Lorena smiled as a familiar brunette entered her suite.
"Just woke up I see" she said and Keely sighed.
"My curls came out and Pam isn't here and she didn't teach me how to do them myself" she said and Lorena smiled.
"Sit down and I'll get you something really special to wear and we'll go out for the night" she said and Keely smiled and nodded.
"That sounds like fun" she said and Lorena smiled and went to her room and grabbed a blood red dress, matching lipstick and her curling iron.
"Do I look ok?" she asked and Lorena smiled. Keely looked 19 even 20 years old with her new look. Her blood red lips and the matching dress that showed her very athletic but perfectly developed 17 year old body.
"You look beautiful, now let's go and show Eric and then we can go" she said and Keely nodded and led Lorena to Eric and hers suite.
"Eric" she called and he entered and then stopped and looked at her.
"Well? Too much, you like or you hate it?" she asked and he smiled and looked as smiling Lorena.
"You did a brilliant job, Lorena. She looks beautiful" he said and she smiled.
"I thought we could have a girls night out" she said and he nodded.
"Jessica?" he asked and Keely giggled as Lorena smiled.
"Keely went to ask her to come and found the young girl defying orders and having sex with some human boy" Lorena said and Keely smiled.
"I always knew there was a fighter in Jess" she said and he chuckled.
"Well then you girls have fun and be home before dawn" he said and Lorena smiled.
"I'll have her back by 4" she said and he nodded and the two smiled at him and left.
"Where are we going?" Keely asked and Lorena smiled.
"I know a great place" she said and Keely nodded and bite her lip at the attention of men, she had never really had before.
"You ok?" Lorena asked and she looked at the older brunette.
"Never had male attention like this before" she said and Lorena smiled.
"Head up high Keely, you look beautiful and you will have men throwing themselves at your feet. Love it, embrace it, enjoy it" she said and Keely smiled.
"Well then, bring on the boys" she said and Lorena smiled as they left the hotel.
"You have got to be joking me? This is the headquarters of the Fellowship of the Sun?" Eric scoffed the next night.
"That's their army? Scared little boys with bibles and crossbows?" Keely added with a raised eyebrow and Isabel sighed.
"Do not underestimate them. Support for their movement is growing. Their leadership camps are overflowing with self-righteous extremists all willing and ready to die for their cause" she said and Keely smiled.
"That can be arranged quite easily, I'm hungry" Keely said and Eric gently took her hand, stopping her from moving.
"Not until we know for sure the Fellowship has Godric" Isabel said and Keely sighed.
"And how do we do that? Not like we can waltz on over and ask" Keely said and Isabel shrugged.
"That, I don't know" she said.
"What about your boy, Hugo...and Sookie" Eric asked and Keely held back her mean comment about the stupid blonde, who was really beginning to get on her nerves.
"They've been in there too long" Eric said.
"There's no sign of alarm. And if Hugo were in serious danger, I would know it" Isabel replied.
"I felt something earlier, but it passed. He's ok now" she said and Keely and Eric nodded, watching the boys and the church.
"Tell me, what is it that you find so fulfilling about a human relationship?" Keely asked curiously.
"They feel much more strongly than we do. Everything is urgent. Exciting. Maybe because their lives are so temporary" Isabel said and Eric looked at Keely then back at the church.
"Yes, they certainly don't keep well" he replied.
"Don't you find the prospect of him growling old, sickly, crippled somewhat...repulsive?" Keely asked and looked at Isabel.
"No, I find it curious. Like a science project" she replied and Eric cracked a small smile as Keely smiled.
"How does Bill Compton feel about your interest in Sookie?" Isabel asked.
"I am not interested in Sookie...and even less in how Bill Compton feels" he said and Keely snorted.
"Yeah and I don't want a Gucci handbag" she said, rolling her eyes as Eric glared at her and Isabel gave an amused look.
"My only interest is finding Godric" Eric said and Keely sighed and gently took hold of his arm.
"Of course" Keely smirked and he glanced at her.
"Don't look at me like that" he said and she smiled and looked back at the church.
"Do you really believe these fools could overpower a vampire such as Godric and hold him for weeks?" Eric asked as the three watched the human males walk around with crossbows in front of their precious church.
