Godric's Little Savior

Sookie's parents are members of the F.O.T.S and have been trying to pound it into her head that anything none human is unnatural and shouldn't exist. What her parents don't know is that telepathic eight year old Sookie will be the sole reason why a two- thousand year old Godric realizes that life is worth living, and that death is sometimes the easy way out. As years go by Sookie's parents keep pushing her to marry Reverend Steve Newlin's son, Thomas. Will Sookie be able to once again sway the vampire, she was able to save all those years ago, into helping her out of a situation she may not be another way out of?

Disclaimer: I don't own TB. I just enjoy playing with Sookie, Godric, and Eric most.

Sookie's p.o.v.

Ever since I could remember my parents had tried to make me believe that anything other than human was unnatural and wrong. To me it had never made a lick of sense of believe that, we were all God's children, some were just different from others. Why my parents and many of their friends hated them I could never figure out. Specially Reverend Steve Newlin, he believed that we should kill all of vampire kind, said they killed his family. I personally think he's just looking out for revenge.

The Newlin Sr. had said that vampires would eventually meet their end, I'd seen it in his mind. You see I'm a mind reader, no one but my brother and Gran know course, my parents would burn me for witch craft, problem is no one can probe an eight year old is using magic.

Vampires had been out in the open for two years, we'd had no real problems with them till Newlin Sr. died in a car crash. He, his wife, and my baby sitter, Marianne (Mare- ee- on) had all died on impact with the bridge column. Newlin Jr. has been out for revenge since believing it to be foul play by the vampires. How would he know? Not like as though he knew one personally any way.

If I remember what my father had said yesterday they'd just brought one into the complex yesterday. From the images I'd gleaned off of father he looked like the Sheriff of Area nine. The area we lived in. I'd started studying some vampire politics and who to go to if I had any troubles, I'm not a fighter, so I'd rather have one of them handle their own, rather than do so myself.

His name is Godric.

Age/: 2000 + years old, he looked young for one so old.

Eye color: crystal blue.

Hair color: chocolate brown

Height: 5'6", maybe a little taller

He had one child, said child went by the name Eric Northman, Northman ran Area five in Norther Louisiana were Gran lived.

I just knew that his underlings wouldn't wait for the church to more to get him out one way or another. They'd come for him , and either we'd come out alive or dead. There was no in between for something like this. Even if he'd done what father's memory had said he'd done and surrendered himself, Newlin Jr. was on the war path, and once he burned Godric there was no turning back for him. He'd continue till all vampires were irradiated off the face of the planet.

I'd crept into this part of the church so I could, hopefully, speak with Godric. Convince him not to go through with tomorrows ceremony. I'd made it to the hall were the room that he's in is hidden. I can hear Gabe and Newlin coming this way from that direction, heading towards the chapel, there are services going on right now. Newlin was probably going to go and preach more lies that fearful people wanted to hear. Don't get me wrong I feared vampires, just not to the level where I'd kill them without thought or real reason. Once their minds were far enough away, I started down the hall way again.

'Dear Lord this is a long hall, how much further till I get there?' I couldn't help but think, thus hall truly was longer than it should be. Finally I make it to the door I've been searching for.

As I descend the stairs all I can hear is blissful silence, I know this is were they're keeping him, vampires are silent to me because the have no brain waves. I loved that silence. I see the liver door in front of me. All I need do is unlock the door and walk in. Makes me wonder if they were smart enough to enforce the walls with silver as well? More than likely not, Newlin and Gabe aren't all that bright. Ones speaks to hear his own voice, the other is all brawn.

As I approach the door I realize how foolish this is, but someone has to tell him that doing this is cowardly and will salve nothing. Knock into his brain that once Newlin starts he will not stop, kinda like Hitler shockingly.

I knock on the door. I get nothing more than a "come in". When I enter I hear a hiss.

"What are you doing here child?" oh yes I can feel the power he has through his voice.

"I'm here because you're making a very bad decision. I know why you're here, to be burnt at dawn in three weeks," he looked slightly taken aback, "but it's not just that. Newlin will use your death as a start to an attempted genocide of all vampire kind."

"Now what reason would he have to do that? I was hoping that by giving myself over peacefully to Newlin would help him see violence gets us nowhere," then he gave me the same look Gran had when she'd found out I had telepathy. Shit I'm screwed,"How would you know all of this child, you've no reason to. You're of no relation to him, so how do you know?"

