Well, I am sorry for the delay on this one, but as many of you know, I have been extremely busy with writing other chapters for LDIDMW, setting up my wordpress account (mscathywilson. wordpress . com where I post all of my stories, rants, pictures, ramblings and maybe even a chapter or two ahead of what is on here … JSYK), reading the 50 shades of Grey trilogy and reading fanfics.

But, oh well.

Also, in another note, I updated a chapter the other day, and I was really, really disappointed to find that even though there were a lot of people reading the chapter, only one person reviewed – thanks to Millarca666, and I just wanted to say, that if I keep getting very few reviews for my chapters, I am likely to lose my mojo, and stories won't be updated so often, so bottom line is reviews = chapters …

Here we are now …

Enjoy!

"Northman" I said when I answered the phone. Whoever it was better have a really good fucking excuse for ringing me.

"It's Alcide" said the voice on the other end of the line.

"What do you want, wolf" I said, my patience just about running out.

"I just want to let you know that Russell Edgington has somehow managed to escape from where you buried him" he said.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

"Alright Alcide … Thanks for letting me know" I said, and then hung up without saying goodbye.

"What is wrong, Eric? Tell me … lean on me .." Sookie said, but before I was able to answer her, Pam suddenly came flying in at vampire speed, and only stopped moving about five metres away from Sookie and I.

Sookie suddenly rushed away to put some clothes on. I didn't bother.

"It's true!" she said.

"What's true?" I asked her.

"King Bill phoned me earlier to tell me that you two were together now. I thought he was lying, but obviously not." She said, and I stepped forward, wrapping my arms around her.

"Pam … I want you to listen to me" I said, pulling back but keeping both of hands on either one of her shoulders. Reluctantly, she looked up into my eyes, and I was able to feel through the bond that she was feeling a little rejected and as if she were second best.

"Pam … you will never be second best to me, you will always be my progeny. My child." I told her, trying to soothe her.

"But what about Sookie? I feel like the love you once had for me is all for Sookie now" she said, and I thought I detected a little sniffle in there.

I had never ever seen Pam cry or even come close to crying.

"Pam … I will always love you. No matter what happens between me and Sookie, I will always have love in me for you. There is just love in me for Sookie as well now." I told her, and she nodded slightly.

"Come here" I said, and once more wrapped my arms around her.

Sometimes Pammy just needed a hug, and we were still in an embrace when Sookie came back into the room, this time fully dressed.

"Can I talk to Sookie alone for a second, please?" Pam said, wiping her bloody tears away from her eyes.

"Of course. Call me when you are finished talking" I said, and after giving Pam one final hug, I went then at vampire speed to put some clothes on before stepping outside. I debated for a few moments on what I was going to do while my girls had their chat.

I decided that I would go for a run, whilst I tried to figure out what I was going to do about the Russell Edgington debacle.

"Is everything alright, Pam?" I asked, and sat down in one of the chairs in the living room.

"I just really want to talk to you about something" Pam replied, sounding nothing like the Pam that I was used to.

"Sit down, Pam, make yourself more comfortable" I said, knowing that whatever she was about to say was making her extremely uncomfortable. And she also didn't want to say it in front of Eric.

This had to be something about Eric and me.

"I don't get why you are still so nice to me, especially after I tried to kill you outside Moon Goddess Emporium." She said, and I could see that her eyes were once more filling with tears – well, blood – to be more exact.

I reached her a paper hankie from the table behind me.

"What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" I asked her.

"I have been with Eric for over one hundred years, and the first time that I ever saw him truly happy was the night that you walked into Fangtasia with Bill. For one hundred years, I have been the only person who has been with him all of the time. When you first came into Fangtasia, I saw a spark flash between the two of you, and as time went on, I saw Eric fall further and further in love with you. I tried to kill you because I …. Because I was jealous that I would never have the kind of relationship with Eric that you have with him. I was jealous because I thought that somehow, the love that he once had for me, was now being directed towards you. I thought that I had lost him for good, especially after I saw the way that he looked at you when he was cursed." Pam said.

"Pam … sweetie … come here" I said, and got up out of the chair that I was sitting in and went over to the sofa. I wrapped my arms around her. "No matter what happens with me and Eric, I know that I could never ever come between you two guys, nor would I ever want to." I told her.

"I know that now … when Bill rang me tonight to tell me that you two had gotten back together, I was so upset … I thought I had lost him forever" she said.

"Pam … no you haven't lost him, you could never lose him" I said.

"I know that now, Sookie. I know that … but please forgive me for everything I have done to you, please" she begged.

How very un-Pam-like.

"Of course, I can forgive you. I have already forgiven you." I said.

"Thank you, Sookie, but rest assured, if you ever do anything to hurt Eric, I will kill you" she said.

"I wouldn't expect anything else" I smiled, and Pam just laughed at me.

So … review to let me know what you think …
