Sookie's Pov

It broke my heart to watch him, to watch such a strong willed creature break down in front of my eyes. He had always acted so cold, so arrogant, so heartless and yet here he was on his knees as he begged for his maker to stay. It was at that point that I knew he was capable of love, that all of his comments of not being able to feel were far from true. If he didn't feel then he wouldn't be begging and pleading for his maker to stay right in front of my eyes. He had a heart; he just needed someone to take care of it.

I remained quiet as I felt my own eyes gloss over at the scene in front of me. How could such a kind hearted vampire wish to meet the sun? What was happening in front of me was wrong, I knew that and just the idea that this wonderful and gentle soul wished to end his life made my heart clench in pain. I knew it was nothing compared to what Eric must be feeling, but I couldn't help but find my own emotions swirling inside of me as I continued to watch. This wasn't right.

It was at that moment that I knew I couldn't just let him go, that I couldn't stand by and watch as such a good hearted person wanted to end their existence, vampire or not. He could do so much for both humans and vampires alike, he was a born leader and a survivor.

"I will stay with him" I whispered as a devastated Eric walked past me, his face smudged red with his tears as he didn't bother to wipe them away. I had after all seen him break down in front of my eyes; the last thing he should be concerned about was how shattered he looked. It was his eyes though which made my heart ache for him, how broken and dejected his normally cocky and arrogant blue eyes seemed. The emotion was so raw that I couldn't help but raise my hand to cup his stained cheek gently, hoping that my eyes portrayed just how sorry I was for what was happening to him. He was losing his maker, his father, his brother and I hated how it was affecting him so much.

He wasn't my favorite person in the world, he infuriated me to be honest, but that didn't mean I was cruel enough to think he deserved this. He was a loyal, confident and nothing like the heart of stone I had thought he was to begin with. He was an incredible vampire, and it pained me that I was only just realizing that now.

"Thank you" I heard him breathe so quietly that I barely heard it pass his lips, his large hand moving to press my hand further against his cheek as he looked at me with such emotion that I found myself stepping further towards him. Nodding I watched as he took one last look at his maker before heading down the stairs, my gaze watching him leave before I looked towards the vampire who was the cause of such heartbreak.

Walking towards him I found myself trembling with a number of different emotions I didn't know how to process, how even though I barely knew the vampire who had created Eric such a long time ago as he stood in front of me gazing into the distance, that just the thought alone of him not being on this earth anymore was enough to make me sick.

"Godric" I breathed, wanting, no needing his attention. I couldn't let him go without a fight, without even trying to make him see reason and change his mind. His was 2,000 years old, but he was far from cold and I hoped I would be able to make him give life another shot, even if it was only for a few more days in the minimum.

I watched as his head turned towards my direction, the lack of emotion in his eyes making me want to sob out-loud at what I was seeing in front of me. He deserved something to make him stay; he deserved someone other than his childe to want him to.

"It won't take long, not at my age" he stated emotionlessly, the lack of care or emotion in his tone making my face fall. Did he really think he had nothing to live for, when he had so much?

"Why are you doing this Godric, truthfully?" I asked softly, my cheeks stinging slightly due to my tears as they ran down my cheeks without any sign that they would be stopping any time soon. I couldn't help but ask, he may have wanted to go in peace but I couldn't help but want to try and find a reason for him to stay. If a fight was what was necessary to get him to change his mind, then he better prepare for a lashing from one Sookie Stackhouse.

"I am old Sookie, old enough for nothing to surprise me anymore" he stated, my lashes wet with my tears as I blinked slowly while my thoughts whirled. I was not the smartest of people, my telepathic quirk meaning that my school life impossible, but I knew I would not be letting this gentle soul meet the sun without a fight. He needed and deserved someone to fight for him till it was no longer possible, I would never forgive myself if I just walked away.

"Don't you think about the things which you could be missing Godric?" I asked carefully, my question seemingly getting his attention as he looked at me with slight surprise in his eyes. It was a relief, to see something other than emptiness in his capturing gaze. Beautiful.

