Dance Competition

Chapter One: Invitation

It has been a week since I last talked to Eric that night of the Fairy War. I still have not come to a complete understanding with him abut what happened. Everything has slowed down and I finally get a break from all the vampire shit. With all the injuries I had sustained during the battle, healed from Eric's blood, I went to Merlotte's to work today even though I still have a week off. That is because Arlene never showed up at work tonight to do her shift and Sam asked if I could just help out tonight. I still have a week off so I can recuperate after the battle and to go over what has happened between Eric and me over these past few months. So that is how I ended up working the bar tonight.

Merlotte's was busy tonight with it being Friday Night Football and all. Catfish was having a beer with my brother, Jason, and watching the game. Hoyt was with his new girlfriend, talking to Tanya & Calvin over a game of pool. The night was winding down and everyone was on their last beer of the night, when in walked Pam.

Pam looked around at who was there until she got sight of me and winked. She came & sat down in my section. I went over to her table to see what she was doing here.

"Hello Pam, and what can I do for you?"

"I'm just here to give you a message from Eric."

"And that is?"

"That Eric will be back from his visit with the King tomorrow, and asks if you could be his dance partner tomorrow night for a dance competition held at Fangtasia?"

"Sure I will be his dance partner tomorrow night, but I don't have anything to wear though."

"I will get you something and send it tomorrow afternoon for you."

"Sounds good and what time do I have to be there?"

"I will come pick you up at around seven thirty to head to Fangtasia."

"OK, see you tomorrow Pam."

"See you later my telepathic friend," and with that Pam left for the night.

Merlotte's was closing by then and everyone has gone home by now. So I cleaned up the tables, said good night to Sam, and headed on home to get a good night's sleep after the day I had.
