The parking lot lights blinking brightly around myself and the vampires. The fire inside me cried to rip them apart, into little pieces and just let their blood drip across my boots. I smiled, a sadistic smile to them, as they did the same to me.

I laughed, as I overheard their thoughts. Each one thinking of a way to drain my veins, to eat me right up and make it look like an accident or a suicide. Their voices were like kindling to my nerves, to the fire, just fueling myself to be faster and stronger. "So, should we get started?"

Malcolm's fangs unsheathed from his mouth, as I took my stance. "It's so cute to see such a human to be cocky."

"It's only because I know you're not even in my league, Malcolm darling." I smirked, as his face showed confusion. He started to think, how the hell does she know my name, but they he just took another deep breath of the air. His eyes glazed over, as he smiled.

"You sure you don't want to reconsider, girly." Diane grinned, leaning against the light post and Liam just standing next to her. Her golden dress shining brighter against the light, it certainly made her look a bit nicer, from the slutty vampire she seemed. "You could seriously get harmed." She laughed.

"It's the other way, and my name aint girly. It's Ava, you'll remember that from now on." I looked to Malcolm. "Ready?"

He flashed behind me, as I elbowed his stomach. Then turning around, as he groaned, to kick him to the ground. I smashed some gravel into his disgusting face, as Diane and Liam growled at me. I hissed back, as my fangs grew and my nails started to extend. Malcolm looked up at me, as he tried to push my boot off his stomach. I crunched it deeper into his ribs, feeling each one cracking and breaking underneath. It made my blood boil in such a way that I enjoyed, but I knew this was the fire, not me.

I just wanted to make sure that Sookie was safe, and everyone else in the bar. They were now my neighbors and friends, I had to do something, other than just hide and keep my powers at bay. I wanted to defend, not hide, and these bastards just made it easy to fight.

"Get the fuck off me you stupid bitch."

"Can't handle a little girl?"

Malcolm growled again, as I hissed, scratching his face with my nails. "Fucking whore!" He pushed me up just a foot above his chest,and crawled out from beneath my boot. Flashing a few feet away, feeling my eyes burn, as I flashed to his side, smashing him into a tree almost a half a mile away.

"What was that, you vamper bastard?!"

"I called you a whore." He flashed his teeth to me, just testing my patience.

"Shouldn't have done that, FUCKER!" I run into him, kick him straight in his groin, as one of his sleeves get caught in one of the branches. Slipping my fingers through his greasy hair, taking a good hold of his scalp, hearing him hiss and growl. I glare into his eyes, smiling. "You want to give in yet?"

"FUCK YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Diane growled, as Liam held her back.

I turned to her. "You wouldn't be worth my time or my body." I smirked, seeing Liam's smile and Diane growling more. I turned back to Malcolm, staring into his eyes, pulling my fire into them.

"What are you doing?" He whispered to himself, as he noticed the stare.

"Huh? What's that? You were wrong to mess with me?" I glared into his eyes, feeling his mind go empty, which wasn't that hard considering how little was already there. His eyes glaze changed to pure stupidity, to glamor him. "You will never mess withwhat is mine, you will never get within a 10 mile radius of Sookie Stackhouse or any of the others you have seen in the bar. Or you will feel excruciating pain you never wish you had felt. You are a pathetic vampire, you and your gang are worthless. You will never return to Area 5 as long as you exist on the planet. Understood?"

"Yes." His eyes cleared up as I let go of his hair, whipping it on his shirt, feeling Diane glaring at me. Malcolm lifted himself from against the tree, as he walked over to the others. "Time to leave this town."

"But Malcolm..."

"Diane, don't argue with me." He glared into her eyes, as she frowned turning her stare to me, my smile turned to small grin, as my nails got back to normal and my fangs disappeared. "Lets go." She groaned, as all of them ran into the night.

I took a deep breath, feeling the fire cool down in my chest. I looked at the bar, sensing everything was calming down, but I could sense anger coming off Sookie. I smelled Bill, he was with the vampires heading out of town. I walked back to the bar, seeing the look on Sook's face, it was worry and strife. I got over to her side, as I overheard.

