Plot: Two women, both half fae, join Sookie in the search for Godric. What is shocking is their resemblance to the two ancient vampires. Sienna and Celeste are female versions of Eric and Godric. Written from different POVs.
PLEASE READ:
Celeste is like Godric; Sienna is like Eric. Sienna has the strength and speed, and can talk telepathically to Celeste. Celeste can change her appearance and was born a fae, whereas Sienna was not. Celeste has the power of will, where whatever she imagines comes into reality. For instance, if you imagine a hot chocolate in front of you, it would appear. She can speak telepathically with Sienna and other supernaturals, but not humans. They are both empaths and can heal one another to a certain extent.
Celeste's POV
Sienna was pacing angrily around the room. She could escape, if she wished, but I would not let her. Escaping would allow the humans to see that we are supernatural. I was Sienna's maker, in a way. When I was a child, I 'marked' Sienna. Marking is when a full fae gives half of herself to a human. I felt a pull towards Sienna and so I gave her my Strength and speed. Sienna can also heal wounds but only if it is me that is wounded. If I were vampire, I would be called her maker. But the fae call us 'kaey'. This means master.
The downfall of marking is that I lost my strength and speed to her, and so she has to protect me now. Not that she minds.
My Dear. Please calm down. We will be out of this place soon, I promise. Sienna looked down at me from where she stood and smiled. She moved her tall frame and stood beside me where I sat against the wall.
Sookie, the woman who had called us here on a favour, stood by a shelf filled with bibles and other holy objects. The only other person in this room was a male human; Hugo. He had betrayed us and now we sat here, waiting for nightfall when Sookie's vampires would arrive. We had not yet met the vampires, as we arrived only this morning. I saw Sookie's mind when we arrived and found that she thought my Sienna looked and acted like a vampire she knew. How strange...
My Sienna was beautiful, but deadly. She had long blonde hair that was pin-straight, down to her breasts. She was tall for a woman, around 5'11'' and had a slim build, but was rounded where a woman needed to be. I could change my appearance but for now, kept my natural fae appearance. I have Dark hair with white highlights that curls gently down to the bottom of my back. My natural eyes were a ruby colour and I have slightly pointed ears. I have a slim build, like my child, but am slightly more curvaceous in the womanly areas. I am small, in height, around 5'6'' and look around 17 in human age. In truth I am around 26. Sienna has stopped aging also, and looks to be about 25, though she is 26, like me.
Sienna and I had met as children when I 'marked' her and we connected straight away. I had lost most of my fae family when I was a child and came to the human realm. When I met sienna, I was adopted by a couple unable to breed, that were close friends with Sienna's parents. The six of us travelled Europe together for our whole childhood. One year, when Sienna and I were 10, we came to Louisiana to see New Orleans. We were passing through Bon Temps when my fae hearing picked up the sound of a young girl crying far away. So, we followed the sound and found a girl, the same age as us, crying on the ground in the woods. This was how we met Sookie Stackhouse. We stayed the night in Bon Temps and became friends with Sookie. She told us about her power and I told her about ours. When we had to leave, we gave Sookie a number to call if she ever needed us. She never did call.
Until three days ago.
Sienna and I had left our families when we were 16 and continued to travel together. We both spoke several languages and used them often. Sienna always said she loved Sweden when we visited, as she loves the snow. I, however, loved Italy. The buildings there are beautiful and the historical monuments are amazing.
We had accumulated several homes in Europe and one in Louisiana and LA that our families had bought while passing through. A while ago, we had settled down in a German village, deciding not to travel for a while. We had been there when we received the call from Sookie, and booked a flight straight away. We had arrived at the vampire hotel this morning and the four of us set off to this church, after we understood the situation.
Usually, my child and I were careful to avoid vampires, due to the fae blood we had. Being half fae each, our blood was quite potent and so we tended not to associate with the undead. Sookie, however, had promised us that they could control themselves.
And that is how we ended up in this dreary basement. We had been here most of the day now and the sun would be setting in the next hour, I guessed.
Sienna and I were speaking telepathically when Sookie screamed. I stood and saw Sookie was touching the human man, and her eyes were blank, she was reading his mind. Then, all of a sudden she removed her hand and stood back ''you! You betrayed us to the fellowship.'' She accused. I knew it; human men could never be trusted. Sienna crouched slightly beside me and growled at the man. His eyes widened dramatically and I held back a giggle. ''Sienna'' I said calmly. She nodded and stood straight again.
Hugo backed up against the fencing and started rambling on about how mistreated he was by his vampire lover. I got bored quickly and rolled my eyes with a sigh. I silently gave Sienna the permission she wanted and watched as she lithely elbowed him in the neck, rendering him unconscious, hopefully for a while.
Sookie came and sat near me when I kneeled back down and the two of us caught up on each other's lives. Her boyfriend, vampire bill, sounded suspicious and I vowed to stay a while, to keep an eye on the part fae. I guessed that Sookie did not know what she was, but I could smell it on her, as could Sienna.
