Chapter 2

Well this is still I test run for me with this character Keara. I did not give you enough to judge her worth yet so I will start with Keara. You'll see.

Keara had been tracking another child of Mara, another brother, a neopire, right after she left New Orleans. What bothered her was he was heading towards the area she met Godric. Meaning he got the scent too like she did. Old vampires are rare as so few can withstand time. She felt duty bond to protect him and his family. Keara being the archetype is able to identify sibling by scent. A neopire's scent is undetectable by vampires which make them deadly. Keara hoped the trail was fresh enough that she would catch Samuel before he kills anyone.

Keara tracked Samuel to a parking lot outside a club named Fangtasia. The club was closed for the night for what looked like to bring in new furniture. Keara paced back and forth because she lost Samuel's scent. Meaning he found out sje was following him somehow. Keara looked down and closed her eyes and took a deep breath trying to think on where he would go.

Eric saw this tall bare foot woman with long hair that look like she should be a model. He went out to inform her that his bar is closed. She looked troubled, maybe lost. She sure didn't fit in around here in Shreveport. Eric wonder what brought her here. Hopefully she would be a distraction from his worry on why Godric hadn't came hope yet. He could go checking up on him, even though he wanted to. He thought breaking the car was too far. Eric took a deep breath and smelt the ocean coming from the woman and his heart race excited.

Keara felt a gentle tap on her shoulder and turned around a looked up into the blue eyes of a blonde 6.4 man with a smile on his face and the smell of seaside forest clung to his skin. The man said, "Why hello there. I'm Eric Northman owner of this club. I am sorry but we are closed until tomorrow night. Is there anything else I can do you though?"

Keara took another breath and smelt vampire, Godric's line. Keara smiled and looked him in the eyes and asked, "You're a vampire aren't you?"

"How do you know?" Eric's fangs popped out feeling threaten.

Keara smiled and put her hand of his chest and Eric instantly relaxed and retracted his fangs. He was confused by how she could settle him with a touch. Keara said, "First your eyes shine in the dark, humans don't. But my Northman I am here hunting a bad man. He wants to hurt someone. I promised I would stop him."

"Well I am sorry to jump to conclusions. What does he look like? I'm the sheriff here I can help?" Eric offered.

"No I would be crushed if you were hurt. Just tell him if you seen a 6 foot man with long red dreadlocks and brown eyes?" Keara asked and looked around.

"Are you a vampire?" Eric asked as her leaned closer to Keara breathing her scent. Keara blushed and licked her lips and said, "Something like that. My name is Keara Moors."

They felt drawn towards each other and drew in to kiss. When suddenly Keara caught Samuel's scent and saw him running toward them with a gold knife. Keara said as she push Eric back like was human, "Get back he wants me."

Eric got up from the ground confused as The man and Keara fought fasted then he could follow. Keara then grabs the man and throws him. The man flips in the air and lands on his feet effortlessly. The paces side to side and yells, "You traitor! You killed our brother. Then you are out here kissing a vampire. We are above them."

Eric was shocked but waited as Keara held herself like his maker so he waited and listened as she said, "Mara's edict is murder. As the archetype it is my duty to make sure we stay in line. He doesn't love us. He is using us. You are guilty of the blood edict Samuel. I must end the murder."

"I will not bow to you." Samuel said as they charged each other. The fight this time was quick. Keara bit into Samuel's neck and drained him dry. His lifeless body fell to the floor as he burned into nothing. Eric walked up to her to see if she is ok.

When Eric got to Keara he looked over her shoulder and saw her holding the gold knife buried into her chest to the hilt. Eric became worried and said, "You are injured what do you need me to do?"

"This will not kill me. However I cannot remove it. Gold is my weakness. This knife will put me to death until its removed." Keara looked up at Eric.

Eric cupped her check and said, "I don't care what you are. You risked yourself to protect me. Tell me what you need."

"Find Godric." Keara said as she fell into a death like sleep and Eric caught her before she hit the floor and disappeared to where he hoped Godric was.

At Sookie's Godric and Sookie are watching Inception and Sookie asked, "How long ya gonna avoid Eric?"

"Not avoid punish him with my absence until he gets over his bratty phase. Or so the Gods help me I make him regret breaking my car. I like my SUV Tesla." Godric corrected Sookie as he held her against his body and watch the movie.

Sookie laughed and said, "Why not get Pam to charge a new one to his account? She'd loved to charge bills onto his account."

"I think you're right maybe by her a new car as well." Godric said smiling evilly and making Sookie laugh even harder.

