Pam
Slowly Pam stands up. Her wounds healed a little bit, but she knows that it wasn't enough.
`What shall I do? I cannot tell Eric about this "message". He has so much work to do. But I have to bring him the keys. As soon as he'd see me, he definitely would ask what happend. No. I'll just put the keys in his house and then I will drive home. ´
Pam goes to her car and climbs carefully in it.
Then she drives fast to Erics house. Eric isn't back yet, so she opens the door with her key and puts the keys of Fangtasia on the table in the living room. After that, she quickly leaves the house and drives back home.
Having arrived home, she takes a shower, drinks two bottles of true blood and then she falls in her bed and sleeps instantly.
Eric
As he opens the door, he knows immediately Pam wasn't there. But he smells her scent in his house. Though he knows that she was not in the house he calls her.
»Pam? «
No answer. What he expected. He sighs loudly, then he opens a bottle of true blood. Maybe he has been too strict to her, but she has to obey. Eric notices the keys. He smiles, gets up and takes them. He could always rely on her.
After a shower he goes to bed,too.
Pam
As Pam wakes up in the morning, she feels the pain again. Slowly she stands up and goes in the bathroom. As she looks into the mirror, she screams silent. Her right side of the face is blue from Savio's strokes. With her black eye, she cannot go to Fangtasia. She has to call Eric. She goes back to her bed and takes her mobile phone. Eric takes the call after a few seconds.
»What's up? «
»I want to ask you something. «
Eric doesn't reply so Pam goes on.
»I thought, if you just could … I mean, I work every night in the bar, every day, and I have to answer the stupid questions of the fangbangers and have to wear these "vampire clothes" and I really hate them and …«
»Pam! «
»Yes? «
»Tell me what you want or I'll hang up. «
»Ok. I … I want to ask you, if I could get a day off. Today. «
»Why? «
»What? «
»Why do you want a day off? «
»Because … I just need a day off. A break, you know. «
»And this has to be today? «
»Yes. «
»No. «
»Why? «
»Because I need you in the bar. «
»I'm every day in the bar. Please give me this day. «
»No. «
»I promise that I will never ask you again in the next … let me think…50 years, okay? «
»No. «
»100 years? «
»Pam! You won't get it. I will see you in an hour. «
With these words Eric hangs up.
»Shit! «
Pam throws her mobile phone on her blanket. From the corner of her eye, she noticed her make-up in the bathroom. She goes to the mirror and gets ready for the bar. With the powder she hides the black eye.
Eric
Eric sits annoyed behind his desk. Nan Flanagan makes his life difficult and Pam hasn't appeared yet. He has given her an hour and now two hours passed by. Suddenly the door of his office opens and Pam enters.
»Where have you been? «
»Calm down. I was at home and got ready for the bar. «
»I told you I'd give you an hour to do so, and now two hours passed by. «
»I'm just a girl. We need time to look perfect. «
Eric sighs.
»Go outside and do your job. «
Pam raises an eyebrow and then she turns away. Meanwhile, Eric noticed a blue glimmer on her right eye.
»Pam! «
»What? «
She turns back to him. Eric stands up.
»What is with you right eye? «
Pam winces briefly.
»Nothing. Why do you ask? «
»Come here. «
»Eric. I have to go outside and do my job, right? I don't want to waist any more time. «
»Pamela! «
Slowly Pam goes back to Eric. He takes her face in his hands and examines her eye.
»Did you use make-up? «
»Why not? I'm a woman. How often do I have to tell you? «
With his thumb Eric wipes the make-up away. Pam closes her eyes.
»Why do you have a black eye? «
Pam doesn't answer. Eric shakes her a little bit.
»Tell me! «
Pam opens her eyes.
»A ball has hit me? «
Eric takes his hands away and raises an eyebrow.
»A ball? Great joke, Pam. And now the truth, please. «
»Yesterday I closed Fangtasia. «
Eric nods.
»I've found the keys. «
»And then a man appeared. He asked me if I was your child. «
»Why would he wanna know this? «
»What a coincidence, I asked the same thing but he told me it's none of my bussines. «
»And then? «
»After I have told him I'm your child, he said that he had a message for you. «
»What message? «
»I'm the message. «
»What? «, Eric asks confused.
»He has hit and kicked me very often and very fast. I couldn't do anything, I was only laying on the ground, waiting him to finish and let go of me. The next thing he said to me was to tell you: "This is a message from Savio". And that you do actually know him. «
Eric shakes Pam angry.
»Why haven't you told me yesterday? «
»Because you have so much anger with Nan Flanagan and you were so angry yesterday … «
»Now I'm even angrier. «
»I'm sorry. «, Pam whispers.
Eric stops shaking Pam. Instead he takes her in his arms and pulls her tight to him.
»I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry that I was so angry and I'm sorry t you got hurt. «
»You were not the person hurting me. «
»I know, but I am the reason he hurt you. «
»That doesn't matter. «
Eric sighs and then he bites in his wrist.
»No. «, Pam says, but it is too late.
»Drink. «
Pam shakes her head and goes a step back.
»Pam. «
»I don't want to drink your blood. «
»Pamela. «
Erics voice becomes icy. Pam turns quickly and wants to run away, but Eric is faster. He lays his arm around Pam's waist and throws her on the couch. Before Pam is able to get up again, Eric is on top of her. He bites in his wrist again holds it above her mouth. Pam turns her head away, but Eric grasps her chin and holds her in place.
»No. «
Eric shoves his wrist over her mouth and forces Pam to drink. After a few mouthfuls, he pulls it away. With his thumb he wipes the rest of blood from her mouth away.
»I hate you. «
Pam is angry. Eric places a kiss in her forehead.
»Sure. «
Then he gets up. He knows that she doesn't mean what she says.
»Do your job. «
Pam stands up and throws him an angry gaze then she walks outside. Eric shakes his head and sighs.
`Such a stubborn girl. ´
