Damian finished all his preparations now he had to give the presents to the people in which they belong to. He was walking, due to his lack of car. So it was taking him awhile to get from the hotel to the back of Merlottes, and since he couldn't carry the box as a wolf, he couldn't run.
When he got there it was early morning and he couldn't tell if anyone was up. The present consisted of two outfits bought from Pam's new store. One for Sam, and another for Brandy[/u]. He was doing this to makeup for the incident that happened recently at a park. There was a note attached that said Brandy and Sam on the envelope and which read: The secret place was a French restaurant in Shreveport. Damian reserved the whole place until closing so Brandy and Sam can get re-acquainted with each other. Since Jack they seemed to be distant and he wanted to help since after his kiss with Brandy he wasn't sure if it made it better. He left it on the doorstep knocked and ran into the woods where he shifted before anyone would know who was there. Though he knew Sam would before the letter was open.[/color]

Brandy slept next to Sam, like they usually did together. They usually fell asleep in the spo*n position, with him against her back and his arm around her securely. She felt safe.. warm, and protected but when she woke up in a sweat because she was having intense sex dreams of Jack and Sam's arm was around her - she only felt sick to her stomach.
She was quiet to ease out from under Sam's hold, reaching for a housecoat she wrapped around herself because she thought she heard something. Curiously she wandered through the bedroom, through the hallway, and toward the front door.
Brandy opened the door, picking up the packages as she read the note - -
"Dear Brandy and Sam,
I am sorry for everything. So to make up for it, enclosed is two outfits in which you will wear. Brandy you have an appointment at the hair salon to get your hair done for tonight. Then at seven you will leave and go to this address 5445 Wolfton Ave. in Shreveport. The place there requires a reservation. In which is registered as Merlotte.
Sincerly Damian.
P.S Brandy the Salon appointment is at 5."
Brandy was holding the note, looking out toward the forest.
"Damian... I really wished you would of told me.. I could of told you today was a really bad day for this."
Brandy sighed and bent down to pick up the boxes before she closed the door behind her and glanced toward the table.
She had brought a couple books from the duplex over the night before - one was her own spell book, the other was a book containing collected notes on vampires. Tonight she was going to Fangtasia - to give Jack one last chance to release her.
She had some stuff to figure out today first. And, while the gesture was nice - and she would be sure that her and Sam would get the chance to go out and wear the outfits - it was just very bad timing.

Sam's eyes opened slowly, blinking as they caught the morning sun peeking through a gap in the curtains. He turned to look at Brandy, but all he saw was an empty half of the bed. He sighed and his heart sank. Could she even stand to stay in the same bed as him? Sam shook that thought from his mind. Of course she could, she wouldn't lay next to him or let him put his arm around her if she wasn't wanting it.
Sam got up and wandered out into the living room and noticed the door was open and Brandy was standing there. She was pouting over something in her hands, looked like a parcel. Sam's blood began to boil, thinking it was some sort of gift from Jack.
"What's that?" he asked casually, masking his annoyance.

"What's that?"
Sam's voice had distracted her and she looked at him with a soft smile. No matter what was going on in their lives, she always liked to see him...
"They are a couple of outfits from Damian. Read the note"
Brandy walked over to Sam, giving a soft kiss on the cheek as she left the boxes behind and returned to the kitchen table. She was flipping through the books with an interested look.
"I am going to Fangtasia tonight, maybe you can phone Damian and tell him?"
Brandy liked Damian and all, she just felt a little awkward around him and now she was struggling with her own magic.. and her own issues she had to deal with..
"Tonight is way too important to mess up.."

Fangtasia? Sam visibly flinched at the mention of the Vampire bar. "I really don't like the idea of you going there." Sam huffed and pouted a little. "It's way dangerous. I really don't like it."
Sam trumped into the kitchen and poured a glass of water and began to prepare the coffee machine. Times like this, he could do with something stronger but it was too early for anything like that. So caffeine would have to suffice.
"I want to go with you." Sam said with a sulk. He was feeling so helpless and hopeless. Taking a long swig of his water as if it was a stronger liquid. Sam paced the kitchen, waiting on the coffee machine to signal it's readiness.

"I really don't like the idea of you going there. It's way dangerous. I really don't like it."
Brandy hated bringing up what she was going to, but she had no choice. She had a note pad she had been making notes on, looking back and forth between her spell book and the vampire book.
"Nobody will hurt me."
Brandy had paused for a moment, finally drifting her brown eyes to Sam as a sigh left her full lips.
"I am in service of the queen remember? Nobody would be stupid enough to touch me."
It was the truth after all, if there was anywhere Brandy was untouchable was Fangtasia - at least while the queen had deemed her so 'valuable'. Lucky for Brandy, she at least had enough magic on her side that if the queen did so change her mind, which she doubted, she was getting strong enough to hold her own.
"I want to go with you."
"Out of the question."
Brandy rarely, if ever, got stern with Sam - but at that she had looked up from her books and the look in her eyes said it all.
"I need you at the bar. When I get back from Fangtasia, Jack is a pompous enough @ss that he will probably come by the bar to gloat. I need you there to keep him distracted enough while I perform my spell"
Brandy had ruffled though the pockets of the housecoat, pulling out the small travel - size sewing kit she had picked up when she was last in Dallas.
"Jack has underestimated me for the last time."

