A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews/favourites/follows. Hope you enjoy the updates :) Once again, anything recognisable is from the series but I have changed it to suit my purposes x
Eric raised an eyebrow as the cars pulled up outside of the Yakonomo Corporation's Headquarters.
"It's very kind of you to give us such special treatment," he drawled lazily, "but I'm not all that interested in Tru Blood."
His captors ignored him as they exited the car, pulling him with them. Eric suppressed an angry growl as he watched Pam be half carried, half dragged from the car in front.
More of the dark veins had been exposed across her upper body and she staggered under the weight of the silver, gasping with pain. She caught Eric's eye and attempted to regain her footing as her captors practically carried her inside.
Eric clenched his jaw and followed along behind her.
He was surprised as they were taken up several levels before being taken into a room with a large window that looked out across the city.
Both vampires were placed unceremoniously on chairs behind a small table, facing the window. Pam let out a small sigh of relief as she sat down and Eric resisted the urge to take her hand.
As they were secured to the chairs with even more silver, one of the men stepped forward with a clock. He set it for just over seven hours and placed it in front of them on the table.
"Time until dawn," he announced with a bow as the men left them alone, banging the door closed behind them.
"Our first sunrise together," Eric commented drily as he looked over at Pam, she gave him a small smile in return.
"How romantic," she replied with a hint of sarcasm.
Eric sniggered, as he looked back towards the window, "If I was trying for romance, I would have chosen a better setting," he said finally, glancing back at Pam.
Pam raised a questioning eyebrow.
"No chains for a start," Eric said decisively, "and I would take you home," he continued, staring off into the middle distance as he warmed up to his theme. "Up into the mountains where we could watch the sunrise from a proper vantage point," he smiled, lost in his fantasy, "but when the moment came, I doubt I'd let you see it," he admitted, looking over at her.
"Spoilsport," she teased.
"Realist," he countered seriously, "what would I do in a world without you?"
"Find Sookie?" she suggested.
Eric pulled a face at her, "Finding Sookie would be the last thing on my mind," he informed her. He looked away, "If I lost you, I wouldn't be far behind," he said quietly.
Pam regarded him for a long moment, "I couldn't imagine a world without you in it," she confessed quietly.
Eric looked over at her and, grimacing from the pain, shifted so that he could move his bound hands enough to take one of her hands in his own.
"Whether we meet the True Death today, tomorrow or never, I will never leave you," he told her, looking her straight in the eye.
Pam gave him a teary smile, "Promise?"
He nodded, "I promise."
He gave her hand a small squeeze before releasing it and shifting back into a more comfortable position in his seat, "But we're not going to die tonight," he said resolutely, "they've kept us alive for a reason."
Pam's brow creased, "What do you suppose that reason is?"
Eric shrugged a shoulder, "Best guess? Sarah Newlin."
"What would they want with her?"
Eric looked over at her, "We can't be the only ones who want her dead."
Pam pursed her lips, "It's a small world after all," she commented drily.
