Godric sat on the couch across from the vampire called Compton and his human, the Stackhouse girl. He had no idea why this meeting required their presence, they were not from his area or apart of his nest. This irritated him. The authority were always dragging innocent bystanders into these messes. Eric employed the vampires human to help find him, it definitely made since that he was here. Godric narrowed his gaze at his progeny as he watched him glancing over at the Stackhouse girl. He couldn't believe Eric would stoop as lowly as to hire underlings to search for him. Was Eric serious about finding him using a telepath who couldn't even read the minds of vampires? Godric new better than that. Eric was up to something.
Godric moved his gaze to the girl. She was fairy. The distinct smell of the fae he would never forget..no matter how faint. Fairies were intoxicating. A drug of choice for all old vampires who remembered them from the old days, and the war that chased them out of this realm. Godric looked down to his feet when the girl caught his gaze. Not out of insecurity but because he didn't want to match anyones gaze at the moment. He felt fatigued from the bombing on his nest last night. It was his fault they infiltrated his nest by means of doing harm. What did he expect would happen after all of his nest jumped the Fellowship of the Sun the way they did? How could Eric have allowed such a thing to happen. He should have come alone. Easier to get away with what he was originally trying to do. Perhaps Eric new of this. Perhaps Erics unorthodox methods were because he was scared to find his maker in an uncompromising position that he would have no control to make better. Afterall Godric had never been captured by humans before. Eric must have known something else was awry. If so his progeny was smart. That he liked.
Halfway through the meeting with Nan there was a loud pop and a swirl of color behind Eric. Eric looked to Godric and sat up a little straighter but never turned to look at the commotion as if he was aware of what was happening already. Godric broke his progenys stare and watched as a young girl appeared and moved to stand behind Eric. She was beautiful with long golden curls and a small curvascious frame. Bright colored eyes and a dashing smile that lit up the room and caused all the vampires who had, to retract there fangs. She moved quickly to stand behind Erics chair, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I apologize for being late. I thought I had more time. It is unusually difficult to match time from my realm to your dimension in this time space continuam. Sometimes I get lost. Did you find your maker?"
As if already knowing the answer she locked eyes with Godric and smiled wildly.
"Yes. No thanks to you." Eric answered narrowly.
"Eric who is this!?" Nan ordered.
"She is my…" Eric hesitated to find a word that suited the girl. Looking to his maker as he did so. "..my ward."
The girl laughed. "Your ward!? Seriously North Man?" She moved to the side alittle so that her body was not hidden behind Eric and bowed to Nan. "I am called Imogen. I am not from your world but I know of it. I am Erics and I was to help him find his maker." Again as if already knowing who he was she locked eyes with Godric once more. "I am sorry for apparating in the middle of your meeting. I feel Eric only and I can not always know if the timing to my apparitions are inconvenient."
She was met with nothing but stares and she turned to Eric. "Perhaps I will return to you at a later time."
"No." Everyone looked to Godric as he stood up. "I am bored with politics. You will stay with Eric now. I want to know who you are."
Imogen said nothing but smiled softly and bowed to Godric. He scooted to the left putting distance between him and Isabel. He patted the space between them and looked to Imogen. In turn she looked to Eric who nodded to her. The next instant she was sitting in between Isabel and Godric. She looked from one and then to the other.
"I hope my scent is not too distracting."
Godric hadnt expected her scent to sneak up on them the way it did. Considering how close she had apparated to Eric he must have smelt her before she appeared out of the color and smoke. It was strong and sweet. A lot like the fairy girls but more so..and different. She had a very otherworldy scent. The fairies smelt of earth and water. This was different. He leaned forward and looked to Isabel as she struggled to keep her composure next to this alien girl. Godric pursed his lips before he spoke again. Knowing that the scent she had he would taste on the tip of his tongue it was so intoxicating.
"Nan I want to end this gathering." Godric turned to the beauricrat and she tensed. The statement was straight forward and uncontestable. Godric got this way sometimes. He was not taken by authority of any kind least The Authority of Vampires. No one argued with Godric. He was to be King if the Authority got their way and if they didn't he was an Ancient no one fought with him.
"Godric you must meet with me before the nights end to sign paperwork relinquishing your rights to your territory. Also the Authirity will want an explanation …over this strange girl. Will you comply?"
"Of course. Before nights end." He replied standing up as she hesitantly walked out with her lackies. Godric was sure she was fuming with curiosity of the strange intruder. They all were. He looked up to the unusually tall lackey who quickly turned her eyes from him as she followed behind Nan. Godric was sure her height rivaled Erics and smiled as he looked to his progeny who had the same thoughts. Women just werent ever that tall normally. No doubt the only reason she was a bodyguard for Nan. Godric turned to Bill and the Stackhouse girl as they stood aswell. Bill gave a slight bow and Sookie smiled fondly at Godric.
"What is my progeny oaying you for your humans services?" Sookie shifted unconfortably at Godrics question. This did not go unnoticed by Godric.
"He is paying me $10,000 for this." Sookie shot out, not giving Bill any opportunity to speak for her.
"Then it is doubled. If you can stay another evening I will pay you the same."
"I appreciate that but it really isnt necessary. It doesn't feel right. In fact I should be repaying you."
"For what!? My saving you from a horrible humiliation." Godric laughed a deep rich laugh. Imogen smiled and looked to Eric. His maker was attractive. But perhaps more so to her because they were both stuck in a perpetual state of youth. She had not met an ancient boy ever before. Even if he were vampire it was attractive; immortality in a boy.
"Well I figured no amount of money could repay you anyway so I have a gift for you instead." Sookie replied. She reached into her purse and pulled out a large vial. She handed it to him.
Godric took it and gazed at it. Watching the thick red liquid inside slosh back and forth as he rolled it in his hand.
"Your blood!?" Godric looked to Bill at this and not Sookie. He being her vampire and Godric accustomed to the old ways had to have the permission to taste another vampires human. Bill looked to Sookie frantically. This told Godric he was unaware of her gift. So he held it back out to her.
"No it is not my blood." She replied more to Bill then to Godric. She looked to Godric next and took a deep breath. "It is my fairy Godmothers. She owed me a favor and so I summoned her here earlier tonight and asked for it. My blood isnt powerful enough for the gifts effects anyway."
Godric watched Sookie, his mouth slightly ajar as he tried to figure this out. "So the blood isnt the gift?"
"Of course not." Sookie laughed. "Pure fairy bloods effects last much longer. The gift I wanted to give you in return for saving me was the gift of light." She took another deep breath as Godric merely stared at her. "The ability to walk in the sun… for a little while anyway. I wanted you to have it."
Godric looked back at the blood and then to Sookie. "No one has ever given me such a gift before. Thank you. I will cherish the moment." A little unbelievingly Godric looked to Eric who stood and moved to Imogen who now sat alone. Isabel was standing near Godric at the revelation that he would be able to walk in the daylight. Her eyes glued to the vial. Every vampires dream was for the sun. To be able to see it and bathe in it again.
Godric watched as Sookie and Bill left the room. He turned his attention back to the vial again. Completely forgetting the reason he had closed the meeting off so soon. The magical girl. He spun around and watched as Imogen and Eric glared at one another. He hadnt heard them speaking, he had been lost in his own thoughts.
"Godric I am going to go find Nan. Figure out what is to happen next since you will no longer be presiding over this area. I really think you should have fought her."
"No matter Isabel. The job was literally boring me to death." He said this as Imogen watched him. In the last hour he had experienced more than the last two decades alone. A gifted vial of fairy blood and a strange girl who he was sure was full of magical tricks of all kinds.
