As the summary says, this is just an idea I've been playing with for a little while. Just tell me what yall think of it.

Godric stood looking out in the direction of where the sun was going to rise in a few minutes. He had failed as the sheriff of his area. The Fellowship of the Sun had sent a person into his nest and killed vampires and humans. No matter what he did, humans and vampires never seemed to get along. It was his one goal was make peace between the two races.

The door to the roof opened behind him. He already knew who it was, so he didn't bother to turn around. This was his decision.

"Godric, please don't do this. Please don't do this." Eric pleaded with him, his voice starting to break.

As much as he wanted to make his child happy, in this instance he couldn't do it. It was his time to part with this world. He'd lived in it long enough.

"I'm sorry my child, but my time has come to an end." Godric said in a very passionate voice.

He felt Eric fall to his knees behind him. The sound of Eric's controlled sobs reached his ears. It hurt him beyond anything he'd ever felt.

Godric turned to look at Eric. There were stains from tears of blood running down his fair face. Even on his knees, Eric's head was only a few inches below Godric's chest. He felt Eric's hands ball up in the fabric of his shirt.

"You can't go Godric. This wasn't your fault. It was out of your control. Some humans will never understand us, but a lot of people do." Eric said in a voice that was very unlike him.

"I know my child; however this is where it must end. I have lived my life many times over." Godric said softly like he was talking to a young child, "Please just go."

Eric looked up into his maker's face. Seeing the truth and choice in Godric's eyes, he slowly stood and walked back towards the door. Sookie, having seen the whole exchange, didn't want to give up on Godric just yet.

Godric turned back towards the impending sunrise. Slowly Sookie took a few steps towards the gentle vampire. He heard her but didn't turn around.

"What Eric said is true. A lot of people get along just fine with vampires. You guys haven't been around in the open that long. Things like us trusting you are going to take a little bit of time. It's not going to happen overnight." Sookie said, chuckling internally at her slight pun.

He turned around then giving her a look that said that he hadn't really seen it in that light before.

"I'd never really thought of it as being based off of trust. But you are right. We must trust you as much as you must trust us." He said with a small smile gracing his lips.

He was quiet for a second before he let out a sigh and continued,

"Yet, with the acts some of us commit it's no surprise you fear us. I used to be one of them, the type of vampire that ran around just killing because I could. I have taken many lives just because I was capable of killing."

A single tear snaked its way down his pale chin. Sookie walked forwards and put one hand on his shoulder. With the other hand she wiped away the tear.

"Do you want to know what the major difference is between you and those other vampires?" She asked looking into his eyes. He didn't say anything so she answered for him.

"The difference is that they kill people knowing that it's the wrong thing and will not see the error of their ways. Where as you killed people, but you saw what you were doing for what it was. Even if it took time for you to see it, you said it yourself that that realization comes with age. They will continue to kill and be monsters, while you will realize that compassion is the true key."

Godric let his mind ponder over what Sookie had said. She was right again. What set him aside from the monsters was that he felt compassion.

"Please Godric; give the world some time to mature. Give the world some time to realize the compassion they need to survive." She pleaded just like Eric had only moments ago. It felt like hours ago, when he'd stepped out onto the roof with the plan to meet the sun. Now he didn't think he could do it.

His brown eyes meet Sookie's eyes. That's when he realized that he really wasn't ready to give up just yet. Just then the sun started to peek more around the horizon.

"Thank you Sookie. You have helped me see through the fog."

With that use his vampire speed to escape inside just as the sun came into view. Sookie smiled to herself. She had done it, she'd saved Godric.
