    A Moment I would Never Forget Empty A Moment I would Never Forget

    Post by Bill Compton Fri Jul 13, 2012 4:48 pm

    I was pacing around in my office, i had sent all staff away for the evening. Russell Edgington, a curse on my life. If only Eric had given him the True Death instead of letting him live, encased in a tomb of concrete, then we would all be safe, and Sookie would be safe.

    My only thought that were flowing through my mind were Jessica. She had been worried when we had both been searching my office for a spying device that alerted anyone too the location of Russell's tomb.

    She knew nothing about what was too come, and even if we had succeeded in ending Russell, there was still the possibility of a treason charge hanging above our heads.

    I had called my lawyer too have all the necessary documents drawn up, a will of sorts that entitled Jessica to all of my assets should i meet the True Death.

    I walked over towards my drinks cabinet and poured myself a glass of freshly stocked blood that my staff have stocked up for me on a nightly basis.

    I took a drink out of my glass, draining it empty. I poured myself another glass and walked across the room too my desk. I sat down and put the glass on the table.

    I lifted the phone from the hook and entered Jessica's number. The phone started too ring as i waited for her too answer. This needed too be done tonight.....or i would not have the strength too do it again.

    My phone vibrated and I blinked from my thoughts. I looked at the screen and it was Bill. I cleared my throat the best I could and answered. "Hello?" I tried to keep my voice level, but the things Hoyt had said to me...was he right? I replayed the events that had taken place at Fangtasia over and over dwelling on my choices, my thoughts and really....what my heart felt.

    ‎Jessica had answered on the second ring for which he was thankful. Her could tell there was something wrong with her, and he would ask her about it when she arrived. "Jessica....sweetheart. How are you?" He tried too keep his voice as calm as he could, and not too alert her to anything.

    ‎"I'm...um...I'm good. What's up? Still need my help with...you know, anything?" I remembered helping him look for bugs, and I was a little excited thinking we may be going on an adventure or something. Oh how cool that would be!

    I had never told Jessica about why we were searching for the bugs, i had merely told her that we couldn't be too careful with matters. And with the Fellowship Of The Sun increasing its members, we had too be very discreet.

    "Yes of course" I lied. "I need you too come by the house. I have a matter than i need too discuss with you sweetheart"

    I stood from the ground by the lake that was not far from Merlotte's parking area. I liked to come here to think. Immediately I thought the worse. "Yeah I will be there soon. Everything okay right?" I asked as I sped to my car and pulled my keys out. He said things were fine, just needed to talk. So I ended the call and slid into the driver seat.

    I was at the mansion in a matter of minutes, turning off the ignition and climbing out. I passed the guards in the front and gave a small nod. They opened the main doors for me and I headed in. Looking around for Bill seeing his office door closed I called out "Bill, I'm here! Where are you?"

    Jessica had ended the call, and would immediately sensed my hesitation too tell her over the phone. I drained my glass of blood in seconds as i waited for her return. I walked over to the drinks cabinet and took out another glass and pour myself another glass of blood and one for Jessica when she arrived. I took both glasses back too my desk, and placed it by the chair opposite my desk. I walked back around too my chair and sat down, i could feel Jessica approaching as i heard her call out my name. "Jessica, I am in my office"

    I heard him call out he was in his office. I opened the door and took in his stature and face. He looked...well I don't know. I couldn't really tell. I closed the door behind me and approached his desk slowly. What if Pam called him about the fight Tara and I had...and what had happened at Fangtasia. Oh no, he was disappointed in me and wanted to talk about it. Great. "H-hey Bill...you uh wanted to talk? What about?" I said with a sweet smile and took a seat, watching his movements.

    He took in the sight of Jessica as she entered his office. She was barely the vampire he had turned all that time ago. He watched as she took her seat, he had had a phone call of Pam hours ago re-guarding Jessica and her fight with Tara. I had promised i would have a talk with her, but i had no intentions of doing so. I was proud that she was able too stand up for herself. And that would ease some worry of his mind that he was burdened with.

    "Jessica.....I need to discuss something with you. And i need you to swear too me.....that you will let me finish before you speak........Please"

    He stared into her eyes, hoping that she would understand about what he had too say. He had all the paperwork in a folder in his desk, waiting.

    I swallowed and nodded once. "Yeah, of coarse I...I swear." I held up my hands to motion for him to go on and took a sip of the blood from the glass he had poured. If all else failed, I would just plead the fifth...if that was possible. I got comfortable in the chair and figured it would be a serious matter so I paid attention to what he had to say.

    I took a drink from my glass of blood and placed it back on the desk. "Jessica....As you know there is, in the vampire hierarchy Regents over kingdoms, such as King, Queens and Sheriffs. And above all of that is the Vampire Authority" I wanted to explain the Vampire Authority as best as I could, hoping that once Jessica knew about them, she would know too be careful in her future life.

    I sat the glass of warmed blood down and shifted in my seat. I nodded at his explanation. "Right, I remember you saying something about that..." Oh God, I was in trouble with the Vampire Authority...sweet Jesus what now. I would be staked? I tried not to show my nervousness but I doubt I succeeded. I continued to listen intently.

    I could feel her panic and now i could feel the dread that was beginning too settle into me now. I did not want too do this, but i had no choice. This would be best for Jessica to know the possibility of what could happen too me. "Jessica....Do you remember Russell Edgington?

