True Blood

Shake and Fingerpop

"I'm so sorry, Vampire Bill. I know how this must look." Hoyt says getting up from the couch 

"Get out of my house." Bill growls 

"Bill, do not hurt him." I yell trying to grab his arm but he shakes me off dramatically 

"I swear, I wouldn't have let it go any further." Hoyt says holding up his hands 

"I said, get out of my house." Bill repeats 

"It's my house too." Jessica cries like a child and I sigh 

"Jessica, upstairs." Bill yells 

"Okay, let's all just try to calm down." I say throwing Hoyt his top 

"That's a really good idea." Hoyt says as he begins to put his top back on. 

"Are you gonna leave or am I gonna have to throw you out... through a window that is closed?" Bill growls 

"Bill, that is just rude." I say shaking my head 

"Meg, I've got this." he replies and I roll my eyes at the childish discussion

"I'm going. I'm going. I wasn't gonna do nothing." Hoyt says as he exits the door 

"It's not her that I'm protecting, son." Bill says and I see the tears form in Jessicas eyes or should I say blood form, as she watches as Hoyt leave. 

"I don't believe him for a minute." Hoyt says last second before Bill shuts the door behind him 

"We established there was to be no hunting in this house." Bill hisses turning back towards Jessica 

"Look, I know you feel like shit because you had to make me... and you should feel like shit. But guess what? I'd never even kissed a boy before that. Meeting Hoyt's the only good thing that's happened to me... since my whole new life started. No, I'm not ready for anything to happen too fast. I'd have been happy just to go on kissing him all night long. Now, is it my fault my fangs come out when I get turned on?" she asks and I choke on my laugh gaining a glare from Bill as she runs up the stairs giggling 

"I think I'm gonna like her." I say when she's up the stairs and I plant my ass at the bottom of them 

"Megs do not make the mistake of thinking you two can be girlfriends." he says and I sigh 

"Yeah, I get it. She's a vampire. Believe me, I learned my lesson about that. But, Bill, I think we should take her with us to Dallas. I think it would be good for you because I think, deep down...you don't like vampires,
even though you are one." I say and he sighs sitting down next to me 

"So?" he asks 

"Well, hating yourself is a bad thing." I reply 

"I am a vampire. I am supposed to be tormented." he says and I roll my eyes 

"You're not just a vampire. And Jessica doesn't have to be either. You can teach her how to walk that line between vampire and human." I say excitedly holding his hand and he looks over at me 

"Yes, because I have mastered that." he says sarcastically 

"Okay, so you can teach each other." I state 

"It's so different for her. When I was made, one had no choice... but to live completely outside the human world... as an outlaw... a hunter. Humans were prey and nothing else. I envy her." he says before he sighs "I'll need to call the airline to arrange for two travel coffins instead of just one." he says and I laugh 

"Isn't it exciting? Our first trip together. Oh, come on, Bill. I was almost killed last night. Again. At least give me this." I say and he smiles before he gives me a quick kiss. The next morning Tara comes over to my house 

"I still haven't moved into Gran's room, but you take mine... and when I get back, we'll celebrate properly. Until then, happy birthday." I say handing her my present and she unwraps it revealing the photo of myself, Sook and her as kids 

"Oh, Megs" she crys 

"I miss her so much." I sigh looking over at Gram who was also in the picture. Tara quickly pulls me into a hug

"So why'd y'all pick Dallas for your trip?" she asks and I sigh 

"Bill has some business there." I reply 

"Oh, hell, do those vampires wanna use your banshee shit again?" she asks and I shrug 

"I'll have Bill there to protect me." I state 

"Why are you even with this guy if he makes you do these things? The sex can't be that good." she says and I smirk 

"Oh, it's pretty good. And I love him. You can't just sit around saving your heart for some perfect idea of a man... who's never gonna come along. Life is too damn short. Besides, Bill's not making me do anything. I agreed to this to save your fool cousin, thank you very much." I say with a laugh 

"Lafayette?" she asks confused and I realise my mistake 

"He didn't tell you?" I ask concerned
