A/N: I have absolutely no knowledge of American history so if something the characters says or does is inaccurate I apologize. I'm just writing their pasts with not much thought on the context of that time period.

I know this chapter might make it seem that I hate Bishop, but I don't (Jesebel does but that a whole thing). Marcus I do hate though, very much, he's an a'hole.

Sally isn't in much of the story my if I can think of an OC for her she might be in it more. Next chapter will be almost completely in the past and the one after that will be about La and Josh :)

Declaimer: I don't own the show, just me OC's. PLEASE REVIEW… Hope you enjoy…

Chapter 2: Surprise

In the morning Jesebel snuck away, she had things to do. Firstly, she had to make her way to Saps and Sons, to inform Bishop she was in town. She knew that he would be offended if he didn't hear the news from her. She made her way into the stylish reception area. On the desk to her left sat Marcus, scowling at her in hatred. She thought to herself how much she wished that she was strong enough to rip of his head right then and there.

"Jesebel, how lovely to see you. How is your blood bag diet treating you?" He said while not moving from his position behind the desk. She leaned in, placing both her hands on the desk and asking. "Is he in?" Marcus played dumb. "Is who in?" She stood up straight once more, trying not to express her frustration on her face she said. "Come on Marcus, I don't have time for this. Is he in or not?" A snarling noise came from his throat as he spat. "I don't know abomination, why don't you go see." Calling her an abomination didn't bother her, 'nice try' she thought to herself as she smiled and said with a sarcastic tone. "Fine, it was great seeing you Marcus." He didn't reply of course, and she didn't care. Just turning around and heading to the back room.

Bishop sat at his large mahogany desk, head buried in paperwork that he looked up from when Jesebel entered the room. "Jesebel, I didn't know you were in town. What a nice surprise." He said with a smile, she smiled back. "You too Bishop." She lied, he was the last vampire on earth she wanted to be in the same room with. She hid her hatred. "I just got in last night. I thought that you would appreciate my visit. Instead of finding out from one of your.. lackeys." He nodded as she sat down then saying. "I do appreciate it. You have always respected authority." She laughed to herself repeating Marcus's comment. "Even though I am an abomination." He started at the door, he knew Marcus was listening. "I wouldn't say that, but I know you better than Marcus. You've heard about Aiden I assume." She nodded. "Yes, I showed up on his doorstep. The look on his face was amusing, but not surprising. I wasn't surprised to learn that you told him I was dead." They both shared a look for a moment. Bishop could tell she didn't want to be there, he could tell she hated him.

Trying to recover, because he was fond of her he said. "You understand why though, if he knew you were alive…" She interrupted him by saying. "He would of gone looking for me. I get it, you wouldn't want to lose your precious Aiden to me. Seems as if you've lost him without my influence." Seeing the look on his face she immediately said. "I apologize, I struck a chord." She apologized because she knew he had a short fuse when it came to loosing Aiden. She didn't want him to hit her, she hated when he did, he took too much pleasure in it. He just smiled. "Yes but its fine. I enjoy your respect but I also enjoy when you speak your mind. The sheep that surround me are annoying." She laughed, instantly thinking of Marcus. "Yes, I hoped that you would have got rid of Marcus but I guess he might be useful." Marcus stewed in hatred for the woman in the other room her whispered to himself. "Stupid blood bag drinking whore." Jesebel smiled, of course he would assume that she couldn't hear him. "I can hear you Marcus." Bishop laughed at this and said with a sigh. "You two will never get along will you." She shook her head. "No we won't." After a minute of silence she hesitantly said. "I have a… friend with me, I'll bring her to meet you soon. She was just a bit tired." "I'd offer to take you two to dinner but I'm guessing she's on blood bags to." He said and it took all her will not the roll her eyes. Bishop looked at the stunning woman, she was one of his favourite vampires. "I do have to say you do look considering you're not on live." She smiled, knowing that was the highest compliment that he would give her. "Thank you. I also have to say that I admire your new no killing policy. It's commendable." She said, saying the only complement that she could think of. They both stood up and he came over to her, she wished she could just shake his hand and be done with it but of course she wouldn't get what she wanted. He hugged her tight, she returned the hug and much as she could without making herself sick. He smiled at her beautiful face and said. "Thank you Jesebel it really is very nice to see you."

Lyarnah opened her eyes wide when she smelt the blood. Of course she knew it was only blood from a bag heating in a microwave but it smelt good all the same. She ran down stairs and found Josh, staring into the microwave and watching the mug of blood spin around and around. She smiled as she watched the werewolf, spinning his head as the mug spun. She stepped closer and a floor board creaked under her foot. Josh spun around and she said. "Hey Josh, didn't mean to sneak up on you." He smiled. "No, its ok. I was just heating you up some blood because Jesebel asked me to." He was so kind and considerate, she thought that he was almost gentlemanly. "I can see that. Where is everyone?" He shrugged. "There all off doing their own thing, it just you and me." If Lyarnah could still blush she would of, but it was ok because Josh blushed enough for both of them. "Jesebel said she'd be home in an hour or so though if you…" "I like being here with you Josh. Its ok that we are here alone." She said stepping another step towards him. "Great… good.. fantastic." She laughed and his fumbling of words. Before either of them could speak the microwave made its horrible beeping noise. And before Josh could turn around Lyarnah was on the other side of the room, getting the mug from the microwave. She turned away from Josh and drank down some of the blood. Josh could tell that she was embarrassed. "Lyarnah, you don't have to turn away. Its ok to drink in front of me." She spun back around and sat at the table opposite him. "Sorry, I just find it… I'm not too comfortable drinking blood in front of others, except Jesebel of course." He smiled a smile that said 'its ok' and she smiled back saying. "You can call me La by the way. My friends call me La."