"Bill, this is the third time I've called. A lynch mob is going after those vampires. You gotta get outta there. Call me back, now!" She closes her cell, then looks at me.

"What's wrong?"

"Bill went with those vampires, and I don't know what to do."

I sighed, as she looked at me, expecting I would know what to do. I slumped my shoulders. "Do you want me to run after him?"

"Could you?" I nodded, as she hugged me tight. "Just be careful."

I gave her a look. "Seriously? Did you not just see me kick ass?"

"Kick ass?"

I groaned. "Never mind, I'll be right back. How about you stay at Bill's, ok?"

Sookie nodded, and started to leave. I tied my hair back, as I ran as fast as I could, following his scent. It kept disappearing and reappearing, I didn't know if he was trying to hide his scent from me or it was my nose fucking up. I blinked, as my fire grew in my chest, I could smell all of them at a house, about 6 miles away. I ran to the door, seeing that the sun was just about to rise. I took a deep breath, as I found that his scent was no where near here, it had dissipated a long time ago. So, all was left, was the three worthless fangers.

"What are you doin'?"

My ears twitched, as I smelled those buggers from the bar. The ones that Sookie was trying to warn Bill about, three redneck bastards with no common sense. I slowly walked behind them, as I saw that they were trying to put together something, wasn't quite sure what.

"Turnin' this shit into napalm. I ain'ttakin' no chances." Royce, who had curly blond hair, was taking a bottle of alcohol and a piece of fabric. The fire burned stronger, it knew what was gonna happen, and it was happy to be witnessing it. Though, I wanted to stop it, I knew it would be a better place without those three. It would save a whole dozen people from being drained to death, and save a lot of people some trouble. Plus, since it was Eric's area it would make him happier that they would be dead.

Chuck smiles, who was the man with brown hair, as the other must have been Wayne, who had a hat on. They all looked like idiots, but if they got the job done without a flaw, how was I not supposed to be happy.

I watched as they ran around the house, starting to throw their little homemade bombs. It was quite adorable, to see these boys fighting so strongly for such a judgmental reason. It was almost heartwarming, if it wasn't for their stupidity and their views of the situation. Seems no one was raising them properly, that's for sure. I leaned against the tree, feeling my fire cry, it wanted to join. I hissed, as it cooled down. I looked at Chuck, hesitating to throw, but as he does throw, the rag fuse of the bomb ignites his right arm.

"Fuck!"

All three of them start running, but Wayne tackles Chuck trying to put the fire out, no use. I sigh, waving my hand, it stopped instantly. They got back up running down the road, disappearing into the distance.

I smiled, as the fire cooled my chest, finally feel pleased. I stare at flames taking over the little house, causing such a beautiful thick black smoke rise up into the dark blue sky. My ears twitched, my sadistic smile growing, with each scream of pain and torment from those vampires burning up into gooey blood soup. "Maybe I should relax." I sat down, leaning my head down, resting my eyes just for a moment.

"AVA?"

"Huh?" I sat up, as I look around, seeing cop cars and the morgue guy, I didn't really care. All that I cared was the shrill in my ears. I opened my eyes, staring into those browns, they were not happy. "Hi."

"WHY ARE YOU AT A CRIME SCENE? SLEEPING NO LESS!?"

"Oi, chill will yah?" I stood up against the tree, as one of the cops came near. I blinked my eyes toward him, so he'd forget that I was even here. "Stop yelling, I have enough in my head from the fire."

"Sorry." Sookie pulled me away, as her face was filled with stress and worry. "Was Bill-"

"No, he wasn't."

She sighed in relief.

"But I lost his scent." Her stare burned into my eyes, I could feel her trying to break through, I had put up between our link. No luck on her part, no one could take what's mine if I don't want them to. "He had been in the house for a little, but by the smells, he had left 10 mins or so after I got there. That's when the sun started to rise, and those rednecks started to burn the place to bits." I smiled again.

