Disclaimer: All True Blood and SMV characters belong to Charlain Harris and Allen Ball I am sadly only playing with them and inserting the Greek Pantheon of the gods. I have altered the Pantheon's roles slightly for the sake of creative merit and hope you enjoy my mental wanderings on the mention of Fae, Human, and Other in Sookie's blood. This is a story based on the Other that has been stated to be there as well as Naill stating that Sookie's Telepathy is not from her Fae heritage.
(Mount Olympus in the Dimension of Divinity. Nyx's Scrying Chamber.)
The son of the mistress of the night our Lady Nyx and the lord of Darkness son of Chaos, Erebus was bored, deathly so. Eternity could be promising or dreadful and at this very moment in time Morpheus Lord of Dreams of Past and Present was at a dreadful state of mind. He sat with his head in his hands, cascading raven colored hair so dark it seemed as if it would swallow the stars filtered between his long fingers. His elbows rested on his knees their pale milk white skin contrasting with the black fabric. His silver silken tee-shirt draped over his broad shoulders as he ponder what next to do. He had already tormented and teased his sibling who shared his mother womb with him Phanatos Lord of Fantasy's and Phobetor Lord of Nightmares to the point that they were terrified of being near him. His younger siblings Hypnos Lord of Sleep and Thanatos Lord of Death where with him pondering their combined state.
Philotes Mistress of Friendship, the Pleasure of Love and Affection their half sister walked into the room taking note of their deplorable state of mind and cheerily greeted the trio. She wore a sweet little sun dress of a delicate pink covered in white flowers, her lovely blond hair contrasting with their darker manes. "My brothers what hath disheartened you so?" She snaked between the three of them as they sat around their mothers scrying pool and planted sweet chaste kisses on each of their cheeks. She pouted cutely her lower lip sticking out as she sat down upon the lip of the pool. "I am bored." Morpheus stated coldly ignoring the cheery gadfly despite the fact her very presence cause him to want to want smile. He knew it was the effect she had on those around her not truly how he felt at the moment.
The tickling sound of playful laughter left Philotes full pouty lips at Morpheus deceleration and caused Hypnos and Thanatos to eye her cautiously. That sound was never good. They knew she had something dancing mischievously at the edges of her mind and it truly frightened them. Even Death knew better then to play with one who could give so much in the way of affection then cruelly rip it away if she was angered. "I can find something to entertain you. A game of sorts, one we could play to annoy the fates if you like. Clotho is terribly serious and and droll in her task and maybe we can trip her up a bit with this new game. Lachesis is so highly irritating acting as if she knows everything and when every mortal creature should pass without even asking us if one of them is of our own blood first. Atropos now there is a woman who should drive you to distraction Thanatos or at least step on your toes a little. I think maybe we can give her a run for her money."
The spritely young woman had all of their attention focused solely on her. She was going to entertain them at the expense of those who had riled her anger as well having stepped on the men's toes a time or to. "What would this game of yours cost us to play dear sweet little sister mine? Do not forget our dear brother Moros who is at the beck and call of the tiresome threesome insuring their decrees are met." Thanatos asked first. He hated having his toes stepped on and was livid when not given choices. Atropos drove him insane and giving her a hard time would assuage his bruised ego. "Oh dear brother the only price you must pay is to interfere in earthly doings. However since all of us are so terribly bored it is quite possible checking in our mortal offspring could be rather entertaining. Far more entertaining then sitting here and moping. As for Moros... my bed will keep him to busy to care." Most of the gods in the Pantheon had abandoned Earth and the mortals their for interfering in the lives of other beings in other dimensions, and realities. Earth had snubbed them and they in turn had returned the favor.
Morpheus sat and stared down his younger sister his eyes narrowing slightly as the corner of his divine lips turned upward. "I agree to this on two conditions, we may only play with a child of direct descent to ourselves and only one. The other is that Phanatos and Phobetor shall play as well and you will get them to do so!." Philotes shifted at the edge of the pool looking uncomfortable. Morpheus always had a hand up. He was born first of the triplets, he saw all dreams and nightmares and he could grant one dreams of the past present and future, he knew everything it was why he was always so damned bored. She knew he would know her scheme but not knowing his made her squirm. "Fine I will do it but you must have picked your player by tomorrow night!" She humphed and pouted before standing up and leaving the room.
