I narrowed my eyes as I saw Eric pickin on Jason who I thought was a sweet boy. I strolled up to them, standing behind Eric.

He was smirking down at him in a smug way that made me want to hit him silly. I put a finger to my mouth as to warn Jason not to tell Eric that I was standing behind him. I quickly grabbed his ear and brought him down to my level. I gave him my best sarcastic smile as I made eye contact with his angry blue orbs.

"Why are you always threatening people? I mean this is unhealthy. Is this a dominance kink of yours or just an asshole thing?" Eric growled in response. "Eric Northman, don't make me put you in time-out."

Jason smiled gratefully at me and replied, "Thanks. But I don't need you fighting for me."

"Jason," I started with a calm voice. "Eric is a thousand year old vampire...he can literally poke you in the throat and in seconds, you would be dead. I'm a witch who can easily kill you, but I'm not going to because I like you. A lot actually."

Jason was shocked for a moment. "Really? Why?"

"That stunt you pulled with those bible freaks was fucking hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. I like a rebel."

"Let go," Eric growled in my ear.

I shook my head. "No...not until you promise to behave, corpse."

Jason seemed excited for a moment. "So what else can you do?"

I opened my mouth to reply, but Eric quickly said, "Oh, just blow up an entire city every so often. So the usual actually."

My eyes caught his in a stare down as Jason awkwardly rocked back and forth on his feet. "Eric is just fucking with you Jason. He won't hurt you. He can't. Quite sad really. I think he has blue fangs. It's kind of like blue balls for the corpses, but more painful."

Jason nodded. "Well, I better go and leave ya two to figure whatever it is...you two are fightin' over. I mean you two are fightin' each other, right?"

"Run along, jock," Eric seethed and Jason practically ran the other way, careful not to touch us. I let go of Eric's ear and patted his chest.

"That was fun."

"Was that the plan?"

"Oh, so you're not angry?"

Eric shrugged. "What are you up to, witch?"

I smiled mischievously up at him. "I hate my mother and coincidentally, so do you. How about we call it a truce for now and work together to get my mother the hell out of our lives? Deal?"

Eric suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and planted a passionate kiss on my frozen lips. I looked worriedly at him as he smirked and petted my curls. "Deal. We just sealed it with a kiss."

"Uh, next time, a handshake should be good enough. Are you trying to make me like you in the hopes that I'll be running into your perverted dead arms?" I questioned curiously. "Ah, so you're going with the whole kissing me into submission thing again…"

"Kissing you into submission," he chuckled. "I like the sound of that. A vampire kissing a witch...how poetic."

"That's not though," I countered. "It's poetic when a witch falls in love with a vampire. Why, you ask? Because witches are supposed to keep the balance in nature, be neutral and shit. Vampires are the complete opposite of that, their very existence opposes the witches' beliefs. So a witch being with a vampire is so rare and yet poetic."

Eric smiled. "Mmmm, someone's been reading awfully a lot lately. What have you learned?"

"Well, I've gotten better at using my powers."

"Yes," he responded. "I've noticed."

Yeah, so you better watch your cute butt, corpse or I'll hex you into getting fat whenever you drink blood. Oh my god, can you imagine Eric being fat?! THAT WOULD BE SO HILARIOUS! Ha ha ha!

"Weirdo," I murmured. "You're such a little freak, you know that, corpse? I mean it's a little creepy the way you're always watching me."

"You mean in a way where you become dinner."

"Or breakfast, or lunch, or even brunch, buddy," I added in with a frown. "Stop it."

"Or what?"

"I dunno," I snapped at him. "Or I'll tell on you to Godric!"

Eric shook his head. "You wouldn't."

"Oh, but I would," I said as I got up in his face which was really hard since this guy was ten feet high and I was like two feet. I tried to make myself look as threatening and cold blooded as possible which was really hard actually. I decided to put on a face I like to call...THE PAM!

Pam's face is truly the greatest thing I've ever come across. She's got the while RBF package. Some girls got it and others don't. What's an RBF, you ask? It's what I like to call a Resting Bitch Face. Pam has got it. She's got it real bad honestly. Time to put on my RBF!

I turned around and started to sing loudly, "Oh, Godric-"

"Okay," Eric yelled.

"So how did Godric meet my slutty mother," I asked curiously. Eric and I crossed our arms over our chests simultaneously which caused me to flare up at him. He was copying me….bastard.

"I don't know. One day she was just there by his side, like the devil on his shoulder," he answered with a shrug. "He doesn't want to talk about it."

"I'll ask around." I told him. "Oh by the way, no one can know of our for a limited time only alliance. We gotta pretend that we hate each other."

Eric raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So you don't hate me anymore?"

I pursed my lips and my hands curled into fists. "Oh, believe me, corpse we will always hate each other."

Just as Eric passed by me, he whispered seriously, "I could never hate you, Belle."

