    Getting to Know You Empty Getting to Know You

    Post by Willa Burrell Sat Oct 12, 2013 10:35 am

    Willa paced the floors of her room for the fiftieth time, worrying about how Fangtasia was going to be opened with only two people to run the entire operation.  Tara had informed Willa about Bill being somewhat of a silent partner, overseeing a few things.  She thought it was a good idea but Willa only knew about running a business in theory and they would definitely need more people, preferably other vampires, to help with the business and Willa had no clue as who to trust.  There was one vampire that she knew would be fantastic in a position, Brianna.  But Willa wasn't sure how her maker, Bill Compton, would react to being asked.  Taking a deep, unnecessary, breath she decided now was a good a time as any.

    Listening intently, she located Bill in his study; although it seemed that lately that was the only place he could be found when he wasn't downstairs.  Willa had seen him trying to sneak about, which she wasn't sure what he was hiding.  Not yet at least but, that was for another night.  

    Walking downstairs, she knocked on the door politely before entering hastily and standing before his desk.  

    "Bill?  Can I talk to you?  I have a proposition for you."

    She fidgeted slightly, more nervous than she had been since the night she was turned.  How would Bill react?  Would he be glad to have something more for his newest progeny?  Or would he be angry and refuse?

    Bill had been kind since Willa had come to live in his home but, she truly didn't know much about the man.  What kind of maker was he?  What kind of king?  She was about to find out.

    Bill had been silently working away on chapter twelve of his book as he began correctly his mistakes as he began frantically typing out once again. He needed to clear his mind knowing that he would be visiting Kiara again once in bunker. He had been debating on how that scenario would go, mostly all ending up with his throat ripped out in attempt for Kiara to try and escape.

    The only place in finding peace and quiet recently was in his office, his staff knowing not to disturb him whilst he locked himself away in his memories. But he had began to doubt himself as everything was getting on top of him. He had obeyed Jessica's wishes and would wait until she contacted him before he involved a search team.

    Brought out of his trace of thought as he saw Willa entering his office/study as he closed the screen down on his computer, no one knowing of his intention.

    "Please seat Willa..Would you like something to drink?" he questioned her, not truly knowing what her proposition was, it was as though he was staring at a mini-Northman.

    Sitting down in the nearest chair, Willa sat back and crossed her legs, trying to look as casual and nonchalant as possible. She smiled slightly when Bill asked her if she wanted something to drink.

    "Yes, that would be great thank you."

    Taking a deep drink of the blood that was offered to her, she chuckled lightly.

    "You know, I keep wondering when this hunger is going to subside. It just stays there and gnaws at me."

    She took another gulp, trying to quell her nerves, before speaking again.

    "Bill, Tara told me that you're going to be like a silent partner with Fangtasia. That's going to be a large help but, we are going to need staff. Vampires would be best since we still aren't sure of who to trust but we have to make sure that it's nobody infected. I was wondering if.......well, if Brianna could come and work at Fangtasia. As a bartender, I mean, not a dancer or anything like that."

    Pausing for a moment, Willa tried to read Bill's face and what he thought about what she was proposing. She thought that it would be a good for Brianna, to get out and be among others. Her world would be more than just the walls of the mansion.

    Bill stood from his chair as he poured two champagne glassed filled with fresh blood and handed one to Willa as he returned to his seat, taking a few mouthfuls of his own blood.

    "You are still young Willa, there is no limit on time it takes for the blood lust to go. It is different for many vampires, for me it took me several years before I was able to control it. But for you it may be different. You just need to learn to fight against it" he reassured her.

    Composing himself again as he heard Willa make her purpose known and what she wanted with Brianna; Brianna working in Fangtasia.

    "It is very thoughtful of you to consider Brianna...But Brianna is not properly trained, she does not know how to defend herself against an attack. She is still young Willa. And I would not be doing my job correctly as a Maker if i allowed her to work in a place that I could not keep a watchful eye on her at all times...So for the time being, the answer is no"

    Willa raised a brow slightly as Bill explained to her all the reasons that Brianna could not come and work with her. She closed her eyes and shook her head slightly.

    "So then she is to remain in this house forever then? You have so many demands on your time already when will you find the time to train her properly? Tara, myself, and my guard squad will be there as well. She would be as safe as a kitten in a basket there Bill. Please, she needs to be able to have a life that holds more for her than this house. It'll be good for everyone."

    "I am the King of Louisiana! You will speak to me with respect!" he snared.

