Chapter 32: Fluff and Lemons this chapter.
"Eric? What the hell was that?" I asked him, watching the woman and her people leave the bar as quickly as they could.
"You can't be here. You need to go home Oliver." He said, getting up out of his chair and heading for his office. Pam followed him, as did I.
"Well I bloody well am here! Why the hell did I almost pass out from pain earlier Eric? What happened?" I pressed the issue, not caring if he got upset with me. I wasn't his slave and I didn't have to go until I was damn near ready to leave.
"You have to leave Oliver. I did something really bad tonight and Russell Edgington should be making an appearance soon. You can't be here when he does." He sat down behind his desk. The last place we had been together and tried to ignore me.
"Eric what is goin on here? You need to tell us." Pam pleaded with her maker.
"Pam, Whatever the authority decides to do here I will not allow you to take any responsibility." He told her. He reached up and pressed a towel to his ear, wiping the bleeds from his neck.
"You did not kill the magister." She said, leaning over his desk.
"Politically I am a much cleaner scape goat. It's easier to pin it on me. If the search Russell's palace they will find the remains of his lover." His eyes shifted back to me as he spoke.
"What did he do to you?" She asked him softly. To be honest it was the first softness I had seen of Pam in the short time I had known her.
"Nothing." He lied, "But he was the nearest thing to Russell Edgington's heart. He had. To die."
"A hundred years I've been with you. Why haven't you ever said anything about all this? Russell.. Your family?" She questioned. But I knew. It was personal.
"You didn't need to know." He said to her, "What good would it do to share my pain with you?" I plopped down on the leather sofa and stared at him, arms over my chest as usual.
"You didn't need to carry it all by yourself." She took his hand and held it a minute before releasing it.
"I am not weak." He said sternly, pulling away. "My sister and I were sole survivors of that thing out there. The burden is ours and ours alone."
"It's just our way." I said, agreeing with him. "It is also why I am not going anywhere."
"We've lived through so much, for so long. It just can't end this quickly." Pam said sadly, getting up from the desk.
"Everything ends, eventually." He whispered, staring at me now. "If I can't go on. You must make a new vampire." He told her, looking up from his desk at me. "It is your time to become a maker. You can protect what I leave behind."
"No. I refuse to let you go." She argued, "And her? I hate her. You know that."
"I command you."
"I am not becoming like you two idiots." I said sternly, "She can try but she won't survive it." I would die before that bitch came near me with those fangs.
"You will do what I ask you to do."
"No. I won't. When have I ever done anything you have asked me to when I didn't want to?" I fought. This was all so stupid! I waste all my time on these people constantly. And for what? So that when all is said and done I can get up and do the same tomorrow?
"Pam. Leave us." He ordered, his tone staying calm. But I knew he wanted to yell at me. He most likely would.
"Yes Pam. Leave us." I said angrily, not hiding my annoyance with all this. She looked at him a moment before deciding it would be easier to just give in a go. The door slammed shut behind her as we were left alone in his office.
"Why do you not listen to me. This one time I ask you to do something that could save you and you choose to ignore it?" He asked me, his eyes pleading with me.
"You want me to leave you here to die. I won't do that again." I got up from the couch and walked over to his desk, "This time I have a choice. This time I have all the power. They were my parents to." Instead of stopping at the desk I walked around it to my viking, "We can kill him and stay alive Eric. We don't have to risk our lives." I reached down to him and traced his jaw line. "And even if you did die and you left me here I would most likely die anyways." And it was true. I had heard the stories Claudine had told me. The consequences of giving my heart to someone were dire.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me into his lap so I was straddling him as he watched me sadly. "I have taken your heart and killed you." He said.
"And I will die knowing that I gave it to someone worthy of it." I whispered as I leaned in and kissed him softly. "I would die a happy Fairy."
He kissed me again, pulling me deeper into him. As usual there was no way to stop myself. Once he had me like this I was stuck. I ran my hands up his sides, pulling his shirt over his head and onto the floor. What I wasn't expecting was what came next.
There was a loud tearing sound as the crotch of my pants ripped in half, leaving me exposed once again. In a flash he was inside of me, pushing in as I sat on his lap, "Eric." I whispered, laying my head on his shoulder as he carefully lifted me up and down. "We won't die. I promise we will be okay." I whimpered, unable to hang on for much longer.
"I am sorry Oliver." He said back to me, "Sorry." His teeth pierced the skin of my neck slowly, drawing from me and he moved us. And I knew why he was sorry. The lady had left behind a few of her men to watch us. They could smell my blood as he took it from me. But it didn't matter. This was just one of those times where stopping would brake my heart.
"Okay so why the hell did it take you two hours to get your butt out here?" Sookie asked me angrily. Bill had gone and the sun was shining brightly above us. And it was damn hot.
"family stuff. Sorry Sook." I shrugged. I wasn't going to tell her I had my brother in his office while she stood around waiting. "I am staying here for the day alright? Nothing is going on so you can head on home and tend to your cousin."
"Uh huh." She said a small smile spreading across her face, "Are you sure that's it then?" She asked me.
"Take Godric home for me. Tend to Hadley." I said again.
"Okie dokie. Call me if you need me." She said, getting into my car with Godric.
She drove off and left me to the bar. And I was fine. It was the first quiet time I had had in a month.
I sat at the bar reaching over it occasionally to grab a can of pop or whatever else I could find that fulfilled my craving for sweets. I hadn't really stopped to address that recently. Sookie had asked me about it while we were looking for Bill. But I shoved it aside so I wouldn't have to think about it. Yet I found myself questioning it.
My appetite had gotten intense. It seemed like I was always craving something sweet. It was not a usual thing for me. Since Sookie and I had headed to Mississippi I had been feeling on edge and a bit angry. This was a little unusual. I liked to think it could be explained by the increase in monster fighting I had been doing lately, but how could I really know?
I had lived for hundreds of years and never once did I get sick. Yet here I was feeling off. Maybe it had been a bad idea leaving the hospital before I had talked to someone. Bit how could I explain the rapid healing? I couldn't without causing suspicion.
My phone buzzed loudly, shaking me back to reality. It was dark out. Pam and Eric were talking in the back room with the door open while two men in black paced back and forth nearby. I shrugged and tapped the screen.
Sookie: You have like ten messages on your house phone. Why don't you ever check them?
Me: Oh, hello. Haven't talked to you in a while.
Sookie: You don't have to be a grumpy butt. I just wanted to make sure you heard this one. It seemed important to me. Couldn't wait.
Me: Send it to my phone then. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyways.
The phone beeped again telling me I had a new message. I picked it up and listened to the message Sookie thought was so important.
"Miss Northman? Miss Northman this is Doctor Fitz from over at Shreveport General Hospital. You left before we could go over your chart. Look I feel like you should come back in so we can speak in person. Give me a call."
I dropped the phone down onto the counter and ignored it. It would have to wait until all this shit was over. I sure as hell wouldn't be able to explain my lack of bruising to any doctor without telling them I had consumed vampire blood.
I even thought a moment about trying to get a hold of Claudine again. I had entered Fairy against the wishes of the court, maybe I could slip past their defenses again. If there was some weird Fairy sickness I needed to know about it.
If that failed I could go looking for someone else like me. Someone who knew more about my kind then I did. And that could be pretty much any Fairy I found. It hadn't really ever bothered me until now that I knew only small tidbits about my people. I felt lost.
TO BE CONT: The next chapter is going to be super long so I cut this one short. Sorry guys!
