I had followed Eric into the sitting room more than twenty minutes ago and it’s been silent since. We were sitting across from each other just observing. It was very uncomfortable as he just sat staring at me.
“I have to thank you for getting Godric off that roof”, he finally says. I just stare at him since that was the last thing I expected to hear from him. “I don’t say thank you often but you saved my maker and I felt it was deserved”.
“You’re welcome but it was purely selfish on my side. I could tell he was sad but I couldn’t let him go”, I tell him.
“It is still greatly appreciated whatever your reason was. Now, what are your intentions with my maker”?
I blink and can’t help the laugh that comes out, “Sorry, that’s just not what I expected. I’m pretty sure I’m falling in love with him. I just want him to be happy”, I say honestly.
“What will you do if he decides he no longer wants you around”, he asks.
“If he has a good reason I’ll let him go. It has to be a really good reason though”.
“What’s a good reason then”?
“He doesn’t love me”.
“And a bad reason”?
“He thinks he’s putting me in danger by being with me”.
“That’s a good answer. What if he wants to turn you; would you be alright with that; to be with him forever”, he asked.
“I haven’t really had a chance to think about it. When I first met him in the basement he asked why I would help a monster like him. I’ve been trying to get him to think differently ever since. I think if I want to be with him forever I’m going to have to fight for it”, I tell him.
That’s when a woman appears behind Eric leaning down to speak to him in some language I don’t know. She’s blond and very tall from what I can see. She’s very pretty and I can tell she’s tough and fierce. I feel small as her eyes finally move over to me.
“Eric, you didn’t tell me you brought dinner home”, she says as she moves to sit beside me.
“That’s because I didn’t. Pam meet Jasmine; Jasmine this is my progeny Pam”, he says sounding bored.
“Ahhh, so you’re the little human who saved Eric’s maker”, she said. “How’d you do it”?
“Can I trust her”, I ask looking over at Eric.
“Unless it’s something that can put the family in danger she’s very trustworthy. So, Pam as your maker you will not talk to anyone aside from me, Jasmine, and Godric about what she tells you tonight”.
“You think I’m a danger”, I ask softly.
“I think if the wrong people find out what you can do it would put you in danger”, he states.
“I can try to show you but it doesn’t always work”, I say holding my hand out to her.
She looks at Eric before putting her hand in my own. I close my eyes trying to find the pull that I usually get along with the visions. I try for a few minutes when nothing happens. I open my eyes shaking my head.
“I didn’t get anything”, I say wondering if maybe it only works with Godric. “Can I try you Eric”?
In an instant he’s kneeling beside me holding his hand out. I place my own hand in his and close my eyes. I don’t even have to try as I’m pulled in. I’m surrounded by people in a bar I see myself standing with Sookie and a very tall man. I watch as a man comes on stage beside a girl who was already there and he is obviously a vampire. He bites his own wrist allowing his blood to fall into shot glasses. It’s carried out into the crowd.
I moved so I could get a better look as the vampire leaves the stage I watch as they brand the girl. One of the men from the crowd comes on the stage and takes off his clothes and changes into a wolf. I notice that the crowd’s eyes have turned golden as they all start turning. I hear one word when I come out “Edgington”.
“Whoa”, I say as I pull my hand from his.
He quirks his eyebrow at me, “What did you see”?
I explain it to him quickly and he grabs a pen and paper so I can draw the brand I had seen.
“That was the first time I’ve actually heard something. They’ve all been silent up to now”, I tell them.
“What did you hear”, Pam asks.
“Edgington, I think it was I don’t what that means”, I look at each other, and “By the way you two are looking at each other I assume you do”.
“He’s the vampire king of Mississippi”, Pam tells me.
I look over at Eric who was staring at the picture of the brand.
“Do you know what it is”, I ask. They look at each other again.
“Not really”, Eric says and I can feel the lie.
“If I’m going to be in that bar when those people start turning into whatever the hell that was I think I should know what I’m walking into”, I tell him. His head snaps my direction, “It’s no use lying to me I can feel when people are lying to me”.
