"Keely" Eric snarled.
"I offer myself for both girls and Godric" he repeated and Steve scoffed.
"That's noble but they're both just as despicable as you are. A whore of Satan and a child vampire, she is a traitor to her race and she...well she's just an abomination that will burn right beside you" he said and Eric growled as he heard Keely, whimpering. Steve ignored Keely and walked over to Sookie.
"I bet this marshmallow would roast up nicely" he said and they heard screams and then Bill Compton entered.
"Sookie!" he shouted and Keely managed to roll her eyes.
"Great and I was hoping for someone to help" Eric and Bill heard Keely whimper from her place curled up in a ball with silver around her neck.
"One more step vampire and the girl dies" Steve said pulling a gun to Sookie's head.
"If you shot her everyone here will die" he said loudly.
"Let her go now" Bill ordered.
"Honestly, what do they see in you?" Steve mused.
"Soldiers some more silver chains for our other vampire friend here" he said.
"Don't, he's done nothing to you" Sookie said.
"Sookie I will be fine" Bill said. Keely saw something shot the man's hand and he dropped the gun and she couldn't look around thanks to the silver.
"Let her go, fuckwad!" she heard a man's voice shout then laughed as a green paint ball hit Steve in the forehead. Keely gasped as Sookie pulled the silver chain from her and then did the same for Eric before rushing to Bill. Eric sat up and rushed over to Keely.
"Are you ok?" he asked and she nodded.
"I'm fine" she said and he nodded and then grabbed Newlin by the throat and held him to the stone stairs.
"Eric do not kill him!" Sookie shouted.
"Kill him! Kill the mother-fucker!" the male from before shouted and Keely saw a familiar blonde male.
"Jason?" she gasped and he gasped and stared at her.
"Keely Adams?" he gasped and then she turned and slapped Newlin making Eric frown at her.
"What? He called me a whore and I stuck to the rule, no blood spilt" she said and he smirked slightly at her as she smiled.
"So he did and I see that, well done" he said and she smiled as the human's looked at them as if they were crazy.
"Go ahead murder us. Murder us before God. We are willing to die" Newlin said and Keely heard the accelerated human heart beat and grinned.
"No, I think it's just you" she said and Eric grinned and nodded. They heard the sound of many vampires and then sighed as Stan entered with a large group of vampires.
"Steve Newlin, you pushed us too far. You expect us to sit on our thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us? We'll kill you first. Same way we did your father" he added and Keely rolled her eyes.
"Great speech then you messed it up" she whispered and Eric nodded but didn't comment.
"Murderer!" Steve shouted and then tried to get up as Eric held him to the steps.
"Destroy them, all of them" Stan growled and people began screaming and Keely looked around and saw each human, apart from Sookie and Jason, was being held by a vampire.
"Enough!" they all heard a powerful male voice say. Eric and Keely looked up and saw Godric standing on the railing of the balcony.
"You came for me I assume" he carried on and Keely saw Eric let go of Newlin's throat.
"Underling" Godric said.
"Yes Sherriff" Stan growled.
"These people have not harmed me. You see, we can co-exist" Godric said.
"Mr. Newlin?" Godric said and Eric, Keely, Sookie, Bill and everyone else looked at Steve as he sat on the stairs.
"I do not wish to create bloodshed when none is called for" Godric said and Keely looked at Godric and then Eric.
"Help me set an example. If we leave you in peace, will you do the same?" Godric asked civilly.
"I will not negotiate with sub-humans. Kill me" he said and kneeled in front of Eric and Keely, removing his tie, displaying his neck, making Keely's throat burn for blood.
"Kill me, do it. Jesus will protect me" He said and Eric grabbed Keely's arm, stopping her for doing as the human asked.
"I am actually older than your Jesus. I wish I could have known him but I missed it" Godric shrugged and Keely bite back a laugh at the male's nonchalant shrug, then Godric jumped from the balcony to behind Steve, appearing as only a flash of something to every human. Keely gasped as the young handsome male stood beside her, holding onto Newlin's suit jacket collar.
"Good people, who of you is willing to die for this man's madness?" Godric asked and they all looked around but none said anything.
"That's what I thought. Stand down everyone" he said and the vampires let go of the scared humans.
