Authos Note: Bill & I want to dedicate this chapter to Wiki's own Coal123 & Billandsookiefan3 for (possibly) seeing what some have missed in our little story… We still haven't figured out who they have in Bon Temps that is feeding them "possible spoilers" but you can be sure that the Investigator of Area 5, Mr. William Thomas Compton is on the case… We do love a challenge and our readers. ;-)

Oh shit, oh shit, this was a big mistake…, if something happens to me Bill is going to kill me, I thought.

The scary vampire kept staring at me; I swallowed hard as he took in my big belly, studying me from head to toe.

I thought of running away but even at my best physical condition he would be able to catch me. Not knowing what else to do I pasted my 'crazy Sookie' smile on my face and introduced myself.

"Hello, I'm Sookie. And who might you be and what are you doing here?" He smiled back still studying me.

With an evil grin on his face he asked, "you are William Compton's wife is that correct?" I swallowed hard and tried to prepare myself for the worst.

"Ye…, yes, I'm Sookie Compton…, and I AM HIS." I hoped somehow adding that would save me from being drained.

"Yes of course you are. Pardon me My Lady; let me introduce myself, I am…,"

"Octavious."

I felt a cold chill run down my back and my knees starting to shake, but I stood firm.

I knew that name.

He was the vampire Bill had been seeking to interview when he was kidnapped.

Sometimes I still wondered if he'd played a part in Bill's kidnapping.

I knew from Bill that he was really old (even older than Eric), was very crafty, very powerful, very dangerous and could be very very very evil & mean.

The baby started to jump in my stomach, my fear finding its way down to him and then I felt an intense rage.

Sheer uncontrollable rage and bloodlust.

In a swoosh I was off my feet and set down past the threshold of the house; the door closed behind me and for the moment I was safe from the vampire Octavious.

I ran to the windows and saw Bill crouching in front of Octavious, his fists balled, fangs out, his eyes black with rage and bloodlust.

"What are you doing here Octavious?" Bill snarled.

"I was wondering why you hadn't come searching for me again Bill?" Octavious said sighing and shrugging but otherwise emotionless.

"Now I see…, she is quite beautiful, quite pregnant, and quite fae…, and due any day now," he said matter-of-factly as Bill growled.

{GROWL}

"Do not concern yourself Bill; I have no interest in your mate or little one." He gave a dismissive wave in my direction as he spoke.

"I am old enough to have had contact with fae and not want to drink from them. I take it she's related to Fintan if she's with child…, your child." Not a question but a statement and there was no emotion in his words or face.

I opened the door and asked, "What do you know of Fintan?" Bill flew to stand beside me, wrapping a protective arm around my waist but remaining alert and ready for anything.

"Fintan and I fought against each other during the first fae war and then as allies during the second against the fae uprising." He shrugged not giving any more information nor moving from the same spot he held since Bill first arrived.

"You must be related to his child, if Niall has allowed for your child to grow to this stage." Not a question but a statement.

I fidgeted nervously asking myself how he could possibly know that and exactly what did he mean by…, "allowed for your child to grow?"

Octavious saw the hesitation and fear on my face and said, "My Lady, trust that I do not mean you any harm and that your grandfather was…, My Friend." He bowed to me and remained bowed until I bowed my head to him.

The baby stretched and moved to his normal size and I felt him relax, sending calm and loving feelings to me and Bill.

All of a sudden Octavious' head jerked up, his fangs popped down and his eyes grew black and he began scanning the area.

Bill pushed me further in the house and stood in front of me instructing me not to come out no matter what I saw.

They shared a glance and Bill (whose eyes became as black as the darkest night) moved closer out the door.

Out of nowhere Eric flew at Octavious who caught him by the neck.

I screamed "No don't hurt him!" as Octavious threw Eric to the floor he said, "he's not the one I am worried about."

Eric's head jerked to the left of the house as he heard or smelled whatever worried Octavious and Bill.

In an instant Eric jumped to his feet and stood next to Octavious waiting for whatever was approaching. His fangs were out and his eyes black as night also.

"Weres'" Bill whispered.

Eric turned to look at me, winked and gave me that "I'm sooo ready for battle" (fanged) grin of his.

"Shall we?" Eric sarcastically asked Octavious who responded, "Oh, but we must;" and they threw themselves into the night and into battle.

I held on to Bill for dear life not wanting him to join the fight, if two vampires with about 4,000 years of experience couldn't take on whatever was out there, then how could my 200 year old vampire survive.

I was becoming a nervous wreck but tried to steady myself.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and handed it to Bill. "Call Alcide and Calvin," I said as Pam and Clancy flew in out of nowhere.

Bill closed the phone, picked me up and flew me to our bedroom shutting the safe-room door after kissing me on the lips and saying, "stay here sweetheart, I'll be right back for you when it's safe."

I heard growls, snarls, yips and screams and about ten minutes later that seemed more like hours, Bill called out to me, letting me know all was safe before he opened the bedroom door.

He was covered in blood and I could still hear screams coming from outside.

My heart was beating a mile a minute as I asked him what had happened.

"Weres' sweetheart. We got them don't worry you're both safe now, please try to calm down," he said as he placed a hand on the baby and kissed my forehead.