All I could do was swallow and tell the truth.

"I'm a telepath, I can read peoples thoughts. You've no need to worry, yous are safe, I can't read vampires. Your kind is silent, probably because you have no brain waves, at least none I can tap into."

"So gleaned this off Newlin himself did you?" I nodded my head," What if I told you I wished to die? What if I want to burn?"

"Then I believe you're being foolish. You're giving up what God has given you. You were given immortality for a reason. I know that you're Sheriff of this Area, you've a child and grand- child in Louisiana. You've been given this position of power for a reason, and not just for your age either," he looked awe struck," You've got something many others before you didn't, what that is I've no idea, but going through with all this will prove fatal for all those involved."

"You believe this why? Why would you say me wanting to burn a waist of what "God" gave me? Why do you believe that?" his eyes help a certain emotion that I couldn't identify. I'm not totally sure I wished to either.

"I believe this because I was given a gift I've no control over, when you were turned you probably didn't choose to be, it was given to you by something with bigger planned for something bigger than that existence you were living before hand. It saw potential and you've take advantage of it. You're one of the most feared and respected in this hemisphere aren't you?" he nods," As I stated a second ago, God saw potential, and I see someone who's lost faith that he's what he has earned. Why do I believe that you ask? Because I know God creates everything with reason and purpose, nothing is created without purpose. Nothing; otherwise I wouldn't be telepathic, and you wouldn't be a vampire."

The last of my words are soft as I can hear the screams of others minds. Another vampire has broken in.

"Little one, tell me, do you believe all supernatural beings are evil?" I raise my eye brow. Did he not just hear me?

"We all make bad choices, but no one is truly evil, just misguided," he looked pleased with my answer.

"If I were to burn, how would God punish me?" I smirked and shook my head.

"God doesn't punish, as much as Steve may pray he does, God forgives. God punishes when heed be, but in the end we are all forgiven, that is what the bible truly teaches those of the Christian faith," now he was the one smirking.

"You, dear one, have just changed my entire out look on life. Thank you and I hope I meet you again someday," he said zooming off.

I'd done my job, time to leave this room and this church. Maybe I can convince mom and dad to let me move in with Gran?

X 10 minute time lapse X

"Oh Sookie darling were have you been? Are you alright? Did those evil dead people attack you?"

Dear lord how can I stand her again?

"I'm fine mom, I hid in the bathroom the whole time," I was lying, but I'd gotten good at it. She didn't need to know I'd just given a vampire sheriff a new reason to live, nope, I'd keep that to myself thank you.

"Good, I don't know what I'd do if they'd have gotten you my baby."

"Mom I don't feel save in Dallas any longer, may I move in with Gran in Bon Temps? after this little scare they'd probably say yes without much hesitation.

"Yes baby you may, I'd rather you not be in an area infested with vampires. We'll send you and Jase to Gran's in a few days, after we've packed up all your stuff," I smiled. My mom maybe a lawyer, but at times she wasn't all that bright, " Just let me tell your father tonight; then you'll be on your way there. 'K sweety?"

"OK mommy," finally out of this hell whole they call a church.

'It's too bad Sookie and Jason are leaving, Thomas enjoys their company so much; specially Jason, they're practically brothers.' I heard Sara Newlin think. Sweet woman, married to the wrong man. Guess bastards get all the luck. Mom must have told them already.

' Too bad their leaving, it won't be the same without them here. I'll miss hanging out with Jase and I'll miss pickin' on Sookie, so easy to rile up, yet she knew I never meant any of it. They're family, I'll miss them,' I kinda felt bad for Thomas, the Newlin's son, he didn't have many friends because Steve scared nearly every other kid off. He didn't start letting me and Jase around him till we stood up to him and said he could shove his jackass attitude on someone else. It had worked too, we'd stuck by Thomas since.

'Damn it!'I heard Newlin Jr. curse, 'Now I've lost my star students. There goes out booster funding. They're our starters in every sport, and Sookie's smarter than Einstien, or so her test scores probed. She's our rise to the top later down the line I'm sure of it, maybe I can get Corbett to sign a marriage contract to marry Thomas. Yes when she turns eighteen she will help lead this church; whether she likes it or not.'

Oh dear lord help me get out of this before it's too late. I plead to the heavens.

" Good day Mr. and Mrs. Newlin. Bye Tom." I say with a smile as we head out the church. This would hopefully be the last time I ever see Reverend Steve Newlin, ever.
