[Eric has been in a panic since he was woken by the incredibly distinct lack of the squishier emotions inside of him. He couldn't feel Sookie or her emotions and that had been a void deep enough to awaken the dead. Literally.

A check of all his abilities assured him that he was still a vampire and there was no physical reason for the bond to be broken. After a daylight search that had left him with a case of the bleeds and a certainty that Sookie was gone whether he wanted it or not, he'd gone to the Blood Shack. Walking into the familiar building had given him some hope. Sookie's scent still lingered there, but it was residual and nothing new. He walked to the bar, sorting through his emotions in the most distanced, analytical way possible in an attempt to control a rage and a pain that he'd only experienced once before: during Sookie's 'vacation' to fairyland. He filled a glass with blood and took a sip. That sip was enough blood to fuel the rage that bubbled so close to the surface even on a good day. The self control that Eric was so terribly proud of crumbled and the vampire broke apart in ways that he'd forgotten was possible.

It was easy to forget that Eric could be a weapon of perfect destruction. He was good at smiling and pretending. He was excellent at maintaining control of a frightening strength and rage. He was good at hiding the fact that he felt the negative spectrum of emotions so much easier than the positive ones. Through his bond with Sookie, he was able to tap into her emotions, able to feel them as if they were his own. He had gotten accustomed to what happy felt like and the complete lack of it left far too much space to fill with rage and anger, loss and pain. He hurled the glass of blood at the wall and screamed at the top of his lungs. There wasn't anything human or controlled about the way he began ripping things apart, tearing the building to pieces as an outlet for rage he didn't want to feel. It was difficult to tell because blood was still seeping from his eyes, ears and nose, but those were also blood tears running down his face.

He had so few people in this world he would weep at the loss of. The dome had managed to take away one. ]

[ooc: approach with caution. before the event. ]

[ If he'd had any real desire to hurt her, he would've attacked her then and there. Wanting Liz to leave was more about not wanting anyone to see him this way. Later he will appreciate the way she's stood up to him. It's one of the qualities he admires in humans and that he sees rarely.

he doesn't begrudge her or blame her for wanting a weapon, though unless she caught him unawares the weapon is laughable. It's not something he's inclined to share regardless of the situation.

at her question, he takes a deep, heaving breath. it's painful to say the words, to remind himself of a fact that is indisputable. he knows it in his very bones, smells a lack of it in the air. ]

they've taken her.

[ the words are a bit calmer than one might imagine because they are so twisted with pain that it is difficult for him to force them up through his throat. ]

[ the makeshift stake is more for liz's peace of mind than actual usefulness at this point. it's something to help her feel better about standing her ground against him. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what he means and she again feels the sting, the pull of wishing she could help and knowing she won't be able to. there's nowhere to search in a place like this. once people are gone... they're gone. ]

I'm sorry. [ she understands that sort of pain. it's respect for him that has her keeping her distance now, not wanting to push too far into his personal space in such a sensitive situation. she's no good at things like this, but just as when elena left, she knows she has to try. ]

Is there anything I can do? [ anything he needs right now, she means. ]

	[ He recognizes her sympathy and her respect for his space and his emotions, but it does little to make him feel better. ] Unless you can devise a way to get her back, then no. I'd say everyone is fairly helpless. [ Including him. How he hates admitting that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know people who are working on it. And there's always a chance she'll come back anyway. [ she's heard of it happening. sucks to have to wait, but that seems to be the thing here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
