    Willa walked into the front door of the mansion after her visit with Jessica at the cabin.  She was glad to have made a new friend but, right now, she needed to talk to Brianna.  She was overly excited to let her know that Bill had agreed to let her work at Fangtasia once it was reopened.  She could certainly convince Bill to let Brianna go before it was officially opened so that she could be trained.  

    Vampspeeding up the stairs, Willa had to stop herself from simply bursting into Brianna's room and probably scaring her to death.  She knocked softly before cracking the door open just a tiny bit.  

    "Brianna?  Are you in here?  Hey can I come in hun, I need to ask you a question."

    Brianna had not long got out of the shower after spending several hours under the spray of the scorching hot water that did not burn her skin as it would have done if she had been human. She enjoyed the peace and quiet that it brought her, only to be brought back to reality that she would be spending yet another night alone in her room. She did not want to disturb Bill again tonight, after their last talk he had been evasive once again, always sneaking around as though he was hiding something. She wanted to know what it was, but decided against it not wanting to anger him again.

    Perching herself on the edge of her bed as she began towel drying her hair, having slipped on a small pair of shorts and a white t-shirt something simple for her to take her day rest in. It had to be a lot more comfortable that sleeping naked. You never know who comes into your room whilst your asleep.

    Turning to see her door open as stood from the bed and dropped the towel as she instantly began pulling the brush through her tangles of hair as she heard Willa.

    "Willa! Hey....Come on in. Where have you been? I was worried about you" she questioned

    Willa entered the room, practically running in with her excitement. Sitting on the bed next to Brianna, she shrugged her shoulders slightly.

    "Oh I've been out trying to take care of business. I had to go and pretend to be Pam so that I could get Tara's inheritance from the bank so that we can reopen Fangtasia, this great vampire bar that Eric and Pam used to run. There's been a lot to take care of and we're getting closer to reopening but we still have a long way to go."

    Willa was glad that she didn't need to breathe at this point because she realized that she was rambling due to her excitement. Brianna was looking at her as if she was trying to process everything that she had been rattling off at about fifty miles an hour. Willa wondered for a moment if vampires could hear super fast as well. The thought actually made her giggle, or perhaps she was still drunk from the blood wine that she had consumed at the cabin.

    Brianna tried to take everything in but it was taking a while. Fangtasia? She had heard of that place, somewhere in Shreveport. She remembered her father talking of the place when she was human. That it was a place for 'prostitutes and girls who will open their legs for anything...including dead things' A few of her friends has been to the bar and had tried to tempt her into going, but when she did she was grounded for months for even trying. And she wasn't going to try it again, but even now she still wouldn't be allowed out. Bill was just as bad as her father sometimes, from one locked tower to another.

    "You pretended to be...Pam?...Is that even possible?" she questioned.

    Reaching for a hair tie as she pulled her hair into a tight ponytail as she sat herself back down on the bed.

    "I thought that it would never reopen because of what your dad did? Is it not against the law or something like that?" she quizzed.

    "Well, I was dressed in her clothes and had a blonde wig on. I can't say that I looked just like her but it was pretty good. And, believe me, with her attitude, people are not likely to mess with her. That was the hardest part really. Well, that and not falling off my heels."

    Willa shook her head slightly and laughed at the memory. It was bittersweet, being able to finally have memories of the family that she had lost so suddenly without hurting as much but, he would never be able to share those moments with either Pam or Eric.

    Smiling slightly, Willa looked back up to Brianna.

    "Anyway, I wanted to ask you something. How would you like to be a bartender at Fangtasia when it opens to the public? The vampire police, the camp, and everything else have seemingly gone by the wayside since my father disappeared from sight. Well, that and the fact that the vampires killed just about all of the humans that worked there when we escaped. There's nothing to stop us from reopening."

    "Me? Work in Fangtasia?" she blurted out.

    Brianna's only experience was working in a restaurant that catered for truckers that were driving through. Not much experience for working in a bar, especially a vampire bar. She had absolutely no clue on how to work in a bar

    "Thank you...I would love to. But Bill would never allow that. He won't even allow me to leave this place, never mind working over in Shreveport at Fangtasia" she sulked.

    Bill had to go and ruin everything that was supposed to be great about being a vampire. Stuck inside these four walls was driving her mad, and it would have been nice to go out and make some friends. Just to try and experience what it was like at Fangtasia. She had heard many things on the news and from what her human friends has said it was meant to be a great place to meet vampires.

    Willa merely smiled as she listened to Brianna recount all of the reasons that she couldn't come to work at Fangtasia. It was just like her conversation with Bill all over again! Athough, Willa thought to herself, it would probably take much less convincing this time.