After a while, footsteps were heard on the stairs and Sienna tensed, feeling the man's lust and anger. I stood again and pulled Sookie behind Sienna and I.
Godric's POV.
I awoke to the sound of a woman screaming when sunset came. I wanted to do all the good that I could before leaving the earth, and so I ripped open the steel door and ran to the place I heard screaming coming from. A blonde human woman was on the floor behind a fence but was no longer screaming. I surveyed the scene quickly. A tall blonde that reminded me of my own child, stood next to a dead Gabe. She smelled of fae, as did another. If I had a living heart, it would have stopped beating when I gazed at the other fae in the room. She was small and had long brunette curls with highlights that shimmered under the dim basement lighting. Her eyes were a glowing ruby colour and her ears were slightly pointed. The tall woman was now beside the girl and I smiled; they looked exactly like myself and Eric, but female. And fae.
I ripped the door to the area open and was inside within seconds. They all looked to me and I noticed an unconscious Hugo on the floor. I looked to the angelic fae, ''are you hurt, little one?'' she pouted and answered, ''hey. I'm not that little.'' Then she giggled. It was a heavenly sound and I wanted nothing more than to hear it again. The blonde human got off of the floor and collapsed into the taller blonde's arms, sobbing. The blonde fae looked uncomfortable and looked to the angel for help. I smirked at this; just like Eric.
C POV.
''What are your names'' the beautiful vampire asked. I answered, ''I am Celeste, and this is my Sienna.'' I gestured to my child. He seemed understand straight away, but asked anyway, ''your Sienna?'' I just nodded. Sienna answered, ''Yes. She marked me when we were children. We are both around 26 now. Coincidently, I stopped aging eight years after my kaey, Celeste, did.'' she explained. I loved her for that; she knew when I did not want to speak, and spoke for me. I smiled at her and she seemed completely happy for that. She grinned back and stepped behind me. I sighed as Sookie moved from Sienna's arms, to mine. I was wearing a short, white dress and a black cardigan that hid the tattoos I had on each arm. I had a zigzag pattern wrapping around each upper arm as a band. It was the mark of a brave woman, and I was given it magically 2 weeks after my birth. I had other tattoos too, but they were easily hidden.
Sookie sobbed into the cardigan and squeezed me. I giggled and pulled her back. ''Calm down.'' I told her. She nodded and wiped her eyes. She thanked Sienna for saving her from Gabe and I took of the now soaked cardigan. When I looked back up I saw the beautiful man staring at the tattoos I wore. He was an old vampire, I could tell, so I guessed that this was Godric. From underneath his white linen shirt, I could see he had tattoos too; they were beautiful. We both looked up from one another at the same time, our eyes connecting. He locked his gaze with mine and held on, whereas I looked up to the ceiling, feeling another presence coming closer.
''Bill!'' Sookie yelled, happily. I shook my head, ''Bill is too young to move that fast. Must be the Eric you spoke of.'' I said. Godric looked to me and smiled. I wondered why. As a vampire kneeled before Godric, looking suspiciously like myself and Sienna, I used my 'will' power, as we called it, to take off my shoes. I now stood in only the thin white dress and started feeling cold due to the damp basement.
Godric spoke to Eric and told him that he should not have sent us after him. Eric stood and looked at me, ''I have never seen these women before.'' He stated.
Sienna spoke, ''Sookie called us in to help, we were in Germany at the time.'' Eric looked at Sienna and stared, seemingly speechless. I smirked. I knew they would be attracted to one another, they were so alike.
Sookie spoke them, ''why were you in Germany? And Hugo betrayed us.'' She dropped the bombshell. Sienna and Eric growled simultaneously and I noticed Godric watching me as I smirked. He did the same and then smiled a genuine smile at me. I answered this time, ''we were in Germany for personal reasons.'' I said cryptically. Sienna looked to me and I nodded, ''we were looking for a pack of Weres. They had wronged us, so we killed them.'' she said simply. Sookie gasped and I casually sat back on the floor, bored. I used 'will' to pop up a lolly and licked it. Godric's emotions swirled at this, and I giggled in my head. He was attracted to me; as I was to him.
Sienna spoke then, ''let's leave, we are hungry'' she looked at me when she said this and I rolled my eyes, ''I am not that hungry, calm down.'' I could after all use my power to get food, but I thought it would be slightly strange of me.
After a few moments arguing, we all left the basement together.
G POV.
She was so beautiful, and will be mine. I no longer wanted to meet the sun; she was my sun, now. Her child, Sienna, wanted Eric, and Eric wanted her back. The human, Sookie, noticed this and I don't believe she was too happy about that. Curious...
We all went up to the main entrance but we were too late, the alarms began to go off and the exit was blocked. We headed to the sanctuary.
3rd Person POV.
