Chapter 2: Billith, Destruction, & Sexual Innuendos
The elevator doors closed and Tara allowed her eyes to graze over Pam's body like animal over it's prey. Nora stood in-between the two of them now, and Tara regretted the distance.
"Jason, she's gonna be ok." Jessica trailed off, hoping for any sign of warmth from her former lover.
"We don't have time for this, they'll be waiting for us up there" Nora stated simply.
Tara couldn't care less what Nora didn't think there was time for, she needed to let Pam know of her intentions.
"You better not go and get yourself killed ya' here" Tara slurred seductively as she bit her lip in the direction of her maker.
"Cause you and I got a date, and it's been a long time coming" she finished while cocking her gun.
Pam wasn't sure what turned her on more, Tara informing her of their impending date, or watching her progeny cock that gun like she was willing to set the world ablaze in her name.
"If that's not an impetus to survive," Pam drawled while cocking her own gun- "I don't know what is," and the old vampire couldn't help but beam a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon at her progeny.
Sensing the reckless passion between the two vampires, Nora stood up to give Tara an "o'rly you think now's the best time bitch?" look, before handing her 3 stakes to reload her pack with. Rebelliously, Tara looked past Nora to give Pam one last lusty stare before breaking her gaze to pack Nora's weapons.
As Pam watched Tara pack weapons for the dark haired vampire, she wondered for a moment who she was. Mostly due to the fact that the vampire had temporarily robbed her of Tara's attention.
Jessica who was crouched down assisting Nora with reloading, suddenly had a chill run down her spine. Had she not been remembering Jason's cold words at that very moment I could never love a vampire she might have realized there was something seriously wrong with Sookie's brother. As Jessica peered up at Jason, she noticed just how fidgety he was. He was gritting his teeth with his fists clenched, and Jessica wondered what was on his mind.
Jason, still reeling from Sookie's decision to stay back with Eric, was just muttering nonsensically to himself.
"You ok Jason?" Jessica asked, genuinely concerned.
Jason turned and glared momentarily at all the vamps, as he slowly pivoted from right to left, but he never spoke a word.
Noting the look of disgust on Jason's face, particularly as he stared at Tara, Pam winced and made a mental note to keep an extra eye on Jason from then on.

The doors to the elevator opened, and Jason was the first to exit followed by Nora, Tara, Pam, and then Jessica.
As they exited, an Authority guard appeared suddenly from around the corner. Thankfully, Jason quickly disposed of the vampire with a single round to the chest- much to Nora's surprise and Jessica's relief. As Jason and Nora led the charge up the corridor stairs, the Stackhouse brother continued to mutter under his breath.
"I'm coming for you Warlow" Jason huffed; making those his first intelligible words for last five minutes.
"Warlow? What do you know of Warlow" Nora cut in suddenly, her voice indicating both fear and curiosity at Jason's mention of the ancient name.
Jason remained frozen in his expression, as he glared at Nora. He began to raise his gun to the vampire when he heard Tara cry out.
"Oh god" Tara exhaled, her voice laced with panic.
"What? What's wrong" Pam asked anxiously, as Nora whipped around to witness Tara's answer.
"I..I don't know," Tara stammered "but Eric and Sookie- something's wrong."
Because Tara had tasted Sookie's blood, she was able to feel her friend's emotions. This was the first time Tara had experienced anything like it, but the severe pang of fear she now felt deep within in her chest, could not be ignored. She had to help her friend, and Eric was family.
"We gotta go back" Tara finished.
Nora shot Tara a knowing look, and turned to descend the stairs in favor of the maintenance steps to her left that led back to the Authority lobby.
"I'll take the stairs" Nora breathed out.
"Hold up, I'm comin' too" Jason shouted to Nora, as she started to make his way down the stairs.
"You'll just end up getting yourself killed" Nora snapped back.
"I'm going to save my brother and his fairy. The last thing I need to worry about is some human getting in the way" she finished dryly.
With that Nora looked to Tara who simply nodded, before she vamp sped away towards Eric.
"Fuck!" Jason exclaimed as Tara stepped back inside the elevator, pulling her maker along with her.
"Brother?" Pam pondered curiously, but Tara tightening the grip on her her hand, served as a distraction. Pam hesitated slightly, but still allowed Tara to lead her. She arched her brow in fascination at her progeny, which Tara felt compelled to address.
"What?" Tara asked irreverently.
"I don't trust anyone else to protect you, besides the vampire we're about to try and save" she finished plainly, before her maker could answer.
Goddammit Tara, Pam mused, as she felt her arousal pooling between her legs.
"Motherfucker" she let slip aloud, as she watched Tara grin at her before turning to Jessica and Jason to throw them a few extra rounds of ammunition from the duffle bag.
"Make sure the perimeter's safe for when we get back" Tara instructed, while observing the noticeably desolate expression on Jessica's face.
"And Jess, stay alive ok" she added, with a wink in the red head's direction.
Jessica smiled and found comfort in their newfound friendship, even if it did feel like there was in iceberg between her and Jason.
"You too Jason" Tara exhaled, audibly annoyed with her childhood crush.
Tara then pressed the elevator button to close the doors.

