Pam stood in the doorway of her master's office, not sure what had just transpired. He was gone? Where was he? She still felt a slight humming in the back of her mind which let her know that he was around, and plausibly okay. However, that did nothing to help her know where and what happened. After she had attacked Hallow, which didn't go as planned, as Hallow had essentially been like sand through her fingers, and had escaped.

Here she was, three hours later, no Eric, no Hallow... no clue.

Then, from no where, she felt a pang in her heart, and emotions she didn't recognize coming through the bond she had with Eric. Namely fear and agony, with a strong sense of uncertainty, wherever he has, he was facing something he didn't know how to deal with...

Sookie faced Eric, with a million thoughts racing through her mind. She didn't want him to attack. She didn't think her request for him to leave her had angered him enough to attack her, at least she hoped not. She didn't know why, Eric was crouched before her in an attack pose. Hoping that some assemblance of the blood she had shared with Eric would be enough, she tried to feel emotionally calm. Which isn't easy with death staring you in the face!

Step one, she thought, step out of the car, and walk close, but stop a short distance away, the moment he saw her, he would relent. She flashed back to the moment, before Eric had taken her blood in the presence of Russel, he cared, even just a little, and she did obviously get up from her couch to rescue him, when Bill had informed her of his deed. She hoped this would be enough.

Sookie, got up, and walked to the front of her car and stood still for a moment.

"Stop!" Eric said in a strange tone, Sookie had never heard before.

".. But Eric, it's me, what's going on?"

Eric just looked at Sookie like she was the most strange and foreign thing he had ever observed.

What was going on, Eric thought to himself, I must run, keep running, or 'they' will get me. Who are 'they' ? Why are they coming after me?... Who is me? What the **** ... then all of a sudden Eric heard a low rumbling moving towards him, and light appearing around the bend, he instinctively crouched into an attack position. The realization quickly hit him, I am Vampire!

The object appeared to be a metal box with wheels, at least he somehow knew that those objects were wheels. He felt something else, emotions, but they couldn't be his, they were exhaustion, confusion, and a bitter resentment?

This person, opened the box.. car... he know knew, and walked towards him and stopped in front of her car. He didn't know what she was about to do, but he needed to figure out something, he could attack her, she seemed sort of human... but unsure he simply looked at her, and told her to stop.

What did she just say? Who is Eric? is she referring to me? She must be, I see no one else, so I am Eric? not sure, he felt he must first confirm some things with this individual before anything else. He especially needed to ascertain if she was a threat or not.

"Woman.. you say my name is Eric?"

She looked at him with a mixed expression... "obviously..."

So she felt that this was a point beyond discussion... well "I do not know... if this is true or not... I do not know who you are either, clarify this!"

Instantly she looked upset and annoyed, "Eric, I don't have time for this crap, if you really want to talk I can, but can you quit with the theatrics already I just want to go to bed, I'm tired, and I really don't know what your problem is!"

Eric considering that there was some sort of bond, because he could feel her annoyance ceased his crouch and stood up straight.

"Oh ERIC! what have you done" she walked towards him.. "You're bleeding, your feet, your arms, what happened?"

" I don't know"

"You said you didn't know what happened either"

"Yes, I don't know, I've said this."

Sookie paused, "Eric if you promise no funny business, I will take you home, and help you, but you have to promise me, okay?"

With little options before him, and the fact that he felt he could defend him self, he said "Okay, no 'funny business' " (not knowing what that means, but getting the gist of it from her tone...)

Sookie, put her had on his arm, and he instantly felt a strange comfort move over him, something which said that she, was the person to follow...

Sookie thought to herself, that here she was again, being pulled into the world of Vampires, the one she specifically had escaped to the fae world to get away from, that and her intense loneliness. Yet, of all the Vampires, Eric, at least she thought, she had a small obligation to help- he did save her on a number of occasions, even if it was for his own reasons.

She put her hand on his arm, and led him to her car, where she ensured that he got in alright. Upon placing her had on his arm, she also realized that he was incredibly cold, with a natural concern she placed a blanked she kept in the back of her car over his shoulders. She than walked to her side of the car, tuned up the heat, and began to finish her drive home.

As she drove, she first had to bite her lower lip, to hold in a sort of dark humor laugh... but it escaped her, and Eric looked at her, concerned.

"I just thought I would have had at least a break... I'm so tired, Fae helped, but I needed to come back home, find out what's happening with Jason and such, and I didn't even know where to begin with you... but life has a way of bringing things forward, whether you want to deal with them or not I suppose..."

As she finished her explanation for her laugh to Eric, she had just finished pulling up and parking in her driveway.

She told Eric how to get out of the car, and they walked towards her front porch, up the stairs. She got out her key and stepping into her house, placing her keys and bag on a near by table, trying to decide what to do first. All of a sudden she realized that she was alone in her foyer, and looked back only to realize that she had rescinded Eric's invitation at the bar, when she has rescinded all of their... invitations.

"Eric, you may come in"

Eric slowly tested the barrier, and walked into her house, it was at that moment she realized that his feel were worse, and bare, bleeding.. he needed help. His clothes were dirty and torn, and she didn't even want to get started on his forlorn facial expression. Without saying anything, she walked towards him, took his hand and led him into the bathroom, where she instructed him to take his clothes off so that they could be washed, and to wear the bath robe, on the back of the door. She waited outside the bathroom as he did this, she was trying to think about what she could do, but her actions had turned robotic, so much so, that when Eric opened the door to pass her the dirty clothes, in a robe that hid little, she simply informed him to wait, and that she would be back in a moment. After adding his clothes to the laundry, she stopped by the hall closet to get out a first aid kid, and continued back to the bathroom.

"Eric, I think I need to run some water, I want you to sit on the edge of the tub, and put your feet in, we need to clean them, so the wounds will heal, alright? "

Eric understood, and simply placed his feet on the edge of the tub, with his tall proportions though, this was not the most comfortable.

Sookie ran the water, and added a small amount of soap, before she began to clean his feet. As this happened, Eric realized that this must be a good person, who else would pick him up off the street and care for him like this. He needed to know more about her... well really he needed to more about everything.

When she was done, she had instructed him to stay for a moment, while she went to retrieve some clothes for him. She knew that Jason had a few things here in the house, and something had to work, eventually she found a large t-shirt, and some old basketball shorts, they weren't much, but she didn't think anything else would fit Eric.

She brought the clothes to him, and told him, to come out when he was changed.

Sookie walked back to the kitchen, she needed to figure out what to do, she sat at her kitchen table, and began to think, when he stood at the entrance of the kitchen.

"Eric, come sit, we need to figure out what's going on..."

Eric thought to himself, he couldn't agree more.

Pam unsure of what to do, or where to go had an idea... maybe everything is okay, and he just made a dramatic exit so that he could once again check on Sookie. She knew her master would do anything to be around her, but this seemed a little far fetched. Would he really go to all the trouble to choreograph such an exist?

Well, there was only one way to find out. After ensuring that the bar was closed, and that all was fine, she began to make her way to Bon Temps.
