I must say that I laughed out loud at many of the reviews. As a whole, most of you were very angry with Pam. But Pam is a special person, she does what she thinks is right without thinking about the whole picture sometimes and she really doesn't understand Eric and Sookie's relationship because she has never been in one herself.

Now Eric is very upset and in true Vampire form he acts first and thinks later. So try not to be too hard on him. As you know, eventually, Sookie will put him in his place….

Short and sweet….enjoy!

Chapter 11

After Eric finished cleaning Sookie's most addictive scented blood from the floor and disposed of the bloody rags, he went to check on Sookie. She appeared to be sleeping peacefully. He then quickly exited the room to go in search of Pam. As he descended the stairs he found two Weres standing on either side of the stairs at the bottom. He told them not to allow anyone but him to go upstairs. The guards nodded and said that was the orders they had been given by the King. Eric then asked where Pam was and he was told she had been taken to the vampire restraining quarters located in the basement. After receiving directions to the basement, Eric quickly left to find Pam.

Pam sat quietly and proudly in the straight chair in the center of the cell. She had silver chains around her ankles chaining her to the floor. The vampires had wrapped her ankles with a thick padding before putting the chains on so they would keep her put but not burn her skin. After the blood lust had released its hold on her body, Pam had remembered what she had done. Pam knew Eric was furious with her. She could feel it in the bond and she did not know what she was going to say to her maker to get herself out of this mess.

Pam looked up as she felt her maker enter the cell. As Pam looked into the eyes of her father, friend, brother and lover she realized the mess she was truly in. She had never in her entire existence been on the receiving end of the look in her makers eyes at that moment. Pam feared she may be meeting her final death this night.

Pam remained still and quiet as she felt the waves of pure anger roll off of Eric. Bloody tears began to pool in her eyes as she felt the disgust and condemnation through their bond. Pam had messed up before and Eric had punished her for it but he had always still felt compassion even during his punishment. There was no compassion there now. Pam felt totally alone for the first time in her vampire existence.

"Would you care to explain why you went to Sookie's room? Can you explain why you went against my orders that NO vampire was to enter her room? Why would MY CHILD disrespect my orders and go against my wishes? Can you tell me WHY!" Eric roared.

Bloody tears began to fall down Pam's face and she made no move to wipe them away. She did not have an answer that Eric wanted to hear. She did not know what to say. It was useless. There were no words to take back her actions.

As Eric watched her sit silently he began to circle her as he spoke. "Have I not given you everything you ever needed since I took you to be by my side? Have I not spent the last two centuries teaching you all you needed to know to be a powerful vampire? Did I not spend over a 1,000 years walking this earth from the guidance of my maker who spent over 2,000 years on this earth? Have I ever forced you to do anything without a just reason?" Eric paused in questions for a moment as he continued to walk around Pam who still remained unmoving and quiet in the center of the room.

"You have nothing to say?" He paused once again to give Pam a chance to reply. Pam again sat perfectly still and said nothing.

"Fine, you want to say nothing, then you will listen to me very carefully. You will cease to be in contact with Sookie. You will not be within the same city limits as she is at ANY point. You will not call and speak to her and you will in no way try to contact her. As I plan to be by Sookie's side for the next near 100 years then you will not be by my side. If you come so close that I can sense you, I will kill you on the spot." Eric hissed.

Pam gasped as she realized her maker's intentions. Eric was banishing her from his side. Pam would not be allowed to stand by her maker's side. Pam looked up into Eric's eyes pleadingly. As more tears began to fall she finally opened her mouth, "Eric…" she began to plead.

"SILENCE!" Eric roared. "I gave you a chance to speak and you did not. Now you will only listen!" Eric stopped in front of Pam and leaned down to look directly into her bloody eyes. "I have found my chosen mate in Sookie. There will be no other. And if it comes to you or Sookie, there is no choice. It will be Sookie. It will ALWAYS be Sookie!"

At that last statement, Eric stood and turned and walked out of the cell and back up the stairs never sparing her a second glance. Shortly later two vampires entered and unchained her ankles. Pam was escorted back upstairs, through the front door, and out the gate of the complex. As the gates closed behind Pam she realized that she was truly alone. Her maker had banished her and as he would surely die before her, Pam realized she would walk the earth alone.

Eric returned upstairs and found Sookie still sleeping soundly. Eric heard a slight tap on the doorframe behind him and he turned. Three Weres stood in the door and one carried a tool box and the other held a new door. They were there to repair the damage done to the door upon Eric crashing into the room to save Sookie. Eric nodded to them and they quickly began their work to repair the damage. Eric stood silently and gazed at Sookie's sleeping form as he felt his child mover further and further away from him.

After the Weres repaired the door they closed the door and left the floor. Eric moved to the door to lock it and then he walked in the bathroom to strip and shower the remaining blood from his own body. After toweling dry, Eric climbed into bed with Sookie and pulled her into his arms. Sookie moaned slightly, not in pain but in pleasure, and buried her head into Eric's shoulder and continued to sleep soundly.
