Chapter 3: The Heart of the Undead

Tara's P.O.V (mature content)

As I held the redhead in my arms, her gut wrenching sobs racking my body I looked over at the unmoving body of Lilith. I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief to know that she was dead.

I felt her move in my arms as she looked up at me. Her violet eyes rimmed with red as she wiped her face with her hands. Smearing blood on them some more.

" You can let me go little one. Thank you." She mumbled.

I let go and got up reaching for her hand, she grabbed it and I yanked her up gently. I let go of her hand and went over to Pam and wrapped my arm around her waist and buried my head in her soft blonde curls. She reached around me and drew me to her hard.

Jessica ran over to the redhead and hugged her. The redhead looked shocked for a second before returning the embrace.

" I guess I do dare break your shit Pam." Kristin said to Pam over Jess's head. I felt Pam shake with laugher.

"Oh hunny, as long as you pay to get it fixed I might think of forgiving you."

"Really Pam. She just saved our lives and all you care about is your stupid club." I said looking at her in disgust.

"It is okay little one. She is in shock. Go and take her away from here. I will have this all fixed up in no time."The redhead gave me a pointed look.

I nodded and grabbed Pam's hand and drug her to the basement . The only thing that still seems to be in tack.

"Did she speak to you in your head again back there." Pam asked as she sat down on the last step drawing me to her.

"Yeah."

" Can I know what she said?"

"It was nothin bad babe."

"Way to leave a girl high and dry." Pam grumbled.

"Who said I was gonna leave you high and dry Missy Pam." I said leaning down and taking her earlobe in my mouth bitting softly.

She groaned and grabbed my ass," Don't start something you can't finish sweetness."

"Oh you will finish." I ran my hand into her hair locking at the nap of her neck yanking her head to the side as I nuzzled her neck. I felt my fangs threatening to make an appearance.

In a sudden movement Pam and us on the bed with her between my legs as she ground. Her hips into me. I felt my entrance get wet.( I would never say this out loud but I loved when Pam would get all dominate with me.)

She pulled my mouth to hers as she kissed me hard. I moaned into her mouth and that egged her one to shove her tongue into my mouth as our tongues fought for dominance.

"Submit to me Tara" she growled into my mouth before kissing down my neck.

I groaned in response. When she got to my shoulder she nipped just enough to draw blood. She licked it with long gentle strokes. I writhed under her. Her hand snaked up to the middles of my chest and she grabbed the material and ripped it along with my bra off in one fetal stroke. She leaned down and commenced to ravish my left nipple. The cool yet oddly warm inside of her mouth had my fangs popping out.

I felt her smile into me before she slide her hand down to my jeans hand hooked a finger under the waistband and with a flick of her wrist she had them undone and around my ankles. I felt her fangs slide out as she grazed them over my erect nipples. She reared up to place a wet and hungry kiss on my lips. Our mouths moved in perfect harmony, as tooth, fang,and tongue mashed against each other. I raised my hips trying to get some short of contact to ease the fire in my loins. I felt her grip my hip and force it back down. She in dug her nails warning me to stay down.

I felt her rake her teeth down my stomach as I grimaced as the pain raked through me but it just serviced to turn me on more. She grabbed my wrist and pinned them above my head. I felt her cool breath though the underwear as she gripped the delicate lace in her mouth before tearing them a side.

"Hey watch it those were one of my favorite pair." I glared at her half joking.

"They were in my way. I mean seriously Tara, you should know by now that your underwear always get ripped because they hinder me from enjoy my favorite pastime meal." She growled.

"Aww fuck you!" I said half hearted as I felt her tongue bush my clit.

"Later."

She gave no warning as she delved into my sopping folds. I screamed in pleasure and bucked my hips into her warm mouth. She let go of my hands and placed a firm hold on my hips pinning them down. She licked me from top to bottom and sucked on my clit as she grazed her teeth over my over hyped bundle of nerves. I reached down and grabbed handfuls of her hair and yanked. She purred and that sent tremors racking though my body.

She started to move at inhuman speed and and I knew I was close. She gave me one more thrust of her tongue before she bite my clit... Hard. I closed my eyes and I saw a fandango of colors as I came. I spasmed so hard my abs hurt when I finally came down. I took in multiple breaths I didn't need as Pam kissed her was up my stomach to my mouth. I growled and sucked on her tongue loving her taste mixed with mine it drove me crazy.

"Damn Pam, imma get you for that." I vowed drunkly.

"What did I do?" She said in mock hurt and surprise.

" You know damn well what you did Missy Pam." I said as I snuggled into her ample chest and breathed in her scent.

She wrapped her arms around me and drew me close.

