First fanfiction since the finale, and the first one that is not complete and utter fluff! Decided to see what happened next to my two all time favorites on the show (who, imo, cannot survive without the other) for their six month absence. Love feedback and reviews!
I, sadly, do not own True Blood or any of it's characters. Rights go to the respective owners.
Waiting on the World to Change
Pamela Swynford de Beaufort was flying somewhere over northern Sweden when she felt it first. She faltered and slowed her speed as she felt an invisible fist land in her stomach, and she sucked in a shaky breath she no longer needed. Steam rose from around her, and she watched in horror as her skin sizzled and began to bubble.
"What the f…"
An earpiercing scream echoed throughout the barren mountain range, and Pamela was able to pinpoint a small fire almost directly below her. Eric. Cold terror gripped her heart.
Pain erupted in her body and she cried out. Black cobwebs broke out in front of her eyes, and she struggled to stay conscious, trying to focus on her maker, a task she new she could not do.
She let out a sigh, and then made her decision. She closed her eyes, and let herself fall out of sky while the darkness claimed her once more.
Eric roared in pain and collapsed to his knees. His mind raced and looked towards the sky, to the sun that had been forbidden to him for so long and now killed him once more. He felt his body give way, and he was pierced with so many confusing emotions- pain, regret, anger. He wasn't ready to give up just yet. He rolled in the snow, extinguishing himself for the most part, but he could still feel himself slipping away.
He thought about a conversation he and Pamela had had only a few short years ago.
"It can't end this quickly."
"Everything ends. Even the immortal."
His heart ached. She was all he had left on this Earth, and he would miss her. He thought of all the things he had never told her but should have. And in that instant, even though it was completely and utterly irrational, he would have given anything in the world for her to be there, to be held in her arms as he died.
He fell back into the snow and looked up the sky, which he decided would be a beautiful last sight. He saw a bright flash streak across the sky. The flash suddenly grew larger, and larger, and larger. It looked human. A human falling from the sky. Eric's eyes grew impossibly large as he watched his progeny fall through the sky at an impossible speed towards earth.
PAMELA! He screamed in agony, and then the whole world went black.
