The sun was still setting as Faith stood on Bills porch, dark red and orange with hints of purple filled the sky. The door to Bills was already open, the screen door was the only think keeping faith from going inside. She had to pause for a moment, if Sookie was there, she'd know in an instant what happened last night. Marco had to be the only thing on her mind tonight and once everything was sorted out then she would have her moment to explain to Sookie. She sucked in the stale air as she pulled open the screen door.

"Hello?" She stepped in. Bill was at the door in an instant.

"Hi Faith, welcome" he smiled

Faith nodded "Thanks"

"We're all in the living room, just through here" He guided her to the living room. Sookie sat on the couch with an empty spot which she assumed was Bills seat before he got up to answer the door. Pam and Chow sat on the opposite couch and there stood her vampire with his arm resting on the mantel. He wore a small smirk as his eyes met hers.

Marco Marco Marco Marco Marco

She looked over at Sookie, Sookie rolled her eyes in frustration. Faith smiled slightly. Bill led her to take his seat next to Sookie.

"I'm glad your tryin to block whatever it is out, I'm not sure I wanna know what happened last night" Sookie said under her breath

Faiths smile grew as she glanced over to Sookie who was smiling at Bill uncomfortable. Faiths gaze moved over to Eric who still was watching her.

"Pam, care to enlighten us on what you have found out about our friend's friend's" Eric said

Pam sighed still obviously bitter of her chore last night of staking out the nest" Faiths admirer's name is Daniel, he went back to his nest in Shreveport and came up with a plan which they think is just brilliant, but I guess we aren't all born geniuses. They are planning to go to the bar and kill everyone until they find our little honey here" She nodded at faith

Faith lost what little confidence she had entering the house.

"What they're gonna go after the bar? But Sam and Arlene, Terry and Lafayette" Sookie worried. Faith mirrored her distress

"Girls no need to worry" Bill said

"Bills right, we'll be there before they will, its an hour drive from there" Eric broke his silence

"If they're in a car" Chow countered

"Well what are we waiting for, lets get over there" Faith said

Bill looked over at Eric as he gave Bill a nod

"Wait what if there are more?" Sookie asked

Chow let out a deep throaty chuckle, it made Faith cringe. This was her first encounter of Eric's newest employee but he creeped her out to no end. "We're not worried"

Pam and Chow stood and walked out of the living room heading for the door while Sookie got up to see Bill. Faith looked up at Eric uneasy as he walked over to the couch. Bill and Sookie looked at them as Sookie gently tugged Bill out of the room.

Eric leaned into Faiths ear "Sleep well lover"

Faith couldn't help but giggle quietly as Eric pulled back to look at her as he sat on the coffee table in front of her. He rested his cool hand on her leg as she shrugged "Couldn't stop worrying about tonight"

Eric raised an eyebrow "Like I've been telling you, there is nothing to worry about"

Faith tilted her head "I know bout what if someone gets hurt, like Sam or Terry, Arlene or Lafayette? I couldn't forgive myself if that happened"

Eric studied her anxiety. He didn't want Faith to come into any harm, but when it came to anyone else he had no care for. He wondered why Faith had such strong feelings for these people she barely knew.

"Because these people have shown me nothing but kindness and generosity since I came here" faith said looking down

She hadn't even noticed Eric never spoke. She looked up at Eric who clearly was in shock. Faiths eyes widened "How....did I just...."

Eric didn't answer, he just stared at her perplexed. Faith looked down embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." her words were cut short when Eric cupped his hand around her cheek and kissed her.

His kiss was tender and gentle. Eric cool lips tasted so sweet, Faith could kiss him for eternity. She looked at him as he pulled away slowly. "Lets get going...lover" He smiled

She took a deep breath and nodded taking his hand.

Faith Stood looking at the neon sign that read "Merlottes" there she stood in the same place she did her first night here. Guilt plagued her knowing the place would end up being trashed if not completely destroyed. She was preparing for the worst, Marco's nest seemed a little more than rowdy when it came to causing trouble. As Eric walked passed her she gave him a wiry smile and followed them inside. Sam stood at the bar with his hands on his hips, sporting an annoyed expression. His plaid short sleeve button up shirt was neatly tucked inot this tight jeans. Faith knew whatever was going to happen tonight Sam would not walk away from his bar, that he was going to defend it with all his might, as well as try to protect her. Faith appreciated that about Sam.

"Sookie, Faith what the hell is going on" he asked

That didn't take long Faith, are you sleeping with the guy too?