"Go to sleep for now. We can have a round two later."

I uttered a small protest but I was too tired to carry out my threat at that moment.

Pam P.O.V

I woke up with a sudden jolt at the sound of hammering. I groan and rolled myself out from around Tara. She curled tighter into her self and mumbled about human food and milkshakes. I can't help but smile a bit. She looks so adorable when she sleeps. I could watch her for all eternity.

I jump at the sudden rush of love that I feel for this young vampire. It's been a century since I last felt this way for anybody.

Again I hear the hammering and in a flash I had changed clothes into a pin black skirt and black corset with some wickedly high hells and I flashed upstairs. I was not ready for what I saw, the bar had been fully restored and my alcohol as well Tru Blood. The tables had been places back with their proper chair arrangements. All the walls had been plastered up and the place had been swept and mopped.

I saw the redhead speeding around floating in the air around the hole she put in the ceiling fixing it. There were new light fixings on the floor under her. She had on a black wife beater and low slung cargo pants bulging with nails and other construction items. I don't know how long I stood there just watching her in awe and fascination.

"Good evening m'lady." Her voice drawled over to me, low and teasing.

I jumped a bit from her sudden speech, but I quickly composed myself and said impassively," Good evenin."

She hit a nail more time before coming back down landing on bare feet.(what is up with this woman and a pair of shoes?) she slung the hammer into one of the belt loops and cracked her knuckles gracefully before turning to me .

I gasped. Her eyes were dull and lifeless and at the corners black blood threatened to spill over. Her face was sunken in it looked like she had been starving for years to look like this.

"You like?" Gesturing around to the new place.

I nodded dumbly, still shocked at her sudden change in demeanor.

" Hey don't worry, this happens every once in a while. It will pass." She laughed without humor.

"When was the last time fed." I said vamp speeding over to her as she swayed on her feet.

"No! Stay away. When I get like this I am unpredictable." She snarled as she weakly tried to push me away.

"We need to get you feed. What do you like O-, AB+, B.?" I said rushing her over to a bar stool. " I got some Tru Blood."

I yanked down a bottle and tore of the cap and placed it in her hand. She growled yet placed it to her lips and drank a long swallow. She gurgled and throw it back up all over the table. I winced as some of it splashed on to my corset.

" I'm sorry, human blood and this god awful synthetic shit makes me sick. My body can't handle it." She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Then what do you drink to survive?" I said dryly, getting sick of this fast.

"You might not like the answer m'lady ."she said looking at me her gaze piercing me.

"God dammit Kristin!"slamming my hand on the bar,"just tell me so I can help you!"

She raised and eyebrow at my sudden change in demeanor.

"I drink vampires."she muttered her nails digging into her palms.

I swore a blue streak getting ready to take one for the team.

"Come here." I drawled.

In a flash she had me pinned against the wall her ample chest pressing into me. She wrapped her legs around my waist and nuzzled my neck. I gasped as I took in an unnecessary breath as I felt her extremely long sets of fangs pop at as she dragged them across my throat.

I felt a sudden rush through the bond as Tara woke up and in a flash was up the stairs as she cantered into the room and over to were we stood. She screamed as she flung herself at Kristin. In a flash Kristin has Tara by the throat getting off me and stalking Tara back against the bar.

"What the fuck is she doing?" Tara said as she tried to pry the older vampire off.

"Kristin." I said softly.

She growled as she leaned in and nuzzled Tara's neck.

"Kristin. Just breath and look at me." My voice gentle, calming and leveled. I knew this would escalate quickly.

I reached out and touched her shoulder, her body was shaking and she growled before looking at me. Her eyes where leaking and her pupils had dilated to the size of dinner plates. I stroked her face gently and her eyes fluttered closed.

"Just breath hunny." I said soothly.

We stood stood there for a few moments. She opened her eyes and they had shrunk down to size a little bit. Let let go of Tara and the young vampire rubbed her neck. The red head stumbled back tripping over her feet in her haste.

"I'm sorry...i so sorry I need to leave." She stammered .

" No you stay. I'm sure we can find somebody for you to fed from."

" how can you say that you saw what I almost did your progeny and what I almost did to you." She screamed at me.

I hugged Tara to me and said,"you are hungry. I can't blame you for that."

"Wait she was gonna feed on you until I stopped her?"Tara said , her voice annoyingly smug.

"Manners Tara." I growled.

"No the little one is right. I was going to drain you both."

"But you have to feed."

"You don't get it do you!?"she growled. Running her hands though her hair flustered."as soon as I bite you you will be forever mine. You couldn't be away from me for long periods of time without hurting. You would be bonded to me forever, for all eternity! You would be no more than a food whore for as long as you live. That's why I have always killed the vampires I have drank from. I haven't had a vampire living as my sole food supply over 100 million years.

