Who does she think she is? Nobody talks to me like that and gets away with it!

Pam was pacing the office of fangtasia, hand on hip thinking what she could do to put her progeny down a few notches and back in her place. She looked up at the clock as it chimed.

'It'll be dawn soon, where is that bitch' she thought to herself trying to kid herself that it was out of anger not worry as to why she was getting a sinking feeling in her stomach. Her mind flashed to earlier that evening.

'If you never fucking wanted me, then why keep me around?!' Tara hissed at her, unknowingly slashing Pam with her words of silver.

'Fucking beats me you selfish bitch! Fucking job, clothes, home and food and what do I get in return, fucking grief!' Pam retaliated.

'Release me then! If all I am to you is a pain in the ass, release me!' Tara retorted.

'I'm not keeping you here, you don't have to stay if you don't want to you selfish prick! Why don't you fuck off!' and with that Tara ran, the feeling of not being wanted not unknown to her, but this time it was different. Every other time she'd been kicked out from somewhere or someone, she always had somewhere to go. Not this time.

Eric had been wondering whether to knock on the office door for the last fifteen minutes when he heard a sharp intake of breath and heard Pam fall to the floor. He rushed in to see his progeny curled up, blood red tears coursing down her cheeks.

He walked over to her and sat next to her, he pulled her into his protective embrace. Pam made herself as small as possible and he made sure he surrounded her as she rocked and cried. Only when she stopped did he pull away slightly with a look of question on his face.

Never had he seen Pam in a state like this, and he'd been with her for more than a century, he knew she felt things intensely but not this badly.

'Pamela?' he asked softly.

She sniffed and looked up. 'I could feel her breaking. I felt it like it was me. She just smashed into a million pieces.'

He wiped the tears from her cheeks.

'You can have that effect on people, you may not know it but it's worse for the people that care about you most, Pamela.'

'You heard earlier, she doesn't want to be here.' Pam said, almost with conviction.

'Don't kid yourself Pamela. You know as well as I do those were just words. As were yours. I don't know what you're doing but if you don't sort this out soon, you may lose this girl forever if you haven't already' Eric told her sternly.

Pam's heart dropped. She didn't think, yes this was the worst fight they'd had and yes she did love her, she just didn't know how to deal with that feeling, any feelings really. That was a word she'd cut out long ago.

Eric feeling his progeny deflate at his words pulled her in again and kissed the top of her head.

'Where is she now Pamela, find her and make it better,' and with that he pulled them both to their feet and left the office.

Left Pam to wonder how she could possibly fix something that in her mind never worked and never would. She did know she couldn't live without Tara, and she also knew that it might be too late.
