A NEW LIFE FOR GODRIC

Chapter 1

Realisation and cold hard truth

Flashback

"Godric? Please don't do this. Erik will not survive it. I know you love him as a father does their child. You know it too. He is too stubborn to admit it though. He still needs you to pull him into to line at times. Yes, I said and believe god forgives, but I will not. This is suicide and you know it. Do not meet the sun Godric; you know it is wrong Godric. If you meet the sun then I may as well jump off the roof and hope I don't survive. You have someone who loves you here and I am even feeling some weird sensation towards you. But I have no family and my friends think being friends with me is safer than being against me. So I don't have any reason to live."

Sookie was pleading with this ancient vampire. But while doing this she felt something towards this obviously much, much older vampire that she never felt with Bill. It's odd, really, because of what bill has done to her, she doesn't even want to be with Bill anymore, but he will not take no for an answer.

"Will you look after him? Eric, I mean" he asked her.

Sookie was persistent, "if not for yourself or Eric … then please … live for me, I need you to do that."

What the flip. Where did that come from, she knew she meant it, but to actually voice it, wow. He held his hand out and Sookie placed hers in his. He walked with her back to the stairs. She was worried, but what else is there to do. All her family are gone and the only one remaining doesn't want a thing to do with her.

Present time

Now she is sitting in Eric's suite praying that he will not be very angry for what she did. They have built a sort of friendship up over time and he doesn't try to get her in to his bed as much these days. Even Pam smiles genuinely when Sookie greets her. Eric senses her distress over this and he seen that she needed clothes and a bath. She wouldn't go to Compton, Eric is relieved his maker decided to come in and not meet the sun. But Eric wonders why, because when he asked her out of concern why she didn't go to bill

She simply said "He doesn't understand 'no' when I say it. I can't be single when I want to be. He won't even let me have alone time. He even sits at Merlotts all the time I am there working."

She was at the nest when it was bombed by a FOTS member. She read the mind of the killer so we all got enough warning in time to save at least part of the nest.

Erik went to Godric and spoke quietly in his ear; he in turn looked to Sookie and noticed her injuries and her distress. He murmured to Erik and next minute Erik was standing with her again. Erik guided her to the bedroom.

"Sookie you need to clean up. Don't worry, I will not insist on washing you down."

She was relieved he felt her relax a little.

Isabel came over and handed Sookie some PJ pants and a baseball shirt and a tank top along with lounge pants. She was thankful she liked the lounge pants they were cerise pink, not normally Sookie's colour, but they were comfortable so she chose them over the PJ pants and baseball shirt. Erik ran to the bathroom, next minute she heard the bath being filled. Her panic meter was overloaded; he walked out with a small smile on his face and picked her up as she staggered a little. She didn't fight it. He stood her up on her feet in the bathroom then kissed her temple

"You are no longer that which I want to fuck, my dear Sookie, I wish only for your good health and happiness. You are settling into my unbeating heart as a sister would."

She was shocked to say the least. She smiled a genuine smile, "thankyou Erik, I really do love that idea, big brothers are meant to be a pain in the ass after all, right?"

He laughed at that and walked out, Sookie stripped and sank into the bath. She closed her eyes and relaxed.

It was some time later when she heard a slight knock on the door, she whispered, asking

"Who is it?"

"Godric. Are you at least discreetly covered, Sookie? I need to speak to you quietly without others listening."

She hasn't known him long, but she had this feeling that he could be trusted, she was feeling that tug on her heart again when he was in her thoughts or near her.

"Yes, you can come in now."

She knew she was barely covered but she also knew she wouldn't deny him if he did want to do anything, she knows he wouldn't force her.

He walked in quietly, looking straight at her face, she smiled softly at him, and he still felt that strange feeling towards her, as if she was drawing him to her. It's like a sirens call. He had spoken to his child about this woman; and about Bill Compton as well. They are not bonded. She didn't want to be with him and he would not take no for an answer. It is not the way for a vampire to force a human to stay with them; there are certain laws for vampires to abide by. He smiled at her and sat on the edge of the great spa bath.

"Sookie, I hear you do not wish to leave too early you want to discover a little of the nightlife in Dallas. I also wish to ask if we could get to know each other a little better. I know it is rather forward of me, but you make me feel something, it is like a pull towards you. I hope I do not scare you at all."

He stopped talking waiting for her to answer; he could see a few different emotions running across her face and in her eyes. She slowly lifted up to stand before he even registered it. She was covered in soapy bubbles all over. He tried to turn away but she asked him

"Please can you wash the blood off my back, please?"

She turned around to face the wall so he could see what she was talking about. He picked up the soap and wash cloth then lathered it up he watched his hand as he washed her gently all over her back, she was caked in blood some vampire and some human. She sighed at the feeling, this is a sound he hasn't heard in many a year.

"I am glad you decided to stay and live Godric." She paused for a minute and noticed he was washing her slowly along her arms as well. She sat back down. Suddenly he was washing her hair. "Godric?"

"Yes Sookie?"

"How can I get Bill to leave me alone, I am not bonded with him so he has no hold over me; but when I say anything to end it, he gets persistent and then I am stuck with him unless he is sleeping."

