Eric.
For six months that's been the first word on my tongue in the morning, and the last thought in my mind before the fiendish hands of my nightmares tear me apart during sleep.
It's my fault that he's gone, that no one can find him. I knew exactly what he was going to do to that bastard, and I didn't get to him in time. I could have stopped him. I could have grabbed him and made him stop, even knocked some sense into him.
But I didn't.
And now, everywhere I look, I see him. But he's not the same man I remember, the man I love. His expression is dark and haunted, accusing me of crimes that I committed by not stopping him. He reaches for me, and sometimes I want to go with him, just so I can be with him.
Then the logical side of my mind reminds me that this is only a figment of my tortured imagination, that Eric is alive out there somewhere, needing me to find him. His ex wife gave up months ago, assuming that he just ran off with some piece of trash junkie. But I know better. He would never do that.
I know that he was taken, which is why I can never stop looking for him. Even as the days slip by, and with them his chances of survival. Even against everything that everyone says, I cannot give up hope that one day I'll see him again.
It's the only thing that keeps me going, really.
Some say that I'm losing my grip on reality, but I know I'm not. I'll be normal again, one day.
But until then, I'll keep seeing Eric, in my dreams and in the bright light of day. And maybe that's a good thing, because it seems to be the only thing that keeps me hanging on.
He's out there, somewhere, and I'm going to find him.
Eric.
The End.
A/N: I've never written Saw fanfic, but after watching the first three movies again in the same day, I felt compelled to write this from Allison Kerry's POV. (Eric's partner) I thought it would be a nice change of pace, and I really hope everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for reading, and please remember to review... The game has just begun...
