The next few hours past calmly, Godric catching up on his sheriff duty while Luna sat reading in the corner, sitting with her signature pose of having her legs crossed in an almost childish manner which seemed to suit her physical age perfectly.

It wasn't until her head snapped up suddenly that her book was forgotten and she had her childe's immediate attention, her head inclined slightly to the right as she seemed to be listening to something that even his sensitive hearing couldn't pick up on.

"What is it my belle?" he asked curiously, watching as her red stained lips pursed slightly. Whatever it was she didn't seem pleased with the disturbance at all.

"It seems as if we are having a guest" she stated as she rose from her seat, Godric instantly at her side as she did so. He knew better than to question, but as she gestured him to collect everyone of importance into the main room he had a feeling he knew what was about to come.

"Do you have any fucking idea of the PR mess you've made?" Nan Flanagan's harsh voice filtered into the room causing Sookie to flinch from her position on the couch next to Bill, her eyes widening when she took note of the sour faced vampire who strutted in with what looked to be two vampire bodyguards also dressed in black.

She shivered; fuck!

Everyone watched as she approached, the vampires already prepared for her entrance due to Luna, annoying Nan Flanagan slightly due to her entrance not being as dramatic as she would have liked. Not that she would comment, but she was in a pissy mood and wanted to take it out on the nearest people around her.

"And who has to fucking clean that shit up? Me. Not you. Me! I should drain every one of you bastards!" she spat, Eric resisting a growl at the tone she was taking with them all. He hated the witch, she was anything but respectful.

"Stan went to the church on his own. None of us knew anything about it" he stated, trying to placate her as well as shut her up. He couldn't help but look towards Luna though, only to find her stone faced as she stared at the vampire with a completely blank expression. He could see where his maker got it, and hoped that if he was going to be spending more time around his maker and his sire that he could improve his technique.

At least he could achieve one thing out of having to suffer in her company.

"Oh, really? Because everyone that met Stan over the last 300 years, knew that he had a kink about slaughtering humans, but you – his nest mates? His sheriff? – had no clue" Nan continued in mock disbelief, Godric feeling his emotions turn to guilt before Luna's hand squeezed his knee reassuringly.

"And how were we to know this time he meant it?" soothed Isabel, glaring at Stan who was sulking in the corner.

It was clear if the bomb had gone off that he would have been one of the first to die, it was one of the only reasons he kept out of it after Luna shot him a look clearly telling him he had no choice in the matter. So he reluctantly stayed quiet, wishing he had slaughtered all the fucking humans when he had the chance.

"Not my problem" she snarled before looking in Godric's direction with an icy look "It's yours!"

"Don't speak to him like that" Eric growled, furious to how this bitch was talking to his maker. He was her elder, she should fucking respect him! Looking in Luna's direction he expected her to speak up but he frowned when he saw that her expression hadn't changed. He did not seem to pick up on how her grip on Godric's knee had tightened slightly with the woman's tone.

"Don't talk to me that way," she replied with a snap before a frown formed on her pale features. "Let's get to the point, how did they manage to abduct you?" she asked curiously, knowing the vampire was old and it must have taken a large amount of force to capture such an old vampire.

"They would have managed to have taken one of us sooner or later" Godric stated, trying to send Luna calm as he felt her anger rise. Her expression while gave nothing away, didn't mean she wasn't simmering with pure anger and rage on the inside. "I offered myself."

"Why?" Nan asked with pure disbelief, looking at him disapprovingly as she searched his face for any visible signs that he was in fact lying. She found none, not even she could read his soft and expressionless features.

"Why not?" he asked flatly, wanting to cringe at the emotions he was feeling from both his maker and his child.

"They wanted you to meet the sun and you were willing?" Nan asked with shock, she couldn't grasp onto the fact that a vampire would willingly do so.

At this the room was quiet, the silence almost deafening as they waited for him to speak.

"What do you think?" was his empty reply. At the time he had wished for the sun, but with Luna by his side he now knew his place was with her and he couldn't help but remember the years he had felt empty and hollow.

What the hell had he been thinking?

"I think you're out of your mind" she stated as if she was talking to a child, her tone patronising which only succeeded in pissing Luna off as the room seemed to suddenly begin to suffocate with power. Eric much like Godric noticed this, his eyes widening as his age made him able to pick up on the almost suffocating effect it had. He was pleased to note she wasn't taking it well either. "And then I hear about a traitor?" Nan continued. At this Isabel shunned back.

"Irrelevant" Godric stated, gaining a relieved look from Isabel who looked at her lap in shame and sorrow. "Only a rumour. I take full responsibility" he continued, knowing Luna wasn't going to like it. She didn't interrupt though, but he could tell it was taking a lot out of her not to do so.

"You bet you will" spoke Nan in a condescending manner, Luna temper flaring as she stiffened ever so slightly.

"You cold bitch" Eric spat, unknowingly gaining a little respect from Luna as he did so. He was beyond furious with the woman, how fucking dare she!

"Listen..." Nan directed to the whole room, Sookie finding herself more and more uncomfortable. "This is a national disaster and nobody at the top has any sympathy for any of you" Nan stated before looking towards Godric, not realising that her next comment would piss off Luna more than she realised. "Sheriff, you fucked up, you're fired!" she stated in a no-bullshit tone.

"I agree" Godric stated immediately, shocking everyone in the room. "Of course, Isabel should take over from me, she had no part in my disgrace."

"Godric, fight back" Isabel hissed, knowing that the only reason the Dallas area was doing so well was down to Godric's control of it. She didn't know what would happen if he resigned; she didn't want to have to find out.

"What are you saying? S-s-she's a bureaucrat, you don't have to take shit from her!" rushed Eric, not believing what he was hearing. He looked towards Luna, the power radiating off her was almost suffocating due to his age. Why wasn't she saying anything?