"Hey sweet thing, where're you going?" Aiden yelled to Jesebel as he saw her walking towards his place. She twirled around to face him, her face beaming with joy. She hugged him, but not too tight because she could tell that he was holding several blood bags under his jacket. "Hey Aiden. Were you at the hospital getting.. food for your new guest." They linked arms and walked together down the street. "Very observant of you Jess. Yes I was getting some more blood seens as there is now three vampire mouths to feed." She laughed, flirtingly touching his arm and he returned with a look that would make any woman weak at the knees. It did work on Jesebel but she was just good at hiding it.

When Aiden and Jesebel walked in the door hand in hand they found Josh and Lyarnah in a fit of laughter. They immediately broke off from each other and joined the hysterical couple. "Hey guys, tell us what's so funny that your basically peeing yourselves." Aiden said in the tone that made him sound like a dad trying to ask what the kids are into these days. Jesebel mocked his tone and added. "Yes, tell us what we've missed." Aiden shot her a passing glance before taking a seat next to Josh. Jesebel took the seat next to Lyarnah and went they sat down Josh said with bursts of laughter in between. "Well its… umm it's hard to explain. It's not that funny anyway."

Jesebel and Lyarnah went to pick up their luggage from the train station and Josh and Aiden sat watching tv. "So what was that before with Lyarnah?" Aiden said probingly as Josh was engrossed in a television show. "What do you mean?" He replied and Aiden smirked. "Before I think I saw some.. sparks between you to. Are you developing a thing for a vampire Josh." "What… no. Their wasn't sparks. I don't have a t-thing for La." Josh said, stumbling over his words. Aiden laughed. "Oh so its La now, you're on nickname basis. Interesting." Josh shook his head. "No, It's n-not interesting. You know what's interesting, you and Jesebel are interesting. I know you thought we didn't see but I saw you two, holding hand and being all couplely ." Aiden became quiet, shying away from Josh in embarrassment. "I'm right aren't I? There's something going on between you two." Josh said now probing at Aiden. He didn't reply straight away, he shrugged, thinking of what to say before he said it. "I… to be honest Josh I don't know. But we had a small thing a long long time ago, and if my head wasn't.. if I wasn't such a stubborn a'hole I would of seen what I had before I lost it."

New Orleans May 31st 1793

He waited outside, arms folded behind him, watching as the horse and carriage coming slowly towards him. He wasn't supposed to be waiting outside for the carriages arrival but he wanted to be the first to see the woman that interested Bishop so. He knew she was younger than him but not by much. But he also knew that is it came down to a fist-a-cuffs battle between the two she would win hands down. 'She's special' were the only words that Bishop had divulged. So he was very interested to learn what was so special about this girl.

The carriage stopped in front of the house, the driver jumped out of his seat and opened the door of the carriage. What stepped out was more than Aiden could of ever imagined. Her black hair hung down straight, unlike most women her age. Her dress was long and her bosom exposed and Aiden realised that he was staring at her. She smiled in embarrassment and held out her hand. "Good day, sir, I'm Jesebel Miller." He took her hand and helped her down that stairs. "Very lovely to meet you Miss Miller, I am Aiden." He said then kissing her hand, she smiled again. "Very nice to meet you Mr. Aiden." Before he could rebut her Bishop came out of the house with open arms. "Jesebel my dear, I'm glad you could make it." He said and she curtsied. "Mr. Bishop, I'm just glad I could come." "Oh Jesebel I've told you time and time again, call me James." He said then taking her hand and guiding her inside. Aiden looked in envy for a moment then following shortly behind.

Later that night

Jesebel was in her room, organising her luggage that one of the servants had just brought up. Aiden knocked on the door to her room, waiting for her to answer it. She was busy so she yelled out. "You may come in." He entered the room and she smiled instantly. "Oh Aiden it's you." He smiled back and nodded. "Yes it's me, I came to see how you settling in and to tell you that dinner will be served soon if you would like to join us." She rolled her eyes in her head, though it wasn't proper for a woman to speak her mind she was different. "I assume we are drinking innocent villages." She said bitterly, Aiden was set back. Momentarily stunned at her tone. "I'm sorry I… forget I said anything." She said with a smile, he nodded and replied. "I shall leave you now." He said then heading for the door. She grabbed him at the wrist. "No Aiden… You don't have to leave." He smiled at the sweet look on her face. "I would stay, but I must get back. Goodnight Miss Miller." He said with a small bow. She curtsied back with a small giggle. He headed for the door and before he could leave she said. "Jesebel." "You may call me Jesebel, Mr. Aiden." He smiled brightly and said. "Goodnight Jesebel."

Present

Josh waved his hand in front of Aiden's face. "Dude you in there?" Josh said with a worried look on his face. "Yer I was just… daydreaming I guess." Aiden replied but Josh still looked worried. "Ok then… its night time so it wouldn't technically be daydreaming but ok." Aiden laughed playfully hitting Josh and saying. "You are such a smart ass." Josh scowled. "Am not." He said in the tone of a small kid. "Boys, boys, boys. Stop bickering or I'm turning this car around." Sally said as she appeared in front of them. Aiden laughed. "Hey there Casper where have you been all day." "Around, where are your girlfriends?" Sally asked and the boys both scowled at her simultaneously. "What? Your both sweet on them." She said then flopping herself on one of the lounge chairs. "At least you're not sweet on the same one, now that would be something to scowl about."