"Bill, is that…, is that your blood?" He shook his head 'no.'

"Where's Octavious, where's Pam, Eric and Clancy? I asked pushing past him almost running down the stairs.

Bill picked me up and in vampire speed had me by the front door for me to see they were all fine, but not letting me step further outside.

"Oh Pam…, you're bleeding…" I said before I started to cry. I didn't know if she was more surprised at my concern for her or at the baby bump she hadn't seen before.

"Sookie, I'm fine how are you?" she said pointing to my naked belly which was showing through my open shirt. She finally understood why Eric had instructed her to remain outside and for me never to go outside to Pam. I righted myself and walked down the steps to her, throwing my arms around her as I continued to cry in earnest.

"You're emotional; this is normal for woman in your condition." She said as she gently removed me from her.

"Clancy are you ok?" I asked wiping my eyes and nose; after looking around I asked, "Where's Eric and Octavious?"

"Octavious? That was Octavious the elder?" Pam asked Bill who nodded.

"They went after two that tried to get away, they'll be back soon," Pam said.

"Sweetheart you need to go inside now, you need to rest." Bill warned.

"I'm fine Bill," I said as I turned to enter the house again and over my shoulder I said, "Pam, Clancy please come inside, clean yourselves up and Bill will get you something to drink." I still have manners, my gran had raised me right but they were NOT sitting on my clean sofa without cleaning up first.

We were heading back in the house when Octavious and Eric flew into the drive way; Eric was carrying a big bundle on his shoulders.

We all turned as they landed and watched as Eric threw a huge but tied were' onto the gravel. My sweet and loving husband snarled at the sight, blood lust and rage immediately taking over his face.

I watched as everything human in him disappeared and he became a complete vampire pulling behind him that which was HIS; me and his son.

To my surprise and fright the baby started moving and kicking like if he wanted to rip himself out of me.

Bill's head jerked and he turned in my direction as he felt the intense hate and bloodlust rage that was coming out from inside me; quickly snapping him out of his own bloodlust.

Octavious saw or felt what was happening and flew to my side and placed himself in front of me further covering me with his body just as the other vampires sensed the scent of a vampire they had not smelled before.

All the vampires had descended fangs with bloodlust taking them over for different reasons; I immediately feared for the baby's and my safety.

With one of those quiet vampire conversations, Eric ordered Pam and Clancy to leave; the look of confusion and bloodlust clearly on their face. Eric growled at them and they snapped back to normal, both nodding to their sheriff as they took the were' with them and left.

Once the remaining vampires were certain they had left, Octavious turned to Eric (another quiet vampire conversation) and Eric moved aside and away from us.

Octavious turned to me and said, "My Lady, I mean you and the Little Prince no harm."

He bowed to me again and then asked "May I?" His hands hovered above the baby bump. I nodded my consent but I felt Bill's hesitation as he moved in closer to my side a snarled growl slowly escaping his lips.

Octavious placed his hands on the moving bump and said some words; Bill and I immediately recognized the words as the same blessing Niall often gave the baby when he visited.

The baby quickly calmed down and we felt calm and love from him again.

Octavious bowed again and said "that will calm him. He will sleep well tonight and you'll be able to rest as well My Lady."

"Why do you keep calling me My Lady?" I finally asked.

"Because that is your title my dear one as you are the mother of the Little Prince."

He answered as if surprised at my question before he continued, (Eric's eyes grew wide as he took in the words from Octavious).

"Still, I would have expected the Viking to be the father not Bill." Bill pulled me closer to him.

"There must be something very special about you Southerner." Octavious laughed, Bill didn't find it funny at all and I squirmed.

"SHE IS MINE and HE IS MINE." Bill spat out stepping forward; I took his hand in mine willing him to stop and calm down.

Octavious smiled as he said, "Indeed they are."

"Octavious, thank you for your help tonight. Won't you come in please," I said changing the conversation; shocking all three vampires. Like I said, I still had manners; that and I had to pee really really badly.

Eric excused himself as he wanted to get back to Shreveport and the were but Octavious demanded they wait for him to interrogate him.

I excused myself and went to the bathroom as Bill poured out three Royalty Blue for us. Octavious let out a deep guttural laugh as he watched me drink mine.

I had a million questions about Fintan for Octavious but Bill (who had calmed down considerably) was starry eyed as Octavious promised to answer some of his questions as long as they never made it to Bill's data base; which Bill agreed to.

We found out that Octavious was so elusive because my grandfather Fintan had taught him how to lose himself to the world as the fae often did.

He taught Bill the fae blessing Niall often gave the baby; Octavious had become furious when we told him Niall hadn't taught it to Bill.

Octavious told us the blessing was a fae lullaby used to lull fae-vampires into rest, quenching their thirst for blood, particularly the blood of the blessing giver. He told Bill that I could have lured him and drained him or any other vampire that came near me without it.

I started to feel sleep tugging at my consciousness as Bill and Octavious continued their conversation; Bill noticed and took me to bed waiting for me to fall asleep before returning to our guest.

As I lay on the bed, I wondered if Octavious was the powerful ally the fae seers had predicted.

I prayed we would never have to find out as this could only mean danger was right around the corner and the peaceful days for the Compton family would be over.

Jesus Christ, Shepherd of Judea please protect us…