"You want to lose your area, Viking?" Nan smirked.

"Oh, you don't have that kind of power" Eric smirked, wanting nothing more than to stake the vampire in front of him. He could also see Sookie beginning to try and make a move to butt in; that was the last thing they fucking needed if she did.

"I'm on T.V. Try me" Nan smirked smugly, loving the power she thought she had over them all.

"I am to blame," tried Isabel. "I should have contained Stan the second Godric went missing" she continued with guilt, Luna sending her a small nod which significantly increased Isabel's confidence.

"Isabel" ordered Godric, his eyes flashing as he silenced her. He knew his maker would be pleased that Isabel was taking reasonability for her actions, but he did not want her to get into trouble for his actions alone. "I remove myself from all positions of authority."

"Works for me" spoke Nan uncaringly, foolishly thinking that she had even a say in the matter when Luna was present.

At this Sookie began to rise, glaring at Luna for not even commenting. Godric was her childe, so why the fuck wasn't she getting involved!

"Sookie! Sookie!" Bill hissed as he grabbed her arm in a bruising grip, not only did he not want her to be foolish enough to interrupt a vampire meeting, but glaring at Luna was just plain stupid.

"I owe him" she stated with conviction, standing up as she held her head high, preparing to get herself some serious brownie points. "Ms. Flanagan?" she spoke, gaining the vampires attention. "Godric rescued me from a really large rapist, who would have killed me too-"

"That's nice" Nan stated uncaringly, not really giving a shit.

"No listen-"

"Hang on!" Nan tried to cut her off, only for her to continue to talk.

"-then he rescued a whole lot of humans in that church, plus vampires and if you thinks it's a PR mess now, it could have been a hundred, a million times worse. You should thank him" she continued, wide eyed.

"For getting kidnapped?" spat Nan. "For attracting a suicide bomber? For a piss poor judgement? I think not!" she snarled, her comment finally being the breaking point for both Luna and Eric.

As Eric lunged Isabel held him back, but not before Luna was on her feet, Nan finally taking note of the vampire who's presence she had thought of as nothing.

"That is enough!" Luna snapped, her calm façade gone as she stared at the unwelcome vampire. "How dare you, come into his nest, and think you have any authority over it!" she continued, her tone causing everyone but Godric to flinch slightly. Eric couldn't help but smirk as he sat down, pleased that Nan was going to get her just deserts. This was what he had been waiting for.

"Now you wait one minute-" Nan started before getting cut off but an extremely pissed Luna.

"No! I will not wait just a minute!" she snarled, Godric making an attempt to stand only for her to shove him back in his seat roughly. At this Nans eyes widened, how easily the young looking girl managed to handle the 2,000 year old vampire. She swallowed.

"Luna-" Sookie started only for Bill to forcefully pull her down beside him, what the hell was she thinking?

"And you, you can for once shut it! You are a human, you have no right to speak here" Luna stated causing Sookie to flush in anger, but the girls harsh tone kept her mouth shut.

Luna's head snapped back in Nans direction, her eyes blazing as her muscles twitched to tear the vampire into shreds. "And you, I do not care if you believe yourself to be superior-" Luna started in a harsh tone before she was interrupted.

"I-"

"No you will listen. You do not come in here and insult my childe in front of me, you do not threaten him and think I will just sit by and watch" she snapped, an accent none of them believed she had coming through strong, making her words seem even harsher.

At the sudden fact that this vampire was Godric's sire Nan gulped, knowing she was in deep shit. She had gotten carried away and overran her mouth, and by looking at her two body guards it was clear that she was on her own.

"I-"

"Did your maker not teach you respect? I am your elder, as is he, and yet to treat us like dirt. Do you know how easy it would be to rip you apart, to bathe in your blood as if it were water?" Luna continued, her tone now flat as she stared at the vampire who suddenly wasn't looking so smug. Eric couldn't help but grin, this was priceless.

"The magister-"

"Is but a mere child" she said icily, cutting off Nans protest. "Now you will listen to me, I will only be saying this once. Godric will keep his position, as will Eric, and you will spin this to our advantage" she continued, Eric's smugness only increasing.

"But the suicide bomber-"

"Is dead, I ripped out his heart, do you wish for me to do the same thing to you?" Luna asked seriously, Nan gulping.

"That will be all" Nan quickly stated, trying to keep herself collected and failing miserably.

"That's it run-" Eric started only for Godric to cut him off, giving his childe a disapproving look.

"Eric. I hope we can put this behind us Ms. Flanagan" he stated, getting a reluctant nod in return before they fled the room leaving the nest over vampires. It was silent until Isabel commented, her mouth widening into a grin.

"Thank you Luna" she stated, getting a nod in return until her amber eyes focused on Sookie.

"You, what were you thinking?" she asked, her tone flat.

"I was trying to help!" Sookie protested, finding herself angered. Not only was this brat telling her what to do, but she embarrassed her in front of everyone. Bill quickly tried to calm her down, only to fail.

"Yet you made things worse. You cannot interfere in vampire affairs, especially acting in the way you did a few moments ago" Luna stated, Stan coming to stand next to Isabel as everyone watched carefully. While none of them wanted to admit it, Sookie didn't know how things worked and could have made matters a lot worse.

"I-"

"Enough" Luna sighed, pinching her nose in a strangely human gesture. "I have had enough for this evening. Eric while your emotions got in the way of your judgement, I am pleased Godric did not disappoint with changing you as his childe" she stated offhandedly, Eric finding himself gloating in pride at her comment as Godric smiled at his childe. With that she was gone, the tenseness slowly fading as everyone retired for the day.

It was an unspoken agreement that they would be trying to stay on Luna's good side from now on.

R.E.V.I.E.W.!
