This chapter was so much fun to write! I really hope that you all enjoy it as much as I did writing it. Would LOVE to get reviews on this chapter! Let me know what you think of everything!

Amelia and Aurora were definitely forces to be reckoned with. Violet had no idea what to think of them, they refused the blood that Warlow and Sookie had offered them to help them catch this "Kitsune", they had bowed down before Niall when they had gotten the chance to meet him, pledging to protect him-which seemed to shock the King of the Fae as well-they had also pledged to protect Andy and Adilynn asking for nothing in return. As if they believed it their duty to protect any fairy they came into contact with. For the last three nights that they'd been there, as soon as the sun went down, they were running through the house hugging everyone. It was very...odd behavior for vampires. Especially Amelia who was close to being twice Violet's age. Then they'd take off for hours at a time, only to return as if the whole night had been a waste of time. With all the fairies and vampires on lock down, it was kind of hard to even bait the Kitsune. Violet sure as Hell wasn't going to volunteer for something she'd already experienced. Warlow, Sookie, Tara, and Willa all had to go to work, Violet was still waiting, not really trusting that Amelia and Aurora were allies like everyone was starting to believe. It seemed to take just one person in their group to like another for everyone to just accept them. It was...welcoming, but Violet thought it was reckless.

"Wouldn't it be easier-" Tara was saying to Amelia as they walked in with Warlow, Sookie, Aurora, and Willa.

"No," Amelia didn't seem to be listening.

"We're not a Nest, Amelia," Willa said softly. "We're a family."

Violet could tell Amelia was having difficulty believing anything past what vampires believed about Nests. The vampire's main concern was the Kitsune and killing it. She refused to tell anyone how to kill it, all because it annoyed her and she wanted to kill it herself. "That's what most Nests claim."

"Most Nests can't walk in the sun," Warlow pointed out. "If you're going to kill this thing, you're going to have to become part of this family."

"You can even act as bait and let it reclaim the Light from you," Sookie pointed out.

"But if it's day, we're fucked," Aurora stated.

"Not if you run inside really fast," Tara smirked.

"I'll come help you," Warlow offered.

Violet found herself intrigued by the conversation, slightly disappointed that she'd missed out on the beginning of it. They really were a family, that only seemed to grow. It was as if Sookie and Warlow were just adopting vampires. Warlow didn't seem the type to even want to help vampires...his love for Sookie was definitely pure if he could put up with the very race that he hated most. Everything he was doing...it had to be for Sookie. Amelia had seemed to be thinking about it since Sookie said that she could act as bait.

"What would you want in return?" Amelia seemed uncertain.

"You two to help us get rid of this threat," Sookie said. "To help protect our home. Or town, from this monster."


Lafayette stepped out of the Grabit Kwick with his cigars, thankful that he'd gotten off work fast all because of Warlow. Fairy-Boy was quick with clean-up and one Hell of a cook, though he'd never admit it to the fairy-vampire. The first day of Bellefluer's being open had been a hit. Plus Arlene made it a regulation that Lafayette and Warlow have their own specials to go up every day.

"Wooka! Wooka!" some guy shouted from behind Lafayette in a high pitch. He whirled around to face the man who was coming up on him, startled by the sudden noise and the fact it came from a human. "Hey man...do you know where I can score some buds?" Lafayette wanted to laugh right then and there, unable to believe that he'd been pinpointed and that this guy was just straight-up asking him. Of course he had some on him, with the shit that went on, a nice blunt once in a while was just what the doctor ordered. At least it was a nice surprise. Not fucking supernatural shit like he'd been dealing with for way too long now. Lafayette studied the man. He was in his mid-twenties, he was tall and skinny, and from the looks of him, was definitely into herbal medicating himself as well. There was something about him that was just...soothing. His eyes widened suddenly and he laughed, "Fuck man, I'm sorry, I'm Tyler. I just drove down here from Montana, needed a change of pace."

