"Avoiding Selene mostly," Eric said honestly. He respected Selene, maybe liked her in some ways. He had been attracted to her at first but her hard demeanor had turned him off quickly. "She thinks that as the oldest vampire in Everett I'm now the Vampire Authority. You know how much I love The Authority."
It was the fucking Authority that had caused Eric to release Pam to begin with. If he had known that the Authority would fall apart so fast he never would have done it. He regretted that decision now but he would never regret trying to protect her. Even though he had released her he knew they would never be far from each other. Perhaps it was for the best as she had her own progeny to worry about now.
"She wants me to lead the charge on taking down Jessica's killer. Since Jessica's killer is an unstoppable, unkillable hell god I'm not certain how I'm supposed to do that," Eric said. He knew Pam wouldn't want him going anywhere near Glory and he couldn't blame her. If he still had the power to say so, he would forbid her from doing it. She may listen to him anyway but she was no longer obligated to do everything he told her as she had once been.
At least Eric had one advantage over everyone. He could fly. His entire line was capable of it and he planned to help Pam learn soon. It had taken him a few centuries to get it right but Pam was smarter than he was at just over a century. She would pick up on it fast. If Glory came near he could just fly away.