Godric sat up and said, "I smell blood. Sookie let me up."

Sookie got up and Godric went to Sookie's front door and saw Eric carrying Keara with a gold knife sticking out of her chest. Sookie covered her mouth and stood aside as Eric carried her inside. Eric said, "She told me to find you before the knife put her in a death like sleep. Godric she followed someone here that I think wanted to kill me. She pushed me out of the way. What should we do?"

"Put her on the couch. We will call the doctor." Godric said as he pulled out his phone as started to dial.

Eric lay Keara on the couch and sat on the arm of the chair to stay near her. Sookie walked over to Godric and asked just as he finished his phone call to the doctor, "He seems really worried about her. What's going on?"

"I think my child is taken by her. She has the qualities that a Viking would want." Godric said as he turned around towards Sookie.

"But who is she?" Sookie asked as she looked over her shoulder at the injured woman and Eric.

Godric touched Sookie's arm and said, "Her name is Keara and she is forced to killed the dangerous members of her bloodline. She asked me to help her die. I could bring myself to do that. She accepted that."

"That's so sad. You said bloodline. Like a vampire?" Sookie asked confused and worried for Keara.

"Kind of. From what I understand an evil being made her kind to kill vampires but he later changed his mind and said to kill everyone. She being the first of her kind said no. Now she kills those who follow their maker's order." Godric said full of compassion and understanding.

"No wonder she's depressed. What an unfair thing to force someone to do." Sookie said very upset.

"It is her duty. She is responsible for the others. Its their deaths that haunt her." Eric said, like time had not passed and he was still a Viking not a vampire, as he lightly touched Keara's cheek.

Their was a knock at the door and Godric who was standing near the door still opened it. There standing was the dwarf healer doctor Ludwig. The doctor looked at Godric and said, "Death."

"Patricia." Said Godric in return greeting.

"Now you said you had a supernatural with a gold knife sticking out of their chest. Where is she?" the Doctor asked.

"Over there on the couch. Eric is watching over her." Godric said as he pointed the doctor the way. The doctor walked up the Keara and Eric bared his fangs at her in warning. The doctor said, "I am not blind. I can see she's important to you. However, unless you want her to stay this way, I'd advise you to move out of my way vampire."

Eric growled, but stood up and moved out of the way. The doctor looked carefully at her and asked, "She's not a vampire. But, she's like one. What is she?"

"I believe she told me that she is a Neopire." Godric said and the doctor nodded.

"Neopire hunt vampires from what I've read when I was a child. Why would you help her?"

Godric held up his. Hand to silence Eric who was going to yell. Godric then said to the doctor, "She has not killed a vampire since before I was turned. She saved my child from one of her own and kept her word to me. If she wanted to kill a vampire she could have killed me last night. Instead we made a vow. My child has fallen for her. What kind of maker would I be if I let his love die?"

"Fair enough. Someone will need to donate blood. She needs a pint of vampire blood after I pull this out of her." The Doctor said.

"Take mine, I owe her my life." Eric said.

"But won't removing the knife kill her?" Sookie asked.

"The knife acts like a stake for Dracula in the movies. It only paralyzes her. Once we get blood in her she wake up. There is no known way to kill her kind unless you are one." The doctor said as she drew blood from Eric.

An hour pasted and everyone jumped as Keara shot up into a seated position and screamed, "I'm here!"

Eric rushed to Keara's side and said, "You are safe."

Keara looked at Eric and touched his face and said, "My Northman."

"Doctor Ludwig pulled the knife out and gave you my blood." Eric said to Keara softly and gently.

"That explains the strange dream. Thank you Eric." Keara said and Eric kissed her forehead. Keara looked at the doctor and said, "A Dwarf. At least they called one with honor. You flattered me with you services. Its been a long time since I have seen your race."

"Been long for me since anyone knew how to talk to one of my kind. Next time move so the blade misses your heart." The doctor said as she turned and left.

Keara looked at Sookie and said, "Does the girl know she has Fae blood in her?"

"I what?" Sookie said shocked.

"So loud. I just woke up child." Keara said as she cringed at Sookie's extra loud voice.

"Sorry. My gran always said my voice carries. But what do you mean Fae?" Sookie asked as she got closer to Keara.

Keara sighed and moved so Eric could sit next to her like an overgrown mother hen. Keara's blue eyes looked straight into Sookie blues and said, "I mean Fairy. But the blood is small. Like 1/8. If you don't know then its better this way. Fae are not like they are in Disney. In fact you'd be better never to meet one. Just don't let any young vampires taste your blood they might lose control and kill you."
