    With the sun blazing down on his back, wrapping him again in a sheath of warmth that he had once been denied as he was taken into the world of darkness, forced upon him by his own Maker Lorena. Everything had changed, with the blood of Warlow flowing through his veins, weakened by the severe blood loss, his vivid dream of Kiara still weighing heavily on his mind, he still remained troubled as always, nothing changing there. As he could still hear the jeers and the laughter of those vampires including his progeny Jessica as she reveled in the warmth of the sun.

    As he opened the doors to his once again home, soon to be filled with more vampires than he ever had, curious as to why Jason Stackhouse had become involved in the 'vampire' camp, but at this moment he did not care. He could not get the sirens out of his mind, not understanding what he meant? He had done everything that Lilith had asked of him. Severely weak from the blood loss he made his way silently into his office, where he once belonged.

    Leaving the others to enjoy themselves basking in the light of the sun.

    Jessica danced in the sunlight and laughed with the others, rejoicing in the spectacular gift Bill's blood had been. It had changed the lives of so many vampires, and saved them too. Many of them were years, decades, centuries older and hadn't seen the sun in forever. This gift was unlike any other, this was special and indescribable. She'd invited them all to Bill's mansion for a party to celebrate the occasion. They laughed and danced all the way back to Bon Temp. She could see Bill was still weakened by his large sacrifice. If James and Jessica hadn't given him blood, he would have died right then and there.

    She entered the mansion and held her arms out. "Welcome to our home, let's party! Wooh!"

    Her smile faded when she watched Bill sluggishly enter his study. She turned to look at James and said quietly, "I'll be back, I have to check on Bill."

    She quietly entered his office and said his name softly. "Bill...are you...okay?"

    Bill let his body slump into the nearest empty chair close to him, opposite his normal seating across the desk, but his body did not function to what him mind screamed at him to do. But at this moment he was not in the mood to fight with himself over the smallest thing as a seating place. With a heavy heart thrust upon him he gently closed his eyes, he could still smell her on his cool skin, as though her touch had left an indent on his flesh.

    But the call of the sirens claiming that his time on earth had come to an end still worried him profoundly, what had they meant? What did it mean? He didn't understand what was happening to him? Brought back to reality as he heard the door creak to his office open as he turned to see whom it was; Jessica - curious about his well-being.

    "I am well Jessica....My strength shall regenerate in time" he reassured her.

    She moved over to kneel in front of him and looked over him cautiously. Had he really had enough blood? She was worried about it, she couldn't lose him; He meant too much to her. Placing a gentle hand on his knee, she thought about her words before saying them.

    "Would you...I could give you more...if you need it?"

    Before he could answer, she popped her fangs out and bit into the veins of her wrist, offering it up to him.

    "Jessica...Thank you, but I......"

    Before he could finish his response, he watched Jessica tear into her wrist and watched as blood pooled on her wrist as she offered him her own blood. Gently shaking his head as he wrapped both his hands around her bleeding wrist as he willed for the gaping wound to heal quickly, more quickly than it normally would, not leaving a trace of blood on her wrist, as though it never happened.

    "I am...honored as to what you did Jessica, you saved my life. But I already took far more of your blood that I should, to take even more would weaken you. And right now we cannot allow ourselves to be caught defenseless" he nodded.

    He reached over and cupped her cheek in his hand.

    "You do not need to worry about me Jessica...Lilith will never let me go" he false reassured her.

    She understood his words but wanted desperately to make sure he was okay. She smiled and shook her head, her wounds healed already.

    "No, Bill, it's you I should thank. You were a hero...you saved them all, all of us. Your vision, you saved us. I don't know how I can ever thank you Bill. And...the sun, you gave us the sun."

    She beamed happily and placed both hands on each of his knees, pleading almost for him to understand the extent of his sacrifice.

    "Bill, you are...God."

    He watched thoroughly as Jessica propped herself into an almost praying position in front of him, her hands placed gently on his knees as he gazed at her listening to her call him a 'God', but he was no God, there was only one God as he was not him. All along the image of the sirens calling to him never left his mind.

    "I gave back to you what I took from you Jessica. This was a gift that I could never give to you, but now I can" he offered her a gentle smirk.

    Letting his body slump further into the chair as he relaxed for the first time in what seemed like days, months? Time had seemed to blend together.

