Eric placed a plain, smart black dress on Keely's bed and watched her eyes flutter open.

"Evening Vackra" he said and she smiled softly.

"Hi" she said and he looked at her.

"Put that on and look nice and smart and then meet me in Godric and Isabel's suite" he said and she frowned and got up.

"Is everything ok? Godric, he isn't hurt is he?" she panicked and he smiled.

"No, he's ok. I am happy for you Keely" he said and she looked at him.

"Godric has been alone far too long, you are the perfect girl for him and better yet, you actually look like a couple. He could never be with another vampire since he always looked like their son but with you? You both just look like a normal teenage couple" he said and she smiled softly.

"I really like him Eric. He's smart and sweet and protective, he is the only guy apart from you and Patrick that makes me feel truly safe. I really like him" she said and he smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I know now hurry up and get dressed. There's a black ribbon on your dresser, you know how I like those cute little bows" he said and she smiled as he left her to change. She brushed her curly hair and smiled as she curled her hair, using the technique Lorena had shown her. She pulled it back into a ponytail and used the black silk ribbon to tie it up and smiled.

"Ok now I need shoes" she muttered and then heard a knock on her door.

"Miss Northman?" she heard a man ask and opened the door and saw a bell boy with a shoe box labelled Jimmy Choo, in his hand.

"Yes?" she asked and he smiled and handed her the box and walked away. She raised an eye brown and opened the box and gasped at the beautiful designer shoes. They were bold red with silver coloured heels that had diamonds on the heels. She put them on and smiled.

"They look wonderful" she heard Eric say and she smiled.

"Thanks, I like them" she said and he smiled.

"They aren't from me" he said and she frowned.

"If they aren't from you then who else would buy me shoes?" she frowned and he shrugged.

"I don't know but you have a call from a male named Patrick" he said and she gasped.

"Gimmie my phone" she said and he smirked and ran off, making her growl and chase him. She grinned as she tackled him to the ground and he rolled over, pinning her to the floor.

"Keely?" she heard Patrick call and took the phone out of her amused maker's hands.

"Hey Rick, is everything ok?" she asked.

"Dad's dead" he said and she gasped.

"What?" she gasped.

"He's dead. The cops found his body last night in the woods. Someone literally ripped him to pieces Kel" he said and she looked up and Eric got up and left the room, making her frown.

"Was there any marks on it?" she asked and heard him sigh.

"I don't believe I'm saying this but Kel the coroner said it had to be a vampire. Nothing else would be strong enough to literally pull him apart" he said.

"How long had it been there?" she asked softly.

"About a week" he said and she sighed.

"Do you think I had anything to do with it?" she asked and he gasped.

"Fuck no! None of us do, beside's I know it wasn't you since I know you're still in Dallas, I spoke to Jason last night and he told me all about the bomb and everything" he replied.

"Ok well I have to go, vampire meeting" she said.

"Ok, stay safe, I love you" he said and she smiled.

"I love you too and you have to be more careful than I do now" she said and heard him laugh as she hung up. She rushed to Godric and Isabel's suite and saw Eric standing with Godric.

"We need to talk" she said and he looked at her.

"You're mad at me" he said and she looked at him as Godric gave them a confused look.

"You think?" she asked and he sighed and let her drag him back to their room.

"What the hell did you do Eric" she demanded.

"What?" he asked and she growled.

"Do not act dumb with me Eric Northman. I know you had something to do with my father's death" she said and he looked at her.

"He's gone just like you wanted" he said and she gasped.

"I wanted him gone, out of my life and you gave that to me when you adopted me. I didn't want him dead, I just said that coz I was angry! Eric he may have been a bastard but he's my father!" she said loudly and he looked at her.

"He raped 6 other girls apart from you Keely. I didn't just do it for you. I did for all of them and their families. If they had been given the chance, they would have taken just like I did. Yes, I did it. I killed him and ripped him apart piece by piece. He deserved everything I did for his actions. I am not going to apologise to you Keely because I did nothing but save you completely from that asshole. I will not apologise, I will not feel sorry for him and I will not lie about it. I feel sorry for your mother and your brothers and the other families and of course you. I do not for one second feel even the slightest bit regretful for tearing that fucker to shreds" he said and she looked at him.

"But Eric he was my father! No matter what he did or how bad it was, in his own twisted way he loved me, he cared about me, he raised me. I can't act like I don't care. My mother is alone and has to raise children alone now and god knows what's going to happen since she can't really work in her condition and Patrick is already working three jobs and going to college" she said and then sighed and opened the door.