Now alone, Tara allowed her senses to focus completely on Pam.
"You smell really, really good" Tara moaned into the air as she vamp sped closer to Pam, effectively pinning her against the elevator wall.
Tara was experiencing sensory overload. Between her adrenalin, Sookie's fear, Pam's breasts, and that scent now coming from in-between her maker's legs, Tara was beside herself. She wanted to kill and fuck at the same time, and could barely stand still.
"Chanel #5" Pam breathed out in response, trying to her damnedest to appear nonchalant.
"That's nice too, but that's not what I meant" Tara replied provocatively, as she slowly slid her right hand into the moist area between Pam's thighs.
"Fuck" Pam growled, as Tara's fingers grazed over her swollen cunt through the fabric of her pants.
"Yes please" Tara moaned promptly, before a sudden pang caused her to whip her head around to face the elevator doors.

"Oh no" Tara gasped, her fear ripping Pam from her oversexed stupor.
"Wha-" but before Pam could finish, the elevator doors opened just in time to reveal a blur, that was presumably Nora, and Eric scooping Sookie into his arms. Pam and her maker locked eyes just long enough for Pam to witness the full measure of Eric's acute expression of panic. A chill ran throughout Pam's entire being, sending a ripple effect through Tara as well.
A piercing sound filled the air and the ground began to shake as Eric's howl of "Run!" was left behind in the wake of his now blurred image. Instinctively Pam grabbed Tara's hand and zipped her out of the elevator, and down the nearest corridor. Tara now bewitched by her fear, allowed Pam to lead her effortlessly. As her maker whipped them around a corner, Pam stopped abruptly causing Tara to slam into her body from behind. Before Tara could speak, she saw what had stopped Pam cold in her tracks. It was Bill fucking Compton, naked at the other end, and covered in blood. Pam only waited long enough for Bill to open his mouth and show his now irrationally large fangs, before she spun around, scooped her progeny in her arms, and ran in the other direction.
As they ran, the piercing sound resumed, except this time they knew the cause. The sound intensified and reverberated throughout their bodies, creating a profound nausea as the two vampires fled for their lives. The ground continued to quake as the brick and mortar of the Authority began to crumble. While maker and progeny ran, the floor began to separate underneath their feet. A large boulder fell, clipping Tara's leg, which sent her into a savage whirl out of Pam's arms and flying into the air.
"Tara!" Pam screamed, her voice shrill, desperate, and thick with fathomless affection.
She fought violently against the debris, bloodying her hands to get to her progeny. As she approached Tara, the ground continued to disintegrate underneath the young vampire. Tara clung desperately to an unearthed pillar, as she stared terror-stricken into the eyes of her maker. But a final boulder knocked the vampire from her grip, sending her into the black abyss that formed below. Preemptively Pam leapt into the air in effort to catch Tara's hand, but she missed only to catch site of her progeny's face as it disappeared into the darkness.
"No!" Pam wailed, and the weight of her despair threatened to asphyxiate the elder vampire.
Pam's head began to swirl, and she felt as though she was hallucinating. She felt sick and weak, and collapsed among the rubble that was left. Pam cried out again and her heartache echoed throughout the ruin of the Authority. Her progeny was gone, and before Pam knew it, both she and the rubble she sat upon, surrendered to the black abyss as well.