She actually didn't want to say anything but she needed advice

"Do you love him?"

"No. I used to be … infatuated … I s'pose is the word, because I cannot read a vampires mind so it was fascinating at first. I grew to like him a lot. But he changed, for the worse."

She was really exhausted but this bath was relaxing and comfortable. She sank back into it. Then she heard it, the voices were hard to ignore from the outer room.

"Where's Sookie, I want her now. She is mine; you can't have her Eric, NEVER."

"I can't go out there … no. please, no … he will do it again … I can't. Please Godric,"

She whispered in a low scream. What the hell did Compton do to her; this got Godric worried and curious,

"Sookie, what did he do to make you fear him. You can trust me. I will not get mad at you. You have suffered, you are the victim."

She turned towards him and didn't care what she was in or the fact that she is naked.

"It hurts when he does it, he doesn't care and he hits hard ….."

She mumbled the rest but Godric heard it. He placed his fingers on her chin lifting her head to meet his eyes.

"Where does he hit you?"

She stood and faced him, rinsing the soap suds off so he could see all that Bill Compton has done. Then she slowly turned. She was bruised and his fang marks were not cared for, nor closed over for her. When Godric saw her rib cage and he touched it gently, she flinched, she has a cracked rib.

"Are any of these from tonight's dramas?"

"Only my bruised hip from Gabe, also this bruise on my cheek."

"Sookie, he should never have done this to you. My gods, I feel something for you, I am drawn to you Sookie. But knowing how you have been treated makes me think you would never want another creature in your life. We are such heartless beings, those that aren't, have the potential for being one."

Sookie grabbed a towel and wrapped herself up in it. She hopped out and went to him, she needed to be held. She knew he needed comfort too. He wrapped his arms around her gently.

"I feel it too, Godric. It is rather strong for me, I don't know about you. I can't help but think of you and it hurts when I am not near you."

He was smiling as she said this, he felt the same way.

"I must go and settle all that is happening, it has quietened, but I am needed. Get dry and dress for bed, I shall come and talk later."

She nodded her head, as he left; she walked over to the bed and put the lounge pants on. She spoke out for Isabel to hear

"Thank you Isabel, for the clothes."

She brushed her hair then hopped into bed.

After a while the door opened and Eric was standing there he was pissed off at something.

"Sookie. Is this true? Did Bill hurt you, please tell me you're alright. Why didn't you say something to me before?"

He crouched down beside the bed with his head on her leg whispering how sorry he was that he didn't know. This isn't like Eric.

"Eric? Please do not worry; I can heal from most of it. I do not want you to lose your job as sheriff of area five. I won't have an excuse to go to FANGTASIA to visit and tend bar if you lose your area over someone like Bill."

He stood up, "please show me where he hurt you; I will not react at all. Godric has told me how you are afraid of us, because of what Bill done."

Sookie slowly stood, and winced from the injured rib. She let Eric help her stand straight. She lowered her pants down to her knees. And then took her tank top off but left her bra on as he would see the injuries without her taking that off. Just then Isabel came in with food. She gasped at what she saw, Sookie just smiled slightly

"This isn't Erik's doing, he needed to see what Bill did to me."

Tears were filling Sookie's eyes quickly, Eric wiped them away gently. Isabel sped over and walked around sookie as did Eric, they noticed all the injuries. She pointed out the two from tonight's events. And then she pulled her clothes back on. They both held her gently to them. Once Eric helped her back on to the bed, they walked out so she could eat in peace.

Godric knocked and came in and he walked over to the bed. He knelt down to kiss her forehead whispered

"I have a gift if you wish to receive it, it is not material it is a part of me."

She looked at him slightly puzzled. "What is it?"

He smiled, "I would like for bill to never touch you again and I want you as my mate. So to get both of those I propose we blood bond. But it is up to you."

"First, how would you expect me to behave, to react; would you grow to hate that I am one of those women that like her independence, says what she feels even if it is in anger, because I do snap out of it and if I find my words are wrong I give my apologies for them. Also where the hell do I live and …"

He kissed her gently silencing her. "Sookie. My mate. You are a wonderful woman who is like a ray of sunshine in our dark lives. But eventually I do wonder, would you die and leave me, as you want to stay human?"

She thought about that for a while, "It is an open topic. With my blood being what it is I don't age as quickly as normal humans. And yours will ensure that. So I can wait and see how it goes for a year."

They both sat there while she thought about it

"At least I could give Eric hell for all the shit he gets into." She giggled

Godric smiled. "I take it that that's a yes to bonding with me then."

She nodded her head "but isn't it stronger and unbreakable when you do it three times?"

He nodded his head, "yes. I am going to do the bonding three times because I feel so strongly for you."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and he held her gently. Just then Erik rushed in

"Stan heard Bill in his suite after he listened in on me and Isabel talking about the severity of Sookie's injuries from him and the bite marks not being cared for. He is there now. I need your help, Isabel will stay with Sookie."

He rushed it all out in one breath. They both ran out and Isabel came in sitting on the bed with Sookie, she started talking movies and TV shows. Sookie found that she got a laugh out of a movie called twilight.

