Chapter 2:

After an eternity, well actually it was maybe a minute, of feeling like an insect under a microscope, Pam reentered the office saying: ''Who's the doll?'' She then sat beside Eric on his desk. Great, now there's two of them looking at me like I'm some sort of science project.

''Pam this is Karine. She's coming with me to Dallas tomorrow.'' Pam raised an eyebrow looking at him questioningly. They then had a little discussion in Swedish, that I didn't get except for jag meaning I, du meaning you and hon meaning she, presumably me. It was kinda rude and I felt very out of place, then suddenly Pam left and Eric said: ''You're going to go with Pam, be ready tomorrow at 9pm.''

Just as he finished his sentence Pam reappeared with a pair of pink UGG boots that she dropped at my feet. ''Here, put these on.'' She said.

I bent down and tried them on. ''Thanks.'' They were a little big but it was better than being barefoot.

Eric then threw some keys at Pam that she caught and then she said: ''Come with me.'' I looked back at Eric before following her out of Fangtasia. She led me to Eric's red corvette and we both got in. She then started driving away. After a while she drawled: ''So… Tell me more about yourself.'' That's weird Pam wanting to know more about someone, then it clicked Eric probably asked her to get information out of me.

Let's humor her. ''Well, my name's Karine. I'm a 20 year old vegan who speak French and English, umm, I enjoy reading, astronomy and good movies.'' She seemed exasperated which made me laugh a little. ''But that's probably not what you want to know so… Ask what you do want to know and I'll answer if I can.''

''Hmmm, Eric mentioned that you know things. What sort of things?''

I sighed, well I can't say what'll happen but I say what already happened... ''Hmmm, yes, well, I saw how you were made vampire. When you cut open your wrists and gave Eric your ultimatum of turning you or watching you die.'' She seemed to freeze a little but that didn't last more than a second.

She then said: ''We're here.'' We were parked in the parking lot of a shopping mall. Guess with vampires and all that in this world, stores changed their schedules and opened later to accommodate them.


Several stores and a much needed lunch break later, Pam took me to a drug store for some shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, tooth brush, etc. I was looking at some Cover girl mascara when suddenly I wasn't in the drugstore anymore.

I was standing outside, the sky was lit with stars and I standing in front of Eric who was dressed in all black. I was wearing a white tank top, dark jeans shorts and black converse shoes, my hair was tied up in a bun and I also felt a weight on my back and realized it was a backpack. Suddenly Eric took hold of me and told me to hold tight and so I wrapped my legs around his waist and buried my head in his chest while clutching like crazy onto his neck. I felt him give a slight chuckle and then without warning I felt him took off into the sky, then as fast as it came I was back in the drugstore.

I realized that during my little episode I dropped the little basket with my items in it and the mascara I was observing. When I looked up I saw that Pam was looking at me intrigued. ''What happened?'' She asked.

Yeah, what was that? Am I becoming crazy or, maybe, just maybe, I saw the future…? It was so vivid and clear I could even feel the small breeze blowing like I was living it and the things I was wearing were some of the things I just bought with Pam. Oh, well there's only one way to find out. ''Well, ummm, hey Pam, ummm, do you know how, ummm, Eric and I will get to Dallas?'' If she says that he'll fly us there then, bingo, I just saw the future and that would be soooo cool. When she just continued to stare at me I asked: ''Is he, ummm I mean, will he fly us there, I mean like, umm, like not in a plane like? Cause, I just, like, saw that…''

She raised an eyebrow at that, signal for me to wait a minute, took out her phone and called someone, presumably Eric. When he answered she talked to him in Swedish and then passed me the phone saying: ''He wants to talk to you.'' I don't know why but I felt self-conscious talking to Eric and felt myself blush, maybe it's the fact that I'm shy around hot guys even if said guy is on the phone and can't see me.

I took the phone and said: ''Ummm, hello?''

''Pam tells me you just saw the future…'' He lets his sentence hanging so I assume he expect me to confirm or deny or something.

''Yeah, well, I think I did… It never happened before…'' I answered not sure. It never happened before of course since I lived in a world where supernatural didn't exist.

''What did you see exactly?'' He asked.

I felt myself blush again as I remembered how close I was to him. ''Well, we were outside, you and me and I was wearing some of the clothes Pam and I just bought and you told me to hold tight to you and I did and then you took off into the sky…'' He made a contemplative noise and then requested that I put Pam back on the phone.

They had another small chat in Swedish while Pam observed me curiously. I started to feel uneasy under her stare and so I grabbed the basket I dropped and put everything back in. Then I changed aisle, away from Pam scrutinizing gaze and resumed where I left off, selecting some tooth paste. Pam then joined me after she finished talking to Eric and said: ''Are you almost done?'' She asked in a bored tone.

