Chapter 9

Eric was resting in his old throne observing the carnage of the night. Sookie and the others had left a long time ago. He was weak from the hep-v.

"You need to feed" said Pam trying to hold together her emotions of watching her maker slip away.

Eric turned and looked at her and nodded. Pam disappeared in search of food for her maker.

Pam was outside trying to think of a place to get food. She senses a familiar presence and turned around to find Caitlyn standing behind her.

"What the hell are you doing here "questioned Pam.

"Nice to see you too, Pam" remarked Caitlyn.

Pam just crossed her arms and looked at Caitlyn.

"Is it true "asked Caitlyn.

Pam nodded her head losing some of her gruff towards Caitlyn.

"He needs to feed"Pam turned and was gone.

Caitlyn turned and started walking into fangtasia. Once inside Caitlyn saw Eric, he was so weak and the hep-v was spreading all over his chest. Caitlyn was nearly in tears.

Eric sensed her and turned looking eye to eye with Caitlyn.

"Caitlyn, what are you doing here?" asked Eric.

"I had to come," stated Caitlyn as she moved closer to Eric.

"Why" accused Eric, "Guardian's are forbidden to get involved, remember"

"I had to leave Eric,"said Caitlyn.

"Why" Eric raised his voice and stood up from the throne.

"You know why,"said Caitlyn.

"NO, I want to hear you say it Caitlyn "confronted Eric now face to face with Caitlyn only a breath apart.

Caitlyn looked into his eyes and sighed.

"Eric, please" pleaded Caitlyn.

"No" was all he said to her grabbing her arms and forcing Caitlyn to look up at him.

"Fine, I left because a guardian in forbidden to get involved yes, but also not to fall in love," replied Caitlyn.

That was all Eric needed to hear and kissed her softly. Remembering how sick he was he ended the kiss. Leaning his head on hers he breathed in her scent.

"I fell for you too Guardian" said Eric.

"You can't die," cried Caitlyn releasing the tears she was holding.

"It's not the final stages, yet" whispered Eric wiping away her tears.

They stood together for a long time neither wonting to let the other go afraid to let go.

"Will you stay" asked Eric.

"Yes," said Caitlyn.

Eric sat back down on the throne Caitlyn brought a chair over to sit by him. She wasn't going to let him die there had to be away to save him. He was Eric Northman he wasn't supposed to die like this.
