Sookie, Jessica, Eric, and Nora stood on Bill's porch to see Bill standing there.
“Stay right where you are,” Sookie said to him.
“I just want to talk,” he answered her.
She looked at him, as she stood next to Jessica, whom he had sired a while back. He was her Maker now and she was his childe. He knew he had done bad things in the present over the past week and tonight, but he wanted; needed to let them know who he was. That was why he had summoned Jessica to his place. He knew they would be with her and that would be the opportunity to tell them everything.
“Let me explain,” he said.
“Why should I?” Sookie replied.
“Because I'm not what or whoever you think I am. I'm still Bill Compton, but I'm also something entirely different inside. I don't know what. All I know is that I have these powers and I don't know why.”
Sookie was silent, as she looked at him. So were the others.
“We'll figure it out together,” Jessica said to him.
Sookie wanted to believe him, but knew what she had seen.
“I saw you die and then become something entirely different,” Sookie told him.
“I believe you, Sookie. Though, I don't have any recollection of that.”
“What do you remember?” she had to ask.
“I remember the past and I remember this week up to giving myself to Lilith. I remember you and Eric and then drinking Lilith's blood. Then everything is blank until I find myself outside the headquarters that's going up in flames. I came here and summoned Jessica here so we could all talk and I could tell you my part of this.”
“So you don't remember dying and then coming back as something different and then chasing us until we fled from that place,” Sookie said.
“That's correct.”
She was silent again, but he could see the fear in her of him dying down.
“I see everything more clearly now. I know I put that fear there, but I promise you that that man that did that is gone. Whatever I have done to frighten you so much, forgive me, Sookie. If you're willing, we can work this out together and be who we were before this mess began.”
Right now, for once in her life, Sookie wished that she could read his mind so she would know if he was telling the truth. Though, in her heart and mind, she knew the truth. It had to be Bill, because he would be the only one she knew that would say those things. He was always the vampire to step up to the plate to beg for forgiveness and work things out. That's why he was named as the King of Louisiana. He would always be worth it. She knew that she had to take the chance if this really was her Bill Compton, the vampire she had fallen in love with six years ago after she had saved him from humans that had been draining him of blood. It had been love at first sight and she would always and forever love him.
“Okay,” she finally said to him.
“Thank you, Sookie,” he replied, looking relieved that she was giving him a chance to prove himself to her.
Eric and Nora silently watched from a distance away behind Bill to see where things would go.