Hypnos turned to Morpheus and raised a delicately carved raven eyebrow. "Brother dear whatever are you up to now? Those three witches and their lap dog will give us nothing but grief if they know what we do." Dark eyes the color of the deepest abyss locked onto Hypnos silvery orbs as his voice become soft as silk. "My dear brother we shall play fair, and no one will expect us there since we will only arrive as dreams and apparitions. Our physical presence will always remain here. I am also quite tired of my offspring being treated in an ill manner as well as enslaved by that insufferably human idea of a single god and mythical Jesus buffoon who never existed in the first place." Thanatos nodded in agreement while Hypnos became thoughtful and nodded as well. "Good we agree, we shall convene again tomorrow." Morpheus stood and left the room a large smile spreading across his features.
(Sookie's POV Season 02 Episode 05 "Never Let Me Go" Scene 03)
I entered the hotel room happy and excited I had met my first telepath! Well besides myself of course. It was so exciting, I hoped he would be more amiable to talking to me tomorrow. He had no reason to be afraid I wouldn't give away his secret. I of all people knew what it was like to be scared of who and what I was and what others would do to me because of it. "Sookie where have you been?" Bill's voice caused me to pause in my thoughts I smiled at him sweetly and kissed his cheek as I walked past.
"I was asking the bellboy, if there's a candy machine, what's a continental breakfast…?" I had never heard of one of those before so was honestly curious and hoped to side track Bill with the question. "You cannot wander off on your own. The situation is more complicated than we thought. We don't know nearly enough about the Dallas vampires." His southern accent took on a condescending tone. I hated it when he did that it made me feel like he thought I was nothing more then a child. However if I said anything about it we would fight and I was determined to enjoy this trip.
"They can't touch me. I'm yours. Every single part of me. Completely and totally yours." I used my best vixen voice, letting my breathing become deep as I wrapped my arms around him and looked into his eyes. "I don't think it matters to them, sweetheart." His lips tilted up in the slightest of smiles, I couldn't resist it and I kissed them gently. "As long as it matters to you." I wanted to seduce him not talk and I was trying my hardest by kissing his jaw softly while I spoke.
When he gently pulled me away with his hands and looked into my eyes I knew a lecture was coming. I wanted to sigh and roll my eyes but I refrained and listened to him while staring into his face. I love him but good lord I would rather sex then talk all night long! "Sookie, Sookie, Sookie. Tell me you understand. Promise me you'll do as I say, not because I say it, but for your own sake." This time I sighed softly and closed my eyes a few second to clear the mad that was slowly creeping in and removing the amorous from my system. "Bill, I've known since the airport that we're up to our necks in a big old vampire mess again. I don't want to get beat up or dead, I'm not gonna do anything stupid. Is this room secure, do you think?" I snaked my hands around his waist while I looked around the room trying to keep my breathing husky and my passion high. I wanted to have wild passionate sex with Bill and by all that was holy and sacred I was going to so help me.
"Yeah, I believe so. But…" His brow furrowed slightly as he too looked about our room. I looked up into his face again and smiled brightly. "Then, honey, for a little while, let's not worry. We have something to be happy about." His frown deepened when I said this as if he was confused. "I don't think so." His voice rumbled discontentedly as he replied to my question. I giggled softly and leaned into him pressing my warm body against his firm cold chest. "Yes, we do. We're in a vampire hotel. It's light-tight. For the very first time, you don't have to leave me alone in bed at dawn." I went back to kissing him, his lips, his nose, then I moved to his neck. The frown left his face his voice became as breathless as mine. "I forgot about that." I smiled into his neck before nipping it gently with my teeth. "I didn't." I breathed.
I felt his hands move down my back to cup my bottom as he closed his eyes and titled back his head. Bill was just as excited as I was I could feel his excitement pressing into my belly as I teased him. "My only desire is to keep you safe." His words were so sweet. I rewarded him by biting and nibbling his neck some more as I growled softly. "Your only desire?" I kissed my way back up his neck and along his jaw stopping at his chin and looking at him with the intensity of the lust I felt pooling between my legs. "Well… no." He whispered softly before kissing me into oblivion.
