The Visions
Chapter 1
Eric took an unnecessary breath and leaned back against his leather chair while rubbing his temples. He had never in his over thousand year existence experienced such weariness. He closed his eyes and immediately he was revisited with Godric's shadowy image. Eric's eyes snapped open and he mentally swore in old Norse. He could no longer find a moments peace without seeing Godric.
Following Godric's true death he would have given anything to see his maker again, yet these recurring visions were pure torture. At first the visions were of Godric's disappointment in how he handled the Russell fiasco. His anger at his maker's advice was growing by the day as the uncertainty mounted as to Russell's whereabouts and motives. Eric was continuing to berate himself for even listening to Godric and not killing Russell while he had the chance.
Feeling that his actions disappointed the maker he loved and admired was bad enough but since Russell's escape the visions had changed completely and they haunted Eric's every waking moment. He couldn't concentrate on anything other than the visions that Godric was bombarding him with over and over and over.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Pam shouted as she flung open the office door. "You were due out to entertain the vermin over an hour ago"!
Eric shook his head in a futile attempt to clear his thoughts and simply turned and sat heavily back into his chair. He blankly looked at Pam and simple said, "not tonight".
Pam began to rant about lost revenue without his presence but Eric could not focus on what she was saying. He blankly watched her pace around his office in her typical Fangtasia outfit of painted on black leather as she yelled at him to snap out of it.
"It's that Sookie bitch, isn't it?" she finally demanded as she whipped around to face her maker. "You haven't been able to focus on anything since that crazy, selfish human told you she didn't want to have anything to do with you".
"This has nothing to do with Sookie" Eric said forcefully. "It is something completely unrelated" he added as his voice trailed off.
Pam's demeanor instantly changed as she heard the forlorn tone in her maker's voice and she slowly perched on the edge of Eric's desk waiting for him to continue.
Eric had not wanted to share his visions of Godric with Pam but he realized that he was not functioning and as his child, Pam deserved an explanation.
"I am not sure where to begin" Eric finally uttered.
Pam shifted closer to her maker to encourage him to continue. "Just start from the beginning".
After an unnecessary breath Eric began, "You know that I've been having visions of Godric?"
Eric paused to await Pam's acknowledgement and after seeing her small nod, he began to speak again.
"The visions have changed. Godric is no longer expressing his disappointment with my need for avenging my family's death".
"Well it's about fucking time" Pam exclaimed as she jumped off the desk and resumed her earlier pacing. "If he hadn't given you that asinine advice, Russell would be finally dead and we wouldn't be looking over our shoulders every two minutes"!
"Sit down now!" Eric shouted. "You will not disrespect my maker with your admonishments. If you would like me to continue you will sit down immediately and shut up."
Pam looked properly abashed but silently took the seat opposite Eric's desk and waited for him to continue.
"As I was saying" Eric started with exasperation, "the visions have changed. Every day for the past week, multiple times per night and even in my day death, I see this vision".
Pam arched an eyebrow at the news that Eric was seeing visions in his day death but she remained mute.
"In every vision Godric shows me a woman I have never laid eyes on. She is petite, has red hair, eyes as black as coal and just stares blankly as if she is peering into a mirror".
"What do you think it means?" Pam asked curiously.
"I'm not finished" Eric grumbled with frustration.
"Sorry" Pam muttered as she slunk further into her seat.
"In the vision Godric tells me that she is to be my child and that I must turn her" Eric said shakily as he quickly studied Pam's face to gauge her reaction.
What little color Pam had in her face drained suddenly. "What?" was all she was able to manage to croak out.
"I do not know any more Pamela" Eric said strongly in frustration. "All I know is that I am plagued by this one recurring vision and I do not believe that Godric will stop until I have either been driven mad or turn this woman".
"Well who the hell is she?" Pam shouted.
"Damn if I know".
"How do we find her?"
"Pam, I just do not know" Eric answered as he rose to begin pacing the room himself. "I have never seen this woman before in my existence and do not have any notion of how to start looking for her. I do not even know her name" Eric growled as he slammed his fist onto his desk.
"Why would Godric send you visions of a woman that you don't know, have no way to find, and say she is to be your child? It doesn't make any sense!" Pam angrily fumed. "He is going to drive you mad!"
"There is one more detail I failed to tell you" Eric said slowly as he stopped pacing in front of Pam.
Pam looked up at her maker and barely heard him whisper, "she is a seer".
"What?" Pam asked as she stood up. "A seer?"
"That is what Godric says to be true in the vision. She is a seer and must become my child".
"Do you think she will be able to help us with Russell?" Pam eagerly asked as her brain began to strategize the advantages of adding a seer added to their "family". "Maybe that's why Godric is showing you these visions" Pam excitedly added.
"Perhaps" Eric replied coolly "but, we have to find her first.
