OOM - At Fangtasia with Eric

[Continued from here.]

Pam opens the Staff Only door onto the main room of Fangtasia. It's empty and quiet, though some of the lights are still on, illuminating the dance poles and the stage.

The stage glows a deep blood red, the throne stands without its sheriff.

Pam drifts toward the edge of the room. She keeps her distance from Eric, knowing that the smell of rotting flesh upsets him as much as it would anyone.

"This is your nightclub, Eric."

"I can chose to be different."

He'd have liked for that to have come out all self-assured and confident.

He flounderes.

How do you answer a question like that?

"Because it is the right thing to do?"
That wasn't supposed to be a question.

"Everyone?"

At least that he has spoken with. At Milliways.

He likes having friends.

That hurts.

the truth hurts

And he is suddenly angry at her. At everything.
The confusion.
The hunger.
The rules that he doesn't know.
The longings that he doesn't understand.

And so he snarls, his fangs slamming down. Hard.

He turns his back on her, abruptly, and retracts his fangs.

He shouldn't have done that.

The anger and confusion still churns inside him - But he shouldn't have done that.

He looks back at her, eyes wide and haunted.

He doesn't know what to say.
What to do.

He gratefully accepts the change of topic.

"I left my clothes by the lake. When I went swimming," he says.
Which doesn't really explain it.

"Well, they said there were alligators there. But I didn't see any."

It had been sort of disappointing.

"No, it was in the morning. Or like - There was this fairy? And I drank her." He frowns a little. "Which was bad because Sookie liked her. Anyway, I ran around for a bit. And then I went swimming."

A pause.

"The water was really nice."

"No..? I mean, a little bit. But then Sookie came with this."

He picks at the blanket. And then he dcowls.
"And a stupid werewolf."

He sulks.

"I did go back," he says. "I'm not a child."

To be told what to do.
