For the Dead Travel Fast- Dracula

I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, like my husband's eyes are the green of the fields of Ireland his ancestors came from that there would be a day Bill would be gone. I just didn't know he would be gone so soon. I woke feeling a little uneasy and I could not put my finger on it. We had been home a week and we had managed to get our laundry done and we were settling in for the summer's adventures and though I was happy to be back in Louisiana and I felt pretty good about what we had done during the winter and I was relieved that Jessica was in trouble for learning magik, I felt in my heart there would be day when I would feel it break a little, that our southern gentleman would revert back to that alien blood soaked monster Eric had carried into the House to us nine months ago.

As I said, I woke feeling odd, like if I turned around something would be crouched in a corner and ready to pounce after having watched me sleep peacefully. I turned all around and looked and I was there, alone with Barrister in our bed in the House. I knew Eric and Nora were at his house in Shreveport and I knew Pam and Tara were at her house and Jessica was downstairs in her light tight room, sleeping the sleep of the dead. Bill was asleep with Renee in his room.

I got up and went to the bathroom and came out and slipped quietly out of the room and down the hall and down the stairs and that is when I saw them, the bright red foot prints leading from the light tight rooms of the Vampire sleeping quarters. I went down and under the stair case and opened the steel door that led to the corridor of small but comfortable rooms. I went to Bill's door and opened it carefully and peeped in. I could see Renee's form under the blankets and I went to the side where Bill usually lay. It was covered in sticky red Vampire blood. I went back to Renee and shook her gently. "What?" she said sleepily, jerking herself awake.

"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" she asked.
"Bill is gone," I said. "Slide out of the bed and look." She slid sleepily out of bed, her long red hair in sleep tangles and she rubbed her eyes like a little girl. She reached over and turned on the bed side table lamp and her eyes widened.
"What is all of this?" she asked.
"He reverted back, he reverted back to that red demon thing he was before," I said sadly. Renee slumped on the edge of the bed and put her face in her hands.
"I thought for sure he would not go back to being that thing," she said.
"Come on, we better take these sheets off the bed and get them in the laundry. Check and see if Minnie's quilt got spotted or smeared." We carefully took the quilt off the bed and looked it over and saw it was fine. We then took the sheets and pillow cases off the bed, and threw Bill's pillow away, it was ruined, and I wadded them into a pillow case and carried them out to the hall. "Go make us some coffee, I'll get mop and mop up his footprints." Renee nodded and grabbed her robe and went out of the room.

Bill had changed last summer. He was something else with Bill trapped inside him. I knew that for the Gospel truth. I knew Bill was still there, we just had to look for him and bring him back. Well, not us, but the other woman in his life, Sookie Stackhouse.

I had personally abjured the Source from my life. She operated the first world and she had done a dishonest number on the characters and I was mortified. I had more hope for the Connection, the creators of the summer's adventures, and then we have the third world where all of us were involved in the lives of our supernatural world. There was nothing we could do with the Summer, and nothing we could do with the first world of the source, but the third world was ours to shape.

Then, I conjured up the most powerful magik in my arsenal and I created the fourth world where wrongs were set to right and love was found and made equal and there were still adventures to be had.

But this was beyond us and we had to let things we hated happen and see things that we could not prevent. And this was one of them. I feared for all our friends in the Kingdom of Louisiana...A strange deranged prophet was about to become the king, pope and high executioner in the world of Vampire and it looked like humans were gonna have to choose up a side and I wanted very much to see Bill saved and everyone safe and the story to go on just for a while longer.

I finished mopping and put the sheets in the wash: Laundry Hint: Wash clothing with blood in cold with a good biologically based wash powder, like hospitals use, and a cup of bleach. Use pretreatment on the stain and let it soak before you actually run it through a cycle. Rewash if necessary but before you dry. Otherwise you have bloody sheets just they smell good.

I went to the computer and checked the email. There were already clues that this Warlow is the eldest Vampire yet and he was hot for the flesh and blood of Sookie Stackhouse and there was further word that Sookie would fall into bed once again with another love interest...a faerie this time...and really that is who she needs to hook up and quit messing with Bill and Eric and Alcide.

Alcide was now the packmaster and he had his job cut out for him. There were also suggestions that Nora may not be all that trust worthy, but Eric was just as horny for family as Bill so, I suspect this will be a real heart breaker for him. And what was gonna happen to Luna and Emma? I just didn't know.

Most of all, what was going to happen to Bill? vamper