"Too much excitement?" Lafayette couldn't help but smile.

Tyler shook his head, "Nah dude, not enough. Beautiful as fuck though, I just needed to change my surroundings."

"Bon Tempt can't get enough excitement," Lafayette sighed.

"Perfect," Tyler grinned.

"I've gots a goodie bag stashed at my friend Sookie house," Lafayette smiled. Hopefully Andy, Jason, or the fairies haven't found it.

"Well I could meet up with you later, man," Tyler shrugged pulling a pen and paper out of his pocket.

"How do you know I'm not undercover?" Lafayette frowned.

"Stoners can always find other stoners, dude," Tyler smirked as he handed Lafayette his number. Lafayette had gotten the phone number without even trying. I must be fucking fine today!

"I's be seeing you, Honey Child," Lafayette grinned.

Tyler started to laugh, "Late-I never caught your name."

"It's Lafayette," he held his hand out to shake Tyler's hand. "You plan on staying a while?"

"For a while," Tyler shrugged as he took Lafayette's offered hand. "I move around a lot. Haven't found a reason to stick to one place too long. Work is usually shitty, and shit never happens."

"Well, you definitely came to the right place," Lafayette shook his head. "I'll call you tomorrow after I pick it up."

"Sweet!" Tyler grinned ear to ear.

"To hold you over though..." Lafayette got a really good vibe off of this motherfucker. "You can come by my place and roast a blunt."

"Hells yeah!" Tyler's grin grew, making him resemble the Chestshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland. "Wooka! Wooka!"

"Woka? Woka?" Lafayette frowned.

Tyler's grin faded somewhat, but still remained on his face, "What do I look like? Fucking Fozzy Bear?" Lafayette could only laugh, this bitch was okay in his book already.


Not once since the day Warlow had spared her life had Amelia thought that she'd be in the sun again. Sure, Amelia and Aurora broke their own Law, to never feed on Fae blood, but it Warlow's blood gave them an advantage. All the vampires who had Bill's blood at some Death Camp-Amelia didn't really get any of what Jason, Bill, or anyone else who had spent time there was saying about it-were inside. Most were over at Bill's, but luckily for them, they had the oldest vampire. Amelia almost couldn't believe that she had agreed to this, but at least they knew what to expect from the Kitsune.

"Amelia," Aurora whispered as she looked up in the sky.

Amelia felt it too. Vampires. The Kitsune couldn't disguise itself as a vampire. Uninvited guests. With Adilynn and Niall being the only true Fae they had to worry about with vampires, a need to defend their territory came in. Amelia's fangs popped out and she launched herself into the air, feeling her Progeny follow close behind. She went higher than the vampires were flying, the second she looked over at Aurora and smiled, the two of them dropped down, Amelia gave a forceful kick downward, forcing the vampire down back to the earth below. Aurora followed her lead, barely noticeable in the split second delay of copying Amelia with the second vampire. Amelia landed gracefully, being sure to place her boot on the vampire's chest. He was strong, but remained still as Aurora landed on the second vampire, doing the same motion, placing the wooden part of her boot on the female vampire's chest. The vampire beneath Amelia's boot wasn't much younger than she was, maybe just a few hundred years younger, but those years gave her the advantage in strength. Part of her prayed he wouldn't make a wrong move, he was beautiful. She'd never really been into blondes but...any other hair color on the vampire would have been just wrong.

"Eric..." the blonde vampire beneath Aurora breathed out.

Amelia's eyes widened, Willa's Maker! The vampire who drained Warlow! For once, she didn't know what to do. She didn't have an answer for the question Aurora was asking her. Life or Death? She looked over at the vampire beneath her Progeny, And that must be Pam...Tara's Maker... Shit. Of course she'd run into this kind of complication after joining a "not" Nest. Amelia didn't give a fuck what anyone said, when more than just Maker and Progeny live together it was considered a Nest. No matter what kind of Nest it was, even the unique one she had allowed her Child and herself to join.

