Eric

Eric was angry. Pam was under the shower. Eric brought her back in the hotel, far away from Lord Jan. Pam hasn't spoken one word after this spectacle, but Eric had felt her fear through their bond. And he knew that her fear wasn't gone. Pam walked in the room, in a pink bath robe. She sat down on her bed and brushed her hair. Eric stood up and sat beside her.

»How do you feel? «

»I'm fine. «

»Pam? Tell me the truth. «

»What do you expect to hear! You know perfectly how I feel because you feel it through the bond! So why do you ask when you already know the answer…please stop annoying me! «, said Pam angry.

She threw the brush through the room and then she looked in Eric's eyes. Eric didn't say anything. He just waited. After a minute Pam closed her eyes. Red tears ran her cheeks down. Eric pulled Pam in his arms and stroked gently her back.

»Schschschsch. Don't cry, my sweet angel. I promise you that he will never ever again harm you. With me around, you will be safe. «

He kissed the top of her head many times. Slowly Pam calmed down.

»I'm tired, Eric. «

Eric nodded and took Pam's face in his hands. He made his thumb wet and wiped the tears away. Then he kissed her on her forehead.

»Sleep. I'll take care of you. «

»I know. «

Pam lied down in her bed and covered herself with the blanket.

»Good night, Pam. «

»Good night. «

Eric smiled, stood up and turned off the light except the little lamp behind the couch. He sat down on the couch and worked with his notebook.

After an hour Pam sat up.

»Eric? «

Eric looked up.

»What's up, my angel? «

»Can you come to bed? «

»Give me 10 more minutes and I promise you I will turn off the notebook and the light and I will go to bed. Try to sleep, Pam. «

Pam sighed and lied down again. After the 10 minutes Eric turned off the notebook and the light. Then he went to his bed, as he promised. Pam moved in her bed.

»Eric. «

Eric turned to Pam's bed, sat down on the edge and stroked gently Pam's cheek.

»Why don't you sleep? «

»Would you mind sleeping in my bed… «

»Pam … «

»Eric, please! I don't want to be alone. «

»Ok. Give me just a minute and I will be right by your side. «

Pam nodded. Eric changed his clothes and brushed his teeth. Then he went back to Pam's bed and lied down next to her. Pam huddled against Eric and he pulled her in his arms.

»Sleep. I promise you thet I won't leave. «

Pam rested her head on Eric's chest. Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day:

Eric woke up at 9 pm. Pam still lied in his arms, her head on his chest. Gently he kissed her on the top of her head. Pam wasn't the type who would be afraid of someone who attacked her. But this time she was because of this vampire. Eric hoped that Lord Jan was flying home. He didn't know what Pam would do if she would see him again. Eric didn't move until Pam woke up, too. First, she moved a little bit, but her eyes were still closed. Eric stroked gently her back. Then she opened her eyes and looked up in Eric's eyes.

»Good evening. «, said Eric.

»Good evening. «

»How do you feel? «

»Better. Thank you for sleeping next to me. «

Eric smiled.

»And I'd do it again if you'd ask me. «

»I know. «

»I have to stand up. «

»I don't want to. «

»Then stay where you are. «

»Sound good to me. «

»Yeah? I'm sure it does. «

Eric gave her a kiss and stood up. Pam snuggled down in the blanket. As Eric got ready, he went back to Pam's bed and bended over her.

»Do you want to stay in bed? «

Pam nodded. Eric smiled.

»Well, I have to go to the king. The last meeting and then we are going back to Shreveport. «

»You go? «

Suddenly Pam sat up. Panic was in her eyes.

»Don't panic, Pam. I'm just away for a couple of hours. I'll be back soon, I promise. «

»I want to come with you! «

»Pam. This is not an interesting meeting. Stay here and when you are bored you can call Jessica or Sookie or your friend. What was her name? «

»Elise. «, whispered Pam.

»Right. Pam, you are a big girl and if it should be necessary, you can always call me. Ok? «

Pam nodded.

»Good girl. Maybe you could still try to sleep a little bit. «

»I'll try it. «

»I see you later. «

Then Eric went outside and Pam snuggled down in the blanket.

