Part 4

Caitlyn got up early not being able to sleep long knowing Eric was just down stairs. She decided to take a shower maybe that would help clear her head about the whole situation. Seeing him so lost like a child was just uneasy for Caitlyn. Turning on the facet Caitlyn got in the hot shower hoping for some peace of mind.

Eric laid on his back staring at the ceiling hearing the water run in the bathroom upstairs. He knew basic things but his life gone nothing, no memory. Did he have friends, a lover, or a family all these questions rolled over and over in his mind? The reality was this Caitlyn and she seemed uneasy around him.

Stepping out of the shower Caitlyn grabbed a towel to dry off then tied it around her. Wiping the mirror she looked and saw Eric behind her. Startled, at his presence and not being about to feel him made her mind race with confusion.

"Eric, what is it?" questioned Caitlyn while turning around trying to get passed him to her bedroom for clothes.

"I need to know some things", answered Eric with a childlike innocence.

"Okay just let me get dressed," rushing into the bedroom grabbing some clothes Caitlyn worried Eric might come in.

"Come in, "called Caitlyn.

"What would you like to know Eric", asked Caitlyn as he can to sit on the bed by next to her.

"Are we lovers," replied Eric looking straight a Caitlyn.

"No, No,No,No," countered Caitlyn standing up and walking away from the bed getting distant from Eric.

"Why not, you are beautiful, "professed Eric still staring at Caitlyn.

"Eric, you aren't known as a very compassionate person, "replied Caitlyn trying to not be too harsh with the reality of who Eric was.

"Oh, that is why you are uneasy around me you are afraid, "commented Eric looking down at the floor with an almost regretful expression.

"I am not afraid of you Eric, "answered Caitlyn, "You just aren't yourself and it is strange".

"Tell me what you know about me; please I have to know "exclaimed Eric.

Caitlyn couldn't believe he was actually pleading for her help. This side was so different and she was beginning to like this side of him. Maybe this Eric was always there and he hid it from the world.

"Alright, I will tell you want I know, "Caitlyn returned to the bed sitting across from Eric and starting tell him what she knew about his life past and present. Though Caitlyn only had a broad scope of events she did know about Godric and his vengeance against Russell Edgingtion.

"Stop," Eric stood up not believing all the things he had did. He was a monster no wonder Caitlyn was uneasy with his change in behavior.

Eric walked out of the room heading down stairs, the sun was rising. All Eric could think about is the lives he had taken. He would be better off dead, reaching for the door Eric was thrown back by Caitlyn.

"Don't you will burn, "exclaimed Caitlyn not understanding what he was trying to do.

"Yes, this world will be better without me," Eric started for the door again Caitlyn pushed him hard sending him flying across the house landing in front of the stairs.

"No, Eric these is not the answer, we will get your memory back," Caitlyn expressed.

"Why, I am a monster," confessed Eric sitting on the floor with blood dripping from his nose and eyes.

Grabbing a kitchen towel Caitlyn bend down in front of Eric wiping the blood away.

"Eric I believe there is good in you," expressed Caitlyn.

"I find that hard to believe," denied Eric staring at Caitlyn.

"Believe it, I can see and feel it through the pain in your eyes," replied Caitlyn holding his head with her hand.

"A monster wouldn't care" Caitlyn rubbed her thumb under his eye.

Eric put his hand on hers closing his eyes as if her touch was a lifeline. They sat on the floor for a while in silence. Eventually, Caitlyn got Eric to try to get some sleep. But, Eric wouldn't let go of her hand. So, Caitlyn sat by him as he sleep, not believing she was comforting Eric Northman.

The sun was going down when Caitlyn woke up. She was on the sofa bed sitting upright leaning towards Eric who had wrapped an arm around her waist. His position put his face next to her; blonde hair had fallen into the Vikings face. Caitlyn couldn't resist lightly moving her hand over the hair that had fallen. What was she doing laying here touching Eric Northman's hair? It is against all the rules to get involved.

Eric moved a little sending shivers of sensation through Caitlyn's body. He opened his eyes taking in where his arm and body was laying. Caitlyn had been touching his hair he had felt it, but didn't want to wake to have her stop. They both looked at each other not knowing what to say. Lucky Caitlyn's cell phone rang and she got up to answer it.

"Caitlyn," she answered the cell phone.

"WHAT!" exclaimed Caitlyn walking into the kitchen?

"What do you mean that you don't have the reversal spell," Caitlyn was pacing in frustration.

"Morena, you said, yes I know it is difficult spell, fine, how long till you have it" question Caitlyn.

"A WEEK, fine, fine just get it," Caitlyn laid the phone on the counter. What was she going to do Eric couldn't stay there with her. He could go to Fangtasia, Pam would watch out for him until Morena could get the spell ready.

"What do you mean he lost his memory", asked Pam looking at Eric.

"He knows he is a vampire but not who he is," replied Caitlyn.

"He has to stay here," Pam turned to look at her maker with worry.

"Wait, I watch him last night but he's his maker", exclaimed Caitlyn

"I am the first place the witches will look for him", proclaimed pam.

"What about Sookie maybe he could stay with her," question Caitlyn.

"No, way am I having Eric stay with me", expressed Sookie sitting on the sofa weary of Eric in this state he was dangerous before. Now, he knew nothing of his life before and it was frightening what he my do.

"Great, so I am stuck with him until Morena gets the reversal spell, "Caitlyn didn't know how she was going to handle this.

"You can guard him, like no one else here can Caitlyn," replied Sookie.

"I have to go and find out what witches did this", exclaimed Pam.

"Fine," answered Caitlyn unnerved by the whole events with Eric and how he was acting.

I was going to be a long week.
