We flew until we were outside Jackson and Eric landed on the side of the road where his corvette sat waiting for us. I noticed that the bag I had taken to Jackson was also there and was grateful to have something clean to change into.

Eric dropped bill unceremoniously on the ground, kicking him for good measure before walking over to his boot and opening it. He grabbed a sheet of plastic that was stored in the back, my guess for dead bodies and laid it over his boot. When he looked up he saw me eyeing him questionably.

"I'd hate to have that miserable wimp get blood in my car" He explained walking over to bill and carrying him to the boot, where he was dropped in.

While Eric was busy, I opened my bag and grabbed a pair of jeans, a green t-shirt and some cow girl boots before placing it in Eric's back seat. I turned away from Eric and unzipped the zipper of my dress. As soon as I touched the zipper I knew Eric had noticed what I was doing because his lust vibrated the bond like the roar of a speed way engine.

I ignored this; there was no way I was staying in this bloodied dress any longer.

I slid the fabric down my hips and to the ground. I could feel Eric's eyes burning holes into my skin, almost begging me to turn around but I didn't, I was stronger than that.

I slid on the jeans and the top before turning back to Eric, to see him standing unmoving, staring at me, his fangs out and his hands fisted at his side.

I didn't move, I was holding my breath wondering what he would do, would he walk away or would he throw me against a tree and finished what we started last night. I knew if he threw me against a tree and ravished me I wouldn't stop him, I was stuck in those gorgeous pools of blue, so haunted and beautiful.

Unfortunately Bill chose this moment to say something.

"Eric please don't take me back to the Queen" Eric turned to him, looking down into the trunk with his lip curled in disgust.

With the moment gone I quickly slid on my boots and walked over to Eric.

"You've wanted to kill me for years and here's your chance, you could say that it happened at the mansion in the struggle, no one has to know" bill begged his eyes fearful and hopeful up at Eric, begging him.

Eric said nothing just stared down at him with an expression of amusement and disgust.

Bills desperate eyes turned to me for help.

"please sookie, I am sorry for what I did and I am not asking for your forgiveness or a chance to live but please have mercy and kill me now" He looked utterly pathetic staring up at me, fear wracking his body, he trembled and I couldn't help but see how human he looked in his fear. I almost considered doing him the favour, almost.

"Don't beg bill, it's unbecoming" I said before slamming the trunk in his horrified face.

Eric chucked as we got into the car and started our drive back to Louisiana.

We were quiet for a while, not uncomfortably so just both lost in our own thoughts.

"Sookie you haven't told me yet, what happened with Lorena?" Eric asked after about half an hour of silence

"I staked her" I shrugged, she deserved it the manipulating bitch

"Congratulations, not many humans can take on a vampire her age and live" Eric said admirably but I just shrugged again

"she's not the first vampire I've staked and knowing my luck won't be the last" I mumbled the last bit, allowing myself a split second of self-pity before turning off that road of thought "she aint the oldest I've faced anyway" I added, so he wouldn't question my little pity party.

"Who was the oldest?" Eric asked and I thought for a second.

"Ranga Shamir, he was an Egyptian vampire, I was sent to kill him on a special mission as he was abducting other vampires humans and using them as his personal slaves to do with whatever he chose and he got very disturbing with his choice of entertainment" I shook my head of the memories of what I had seen "He was almost six hundred" I said and saw Eric's eye brows shoot up.

"Six hundred? Impressive most would be killed almost instantly" Eric said his voice devoid of much emotion but the bond showed he was very impressed and a little bit proud. "How did you kill him?" Eric asked

"A magician never gives away his tricks and either so I" I smirked at his furrowed brow as he stared at the road "but I will tell you it took almost three months of me pretending to be one of his slaves to do it" I cringed at the memories, he had never made me do anything too out there but what I had seen him do to others had me fearful everyday of what I may be forced into.

"So secretive" He smirked, he didn't seem to mind

"As I have said everyone has their secrets, some are just more dangerous than others" I liked talking to Eric I felt as if I could be honest and I was comfortable telling him about my life.

"If you are able to kill a vampire that is six hundred then the vampire that forced you to be his assassin must have been an aged vampire" Eric said and all the comfort drained from the conversation, my master was one topic I was never comfortable talking about. He was my chain to bare, I was forever in his servitude whether I liked it or not. I wanted to be free but it was my memories and my mental pain that held me down. He has always had his thumb on my mind and it hurt to know how much control he still holds on me.

