Kaeson tried to calm herself down on the way to the bathroom. 'I can't believe they treat me like I'm a child!' Kaeson thought as she opened the door to the ladies' restroom. After she used the bathroom, she inspected herself in the mirror. The jeans and t-shirt she was wearing was hardly what she would even consider on wearing if she knew she was going to be out. Her make-up was a bit smeared so she fixed it and then stared to work on her hair. She redid her ponytail and placed it a bit higher so it swayed a bit more and slipped her cross necklace underneath her shirt. After all, she doubted a sterling silver crucifix was a good thing to be wearing it at a vampire bar.
She walked out of the bathroom feeling a bit more confident and scanned the dance floor for an empty spot. She found one somewhat off to the side and quickly inserted herself in the crowd. It was the first time she had danced with strangers in a while and the first time she had ever danced with a vampire. As she was dancing she looked up to see Sookie and Bill talking to Eric and glance in her direction. Eric seemed to tense up and then eventually nodded his head as Sookie and Bill walked toward the door.
The song ended shortly after Sookie and Bill left. As Kaeson was turning to leave, her dancing partner lightly grabbed her arm and asked if he could buy her a drink. She agreed and allowed him to lead her to the bar. He was about five foot nine, broad shouldered, well-muscled, with brown hair and piercing blue-grey eyes. He let her sit first and then took the seat next to her.
"I'm Chris by the way." He said smiling and offering a hand to Kaeson.
"Kaeson." She replied timidly and slipping her hand into his.
They ordered their drinks and chatted a bit. As the bar tender set down their drinks, Pam walked over, tapped Kaeson on the shoulder and whispered in her ear:
"Eric wants to see you in his office."
"What? No." Kaeson replied pulling back from Pam.
"Look, he's not happy as it is and if you don't do as he asks his mood will get worse and no one wants to be around when that happens."
"If he wants to see me, he can come ask."
Pam let out a laugh and smiled as she replied, "You honestly have no idea how the vampire world works, do you sweetheart? Just follow me if you want to live."
Pam began to walk away and Kaeson turned to Chris and said, "Sorry, Chris. I don't want to leave you like this." He gave her an understanding smile and said it wasn't a problem. She smiled as she rose form her seat and tried to catch up to Pam.
Pam was leading her down a dark hall filled with doors. They kept walking to the end door on the right and there Pam stopped and knocked on the door. A sharp voice came from inside, "Come in."
Pam quietly opened the door, "I've brought Ms. Parker, like you requested."
"It took you long enough. Show her in and then leave us."
Pam basically had to push Kaeson in through the door. After she did, she closed the door and her heels could be heard leaving the hallway.
