    *Tara slid the rag over the table one last time, making sure she got the last of the funk, off the bar, she had seen her Maker, long ago go into her office, she was staring at Nora, while the other vampire did whatever she was doing across the bar, Tara cleaned off the rest of the bar, a couple of dusty bottles and returned her attention to the brunette whom she last had a drink with, to celebrate the end of the world....it made her seriously re-think her early-er conversation with Pam....it occurred to her that Pam, never did exactly tell her, who started this whole mess, and why she was to fear the humans anyway, all she was told was not to be fuckin' stupid...which she didn't have to be fuckin' told anyway...no one..human..or vampire was hurting her, or her Maker...nobody fucked with them, in there own house, she licked her lips and looked over at Nora, again.*

    "Hey...you ever play a game, called Clue...it's a human board game,
    they have these little weapons in it, a noose, a wrench, a candle stick,
    which you know has to be some old fashion Uncle Tom shit, ain't nobody
    got time to murder anyone with a fuckin' candle stick....anyway...it'd be
    to fuckin' messy anyway, you'd get that shit all over you.....Sook and me
    use to fight about that every time we played."

    Nora was wiping down a table when she heard Tara's question about something called a board game named Clue. She lifted her head and chuckled to herself, "No, I can't say that I have ever played that game. When I was a child, I mainly preferred to learn to hunt. My mother, wanted me to spend my time with dolls but I never enjoyed them personally. Although, if wielded correctly, a candlestick could make for a fairly efficient weapon, if you're in a pinch."

    *Tara narrowed her eyes and shook her head, she was trying to joke with Nora, and clearly that wasn't the way it came out, or maybe she really was just to prim and proper to care, Tara crossed her arms over her chest, and said.*

    "Yeah it could make a good weapon, but the point of the game, is to guess who did it, where and with what weapon, my argument was, if you did it with the candle stick or wrench, and you didn't do that shit clean, that's all....you really need to throw a little caution to the wind, and relax a bit, it can't be healthy for you to be wound so tight all the time."

    *Tara said raising an eyebrow*

    At Tara's words, Nora laughed, "Healthy for me eh? Well if anything were bad for me, being that I'm dead, it would be either that dreadful TruBlood or Pam being my boss."

    She rolled her eyes slightly at the thought of her latest nagging. "Perhaps you should be giving her the wound too tight speech instead."

    She chuckled to herself as she pictured Tara telling Pam that she was too uptight and needed to relax a bit.

    *Tara smiled at the mention of her Maker being to tightly wound, and shook her head.*

    "Oh you have no idea, Pam let loose every now and then, trust me,
    shit, you really think I stand here all night and just say yes, Massa?
    Hell no.....the thing about Pam is...okay...there isn't anything I can
    say, I mean your British, I half expect you to act this way, I mean I
    caught an episode of Super Nanny, every now and then, Pam...I don't
    think she likes you, and I know you don't like her, so...considering
    your both so tightly wound, why don't you get along...you know, My
    cousin, would say if you were both human, to just put you two in a
    room, with a little X...and let whatever happens, happen, of course,
    my cousin much like my former best friend, is a fucking idiot."

    *Tara said looking back at Nora.*

    Nora frowned slightly at Tara's remark about her and Pam not getting along, "Well, there is a lot of history behind Pam and I not liking one another. Since you are her progeny perhaps it is more her place to tell you why but, since she has her hands full with running this place, I suppose I can tell you. Eric never truly wanted to be a maker. He was with Pam one evening and she cut her wrists telling him to either turn her or let her die. For some reason, Eric was already attached to her and so he turned her."

    She paused for a few moments, "It should have been his decision to turn her. Godric gave us both the choice to either die or be turned, which is the way it should be and not the other way around."

    She pulled out a chair and sat down, kicking the other one out for Tara.

    *Tara sat down and shrugged when Nora explained,
    she nodded slightly and then said matter of factly.*

    "Well...then you should hate me, Pam never wanted to be a Maker as far
    as I know, fuck I certainly know I wasn't her first choice, or even her
    choice at all, my cousin and Sookie fuckin' made a deal with her, to
    turn me into a vampire, so they could ease there guilt, at the fucking
    time knowing I hated vampires....a feeling I have since changed,
    however neither Sookie or Lafayette took that opinion into there grand
    scheme of things, now with that being said, what the fuck are they
    keeping from me, and you don't do well with lying...I'd never play
    poker with you...well that's a lie, I would, and I'd more then likely
    kick your ass at it."

    *Tara said, lighting up a cigarette.*

    Nora laughed when Tara said that Nora wasn't a good liar. "Oh my dear, Eric himself has always appreciated my ability to lie. He always said that I am amazing at it. Although, I do not lie to my family unless it is to protect them which, at this time, I can see that you do not need."