I looked down fiddling with the edge of my shirt "He was not as old as you" I said simply but Eric was still silent "I believe he was about nine hundred. Very strong and very powerful" I kept my eyes trained on my hands, I could feel Eric's curiosity about my master and while I wanted to tell him. I couldn't, it was a topic I did not breach so I changed the conversation to something different "what will the Queen do to Bill?" I asked

Eric glanced over at me, seeing my not so subtle conversation changer before looking back at the road.

"I do not know but I will bet that it will be painful, whatever it is" His fangs fell as he smiled and I smiled at the window shaking my head 'vampires'.

"Does it make me a bad person that I don't care?" I asked looking at his profile as he smiled

"No it makes you an honest person" He smiled at me and I returned to smile. There was something about Eric's sweet pearly white smile that made me melt.

"Well at least that's one pro" I laughed

"I'm sure you have many more" His eyes raked over my body before turned back to the road and I felt myself blush deeply. I quickly turned to the window so he didn't see but that was pointless since he could smell it.

"So shall we continue our little game of questions?" He asked and I looked back at him

"Oh yeah cause that went so well last time" I said sarcasm dripping from my voice

"but we did leant quite a lot about each other" I had to agree with him there "Besides I think it ended very, very well" His voice dropped low and I mean panty melting low as he referred to our make out session against the tree. I blushed again turning away

"Okay, whose turn was it?" I asked blowing out a large breath

"Mine" he said and I just nodded, I didn't know if he was lying but I was too tired to care.

"Fine go ahead, but this time no one is allowed to get angry and attack any of the wild life" I gave him a pointed look; I was referring to the tree he ripped to shreds. He smirked at me and nodded

"Why did you kiss the tiger?" He asked, he was trying to keep calm but I could feel his jealously and anger

I sighed, god I hated being honest "Because I was angry" I said simply but he looked over at me expecting me to elaborate "I was angry with you about what happened with that girl and he was there and he was good looking and when he kissed me I just responded. He was just there" I explained, I felt the bon flare with anger but he fought to keep it down.

"I was there" he mumbled "Why not come to me?" his voice as barely above a whisper

"Because if I kissed you there was a very good chance I wouldn't have been able to leave it as just a kiss" I stared out my window, I could feel his eyes on me but refused to turn, I was biting my nail nervously "And if I kissed you it would have been complicated. When I kissed Quinn it was innocent, it wasn't going to go anywhere because I wouldn't let it and even if I had of; it would have been simple, not like us. We can't work because it is too complicated" I explained

"How is it complicated?" he asked

"It's not your turn" I said softly

"Fuck that answer the question" he snapped and I was actually happy for the anger, it gave me the courage to turn to him

"No! Play by the rules" I glared at him and he settled huffing out unneeded air and nodded "Why do you care that I kissed Quinn?" I asked and he still as he searched for the answer but before he could we heard the sound of tearing metal as something ripped the boot lid from the car. Eric hit the braked and a figure went flying into the asphalt in front of us.

Eric jumped from the car and was suddenly swarmed by men, no not men, were's in biker cloths.

"Got you now fanger" One yelled howling into the air.

Eric turned to me "Get bill, I will handle this" he snarled, I looked through the rear window to see Bill stumbling at vampire speed down the road trying to get away.

"Fuck that" I growled, I put the car in reverse and hit the gas. The wheels spun as I took of backwards down the road. When I had hit a high enough speed, I pulled the wheel fast, turning the car, putting the car into drive and sped towards bill. He was trying to run but with the mixture of the silver and his still healing body, he could not out run the car. I got closer and closer until I was almost on top of him and I hit the gears forcing the car to do a full 180, practically batting bill onto the road in front of me with the back end of the corvette, he left a large dint but since Eric's boot was already gone I figured he couldn't be too pissed at me.

I drove forward, stopping the car when it was over bill, with just his head sticking out, at the rate the silver was moving through him, he would not be strong enough to throw it off.

I got out of the car and walked around to him. He laid there snarling as he tried to lift the car but the most it did was shake.

"Don't bother trying Bill, its pointless" I smirked, suddenly his eyes flashed behind me and I heard a mind. I had just enough warning to duck the crow bar aimed at my head. I spun and stumbled back to see Debbie Pelt standing there panting angrily. I steadied my feet, levelled her with an emotionless stare and waited.

I watched as her arm flexed, signalling another attack and I ducked the crow bar as she flung it towards my face.

"No weapon now" I said keeping my voice cold and even. She was a supe but she was a were which meant I had a pretty good shot, on top of that she was angry and emotional people are always careless and impulsive.