"People go home, it's over now" Godric said and Keely looked up at Eric.
"Now can I eat him?" she asked and he chuckled slightly at her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
"Sorry Vackra" he said and she huffed.
"If we get to the hotel and you tell me to drink Tru Blood, I will stake you myself" she said and he gave her an amused smirk and kissed her head.
"Please don't leave me" Newlin whimpered and then Godric pushed him and he fell at Keely's feet.
"I dare say my faith in human kind is stronger than yours" Godric said angrily.
"Come" Godric said and walked down the stairs. Keely looked at him and their eyes met and she gave him a small smile which he returned before walking on and stopping in front of Stan.
"Sir, after what these humans have done to you..." Stan began.
"I said come" Godric said and Stan sighed and moved aside to allow Godric to pass before he followed him.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Eric asked as he walked over to Sookie and Bill glared at him.
"She is fine, go with your maker" Bill growled and Eric turned and saw Keely waiting for him.
"Come on Vackra" he said and she sighed.
"Would Godric or Pam tell me?" she asked and he smiled.
"I don't know" he said and she smiled.
"Guess I just found my reason for talking to Godric" she said and they left the church and saw Godric there.
"Talk to me? What for?" he asked and she felt Eric's amusement.
"To see if you'd tell me what Vackra means, Eric is being mean and not telling me" she said and he gave her a look then looked at Eric.
"Who are you Miss...?" Godric began.
"Northman" Eric said and she saw the shock on Godric's face.
"She is my new Progeny" he said and Godric smiled.
"Nice to meet you" he said and she smiled.
"You too, I've heard all about you" she aid and he smiled slightly.
"Well I have not heard anything of you, shall we?" he asked and Eric smirked as he felt Keely's shyness as she gently slipped her arm through Godric's and they walked ahead.
Keely looked at Godric as he sat in his chair looking bored and tried.
"Poor guy" she muttered.
"What makes you say that?" asked Eric's voice and she sighed.
"Well look at him. He looks bored out of his mind listening to all those people blab on and on" she said and he smirked.
"How was your walk back?" he asked and she sighed.
"Boring" she said and he looked at her with a frown.
"Isabel met us about ΒΌ of the way back. Then she and Stan dragged him off and I haven't been able to say more than a few words to him since, all of which consisted of 'hi', 'have you seen Eric' and 'bye'" she said and he sighed.
"I've got toys I've had longer conversations with" she said and he chuckled at her.
"You'll get a chance" he said and she sighed.
"I guess, I'm gonna go and find Isabel, see if she has anything else I can wear" she said and he looked at her.
"You look fine" he said and she sighed as he dragged her off to speak to a few people she didn't know.
"Hey Bill" she said and he looked at her.
"Where's Jess?" she asked and he sighed.
"Back in Bon Temps" he said and she frowned.
"What? Why?" she asked.
"For her own protection, I'd assumed Eric did the same for you" he said and she sighed,
"Eric won't try and protect me from everything and beside's he ain't gonna tell me to leave, knowing he'd waste his time" she said and he looked at her.
"I'm so glad I got Jessica" he said and she smirked.
"Yeah and so am I, can't say the same for Jess though" she said and he rolled his eyes as she grinned and went to find someone she knew to talk to.
"Keely" she heard Jason call and turned and smiled.
"What are you doing here?" she asked and he sighed.
"Bad choices, dumb ideas and lies" he said and she nodded.
"What about you and how do you know all these Vampire's? Last I heard of you, you were off to Hamilton College" he said and she sighed.
"I was kidnapped a month ago and taken to a car lot" she said and he looked at her and she sighed.
"And well..." she began and then he gasped and jumped when she clicked out fangs.
"You're...you're...does Rick know?" he asked and she nodded.
"Yeah he and Kaleb both do" she said and he nodded.
"Are you ok?" he asked and she nodded.
"Better than home" she said and he nodded.
"I can imagine" he said and she smiled.
"Are you going to talk to Godric?" she asked and he sighed.
"I wouldn't know what to say" he said and she smiled and grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the line.
"Tell him what you feel Jason and I know you feel bad because I can feel it" she said and he nodded and she gave him a smile.
"I'll stay with you if that helps" she said and he nodded.
"Yeah thanks" he said and she nodded.
