    Bill had been silently working in his office once again having had it fully restored to its pristine immaculate setting. All the tarnished furniture that had been destroyed in a fit of anger no longer were displayed in various parts of his office. Everything having been renewed to his particular tastes, and some of which he had gained of Kiara as she had encouraged him to update into the 'now'

    He had yet to receive any updates from the security detail team that he had placed around Kiara's home. Nothing of urgency had been reported, but he needed to know the truth, he needed to know if she was alive. He knew that she would not want to see him, but he had to know the truth.

    As he heard the voice of a vampire that he could remember from his time in the Vampire Camp; Willa Burrell. She was here, as he heard a knock on his office door, without raising his head as he placed all his documents into a folder and slid it into his drawer, a private matter that he wished to discuss with Jessica when she returned.

    "Enter!" he called out as he waited for the new young baby vampire to enter his office.

    Pushing the door open slowly Willa entered the office of the King of Louisiana, Bill Compton. So, this vampire is not only her savior but will apparently now be her judge and possibly executioner as well. Closing her eyes, she shook her head at the irony of the situation. Bill Compton had saved her life only to have to decide whether or not to take it now.

    Stepping in front if his desk and holding her hands behind her back and shifting her weight from one foot to the other, waiting to be addressed. This felt just like when she would get in trouble with her daddy when she was little and she'd get sent to his office for a lecture and punishment. Back then, punishment was no desert after dinner or she couldn't go outside and play anymore; Willa had a feeling that it was going to be much more complicated and harsh this time around.

    Bill made a quick appraisal of the young vampire that stood before him, the daughter of the man that he had killed in his blindness to eradicate the entire vampire race with the development of Hep V. Although Bill had not heard anymore of the virus that had taken the life of Eric Northman's sibling Nora Gainsborough, he had assumed that it had died along with Governor Burrell's hate when his life had ended.

    But it was now a matter than Bill would now look into, something else added onto his list.

    But he did wonder, a vampire to have taken the Governor's daughter and turn her into the very something that he despised more than possibly himself.

    "Miss Burrell, I do not believe that we have formally been introduced. I am Bill Compton, the King of the Louisiana" he introduced.

    Willa's brow raised slightly at Bill's rather polite nature. No yelling? No screaming about killing those people? She knew that what she had done to all of those people was wrong but the anger, that seemed to have disappeared at having gotten caught, had overtaken her.

    "Yes, I know who you are. I think all vampires know who you are after what you did for us back at my da...back at the camp. Thank you for that, by the way. It was a great sacrifice and I'm glad that you're doin OK."

    Deciding it was best to cut to the chase Willa gulped, trying to swallow her nervousness.

    "Mr. Compton, I know why I must be here. I've caused a lot of trouble lately. I just....I don't know how to stop it. I was so angry at....well.....everything."

    "It was a sacrifice that I would gladly do again to save the life of my progeny. It was a task that I was delivered by something far greater than any vampire alive today" he recalled of the one that he devoted his time, his life, his heart and soul to. Only for it to be nothing more than a falsehood.

    He stood from his chair as he walked around his desk towards where he was now keeping a store of various types of blood. Pulling out two glasses as he poured some simple Royal Blend into both as he picked up both glasses and headed back towards Willa, handing her a glass.

    "This blood is untainted, a private stock of bloods that I own....Please sit" he requested.

    As he walked back around his own desk as he sat back in his own seat.

    "So tell me Willa, who is your Maker? A Maker to leave their progeny alone and unattended is required to be present" he quizzed.

    Willa smiled sadly as Bill explained that he had taken the risk of dying to save his progeny from death. His devotion to his own young vampire was so strong. Willa could feel the anger beginning to bubble up at the thought that she would never know a devotion so deep again. Her father had loved her that completely but she had thrown it back in his face after he began his campaign of hate against the vampires.

    Sitting down just as Bill asked her about the identity of her maker and why he wasn't present, Willa shifted uncomfortable and took a sip of the glass of blood that had been handed to her. Pressing her lips together tightly, she forced back the tears that she felt threatening to spill onto her cheeks. She would not cry, not in front of Bill or anyonefor that matter. Sighing heavily, she finally forced the words out with a quivering voice.

    "My maker is Eric Northman. He's not here because he left and now he's dead."

    There. The words were out, it had been said out loud. The voice, that she knew was hers, sounded strange and hollow; devoid of all emotion. She felt her bottom lip begin to quiver slightly. Biting the inside of her lip, she looked up from the spot of the carpeting where she had focused her eyes, trying to see what sort of reaction would come.

    "My maker is Eric Northman. He's not here because he left and now he's dead"

    It took a moment for Bill to come to terms with what she had said, Eric Northman was dead, he had met the True Death. Bill could only summon up the conclusion that he had met the sun. As he took a sip of blood from his glass as he slid it onto his desk.

    "Well...I am sorry for your loss....He was a very unique vampire. Although I will say that I was not his biggest fan, I am sorry that you have to go through that. A young vampire such as yourself to not have the ability to learn from your Maker. It is not something that I would wish upon any vampire" he replied, clearing his throat.

    Eric Northman was dead.

    Did Sookie know of this?

    "And what of Pam? Where is she?" he questioned.

    Willa smiled sadly as Bill extended his condolences to her. She wasn't surprised that Bill wasn't his biggest fan. From the little that she had known about Eric before he left, and subsequently died, he was a vampire that didn't tolerate authority other than himself. She could easily see him and Bill butting heads quite a bit.

    "Yeah it fuckin sucks. I traded one father for another and now he's dead," Willa wasn't sure if it was OK to cuss in front of the King of Louisiana but right now, she really didn't care.

