Summary: Sookie isn't who she appears to be; she's not exactly human. She gives Godric what he desires most but will he except it and not kill himself?
Thanks to my friend Heather for helping me revise.
Chapter One
She watched near tears as Eric fell to his knees, begging Godric not to kill himself by meeting the sun. Godric gave him a sad smile, saying he wanted God's judgment and, if possible, his forgiveness. Eric slowly stood walking towards her, tears made of blood falling freely down his face. As he approached the spot where she stood, her resolve broke in half. She just hoped her father and brother would forgive her for what she was going to do.
"I'll stay with him for however long it takes." she whispered the promise to him as he paused to stare at her in anguish. He nodded in silent thanks before going back inside the building to his suite.
Sookie gave a soft sigh as she slowly approached Godric who had his head bowed down to the ground.
"How does he punish?" he looked at her with a deep sadness residing in his eyes.
"God doesn't punish. He forgives, always forgives those who ask for it." she spoke softly shocking him with those words. Tears started to slowly fall from her watery blue eyes. Godric glanced up to the sky as it started to rain softly down on them.
"Godric, do you really want forgiveness for the things you have done?" more tears fell from her eyes and down her cheeks.
"More than anything." he gave her a deep frown of confusion head cocked to the side. She looked down before giving a sign of acceptance of what she was about to do knowing it was going to cause her to be in a lot of trouble in.
"Ask of me and you shall receive what you seek dear one." she spoke in a lighter more angelic soft unworldly voice.
"I do not understand?" he spoke staring at the female in more confusion at her new voice and words. Sookie slowly closed her eyes letting her true self be reveled to the two thousand year old vampire.
Godric actually gasped as her appearance changed completely. She now was seventeen but her body was well developed still. Her hair fell to her waist in soft golden waves. Her skin was now a healthy contrast between tan and pale clear ivory. She wore a one-strap tight pure ice silver floor length dress, the right side had a slit all the up to her mid thigh. No shoes, just silver and gold anklet's, a silver and gold circlet rested gently and softly upon her head.
Upon her back were what shocked him the most. A pair of pearl-white angel wings, that were about 5-6 feet in width and 3-4 feet in length.
"Who are you, really?" he asked with shock and awe at the angel before him. He highly doubted if his childe or the other vampire knew about her secret. "I am the Angel of Forgiveness and Hope. Younger sister to Michael the Leader of the Archangel's and Protector/ Guardian of Heaven and its Gates. Ask of me and you shall receive what you desire." giving him a soft smile she took a step forward holding out her hand for him to take.
Godric knew this was what he had been asking for, for a long time. So moving slowly he knelt in front of her with his head bowed. "I ask of you Angel for forgiveness. Though I do not deserve it for what I have done." he spoke in a soft tone.
Sookie knelt on the ground grabbing his hand while pulling him to his feet shocking him.
"You do have forgiveness. Everyone deserves it. All I ask of you is for you not to kill yourself. Suicide is not the way to go. I'm afraid that is one thing god will not forgive you for. Your time will come as will everyone else's, trust me. So live and try to find happiness." she smiled hugely up at him as shock took over his features completely.
Godric was in complete shock. Not something that has happened in over two thousand years. He gave her a slow nod as she made her human appearance come and her angel one disappear. She ran, holding his hand, as they raced to escape the sun.
They now stood in front of Eric's suite door. Sookie knocked, and after a minute of him not answering, she barged right in with Godric right behind her. Eric jumped up with an icy glare that turned into shock at seeing his maker standing right behind Sookie with a smile on his face.
The Next Night
She watched as everyone came to greet and profess their happiness that Godric didn't meet the sun.
"We owe all our thanks to Sookie Stackhouse for convincing Godric to stick around for a while longer!" shouted Farrell raising his glass to her as she gave a bright blush at the other praises that accompanied Farrell's.
Waving them off she decided to go have a talk with Isabel since they had grown somewhat close over her stay in Dallas. Both talked laughing softly over something that Stan said nearby.
"Hey doll what kind of glitter or lotion are you wearing. It's making you seem like you're glowing a little." Farrel spoke to Sookie motioning to her skin.
Glancing down she looked at her hands. As she noticed what Farrell was seeing, she gasped and dropped her glass, letting it shatter on the floor.
"Sookie!" shouted Isabel gaining everyone's attention.
They gasped as they saw her start to glow brighter.
Sookie looked up with tears filling her eyes as they met Godric's shocked face.
"It is my fate. I am being called home to be sentenced. Though I do not regret what I have done." she gave him a watery sad smile as she felt the pull on her soul.
Godric walked forward placing his hand softly on her cheek. "Is this because you gave me forgiveness?" he asked softly as her human appearance gave way, showing her angelic one.
Gasps filled the air as they saw her angel features and wings appear.
"No, I gave up what an Angel is forbidden to give up. It was the only way to fully give you forgiveness. And this is not something I can ever regain back, nor would I want too. Do not be sad or guilt-filled. It was my choice and mine alone." she placed her hand over his as tears slowly fell down her face from her crystal blue eyes
"What have you given up to save me?" he demanded of her with a narrowed-eyed look, hoping it wasn't too great of a sacrifice.
"My heart. It is now forever yours to do with as you please." she said. Leaning up, she lightly kissed Godric before disappearing completely from view and earth.
Godric stood frozen in place as a million thoughts raced through his head.
"I will return someday." came her whispering voice before her presence disappeared completely. He knew she would keep that promise, till then he would wait for her. He waited two thousand years for someone like her, what's a little more waiting gonna do.