"Amelia! Aurora! Wait!" Jason called out as he ran out of the house and across the yard.

Warlow, Sookie, Willa, Tara, and Violet all rushed out after him with their vampire speed. There were so many different mixed reactions from everyone around Amelia. Tara and Willa looked somewhat happy to see their Makers, Violet looked shocked-as did Sookie, and Warlow...he looked as though he wanted to be the one to step on Eric's heart. Amelia wouldn't stop him if that's what he wanted to do, not that she would even be able to stop him. She smirked down at Eric, unable to help herself as he glared up at her. It was clear that he didn't like the fact that she'd overpowered him so easily. With some of the things she'd heard, at the ease she'd been able to take him down, she was disappointed with the younger vampire who was baring his fangs at her. After a long moment, Warlow turned around and went inside the house, leaving the desision up to Sookie. Amelia didn't know Eric, and if someone was going to decide his fate, it was going to have to be her.

"Let them go," Sookie sighed as she looked back at her retreating husband. They must have communicated in the fairy way.

The second Amelia took her boot off of Eric's chest, he stood up gracefully, towering above her. Shortly afterwards, Willa rushed into Eric's arms and hugged him adoringly, instantly making Amelia want in on the hugging. She shook her head. If looks could kill, the way Eric was glaring at her would have staked her right there. He took his attention off of Amelia and his eyes went to Sookie. The only other fairy-vampire in the world was glaring at him, as though she wasn't happy to see him. Of course she wasn't. He had drained her husband of most of his blood.

"Sookie," Eric's voice was cold. "You've...changed."

"I have," Sookie nodded, the coldness in her voice matched Eric's.

"So why let them live?" Amelia asked, gaining another nasty look from Eric... and his both of his Progeny.

"Because Warlow was right. We need their help. Amelia...how do you kill the Kitsune?" Sookie asked for the millionth time.

"Kitsune?" Eric frowned. "There's a Kitsune here?"

Amelia was impressed, "You've heard of them then?"

"Not much," Eric shook his head. "Only that death and destruction follow them wherever they go."

"This one goes after Fae Light," Amelia grinned at the vampire. She glanced over at Aurora, who was giving her an encouraging look. "We have to find it's original tail, chop it off, and only then can we kill it."

"It's 'original tail'?" Sookie frowned.

Aurora smirked, "It has nine tails. The more tails a Kitsune has, the stronger they are. The more power they have."

"They're born with one tail," Amelia sighed. "Even with their one tail, they can cause a lot of damage. This one...this one has been gathering Fae Light for so long, it's near to impossible to kill. They never show their true tail even in human form."

"What?" Sookie's frown grew.

"Weaker Kitsune can't hide their ears, but this one...it may be able to even hide it's tail," Amelia shook her head.

"And how do you know so much about this thing? And why are you all so concerned with it?" Eric asked.

"Trust," was all Amelia said.


Eric couldn't stop glaring at Amelia. Even after they were all calmed down and she started to run around giving out hugs to Jessica and the hippy vampire she'd been with at the Death Camp when he'd last seen them, Eric continued to glare. Pam commented on something about Amelia and her Progeny Aurora being high on Warlow's blood. As he watched, he realized that it was true. They were both higher than kites on a windy day. Sookie had gone inside shortly after inviting him and Pam back into her house. He didn't understand it. She was a vampire, yet the rules of entry still applied. He was pissed that Warlow would dare turn Sookie into a vampire, Eric had left Sookie's life so she could have a chance for a normal life. If he even thought for a second that she would have been made immortal, he would have been the one to turn her.

"I bet you look much better when you smile," Amelia said from beside him suddenly.

He found himself loathing the vampire more and more, "What do you want?"

