A/N: Sorry about my previous Author Note… I just wanted to say again to everyone that has reviewed about my last message, Thank you every word has brought me back to the real reason why I write anything at all. It is not for myself, even though I do greatly enjoy it, but for all of you. "Hearing" someone say they enjoy your work is absolutely the best feeling in the world.
Listening to: See You In Hell by Monster Magnet.

I was not too sure on what had happened, but I could see a bright red light coming from the direction of my home.
"ERIC WAIT! What's going on?" he paused for a brief second before he finally put me down.
"It wasn't safe for you. I had to get you out of there first." Eric explained as he stared off into the distance.
"What do you mean first? You aren't going back right?" he looked down at me and pulled me close.
"Put this on it's cold and I'm not sure how long I will be." He handed me his jacket as he kissed me on my lips.
"Please don't go Eric."
He smiled down at me and said, "I love you Sookie Stackhouse." Then he disappeared into the vast darkness.
I called out to him, but to no avail. He was gone now and I had no idea what was going on. I always seemed to be stuck in the same situation and it was really starting to irritate me.
I found a fall tree nearby and sat as I snuggled in further to Eric's jacket that still had his smell embedded in it. I wondered how long this would take exactly. Sure I was worried about my house that I was almost positive was on fire at this very moment and about Eric, but I knew he could take care of it. Even with that said though a knot was starting to form as the minutes, hours passed by.
That is when I heard rustling behind me.
"W…Who's there?" after the words left my lips I realized how idiotic that had been. If it was a person I could have gotten away if I had not of said anything and well if it was a vampire… I was screwed no matter what.
"Sookie, it's alright. Eric sent me." The knots suddenly disappeared as soon as I heard Pam's voice and I would have run to her if I knew where she was.
"PAM I'M OVER HERE!"
"I know Sookie. Plus, you don't have to shout I'm right here." Sure enough when I turned around there she was.
I ran straight into her open arms. I had always felt comfortable around Pam for some reason, she felt like what a mother should be.
"Okay enough of that let's go."
"Go… Shouldn't we wait for Eric?" for a split second, I thought I saw a look of concern on her face, but it was quickly replaced with a smile. The knots returned throughout my entire body.
"Eric will be at Fangtasia before we even get to the house and then he will return to you." Why did it seem like she was trying to convince herself of this as well?
"If Eric is going to be at Fangtasia than that is where I will be."
"He told me to take you straight to the house." Now I was getting angry. She was hiding a lot more from me than I realized.
"When Eric returns it will be safe so I have every right to go to Fangtasia since it will be safe… Correct?" I could tell she really did not want to take me there, but she eventually gave in.
"Fine now grab on before my pumps get anymore ruined."
Surprisingly I laughed and said, "Just have Eric owe you."
"Believe me he will." And we were off. I was not sure if she intended on running the whole way to Fangtasia, but I did not really care either way I just wanted to see Eric.
"Get in." it was a beautiful red mustang. I could not tell you the year though; I had absolutely no knowledge of vehicles.
Before I was even able to close the door, Pam took off into the night.
"In a hurry?"
"No, Not really I just love this car." I watched as her speedometer climbed to 80, 90,100,110 then I had to look away because I was sure that the needle would break off at any moment. I did not really need to know the speed anyway.
"Pam…"
"What is it now?" she asked not taking her eyes away from the road.
"What is going on exactly?" her speed slowed, but not much or for very long.
"I do not know, Sookie." She looked over at me with that same concerned look I had thought I had imagined before.
"Will…Eric is alright."
"Of course he is!" She said this with so much certainty I could not help, but doubt her word.
For the rest of the way we drove in complete silence. This would have been nice if my thoughts had not run wild with the worst possible scenarios.
"FINALLY!" I screamed as I jumped out of the car and ran to the entrance of Fangtasia. Pam called after me, but I needed to make sure Eric was safe first.
I ran past the various people dancing and drinking as I hurried towards Eric's office. I was so sure he would be sitting in his chair when I opened the door I bust in and said, "ERIC HOW COULD…"
He was not there.
"I am sure he is just running a little late."
"Running late? What the fuck is that?" Pam had not expected me to explode on her and before she could say more, I shoved her out of the office. She had to of understood.
I curled up on his chair that we had, had sex on numerous times and pulled his jacket on me that was now losing his smell.
A/N: Amazed I updated so quickly? Me too… Two reasons why… One my new obsession WAS Dead Like Me, but when that person reviewed and said what she did it kind of ruined it for me. Two I am about to start reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels again. Though I do not want to read the parts with Bill, I cannot just skip around.
Well hope everyone enjoyed this chapter… Actually, you probably did not and are starting to worry about poor innocent Eric, but my lips are sealed.
