When she did she noticed they were no longer alone. Standing a few feet in front of her was a man. Barely a man at todays standards, he looked around 20 but the look in his eyes spoke volumes, showing their obvious ancient power. He had an aura about him that glowed with power and authority. He had beautiful sea green eyes with hazels flecks in them. Short brown hair and tribal tattoo work across his body that no doubt were a symbol of battle in his human life.
He glanced at me then back at Gabe. "Godric!, Its me Gabe!" Gabe started to say something else but it was cut off by a loud snap. That snap also happened to come from his own spinal cord. Dropping Gabes' lifeless body Godric finally turned completely to appraise the young woman before him. She was beautiful, Her hair was a beautiful shade of gold, her sun kissed skin shimmering below the lighting in the dim basement. But regardless of the dimness of the lights she seemed to glow to him.
It was as if she was an angel, His own personal angel. Staring into each others eyes they seemed to lose themselves for a moment too caught up to realize they were inching closer to each other. Godric seemed to snap out of it sooner and gave her a once over. "Are you okay min lskling?" He spoke in a low melodical voice that seemed to sing to her and her only. She shook her head slightly to clear her thoughts.
"Yes, sorry just a bit shook up, and my head hurts but I will be fine" She said, fumbling to button up her blouse completely. "Very well" He said softly she swayed slightly almost losing her balance, just as she was about to hit the ground a cold hand snaked around her waist clutching her just in time. She looked into his eyes smiling sheepishly when suddenly she had an onslaught of emotions pouring into her.
She felt his weariness. His absolute exhaustion with every day life. His self hatred for the monster he had allowed himself to once be, his resignation and acceptance of damnation, and even death. Further the emotions kept rolling. Through his bond to his child as well. She truly understand the feelings their relationship held even if she couldnt feel them herself. His undying love and loyalty for his childe, They were eachothers exuals, their superiors, and their inferiors rolled into one.
Slowly the emotions faded and she was hit with his thoughts. 'I wonder if shes going into shock, what do I do? I hope she doesnt pass out' not breaking eye contact still she stated "Im not going to pass out" He gave her an odd look his eyes unreadable. "What was that min lskling?" He asked. His face still not changing. She said a bit louder "Im not going to pass out.". He blinked and said "I'm sorry but I didnt say that out loud." Her eyes widened as she recongnized she was reading his thoughts 'Oh no, shes paled even more. She must be frightened of me, I dont blame her she should be repulsed' She looked at him with intensity and said fiercely. "Im not afraid of you, Im afraid of the fact that I can hear your thoughts right now"
He knew without a doubt if he could blush he would. If she heard his inner ramblings about her beauty and purity, surely she didnt show it. Suddenly screams filled the church and Sookie looked over to the door. A jolt of fear shot through her and she shrunk into the ancient boys chest and he didnt protest. He liked the way she felt close to him. It felt right. He figured he would evaluate his emotions on that later for now his task was keeping the angel in his arms from any harm.
Suddenly the door shot open and Godric put sookie behind him and stood in a protective stance. Until he noticed it was his own childe here. He was so captivated by their moment he didnt recognize his own childes presence. That fact should have bothered him but it didnt, Nothing had ever held his interest in this way. It was hard for sookie to follow him as he blurred to his makers side, and he was on his knees within a mili-second.
Sookie stepped out from behind Godric and it surprised him. What was his maker doing protecting Sookie? He took a moment to take in the state of the room. A beaten bruised hugo unconcious on the floor and a dead man not but two feet from him. Sookie had the workings of a bruise forming on her cheek and he reached out to touch the spot on her cheek. A slight warning growl came from Godric stunning him and his childe as well. Before they could comment a shrill sound cut the air as the alarm was sounded. Godric looked to his child and stated. "Get her out of here, take her to my nest and keep her there, safe. Spill no blood on your way out unless necessary" He commanded more than asked.
Eric nodded reluctantly not wanting to push his makers command. They left the room sprinting down the hall hiding behind a corner they noticed four men securing the door. Eric started to walk forward when Sookie grabbed him "Eric no!" He leaned forward so close that his breath was on her neck and replied a simple "Trust me". She nodded and watched frightened as he hunched his shoulders and approached the men.
Eric spoke a few sentances to the men when Sookie heard the mans thoughts who was behind Eric ' Theirs something wrong with this man. Hes definitely a vampire. Die fanger!' "Stake!" She shouted just in time. Eric blocked his attacker stealing his stake and knocking him back a few feet. Two of the men screamed dropping their stakes and running and Eric gripped the fourth man shoving the stake to his neck. "No Eric!, dont kill him! You heard what Godric said!" She shouted causing Eric to look up with a grimace. She fished the mans head for another exit. Eric suddenly growled with pent up anger, as she followed his gaze she noted what captured his attention. Coming towards them was a group of FOTS "Soldiers of the sun" group.
"Through the sanctuary!" She whispered. He picked her up bridal style and darted through the church reaching the sanctuary in seconds. "Where are the exits?" He demanded. Suddenly a voice spoke from ahead. "Their are several exits actually, This one leads you strait to hell" it came from Steve Newlin himself standing a few feet in front of them with a cocky grin. They were quickly surrounded by soldiers of the sun with stakes and silver chains. Suddenly all Sookie could think was "Oh Shit"