"I have been around long enough to have seen everything my love, what more is there to stay alive for?" he asked curiously, though I could detect a hint of amusement in his tone. Did he think this was funny, that Eric was probably beside himself with grief knowing that is maker is dying and yet not being able to act to save him? Did he really think his death meant so little that he could find amusement in the end of his existence? The thought made me frown, I didn't like it.

"How about love?" I asked, my voice now trembling as I had to resist the urge to touch him, to comfort him like I wanted to. But I knew vampires weren't big on the whole touching thing, and I did not wish to make him uncomfortable if he found my affections unwanted. He clearly had enough on his mind without me adding to it, so I would just have to suck it up and keep my own urges to myself for the time being.

"Love? I am hardly capable of being seen in such a way my love" he breathed out as he broke eye contact with me, looking away as if he actually believed that no-one was capable of loving such a vampire as himself. I couldn't help but stop resisting my nurturing urges, quickly walking towards him as I stood in front of his youthful looking form. Even if he was changed young, he still towered over me just not as much as Eric did.

"That is where you are wrong Godric, who could not fall for you? You are caring, loyal and so kind-hearted that anyone would be pleased to call you their own. So you are so very wrong Godric, if anyone is capable of love then it is you" I breathed as I cupped his pale cheeks in my hands, the coolness of his touch sending a shiver through me as I looked into his deep caramel colored eyes. How could a girl not fall for him?

I watched as his eyes locked with mine, and while I rarely found myself thinking this but I actually wished I could read what was going on in that handsome head of his. He must have seen so much, to know so many things and experienced some incredible events – I couldn't help but find myself wishing that if I managed to persuade him that there was more to life, that he would reconsider wanting to meet the sun so soon, that perhaps he would talk to me about his past. But that was hopefully in the future, that was if I managed to convince him to give life another change, that there was more to live for when he thought there was nothing.

I didn't know how long had passed, and while I knew it was most likely only minutes it felt as if it was hours that I waited for him to speck. It was clear my heartfelt comment had stunned him into silence, and while I had never seen a vampire go into shock I had a feeling that it would look something like this.

"You believe that?" he asked finally, and the amount of hope and doubt in his tone, in his suddenly bright gaze made it impossible not to tighten my hold on his cheeks as my thumbs brushed his cool skin soothingly. How could he think I believed nothing other than what I spoke to him, could he not hear the amount of conviction and confidence in my tone?

"With all my heart" I breathed, before my next actions I am blaming on my attempt to make him stay. Looking into his bright hazel eyes I closed my own baby blue ones before leaning forward, brushing my lips against his in a feature like gesture before pulling away when I realized what I had done.

My eyes widened to an almost comic amount as I slowly opened my eyes to meet his startled hazel ones, my hands quickly removing themselves from his cheeks as I gasped at my actions. Why the hell had I done that? I had Bill, even if he was acting strangely…but he was my love, right?

"Oh Godric…I am so sorry-" was all I managed to get out before his lips were on mine, his eyes closed as his arm wrapped around my petite waist before pulling me flush against him. I couldn't help but gasp at the impulsive action on his part, an unexpected moan falling from my lips when I felt his skilled tongue enter my mouth as he took advantage of my shock. The action surprised me, though I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck as I hesitantly let my tongue dance with his.

It was fair to say that I have never felt something so explosive, and even though the kiss was gentle and slow it still held the passionate that I found myself suddenly craving. I moaned, becoming bolder as I returned the kiss by forcing my own tongue in his mouth to explore, loving his taste and gasping low in my throat when I felt his fangs descend with a sharp click causing me to jump slightly.

I was stunned when be pulled away sharply, my eyes half lidded as I gazed at his suddenly ashamed gaze. What the hell did he have to be ashamed for? He had just given me the best kiss of my life, was I really that bad that he couldn't take it anymore? That stung, though his next comment quickly soothed my negative emotions while making my heart skip a beat.

"I apologize my love, I cannot help my reaction-" was all he got out before I was pulling him back down towards me, my tongue running daringly over his right pincer drawing a low moan from his throat and a growl to rumble in his chest. The next kiss was much more passionate.
