Pam

Pam opened her eyes. She lied in a canopy bed. Slowly she got up. It was her child's room in London.

`Am I a human again? ´

Suddenly the door opened and Lord Jan entered the room.

»Good evening, Pamela. «

»How has ist come that I am in my child's room in London again? «

»What do you mean, Pamela? «

»Where is Eric? «

»Who is Eric? «

»My maker. «

»Pamela. «, Lord Jan said and he sat down on the corner of Pam's bed and stroked gently her cheek, »I'm your maker, darling. «

Pam looked at him confused.

»No, you're not. «

»Sure, I am. I'm your maker and because you were so alone, I have transformed your little brother, too. «

»David is here? «

»He is in his room. You can ask him. «

Quickly Pam stood up and ran to David's room. David lied on his bed and slept. Suddenly Lord Jan stood behind Pam and touched her arms.

»He is younger than you, that's why he is still sleeping. You can ask him in an hour. Come with me. You have to eat something. «

Lord Jan closed David's door and leaded Pam downstairs.

Eric

Eric knocked on Bill's front door. After a few seconds Bill opened the door.

»Eric? What do you want? «

»Where is Pam? «

»I don't know. Yesterday you have driven her home, right? «

»I have and now she is gone. «

»Without a message? «

»Yes and she hasn't unpacked her luggage. Besides, the door was opened and a half-empty bottle of true blood was on the ground. «

»Do you have smelt someone? «

»It was a vampire and I have smelt him before, but I don't know where. So I went to you. «

»Make an educated guess. Where do you know thins scent from? «

»I think it was on the ball. «

»On the ball in Springfield? «

»Yes. «

»Okay. Go back to Fangtasia. Maybe someone will call you and Jessica and I will ask around here. «

Eric nodded.

»Try to calm down. If she would be dead, you would know it. «

»I know. «

After few hours:

Bill drove to Fangtasia. He found Eric in his office. Eric's gaze was empty.

»Eric. «

But Eric didn't react. Bill shook Eric a little bit.

»Eric! «

This time Eric reacted.

»I don't know where I have smelt this scent. «, he whispered.

»You will recall it. You just have to think more about it. «

Eric shook his head.

»No, because my head is full of fear. Fear that I will never see my child again. Fear that she is maybe hurt. Fear that I feel nothing through our bond. Fear that I can't rescue her. Fear … «

»Okay, shut up! You will see her again. But you have to remember where you have smelt this fucking scent. It is the only way to find Pam. So when you want to hold your child in your arms again, then you have to recognize the scent. Can you do that? «

»I will try it. «

»Good. Jessica and I haven't found something, but we will continue tomorrow night. «

Eric's only reply was a nod. Bill sighed and went outside. Eric closed his eyes and leaned back. Tears ran down his cheek.

Pam

Meanwhile in London:

Pam sat on the couch, David on the armchair and Lord Jan stood in front of them.

»Do you believe me now, Pamela? «

»If you are be really my maker, as you claim to be, why do I not feel anything from you? «

»Because I don't like it when you both know how I feel. «

»Then open the bond so that I know that you tell me the truth. «

In a second he was in front of her.

»I'm your maker. Don't speak to me in that tone of voice! «

»You are not my maker. «

Something vanished in Pam's head and she remembered everything. Lord Jan went a step back and Pam got up.

»My maker is Eric Northman. Sheriff from area five from Louisiana. And I know that you have ordered David to bring me to you, so he has kidnapped me. «

Lord Jan grasped Pam's throat and pushed her on the couch. His fangs were extended.

»Well, then you know everything. But I won't let you go back to this fucking idiot. You are mine and you can't do anything against it. «

»How do you want to prevent me? «

Lord Jan smiled devilish.

»Don't worry. You will see. David! «

»Master, please don't … «

»Bring it to me, David! «

Within a second David was back and handed Lord Jan an electronic bangle over. Lord Jan took Pam's hand and donned it. Then he stood up.

»What is that? «, Pam asked.

»This is an electronic bangle. «

»And? «

Lord Jan pulled a clicker out of his jacket.

»When you don't do what I want, I push this button. «

»And then I will do what you want? Are you really that stupid? «

Lord Jan pushed the button on the clicker. Immediately Pam screamed of pain, because the bangle sent electric power surge. Lord Jan stopped it and went to Pam, who lied gasping on the ground.

»Do you understand, why you will do what I want? Before I forget it, you can't destroy the bangle. I'm the only person who has the key. «

Tears ran Pam's cheek down.

Eric

Angry he has thrown the files through his office. Without Pam, Eric wasn't able to find anything in the office. She arranged everything. Bill, Jessica and Sookie entered the office.

»Oh my god! «, Sookie said.

»Eric, what happened? «, Bill asked.

Eric looked like a jerk. He hadn't brushed his hair and he hadn't changed his clothes.

»I need a file and I can't find it. «

»And that's the reason you destroy your office? «

»What do you want? «

»Nobody has heard anything about Pam. Do you now know where you have smelt the scent? «

»No. I don't know it. «

»You told it was on the ball. So maybe Lord Jan? «, Jessica asked.

»No. I would recognize this fucking idiot! «

»Someone you have talked to? «, Sookie proposed.

»No. I have smelt it just for a few minutes. «

»Only a few minutes? That doesn't help us. «

Suddenly Eric paused.

»No. It wasn't on the ball. It was in the hotel. «

»Are you sure? «, Bill asked.

»Yes. «

He turned back to Bill, Jessica and Sookie.

»It was the boy with Lord Jan. Pam's little brother. «