I watched him walk away, my eyes wide and my heart beating faster than normal. This feeling completely perplexed me. Honestly, I didn't know what to do with the little piece of confession that Eric had just give me.

I walked over to Sookie and Bill, saying, "I have boy problems, you guys."

Sookie clapped her hands in excitement. "Oh, goodness, I have been waiting for this day."

I scowled at her. "We've only known each other for a week...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!"

Sookie laughed and patted my shoulder while I glared at her. Bill nodded like the little docile stupid corpse that he was. "We just like you."

Sookie nodded her head eagerly. "Yup. Also because you don't like Eric."

"I heard my name," Eric said next to me.

"GAH!" I screamed in terror as I jumped in the air. On INSTINCT (don't listen to Eric who will claim that I did this on purpose), I grabbed a pillow and flung it at his head.

(but you did do it on purpose, witch)

(no, I didn't, corpse!)

(Yes, you did!)

(HEY, GET OUT OF HERE, CORPSE, THIS IS MY STORY THAT I'M TELLING THEM SO MAKE LIKE A TREE AND LEAVE!)

Eric pinched the bridge on his nose and asked, "Why a pillow?"

So much anger flared inside of me that I could've sworn that steam started to come out of my mouth. "BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT I COULD GRAB AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU CREEPY CORPSE!"

"I heard my name," he replied. "Were you speaking well of me-"

I scoffed and waved him off. "Pssh! As if!"

"Yeah, you let me walk right on in there, knowing full well that it was a trap all for your precious Godric," Sookie added in.

"The bond between a vampire and his maker is stronger than you can imagine," Eric told her.

I rolled my eyes. "You're so lucky that she's alive or I swear to every god out there that I would find your pale butt and crush you then tear you apart, corpse!"

"My, that attitude of yours is quite alarming," Eric told me. Eric then grinned. "Our bond would be strong. Perhaps one day you'll find out."

A look of horror mixed with fury came onto my face and I backed away from him. "How dare you!"

"Oh, no," Bill murmured as Sookie had a look of worry on her face. "Bill, hold her back before she-"

I punched Eric in the face.

"Does something she'll regret," Sookie finished, shaking her head.

Then I tackled him to the ground, pulling his hair as I yelled all sorts of things at him. We rolled around and I remembered seeing Godric poke his head out and watch us as we rolled past him.

"Godric, ain't you gonna stop them," Jason asked.

Godric then started to laugh which seemed to an abnormal thing for him to do as everyone became silent and even Eric and I stopped fighting to look at him. He had one of those funny laughs that you couldn't help, but laugh with him as well.

"Your maker's weird," I muttered to him.

Eric nodded. "Agreed."

Godric stared at us as we stood up, Eric looked ashamed for a moment, but I smiled proudly since I really didn't care what these corpses thought of me. I hissed at a couple of them when they gave me weird looks.

"Stop it," Sookie said. "They're gonna think you're rabid or something."

"Will it keep them away from me?"

"Probably."

I pumped my fist as I proclaimed, "GOOD! THEN THAT IS WHAT I'LL DO!"

Sookie and Bill looked worried for a moment as I looked at my hands before stating, "I should get claws and a broomstick. Oh, a pointy hat too. Maybe if I think it, it might come true."

I squeezed my eyes shut and thought about my purple pointy hat. Be in my hands, you fabulous thing!

"Oh my stars," I heard Sookie say and as I opened my eyes, a hundred watt smile came onto my face. I stuffed the purple pointy hat onto my head.

"Yay! I did it! Watch out, corpses, I'm an official witch now."

I followed Sookie and Bill since Eric wanted to talk to Godric alone. The stupid idiot pushed me away from them and towards Sookie and Bill. I shrugged and waited with Sookie as Bill went to go get us drinks.

"Oh, it's you," the pale woman from before sneered as she walked toward us. Rude.

"Yeah, what are you doing here, corpse," I snapped at her. "I thought that after our last run-in, you'd stay away from Bill."

"My name is Lorena, you stupid little witchy bitch, not corpse. If you ever call me that again, I will-"

"Blah," I yelled in her face.

"What-"

"Blah!"

"Stop that right-"

"BLAH!"

"I will kill-"

"Blah, blah, blah. Every time something comes out of your mouth then I will say 'blah'," I told her.

"I'm sorry. Who are you?" Sookie asked curiously. "And how do you know Bill?"

"Well, he's a mutual friend we have," Lorena answered. "Funny he never mentioned me. I practically made him what he is today."

Thankfully, Bill came to us and I downed all of their drinks. "Ew. Scotch."

"Hello, darling," she purred which caused me to make gagging noises. She's so disgusting. "I was just getting to know your plaything. You always did like to prey on the innocent."

"Sookie, don't mind this desperate trollop over here. She's just bitchy because Bill doesn't like her anymore."

"Hey, you called him Bill," Sookie noticed. "And not corpse this time. Anyways is this your maker?"

