Keely smiled softly as Eric entered and the other vampires in the room left without a word. She stood to leave and then gasped and would have blushed, when Godric caught her hand and then sat down in his chair, pulling her into his lap, making her dead heart jolt, butterflies explode and Eric smirk
"The human has been dispatched. I told him not to stop driving until he reached Mexican border" Eric said and Keely looked at her maker then Godric.
"I've arranged for an AB Negative human for you, extremely rare" Eric said and Godric nodded with a slight smile, making Keely and Eric share a look.
"Thank you...I'm not hungry" Godric replied and then looked at Keely, who gave a small and confused smile.
"You have to feed eventually" she said gently.
"I doubt the Fellowship had anything to offer" Eric added with a smirk which vanished along with Keely's smile when Godric didn't look at either one of them or smile at all.
"Why wouldn't you leave when we first came for you?" Eric asked.
"They didn't treat me badly, you'd be shocked at how ordinary most of them are" Godric said and Eric glared and Keely stood from Godric's lap making him look at her as she knelt beside Eric.
"They do nothing but fanned the flames of hatred for us" Eric growled slightly.
"Let's be honest, we are frightening even Keely can be frightening. After thousands of years, we haven't evolved, we've only grown more brutal. More predatory" Godric and then looked Keely and Eric.
"I don't see the danger in treated humans as equals. The Fellowship of the Sun arose because we never did so" Godric said with a calm voice that had a sad undertone to it.
"Is that why you wouldn't fight when they took you?" Keely asked and Godric looked at her with a small smile that still created butterflies.
"I could have killed every last one of them within minutes and what would that have proven?" he asked logically and she sighed and shared a sad look with Eric.
Eric frowned as he sat silently with Godric and Keely discussing the event of when Eric had been forced to create Keely, then heard someone arguing. He entered the living room and saw Sookie, Lorena and Bill all fighting and rolled his eyes.
"...fucking bitch! You've lost this one!" Sookie shouted and Eric watched Lorena slam Sookie into the table and then he saw Godric and Keely run in and Godric grabbed Lorena's throat, pulling her back from Sookie as Keely stood beside Eric.
"Retract your fangs, now" he ordered and Lorena's fangs vanished back into her gum.
"I neither know nor care who you are, but in this area and certainly in this nest, I am the authority. Do you understand" he asked coldly and Lorena nodded.
"Yes sheriff" Lorena forced herself to say and Godric let her go.
"This human has proven herself to be a courageous and a loyal friend to our kind and yet you treat her like a child does a dragonfly, pulling off wings for sport. No wonder they hate us" Godric said and Lorena looked at him as Keely stepped back, closer to Eric.
"She provoked me" she replied, angrily.
"And you provoke me. You disrupt the peace in my own home. I could snap you like a twig. But I haven't, why is that?" he asked and Lorena sighed slightly.
"It's...your choice" she replied softly.
"Indeed it is. You're an old vampire, I can tell. You've had hundreds of years to better yourself, yet you haven't. You're still a savage and I fear for all of us, Humans and Vampires if this behaviour persists" he warned and turned to Bill and Sookie.
"You" he said and Bill stepped forward.
"You seem to know her" Godric said and Bill looked at the ground, ashamed of his maker.
"Yes Sheriff" he admitted.
"Escort her from the nest" Godric said and Bill looked at him and then looked at Sookie.
"Go ahead, I'm fine" Sookie said and Bill nodded.
"I wish you out of my area before dawn" he said and she nodded and left with Bill.
"Godric are you..." Eric began and was stunned as his maker grabbed Keely's hand and dragged her off.
"Let them go" Eric said when Isabel went to follow. She looked at him and nodded and then left.
"Do you think that was nice?" Godric asked he paced in front of Keely as she watched him.
"No" she said and he sighed and then looked up sharply when she placed a hand on his arm.
"But it was necessary. I do not like Sookie, we're not exactly apple pie and cream if you catch my meaning but I wouldn't want to harm her...at least not yet" she said and he smiled.
"Godric, what's wrong? I can tell by Eric's attitude that this you, isn't the one he remembers" she said and he looked at her.
"I m sick and tired Keely" he said and she looked at him.
"I am 2000 years old. I have seen and done everything that I wish to. I have lived for too long and through so much pain and blood" he said and she looked at him.
"You are a vampire Godric, blood and pain is not exactly foreign to you but that doesn't mean that they can consume you" she said and he looked at her.
"Love and Happiness is part of being as well and just because we are no longer human, does not mean we can no longer experience anything other than anger, jealousy, pain and suffering. There are things in our world we can have still that make us happy. Like friends and family...and love" she said and then looked at him and saw his deep blue eyes.
