"I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted
In my brain still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash
Of a neon light tat split the night
And touched the sound of silence"
The Sound Of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel
SHADOWS BENEATH THE DARKNESS
Chapter One
Sound Of Silence
I walked barefoot along the beach of Galveston, which was along the gulf of Mexico. Eric had just bid me goodnight. I was proud of him, he had found someone to love. Thinking of all the pain I had caused innocent humans in my existence I had decided to come here and wait for the sun. I planned to let the sun take me that was until I heard a loud scream. Wasting no time I followed the sound to find a woman on her back in the sand with a big muscled man on top of her as she demanded he get off of her. I reached down and grabbed him by the back of the neck, hauled him to his feet.
"I suggest you leave now."
"If I don't." he was glaring at me with contempt.
"I do not look kindly on those who hurt woman." He snorted.
"Whatever," He mumbled under his breath as he stalked off. Looking down, I was amazed by what I saw. She was more beautiful than any goddess and I recognized her from sookie's wallet, that beautiful bronze skin and dark thick curly hair. As I offered her my hand, she reluctantly took it. She was wary of me, so I tried to ease her.
"I am Godric."
"I'm Tara."
