    What a night... Empty What a night...

    Kiara made her way to Jessica's room. She was bringing over another donor, not to mention some female creature comforts like magazines and some movies. She was slowly improving but the healing process was slow. It didn't help that she was confined to the mansion with Quinn still not coming over.

    She nodded to the guards and told them the woman behind her was approved. She then knocked on the door. "Jessica?" she asked as she peeked her head in. "Mind if I come in? I brought a donor" she said softly, the woman; a nice blonde lady, probably a college student judging by her age also peeked her head in.

    "Evenin'" said the girl who had a cheerful disposition to her.

    I was watching Titanic for the 50th time in three days and getting restless with staying here. I felt like I was dying, not from the pain but from the agony of not seeing Quinn and not leaving this God forsaken room. Sighing heavily I threw the remote and shattered a picture frame, then heard a knock followed by Kiara's voice. "Come in." I smelled a new scent and turned my head over my shoulder to see her bringing in a young donor. I was hungry but more frustrated. Ignoring the girl, I asked Kiara, "Has Quinn called, anything?"

    Kiara shook her head apologetically as she walked in with the donor. "No...I'm sorry. I can try and ring him again, it's just... well things have gotten real complicated" she said as she sat down.

    The young girl smiled and knelt by the bed, already offering her neck. Even though she looked young Kiara knew she was a good donor, real clean blood from just old fashioned clean living. The money she made as a donor she used to put herself through school.

    "Drink up Jess... you need it" she said as she set down near the bed some magazines and a nice stack of much more entertaining movies, the kind of movies that Bill would probably not approve of.

    I sighed and sat up. "What do you mean...complicated. Don't tell me...did he? I saw it all on the news, people like you...you know...revealing themselves. Did he...is he okay??" I was now in almost a panic. Her blood was so strong, so clean and smelled so divine. I leaned in and waited for Kiara to explain while I ate. Sinking my fangs into her neck, I closed my eyes and sucked hard to bring her sweet blood into my mouth. After a while I began to hear her heart slow, I waited until it was dangerously slow to stop, pulling away and nodding as she left the room slowly with the help of the guards. Licking my lips I looked up at Kiara and listened.

    Kiara shook her head "No... well I don't know but I doubt it. You have to realize that Quinn is a very rare animal. Theres only a tiny handful of tiger weres in the whole world. They've been hunted down due to their unnatural strength, even for a were. So secrecy is even more of an issue. I'm sure like with me, the people who need to know about him already know and he doesn't need to shift in public"

    She watched the donor be escorted out before she smiled. "I brought you a few things" she said, pointing to the night stand. "I'm sure you're bored in here" she addded.

    I nodded and knew she was right, Quinn was probably dealing with work. Oh great, work...right. I had just gotten a job with him and here I am already on sick leave. Sam knew my situation, he was there. I'd heard from Holly's Facebook (hey, it's the only way to socialize to the outside world stuck at Bill's) that Merlotte's had gotten hit with protesters and things weren't looking good. Poor Sam, if some of Quinn's human clients found out he was a tiger, he may lose business too. The majority of his clientele were vampires but I knew he wanted to keep all his clients not just some. I understood, I guess I just missed him and wished I could see him or talk to him. What if Bill told Quinn about Jason, was Jason dead?

    I turned my head to see the things she'd brought me on the night stand and smiled softly, keeping my eyes on the stack of movies as I swallowed and asked, "Is he dead? Jason..I mean."

    Kiara sighed. Poor Jess. If she had man issues she had two overzealous men who wanted blood. At least when Kiara had man issues she could handle them herself.

    "I can tell you Bill hasn't been around Jason, but I can't say for sure if Jason is alive or not. Considering Bill hasn't come to me reeking of satisfaction and blood lust I'd assume Jason is still very much alive"

    There was still the possibility Quinn might have...well, taken care of it and maybe that's why he was avoiding me. No, Quinn wouldn't do that. He...well, he probably would. I sighed and remembered waking a few days ago to his scent strong in my room. The guards had mentioned he visited while I was in my day sleep and secretly I was angry he didn't come at night. Was he hiding something? Was it about Jason. I shook my head and something caught my eye on Kiara's left ring finger. My eyes zoned in on the large rock on her hand and my eyes widened. "Is that...what is that? Are you?? Did you..." Looking up to meet her eyes I stared in a shocked and almost scared but happy way.

    Kiara blinked, confused at first before she realized Jess had focused on her rather large engagement ring. Since the staff never asked questions she wasn't used to the surprised look.

    "Oh... yeah I'm engaged to Bill" she said casually. Bill never said to keep it a secret from Jessica, not to mention this is a bit of payback for him keeping her locked up. Kiara knew Jessica would be just as safe with Quinn as with Bill, but of course, with those two they always had to play the alpha macho card.