    She leaned forward and dropped her voice slightly, "Now, as for hating you, it wasn't as if you had a choice in the matter either. I am sorry as to how you became a vampire but you are doing quite well with it. I once told you that I thought you would be better at being a vampire than a human and I still mean that. Some people are made for this life. This would be true about you, and even Pam."

    Shaking her head slightly, Nora's face suddenly became quite serious, "As for what you do not know, the humans are beginning to rise up against vampires. It was revealed, by a shifter, that humans were being kept at the Authority and fed on. Of course, humans naturally feel threatened and some seem to be lobbying to eradicate all vampires because of this. And apparently something else is coming but what that is, I do not know."

    *Tara nodded when she said she was made for this...and Pam,
    truth be told, Pam use to scare the living shit out of her,
    and there was a time, not to long ago, that Pam nearly killed
    her....she actually would have...had it not been for Bill,
    she stopped and looked down for a moment.*

    "Okay, well then you don't look like you lie well, which must
    make you dealing with Pam, nearly hellish...I am surprised,
    you have not killed each other honestly...that being said, you
    do know if you ever do attempt to kill her, I will kill you,
    so don't do that...cause I kinda like you, your the only one
    who fucking shoots straight with me here, and I'll save you
    the fact of informing me your older, and blah, blah, either
    way....I'll die in the process, I may be a lot of things, but
    I am fucking loyal."

    *Tara said finishing her cigarette, she shifted her weight
    a bit, it was a baby vamp behavior as Pam would say, but
    Tara was not yet use to sitting so motionless yet.*

    "There humans...Bill was a god once, Eric and you are
    like fuckin' as old as gods, why are we even sweating this,
    isn't it kinda like a big kid, getting upset an ant hill
    is in it's way?*

    *Tara said looking at Nora, and then said.*

    "I know something else is coming...I had an...
    well let's just say I had an old friend show
    up...and tell me...but of course like all of
    my life he couldn't quit with the cryptic."

    Nora smiled as Tara threatened her if she ever made any attempts on Pam's life, "I would never do that because, like you, I am also loyal. She is Eric's progeny and I am loyal to him. She is also family, as much as I do not like that fact and I am not going to harm our bloodline so there is no need to worry about me trying to harm Pam."

    She was slightly irritated that Tara would threaten her but also impressed at her courage in doing so.

    "And Eric, at a thousand years old, and I, at nearly six hundred, may be formidable but there are hundreds of human for every vampire out there. Even at our strength, those odds are not good for any of us." She purposely left Bill out of her part of the conversation, unsure how Eric would feel if she let loose the nature of Bill's mental condition as of late.

    *Tara just stared at Nora for a moment, and then said*

    "I find it hard to believe our Mighty King Bill,
    is just going to leave us to die...then again he
    did fry his brain a bit with that Authority mumobo-
    jumbo, besides Eric would never allow Sookie to be
    in danger, and if humans are going after us...what
    about those who love us....whatever is coming is nasty...
    nasty enough that Pam...."

    *She instantly grew silent, to admit Pam's mention of
    the bar, and to not be fuckin' stupid, to tell what Pam
    had said, seemed in some way to be a direct way to
    disrespect her, no....knowing that Pam and Nora did
    not get along, she dared not say, exactly what she was
    told.*

    "I don't think Pam is so sure of things...sometimes...
    I think you two would really get along if you two could
    stop being petty bitches, honestly, you both are in love
    with the same man, for the same reason, you may not see
    it as so....but it's true...."

    *Tara said looking up at Nora.*

    Nora raised a brow as Tara stopped herself from vocalizing her concerns about Pam. "Oh, she and I have a mutual love for Eric and that is one of the only things that we usually agree on. Besides, not getting along has become almost a sport for us. And we are both champions at it."

    "As for our King, there are topics that are better off not spoken about by myself and that would be one of them." Nora wasn't sure if Tara knew that Nora was not supposed to talk about Bill but she was not about to go about discussing topics that she knew, Eric did not want mentioned especially by her. For all she knew, Bill could've gotten a way to sneak another listening device into the bar. Nora usually found new ones when she would do her nightly sweep before resting for the day.

    *Tara looked at Nora, and shook her head*

    "Now...I am concerned...I asked Pam about Bill...
    she ignored me...I asked you about Bill...you
    ignored me...but I tell you this, I admire you,
    and her both for it......I know you would tell
    me if Pam were simply being scatter brained,
    because, well that's what you do...but....
    your both blissfully ignoring it, in the same manner,
    which....is...nearly determined, you managed to
    nearly answer everything I said aside from Bill...
    still...You and Pam may not get along, but I honestly
    think it's, because your so similar....of course...
    there is one main difference...and one only...
    I like you but she has better shoes."

    *Tara said with a smug smile, getting up, and
    heading downstairs...she wondered how much Pam
    had heard...and if any of it would upset her,
    she thought she did her Maker proud, if she did
    say so herself.*
