NOTE - I own nothing and never will, enjoy and review!
Waiting for the human, I popped my fangs out in anticipation. It was a large truck, pulling up I sighed. It was Jason and his on again and off again fling Jessica. Stepping back out into the light as the two exited the car. Locking eyes with Jessica, her head dropped instantly.
"Jessica?" Jason asked, his twang as thick and slow as his sister.
"Jason, go inside" she stated, looking at me with fear.
I smirked and stepped closer "no Jason, stay" I stated.
"Jessica" Bill's voice rang out, looking to him I smiled.
A distressed Sookie was looking at them both "Whose this?" Jason asked, moving closer to Jessica and Bill.
"Hi there, I'm Athena" I stated, he smirked.
"Like the God?" Jessica asked, I nodded at her and giggled.
"I'm sort of like a God anyway" I purred.
"Sook, are you okay?" Jason asked, noticing his distressed sister.
She shook her head "That bitch is making Bill and I not be able to see each other" she mumbled, moving forward to him and hugging him tightly.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Jason, this here is one of the eldest vampires known to man. She is literally older than the bible" Bill stated to him, hoping he would understand.
"You're a fanger?" he demanded, disgusted at me.
"You obviously don't mind them seeing you were balls deep a few hours ago" I retorted, Jessica blushed.
"Look, I'm here to clean up the mess you all have created. Thanks to you lot, I've had to leave my life and come here to fix this mess" I stated cynically.
"Why, there's nothing to fix" Jessica stated.
"You'd think that with two vamps, a fairy and a cop you'd be able to take me down. You're body language is giving it away but trust me when I say this you will not kill me, many have tried and many have failed you will all obey me whilst I'm here fixing your mess" I stated.
"What mess!" Sookie snapped.
Arching an eyebrow at her, both Bill and Jessica tensed.
"The mess that Sookie Stackhouse has created, how she single handedily destroyed two of the most powerful vampires because of her magic fucking snatch and turned out most feared enemy into nothing more than a pathetic pup" I growled.
"So you fear her" Jessica stated, trying to brave it out.
I looked to her "If we feared her, I wouldn't be here now talking to you. She would be strung up and being bled out so we can walk in the sun and fix things that our day walkers are too dumb to deal with" I stated, sending a shiver down her spine.
"You seem like a very busy woman, we won't keep you long. What business do you have with us other than Sookie" Bill asked, bowing in respect.
I was starting to like Bill, he was the only person in this place that understood the term respect.
"A baby vampire, so young and so hungry you're lucky Bill understands respect" I stated to her, she clenched her jaw.
"You're just a old bitch" she stated to me, I looked at her with a smirk.
"Jason is yours is he not?" I asked, she nodded tightly.
"Not anymore" I stated, before moving to Jason with unhuman speed.
Gripping his jaw, my blood red nails dug into his jaw. His face with complete shock, I smiled at him.
"You have never been more in love with a person as much as you are with me; you think our hearts a synced together. The thought of Jessica repulses you; she will try to win you back but the thought of loving her makes your stomach churn. You will enjoy the pain you cause her through your disgust of who she is. Although through your disgust, you will befriend Hoyt again and convince him to despise her just as much as you do. Until you get to see me again, you will never feel whole but you will stay as charming as ever and love your family just as much as you always have" I glamoured him, my compulsion was ten times stronger than even the eldest vampires.
My parents were always surprised of my pull I have with people, they say it's to do with my age when I was turned. I was only nineteen when I was created; our family's castle was seized. Stepping away, I watched as his face melted when gazing upon me.
Stepping back I looked to a distraught Jessica "When will you learn, I'm the new sheriff in town and I have no problem staking problems along the way" I stated, aiming my insult to Jessica.
"Sookie, I am truly sorry that I have to steal your vampire from you. If you want, I can help you find someone equally as inviting as Mr. Compton here" I stated to her with a sick smile.
I was in a bad mood and I was hungry, I was going to be staying here awhile and I needed to make these people understand that I was here for their best intention. Zachariah and father simply wanted to just destroy them all, but maybe call me a softy but... I couldn't stand the thought of human life being cut short. It already was so pathetically short to begin with, why would someone like us want to destroy something as magnificent as human life.
"No, I'm fine thank-you. But I think it's best you leave, this is a family matter" she said, clenching her jaw.
I smiled and nodded "As you wish, but I'll be back before morning to collect my things" I stated, she frowned.
"Jessica, have you learnt anything from tonight?" I asked her, almost mockingly.
"Yeah, old vamps are just as big of pricks as I thought they'd be" she said, clenching her jaw.
"Put a leash on her Bill or I will give her to my brother to play with" I said, moving to her.
Grabbing her red hair, I smiled and rang it through my fingers "He always did like red heads" I stated, before ripping out a chunk of her hair.
Throwing the chunk on the ground beside the writhing red head, I looked to them.