"So if you had bite us you would have killed us so you didn't have to be stuck with us for all eternity?" Tara said angrily.

"You don't' want this life! It is terrible to be with me. With all my moods and my weird sayings and doings and my animalistic side that has been my only sole way of survival for to long. "

She was pacing pace and forth cursing in a bunch of languages some that I knew some I didn't.

"I will." A small voice said off to the left.

Everybody turned and gawked and turned to face Jessica. Kristin stopped mid-stride.

"I will."she repeated as she walked over to Kristin.

Kristin pushed her away and shook her head.

"I will not ask that of you my dear. You have so much to look for ahead in life. I couldn't fathom or bear it if you where to throw you youth away to be stuck my by side."

"You are not asking me. I am telling you that this is what I want."

"Your infatuation with me will pass. That I am sure."

"You saved my life Kristin. I owe you my life."

(Geez Jessica was stubborn.)

The redhead shook her head again and said,"No. You do not owe me anything but your happiness now go be happy. You will not be happy with me."

"Did you know she was gay?"Tara whispered in my ear as we watched this unbelievable scene unfold before us.

I shook my head.

"Please I beg you. Let me help you. You have helped yourself far to long. Let somebody take care of you. I love you. I. Love. You. Only you." Jessica said as she reached for the redhead.

The redhead turned away and her shoulders shook as she cried.

Jessica wrapped her arms around her and held her close. She whispered things in the redheads ear. Rocking back and forth as big red tears flowed from her big blue eyes, staining her cheeks.

I took this as my turn to leave. I grabbed Tara's hand and motioned to the door. She nodded and smiled back at them. The looked so beautiful together.

Love like this only comes once in a vampires life times and I was proud that this ancient vampire got to know what it feels like finally. Just like how I feel about my Tara.

I hugged her to me and lead her out the door leaving to two redheads.

Kristin's P.O.V

I smelled honey and Jasmine as she embraced my from behind. I leaned onto her soft front and heard her whispering loving things in my ear. My un beating heart swelled with hope that I had finally found my mate. The other half of me. I thought I was doomed to share the rest of eternity alone and without the thing I crave more than anything else. Love.

I turned around and looked into her deep blue eyes and I got lost in their depths. I grabbed her face and placed a butterfly kiss on her lips.

"Are you sure you want this?" I mummered into her neck.

"I have never wanted anything more in my life. I want you. All of you, all of your perfect imperfections. I want you at your best. I want you at your worse. I will never stop wanting you. I want your everything." She wrapped her hands around me and pulled me close.

"Let somebody take care of you."she said as she ran her hands up my back.

She was about an inch taller than me so I could rest my head comfortably on her shoulder.

"I am a monster." I said truthfully."I have lived a monsters life ever since I was created."

"Them you will be my monster." She giggled.

Your shaking."she said worriedly as she pulled from me and held me at arms length.

"I haven't feed in a while."

"Then feed from me my love."

" I can't you will be bonded to me forever."

"That's what I want."

I looked at her in doubt. But when I looked into her eyes all I saw was love and trust beaming from them. That look took all my resolve from me as I back her into the door and wrapped my hands around her neck, moving her hair out the way.

"Are you ready?"

"More than ready."

I let my fangs slip as I nuzzled her neck taking in her sweet unique aroma. I nipped at her skin and I felt her gasp. I sunk my teeth in gently she groaned. And I moaned as her blood starburst on to my tongue. I gulped greedily as the warm liquid slide down my parched throat. She gripped my head and pushed me deeper into her neck. We both were over come with pleasure as my blood and her blood fixed together. Making the bond of lovers as old as time itself.

When I felt her go limp I pulled back and licked the four puncture wounds with my tongue and the healed right up. I pulled back from her and looked into her face. Her eyes had glazed over and she was smiling dumbly.

"Better."she said softly.

"Yes my dear better. Are you okay."

"I feel wonderful."

I took her hand in mine and kissed it and pulled her along away from the wall. She gripped my hand and smiled down at me.

I was about to kiss her when I heard a scream coming from outside.

In a flash Jessica and I were out the door. On the floor writhing in pain was Tara and Pam. Eric was not far away with a silver net cased over him. Standing around was a a bunch of men in black garb and guns cocked at the three young vampires. I hissed and stepped forward.

"Don't move fanger or the redhead gets it." A man said behind me. I spun and saw that he had a gun to her head. I put my hands up and moved out into the clearing hoping to draw the guns away from Tara,Pam,and Eric.