    It took a moment for Bill to calm himself down as he drained his glass of blood in one swift motion, depositing his glass on his desk.

    "Brianna is my responsibility Willa, as her Maker it is my job to keep her alive. There is a lot of people out there and I don't mean just humans that will try to get to me through my progeny. I will not and cannot take that risk. Do you understand?" he asked.

    But Bill could not help with this inkling feeling that she was right, Brianna was only going to learn if she able to interact more with other vampires other than himself.

    Willa was sightly taken aback as Bill ranted about being the King of Louisiana. It reminded her of her father whenever someone said something that touched a nerve with him. At this moment, it seemed that she had tried so hard to get away from her life with her father only to end up with another version. Yes, Willa would definitely have some thinking to do.

    A slight smirk tugged at her lips as Bill spoke to her about people who would want to get at Brianna simply because she was his child.

    "Of all people Bill, I know better than anyone of how far people would go to get to her because of who her father is. How do you think I came to be with Eric? He took me from my home because of who my father was and what he was doing at that time. Fortunately for me, it worked out. Let me tell you something though Bill, just a word of advice from someone who was locked away from the world because of her father's fear. It will drive her away and make her want nothing more than to escape from the tiny gilded cage you have her locked in. Don't make the same mistake with Brianna that my father made with me. She might be technically dead but, she still needs to live."

    With his chin resting on his hand as he listened to Willa make her plea well heard about Brianna. She did have a point; with Kiara locked away and Jessica god knows where. And Brianna constantly locked away out of sight like a dirty little secret. Although only certain people only knew how she became to be a vampire, but it was not something that he wished to dwell on.

    "If I agree to this, the guard will be increased. Brianna will constantly have someone with her at all times. She will return home every night at 4 pm precisely! Not a minute later. She will not feed on any human donors unless they have been properly screened. Do I make myself clear?" he questioned Willa.

    Bill was doing what he should have done with Jessica in the very beginning, but instead neglected her and left her with Eric and Pam. But now he would do things differently.

    Willa nodded slightly at Bill as he made his demands known about Brianna's safety.

    "Of course my king. She will be well guarded, although discreetly I would recommend. Having a guard attached to her side would make people realize that she is valuable to someone very powerful and important. It would only serve to put her on people's radar as someone they might want to use. Although, your guards have shown me that they can be quite discreet when needed."

    Willa knew that Tara wouldn't be thrilled about having increased guards in Fangtasia but Willa was a co-owner of the club and she was not about to leave Brianna locked away if she could help it.

    Rising to her feet, she smiled slightly, "Thank you Bill. I am glad that you are not blinded by your love for your progeny like my father was with me and that you are willing to listen to reason. I hope that, wherever he is now, he has found some sort of peace."

    Willa knew better than to think that her father was still alive. When it was first said that he was in an undisclosed location, she believed it. She came to realize that he was dead when he never resurfaced. Her father was too much of an egotist to remain in hiding and not speak for himself. She knew that someone or something had killed him.

    "The guards will be with her at all times, and under no circumstances will she left unattended. But the guards will be discreet at their job. That is what they are paid to do" he reminded her.

    He could not believe that he was doing this, but Willa had a good point. Brianna needed to get out and see what the life of a vampire had to offer her. He had been so busy with his own messes that he had really not had time to give as much time to Brianna as he could have. But hearing her talk about her missing father, he was hiding a dirty secret from her, but right now it was best kept to himself.

    "I am sure wherever your father is, he is in a good place" he false smirked.

    Willa smiled sightly, "Perhaps he is Bill. It's not my concern anymore I suppose. He made it perfectly clear that, while he still loved me, he was more than willing to sacrifice me simply because I was turned."

    A frown furrowed her brow as she thought about her father and how he was up to his demise. She wanted to pretend that she didn't care but it pained her, to know what kind of monster her father had become.

    "Well, thank you Bill for your consent and I assure you that your expectations will be met. I will let you get back to whatever you need to get done."

    Turning to leave, she poured herself a bit more of the blood that Bill had stored on the warmer in his office. She drained the glass before heading to the door.

    "I am trusting you Willa with Brianna. Do not let me down. Or I shall revoke everything, including Fangtasia" he instructed.

    As the King of Louisiana he had the right to take possession of Fangtasia, but that was the last thing that he wanted to do, seeing how important it was to both Tara and Willa to re-open it. Watching as Willa took her leave, but now his mind could not concentrate on his previous task. He knew what he had to do.

    It was time to visit Kiara.
