Desperately seeking daylight

Prologue

"Fangtasia" was working in full swing. Vampires and fangbangers were having fun: dancing, drinking, making-out. Ginger, "Fangtasia's" waitress, who was untouchable for other vampires, had got back to work and now was walking around the whole bar area with a tray full of drinks. She already was too skinny and only Pam was drinking from her, when there was nobody else more appealing. New dancer was on her platform, which stood in front of Sheriff's throne. But tonight it was empty. From that seat you could see the whole bar. Dance floor was in front, strip poles and comfortable seats in the right, bar and the tables with chairs in the left. In the back was corridor to Sheriff's office, staff room and supplies store. The corridor to the restrooms was near the entrance.

Pam, Sheriff's progeny and co-owner of "Fangtasia", was in her maker's office, cleaning bloody tears from her face, at the same time cursing Sookie Stackhouse. Telepathic barmaid, who apparently also was part fairy and lived in countryside. Pam really did hate her.

Everybody was busy in the bar and nobody saw the vampire outside it. She was not tall and her skinny body tricked not one but hundreds of people and supernaturals. Only her sharp features revealed that she wasn't a young girl, who was powerless to defend herself.

Even though she was ancient, not many vampires knew her. She wasn't dressed for vampire bar. She wore dark blue color v-neck jumpsuit and black open toe platform pumps, though she still looked short with them. She had golden necklace, golden watch, yellow gold earrings and her sword. She and her sword were like one and that betrayed her identity. Thalia and her sword were always together.

Every time a fangbanger passed her and sent her a seductive look, she looked at them with a look that could make you wet your pants. She was antisocial.

Finally, after Thalia examined the bar layout and found all the exits, she decided to get in. She had an important message for her friend. It was death or life question.

Thalia walked to the front door and eyed the guard. He was a young vampire, strongly built, tall, gray eyes and expressionless face. But when he eyed Thalia, he moved and let her in without second glance. Inside was lighted dimly, there were a lot of posters from movies about vampires, the music was loud and the smell was disgusting. She really didn't understood how Eric could live like that.

Without glancing at anyone, Thalia made her way trough the crowd, to Sheriff's office. Nobody tried to stop her or step in her way. She was determined to meet Eric and give him a message. This was the least she could do.

Without a knock, Thalia opened the door to Eric's office and stepped in. She was surprised when she saw a female vampire, cleaning blood from her face, and not Eric. She didn't show that, though.

Pam was surprised too. Nobody walked in Eric's office like that. Nobody was brave enough. And now this vampire stood straight in the middle of the room, looking like she owned this place. Everything about the female vampire vibrated danger and power. And when Pam noticed the sword at vampire's side, she understood who was that woman. There were a lot of legends about brutal, cruel, powerful and dangerous vampire. She was an ancient one and nobody was brave enough to piss her off.

But all those stories didn't stop Pam from eyeing the female vampire from head to toe.

"What do you want?" Pam asked in her usual bored and bitchy tone.

Thalia looked at the vampire in front of her. A child, exactly. Too confidants one, if she dared to talk like that to Thalia.

"I am looking for Sheriff." Thalia said in her icy tone, which normally scared many vampires.

"Well he is not here at the moment. So get out of my bar and come back later." Pam said and put her hands on her hips.

"As much as I know, this bar is Eric's." Thalia said, trying to control her anger.

"This doesn't change anything. Now, get out!" Pam hissed.

Thalia eyed the vampire again and when she saw a smirk on her face, Thalia lost it. In few seconds Pam was pushed to the wall and Thalia held her by neck with one hand. With other hand Thalia reached for the sword.

"I could kill you in less than a second and I wouldn't care who you are to Eric. But I have important message to him. It is life or death question. His life or death. So go, and fucking find him!" Thalia growled and then let go the female vampire.

Pam was worried now. Whatever happened to her and Eric was in the past. She still cared about her maker's life and would sacrifice herself if that would save him. So when Pam heard this woman talking about Eric's life or death, she knew that she had to do anything in her power.

"I'll try to find him." Pam nodded. Bitchy tone was gone now. The vampire in front of her nodded and took a step back. Pam searched trough hers and her maker's bond, but he had closed it. Pam rushed out of the bar, leaving the female vampire in the office, and turning to run towards Bon Temps. She had to pay a visit to that telepath, because it was the only place where Pam thought Eric could be.

Thalia was left alone in Eric's office. She had a suspicion that she might be too late. She took out her phone and dialed the number she knew perfectly.

"Hello, Thalia." Female voice said in the other end.

"I need your help. Will you help me?" Thalia asked.

"Yes."