Pam

After an hour Pam got up and made her ready. Then she took her mobile phone.

»Yes? «

»Elise? «

»Hey Pam. «

»Where are you? «

»I'm in the lobby. My maker's talking to the king right now. «

»Can you come up? «

»Sure. Which floor? «

»The fifth. «

»Give me a minute and I will be there. «

»Thank you. «

Both hung up. Pam sat down on her bed. A minute later, she heard someone calling her name.

»Pam? «

Quickly she opened the door.

»I'm here, Elise. «

Elise walked inside.

»How are you? «

»Not that good. «

Both sat down on Pam's bed.

»Because of your ex-fiancé? «

»Yes. I mean … firstly, I thought he was a human when I met him, and … and secondly I … I thought he is dead. I haven't expected to see him ever again. I mean … I have hated him during this time because I did not love him and now … «

»Now he is here. «

»Yes and he wanted to kidnap me! «

»That was really crazy. I had no idea what to do. Luckily, this red-haired girl had called your maker. «

»I've got no idea what I had done if Eric hadn't appeared. «

»I believe you. «

»Ok. I don't want to talk about my ex, so let us talk about something else. «

»Sure. Before you called me, I was in the lobby and there was such a sweet guy at the reception. «

»A guy? «

»A vampire. But he was so handsome and so I asked what his name was. «

»And? «

»Guess! «

Elise smiled.

»Elise, I'm not in the mood to guess. «

»Ok. His family name is 'De Beaufort'. «

»What? «

»Yes. Isn't this awesome? «

»And his prename? «

»David. «

»What? «

»Why do you say 'what' again? «

»Did you say 'David'? «

»Yes. «

»David de Beaufort? «

»Yes. That is his name. «

Quickly Pam took her shoes and walked outside the room. Elise followed her.

»Pam! Where do you want to go? «

»To the reception. «

»Because of David? «

»Yes. «

Pam ran with vampire speed, so that she stood in a few seconds in the lobby. Hecticly, she observed the vampires in the lobby.

»He was standing beside the plant, Pam. «

Pam saw the vampire and went to him.

»David? «

The vampire turned. He had dark blond hairs and brown eyes.

»Pamela? «

David was surprised and Pam's eyes widened.

»You are alive? «, he asked.

»I do and you, too? «

»Yeah. Jan has transformed me. «

»Jan? «

»Yes. Your ex-lover … or ex-hate-lover. «

Then David hugged Pam.

»I have thought you were dead. Why haven't you told me someone had transformed you into a vampire? «, David asked.

»Do you think you would've believed me? «

»I was a child, Pamela. I had believed you everything. What I have do. You've told me so many lies but I had believed you. «

»Why did Jan transform you? «

»Because I was so sad that I had lost you. «

Pam turned her head. Behind her stood … Lord Jan.

»What's that for reason? «

Pam was so angry that she was able to forget her fear.

»For you it is maybe not a reason, but it is for me. «

»You are mad. «

»I'm mad? You are the one who is mad because you are still with your fucking maker. «

»He is a better maker than you could ever be. «

»No, he isn't because he has stolen my child. «

»I was never your child. «

»But you should be mine. «

»But I don't want to be yours. «

»The second thing I cannot forgive is that he has fucked you. «

Pam smiled.

»Because you hadn't the chance? «

»If you would've spend a night with me, you would never fuck him again. «

»Do you really think that? I would never fuck you because no one is better than Eric. Shall I tell you how crazy he has made me when he fucked me? «

Quickly Lord Jan has grasped Pam's throat.

»Master! «

David got Pam freed.

»Please don't do this. «

»Forget the please, boy. «

David turned his head. Eric has arrived.

»Haven't I told you to never ever touch my child again? «

»You fucking … «

»Lord Jan! «

The king of Missouri came in.

»I think it is time for you to go now. «

Lord Jan bowed.

»Sure, Sire. David! «

Lord Jan went outside. David looked sadly at Pam and then he followed his maker.

»Are you okay? «, Eric whispered.

Pam nodded.

»Do you know this boy? «

»Why do you ask? «

»Because of his last glance at you. It was really sad. «

Pam looked down.

»Pam? «

»He is my little brother. «