Sam began to protest, when Brandy cut him off. He pursed his lips and bit his tongue. Another thing he hated, Brandy being one of the Vampire Queen's lackeys. She was worth more than that, way more and it was just one of many things that ate away at him.
"I need you at the bar. When I get back from Fangtasia, Jack is a pompous enough @ss that he will probably come by the bar to gloat. I need you there to keep him distracted enough while I perform my spell"
Sam began to brighten a little. The thought of tormenting the Vampire as much as he'd been tormenting them this past few days was starting to become an interesing idea. He wasn't afraid and knew he could do what Brandy asked him to do.
"Jack has underestimated me for the last time."
Sam saw the look in Brandy's eyes and was invigorated. The steely determination and strength in her voice made him so proud. Even though he was worried as hell for her. He walked over towards her. "Please..." he said taking one of her hands. "I know you're gonna do this wether I like it or not, but be careful. Jack is old and dangerous. He may not give a crap what the Queen wants."

"Please..."
Brandy was a bit taken back when Sam had reached for her hand, she had looked at him gently and gave him her full attention.
"I know you're gonna do this wether I like it or not, but be careful. Jack is old and dangerous. He may not give a crap what the Queen wants."
Brandy had pushed her chair back at that moment and rose to her feet, wrapping her slender arms around Sam as she pulled him close to her.
"He does give a crap Sam. That's just it, in the vampire world the queen's word is law. He wouldn't go against her, he is just doing this for fun. Believe me, just like he can feel my emotions.. I can feel his."

Sam's heart was heavy, this was a dangerous quest Brandy was on. But she was determined and stubborn and wasn't going to let Jack walk all over her and ruin the previously good relationship with Sam.
"Just watch your back there. I know you don't hold any real ill will towards Vampires, but they ain't to be trusted."
Sam let out a sigh, "I won't pretend I'm not worried about this whole thing. What if it goes wrong? Or doesn't work." Cynical but in Sam's mind he was being practical and realistic.

"Just watch your back there. I know you don't hold any real ill will towards Vampires, but they ain't to be trusted."
Brandy sighed, but she understood where Sam was coming from. He was worried about her, and he was protective over her.. if she could have him there with her the whole time, she would - she just couldn't.
"I won't pretend I'm not worried about this whole thing. What if it goes wrong? Or doesn't work."
Brandy thought about it for a moment.. how could she reassure Sam without blowing her cover? What if something were to happen to her.. it would be out of her control...
"Then I'll relocate you to me."
Brandy was looking at him seriously, and she had both hands on his shoulders now. She knew she could do it, it would take a lot of energy.. a lot of magic, but...
"If anything goes wrong, I'll use my magic and call upon you."

"I really don't like the idea of that, but if it's a last resort thing. Beam me up Scotty!" Sam forced a smile past his lips. As proud of her as he was, fact of the matter was her magick intimidated him and the idea of being zapped from one place to another wasn't all that appealing. But if it meant keeping Brandy safe and protecting her then he'd take the chance. She was worth the risks.
"So when are you heading over to Fangtasia?" Sam asked, a concerned look just unable to be removed from his bearded face.

"I really don't like the idea of that, but if it's a last resort thing. Beam me up Scotty!"
Was Brandy really planning on 'relocating' him if things got hairy? No. No, she wasn't at all. Not only would she not put him in the risk of vampires (he was only a shapeshifter) but she would probably have a better chance to fight them off on her own. But she wanted him to feel better.
She didn't want him worrying about her all night, which he was going to do anyway. Even if he was with her, he would still be worried and she would spend more time protecting him than herself.
God, she loved him.
"So when are you heading over to Fangtasia?"
"Sunset"
Her eyes were soft as she stood up and closed all the books, gathering them in her hands to take them over to the closet. She was slowly beginning to move her things over to Sam's trailer, but she still had a lot of stuff to go through.

Sam felt a little silly, of course it'd be sunset. Not like the Vamps came out before then. More's the pity he mused. But he'd keep that to himself. "Text me when you get there? You got my new number yeah?"
Sam pulled a little face as he remembered how his other one was stolen and used against him, and Brandy.
He didn't hold it against Haylee, it wasn't like she was in control of her actions and there was no way he'd ever tell her what happened. She didn't need that on her conscience.
"I gotta hit the shower before I head over to the bar to get things ready for opening." Sam gave Brandy a small kiss and headed into the bathroom.

Brandy nodded, she had his new number. Briefly she remembered what happened to his phone...
She shook the thought away as soon as it came to her. She offered him a smile when he told her he was going to have a shower and be on his way to the bar.
By the time he would come out of the shower she would be gone, she still had her own part job at the mall after all - -
She hoped.
