"Look if you argue anymore I'm either gonna fall asleep or start screaming so this is what we're gonna do" Sookie snapped and they all looked at her.
"I will infiltrate the Fellowship of the Sun" she carried on and Eric and Bill looked at her as Keely simply raised an eyebrow.
"Absolutely not" Bill said.
"Let her speck" Eric said and they all ignored Stan's frustrated growl.
"Since Bill glamoured the kidnapper, no one there knows who I am, I just pretend I wonna join their church and check out all their thoughts" Sookie explained.
"No" Bill said.
"During the day none of us can help you" Bill added.
"It'll only take a little while, really Bill, its simple" Sookie muttered.
"Waste of time" Stan said as he walked across the room to pick up a cowboy hat.
"Or we could drink them all, I want no part of this" he added before he left. Eric and Keely looked at each other.
"There's no easier way to find out if they're involved" Isabel said.
"If it leads us to Godric, we'll do it" Eric said and looked at Bill then Sookie.
"The decision is made" he said and Sookie nodded as Bill glared at Eric.
"A few words" Bill said and Eric nodded and they walked away.
"Keely" Eric called and she walked after them and they stood by the fireplace.
"You knew it would come to this" Bill hissed.
"She was just clawed and poisoned by a creature we don't know and we can't find and now, in Dallas, you're playing with her life" Bill growled.
"It's no game to me" Eric said and Keely and Bill looked at him.
"All this for a colleague? for the Sheriff of area 9? Why?" Bill asked and Keely looked closely at her own maker, feeling his hurt and worry then she remembered a conversation she'd had with Pam.
"A vampire will always love their maker, no matter what they do or how they treat you, a vampire and their maker is the strongest bond in the world. You might not see one another for hundreds of years, maybe even thousands, but the pain, the love, the trust all of it is still there and still real. You might love Eric and in time you might still love him but even if after some serious fight, you may leave and not see each other for a 1000 years but, you will still love him, with at least some part of your being" she explained.
"Even Eric? It won't just be one sided will it? Like I'll love him but he'll hate me" she said and Pam smiled.
"No, it is both sided, perhaps even stronger for the maker, in this case Eric. He will love you until the end of his life or yours, whichever is first and that love will never die and never fade" Pam said and she nodded and went back to work.
Keely gasped and saw Bill look at her as did Eric and she looked at her maker, softly.
"He's your maker isn't he? That's why it means so much" she said softly and he looked at her.
"Yes" he said and she sighed as Bill looked at them, stunned.
Eric frowned as he watched Keely looking out of the window.
"What's wrong Vackra?" he asked and she looked at him with a soft but sad smile.
"I miss my family. My brothers mostly but my mum every now and then, she was just as much a victim as I was but she never wanted to leave. She had been that messed up by him that all the time she thought she was doing good things. He made her believe that she deserved everything that he did to her...and so did I. My older brother Patrick, he wanted so much to help us, me really but da...father always caught him. He was beaten and hurt so many times because he tried to help me. I told him more times than I can count to just leave it. I would get used to it. He used to get so mad when I said that. He'd take me with him wherever he went, just because he didn't want to leave me alone with that man. I remember he took me on a date once. His date got so mad that she made him choose between me and her. He picked me of course and told her that if she couldn't handle me then he didn't want her. She never said a word to him again but she forever hated me" she mused softly as he stood behind her.
"I know that I'm safe now and he can't hurt me but I feel so bad" she said and he frowned at her.
"Why?" he asked and she sighed.
"I have two younger brothers, Kaleb and Josh. They are my father's pride and joy but he'll hurt them too if he thinks they deserve it. I have spent the past month, thinking of how this affected my life and my friends and how I would be with it, that I never thought about how it would change their lives. How it would destroy them to not have me around but I know they're happy I got away but, now they're alone. I practically raised Kaleb since mummy was always stoned or drunk or so badly hurt she couldn't move. When I stood in that car lot with all of you around me and Jessica, I thought of nothing else but him coming to rescue us. I thought that whatever he would do to me, would be better than this but...now I'm here and I'm ok and I know I'm safe, I just feel so guilty that I got away and they didn't" she said and he gasped when he saw the blood tears on her face. He pulled her forwards and she clung to him as she sobbed and he hugged her tightly.
"Shh Vackra it's ok" he said and she looked up at him.
"Are you ever going to tell me what that means?" she asked and he smiled.
"No, you're leaning Swedish, find out yourself" he said and she rolled her eyes.
"Mean" she pouted and he smiled.
"Only for you" he said and she laughed softly.
"I think I'm going to go for a walk, just around the grounds, I swear I won't bite anyone" she said and he nodded.
"I might not be here when you return, I have a meeting" he said and she nodded and he kissed her forehead and she grabbed her shoes and left the room and ran down the stairs and to the pool and smiled.
"Midnight swim?" she heard a male's voice ask and turned and saw a man looking at her.
"So?" she asked.
"Should you be all tucked up in your bed sweetheart? All the bad creatures come out at night" he said and she looked at him.
"Your point is?" she asked and he smirked.
"My point is you look like lunch" he replied and she glared and ducked as he jumped at her. She turned and he fell into the pool. He came to the surface and glared at her.
"Well this lunch is so fresh it's walking away" she hissed and he glared.
"Vampire" he said and she smirked.
"What gave me away? The speed or the skin?" she asked and then went back inside the hotel.
"Ah Keely there you are" she heard Eric say and saw him talking to a pretty brunette.
"Keely this is Lorena, Lorena this is my new progeny, Keely" Eric said and the two smiled to each other.
"It's nice to meet you" Lorena said and Keely smiled.
"Likewise, Eric would you please get Jessica for me? Bill is with...her and I refuse to go near her when I am getting hungry, since you forbid me from having the bitch as breakfast...or any other meal" she said and he looked at her.
"Why don't you two ladies get to know each other? You might have more in common than you think" he said and kissed Keely's forehead and walked away.
"So how old are you?" Lorena asked.
"A month, it's so embarrassing. Everyone here is at least a hundred and I feel like such a loser" she said and Lorena smiled.
"I loved being a baby vampire, all the fun, none of the work" she replied and Keely smiled.
"So do you know Bill?" she asked and Keely nodded.
"He isn't so bad, a little dull and stiff but I'd rather him than his stupid, bitchy, blonde tramp" she said.
"The waitress?" she asked and Keely nodded.
"Sookie Stackhouse. I mean what kind of name is that for a start and why in the hell does Bill want some blonde, red-neck waitress with rocks for brains?" she asked and Lorena grinned.
"Eric was right" she said and Keely frowned slightly.
"About what? I've come to realise that Eric can be very mean sometimes so for all I know he could have told you I was stupid" she said and Lorena laughed.
"He said that you were a perfect daughter. Beautiful, smart, funny and the perfect candidate for a vampire" he said and Keely sighed.
"I don't know about that, there are times when I think I was better off as a human" she said.
"I know how you feel but at least now, you don't have to worry about getting old" she replied and Keely laughed.
"I knew there was a reason I didn't mind being a vampire" she said and Lorena smiled.
"He also said I would like you" she said and Keely looked at the older brunette.
"Do you?" she asked and Lorena smiled and sat beside the brunette as they entered the bar.
"Very much" she said and Keely smiled.
"If you hate Sookie as much as I do then I think this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship" she said and Lorena smiled and then they began talking about Lorena's 500 years of life as they waited for Eric to come down with Jessica.