He nods, “They’re werewolves. I first met them before I was turned when they killed my family. A bunch of wolves came in my home and when I killed one I watched it turn into a human. I followed the brand throughout the years hunting them. After Godric turned me he helped and we discovered they were being controlled by a vampire. None of them would give us his name though. Now I know it’s Edgington”.
My phone began ringing then and I answered quickly, “Hello”.
“Hello little one”, I smiled hearing Godric’s voice.
“How are things going over there”, I ask.
“It’s interesting; it was complete chaos when I got here”.
“Did you figure out how you’re going to kill it”?
“Hopefully with the plan we have it’ll be over tonight but I probably won’t be back until tomorrow”, he tells me.
“You’re still in one piece though right”, I ask.
He laughs, “Of course, I wouldn’t want to upset you coming home in pieces. How are things with Eric going”?
“Good we’re just getting to know each other like you suggested”, I tell him leaving out the vision until he gets back.
“That’s good I want you two to be able to depend on each other”, he says.
I narrow my eyes, “Are you planning on disappearing on us”?
“No, but I want us all to be a family”, he clarifies.
“We’re getting along so far”.
“Good, I have to go we’re about ready to start the plan”, he tells me.
“Be careful”.
“I will be and I’ll call before sunrise just so you can be sure”, he tells me and I hear the soft laugh in his words.
“It would make me feel better. So, I’ll talk to you later”.
“Goodbye little one”, he says.
“Goodbye”.
I hang up the phone and find it’s just me and Eric in the room.
“Where did Pam go”, I ask him.
“She had to go open Fangtasia. Do you know when your vision will come true”?
“No, it was about a month with the first one and only about two weeks for the last one so there’s no telling”, I tell him. “What is there to do around here”?
“I’m usually at Fangtasia so there’s not much in the house but we could go out. I haven’t stocked up on food yet so I can take you to dinner”.
“That sounds great I’ll just get changed”, I tell him as I stand and head to go downstairs.
“Dress nice”, his voice comes before I get to the stairs, “no jeans”.
I get down to the room and pull out a short sleeve black lace dress that’s fit and flare and my only pair of black heels. I quickly change and make my way back upstairs. I find Eric at the top of the stairs in a nice suit with his hair slicked back.
“You dress up nicely”, I compliment him.
“You do as well. I have to say my maker has good taste”, he says as he holds out his elbow for me to take. I blush lightly at his words.
We go outside and climb into a very expensive looking black car, “Where are you taking me”?
“We’re going to a nice Italian restaurant in town”, he says pulling out on the road.
There’s a comfortable silence in the car all the way to the restaurant. When we arrive he’s out of the car and opening my door within seconds. I take his hand as he helps me out and we make our way into the restaurant. We’re directed to a table immediately. Not long after I give my order.
“Are you the only person Godric has changed”, I ask.
“No, I have a sister, Nora. I brought her to Godric to be changed when I found her dying in London from the plague. Though you’re the first human he’s claimed”.
“You’re different than I expected”, I tell him after my food arrives along with some Tru Blood for Eric. “Sookie told me a little about you but it doesn’t really match what I’ve seen”.
“I find Sookie interesting and she’s good to have around. I’m the sheriff here and as such I present myself differently to the other vampires than I do with my family”, he tells me.
I was just finishing my food when Eric left the table to take a call.
“We have to stop by the bar before we go home”, he tells me as he returns to the table.
Not long after that we’re pulling into the parking lot and Eric is on my side of the car letting me out. I follow him in and pause just looking around at the people dancing and drinking. Eric grabs my elbow and pulls me through a hallway and into a small office where we find Pam.
“Why’d you bring her”, she asked Eric.
“We were out and stopped on the way back I told you she would be with me”, he told her.
Pam rolled her eyes and handed Eric some papers. I sat on the couch to the side while they talked. I had almost fallen asleep when Eric announced we were leaving. It didn’t take much time to get home.
“Thank you for taking me out”, I tell Eric as we walk into the house.
“We can’t have you starve while you’re here”, he says.
“I’ll be in the bedroom if you need me”, I tell him as I leave his side.
Once I’m in the room I quickly throw off my shoes and get a shower. My phone rings just as I’m climbing into the bed.
Knowing it’s Godric I answer, “Hey, how did it go”?