"She released me years ago. She no longer has any hold over me."

"I wouldn't say that. We had two marvelous nights in your room."

"It was nothing," I told her quickly. "I saved him by the way because she was practically trying to rape him."

"How dare you!"

"You need to leave," Bill quickly told her. Good! He was on my side then! I knew that he would see the reason to this!

"I hope he doesn't pull the same shenanigans with you. There's no excuse for domestic violence."

"What she has failed to mention is that she was holding me prisoner," Bill reminded us.

"And she raped him," I added in.

"Pshaw," she tried to say politely. "We were just catching up is all. You must have been worried sick, wondering where he was. I admit it. It got a bit heated. But you know how old lovers can get sometimes."

Oh no she didn't. I mentally clapped for Sookie as she grabbed Lorena's wrist when she tried to put her hands on Bill. Punch her!

"Do not touch him," Sookie sneered.

Lorena tried to keep her cool as she slowly said, "My, we're feisty too. You're no more than a blood bag.

You cannot win this."

"Oh, but she can," I said as I stood next to her. "She's got a powerful witch by her side. Can't you tell by the hat?"

Sookie nodded. "Yeah, but that doesn't matter since I've already won. Bill chose me. And yet you still won't give up. Don't you have any shame?"

"Stop," Bill quickly spat at Sookie, scowl lines turned worried ones.

"No, punch her," I suggested with excitement.

When Lorena opened her mouth, I shoved my hand on her chest as she also tried to get into Sookie's face in a threatening way. Apparently, I had zapped her away as she was shoved into the couch.

"That was like writing, Lori, I can blow you up with just a snap of my fingers," I warned her. "Seriously, you don't want to pick a fight with me. Sookie too since she's my best friend!"

Lorena's fangs immediately came out as she pushed Sookie and Bill aside as she slammed my body onto the table with her hands around my throat. She started to scream in pain as my own hands burned her skin-well more like melted the skin off. She backed away from me as she stared down at her hands.

Celeste stepped in as Lorena charged towards me. "Think really hard about what you will do next. I am consort of the King of Texas. I could give you the true death right here and now and no one would even bat an eyelash. Why? Because you just threatened one of my witches."

Lorena slowly sat down on the back of the couch. "I'm sorry...I did not know that she was in your coven."

Godric came beside Celeste and said, "I can take it from here. Retract your fangs.

Now."

Once Lorena's fangs went back into her gums, Godric coldly stated, "I neither know nor care who you are. But in this area and certainly in this nest, I am the authority. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sheriff." She replied obediently.

"This witch has proven herself to be a courageous and loyal friend to our kind...even though she may call us corpses, she still risked her life to save us."

Awkward since I only did it to save Sookie and to get information about my bitch of a mother like Eric said I would...but I'm not going to say that now. Godric's speech is getting really inspirational.

"And yet you treat her like a child does a dragonfly, pulling off wings for sport. No wonder they hate us."

"She provoked me."

True. I did. It was fun.

"And you provoked me. You disrupted the peace in my own home. I could snap you like a twig. Yet I haven't. Now, why is that?"

"It's your choice," Lorena reluctantly said.

"Indeed it is. You're an old vampire. I can tell. You've had hundreds of years to better yourself, yet you haven't. You are still a savage, and I fear for all of us, humans and vampires, if this behavior persists," Godric responded then pointed to Bill. "You. You seem to know her. Escort her from the nest."

Celeste turned to Lorena as Godric left, "I want you out of my kingdom before dawn. And if I ever find you again, I will not hesitate to end you. Be thankful of the fact that you got me on a good day."

I stuffed my purple pointy hat further onto my head as I pouted. "I hate you."

Once she left, Sookie suddenly hugged me. "I can't believe you said that."

"Said what?"

She lightly pushed my shoulder and answered, "That I'm your best friend. Well, I didn't know that."

"Uh, you are not. I just said that for dramatic effect."

"Sure," she drawled out before walking away.

"Aw, you made your first friend," Eric teased.

I pointed at his face. "Don't make me give you another wrestling match, corpse! I will enjoy it!"

Eric laughed and said, "So, Godric…"

"Godric what?" I asked curiously as I stole a drink and gulped it down.

"He likes you, you know?"

I spat out my drink and wide eyes looking towards him. "What?!"

"Do you feel the same?"

My heart pounded as I looked to Godric who stared back at me then at Eric who was doing the exact same thing. "I, uh...I-"

"Excuse me, everyone," some guy said as he came into the living room. Thank God! Hey, he looks familiar..where do I know him from? "If I could have your attention. My name is Luke McDonald. I'm a member of the Fellowship of the Sun. And I have a message for you all from Reverend Steve Newlin."

He suddenly opened his jacket and there was bomb fucking attached to him. I squeezed my eyes shut and I felt someone's chest covering my face before all I heard was ringing in my ears and dust all around me.

TBC…
