I fell to my knees in front of him. "Please … don't leave me here." I begged, with tears flowing freely down my face. They wouldn't stop and at this moment, I didn't want to even bother stopping them. I looked up at Godric as he stood on the roof top of Hotel Camilla. He was looking towards the horizon where the sun was slowly approaching. How could he go through with this? After everything that has happened why would he want to end it this.
I had watched Eric from the stairs as he spoke with his maker. Sookie was there, of course. She had watched Eric as he sat there. Sympathy radiating off her and smacking into me. I couldn't handle it anymore and I had run out standing just behind Eric.
Godric eventually commanded Eric to leave his side and go back. One glance at me as he left said it all. It was down to Sookie and I to stop Godric from ending his existence.
"How can you leave Eric?" I asked Godric, "How can … Please Godric." I don't know what I could say to possibly get through to him. We had been through a lot over these last few months, he and I. When he showed up at the Fellowship of the Sun's church, it was like a ray of light had come through. I had been there on the church grounds, locked away from everything. Till they brought Godric into the same building. He could have escaped but he didn't. He saved me … without even knowing it.
Finally, Godric turned to look at me as he came down to his knees slowly. He gently took my face into his hands with a small sad smile on his lips, "My beautiful and darling Sophia … It is time for me to leave this earth. I have been here too long … Eric will understand one day."
I shook my head slowly in his hands. I even brought up my own hands to his shoulders. Gripping them tightly. "Godric, we need you. I know I haven't known you long but I still need you here. You're Eric's father … I know he'd eventually come to terms with you going but I also know he still needs you and your guidance." I was begging with everything I had. I couldn't let him just go like this. A powerful vampire like him couldn't just cease to exist like that. "I am begging you with everything that I am Godric … Not now … Stay here with us, just a little bit longer."
He was looking at me with such a deep intense stare. Taking a deep breath his head fell slightly so he Godric was looking at our knees. "Then it shall be … For now I will stay but I cannot promise that I will stay for long." I nodded my head quickly, grabbing his hands in mine as I burst into more tears. My heart sang as my head fell to his chest.
"Thank you," I whispered, "I could not bear to lose you when I have just found you." Godric stroked me hair softly.
"Come. Let's move inside and go to Eric before the sun truly comes up." Forcing me to stand and move with him to the stairs leading back into the building.
He was safe. He was alive, in a sense of the word. He was here and we had him for a while yet.
