Character(s): Eric, Sookie
Rating: 13+
Cautions/Warnings: lots of swearing I'm sure
Location: their cave
Approximate Date: during the earthquake and initial eruption
Status: closed
Eric had had a difficult time hunting tonight. The animals had been scarce, as though they were in hiding. Nothing was different, as far as he could tell, so he didn't understand why. Because of this, he'd had only gotten back to the cave around 15 or 20 minutes ago. He sat watching Sookie sleep, a smile on his face. He couldn't remember ever being this content with a woman before. He stroked her hair gently and got up to go start skinning the animals he'd managed to catch.
When he got outside, he felt uneasy. SOMETHING was wrong. It took him a few seconds to process that the night was completely silent. Animals and insects were making no noise. Before he could consider the implications of this, he picked up a faint rumbling that turned rapidly into a moderate roar. He started to turn toward the sound when he was jolted off his feet.
'Sookie!' he shouted, scrambling toward the cave. He couldn't walk normally, so he bear crawled into the cave. He had no idea if the cave would hold, so he grabbed her and hurried outside. The area was clear, and being near the highest point, there was nothing to fall on them, so they were safe.
He sank to the ground to ride out the shaking that seemed ceaseless, though it lasted just shy of one minute, and breathed out a curse in Swedish. On the other side of the island, aways offshore from the beach, magma was spewing into the air. 'Holy shit...'
