True Blood

Whatever I Am, You Made Me

"Tara, we just want to help! Tara, please let us explain!" I cry as Lafayette and I sprint through the woods trying to find Tara finally after hours of searching I give up and drive to Fangtasia 

"Pam. Pam. I need to talk to you in private." I cry but she shakes her head 

"My maker hasn't been home in four days... not that you give a shit.  Bill's demon spawn thinks they're on some kind of business trip... but we both know the only business Eric ever has with King Bill... is the kind that involves almost getting themselves killed protecting you." she says and I shake my head 

"Whatever they're up to has nothing to do with me." I whisper and she laughs rolling her eyes 

"Listen Meghan I've always thought you were smart and hot and I understand why Eric likes you so much but if you don't get the fuck out of my face" she growls moving in towards me and I cry as I lift her up from the ground and she goes flying across the air and I spin before walking out. When I rush back home Lafayettes cleaning up the mess in the house and we make our rounds start looking for her and I walk into Sams office 

"Did you see Tara last night?" I cry walking into the room 

"No. No. No, why?" Sam asks looking nervous 

"I called you a bunch of times and never heard back. I was hoping maybe she was with you." I say and his eyes shoot up to mine 

Listen the voices whisper 

Look at her boobs. The way she smells, think about that. Anything but the walk-in-- Shit! Walk-in, walk-in, walk-in-- Damn it! Sam cires 

"Walk-in? Tara's in the walk-in?" I cry 

"Fuck! Well, it was the only light-tight place I could think of. She made me promise not to tell you." Sam cries 

"Is she okay?" I ask 

"Hell, no! She's a vampire! From how pissed she was at you and Lafayette... I guess you had something to do with that." he says 

"She was gonna die. The less you know about all that, the better, for your own good. If you hate me, it's fine." I cry and Sam shakes his head 

"Listen. Hey, my brother died in my arms. He wanted to go, but I can't help wondering if I should have fought harder. The way I see it, you gave Tara another chance. It may not be the kind of life she had in mind... but it's up to her now what she wants to do with it." he whispers and I smile 

"Thank you. For keeping her safe. And...everything. Can I give you a hug without you thinking about my boobs?" I whisper and he smiles 

"Probably not." he states and I laugh before walking out to where I see Lafayette standing in front of the freezer at Merlotts 

"He put my cousin in the fucking freezer." Laf says biting his nails 

"Cold isn't gonna bother her any. When they sleep, they're basically dead. Have to make sure nobody opens this door till nightfall." I whisper 

"Yeah, and then what? It's like keeping a pet gator in a bathtub. We can't handle her by ourselves." Lafayette says and I shake my head 

"We're just gonna have to find a way." I whisper. When I start working Alcide walks into the bar and my eyes go to his immediately and he tells me about how Debbie is officially a missing person 

"They found her car near your house." he states and I nod "She's back on the V. I don't know what she's capable of." he says 

"Well thanks for the information" I say smiling but then Alcide freaks 

"I tell you Russell's on the loose, you throw me out of your house.
I tell you Debbie's MIA, maybe gunning for you... you act like it's no big deal. I get you're tough. That don't mean you have to be stupid." he cries and I roll my eyes before walking away 

"I appreciate you caring. It doesn't mean you get to talk to me like that" I hiss 

"There's something going on here. There's something you're not telling me, and I want to know why." he cries but then i hear screaming coming from the kitchen and I rush in to see Tara standing there and she glares at me as I walk in 

"Why don't we talk about it outside, alone?" I whisper looking at Arlene, Sam and Lafayette who all look shocked and scared. I feel Alcide run up behind me and Tara smirks 

"Why? Afraid he won't think you're so cute once he knows what you did?" she cries and I growl as she walks away but Sam stops her before she gets out 

"Hey, Meghan and Lafayette are your friends. They're trying to help you." he cries 

"Turning me into a monster? I don't need that kind of help and I don't need yours either. All I can think about... is ripping out y'all's fucking throats...so stay the hell away from me, for your own sakes. Or I swear to God, I'll do it." she cries before walking away and I sigh with relief 

"Nothing's going on, huh?" Alcide cries before walking out the room and I rush out to follow him when I finally reach him I start to explain what happened with Debbie 

"She was trying to get to me. Tara jumped in front." I whisper and he looks at me with hurt eyes 

"Debbie shot Tara?" he asks 

"And I-I got mad and then..." I whisper feeling tears swell in my eyes 

"What, Meghan? Say it. Say it." he cries with his hands on his hips 

"I killed her." I breathe out and he steps back dropping his head 

"You were never gonna tell me? You were gonna let me go looking for her, wondering what the hell happened?"  he cries 

"Yes. Because you loved her. You forgave her for everything. I didn't know what you were gonna do." i cry watching as he swings his head back in frustration  

"Oh, bullshit! I have had your back since the day we met. You owe me more than lying to my face!" he cries before slamming his fists against his truck  

"Alcide! I'm sorry. I wish I could" I whisper trying to touch him but he moves back

"I don't wanna hear it. I don't wanna hear another word. I don't--" he breathes out trying to control his anger 

"I don't have a right to ask, but I need to know what you're gonna do. I need to know if you're gonna tell anyone." I cry but he shakes his head before walking away