"Okay. Okay what do you want."I said through gritted teeth

"Kristin don't!" Jessica screamed as she struggled to break free.

I shook my head and said ,"No." I saw the tears spilling from her eyes.

"What can I do you boys for?" Turning to the next man.

"We have orders from William Burrell to bring these in."

"Oh is that not a shame. You sure you just don't want me?" I smirked."I can be far more interesting than they can."

"No don't do it Kris!" Eric yelled. A man came up behind him and hit him with the butt of his gun. He groaned in pain as blood leaked from his hair.

"Trust me I am what you governor wants. I'm special." I smiled sweetly.

"We have orders you ginger bitch." The guy holding Jessica said."I am really looking forward to having fun with this one." As he groped her breast.

All my negotiation left me and I just snapped, I saw red and in a flash I had him around the throat I ripped his head off as blood spattered all over me.

Bullets whizzed through the air and pelted me. The sliver tearing into my flesh. I turned and grabbed the hammer i still had and flung it at the guardsman standing over Eric. It lounged in his eye nail pulled first. He fell to the ground without a sound.

I sped over as they continued to shoot at me.

"What they fuck are you." One made said as he aimed and shot me in the head. My head was flung back and I stopped.

"Oh you fuck with the face and you die!" Snarling I jumped on him and ripped him in half. Blood and guts flew all over me.

I spun and roundhouses the nearest guard and caught him in the ribs. I felt it collapse under the blow. He crumpled to the floor groans in pain. The other 5 guards had moved away and moved to circle me. I laughed in glee at the prospect of them trying to beat me.

"Come on boys at least give me something challenging." I mocked.

"What are you!" One said in fear.

"Oh me. I am death personified!" And with with a let my fangs drop and I lunged at his throat placing him I front of me as his comrade riddled him with bullets. I flung him aside and darted and grabbed the gun of the nearest one back handed it in his face.

I spun around and punched my hand through his chest and ripped out his heart. There were only two left and one shot at me again this time catching me in my tit. I hissed,

"Really?!"

He screamed at his man to come back but they guy was high tailing it out of site. I vamp sped and grabbed both of them.

His high pitched scream rang in my ears and I reveled in its sound. It was music to my ears. I dragged them to the clearing at threw them down in front of the vampires.

"Now be good boys and say you are sorry for causing such a fuss here at this fine at establishment." I said pressing my fingers into their skulls.

"We are sorry." The mumbled.

"I didn't quite catch that." I sneered digging my nails in deeper.

The both yowled and one said,"For Jesus Christ's sake we are sorry. Just don't kill us." He pleaded.

"To bad, I don't owe Jesus any favors. He was a dick!" I snarled and gripped there heads in my hands and squeezed until I heard their heads give away like over ripe watermelons.

I looked at my hands in disgust at all the brain matter and skull pieces. I shook my hands before running over to help Eric out of the net.

He hissed as I dragged them over his skin. When I finished I raced over to Pam and Tara. They had both been shot in the stomach. They lay gleaming with sweat and panting.

"This is gonna hurt little one."I said softly to Tara as I looked at the ugly wound. She just nodded her head and looked away and squeezed Pam's hand. Eric was there in a flash and was holding Pam's and Tara's hand whispering calming things.

I reached in with my fingers and dug out the bullet. She writhed in pain. I pulled it out and flung it over my shoulder. I reached over and looked at Pam.

"Are you ready?"

"Just get this fuckin thing out of me redhead!" She snarled.

I smiled,"Even in the throws of pain you still are bitchy m'lady."

"Just do it!"

I reached in hers where deeper than Tara's. A burg of cuss words come out her mouth that would make the hardest sailor proud. I found it and pulled it out. The skin started to knit back together immediately. I helped her and Tara up. Eric looked at me with tears in his eyes,

"Thank you."

I clasped his shoulder in a bloody hand and said,"Anytime buddy. Anytime."

Jessica came over to me and flung herself at me. Crashing her lips to mine. I held her there bitting her ip softly asking for entrance. She opened her mouth and I delved my tongue her mouths. My body was on fire every nerve in my body attuned to this gorgeous blonde that was in my arms.

I heard and annoying clearing of the throat and I broke away embarrassed by my actions. I turned and beamed at them, lacing my fingers with Jessica's.

" okay so let's clean is up and talk about this Governor business."

I walked pass them with Jessica next to me. I was bloody and a hot mess.

"Do you have a shower in here?" I asked glancing back at Pam.

"Yeah... Down the hall to the left." She stammered staring at me in shock.

"Thanks." I said opening the door and dragging Jessica in after to the shower room.