“Except for a few missteps everything went as planned”, he tells me.
“Everyone’s in one piece”?
“Everyone except the maenad is perfectly fine. It made things easier that she chose a shifter as her sacrifice”.
“Shifter, is that like a werewolf”, I ask.
“No and how do you know about werewolves”?
I blanch before I tell him about the vision and what Eric had said, “I didn’t want to distract you from what you were already dealing with”.
“It’s fine, I was more worried you had seen one. What did you and Eric do all night”?
“We talked for a while then he took me out for dinner and on our way back we had to stop by Fangtasia”.
“He took you to Fangtasia”, I could hear some anger enter his voice.
“Well to be fair he took me to his office in Fangtasia. Where I spent about two hours listening to him and Pam discuss business”, I explain.
“I still would’ve preferred to be there with all those vampires around”.
I smile, “Eric’s good company but I would have liked to have been spending time with you”.
“I’ll be back shortly after sundown tomorrow and we’ll do something; just the two of us”.
My vision of us in bed flashed through my mind and I shook my head. My eyes caught the clock, “You should get some sleep the sun should be up soon”.
“I’ll see you tomorrow then”.
“Goodnight Godric”.
“Goodnight little one”.
We hung up and I curled up in the bed to fall asleep. Only sleep wasn’t coming so easy. Every time I closed my eyes I could see Godric kissing down my body. I was excited and nervous all at the same time. I was worrying about everything from will it hurt and will I be any good to is it too soon. I finally fell asleep around noon.
I wake slowly to fingers running through my hair. I’m confused since I know I was alone when I went to sleep. I open my eyes and tilt my head and I see Godric sitting beside me.
“You’re back already”, I ask sitting up quickly.
“It’s almost nine little one. When did you fall asleep”?
“Sometime around noon I think”, I lean forward and kiss him. “I’m glad you’re back”.
His hands went to my hips and pulled me into his lap. He leaned up quickly capturing my lips. It didn’t take long to get heated as his hands roamed under the back of my shirt. I pulled back for a breath just as my phone rang. His hands tightened like he didn’t want to let go before releasing me.
I leaned over not completely leaving his lap and grabbed my phone, “Hello”, I said as I sat back up in his lap. I wasn’t really paying attention as I ran my finger along Godric’s face.
“Bill’s missing”, I heard Sookie say.
“Wait, what do you mean he’s missing”, I ask stopping what I was doing to listen.
“He took me out to dinner and he proposed to me…”
“He proposed to you”, I asked.
“Yes, and I went to the bathroom cause I needed a minute and when I came out he was gone”.
“Did you answer him before you went to the bathroom”?
“No, but he didn’t just leave his chair was knocked over and the table was a mess and I just know something is wrong. I think it was Eric have you seen him”?
“I just woke up; I haven’t seen anyone besides Godric”.
“Maybe you could get Godric to ask him”, she says.
“I’ll see what I can find out and I’ll let you know okay”?
“Thanks”, she said and hung up.
“Is it ever going to be just calm around here”, I sigh out.
“Well, if your vision of us comes true soon we’ll have some down time”, he comments lightly.
“So, sometime in the next two weeks we’ll get at least one night of peace”.
“How do you know it’s in the next two weeks”, he asked.
I bit my lip I hadn’t really meant to say that, “Well, the bed gave it away. I recognized it when we arrived”.
He laughed slightly, “Don’t sound like it’s the end of world little one”.
“I’m just nervous and knowing it’s soon isn’t helping”.
“Why does it make you so nervous”?
“I just don’t know what it’s gonna be like and I don’t really know what to expect. Don’t get me wrong I am excited it’s just nerve-wracking”, I tell him.
“Do you not trust me”, he asked moving to look me in the eye.
“I do”.
“Then trust that it’ll be okay. I’m not going to hurt you and I won’t do anything you don’t want. You just have to tell me and I’ll stop”.
“You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met you know that right”, I said leaning up and pressing a kiss to his jaw before laying out against his body just letting him hold me for a while.
**A/N I’m had some trouble writing Eric. Let me know what you think. He’s such a complex character on the show but I wanted to show the softer side of him that he shows to just a few of the characters.