Faith winced at Sam's thought "Sam I'm sorry, the guy that was here last night he's comin' back...with friends, Bill and Eric brought Chow and Pam along to help fend them off" She explained

"Don't worry Sam, we're not gonna let anyone get hurt" Sookie added

Sam looked around the bar and sighed. It wasn't full but pretty steady. He looked back at Sookie and Faith while walking behind the bar. He pulled up his riffle and cocked it "Aight bars closed everyone....Terry Lafayette, make sure you take Arlene home"

Sookie gave Faith a relived look as they both smiled at Sam. He looked back with a somber expression.

As everyone filed out commenting on Sam's odd behaviour he followed them out "We'll be open for lunch tomorrow" He locked the door "Alright what do we do next" He glared at Bill and Eric

"We wait" Eric said simply

Bill shut the lights off to the bar and closed the blinds. Sam followed suit and turned the lights to the sign off. Sookie and Faith sat in a booth away from the window. Faith Leaned against the wall and held her knees to her chest worried. Pam and chow and Eric stood outside to try and hear anything, if they were coming they would know. Sam handed Bill a bottle of true blood and walked over to the booth where the girls were seated.

"You girls ok?" He asked

Sookie nodded looking at Faith "We will be once this is over with"

Faith didn't look at Sam "This is all my fault" She said quietly

Sam sat in the booth with the girls "Hey, don't say that Faith, you did what you had to do theres no shame in that, you didn't do anything wrong here, this isn't the first time someones gone tryin to bust my bar up" He said with a slight smile

Sookie smiled as well "Member Mary-ann got her minions over here and dragged you through the kitchen"

Sam nodded "We're gonna get through this, looks like Eric and Bill have a pretty good handle on everything"

Faith looked at Sam relieved that he didn't see this as her fault. Sam looked away to Bill staring out the window. "Eric seems different..." he said

Sookie tilted her head "Yeah he's been showin us theres more to him than just bein an ass"

Faith glared at Sookie "He's kind"

Sam scoffed the idea but then looked at Faith "Do you... are you two..." He didn't know how to ask

"Together? they're certainly almost at that point despite what Bill and I have been warning her" Sookie budded in again

Faith sighed embarrassed "Sookie..."

Sookie realized she was intruding "Sorry.." Sam looked at Sookie as she shrugged then back at Faith

Faith knew Sam didn't like what the was hearing, no one seemed to like the idea, but it was because they didn't know truly what Eric really was capable of. She felt bad that Eric was finding out this way, she knew Sam hated Eric.

"He's proved to surprise us in a good way" Faith responded "Him being here is a testament to that"

Your sleeping with him....dam-nit what is it about these vampire

Sam sighed. Faith looked at Sookie than back at Sam "Sam do me a favour and stop thinking..." She said rubbing her temples

"Sorry?" He was confused

"Faith has the same gift as me" Sookie smiled

Sam was shocked as he looked back at the two of them "So you've heard...everything?"

Faith nodded not looking at Sam "I try to block most it out"

Sam looked at Sookie as she smiled "not only can she ready humans minds but she can ready vampires minds too...well except Eric that she cant"

Faith looked up "Actually thats not true I read his mind at Bills before we left, I don't know how it happened really" She said

Sam ran his hand through his hair with a bewildered look "I will never understand you two I swear to God" He said getting up.

Sookie giggled and Faith just watched him disappear into the back of the bar.

Sookie looked over to Bill who was sitting in the booth against the window, She walked over to sit with him "Anything?"

"No there was some rustling in the trees but Chow didn't see anything" Bill replied

Eric came inside looking over at Bill and Sookie, He shook his head as he walked to Faiths Booth and sat down. Faith sighed leaning forward to lean against him.

"They haven't shown yet huh"

Eric shook his head "You don't need to worry about that"

Faith shrugged "Well what else am I supposed to be doing"

Eric raised an eyebrow and ran his hand up her thigh. Faith tried to not smile but she felt a sudden rush of giddiness. His stone like expression aroused her. She quickly grabbed his hand and held it still giving him a stern look "I'm serious. What are we doing? waiting for them to show, what if they don't?"

Just as she asked the question Pam was thrown through the window "Our friends are here"

Eric flew out of the booth and went outside with Bill following "Sam get the girls" Bill yelled

Sam came running out into the front "Common get in my office" Sookie and Faith got to their feet and ran to Sam. The fight had finally reached them.
