Emperors

KRISTINA'S POV:

Vlad processes everything that I have told him so far and asks, "What are your plans and how can I help?"

He is so predictable; I knew he would want involved in this.

"We go to the America's and I will do my thing." I answer with his smirk.

He just chuckles and responds, "Are you going to tell me anything else?"

"Are you willing to be open minded to it all?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. I will tell him if that is what he truly wants.

After thinking on it for a minute I see the determination in his eyes as he nods for me to continue.

"Ok, firstly, Bill might have pledged fealty to Louisiana, but he is really working on the orders of his Grandsire who wants the state for himself. The Queen was informed of Bill being released from his maker, but what she doesn't know is that Bill's maker was never released. The only reason Sophie would entrust Compton with these tasks was because she thought he was free. Bill has tricked Sophie into thinking that Eric is a threat to her because everyone knows that he would be duty bound to avenge her death and few are strong enough to take him down. Bill is working on a timeline. First, he plans on endearing Sookie to him. He has already gotten his blood in her system and has been taking a tonic to enthrall her to him since she can't be glamoured. I will be putting a stop to that immediately. He will then plant 'V' in Eric's bar on his first stint of hours at 'Fangtasia'. He hasn't checked in with the Sheriff yet for that very reason. They had planned on Eric being pinned with the 'V' sales, and then Marcus would offer a marriage to Sophie to give her protection. After their marriage, he would kill her.

Now, Bill has been given strict orders by the queen to not bond or bed Sookie and to not let her anywhere near Eric. She must go to Eric; it is part of her destiny, as well as his. Bill's grandsire promised him Area 5 and Sookie for his work in overthrowing Sophie.

Jason, being the slut puppy that he is, is in trouble with the police. A fangbanger ended up dead after sleeping with Jason. He didn't kill her and it wasn't a Vampire. The fang marks were old and she was strangled, not drained. But Bon Temps is home to the stupidest police force in existence. They are pinning the murder on Jason strictly because they can.

Tomorrow night another girl will be killed, but I don't know who. I just know that Jason will be arrested instead of just being questioned. Both girls have been to Fangtasia and are known Fangbangers. Sookie, trying to save her idiot brother, will go to Fangtasia escorted by Bill to 'read' the patrons. Bill will also lay claim to her then. Eric will be drawn to her instantly, as will Sookie to him, but her feelings will be confused because of Bill's influence. Plus, Eric's heart is hardened and he will deny the mating pull. Sookie will let slip that she is a telepath by informing Eric of a raid on the bar.

Eric will summon Sookie and Bill to Fangtasia two nights later. I will need to arrive in Bon Temps the following morning if possible and give Sookie a charm so that she will be free of Bill's influence.

That night will also be Bill's first scheduled work duty at Fangtasia. He will attempt to plant 'V' in the bar. If we get to Fangtasia before Bill, we can warn Eric. He can then send a minion out to Bill's car where there will be a cooler full of Sophie's blood. Eric will take Bill into custody and place a call to the Magister.

Sophie-Anne, being as inexperienced as she is, will not be able to tell that Bill failed. She will have already had a call in to the Magister and he will show up at Fangtasia around one AM. Eric can play dumb and think that the Magister is there because of his call and the Queens plan will have failed."

Now to tell him the stuff that I am not sure how he will react to.

Taking another deep breath, I continue. "The Council will then start investigating the entire state. Sophie-Anne will be brought up on charges by the new Council at the Summit. Eric must stay neutral. We will then go to Texas. This is where things start getting fuzzy, meaning that there are still pieces in play. After Sophie's arrest, Eric will be named as acting Regent of Louisiana until the Summit.

At the summit, Sophie-Anne and her children, along with Bill, his maker, and his Grandsire, Marcus, will all be sentenced to the True Death. Eric will be offered Louisiana and he will accept. Between now and the Summit, the Supernatural Council will be getting the facelift that has been centuries in the making." I stop there, I know that he knows some of the prophecy, but I am sure that he doesn't know his place in it.

I can see the wheels turning in his mind. He looks up and states somewhat as a question, "The High Council and Preliminary Council that the Prophecy spoke of?"

"Yes, once in the America's I will be convening with the Council to get things started. It will not be much different except that the Council will become the Preliminary Council and they will lose one member. That member will become part of the new High Council. The High Council will contain two Goddesses and three Vampire Emperors." There, it has been said, but I know if he asks more about the High Council I will tell him.

"Who will sit on the High Council besides you? And who will stay as the Preliminary Council?" I swear, sometimes it's like he can read my mind.

"The Preliminary Council will contain two American Vampire Kings, one Fae, one Dae, one Handmaiden, one Witch, and one Were. The current representative for each race will maintain their chair.

And, as you already know, I will be on the High Council as 1st chair because of my rank amongst the Gods. Lady Pythia will be leaving the Preliminary Council and take up the 2nd chair. And then the other three chairs will have equal power and will consist of the three Vampire Emperors; One Emperor for the Americas, One for Europe, and One for Asia."

I can tell he is confused, which is something that rarely happens. I suppose I will take pity on him and tell him before he asks me.

"Lady Pythia is a Goddess. She is the Goddess of Vampires; that was her purpose for taking form. As for the Emperors, I will approach each of them. In fact I will approach the first tonight. You are to become Emperor of Europe, if you will accept the title. It is your destiny. You have always been destined to be a leader."

I can tell he is contemplating all of this. He is old enough to know the stories of The Three Great Emperors. There have been legends about them since the first sign of discord. It was to prepare The Elders for their future.

"I graciously accept, My Lady." He formally announces. I didn't realize how nervous I was about him declining until he accepted. Now all I can do is smile.

"Do you know who the other Emperors are?" He asks.

"Well, technically yes. The Emperor of the Americas will be my Eternal Mate. The Emperor of Asia will be Cleo, if she will accept." I tell him.

Cleo and I have known each other for about 10 years. She is another one of Vlad's "Grandchildren." Cleo's sire is Vlad's 2nd child. She is also quite old, around 1,400 years old. Like me, she has the gift of vision. Hers is more intuition with some premonitions. I also know her child, Rasul.

He is my contact in Louisiana. He is loyal to Sophie-Anne, to a point. It is more that he is loyal to the Crown. He would avenge her death if someone tried to take over the state, but he would never allow the state to suffer from a crazy queen.

"Okay, enough heavy talk. I have an appointment with Vivi for the final fitting of my gown. I will be back later." With a kiss to his cheek, I teleport the great distance to Vivi's warehouse, to see what is bound to be a gorgeous dress.