    "You will have to come to Fangtasia before we open so that you can be properly trained in mixing drinks. Also, don't worry about Bill. It took some bargaining and convincing but he has agreed to you working there. You would, however, have to have guards with you at all times, you'd have to be back home at 4 a.m. on the dot, and you can only feed from humans that have been pre-screened for HEP-V. But, you can at least get out of here most every night. So.....what do you say?"

    "Bill...Bill said yes?....Why?" she frowned.

    A part of her wanted to jump up and down with joy at the prospect of being allowed outside, well anywhere other than staring at these four walls. True Brianna loved her privacy, peace and quiet, but all she wanted right now was just to be able to get out. Even if it was just to work in a vampire bar, but at least it was somewhere other than here.

    But she silently groaned when she heard what Willa had to say about having guards with her all the time and having to be back by 4am every night that she worked there, only feeding from humans who have been properly screened which seemed reasonable enough.

    "But?...How did you do it? Every time I tried to ask him he would never let me out" she questioned Willa wanting to know her secret.

    Willa simply smiled and looked down for a moment or two. In truth, she hoped that her skills of persuasion had been the sole factor in Bill's decision but she also felt, in the back of her mind, that there were other things at work that had gotten him to agree. She decided, however, that those thoughts were best left unsaid.

    "I know what it's like to be locked away from the world because your father fears for your life; for what people would want to do to you just to get to him. My father did the same to me when I was a human. His actions led to many things. Not just Eric coming for me, threatening me with my life, but also with me agreeing to become a vampire so that I could escape the little cage that my father had me locked away in. I simply told Bill that by, in trying to keep you close, he would ultimately end up pushing you away. He truly does care for you; the same way that I care for Eric."

    "I care for Bill I really do, I mean he almost burnt to a crisp a few weeks ago and I saved him. I had never seen him so upset before that he wanted to die. I wanted to die when I was first turned, I nearly did. My father locked me up in his basement for a few weeks and Bill saved me, so I kind of owed him for saving my life. But ever since then he has had me locked up" she shrugged a little.

    Brianna did really care about Bill and Jessica, they were her dysfunctional family now in a way. But if they were all she had for the rest of eternity then she would have to deal with it.

    "So what happens now? Do we need to leave now? What do I wear? I have never been to Fangtasia before" she scooted from the bed and instantly headed towards her wardrobe and began searching through piles of clothes.

    She then quickly popped her head back out from outside the door;

    "I am sure Eric cared about you, I mean from what Jessica has told me about him. He only created one vampire in over a 1000 years. So he must have cared for you to turn you" she smirked sweetly.

    Willa rose from the bed to begin to follow Brianna into her massive closet but was stopped just short when Brianna poked her head out. Smiling softly, with only a hint of sadness, Willa nodded her head.

    "Yes, I know that he did care for me. When he turned me, I asked him why he had chosen to make me into a vampire. He told me it was because I deserve to be one. He took out all the bad that my father gave to me in his blood and he made me into something better. He freed me from my little cage. I will always love and miss him because he was truly the person that saved my life when he took it."

    Willa followed Brianna into the closet and began to look through the racks and racks of clothes that were there. She had never been in Fangtasia when it had been opened so she wasn't sure of what anyone really wore there. Thinking back to what Pam was wearing when she first met her, Willa decided that it should be something similar to that. Picking up a pair of black leather pants, Willa tossed them towards Brianna with a grin.

    "Those pants with something sexy will do. We won't be leaving to go there until tomorrow night, most likely. You need to meet Tara also. She's technically my niece but we're more like sisters really. She can be a bit.....abrasive but you'll get used to her. She's really quite nice once you get to know her."

    Brianna caught the black leather pants as she gawped at them, she would have never worn anything like that when she was human. Her father would have had a heart attack if he saw her in anything like this. She instantly began searching for something to wear with the pants and pulled out a blood red strap top that had flares of material at the shoulders.

    "How about this?" she questioned as she held the top to show.

    Her face fell when she started talking about Eric and how he had affected her life in such a short space of time.

    "I am sure he would be real proud of you and what your doing, your keeping his memory alive by re-opening the place. So I guess he will never really be dead, not if your fighting to keep him alive, as well as Pam. I am sure wherever they are now, they are watching over you" she smiled softly.

    Willa laughed at the thought of Pam and Eric watching over every move that she and Tara made.

    "Oh yeah, I could just hear Pam now! Everyday she probably looks down at me from wherever she is and says something like, 'Really? You're gonna wear that?!' While Eric is probably crossing his arms, raising that supercilious eyebrow of his, and complaining about something. He has control issues you see."

    Willa knew that keeping Eric and Pam's memory alive was one of the most important things to her and Tara. They would have to have something to commemorate them in the bar; to remind everyone where Fangtasia came from but also, and more importantly, to remind everyone of where Tara and Willa came from. Nobody would ever forget Eric and Pam, not while Willa and Tara were still alive.
