I don't own anything I am just taking the characters for a walk.

A/N I have always thought that Allen Ball made a terrible mistake killing off Godric. This is what I think should have happened. I am going to try and follow the seasons as close as possible even with the changes I have made. Thanks for all the reviews and story follows it's super flattering- keep em coming : )

Chapter 1

As I made my way up to the roof of the hotel I pondered my decision: two thousand years was too many and I was tired. Especially after what happened these past weeks with the fellowship and the bomb at my home this evening. I knew my Childe would not be far behind, although I had hoped to keep him from knowing the true depths of my despair. I should have known that he would stop at nothing to keep me safe, and most of all he would never understand my reasons.

I stepped out on to the tarred roof and stepped up to the edge. The sky was slowly losing its inky blue colour and I estimated that only ten minutes remained before the sun crested the horizon. I longed to feel its warmth on my skin again, to see its bright warm light for the first time since my childhood. I can barely remember my last sunrise when I was a boy.

All of a sudden a bright warm light enveloped me in warmth and I was blinded briefly. "I guess I miscalculated." I said in wonder that I felt no pain only warmth. The light dimed slightly, "You have not miscalculated, we only have but a few moments."

I gasped in shock as the light dimed further, revealing a startlingly beautiful woman dressed in long flowing white gossamer clothing. Her skin was lit from within making her seem an angel. Her long blond tresses were flowing around her as if a breeze I could not feel flowed around her.

"I have missed you." The angel told me with a sad smile.

"I was allowed to appear here to you now because we are soul mates. We don't have much time Eric will be right behind you. Please listen to my pleas and stay, stay with us. Also please do not let me stay with Compton he is only using me for his Queen."

She quickly kissed my cheek causing warmth to spread from that point slowly through the rest of my body until it settled in my heart. The light and breeze that enveloped her slowly dimmed until she was gone and I was once again alone on the rooftop. She spoke as if she knew me, I stood as still as a statue while my mind replayed those far too brief of moments over and over like a movie.

I barely registered my Childe when he made his way over to stand in front of me. "Godric what did you mean - you would make amends? Why are you up here on the roof so close to dawn? Please come back inside with me."

Eric asked a still frozen Godric who seemed to answer and react on autopilot.

"Two thousand years is enough."

"I can't accept this, it is insanity." Eric answered in a strangled tone.

"Our existence is insanity. We don't belong here." I said turning to look at Eric.

"But, we are here." Eric uncustomarily screamed at me.

I noticed that Sookie had followed us up to the roof and was hanging back seemingly not wanting to interfere.

Turning to face Eric I said, "It's not right… We're not right."

"You taught me there was no right or wrong… only survival or death."

"I told a lie, as it turns out." I answered watching Eric closely knowing he was close to breaking down. Eric moved closer.

"I will keep you alive by force."

"Even if you could...why would you be so cruel?" I asked him despair evident in my voice. Eric began to break down, begging me not to do it. He dropped to his knees sobbing, with blood tears streaming down his face.

"There are centuries of love and faith between us." Eric sobbing fisted his hand into my pant leg. "Father… Brother… Son… Let me go."

"I won't let you die alone." Eric moved to stand.

"Yes you will." I looked into his eyes, "as your maker I command you." After one last look to say goodbye Eric slowly rose to his full six and a half feet and made his way back to the stairs.

I watched as Sookie took his hand when he paused in front of her and after a glance over his shoulder at me gave her a meaningful look. "I'll stay with him as long as it takes," She told him solemnly. Sookie slowly walked over to me while Eric retreated from the forthcoming dawns rays.

As she drew near it was like the controls were being handed back to me slowly.

"It won't take long… not at my age." I told her as I faced out towards the east.

"You know it wasn't very smart, the fellowship of the sun part," she informed me.

"I know… I thought it might fix everything somehow, but I don't think like a vampire anymore… Do you believe in god?"

"Yes."

"If you're right how will he punish me?" I turned towards her and drifted closer. "God doesn't punish, God forgives."

"I don't deserve it." I told her mournfully.

"Why would you say that? You do deserve it, I know you… do." She told me as she lifted her hand to caress the very same cheek that the angel had kissed releasing me from my stupor. "You can't give up like this Godric." She said as tears formed in her eyes. "Live, Godric. I beg of you. Eric needs you. We all need you."

I slowly raised my hand up to her face and as I caressed her warm tanned skin her inner light shone brighter. Her intoxicating smell enveloped me singing to my very soul. I took a deep breath and my being filled with lust. Very slowly I leaned down towards her mouth. Her hand trailed down my neck, shoulder and came to rest on my bicep. Only inches away from her soft plump lips I stopped and looked deep into her eyes and waited. She pressed her lips to mine softly at first then more urgently. I returned her kiss but let her lead. She moaned and I couldn't stop the low growl that started deep in my chest as my senses were bombarded.

The sky was noticeably lighter by this point and I didn't notice that I had started smoking a little. Sookie needed to breathe and broke free. I trailed kisses down her jaw line. "Godric we only have a few moments." Upon hearing the same words spoken again I came fully to my senses and used my speed to move us inside beyond the reach of the suns rays, which crested the horizon moments later.

"You have convinced me Ma Petite." I said as I grazed my fangs along her neck from ear to collar bone. She shivered and her knees buckled and so I scooped her up into my arms and carried her down the stairs at human speed towards Eric's room.