"You have the most amazing blue eyes" she said softly and he smiled.
"I am a softie for brown eyes" he replied and she smiled and then the next thing either of them knew, they were kissing. Godric felt Keely pull away and looked at her and saw she was slightly dazed and biting her bottom lip and smiled.
"Come, I hear AB blood is your favourite. I do not mind sharing" he said and she smiled and he took her hand and led her into the room they had been in before.
"Excuse me everyone" a males voice said a while later and Godric and Keely entered the main room and Eric and Isabel walked over to stand either side of the younger looking vampires.
"If I could have your attention, my name is Luke McDonald. I'm a member of the Fellowship of the Sun" he said and some of the vampires in the room growled and hissed, including Eric and Keely.
"I have a message for you all from reverend Steve Newlin" he said and Keely gasped when he unzipped his jacket to show a bomb strapped to his chest covered with silver chains and wooden pellets. She gasped as she was pushed to the ground and felt a body cover hers. She waited for the dust to settle and then heard people scream and groan.
"Keely?" she heard Godric's voice ask and looked at him as he shielded her against the stone wall.
"Are you ok?" he asked and she nodded, still in shock.
"Shocked" she said and he nodded.
"Eric!" she screamed and looked around, trying her best to ignore the bloody remains of other vampires and the dead bodies of humans, as well as the odd arm or leg.
"I'm fine Vackra" she heard him groan and rushed towards him and saw him covering Sookie as a clean and unharmed Bill held her hand.
"...just stunned" Eric finished and then looked at her as she bent near his head.
"I'm ok" he said and then looked at Bill and glared.
"Get the humans" he said and then looked and saw three human men on the patio and growled. She and Bill Compton rushed out of the partly destroyed house and then she grabbed the man's leg as he tried to drive off in the van, with the door still open. The two other men got away and she looked at the man she had hold off as he screamed and cried.
"We didn't think he'd do it!" he shouted in hysterics and she growled as Bill growled from behind her.
"Too late" she hissed and then clicked out her fangs and bite him as he screamed. She pulled away and he began shaking.
"Oh...oh my...oh my god" he stuttered and she glared at him.
"You tell the cowards who led you, the cowards who sent children to do their killing that a vampire, especially a baby vampire, showed mercy where they had none" she growled and he nodded and she let him go. He scrambled to his feet and Bill helped her to her feet.
"Oh shit, Eric" she gasped and they ran back inside and she smirked when she saw Eric looking very smug as he rested his head on his arm, lying on the ground as a dumb Sookie sucked his chest. She heard Bill growled slightly and saw Eric's smug smirk grow.
"What are you doing?" Bill sneered. Keely watched Sookie spit out the silver bullet and shared an amused smirk with her maker.
"I sucked silver out of Eric's chest and saved his life, even though I really didn't want to" she replied with blood around her mouth making Bill growl and look away, Keely smirk and Eric wink at his child.
"She was superb" he said and Bill and Sookie glared at the cocky blonde male as Keely grinned.
"Eric was in no danger" Bill said and Eric looked at Sookie, who frowned at Bill.
"He...wait...what?" Sookie stuttered.
"A tiny falsehood" Eric said calmly.
"He was already healing. The bullets would have pushed themselves out. This way he's forced you to drink his blood" Keely explained, clearly amused.
"No! No! No!" Sookie shouted, in denial.
"You're connected, he'll be able to sense your emotions" Bill said through gritted teeth as Sookie glared at the smug blonde male.
"You big lying a-hole!" she shouted and Eric looked at Bill and Keely, amused.
"Bill, you're right I believe I can sense her emotions" he said and Sookie glared at him before she punched his chest and then ran into Bill's arms as Keely held back a giggle and Eric smirked, as he calmly lay on the ground.
"Sweet" Eric said mockingly.
"I'll never do anything for you again, monster" she snapped and Eric stood quickly as Keely growled slightly.
"It's not your fault" Bill soothed and Keely raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
"Think I'm gonna cry" she tormented and Bill and Sookie glared at her as Eric smirked.
"Everyone, please?" they heard Isabel call.
"Hey" they heard Jason's voice say.
"Ya'll listen up" he called loudly and everyone fell silent.
"They may come back, go to the Hotel Camilla, they've been alerted. Security is already in place" Godric called and Bill led Sookie away as Eric and Keely shared a look as the room emptied out and Godric looked around. They two stepped forwards and Godric looked at them, before looking around once more at the bodies, blood and damage. Godric silently walked out of the room and Eric gently placed his hand on her lower back and guided her from the house and they ran after Godric and the other vampires, to the Hotel.