"I want..." she trailed off as if lost in thought. She frowned up at him and shook her head, "I'm sorry..." Eric wasn't really in the mood for this. He was debating on how he was going to kill Warlow for taking Sookie. No one even seemed to mind that they were together. Lafayette didn't even act surprised to see all the vampires out in the yard as he pulled up and ran into the house. Something started to move on the outskirts of Sookie's property, then a small white fox jumped out and started to pounce around. Amelia let out a breath, "That little fucker!"

Aurora rushed into the house as Amelia went after the fox, that seemed to wrap Light around itself to teleport to the other side of the lawn, continuing to pounce happily. Eric frowned as he heard an angry growl come from Amelia. Warlow came out of the house, fangs already bared as he went after the Kitsune. They all seemed to be playing some kind of tag game with it, or at least that's what it looked like from where Eric was standing. Only the vampires playing were all pissed off. Then, Warlow stopped, which caused a ripple effect around him, Eric saw what they were doing. Let it come to them. Of course, the Kitsune started to pounce towards Warlow, in a strange way that resembled a dance. It was drawn to the one with the most Light...Warlow had the most Light. As it got close to Warlow, Eric saw the Light draining from the fairy-vampire.

"Start to move away. It's tasted your Light," Aurora whispered.

Warlow obeyed, the Kitsune wouldn't have it. It leapt forward and jumped up onto Warlow, allowing him to wrap his arms around it. The white fox struggled in Warlow's arms, then-for just a moment-it seemed to give up. Suddenly nine fluffy white tails exploded from the back end of the Kitsune, it's white fur stood straight up as it let out an angry growl, and it began to glow brightly as it shifted into a wolf-like form at least the size of a black bear.

Amelia rushed forward and ripped a tail off of the fox. With some kind of energy force, the Kitsune pushed Warlow back and growled at everyone around it as it's tail regrew. Amelia frowned, "Wrong tail."

Then, as quickly as it had come, it vanished. Eric couldn't believe anything that he had just seen. He had thought that taking a tail would weaken the Kitsune, not piss it off even more. Only God knew what was going on.


Alcide was determined to show his support for Arlene opening Bellefluer's after everything Sam had told him about her. He was trying to be a good friend for Sookie, it was hard...once he cleared his head after all the pack shit went down, all he could think about was Sookie and how he had just left her because he wanted to make the world a better place in his own way. In just a couple of weeks she had managed to get married and become a vampire. It was astonishing to Alcide, but Warlow could do one thing Alcide never could. Read her mind.

"I'll have whatever he's having," a petite woman with long, golden blonde hair sighed as she sat at the bar beside him.

"I need to see some I.D," Tara said in a pissed off tone. The woman nodded and pulled her license out of her purse. Tara's attitude changed once she saw the I.D, "I'll have that right up for you, Sora."

"Rough day?" Alcide asked.

Sora shook her head, "No, just need a drink to forget."

Alcide felt himself smile a bit, "I know how that goes."

"You too?" Sora smiled at Tara as she got handed her whiskey and Coke.

"In a way," Alcide admitted to himself more than to the young woman beside him.

"Well, here's to forgetting," Sora sighed, taking a large gulp of her drink.

"Wish I could fucking drink to that," Tara pouted, then shook her head.

"You alright?" Alcide asked.

Tara nodded, "I'll be fine. I just don't know what's going to happen now."

"Did you ever track down that fox?" Alcide asked.

"We've adopted two lovely vampires," Tara rolled her eyes. Just what Bon Tempt needed, more vampires. "And that fox is harder to catch than we thought."

"Who are these vampires?" Alcide asked, trying not to sound over-protective. Sookie didn't need him to protect her any longer. She had Warlow. It was almost as if he had lost another mate, only he never got a chance with Sookie. Eric took it away from him.

"They're at the table with Jason and Violet," Tara motioned to a table that was in Sookie's section. "Amelia is the one with long hair, and Aurora is the one with short hair."

Alcide glanced over at the vampires and studied them. Jason and his vampire girlfriend, Violet, were laughing over something that one of the vampires had said. When he turned back to Tara, he was frowning, "So they have nothing to do with the fox?"

