Chapter Twenty- Five

"Well, I must say you're a sight for my eyes." Pam nearly purred as Fiona came into Fangtasia. She wore a knee length red halter style dress. Her hair was straightened and hung loosely around her shoulders. Her heels added a good five inches to her height.

"Hey, Pam slow night?" Fiona smiled sweetly at her as she walked inside. She allowed her self to open up to Eric's vibes should he be anywhere near here. She was a bit relived and disappointed.

"Yeah, but you know how you humans are." Pam said as she appeared behind her and leaned in taking a good sniff of her." I knew you wouldn't be a virgin long once Eric laid eyes on you." Fiona fought the urge to roll her eyes as Pam smirked at her.

"So, did I." she said as they both gave a soft chuckle." Where's Chasity at tonight?" she needed to buy sometime while she though out her plan more clearly.

"She asked if she could have some one on one time with our dear friend Marcus." Pam stated with a shrug." She's been down there for an hour he stopped screaming about ten minutes ago." she sounded disappointed.

"Speaking of time with Marcus I was wondering if I could get some one on one time with him?" She had brought it up to Eric who had quickly shot her down, but she needed the time to get closer after all he had done to her.

"Did you hit your pretty little head when that wolf attacked you and have gone stupid?" Pam asked incredulously as she moved behind the bar.

"No, I didn't." she said as she sat across from Pam" Eric isn't here I could just slip in there have my time and slip out no one would know, but you, me and Chasity." Pam regarded her for a moment then busted out laughing.

"You have gone stupid, but I understand why you would want to close off that part of your past." She looked at her harshly once more before she sighed and came around the counter." If anyone finds you down there you went without my knowledge." she walked toward the back doors and Fiona followed her.

Fiona had rush of different feelings run through her the closer she got to the basement door. Pam turned toward her as she paused at the door. Pam didn't have to say a word the look she gave Fiona told her she was on her own. Pam turned and walked away leaving her to either walk in or walk away. The only sounds she could hear was footsteps coming up the stairs. It was Chasity she could feel her emotions before she even opened the door. She took a deep breath as Chasity looked up at her then behind her before putting her head down and walking away. Fiona turned slightly only to see Eric she opened her mouth, but he just shook his head.

"I have to do this." she said ready to fight with him.

"Just like I have to tell you no." he grabbed her arm intending to drag her away, but she dug her heels in.

"Eric, you of all people should understand why I must do this." she tried to pull away from his grip, but she couldn't.

"I do." he said as he shoved her into his office and shut the door." I truly understand why you feel like you have to do this, but I'm telling you because I know the person you are you won't be able to handle seeing him like that." she wanted to scream at him in outrage, but she knew he was right and god help her she would not let him know.

"I have to have closer Eric and until I see him I won't ever have that." she told him in a defeated tone.

"I want you to be safe and in doing so I will not let you go near that bastard." Eric told her flatly as he used the hand that held her arm to pull her closer to him." Besides I have other ideas for you." she tried to step back because she knew if he kissed her she wouldn't put up a fight and she had to do what she came here for.

"No, Eric this is not okay with me." she swallowed against the wash of desire that she felt. " I want to be able to move on and forget him once and for all." she met his eyes as her free hand came up to touch his cheek." I need to say my peace and hear his reasons for doing what he did. I promise to walk away once I have my closer." she felt his inner conflict. His protective need to keep her safe and his understanding her need to do this were battling."You have to trust me Eric. Trust that I can handle this even if it's not in my nature." he let go of her arm only to grabbed both sides of her face in his hands.

"You do this. You go down there see the condition that he is in and say whatever you feel you have to say then what? Can you walk away and trust me to handle the rest?" he asked her sincerely.

Trust me she thought about that as the conversation between her and Jason ran through her head. How could she trust him to handle the situation with Marcus when she couldn't even trust him enough to tell him the truth about her. He was torturing Marcus for the awful things he did what would he do her to if he knew the truth about her? He wouldn't torture her. No, he'd just outright kill her. A hunter was a danger to all supernatural beings and that meant a danger to himself. He would always protect his self above all. Maybe he wouldn't.
