Author's Note: This is my first True Blood Fic! It's just a short Prologue though...


Prologue

She couldn't move. Couldn't feel anything even. But even so, she still looked around from her position on the ground in panic. The smell of exhaust burned her nose and stung her eyes. But none of that mattered at all.

"Leksy!" she cried. "Leksy!"

And through the smoke, she saw her precious baby walking towards her. She stood above her, looking down at her. Relief flooded through her at the sight of her baby, a little banged up but otherwise all right.

Leksy knelt down beside her, looking at her with those turquoise eyes of her, "Are you in pain?"

"Not anymore. Not with you here."

"I don't understand. I'm not even healing you."

"You being here is helping me more than you'll ever know, Leksy," she smiled.

"Are you dying?"

"Yes."

"Then you're leaving me?"

"Never. I will never leave you," she said fiercely, cupping her cheek with a bloodied hand.

"I fail to understand how you aren't leaving me when you're dying."

"Death means nothing, Leksy. I will exist as long as you remember me. I may not be visible to you, but I will live right here," she said, pointing at Leksy's chest. "In your heart." Leksy looked confused and she understood why.

She had always tried to teach her about feelings. But her time had run out. She didn't want to leave her precious baby all alone in the world, but her time was coming to an end. She prayed that Leksy would be given mercy. She knew so much and yet, she knew nothing at all. Leksy needed her, but she couldn't stay.

"Leksy, you'll always be my precious daughter..." she whispered. "I wish I had more time with you so I could help you. Feelings are wonderful and I so wish that you would be able to experience it yourself."

"Feelings are unnecessary to one like me."

"No, feelings... are necessary. You'll see why, Leksy."

"I don't need to. Can't you stay with me longer?"

"I can't..." she coughed and felt a warm substance dribbling from her lips.

She should have been more careful and sensed that they were being followed... She had managed to kill him, but she had taken hits too... She was thankful though that Leksy was safe. Especially with her form being more fragile than she was used to.

"Do I have to find another master?"

"No... You're free now, Leksy. Free to live life the way you were meant to. The way I taught you to. You don't need to bend to their will anymore..."

"Why didn't you use me?"

"Because you're my daughter and I love you."

"Love..."

"You will understand the many different forms of love, baby. I can't teach you anymore, but I just know you will..."

"But what reason is there for me if my master is gone?"

"I am not your master! I am your mother! Remember that, Leksy!" She coughed even more and softened her tone. "Remember me as your mother..." she whispered, feeling the hot tears roll down her cheeks.

"Is that an order?"

"... Yes."

"Then I understand."

"This is my final gift to you, Leksy..." she whispered.

She summoned as much strength as she had and gifted Leksy, whose eyes widened and the emptiness in them left, being replaced by various emotions that had her daughter screaming from the sudden assault of emotions.

Finally, when Leksy calmed, she looked at her with warm eyes that were filled with tears. The first tears she'd seen her shed. "Mommy..." Leksy whispered and she smiled.

"Oh baby..." she whispered as Leksy hugged her.

"Please don't leave me!"

"I'm sorry..."

The strength had left her and she dark spots clouded her vision and the last thing she heard was Leksy's cry before darkness claimed her.