"Not how we thought," Tara looked over at Sora quickly, reminding Alcide of the current company.

When he turned his attention back to Sora, she was finishing up her drink and paying Tara. Alcide opened his mouth to say something, but Sora was already walking out the door.


Jason really wished that he would have met vampires like Amelia and Aurora when he'd first came into contact with them. After getting past the shadiness, they were both...bubbly. And the two of them honestly wished that they were fairies. It was pretty humorous to listen to them talk about the things they'd do if they were Fae. Blasting people with their Light came up a lot, Amelia seemed to have some kind of grudge against Eric already, because she brought up blasting him with a Fae's Light, but at the same time she talked about how she just wanted everyone to get along. From what he gathered about Amelia, when someone annoyed her, she hated them. With one Hell of a passion. He wasn't sure if Eric had annoyed her, but it was pretty amusing watching the vampire fume.

"So what are you going to do once we kill this thing?" Jason asked.

Amelia and Aurora looked at each other, slightly confused. Amelia frowned, "What do you mean?"

"What are you going to do with yourselves?" Jason rephrased himself.

"We haven't thought that far ahead," Amelia stated.

Jason frowned, That far ahead? Does she doubt we'll be able to kill this thing? I'm sure we've faced way worse than this. He had faith that they would be able to kill it. All they had to do was get the right tail. That sounded easy enough. There were only nine of them. Though there was the complication of it's tails growing back. Jason held back on saying anything. There wasn't really any arguing with Amelia or Aurora. They usually didn't budge. It was only when they were shown trust that they showed any in return. Their way of life was confusing. They spoke in riddles...that was until they opened up to you...then there was no shutting them up. Amelia bitched more than Aurora did about the fox. It was clear she'd spent almost her entire life chasing this thing. It made Jason feel kind of sorry for her.

"Maybe enjoy the rest of eternity?" Aurora started to laugh after she said it.

"That would be nice," Amelia nodded.

"So you won't stay?" Jason asked.

Again, they looked at each other before Amelia replied, "Are you trying to get rid of us already?"

Violet elbowed Jason. He grimaced and shook his head, "No, I'm just wondering if you plan on staying...you know...make Bon Tempt your home."

"Planting some roots..." Amelia looked at her Progeny.

"Could be possible," Aurora shrugged.

Jason still wasn't sure how to understand either of them, but they were good to have around. If they made Bon Tempt their home, then the town would have two more vampires looking out for it. Not only Fae, but human as well just because of their Laws they believed all vampires should follow. The ones that Jason had heard were reasonable. They didn't kill humans or Fae-no matter how angry they got, they always kept to their word, they never fed off another vampire-except for Warlow because of the fox, and they kept out of vampire politics. Far out of it. For all they knew, there was no such thing as vampire politics. With Amelia's age, she would have been able to be a Sheriff or something, but she didn't want anything to do with that. All Jason knew when it came to the two unique vampires was that he didn't want to see them leave right away.

"It's plausible that we could stay," Amelia sighed. "Depends how things with the Kitsune go."


Warlow went straight to their room as soon as they walked through the door. Eric and his Progeny were in the living room. After what happened earlier that day, Warlow didn't want to talk to anyone but Sookie. Amelia seemed sympathetic towards the fact that he couldn't fight the Kitsune. That wasn't why whe was upset. He hadn't been able to defend the first place he'd remotely considered home in fifty-five hundred years. The Kitsune had used Fae Light against him to knock him back, he felt the energy of it. Lafayette couldn't talk about anything else their whole shift, just because he'd watched the whole fight from inside the house. Until they found a third cook, the two of them had to work together and work twice as hard when they were alone.

"You can't beat yourself up," Sookie closed the door to the bedroom as she walked into the room behind him. "Amelia isn't beating herself up."

"She didn't have the little shit in her arms," Warlow could see why Amelia found this thing annoying.