"I don't need one bitch. You have no fucking clue what your messing with" She snarled, she looked like trash and I smirked

"No I know exactly who I'm messing with Were Fox it's you who has no clue what your fucking with" I smirked at her condescendingly and she jumped at me. I dropped to my knees and as she went over me; I slammed three quick punches into her chest, stomach and ribs. I was always quick with my jabs.

She landed on her front on the asphalt but quickly got up and snarled at me. She launched at me, gripping my hair and pulled my head to the side to punch me in the face.

I dropped my weight, ignoring the painful scream of my scalp and kicked her legs out from under her; I shoved my fist up into her elbow, it cracked and she screamed out curses. She was forced to let me go I pounced on her, pinning her arms with my knees and sitting on her chest, one hand in her hair; pulling her face back to look at me. The other hand was on her neck, squeezing enough to hurt but not cut off her air supply.

"Bitch!" she cursed; thrashing under me but to no avail. I continued adding pressure to her neck until she stopped moving and glared up at me.

"I don't want to kill you Debbie" I said calmly and she snarled, I gripped her throat tighter "but I will" I continued pressing on her neck. I had no intentions of killing her, although a big part of me wanted to. I was just going to make her pass out.

All of a sudden I was pulled from on top of Debbie and someone was pinning me against a hard warm body.

I kicked back and head butted him in the nose. He let me go and I spun ready to kick some ass to see Alcide standing there naked, his hands in the air in a sigh of surrender.

"Alcide what are you trying to do? Get yourself killed?" I asked but his attention wasn't on me and I turned to see Debbie's retreating form disappear into the darkness of the woods. I turned back to him glared and he looked at me his eyes sad

"I'm sorry sookie but I couldn't let you kill her" He said his eyes cast down

"I wasn't going to" I snarled and turned back to the car, where bill was still pinned.

"Well it looked like you were from where I was standing" he said grabbing my arm and spinning me back.

I glared up at him pulling my arm away "And where were you standing. I did not attack her, she attacked me. I was defending myself" I argued anger vibrating through me

"She looked pretty defenceless lying on the ground while you pinned her" He retorted "how the hell did you do that anyway? She's a were" I just stared at him before leaning real close so our faces were inches apart and my eyes deadly

"Do not get involved in my business; this fight was between me and her. You had no right intervening. If you do it again, you will not like the consequences" I stepped back ignoring his dumbfounded expression and leaned next to bill at the car, waiting for Eric to finish killing the were's. I tracked the battle with my mind and could feel Eric enjoying himself and winning.

I always knew were's were stupid but attacking an thousand year old vampire was just suicidal. I rolled my eyes as I stared off into the darkened road with a vampire trapped under a corvette and a naked man staring at me in wonder.

'At least my life is never dull' I laughed to myself.

Eric caught up to us a few minutes later; he growled at Alcide but otherwise didn't acknowledge him. He came straight over to me and looked me over.

"You are unhurt?" He asked glancing down at Bill at my feet

"Fine other than a minor altercation with a were bitch but I took care of it" I smirked and he grinned

"Of course you did" He kneeled next to bill shaking his head at the pathetic creature "I never thought much of you Bill, to me you were always equivalent to gum on my shoe but you have somehow found a way to sink lower. You think I should kill you but you're too pathetic for me to even waste my energy on" He stood up and looked over at Alcide "Leave" He commanded

"What of my father debt?" Alcide asked stepping forward, it always amazed me how were's and vampires could look so formidable naked.

"It is fulfilled. Leave" This time Eric's voice left no room for argument and Alcide quickly shifted and disappeared into the darkness, not surprisingly he ran off in the same direction as Debbie. I rolled my eyes and got in the driver's seat, reversing the car off bill for Eric to then throw over his shoulder. He looked at me "Is the car still safe to drive?" he asked looking almost grief stricken as he scanned his baby.

"Yes" I answered, other than a vampire dint and no boot, it was fine

"good, do you remember the way back to the Queens compound" I nodded, I never forgot directions, knowing your way can help you out of a lot of sticky situations "good, you drive the car there, I must fly Compton since there is no secure place to lock him. Will you be alright?" he looked around unsurely

"yes I will be fine, if I run into trouble you will know" I said simply, his concern was sweet but unneeded, I had been taking care of myself for years and could continue to do so. He nodded, looked at me once more before launching into the sky, within minutes he had disappeared into the darkness, leaving me to drive his damaged baby back to New Orleans.