"Don't forget my power, I am above the law and if you do not abide by my law. I will slaughter every last one of you" I stated, before melting into the night.
Making my way through the hot night, I headed directly for my next target. I'd acquired the bad taste I needed to leave in their mouths; I can't show weakness around these people. I'd met Eric several times before tonight, to put it easy. We were not unknown to each other; I was close with Godric before he decided to pass on. Eric and I for awhile were very accustomed to each other. But after a hundred years or so, his body bored me and my brothers became concerned. Stopping in front of his bustling club, I smirked and pushed past the bouncers who were bowering their heads.
I spotted Pam enticing a female fang banger; she clapped eyes with me instantly. Her blue eyes widening in shock, moving to her I smiled.
"Oh hi there, Pam is it? Where's Eric?" I asked, she stood up and covered her face in a hard façade.
"Eric is a tad incapacitated at the moment, maybe you should leave a message I'll make sure he'll get it" she purred at me.
I laughed dryly "Tell me where he is or I'll rip everybody's throat out into the entire club starting with yours" I purred back to her, she set her jaw.
"He's downstairs, enjoying the company of another dancer" she stated, I arched an eyebrow and nodded.
"Was it that hard?" I smiled, pushing off to were I could hear the dancers screams.
Turning back I looked to Pam "Oh by the way, there's an orgy in the bathroom. Three vampires are draining an underage girl, would you like some help?" I asked, she sighed and shook her head.
"I'm fine on my own" she snapped before stalking off.
Pushing open the door to the basement, the screams of her excitement radiated up the stairs and through my ears. Smirking, I stepped down the stairs waiting until I could gaze upon him. Leaning against the wall, I watched as he at a unhuman pace pleasured the new dancer.
Letting a bubble of laughter erupt from my lips, his entire body stiffened and stopped. The dancer moaned a 'no'. Without turning around, I could feel the hostility from him.
"You're not dead yet?" he stated, I shrugged.
"It takes more than a stake to get me I guess" I replied, pushing off the wall.
Walking towards him, I admired his frame from behind. Good days I shared with that body and by days, I literally meant days.
"Are you going to talk to me?" I asked.
"I'm busy" he stated.
"I'm not here to talk about the 1700's Eric, I'm here on business" I stated, authority ringing in my voice.
Sighing, he pulled away from the dancer and turned to me. Although I was ancient, I felt my cheeks flush red.
"Has it been that long, Athena?" he asked, I laughed dryly.
Avoiding his naked body as much as possible, I waited for him to slip his black boxer shorts on before I could face him.
"What is your business?" he asked.
"My dear old friend Russell Edgington has been wreaking havoc upon this town and all of America. I need to know why, what have you done" I stated, he frowned.
"Who said I did anything?" he replied.
"I knew of your father's death, I knew of your vendetta. But to chose know as the time to seek revenge on the death of your family at the cusp of equality between our species was a foolish move" I snapped at him.
He looked at me in anger, moving with speed his large hands wrapped around my neck and slammed me into the nearest wall. Fangs exposed his eyes boring into mine. He squeezed tighter.
"You knew that Russell Edgington had killed my family?" he sneered, I nodded.
"I knew the day he killed them, I didn't know it was your family until 1789" I stated, looking at him.
"That was the year..." he stated, before trailing off I nodded.
"The year that we hid in the French countryside whilst their country was at war, bathing in the blood of the lost" I replied.
"I wish Godric had hated you as much as I do know" he replied, releasing my neck.
"What did you do Eric Northman" I demanded, a smile peeked at his lips.
"Let's just say, he took my family so I took his" he said, my stomach instantly sunk.
"Talbot" I whispered, looking down.
He laughed "With his war against the humans, it was so easy to pursue him and stake him" he mocked him.
"Do you know your allegiance?" I asked.
"Is this why you're in town?" he turned to look at me.
Tapping my nose, I smiled at him. Turning my attention to the naked dancer beside him arching an eyebrow at her, I smirked.
"You never got over me did you?" I asked turning and walking back to the stairs.
"I was never under you" he snarled, I laughed.
"Then stop tapping girls that resemblance to me is completely uncanny" I stated, using quotation indications with my hands.
"Sookie is nothing like you" he stated, I shrugged.
"Maybe not, but yet again she has a habit of not wanting you. Maybe we have more in common than you think" I laughed.
"I have three weeks to clean this mess with Russell up, if not my brothers are coming to town. You being here with me definitely will sign your death warrant. Help me and I won't kill you" I stated to him.
"Stake me, because I ain't helping you" he stated, sucking in a sharp breath I turned to him.
"Don't make me hurt you" I stated, I did not want to hurt him.
"Do you forget I can make you do anything I want?" I asked, he shook his head.
"No, but I know you won't you may act tough but I know amongst them all, your the one that is the most human" he stated.
Stepping closer, I took a shaky breathe attempting to keep my cool.