"She pulled one of it's tails off," Sookie sighed as she stepped towards him. Then she stopped and held out her wrist. Warlow grabbed it and placed several kisses on the tender flesh before he sank his fangs in. He closed his eyes, enjoying the honey sweet taste of her, reminding him that all he needed was her. Always her. When he saw a flash of her promising who he assumed to be Eric's Maker, that she'd try to take care of Eric, he had to walk away. He couldn't be the one to make her break her promise. How could she protect Eric from the oldest vampire alive? He forced such thoughts out of his mind. Before, he wouldn't have stopped himself from killing anyone who got in his way to get to his princess. To keep her safe, but she didn't want more death. She truly was a creature of Light, even with the looming Darkness still there. He never expected their feelings to become one. She was mad at Eric yes, but his hatred for the vampire caused his princess to not really care for him much though he had a feeling she still cared a little. Otherwise Amelia would have shoved her wooden heel into Eric's heart. "Don't even think about Eric or the Kitsune," Sookie's voice and demand pulled him from his thoughts.

"NO FUCKING WAY! TURN THAT SHIT OFF WE DON'T WANT TO GET BRAINWASHED!" Amelia shouted from downstairs. Fuck! Things like this seemed to happen every time he was finally alone with Sookie. It was always something. Warlow retracted his fangs.

He went to move, when Sookie grabbed him, "Whatever it is, I'm sure it can wait for us."

Warlow nodded right before his princess smiled up at him and brought her fangs out. Just as Sookie bit into his wrist, Amelia shouted again, "BAD NEWS! BAD NEWS! TURN IT OFF!"

Sookie didn't move away from him, he closed his eyes and tried to relax. Which was hard when everyone downstairs was shouting, "AMELIA NO!"

A crashing sound came from outside, Warlow adjusted himself and looked out the window. Sookie's flat-screen television set was obliterated in the yard. He shook his head as Amelia stomped angrily on the broken pieces around her, "Always something."

Sookie pulled away from him and looked at the scene in the yard below. At first, she found it slightly entertaining, then she wasn't too happy with the situation. Amelia made a face at the television then looked up at Warlow and Sookie, "I can replace that!"

Sookie had to turn away from the window to start laughing. She took Warlow's hand and went down the stairs. Everyone in the living room had a look of shock on their face. All save for Aurora. Warlow frowned at the only one who understood Amelia completely, "What happened?"

"They tore down the forest Amelia grew up in as a human to build a suburban living area," Aurora replied with concerned look at the door. "It's things like that which make us not watch those brainwashing machines."

It made more sense now. She had taken her anger out on the thing giving her the bad news. He was sure Amelia would replace the television. Aurora jumped up in a way that told him that her Maker was summoning her and went out the door. That was when Eric and Pam smiled at him. In the same amused voice he'd used the night he'd drained Warlow, Eric's smile widened, "Well that was awkward."


Everyone was asleep by the time Aurora and Amelia got back to Sookie's house. As much as Aurora and Amelia hated television because of it's brainwashing methods on humans-only vampires were allowed to do that-Amelia had been determined to replace the one she had destroyed. After saving money for so long, they had more than enough to spare. Even on a new television. Aurora wasn't surprised when her Maker couldn't choose which television to get. She had suggested getting an even better one, the only problem was getting it into the house. They'd been struggling with it for about an hour when Jason came down the stairs in his boxers, still half asleep. Aurora smiled at the human.

"Morning, Jason," Aurora grinned.

He shook his head and frowned at her, "What the fuck are the two of you doing?"

"Trying to get the television in here," Amelia called from the other side of the door.

"Have you tried setting it all the way down and pushing it in?" Jason suggested.

"Good idea!" Aurora smiled as Amelia did as what was suggested. They pushed the television into the living room and mounted it on the wall by where the old flat-screen had been.

"That thing is fucking huge!" Jason gawked.