    I sighed knowing that Jessica was smart enough to piece things together. "Jessica...the reason why is......Russell Edgington is alive......and he" He didn't want too finish the sentence, but he knew he had too. "Jessica....Russell is free and now i believe he wants too take revenge against Eric and I. The Authority......has issued the True Death for us both if we do not bring down Russell Edgington, and if even if we do.....we still have a treason edict on our heads" I stood from my desk and opened my jacket and lifted my shirt too show her the I-Stakes that a employee at the Authority had placed on myself and Eric.

    My eyes widened. Still....alive. Oh no. I continued to listen and the more he spoke, the paler and more sick I felt. I shook my head no that this couldn't be happening. This was a dream...a nightmare. He lifted his shirt to show some sort of weird looking cross device on his chest. The center was lighted with red. "Oh, Bill...no no no no no. You cannot die! You can't leave me alone like this!" I stood from the chair with crimson tears brimming my eyes. "No Bill, please say its not true!"

    I pulled my shirt back down, and walked around my desk to Jessica. I took her hands in mine and stared into her eyes, which were now crimson with tears. "It is true........I am sorry i did not tell you sooner sweetheart" If my heart could beat, my heart would be breaking. I pulled Jessica into a tight embrace.

    I wrapped my arms around him tight. I let the tears fall freely and hid my face in his shoulder. "Bill, if you die...I die too." I gripped his shirt not wanting to let go. I never knew the kind of bond a father and daughter could have...cos well...my daddy wasn't the easiest to get along with. But Bill..he was my maker, my friend, my...dad. I knew we had our ups and downs but I could not walk this earth for years and years...even decades without him. I would feel lost. "I won't let this happen....I won't let you leave me!"

    I let Jessica's tear fall and i pulled her closer too me. I hated myself for doing this to her. She was the closest thing too a daughter i have ever had. And i knew this would hurt her as it did me.

    "Jessica, i am afraid we may not have a choice. The Authority is someone that cannot be reason with"

    I took her face in my hands and i stared into her eyes.

    "I will not allow you too die with me Jessica.....After I am gone.....If I meet the True Death. I need you to go on living. You are the most precious thing in my life, and i need you too live. You are my old child, my only daughter that i have.......I need you to live after I am gone"

    I could feel my eyes begin to become heavy as i felt my own eyes crimson up with tears.

    The tears fell freely and I didn't care. I pulled myself back to him and held tight. "NO! Bill...I don't think I can do it...I'm not strong enough." I felt like my world was just crumbling apart. Even though I had a heart that no longer beat, it was shattering to bits right then and there. I couldn't stop the tears from falling, I may not be able to stop the Authority or Russell Edgington from killing my maker, but I know I could stop him from dying alone. "I'll always do as you wish, but I won't like doing it...and I can't see you die alone."

    This was breaking my heart, an un-beating heart i thought i no longer had. Was making itself known now. I could feel a sort of ache i had not felt in many years.

    "Jessica...you are the most strongest young vampire i have ever known. You will survive this...I know you will. I have faith in you sweetheart. I need you to do this....For me"

    I would have begged Jessica if i knew that would work, but i knew deep down inside she would do it, even if it hurt her, i had faith in my prodigy.

    I nodded, reluctantly. "As you....wish." I closed my eyes and looked up at him, blood stained face. "Please do what you can, to stay alive." I felt like running away, I felt...hell I don't know what I felt at this moment..I just felt, empty. I fell back into my chair and sighed. "For you...I will Try...but I'm not promising anything." I wiped my face and made a grossed out face at the blood on my hands. Yeah that never got old. I knew not what to say anymore as I stared at his shoes, thinking....of nothing..but of everything.A Moment I would Never Forget Images13

    I tried to smile at Jessica, but i found it almost impossible too do. "Thank you sweetheart. I will try my best too return to you" I watched at she took her seat once again. I walked around my desk towards the drawer that held the paperwork for Jessica that needed too be signed and faxed back to my lawyer tonight.

    "I wanted to discuss something with you"

    I opened the drawer and took out the folder and closed my drawer again. I walked back around my desk and sat on the edge.

    "If i do meet the True Death.......In this file is something i need you too sign......Its my will Jessica......If i meet the True Death, everything i own, this house, vehicles, bank accounts in several countries. Will be passed down to you in the event of my death"

    I was finally picking up the pieces, my tears had ceased and then he brought up his will. I bit my lip hard to will them suckers not to fall again. I had to be strong for him. Who knew a vampire could feel a lump in their throat when they wanted to cry. I sat there just looking at him and then the folder. I nodded once, making sure to hold my lips in a tight line so I wouldn't cry again. I couldn't speak, just nod. He handed me a pen and I reluctantly took it. I looked at the papers and the urge to cry became more pronounced. I shook my head. "Bill, are you sure this is necessary. You may come out of this fine...so let's just um save this for tomorrow or next week...or never." I looked at the floor knowing I was being childish. I picked up my head and sighed again. "Fine...Let's do it." He gave a small smile and pointed to where I needed to sign. I signed the papers and he called in Kiara, his new day person to sign as a witness. I looked her up and down and by her scent, she appeared to be were.

    As Kiara had taken the forms from Jessica too be faxed too my lawyer too be processed as quickly as possible. I knew how much this was hurting her as it hurt me. I stared into her eyes knowing that this was for the best.

    "Jessica.....In all my 100 plus years as a vampire, you are the one thing i shall never regret. You have been the light in my life. You are my most greatest achievement, and i think i done well. You are my friend, my daughter.....and i will always always love you. Never forget that"

    I could feel myself begin to tear up again as i watched her, i could bear this no longer. I walked over too her and pulled her into a tight embrace and tried to fight back the tears that were threatening too fall once again.

    "I love you Jessica" I whispered into her ear.
