"You plan on what?" I ask Eric.
"I want to see your soulmate mark." He says as if it's obvious.
"I don't get how that is any of your business." I say while we are flying somewhere "And where are we going?"
"We are going to my house" He says, "We shall see if it really is my business."
We finally arrive at this cute two-story house. He walks in the door. I follow him and close the door behind me. I notice there are a surprising number of windows.
"Why are there so many windows? I thought vampires died in the sun." I tell him.
"They do. They are UV proof." He says. "Now show me your soulmate mark."
"Um, that's a little personal." I tell him.
He walks up to me. I step back. "Please, show me." He says.
I shake my head at him. "Alright, I will make you a deal. You show me your's and I'll show you mine. He tells me.
"You have one too." I say.
"Yes, I think she is long dead though." He says emotionless.
"It's said that when you lose your soulmate you feel a part of your soul get ripped out and you feel that emptiness for the rest of your life." I tell him.
"I'm a vampire. It's different." He tells me.
"Alright" I say. I pull my pants down to show my hip to him. It says Eric. He gasps and pulls his pants down to show me the exact same hip. It says Charlotte.
"I found you." Eric says. He pulls me into his arms and just holds me. "I have dreamed about this moment since I was a child. When I became a vampire,
I didn't think it would be possible anymore. But here you are. You came into my club. You came to me. I had given up searching and so fate sent you to me." He almost seemed to be talking to himself. I have tears rolling down my face. I had kind of given up on finding my Eric.
How you know someone is your soul mate is having their name on your body in a birth mark. They have your name on there body. It also has to be in the exact same place. I didn't know vampires had soulmates, but it would make sense. I know there are people who believe they are from the devil, but what if they are the next step in the evolution chain. I am happy I did find my soul mate. I know he will look after me.
"I still have to llook after Adele." I blurt out.
"What?" He asks
"Adele, Sookie's grandmother. Adele is a good friend of my family's. I can't just leave her high and dry." I start to panic "I also have Demetrius. I can't leave him."
Eric growls "Who is this, Demetrius?" He asks.
"You're jealous," I bug him "Demetrius is my puppy."
"You have a dog?" he asks
"Yeah, I do." I tell him.
"Don't worry you won't have to leave anything behind. We can move Adele and your puppy into here and look after her together." He suggests.
"I don't want to move in right away." I tell him
"Why not? We are soul mates." He says confused.
"I want to try dating first. I want to see how we fit together. Get a groove before we push for more." I tell him. "My parents are soul mates and that is how they did it. I have never seen a love like theirs's ever before."
"I will respect that," he says. "I should get you home."
He steps out of the house. I just realized Pam is no longer with us.
"Where is Pam?" I ask shocked.
He chuckles. "She went home. She will go back to the club when the police clear out, to clean up."
He walks us to his car and opens the door for me. I get in and he shuts the door behind me. The next second, he is beside me and starting the car. We start to drive to my house. I know he knows where I live. I bet Pam told him and with his vampire memory he would remember that. We drive silently, while he is holding my hand over the center console. He is rubbing his thumb across the back of my hand.
We finally get back to Adele's place. I see the light is on.
"Bill is still inside." Eric says.
"Okay," I tell him.
"Would you like to come in and meet Demetrius?" I ask him as I hear barking.
He goes and opens my door offering his hand to help me out of the car. I take his hand and step out of the car. I head into the house inviting Eric in behind me. Adele is up in the kitchen with Sookie and Bill. Demetrius is dancing around the kitchen. He runs up to me.
"Hey, baby boy." I say to him. I kneel on the ground and take him in my arms. Eric kneels on the ground beside me.
"Is this your little guy?" He asks. He seems to be showing so much affection. He reaches out his hand for Demetrius to smell. Deme bumps his head in his hand. He pets Deme. I think those two will be thick as thieves in no time. I have an odd feeling Deme will have his own throne beside Eric by next week. Deme flips over on his back and Eric starts to scratch his belly. He seems to be really getting into it. I am really happy to see both my boys getting along so well. All that's left is Adele.
"What is Eric doing here?" Sookie screeches, interrupting my thoughts. Well clearing this will not start out well. I stand to my full height. Eric does to beside me holding Deme in his arms. I can tell Eric is getting ready to protect both Deme and I, from any harm.
