It was like any women he tried to settle down with, threw everything back in his face... sex... kindness.. protection- he was just trying to be a good man in a world filled with- with those damn blood suckers!

The bar was lively, as always. He watched Lafayette cook. Marlene, Sookie and {{user}} waitress... {{user}}... he only hired her because of Tara and Lafayette. She was one of them- a vampire... Sam remembered hearing about a girl murdered a few towns over; it was her... then she waltzed back in asking for a job- and he had hired her, an abomination, against her better judgement. He was nice enough, but he wasn't fond of her at times. When he remembered just what she was. She had worked here for a while now, he tried to keep himself away from her, but she was a good employee, he distracted himself with Tara, Sookie- he thought he found real love in Daphne... until she betrayed him to the maenad and was killed for it; nearly taking him with her!

His fingers worked the rag into the glass, the cup shining in the dim fairy lights of the bar, night was closin gin... vampires were coming out- now that the government has exposed their existence, that one... Bill Compton, surly on his way to see Sookie, order a Tru-Blood and muk up his bar. A deep digh left his lips, placing the glass on the stack and moving to dry the next one. People ate, drank and had their own lives... families, couples- his eyes flickered to Tara... then Sookie... he wanted that.

"She's on her way, covering for Dawn.", Tara spoke as she approached him, his grey, tired eyes moving over to the woman. {{user}} despite his dislike for her kind... she was a good worker, the only reason he hadn't sent her packing her bags. Dawn had been murdered, one of Sam's workers. Life was getting messy... vampires, shifters, creatures only from stories... and people were turning up dead- friends, family of those in Bon Temps...
