Ch 2
At the meeting Bill stood before the Inquisitor as a car came screeching to a halt at the edge of the crowd.
"She came." Pam mumbled as Eric nodded. Kerrie stepped out of the car as many of the vamp's fangs extended.
"What are you doing here, witch?"
"I'm here to speak for Bill Compton."
"Humans aren't allowed." A brown haired male vamp hissed as Kerrie's eyes narrowed. He fell to his knees as he grabbed his head and howled.
"Anyone care to join him or should we start?" A few of the younger vamps moved to the edge of the crowd as the Inquisitor nodded to Eric to speak.
"Bill was at Fangtasia with an associate when Long Shadow attacked the girl. Bill attacked him and the older vampire was killed."
"So Bill Compton you are charged with killing a higher life form to protect a human. Usually the punishment-"
"Eric left out an important fact." Kerrie said stepping forward.
"In my day a woman like you would be burned at the stake."
"Go ahead and try, let's see what happens to you." Kerrie said crossing her arms across her chest.
"Eric?"
"Long Shadow was stealing money from the bar therefor taking money away from Pam and myself."
"I think an alternative punishment is in order." The Inquisitor said as a female vamp pushed a girl to the front of the crowd.
"No. I know everyone of you here in your human life loved someone. What would you do to protect that person you cared about most? I know for me I'd do whatever was necessary to protect the person I love."
"I don't know why the King of Massachusetts puts up with you. This case is dismissed because I can't stand to deal with this woman." He boomed. Eric smirked in Kerrie's direction as she stifled a laugh.
"Why don't I give you some memories back?" Kerrie said closing her eyes as she focused her energy on the Inquisitor. "We'll be leaving now." Kerrie said walking to her car as Bill, Eric, and Pam followed her as the other vamps moved away.
"That was entertaining." Eric said as Pam looked in another direction.
"Pam, somethings never change. It's nice to meet you, Bill." Kerrie said opening her door. "Are you going to go with them? I'm going to get my son from Merlotte's, Sookie's watching him for me."
"You brought him down here?" Eric hissed.
"I had to. You called me early this morning about this. My parents are on a cruise and Danny's in Vegas so there's no one to watch him that I can trust."
"Ok, no need to go off on a tangent."
"You know I don't like coming down here. Declan's dad lives not far from Shreveport and if I see him I can't be responsible what I may do to him."
"He's out of town on business. I made sure he'd be out of the state when you came."
"Eric, I'm going to the bar." Pam said then disappeared.
"I'll follow you to Merlotte's. Bill come with me." Kerrie got behind the wheel and sped off back to the bar.