The five of them entered the sanctuary, having left Hugo behind. They went for the exit in the back of the room, but were blocked by Steve and his men, Eric and Sienna made a move to kill him, but were stopped by their masters. Godric held an arm protectively around Celeste, and she found she did not mind it. Sienna, however, was wary of the ancient vampire. Celeste could not protect herself, that was Sienna's job, and she was confused in whether to trust the vampire with her Kaey.
Celeste leaned into Godric's arm as the preacher, Newlin, continued his rant. The five of them moved to the side as armed humans entered the sanctuary. Celeste had changer her eye colour to an emerald green, to look more human and her ears were no longer pointed. Godric noticed this and awed at her power. She would be his forever, he promised himself. Sookie stood next to Godric, behind them was Eric, and beside Celeste was Sienna, crouched and ready for attack, as was Eric.
''The war has begun you evil whores of Satan.'' Newlin shouted, after Sookie had begged the humans to save themselves. Godric and Eric growled, disrupting the seemingly calm appearance Godric and Celeste had held. Celeste looked bored, but alert; ready to use her gifts in any attack. She willed a dagger into both of Sienna's sleeves. Sienna wore a long sleeved, tight, black, leather top, with matching leggings and boots. Sienna was always prepared to fight for her Kaey. Godric and Sienna noticed the daggers and he tightened his grip around Celeste, noticing that she expected a fight. As Newlin ranted on about ''holy fires'' and what not, Godric whispered into Celeste's ear, ''There's no need for weapons, dear one. This will be easy to handle, I swear.'' She relaxed in his arms then and turned to look him in the eyes. Godric's heart swelled and he kissed her chastely on the temple. She blushed faintly and lowered her head to nuzzle into his chest. He had both arms around her now and Eric noticed his maker's infatuation. He was confused; Godric had never taken a mate before, in all his two thousand years. What was so different about this one? Eric had to admit though, that she was a beauty, as was her child. Godric had explained to him on the way up what they were. The one Godric wanted had 'marked' the beautiful warrior he found himself desiring. He knew she wanted him too, he could feel it. Sookie noticed this as well, and felt slightly upset about it; not that she would admit that to herself. She missed Bill and was angry that he was not here to protect her as Eric and Godric were there for Sienna and Celeste.
Four men tried to take Celeste from Godric, and he growled at them. But before he could make a move, Sienna had sliced the throats of two of them and Eric held the other two by the throat. Godric and Celeste smiled; they could always count on their children.
Steve looked shocked at the situation he found himself in. If he continued, his men would be killed. Before he could make a decision, the doors flew open and Bill flew into the room. Steve raised a gun, pointing it at Sookie's head and Bill snarled, ''If you shoot her, everyone here will die!'' he warned, ''Bill!'' Sookie shouted, relieved.
Celeste narrowed her eyes at the vampire, and Sienna did the same. She did not trust him at all, and would find out what his agenda was. Godric noticed her mistrust for the vampire and wondered at the reason. Nevertheless, he held her closely in case the vampire tried to attack. Before anything could be done, a pained cry shot from Newlin's mouth, drawing the attention of all present. He had a red paint-ball stain on his forehead and the gun clattered to the ground. At that point, Sookie's brother, Jason, came out from behind the pillars, only to be grabbed by two men. ''Jason!'' Sookie shouted.
Newlin went to stand back up but 30 or so vampires entered the room and Eric held him by his throat. The one that seemed to be leading the horde of vampires said, ''you expect us to sit on out thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us? We'll kill ya' first, same way we did your father.'' At this all the vampires grabbed a human and Newlin yelled. Godric sighed and interfered, ''enough! There had been enough bloodshed. Release the humans, underling.'' He commanded, never letting go of the angel in his arms. She continued to nuzzle into his chest, loving the way he smelled.
Godric felt a pull to the woman in his arms and realised it must be the mating pull, as his child felt a similar thing towards Sienna. All the vampires had obediently dropped the human they held and stood together now, by the door. Godric reluctantly let go of Celeste and took Newlin from his child. ''Who of you is willing to die for this man?'' silence answered his question. ''Go home people. It is over. Go home.'' They all did as asked and left the sanctuary. Godric commanded his underlings to go to his nest, where they would catch up.
Celeste dropped her glamour and looked full fae once more. Godric went to her, as did Sienna, and Eric followed. Sookie stood in Bill's arms and they waited by the door for the four still standing by the alter. Sienna kneeled before her Kaey, but was pulled back to her feet and into her mistress' arms. ''So, can we go? I'm starving.'' Celeste said. Godric and Eric chuckled. Godric took her in his arms once more and said, ''come my dear one, we will go to my home.'' She nodded and they walked outside. Once outside, Godric found a car that was left by one of the underlings and got in the backseat with Celeste on his lap, and sienna beside her. Sookie sat next to Sienna, and Bill and Eric sat in front. Eric drove to the nest and they arrived within minutes.
