Chapter 1
Sookie's POV
I wait until we are alone on the roof, then I teleport over to Godric and kneel before him, weeping silver tears. I have never kneeled before a man other than my True Father.
General POV
"Your tears are silver," Godric states with true curiosity.
"Please don't do this; the world needs you, you are too important to leave." Sookie says, completely disregarding his comment about her tears.
"Do you believe in God?" He asks which surprises her.
"I believe in most of them. Aphrodite is currently my patron Goddess, but I recognize many, including the One True God, The Father of All." She states honestly.
"Do you think any of them will forgive me for my sins?" He asks with true curiosity. He had never known anyone to recognize all the Gods.
"The Gods don't forgive." As she states this, Godric loses what little hope he had left. But then she continues, "They give everyone a way to gain forgiveness, a way to make amends and earn their redemption. And I can guarantee you that suicide is not one of their ways." She finishes with true conviction.
"I was hoping that by handing myself over to the FOTS it would show them that we are not all the monsters that they portray us as, and that some of us regret the things that we have done over the years. I also thought it would prevent any of the vampires of this area from being taken against their will. I guess I thought that was my way of making amends. That is why I did not fight them when they made their kidnapping attempt." Godric states with sadness in his eyes.
"You were wrong. The FOTS will never stop, not until someone stops them. They are filled with hate, not the love of their God. You, on the other hand, can do so much good because you have evolved, where many vampires have not. Vampires respect you; you can show them the way." Sookie can tell that Godric is contemplating everything she has said.
"Do you feel the pull as well? I have felt it since the moment I saw you. Then you saved me, and I knew I didn't deserve an angel like you; although, if I might add, neither does Compton." He states the last part with a small smirk.
"You are right. Compton does not deserve me, which is why I have not given myself to him. I hate that he has gotten his blood in my system. I must admit that it has become quite tiring, having to make myself resist the influence of his blood." She sighs. "You may be right about William, but you are wrong about yourself. I was made for you and you were made for me. Yes, I have felt the pull from the moment I saw you. Please, reconsider; give me a chance to show you that you can do more good by staying undead." She begs at the end, while still kneeling in front of Godric.
