Sookie POV

It was close to nighttime and I hear the shutters open revealing a beautiful dark night. I made some breakfast for Jason and I. The basement door opens and I see Eric walk out.

"That smells really good."

When he finished, Tara and Jessica ran up using their speed. It kinda startled me. Then there was Jason who slammed the door, scaring me even more.

"Stop scaring me!"

"Sorry." They all murmured.

"Where's Pam?" I asked.

"She's somewhere in the house. I can feel her around."

I nod before fixing a plate for Jason. I heated up the true bloods that Eric had before giving it to them. They thanked me and I just nodded curtly.

Pam POV

I was sitting in the library where I would stay to clear my head. I would read these books until I felt calm. What happened yesterday hurt. I made my progeny hurt. I can still feel her in pain and how she cried until she fell asleep. It kills me but I couldn't say it. I wanted to but I just couldn't. How can I make this up to her? My knees were to my chest now and I laid on top of my arms that were on top of my knees. I wanted to see her but I can't. I cause her too much pain. I felt tears run down and I quickly wiped them away. I stood up and just leaned on the bookshelf.

"Talk to her."

I open my eyes and looked to where the voice came from. I knew who it was.

"Why does it matter to you?" I drawled.

"Pam, you are my progeny and she is yours. I know that you feel her hurting because I can feel yours. I can see how bad she is hurting and it's not in comparison to yours. She's a baby vamp and she has more pain in her than she should."

"I caused it anyway. I can't make things right. I don't know how."

He slowly walked over to me and put one hand on my cheek.

"You have taught her well like I taught you well. I want you to do what you think is right. You have to at least talk to her. I know you love her because I can feel how strong it is when you look at her. Last night, I could feel the passion and love that you felt for her. It's different from how you loved me. Take her for a walk and talk about it."

I groan and pushed myself off the bookshelf. I head out the door to where Tara was.

"Tara?"I asked.

No answer.

"Tara."

No answer.

"Stop being so damn stubborn and just answer!"

"I have nothing to say to you."

She didn't even look at me. I could feel myself get irritated.

"Don't make me command you."

Her hands pressed against her ear as she screamed, "No!"

"Get your ass outside now."

She stood up angrily, crossing her arms over her chest. She was mumbling something under her breath but I could hear it and she knew that. I rubbed my temples as she waited outside for me.

"What the fuck do you want, vampire Barbie." She hissed.

"Walk with me."

"No thanks."

I see her trying to walk back into the house. I sighed before saying the thing she despises.

"As your maker, I command you to walk with me."

She screamed but started to walk with me. I could feel her blood boiling.

"Fucking bitch." She murmured.

I rolled my eyes and we continued to walk.

"I know that I hurt you and I'm sorry. I can be a bitch a-"

"You are a bitch."

"Anyway, I can be a bitch and I will hurt your feelings. All those things that I said were true. I am falling in love with you but I can't. I love Eric an-"

She cuts me off, "Don't even think of saying anything. I can feel how you feel about Eric. I will never be him and I will never want to be him. I'm not going to be a cold hearted person such as himself. I appreciate what you did for me, I do. I want you to release me. I'm tired of being your fucking slave. I don't know what you feel but I know that I love you. So do me a favor and just release me. I don't want to hurt anymore than I do right now. I would rather be in Bon Temps than be here with you."

"I'm not going to release you darlin."

"Don't call me that. Just fucking release me damn it."

Her tone of voice changed and it startled me a bit. Knowing that I will regret this, I said the words she wanted to hear.

"As your maker, I release you."

I was choking back tears as I watched her walk away. When I followed her, she was hugging Sookie, who was crying.

"One thing Pam. I told you to do ONE thing." Eric yelled.

I ignored him and walked away. After Tara said her goodbye, she left. I curled up into a ball in an empty dark room and began to cry. I feel arms surround me and I knew that it was Eric. I lean into his chest and just cried.

Tara POV

As I left the house, I could feel the pain that Pam was in. I feel tears of blood roll down my face but I didn't care. Using my vampire speed, I went back to Bon Temps and stood at the doorstep of my cousin's house. I knocked on his door and I could hear his cussing as he got out of bed.

"Why in the hell you knocking on my door at such an hour?!"

His eyes widen when he saw my face. He pulled me into a hug and I smile, hugging him back.

"Where the fuck you been?"

"Saved someone then regretted it."

"Come in. You look fucked up."

I entered the house and he sat me on his couch.

"The only place you can sleep is my closet."

"I don't really care. I just really want to be here."

"Hey bitch, you ain't gonna forget to tell me all the fucked up shit that happened."

"Okay." I said, before watching him walk back to bed.

Looking at the time, I realized that it was almost dawn. I walked into Lafayette's room and went into his closet. Luckily, the floor was cleared. I laid there for awhile as I felt Pam's hurting emotion. As much as I wanted to see her, I couldn't. Not after making her release me. That hurt the most for Pam. I know it did because I saw the look in her eyes. The last thing before I went to sleep was having my mind occupied by my maker.