"Isabel? I wonder if they sparkle all over their body."

Isabel was a little surprised but laughed with Sookie. Sookie found the comedy duo from years back of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill a hilarious thing. There movies were fantastic even Isabel agreed with her on that.

"Sookie, tell me what action movies or stars do you like or even melt over?"

Sookie thought for a minute, "Vin Diesel and Jason Statham and there's also Clive Owen and Dwayne Johnson, aka the ROCK. Also about a third of the WWE roster. But the one I really do admire out of them is Mark Calloway, his gimmick, the character he plays up for the fans, is called the undertaker. He is freaking fantastic. Most of them have to change their gimmick too many times and disappear for months to get back in with the fans. But marks gimmick only ever changed outfits, and got some freaking awesome bikes too. You should watch some of it one day. There's plenty of DVD's and they used to be called WWF. So go check it out. There are some great gimmicks in there. But for now I need to worry about some down time for my mind Isabel, please."

"I can sit out in the outer room if you like, Sookie."

Sookie opened her eyes, "just lay up on the bed beside me Isabel."

Isabel laughed softly at that and lay upon the other side of the bed. She watched Sookie go into what vampires call downtime, it rests your mind or body but you're not in your sleep stage. She seen her breathing regulate into soft breaths, her heartbeat slowed to a steady rhythm. She seemed relaxed. Isabel could sense she was not asleep. But she did need this down time, her body needed it.

About half hour later the front door to the suite flew open and Isabel was up and at the bed room door, crouched and ready.

"It is us, Isabel, Godric and Eric."

They walked to her and they had Stan between them. She gave him that look that says 'don't even try it.' He sat there on the floor quietly. Godric went in to see Sookie, Isabel sat with Eric and watched Stan as he calmed down to some normalcy, Eric wondered 'and they say I am ill tempered.' He smirked inwardly at this. They heard Godric say

"Do not let anyone disturb us, the bonding begins now."

So Eric and Stan stand guard over the bedroom door and Isabel stands guard at the front door, she takes Farrell with her.

Soon after, in the bedroom …..

"Godric, please … it feels so good. Oh god … please … now."

He sinks his fangs into her breast and as he is doing this he slows his strokes of his fingers down inside her, and uses his other hand to open his neck for her, she latches on and drinks. While she orgasms all over his fingers. She screamed out the end of her orgasm,

"Oh my god, Godric."

They both look deep into each other's eyes. They kiss slowly and he watches as they kiss … her eye lids flutter, never actually staying open nor closing.

They held each other.

"When do we do the second bond and the final?"

"The second one will be done after you've finished eating. I do not want to rush this, but we will have to be a lot quicker than I would prefer."

Sookie just nods her head, "I will eat what I left over today."

He smiles at that and she finished her salad and ate her fruit but that's all she could eat. She is now quite full. But there is something she has now got the taste for and Godric can sense it. She is looking at him with eyes hooded in lust and passion he can feel her love for him through the bond now. He flips over on top of her careful not to put all his weight on her. She kisses all around his neck. He returns the favour. He slowly kisses all the way down to her inner thighs and licks all the way to her inner folds and strokes her clit with his thumb as he proceeds to slide his tongue all through her inner folds. He sticks it into her opening and she moans at the feeling. He started to use his tongue to fuck her while she moans out in pleasure. Then as she reaches her climax he licks her inner thigh and sinks his fangs in and drinks from her. Then Godric uses his nail to quickly open his other wrist then he goes back to pleasuring her while she drinks from his wrist. She falls over the edge of utopia with her orgasm.

He climbs back up and kisses her all over her body. He notices her injuries are all gone now. He gets up and runs to the bath room and starts the shower up then he runs back to the bed as she is sitting up still feeling the aftershocks of her orgasms. She is feeling so light. Godric quietly chuckles. He walks with her in his arms to the shower as she is already naked from their bonding session. He stands her there while he washes her all over and he proceeds to scrub himself in vampire speed. He picks her up and she wraps her legs around his waist so she can lock her ankles at his lower back. He wastes no time this time, he slides into her while she is so relaxed because he is a whole lot bigger than most other males. It would take both her hands to hold onto it and that's just most of the length she hasn't even covered its full length yet. But being a vampire must do some wicked shit to your body. She knows how thick it is because it is stretching her more.

Godric groans and snarls out in pleasure.

"Sookie, you're so tight, so moist. You smell so sweet. You are MINE. YOU ARE MY MATE."

He thrusts into her harder and just as she urges him to go faster he speeds up as the unadulterated lust driven desire takes over. After a few more plunges he roars out in a primeval way that came from deep within his chest, from the depths of his soul, as he slips into blissful oblivion, taking Sookie with him.

"Drink from me Sookie as I will you."

They tasted each other and after that, they closed eyes and relaxed. They went to the bed to lie.

It was only about half hour later that the pull of the sun was too much to ignore anymore. So everyone went to their rooms and locked up for the night, Eric of course used Godric's room as his father and Sookie had his. He was happy that they solved more than one problem tonight among all the other shit. But Nan Flannigan is another story. She will be here at first dark in his original room. Because that's the room number that he rattled off first.