"We thought so too," Amelia huffed out. "At least now Sookie will know that I won't be throwing this one outside."

"Just don't turn on that thing around Amelia when the news is on...it's always bad news anyways," Aurora warned. And don't bring up Eric...

Aurora wasn't stupid. Amelia didn't get annoyed with vampires that much, in over a thousand years, not once had her Maker been attracted to anyone. Aurora knew that Amelia had sex before, but it had been with her own Maker. Ever since then, Amelia just didn't seem interested in sex. She claimed it was a waste of time. Amelia had been more aggravated with her own self than anyone else. Aurora knew her Maker well. If allowed, Aurora wished to always remain at her Maker's side. Everyday was always new. They came up with new ideas how to better the world. To make it safer for humans and Fae.

"Oh my gosh!" Sookie breathed from the archway, her brown eyes were on the television.

"Right?!" Amelia smiled at it happily. There was a look in Aurora's Maker's eyes that kind of worried her. Perhaps she planned to buy another television just to smash. Aurora hoped not. It was hard enough to get Amelia to save money as it was. Two hundred years ago they had built up a fortune in twenty years. Once Aurora stopped saving, thinking that they'd be able to just...have fun with what they had saved, that was when Aurora learned that her Maker had money issues. She loved to spend money.

"Does this mean you'll be watching T.V?" Sookie asked with a small smile on her face.

"Fuck no," Amelia shook her head. "I got it for you all to enjoy. And to make up for destroying your other one."

Sookie shrugged, "It was technically Eric's."

Aurora watched as her Maker smiled, "That makes this a gift to you then."

Sookie gave Amelia a hug, and Aurora began to think about what Jason had asked earlier. If they managed to kill the Kitsune, Aurora had no idea what they would do. For the last three hundred and thirty-three years of Aurora's immortality, that was their mission in life. To rid the world of the number one threat against fairy-kind. There really was nothing else they had thought of. Aurora had loved the Fae race the moment she saw their happiness. They had feared her and ran off of course, but she loved them still. She understood their fear of vampires. A familiar smell came, Niall. He was back. Aurora seemed to sense him as well. As the old Fae came around the corner, Aurora and Amelia jumped out and did the motion fairies did with their hands when blasting someone.

"We blasted you!" Amelia laughed.

"The two of you are still here, I see," Niall backed away from them several steps.

"We became part of the Nest," Aurora nodded.

"I went to Fairy to speak to an Elder," Niall looked at Sookie.

Sookie frowned, "I thought...Maab closed all the portals to this dimension."

"Not to others though," Niall stated.

"And what did your Elder tell you?" Aurora wasn't even sure what an Elder was.

"I'm older than the Elder...Elders are Fae gifted with Sight, they are usually the ones that lead Fae Tribes if there isn't a fairy of royal blood within the clan," Niall sighed. "She said that what we're dealing with is-"

"A Kitsune," Amelia finished for him.

"Not just any Kitsune," Niall's eyes seemed to glare at her. "This certian Kitsune you're after, it comes from one of the First Tribes. It's at least a good two thousand years older than Warlow and myself. But there is a way to stop it. Only one way."

"We cut off it's real tail," Aurora looked at her now fuming Maker. She knew that Amelia was still ticked at the fact that she'd ripped off the wrong tail.

"What's a 'First Tribe'?" Jason asked.

"There's two versions of it that I know, do you want the Fae side of it or Lilith's?" Warlow said the woman's name with distaste as he joined the little living room party, Like Amelia when she said her Maker's name. When Jason only blinked at the oldest vampire in the world, Warlow sighed as he glanced over at Niall, "Our Tribe was the oldest of all the other Clans. We were the First Tribe of Fae. God had made every species into it's own Tribe. All save for one species. Vampire. Lilith believed he made her first and everyone was just there for her to eat."

"What a terrible belief," Amelia shivered.

"That's exactly what I thought. Imagine, she really was the first vampire," Warlow grinned. "And the bitch died twice."