''Yeah, let's go.'' She then paid for everything and we went back to the car. Once in, I turned on the radio and 'Don't trust me by 3oh3' came on. I started to dance a little in my seat while Pam just rolled her eyes and continued driving.

Maybe, I'd say 15 minutes later, Pam stopped the car in front of a gorgeous white mansion. We got out of the car and before I could ask anything Pam said: ''It's Eric's house.''


The inside was beautiful but a little too Vikingy and un-vegan for my taste with all the fur throws and Viking artifacts everywhere. After putting our bags down Pam gave me a brief tour of the house.

''And this is where Eric sleeps.'' She said referring to a door leading to the basement. ''You do not go there, under any circumstances, understood.'' I nodded. ''Good, now…''She looked at me like she wanted to eat me or something then her phone rang. Saved by the bell, she looked at it then said: ''Gotta run. Ciao.'' And just like that she was gone.

It's so weird but awesome seeing for real how fast a vampire can move, I mean I've seen it on TV but in real life it's so much more, I don't know, awesome. I decided to lay on one of Eric's white couch in his living room and reflect on what happened since I woke up here. Like the fact that I met real life vampires and also the fact that I changed size, going from 5.7 feet tall to barely 5.2. I thought about the vision I had earlier and the fact that I'm probably not normal, maybe I'm like Sookie part something. That would be so awesome.


I woke up in a big fluffy black bed in a dark blue room that looked nothing like my bedroom at home. So yay I'm still in True Blood! But what's weird is that I don't remember leaving the living room. Maybe Eric brought me here. I looked at the time 4:23 pm, oh well I slept in, I then decided to go take a shower. When that was done I dressed like in my 'vision', white tank top and dark blue jean shorts then I brushed my teeth and hair.

I tied my hair in a bun and went downstairs to eat something as I looked in the fridge I found out that there was nothing except a couple bottles of True Blood, I signed what am I to eat I'm no vampire. I then turned around and saw on the counter some money and a note. I picked it up and on it I read different restaurants all of which didn't appear vegan to me and a grocery store with some phone numbers. I picked up the phone dialed the grocery store number. It was weird doing groceries by phone but oh well.

After maybe half an hour the door bell rang and I went to answer it. There stood a woman with 3 bags full of groceries. I smiled, paid her and went to put the food away in the fridge and cupboards while singing and dancing. Once that was done I decided to make myself something to eat since I was starved. I decided to make myself the frozen Tofurky pepperoni and cheese pizza and a strawberry crumble. I started the pizza but decided to wait for the crumble.

I ate my pizza wondering what'll happen once we get to Dallas and what it will be like to fly and how Godric will be in real life and…

Once I was done I did my dishes and put them away to dry all the while singing and dancing. I didn't see the time pass and soon it was dark outside without me noticing and so I continued to sing and dance as I prepared my crumble.

I was mixing the ingredients together facing away from the door when I heard: ''Well, don't you have a lovely voice.'' I jumped almost dropping my bowl and blushed embarrassed. ''Don't stop on my account I was just on my way out.'' I turned around to face him. He was exactly like in my vision all dressed in black.

Then I remembered the fact that I didn't wake up where I'd fallen asleep and so I said: ''Ummm, thanks for bringing me to bed last night.'' When I realized how it sounded, I blushed furiously while he just smirked and raised an eyebrow amused. ''You know what I mean.'' I said trying to defend myself.

''You're welcome. See you at 9pm in front of the house.'' And just like that he disappeared. The oven beeped signaling it was hot and so I turned back to what I was doing and hurriedly finished my crumble. Once it was in the oven I did the dished and went back in the bathroom to apply some blush and mascara while it cooked. Just as I finished the timer went off signaling the crumble was ready. I took it out of the oven and set it aside to cool off.

I then went upstairs and started to pack for this trip. When I was done I looked at the time. Damn I won't have the time to eat the crumble it was 8:53. Oh, well. I got my shoes on and made my way outside with my backpack on my back. And just as I stepped down the stairs out the house, Eric flew down in front of me startling the life out of me. He then asked with his trademark smirk: ''Ready to go?'' I simply nodded and shyly got closer to him.

He then suddenly, like in my 'vision' took hold of me and told me to hold tight. I then wrapped my legs around his waist and buried my head in his chest, while clutching like crazy onto his neck. Like in my vision I felt him give a slight chuckle and without warning I felt him took off into the sky toward Dallas and Godric.
