Chapter 2

They ran downstairs and out the front door to see Eric and Bill fighting in the yard. Sookie turned to her left and saw Tara, Pam and Alcide join the scene. Jessica rushed out of the house and they all demanded to know what was happening. As Sookie and Godric told them the events of the night, Pam snapped out in rage, Alcide howled at the sky and Jessica began to cry. Tara hugged Sookie to her for the first time since she was changed. "A spell? How?"

"I don't know, we haven't had time to ask her yet." Sookie pointed to the witch that was standing off to the side.

Pam growled, stepping toward her. "You better start talking."

The women opened her mouth as Eric screamed out in pain. They all turned to see Eric holding his side with Bill standing over him, holding a silver knife. Before any of them could move the witch was there wrapping the silver chains, still attached to her wrist, around Bill's neck and pulled him backwards to the ground. He screamed out, pulled forward causing the witch to lose her footing. Bill pulled her by her hair, moving her head to the side and extended his fangs, "Hey, dumbass." Bill turned to see Eric behind him, holding the silver chains with his shirt. Eric smirked as he wrapped the silver around Bill's neck, arms, hand and legs so he could not move. "Now, don't you move." Bill glared at him as Eric knelt beside the witch. He grabbed the chains around her wrists and broke them, tossing them to the side as the other approached them. He drew the witch slowly into his arms, bit his wrist open and held it to her lips. She drank from him until he pulled his hand away then she shifted away from him and stood up.

Eric stood and hugged a very impatient Pam, "Why did you help her? We don't know who she is or if she is trustworthy."

"Holy shit! Petal?" Alcide called out, everyone turned to watch him walked toward the witch.

Her face lite up as she recongized him, he laughed as she lunched herself at him, he caught her up in a hug with his arms around her legs and spun her around. She gasped as she gripped his arms and laughed. "Fluffy, not so fast. I am still healing."

He stopped, set her down and hugged her to him. "Dammit Petal, I thought you were dead. Hell, everyone thought you were dead. How did you end up he... wait... Godric said that Bill raped you." Alcide growled as he turned to Bill.

The witch stepped infront of him, "Fluffy don't. It is over now, just let it go, besides it isn't the worst thing I have been through."

Eric growled, "It isn't?" Pam jumped slightly at the anger coming from her maker.

Alcide sighed as she shook her head. "I should have fought harder."

She laughed softly. "You were young and new to the force. If you had fought harder, you would have died." She kissed his cheek, "Don't live in the past, Fluffy."

"Sorry to inturrupt Fluffy ," Pam asked, Alcide groaned as he turned to them, "but is... um... Petal trustworthy?"

Alcide nodded, "I worked with her when I was working with Shadow Inc." he noticed the confusion in both Sookie and Jessica. "Shadow Inc was a military group made up of vampire, weres, shifter and witches. They protect the innocent, fight evil and save the world while remaining in the shadows."

"Oh, okay." Sookie whispered, "When was the last time you saw her?"

Alcide frowned alittle, "We were investigating this vampire that owned a strip bar, he was glamoring young girls into stripping for him, amoung other things."

"Other things?" Tara asked.

The witch cut him off before he could answer. "This is a long story, let's go somewhere comfortable while these gaurds take care of Bill."

"Shit, forgot about them."

"Relax Northman." she walked to his side as he stared at her confused. "I never stopped working of the Shadow." She turned to the gaurds that had bow slightly to her, "Take care of the trash until the Captian arrives."

"Yes Major Love." They grabbed chains and dragged Bill off to the house.

"Major?" Alcide asked in awe.

She smirked, "Yep, now where are we going?"

"My place, it isn't far from here." Eric stated.

She turned to him, "Picture it."

He smiled but did as she asked. He picture his home, she laughed as she felt his emotions, snapped her fingers and everyone found themselves inside Eric's home. He turned to look at her. "Nice."

"It comes in handy." she shrugged as she walked into the room behind her, it was a sitting room. The furniture was Victorian with hints of his Viking blood, she smiled as she walked around the room. Everyone sat down and waited, slowly she turned to them. "The vampire's name was Castel. He was born in the time of Nepoleon, he was turned by a woman named Maria at the age of 24. Not much is known about her." She spoke softly, Eric reached out and pulled her into his lap. "He would kidnap young women, glamour them into stripping at his club then he would pimp them out or sell them to the hightest bidder."

Alcide growled, "Forty girls died before we were asked to help with it."

"Fluffy, enough. So I went in undercover as a dancer. I was there for four years before I was put on the sale block." she added, she reached back to comfort Eric as he began to growl.

"You could have died." Alcide mumbled.

"He had just paid fifty-nine thousand dollors for me," she corrected, "he wouldn't have put a scratch on me."

"He?" Eric asked.

"A vampire named Alexandor Chormond."

"Alexandor!" Godric shouted. "He is suppost to be dead."

"I agree with you there Godric."

"Silence Alcide Herveaux!" she snapped. "He has made his mistakes but he will not die."

"Are you kidding me?" Alcide stood up, "Major Kendra Love is telling me that a phycopathic serial killer should die?"

"He is my son!" she stood, grabbed his throat and lifted him into the air, everyone watched her closely as he gasped for air. "What would have me do?"