Aurora resisted the urge to do a happy dance for Warlow. Lilith was his Maker. That must have been the reason he had killed Amelia's Maker. He had probably seen himself in the younger vampire and needed to set her free. Aurora hated guessing, but without fully knowing the truth, that's what everyone did anyways. At least all of this kept Amelia's mind off of what had happened earlier. To Aurora, that's all that mattered at the moment.


Tara sat quietly while Eric and Pam had a shouting match over leaving Sookie's house after Tara and Willa told them that they weren't leaving in front of Warlow and Sookie. She should have known that it would start an argument, but she had been prepared to live with Sookie and Warlow for much longer, as did Willa. They were just getting used to the way things were ran in the...Nest. She was comforted by the fact that no vampire under Sookie's roof killed humans-except for Eric and Pam who would even admit that they did if they thought it'd piss Warlow off. Tara did want to get them calmed down, but she didn't really have time for that. Willa and her had to be to Bellefluer's for their shift in thirty minutes. Warlow and Sookie had already left with Violet, trying to get Jason's girlfriend a job working for Arlene. For a woman who didn't really care for vampires, Arlene was sure hiring a lot to work for her. Part of Tara wondered if the red-head knew what had happened at the Death Camp, but there was a possibility that she had no idea. She was just hiring her friends and people she knew who could help make her restaurant better than Merlotte's.

"The two of you left us remember?" Tara finally stood and motioned for her lover to follow. Willa took Tara's hand immediately, causing their Makers to look at them. "We have to get to work, and the two of you clearly need more bonding time."

"The two of you..." Eric shook his head, cutting himself off as he looked over at Pam. "Just go already."

Tara knew her grandfather was pissed at the fact that Warlow had gotten Sookie to not only marry him, but became His forever. It was still taking Tara a moment to get used to, but Sookie was happy. Happier than she'd been in a very long time. Not wanting to give Eric a reason to keep them there, Tara pulled Willa out of the house. She couldn't understand why Warlow had allowed Eric and Pam into the house. If he had objected to it, Sookie would have made sure they found a different place... like her parents' house that Jason absolutely refused to use now. Tara and Willa rushed to Bellefluer's with their vampire speed so they didn't risk running into the Kitsune. There was no fucking way the two of them would be able to take the thing on. Not after the new information they'd been given about it being even older than Warlow was. She wasn't sure that Eric and Pam fully understood the threat this creature was.

As they walked into the restaurant, Tara doubted that any customers could come in given the fact that most of the employees were vampires. The racist fucks didn't know how to show support when it came to vampires anymore. Not with what had happened with the Authority bombing the True Blood factories. There were more humans than she had thought, most of them were friends of Arlene's just showing their support. She was surprised to see Aurora and Amelia there at a table with Niall, Andy, Adilynn, Rocky, Wade, Lisa, Colby, and baby Mikey. It was shocking that the two fairies in the group were so calm around the vampires who seemed to have made themselves honorary fairies or something.

"Wow, you two are early," Arlene smiled brightly as she came out of the office. "Go ahead and get to work."

"Shit," Tara mumbled bitterly, though she was happy to be away from Eric and Pam. As happy as she was that her Maker hadn't been gone that long, Tara was still pissed at the fact that Pam left her to begin with. She was sure that most Makers didn't leave their Progeny to watch after a younger vampire when that Progeny could barely control herself alone. She hadn't been alone though, she'd been with Sookie. And Warlow, Jason, Amelia, Aurora, Violet, Niall, Andy, Adilynn, and Willa. With as many friends that were vampires around her, she hadn't needed Pam. Now that her Maker was back...she was conflicted. She wanted to go back to the things were before with Pam, but she wanted to stay with Willa. A break from her Eric-loving Maker would do her some good anyways...

I really hope that you enjoyed the chapter! I named it "Cluster Fuck" for a reason :) Again, I would LOVE to know what you thought of it!