Sookie stare changed to worry. "Why are you smiling?"

"The vampires are dead, it saves people. What's so bad with that?"

"Ava!" Her tone, was what set me off. It was as if she was trying to play the mother figure. She had no idea, how wrong she was to try.

I glared at her, as the fire burst in my chest. "I'm not a child, I'm barely even human. You expect me to be like you, but I'm not."

Sookie gasped, as she opened her mouth, about to say something.

"Don't waste your time, Sook. I'm off, I'll be back whenever I feel like it." I ran into the trees, feeling her pain in my chest, the fire burned it away. It wanted control right now, didn't care about how I truly felt. I ran towards Eric's house, trying to remember the dream, as the fire led me to his door. I opened it, as I noticed the room.

It was just like my dream, paintings everywhere, artifacts of all the years he had been through out his life. It was more intimate in this room, seemed he was more in touch with his feelings when decorating this room. I stared at the fire place, he had it going so bright, it shined the room. It was almost like the sun was in the room, even if there was no windows or openings.

I watched the light dance across the room, but one sliver of light pointed me somewhere. I noticed a door a bit ajar, as I walked towards it.

I slowly opened it, seeing his coffin, it was decadent. It had purple hues to it, but if you had looked at it in my light, it was blood red, almost bathed in blood and glistening. It was gorgeous, figures this would be his. I kneeled down, feeling the fire sensing him asleep, I lifted the top open.

His face so empty, his skin so pale white, his hands against his chest, his scent filling my nostrils. My blood started to burn, as I felt the fire want to ravage him, take him and devour his very being. I sat back against the wall, trying to calm down.

Fire, I really don't like you doing this shit. First, you yell at Sookie, who has done nothing but love and care for us, even if she's the younger one and she's kinda pushy. Its just her way of showing we matter to her. Second, coming to Eric's house, trespassing into his private space, bad fire, bad! We could get our asses kicked, or even worse bitten.

A sigh, filled my ears, as I turned to his face. He seemed to actually want to breath in his sleep, maybe he was dreaming of something. I stared for awhile, leaning against the side of his coffin. He's pretty cute, almost innocent like this.

Eric's eyelid flew open, as he grabbed me with a death grip, pulling me into the coffin, on his lap. The fire recoiled inside, as I felt my usual 98.6, feeling his cold fingers. Our faces only inch away from each other, but his eyes seem so lifeless, more than usual. He growled, as he leaned his head into my neck, sniffing my skin.

He must be sleep vamping. I giggled, as it tickled, my neck was my weakest spot. If someone dared touch it, I was putty, luckily no one had ever gotten to try. His nose nuzzled against my collar bone, as I bit my lip. This was just torture to me, Eric had been my first kiss, my first everything so far. Now he was nuzzling into the spot in which I could never say no, I was weak and at his disposal. I felt his chilling breath against my neck, the fire tried to warm my skin and tried to give me some courage, as he opened his mouth. I took a deep breath, trying to fight against his grip.

"Let me go, please." I pushed harder, without the fire, I wasn't as strong, I still did have my wrestling strength, but that's noting against a sleep vampire. I kept pushing, as I heard his fangs come out, I gasped. I remembered what Sonja would do, as I took my hand, putting it on his. "Please, little one, release me."

He slowly let go, as I fixed my knees back to the side of the coffin, Eric laid down. His eyes so sweet and angelic, I just couldn't believe that this man could have done such evil in his life. Those blue eyes just seemed to be entrancing, I leaned close to his face, as I kissed his forehead. He closed his eyes, as I closed the lid, taking a big breath and letting it out. "Thank you god."

I stood up, as I left the little room, closing the door. I walked over to the couch near the fire, as I grabbed a blanket that was lay against the back of it. I laid down, feeling my strength dwindle. For some reason, with me using so much of my powers, I had gotten so tired. "Just a little sleep will do me some good." I wrapped myself in the blanket, forgetting completely that I was still in his room, falling asleep.