    Willa's eyes snapped back to the spot on the floor when Bill questioned her about Pam. She hated being the bearer of bad news. Pam was technically her sister and the loss hurt but not as much as did losing Eric.

    "Pam left to go after Eric. She's gone too. Tara and I both felt it when they...when they burned."

    Well this is not what he expected when he had summoned Willa to his office. But with both Eric and Pam now....Gone. There was two young vampires that were not without Makers to guide them. But he had his own progeny's to care for he could not take on another two.

    "Listen Willa, I am sorry that you no longer have your Maker to guide you, but that does not excuse you for doing what you did. Those were innocent people, I am the King of Louisiana, it is my duty to protect both human and vampires in my territory....And for your actions alone, you should be given the True Death" he replied.

    He had heard nothing of Tara Thornton, but he would have to keep an eye on her also. He could not allow vampires running loose as he was trying to rebuild territories with the humans.

    Willa knew that Bill was trying to walk that fine line between basic compassion and being the stern leader of their kind.  She should be given the True Death and if that was what must be done then so be it.  

    "....And for your actions alone, you should be given the True Death"

    Had she heard correctly?  Should?!  So he was not going to have her put to death?  Bill Compton is sparing her life once again?

    Looking up at Bill, confusion written all over her face and in her eyes, she searched Bill's eyes, for some kind of definite answer. Why was he not going to kill her?  She had given him every reason to do so and yet, he was giving her another chance at life?

    "As the King of Louisiana it is my duty to grant you the True Death....But under the circumstances, i can overlook this and allow you to live...You were lucky that the human authorities have no way of tracking you, but I can" he nodded knowingly.

    As he sat back further in his chair trying to think of a way around this, she was a young vampire and could not be allowed to be in this situation again otherwise he would have no choice. But he owed Eric Northman, as much as he hated to admit it.

    "Eric Northman was my Sheriff, and I as his King owe it to him to help you. If you do this again, i will have no option to grant you the True Death, and as you are probably well known around Louisiana, and until i can arrange something more permanent. You can have either of these two options, one; you shall remain here in my home along with myself, Jessica and Brianna. Two, you shall have a personal security detail that will report to me at all times. You will be under 24hour surveillance. The choice is yours Willa" he offered.

    Willa chuckled to herself slightly.  So it was Eric who was saving her now; Eric's service to Bill.  She wasn't quite sure what to make of the thought of Eric working for anyone but that was something to think about at a later time.  Now for the question at hand:

    "I understand and I appreciate you doing this for me; even if it is because you owe Eric this much.  I will stay here under one condition, that Tara have the option to come too and if she chooses not to, that I be allowed to see her as long as I have a security detail with me.  Please understand, Tara is the only family that I have left."  

    Willa wasn't sure if she was pushing her luck with Bill by making any sort of demands but Tara was family, her family.  The only reason that she was choosing to stay with Bill rather than have security with her was because she had already had a goon squad watching over her 24 hours a day and she truly preferred to not go back to that life.  She also knew that every baby vampire needed someone to watch out for them, that much was obvious.  As much as she knew Tara wanted to be able to help and teach her, she was going through her own issues right now with having lost Pam.

    "Very well, the invitation goes to Tara as well...I was not there for Jessica when she was first turned. I did not want the responsibility of being a Maker, but things changed...You shall have your own room. A supply of blood, we do have a human donor selection but that is under the view that you do not harm them" he instructed.

    He did not know how Jessica nor Brianna would take this, but it was his responsible as King of Louisiana to not allow Willa to run wild without a responsible Maker to guide her.

    "You may leave to discuss this with Tara, but i expect you back here in three days with your answer, and until then you shall have a security team with you. You shall not kill any more humans, and if I know Eric Northman he will have a stash of blood locked away in Fangtasia" he said draining his glass of blood.

    Willa almost kicked at the ground in mock disappointment when Bill mentioned her not being allowed to kill his human donors but, decided against it. She did, however, inwardly roll her eyes at the thought of having an entire security detail following her around at all times for three days. She understood why but still didn't like it. Rather than show it, however, she placed a slight smile upon her lips.

    "Thank you Bill. I will make sure to stop by Fangtasia. There was a great stock of blood where Tara and I were staying at but, being only there and that being the only food source, it's started to run low." Willa didn't want to mention that her voracious appetite for blood was the main reason that the blood supply was running low.

    Willa almost wanted to run and hug Bill for his help, as well as for putting an end to her reign of terror, but she wasn't quite sure if that was allowed. Deciding to risk it, she vampsped over to the other side of his desk and wrapped her arms around him in a quick embrace.

    "Thank you Bill for saving my life again."

    Stepping back from him, she turned to leave the office.

    "Should I just wait out here for the security detail? I'd like to get back as soon as possible."

    Bill was a little shocked at her outburst as she embraced him a hug, something that he was unsure of. Having neglected his humanity for quite sometime that he was still slowly regaining it back to where he used to be.

    "Your welcome" he smirked a little at unease.

    "Should I just wait out here for the security detail? I'd like to get back as soon as possible"

    "There is a car waiting outside to take you wherever you need to be...But I expect you back here in three days with your answer and if Tara would like to join then bring her with you" he said offering her a soft smile.

    He couldn't believe that he was doing this, but there was a part of him that knew this was the right thing to do. It is what she would want him to do.

    Nodding her agreement, Willa turned and walked out of Bill's office. It would definitely be a change from being out on her own, having someone to answer to all the time. She knew that Bill wasn't looking to replace Eric and, honestly, he never could even if he were to try. Either way, it was nice to have a bit more security than simply being holed up in some huge cabin in the woods. It wasn't the family that she thought she would have, or even wanted, that was for sure but it was definitely better than nothing.