(Mount Olympus in the Dimension of Divinity. Morpheus' personal quarters.)
Morphues face contorted with anger as he focuses on Sookie and Bill making love. He had never been so furious in his entire existence. One of his offspring was being used by this fool child of Thantos. A disgusting vile manipulative bastard and the crones were allowing it. The blood of his blood wouldn't suffer this indignity. In a matter of hours he had gone from bored to so angry his pale features had taken on a hue of red one would associate with having spent an hour in front of Hephaestus furnace. Not only was this man allowed to make a fool of his fore-daughter faeries had killed her mother another one of his scions it was inexcusable. The Fates would not get away with this. The fact they had allowed this in several realities is what had him angered beyond belief. Not one or two but hundreds of them. The deepest insult of all was the fact they let the prankster Faeries drown one of his daughters and would soon be allowed to torture another. His fists clenched at his sides when his deep black eyes opened their depths twirling in angry swirls.
He wasn't going to allow this. Now he knew his sisters game and he understood her anger as it was now his own. A wicked smile crossed his lips as he dove through the prophetic dreams he owned and controlled. He would change this, if he could change the fate in one reality the rest would follow like dominoes and the fates would have to reweave the scene they had woven. His daughter would not be made fool and neither would he. Watching closely he saw something that angered him again. A child of his mother his own sibling as well as the brother to the Fates through a mortal union made immortal by one of Nyx's blessings and the blood of Thanatos was dieing in the sun whilst his daughter watched. He could not let his brother die that way he wouldn't. He called his mother to him with his mind whilst he sent dreams of the future, and visions of the past to his wayward progeny.
"You are upset and distressed Morpheus what has caused your undaunted self become so?" Nyx's mind touched his with the feather of touch of a mother concerned for her offspring. His chaotic orbs closed as he focused on her sensing her thought patterns as they encompassed her infinitesimal duties, lovers and children. "The fates are toying with one of your children and my younger brother I wish to show you." He then sent his mother every second of Godric's life before and after he had been turned vampire, given the blessing of his mother via the blood of cursed creature, to the present, then to the future and his end. His end in the sun feeling abandoned by a faith he had fallowed all his life but after being made as he was never hearing the voice of the divine in his mind. Turning to the faith of the humans concocted god and destroying himself in misery due to the sins he perceived he committed in the eyes of another.
Morpheus felt his mothers rage, anger, regret, and sadness. "Why Morpheus, why do you show me this?" He could feel the tears in his mind as they trailed down his mothers cheeks. Watching the loss of his brother was heartbreaking he was her youngest, her last and she had left him behind to attend her duties. Left him with his father where she though he was safe. The fact her child had been a slave, tortured, raped, beaten and made to hate himself so much tore at her. "Help me save him, help me save him and the girl, she is of my blood and therefore one of yours as well." He told of the bargain with his sister and brothers and what he planned. Nyx agreed to join to him in this endeavor. The Fates had truly been cruel. Her own daughters were torturing their brother and those connected to them She would not, could not allow this happen either.
"Your sister Hemera Lady of the Day, and her consort Aether lord of Light must be called to aid us, Possibly your neice Eos Lady Of Dawns Gate the daughter of Styx. We will need to enable some those of preciouse to us who have been crippled. We will also need Hemera to claim her mortal son I hope that Aether will not hold it against her." Nyx's mind was calling those to Morpheus that she had named whilst she pilphered through his talents and memories like a secretary breaking into a filing cabinet. Morpheus let her invade him. He had not let his mother do this in eon's it was uncomfortable but served a purpose. The game was growing soon it would be so large The Fates would fall or lose their power trying to force their future upon all.
Authors Notes:
I thank you for reading my first chapter I also profusely apologize for any errors found. I am without an Editor or Beta Reader and am looking for those who would be interested in taking up these tasks for me as I continue to write. I also understand the scene between Sookie and Bill is not exactly what occurred in the TV show, however I am trying my best merge both the books and the visual medium together with my own original ideas to create something new. I am open to all thoughts and suggestions and hope you will all encourage me to continue. Sookie will not remain with Bill I promise I will get to removing him from her side in the next few chapters and putting her with those who are better suited to deal with her temperament as well as her stubborn disposition.