"Where are you going?" he demanded.

"Away from you" she replied and walked out, slamming the door.

Jessica sighed, awkwardly as she sat beside Hoyt as they had dinner with his mother.

"I never thought you'd be so pretty, Mrs. Fortenberry and I can't tell you how grateful I am that you came" she said as the woman, nodded, coldly.

"Even if you were twenty minutes late" Hoyt added and his mother just looked at him.

"I couldn't decide what to wear" she replied and Jessica nodded.

"Yeah, I know what that's like. Sure you try this on and then that on, then the black shoes or the red shoes or the..." she said and then faded when she saw the woman's look.

"Then there were people in the road. They wouldn't budge until I practically ran over them. I could have been killed" Mrs. Fortenberry said.

"Well them too huh" Jessica said and then opened her mouth to apologise.

"Let's get you some dinner mama" Hoyt said and she shook her head.

"I'm not hungry" she replied and Jessica sighed.

"You want some more sweet-tea?" he asked.

"I'm not thirsty" Mrs. Fortenberry replied and then looked at Jessica.

"Hoyt is a very, very, very good boy...mostly" she said and Jessica smiled softly and looked at a blushing Hoyt.

"You don't need to tell me that" she said and he smiled and looked back at her.

"You're as good as I am...better" he replied as she held onto his arm.

"No, no you are" she said, smiling.

"No you are" he replied and she smiled.

"I surely wish I could meet your people" Hoyt's mother interrupted and they looked at her.

"See what your families like" she said and Jessica smiled softly.

"Mama" Hoyt said and Jessica felt her smile fall slightly.

"Somebody made me and my best friend, vampires against our will, Mrs Fortenberry. The only family I have left is my best friend, who may as well be my sister and your wonderful son" she said and smiled gently at Hoyt.

"I'm sorry for you and your friend, that wasn't fair" Mrs. Fortenberry said softly.

"But Hoyt has a bright future ahead of him and by bright, I mean in the sun" she said with a dirty look and Jessica felt her temper rising.

"If you think I'm gonna let him wonder around, all hours of the night for the rest of his life with an orphan vampire and her friends, you got another thing coming" she said and Jessica clicked out her fangs with a hiss, making the woman pale and jump.

"Oh no" Hoyt muttered.

"I believe that's up to Hoyt" she hissed.

"Ya'll don't" Hoyt said but was ignored.

"Well I will fight for what's best for my boy" the older woman snapped.

"So will I and I could give him everything that a human could" Jessica hissed.

"Not hardly" the older woman sneered.

"Like what?" Jessica snapped.

"Babies" the woman smirked and Jessica felt her dead heart jolt painfully as her fangs retracted.

"Mama" Hoyt said softly, upset and disappointed as Jessica felt her eyes begin to tear with blood. She pushed at him gently and he got up and she ran off, pulling out her phone.

"Hello?" she heard Keely ask.

"I want Hoyt's mother's head" she snarled.

"What happened sweetie?" Keely replied.

"We're at Merlotte's and we started arguing and then we got into a fight and she remained me that I'm dead" she said.

"Come again?" Keely asked.

"She said the B word Keely, Baby. We can't have them now and she knows it. She was so smug and cocky about it" she cried.

"Oh Jess. Honey, I'm sorry. I wish I was there then I'd serve her to you for breakfast" Keely replied and Jessica couldn't help the small smile.

"She was so smug and cold about it. I mean I know I'm not the perfect girlfriend, especially for a human but to throw that in my face? And she calls us the evil ones" she said.

"Well Bill is here and so is Eric and Pam won't say anything. Kill her and save me some" she replied.

"I can't, I wish I could but its Hoyt's mother. He ain't gonna wonna be with me if he knows I had his mom for lunch and saved a pint of her for you" she said and Keely sighed.

"Right, that was stupid, sorry. Glamour her into being nice, Bill showed you how to do that right?" Keely asked.

"Yeah" Jessica said.

"Well there you go. Tell Hoyt you wonna talk to her alone and then glamour her into thinking you're the best thing since sliced bread. Then she'll love you and then you can be with Hoyt without his nasty ass mother getting in the way" Keely replied and Jessica sighed.

"I'll think about it" she said and then heard Hoyt shouting her name.

"Hoyt's calling me I'll talk to you soon. I miss you Keely" she said.

"I miss you too Jess. I'll see you in a few nights" she replied and Jessica hung up as Hoyt found her.

"I'm sorry about her, come on, I'll drive you home" he said and she nodded and followed him to his car.