"Stan is sure of it. But I have known Godric a long time. It's hard to imagine anything could overpower him" Isabel said and Keely looked at the woman and then at Eric.
"Not anything human" he muttered and she sighed.
"So now what do we do?" Keely asked.
"We go back to the hotel and make a plan" Eric decided and they all ran back to the hotel. Keely gritted her teeth as she, Eric, Isabel and Stan walked along the hall towards Eric and Keely's suite.
"Maybe the little rats have run off, joined the Fellowship themselves" Stan said.
"Careful, Hugo is mine" Isabel warned.
"Oh please. If you cared about him so much, we'd have been in that church hours ago" he scoffed.
"With no plan, no exit strategy? That's why you'll never be Sheriff Stan. You don't think" Isabel said.
"And you're too chickenshit to act" Stan bite back and Keely growled slightly and felt Eric grab her hand.
"Which is why we've been getting Godric's coffee for the last 40 years. And you..." Stan said and Keely and Eric looked at him.
"Fellowship has your maker and your telepath and still you do nothing" he said and Keely clicked out her fangs and then watched Eric grab Stan and shove him backwards, holding him against the wall.
"Are you questioning my loyalty Stan?" he growled.
"Just trying to return Godric to his rightful position" he replied.
"Oh really because I think maybe you have another agenda" Keely growled and Stan glared at her but wasn't stupid enough to comment with her maker holding him to the wall.
"Maybe you think starting a war with the Fellowship will distract us from the truth, that you're so starved for power, you murdered Godric for his title" Eric snarled.
"That is a lie" Stan growled, deeply.
"How dare you accuse me?" Stan growled and Keely placed a hand on Eric's chest and gently pulled him away.
"Eric, we don't know that. There's no proof" she said, softly.
"Not yet, but I will find it" Eric said, without looking at her.
"And when I do there will be no mercy" Eric growled, moving back, pulling Keely to his side, as a calming presence.
"In the meantime you two can stand here and quibble over his position or run into that church and kill them all. I no longer care" he said and then walked over and stood by the doorway, clinging to Keely.
"If Godric is gone, nothing will bring back what I have lost" he said softly and Keely stayed silent when she saw the blood tear before they entered the suite and Eric kissed her forehead and went off to his room, closing the door.
"Fangtasia, what you want?" Pam's voice asked.
"Well hello to you too sis" Keely said.
"Keely, how are you cupcake?" Pam asked in her special happy voice.
"I'm ok but I don't think Eric is. Something bad is happening here Pam and no one has a clue what it is" she said.
"How are you and Eric? Are you hurt? Dying?" Pam asked and she sighed.
"No but something happened with Godric, Pam and it's really getting to Eric and I have no idea what to do" she said.
"Go and talk to him" Pam replied.
"What am I meant to say, Pam? I am barley a month old, how the hell do I comfort him with this?" she asked.
"You don't really need to do a lot. Sit beside him and he will do what he needs to" she said and Keely sighed.
"I guess. I'll call you tomorrow, let you know what's happening" she said.
"Ok and sweetie" Pam said.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"Tell him you love him" she said and Keely smiled.
"Sure, want me to say that's from you as well?" she asked and Pam laughed softly.
"He'd laugh his fangs out if he heard me say that...so yeah" Pam decided and Keely smiled.
"I'll call you tomorrow" she said.
"Bye Cupcake" Pam said and they hung up. Keely changed into a pair of black jeans and a black top and sky blue jacket with a pair of black converse and then went across the suite and gently knocked on Eric's door before she entered and walked over and saw him curled up on the bed. She sighed and walked around and sat beside him, gently taking his hand.
"I know there's nothing I can say that will make it hurt any less but we love you Eric. Me and Pam" she said and he smiled gently.
"You I believe but Pam...yeah not so much" he said and she smiled.
"She means it Eric, I know she does" she said softly and he gently pulled on her arm and she lay beside him and he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"The last time I did this, you were becoming a vampire. I could felt your skin grow cold, I felt your heart stop and I know it sounds strange but, it was one of the best nights of my life" he said softly and she smiled and held onto his arms as he hugged her.
