you for weeks, and you weren't coming to Fangtasia. So coming to you was the only choice." She said and the silver haired woman rolled her eyes again, but allowed a small smile to appear on her lips. "Come on in, Pam." She said and the blonde female quickly entered, running her hair through the mermaid's hair as she passed, Eric still standing in the doorway. "What about me?" He asked and Doe crossed her arms over her chest, using one finger to tap against her chin. "Hmm. Not sure if I want to let you in or not."
She said, chuckling when the tall vampire growled, towering over her through the doorway. "Not funny." He said and Pam smirked from behind Doe, placing her hands on her lips. "On the contrary, I find it hilarious." Eric glared over at his progeny and she only smirked before moving into the living room, leaving the two alone. "Do you promise to be good?" She asked him, watching as he arched an eyebrow at her question, but sighed when it turned back into a smirk. "When haven't I been good?" He asked and she rolled her eyes, putting her hands on her lips. "Just get in here, but remember I can toss you out." She warned and he smirked, walking into the house and moving into the living room after Pam, but not before slapping her on the butt as he moved. "Eric!" She screeched and he ignored her scream, sitting on the arm of the couch as Pam sat on it. "What did you do now?" She asked her maker and he chuckled. "Nothing she didn't like."
"You're an ass."
"Again with the wounds, Pamela. You hurt me." Pam rolled her eyes and he smirked, leaning back into the couch and putting his long arms over the back, watching as Doe took her seat in the couch on the other side of the vampires. "What did you need with, Bill?" She decided to ask first, curious on why the two would be visiting him in Bon Temps instead of having him come to their bar like usual. "We were just returning what was his." Pam answered, causing the silver haired woman to look over at her with confusion. "Returning what is his? What does that mean?" She asked and Eric chuckled, running his hand through his hair. "Let's just say it was part of Bill's punishment for killing Longshadow." With that, Doe's eyes widened and Pam smirked, bending forward so that she could place her forefinger under the mermaid's chin. "You look surprised. He killed another vampire; of course he would be needing a punishment. But this was pretty tame compared to what the Magister really wanted to do to him."
"Pamela." Eric growled in warning and the blonde female rolled her eyes, moving back to sit against the couch's arm next to her Maker. "What? She'd figure it out sooner or later." She said and Eric scowled, telling her something in Swedish, which caused her to growl back. "...Did Bill have to make a vampire?" She guessed innocently, jumping back with wide eyes when the two blondes looked over at her with shock. "...I was right?" She almost squeaked and Pam smirked, looking down at her Maker who glared back at her. "Told you." Eric mumbled something under his breath before looking over at Doe, a small smirk playing back on his lips. "Yes. Bill needed to make a new vampire to replace the one he killed." He explained and she nodded silently, letting the new information sink in. "She was driving us insane so we took her back to Bill." Pam said, examining her nails. "Newborns are such a nuisance."
"Wait, if she was Bill's vampire, why did you have her?"
"We made a deal with him that we could keep her, but as Pam said, she was too much of a nuisance so we brought her back. He wasn't too pleased." Eric said with a dark chuckle and Doe rolled her eyes, knowing how much Eric liked to torment Bill. "So, it was a girl?" She asked and Pam nodded, letting her eyes trail away from her nails. "A red head. Seventeen or so I think." Doe's eyes widened at the information, nodding slowly at the age. "Seventeen huh... That's young." The two blondes only shrugged. "There are younger vampires." Eric told her, surprising her. "But enough about Bill as his progeny. What happened to your face?" He asked, his voice lowering darkly and she almost gasped at the anger that seemed to be floating in both their eyes. "O-oh... My face..." She muttered, cursing herself for not being able to cover the mark on her face. If only she had enough make up to cover it... "Dorian."
Doe winced back at the tone of Eric's voice and finally sighed, leaning back into her couch as she ran her hand through her short hair. "There have been a series of murders happening here in Bon Temps, if you remember, we were investigating them the first time we entered your bar." The two seemed to remember since they had looked at the two pictures and she continued on. "Two more women were murdered and we found out who the killer was, he was a friend of ours and tried to kill Sookie and I got in the way-" She wasn't able to finish because Pam had suddenly appeared in front of her, gently grabbing onto her jaw and turning her face so she could see the damage. "It's not as bad as it was..." Doe muttered as Pam traced her forefinger down the slight bruising that still rested on her pale skin. "It was a pretty bad break though... Taken longer than normal to heal..."
"What happened to the killer?" Eric asked, his voice stern as he kept his eyes on her form, his fingers tapping against his knee. "He... He's dead. Sookie decapitated him after she got him away from choking me. I had finger bruises for days, but those have already vanished." Pam didn't seem to like hearing that she had also been choked, so she growled and moved from the couch and back over to Eric who also wasn't happy about the news. "I'm fine now though." Doe said, hoping to calm them even if it was slightly, after Godric being upset, she didn't want anymore angry vampires. "Hmm. At least you are okay." Eric finally said, surprising the two females. "I can't have my precious little mermaid battered and bruised, now can I?" He asked with his famous smirk and Doe scoffed while Pam smirked. Eric would always be Eric. "Thanks, Eric. I feel the love."
After spending most of the evening with Eric and Pam, the mermaid finally kicked them out so that she could go visit Tara at Merlotte's since the black woman was continuing to message her most of the night. When she arrived at Merlotte's, she noticed that Andy was being led out by the two women who worked there. "Where's my car?" He asked and Tara scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "Andy, the only thing you're driving tonight, is us crazy." She said, causing the silver haired woman to chuckle and catch the trio's attention. "Doe! You came!" Tara said happily, moving over to grab her wrist before dragging her back over to Andy and Sookie. "I thought you'd never show up."
"Thanks, Tara." Doe said with a slight smirk and the two laughed before listening to Sookie talk to Andy. "Portia said she's on her way to pick you up. Give me your keys." She said and Andy shook his head, narrowing his eyes at the blonde. "I don't have them. Left them in the car. Right here, underneath this light. Some son of a bitch stole my car." He said and Sookie placed her hands on her hips. "You sure this is where you parked it?" She asked softly and he growled at her. "This whole town's gone to shit. Nobody used to be murdering each other, stealing cars. That's what happens when you don't let a good cop to his job." Tara could only roll her eyes at his wording and when she noticed something on the other side of the parking lot. "Ain't that it over there?"
The four turned to their right and all noticed that Andy's car was parked over by the woods, under a few trees and hidden by the shadows. "That ain't where I parked." Andy muttered with annoyance, growling as he stormed over to his car with the three females following right after him. "What the hell?" He grumbled as he opened up his back door, all of their eyes widening when a black foot with red painted nails falling out from the seat. "That ain't mine, I swear." He starts and when the girls get a good look at the face, all they can do is scream...