    "En..Engaged!!" I was so happy for her, shocked a little but happy. The last woman Bill proposed to ended pretty badly. He was vamp napped and all which put a real damper on celebrating. Then of course his betrayal..well enough of the past, time for the present. "Kiara, I'm...I'm really happy for you guys. Both of you. Congrats. I mean I won't lie, I'm shocked but I see the way he looks at you and you're so good to him. He needs you in his life." I reached over and pulled her into a hug, tighter than I meant to not realizing my strength was coming back. "Oops, sorry about that. The blood is helping." I pulled back and smiled.

    She chuckled. Well it was a good thing Jessica wasn't being weird about the engagement.

    "Thanks.." she said, rubbing her arms once Jessica let her go. "And it's good the blood is helping. The sooner you heal the less reason Bill has to keep you here" she added as she sat back down.

    Now that she thought about it, it was very strange for Bill to force Jessica to stay. She wasn't as weak as with the initial days of the attack, but Bill wouldn't hear it if conversation steered towards Jessica going back and regaining her independence.

    "Jessica...I'm going to ask you something, and I hope you keep this between us girls.." she began as she leaned forward.

    "I think Bill is hiding something... something very bad, but I can't be sure, and I can't ask him. Is there any place in the mansion Bill has ever forbidden you for going into? or a place that you can't get into normally?"

    Nodding, she leaned in close to ask. My brows came together in thought about her question and wondered what brought it up. Memories of Nora saying that Bill was hiding something that could potentially turn him back into Lillith or Billith, a vial of blood. Of course I didn't believe her one bit since she and Bill didn't get along. I snapped my fingers and nodded. "He's never told me not to go anywhere, but I did find an odd door. One that didn't belong and I don't know where it led to. It was in the East wing, right across from the guest bedroom you always stayed in. It doesn't look like a door, but if you look closely it has an outline of a door. Unless, I'm just over imagining things. Do you think...do you think he's hiding something?" If she thought it too then maybe Nora might be telling the truth.

    She blinked. She was familiar with the wall but since she never had suspicions until now she never inspected it. However now she would be giving that wall a very thorough look.

    "Do you think...do you think he's hiding something?"

    Kiara sighed. She wasn't sure she could trust Jess. Anything Jess was told went straight to Quinn and Quinn would ruin everything with his preemptive strikes.

    "Jess... I suggest you don't think about it. What I asked you today should be forgotten. Under NO circumstances are you to cave and tell Quinn or Bill I asked you this you understand?" she asked sternly. Knowing Jessica she could cave if Quinn even smelled a secret and the gods knew Jessica could never keep a secret from Bill.

    "I'm not asking Jessica I'm telling you know. If there was ever a time to be strong it's now. Do.Not. ever mention this conversation again... ever. Not to Quinn, not to Bill, not even in your fancy internet blog. Not to a donor, not to Sam, not to anyone that works in Merlottes... no one. Because if you do, I will know... and believe me, you'll get a first hand taste at pissed off wolf, which will make whatever Quinn ha taught you in torture seem like sesame street"

    My eyes widened and all I could do was nod. Her eyes turned this bright yellow and I wondered what all the fuss was about. What was she looking for, or better yet what was she suspecting. "Kiara, I--I won't say anything. You have my word okay, just stop going all crazy wolf girl on me. But...whatever you find I think I have a right to know. Especially since I have a pretty good feeling I know what you're thinking. I remember the night we both almost died and I won't let that happen again. I swear, no one else will know about this conversation." I nodded sternly to let her know she could trust me and I would stick to my guns, under no circumstances would I tell a soul....not even John Quinn.

    Kiara leaned back, her eyes returning to their normal passive color. "I'm sorry Jess, but as of right now I can't tell you if I find anything. Unlike you I am mortal and die a lot easier. Not to mention I'm blood bonded to Bill so if I find anything or nothing chances are he'd know. I can't risk you being caught" She grinned. "If Bill doesn't kill me Quinn will..."

    I nodded and understood completely but I hated being out of the loop. I wanted to protect her, hell protect myself. If Bill went psycho again there was no telling what would happen. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'm a big girl. But you can't go in this all alone, you may need help. Let me help you...please?"

    She chuckled and shook her head "Oh trust me...I'm not alone in this" she said. She wouldn't mention she had Eric Northman in her corner on this situation, but Eric was strong, Jessica was not.

    She stood and stretched. "But I've bored you enough. If you want more stuff to amuse yourself with let me know...and before you ask yes I can get you the X rated things Bill doesn't like"

    I laughed and nodded. "Thanks, those movies look great. Should occupy me for a while, but I'll definitely text you if I decide I need anything....uh, else."

    I looked down and then back up at her as she stood. "Be careful okay. And congrats again...mom" I said with a laugh that made me wince a little at the strained muscle in my stomach.

    Kiara shuddered when Jessica called her mom, even as a joke. "Don't call me that Jess... makes me feel old." she said with a smile before leaving the room. However the smile vanished the moment she wasn't within Jessica's sight.

    Jessica had given her a good tip which she would work. At least she now had something to tell Eric in her usual report. She sure hope her emotions didn't translate too precisely to Bill.
