Composed out of my compulsive need for Eric to be with Pam. Inspired by, and titled after, the song mentioned below. Set post S4E12. Clearly AU since that awful excuse for an Eric & Pam S5 preview was released.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Pages turning, lights are burning
See what you could not see
It's plain as the day
The night makes you pay
For what was hidden underneath
Longing to leave
But begging to feel that
Something will make you stay
Gotta believe that this all leads
Somewhere we've never been
We won't run, we can fight
All that keeps us up at night
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
In denial
I always thought you knew yourself
Better than anyone
The season was lost
And you started listening
To everyone else
We're castin' this devil
I've got the mettle
The means to make things right
Tired of the guilt
Tired of being sorry
Well, haven't we suffered enough?
We won't run, we can fight
All that keeps us up at night
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
Of our lives
"We Won't Run" by Sarah Blasko
Eric left Bill's manse not long after Bill dispatched Nan's soul via the True Death. He and the King had spoken briefly about what might be in store for them and decided it best to gather their respective progeny, then regroup at the mansion prior to going to ground. There was safety in numbers, Eric couldn't deny that, and while he was not too keen on the idea of relying on Bill for protection, even for a day, it would be far more prudent to keep the King close at hand while he assessed the situation with the AVL and the Authority, and laid out his own plan of action.
Besides, Eric Northman was never one to run and hide, and he would not start now; he took to the sky.
He didn't see Pam's car parked outside of Fangtasia, but that didn't necessarily mean that she wasn't there. Unlike him she couldn't fly, but she could still get where she needed to go without wheels and she could do it quickly.
The bar appeared to be closed down for the evening, even the staff parking lot was empty. He was surprised that he didn't see Ginger's car still there since he assumed that Pam would be drowning her sorrows in the half empty vessel that was their most loyal human employee as per usual.
He ventured inside for a quick peek around.
Pam was probably pouting on the couch in his office, anxious to apologize to him again for her rash behavior and get back to their comfortable association.
Or not.
