True Blood

Delicate Truths of Lilies

Chapter 7

Pam was awakened by the sound of a blood curdling scream, when she set up, she saw Tara, gazing back at her with the same baffled expression. When they came upstairs Ginger had her back to them peering through the open entrance door. "Ginger!" Pam snapped, "What is going on?"

Ginger turned to look at Pam and Tara with her hand covering her mouth, "It's a dog."

Pam and Tara looked at each other, as Pam raised her eyebrow and walked forward, how could a single flee bitten mongrel cause such commotion? When she shoved Ginger out of the way she peered through the door. Lily lay on her knees stroking the blood matted fur of a white husky dog. The dog's heart had clearly been ripped from its chest, for it lay not far from the body. Pieces of it's fur and bone lay scattered around it. Heart shattering apologizes dispensed from Lily's trembling lips as she stroked the lifeless corpse and occasionally scratching it behind one year.

Lily looked up at Pam blood streaked on her face, "He's dead."

Who knew someone could get so distraught over a mutt, but the sight of it did something to Pam. Anger fueled within Pam, a lot more anger, then probably should have been warranted over the death of a mere mongrel; but the look on Lily's face triggered something primal within Pam. This bastard was going to pay.

When Tara wrapped her arms around Lily, whom instinctively flinched for a moment before throwing herself into Tara's arms. Anger worked within Pam relentlessly, mercilessly. She was going to crush that bastard's eternal life between her own fingers.

Tara was slightly surprised when Lily embraced her closely. Lily was not one for a whole lot of physical contact so for a second Tara was unsure if she should reciprocate the hug or if Lily would pull away. When Lily spoke shivers shot down Tara's spine, "Thank You."

Pam froze at what she was seeing, every primal panic bell was drumming within her being, "Eric!"

Lily's body moved sluggishly as if it was made of lead, as if she would collapse at any moment from the trembling movements. Pam was in front of Lily, within seconds, danger hinting at the edges of her voice, "Don't you do it! Do you understand me? Don't you fucking do it!"

Pam grasped Lily's small arms, " Are you fucking stupid? Don't you like it here? For God's sake, Eric where the fuck are you!?"

Lily smiled softly, yet sadly at Pam, as she reached into her pocket, while her free hand vanished into one of the pockets in her dress. After her closed fist, reemerged with something hidden within her palm, she gently placed it in Pam's open palm. When something cool and smooth touched the flesh of her palm Pam's eyes dropped Lily's gaze.

"Thank You, Pam." Lily said as she backed away slowly from the woman she didn't know to be her birth mother, or she would of done so much more for Pam than what she had.

"Master!" Lily's fractured trembling tone caused Pam's head to jerk up from what Lily had given her, "Can I come home yet, Master! I want to come home."

Pam slammed her body into Lily's and grasped her arm tightly, "What the fuck do you think you are doing!?"

"What the hell is going on!?" Eric demanded as he finally emerged into view.

"She called me." A voice cooed triumphantly. Eric clenched his jaw tightly as a growl escaped his lips, turning slowly he found a smug faced Ambrose smirking at him.

Pam held a tight grip onto Lily's arm, and firmly planted herself between them, "You are not taking her fucking anywhere!"

Ambrose sneered at Pam, "Mr. Northman, I suggest you teach your whore her place."

Pam bust before him and raised her arm to smack him, but Eric seized her arm, "I suggest you watch what you say about my Progey or I will let her tear you limb from limb."

Ambrose laughed, "I would like to see the bitch try! Harlot!"

Lily moved slowly, and stopped before him, he gave Pam a toothy devious grin, "Whore, why don't you show your friend here where, all whores belong."

Pam watched as her blood seethed beneath her flesh as Lily sank to the ground at his feet. When he raised his foot and kicked Lily over, Eric had Ambrose by the throat, "Do that again, and I will end you. No matter what the King or anyone else says."

Ambrose smiled at Eric, " I told you, Eric Northman, she would be with me soon enough." Ambrose jerked free and he yanked Lily up hard by the arm.

Ambrose pulled her close to him as he smiled at Pam, "Do not presume to think you have any privileges to her. Remember, my dear, you were the one who walked away."

"What's her name!" Tara demanded, moving closer to Pam, arms folded.

"Lily Pamela Tailor, don't assume you will be able to find a way to take her from me." He smiled at Pam as he continued, "I am not the one who abandoned her to die."

With that Ambrose and Lily vanished in a flash of vampire speed.

"Why the fuck did you stop me Eric!?" Pam demanded angrily.

"I am not going to allow you to do something that will get you killed just because you are thinking with your emotions Pamela!"

Pam growled and stormed away, fueled by her anger.

Tara watched slightly astonished, "We aren't just going to let him take her like that are we?"

Eric sighed, "Until we have proof, there isn't much we can do?"

"What more fucking proof do we need!?" Tara demanded angrily, "The poor girl has nightmares and the fact that she looks astonished every time we tell her she could go out whenever she wants, and the way she acts. Isn't that fucking proof enough!?"

"Sadly, no." Eric said, watching Pam disappear from behind the trees, "Keep an eye on her, will you Tara? Don't let her do anything stupid till I get back."

"Where the hell are you going?" Tara demanded folding her arms, truthfully Tara's heart hurts for Pam. But, if Lily was stupid enough to go back to her bastard of her maker, then why should Pam care so much? Pam was rather harsh on the poor girl at times any, you would think she didn't care.

"Hopefully, to get Pam, back her daughter." Eric said vanishing from view before Tara could ask for an explanation. What did he mean Lily was Pam's daughter? The realization dawned on Tara like a ton of lead filled bricks, suddenly everything made sense.

There you go guys, sorry it's taken me so long to post! This school semester has kept me super busy. What do you think Lily gave to Pam? How is Pam going to deal with Lily returning to her maker? Will Eric be able to convince Bill that Lily should be permanently placed in his care, or does Eric have something else in mind. I might tweak this chapter later on, if I do, I'll let you know. Until next time guys, please review and have a great day!