    "You know I would do anything for you Jessica....Even if that cost me my own life...To see that you got to live" he recited.

    She smiled softly at his words and nodded. "Of course Bill, I know." She placed a hand on his cheek and heard the loud commotion of the other vampires who'd escaped Vamp Camp in the den and sighed. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"

    She hated to leave him, but she didn't want to leave strange vampires in their home either. He seemed relaxed, content even. But she knew deep down he was struggling with something and he wouldn't say what. Was it Kiara? She knew how he felt, she couldn't stop thinking about Quinn. Swallowing, she searched his eyes for some sort of reassurance.

    Bill could see the glint of hope, hope of a bright future in her eyes. A future with the sun sparkling in her once hollowed eyes. All of their past demeanor's was now forgotten, every argument triggered by his sudden and erratic devotion to Lilith had now been forgotten. Not wishing to damper this moment between them, together again as he heard the sound of something breaking, he zoned in and found that Jason Stackhouse had broken an expensive antique vase.

    "I will be fine...I just need to rest. I promise you, everything will be alright. No more surprises" he false smirked.

    He did not wish to let the what was weighing down on him to upset Jessica, not now. Not after everything that she had been through.

    Rest, he needed rest. She could understand that. She slowly let her hand fall and nodded. "Rest. I understand. I'll try to keep them all as quiet as I can. Summon me if you need? I'll come right away, I promise."

    The bond between them felt stronger, much stronger. Something inside of her body felt stronger as well. It must be his blood. She stood and rubbed her hands against her pants, noticing she was still in the jumpsuit they'd given her. She scowled and chuckled. "I better change first."

    He chuckled as he fully took in what she was wearing, a blue jump suit which reminded him of a time that he spent in Arizona in the 60's. It was a time that he could remember well, maybe one day he would tell Jessica of his time as a vampire fully, the unedited version.

    "100% Polyester, not a very good material" he joked "There is clothing upstairs for those whom wish to change" he smirked remembering that all the other vampires were in the exact same clothing.

    He sighed heavily as he tried to phrase his words correctly.

    "Your happy?" he asked.

    She giggled and nodded, then turned to head towards the door. His question made her pause and freeze in her tracks. Was she happy? Yes, overall she was. She just...missed someone. It angered her that she didn't know where he was, or if he was okay. Forcing a smile to her face, she looked over her shoulder and gave a small nod.

    "Of course I'm happy. Are you?"

    Satisfied with her answer, but afraid to answer her response. Was he happy? At one point in his life he had been happy, but now he was not so sure. Well about anything anymore. But he could sense that she wanted to enjoy the sun, bask in what he had taken away from her that night.

    "I will be....I will be soon" he smirked.

    Forcing himself from his chair as he stumbled a little on his feet as he made his way over towards Jessica, placing both his hands on her shoulders as he leaned down and gently kissed her cheek.

    "I will always be with you Jessica, my blood flows through your veins. No matter what happens now, we will always be one" he smirked "Go have fun, just be careful" he requested.

    She was hopeful that he was being truthful and that he would be happy again, normal. Maybe this sun thing was permanent...well, she hoped. It would be the best of both worlds. She smiled and watched him weakly move over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders and looking into her eyes. She listened and refrained from protesting that they would be separated, knowing it was possible. Anything was possible now and they were still at some kind of risk.

    "I know Bill, I promise I'll never forget. Whatever happens...I'll always look at you as the best father I ever had." She flew into his arms, gently, and hugged him tightly, but not too tight. "I love you, Bill."

    With that, she turned and left his study. The sounds of laughter, chatter and celebration filled her ears. "HEY! Whoever wants to borrow some clothes, follow me." She fought back her own tears and headed upstairs for a long shower and fresh clothes, oblivious to anyone following her because her thoughts were still on Bill....and Quinn.

    "I love you to Jessica" he replied as he watched her rush off to attend to the other vampires.

    Once along, alone again as he was assaulted by all his thoughts that he had been blocking out. His dream with Kiara, or was it another vision. He shook his head as he tried to push that thought to the back of his mind, but yet he couldn't get this inkling that something was not right. As he felt something pulse through him as he turned to see one of the siren's that he had seen at the camp.

    "What do you want?" he spat at her.

    With a moment's hesitation.

    "We have come for you Bill Compton"
