Hello, readers! This story is full of soppy romance and fluff-ness galore, so get the tissues out -

Aw, hell no. This story is full of the True Blood character Godric. If you want to read a pansy K+ friendship/family story then this is the wrong place for you. This is an M fanfiction. I repeat: M FANFICTION. So you can expect lemons, lime, maybe a bit of fluff, and definitely…definitely Godric.

You have been warned.

Disclaimer: I don't own True Blood - as you'll find you numerous times throughout the story (bwahaha)

Chapter one~

"Come on Jase, please?"

It didn't take long for my big brother's tough act to crumble like Gram's apple pie. His hardened features melted away into a soft, defeated one. Jason Stackhouse might've not been the brightest kid around, but he knew when I'd got him – and I'd got him good. Nobody could withstand my charm when I used it.

"Fine, you can come with me –" He started, hesitantly at first, but his tone grew strong. "But if anything happens, anything at all, I'm sending you back home. Do you understand, Rosalie?"

I nodded, my face all serious-like. Jason chuckled and reached out a hand to tickle my neck, but I slapped it away. He pouted – in a very girly way, might I add – and feigned hurt. "Aww, come on, Rose," He whined, "Don't be a sourpuss!"

"Jason," I began, the seriousness in my tone made him snap into over-protective big bro mode.

"Hm? What is it, Rose?" He asked, concern lining his handsome features.

"Why do you even want to join the Fellowship of the Sun, Jason?" I asked, sighing. I ran a hand through my dark locks, letting out a nervous breath. "I – I mean, you've never really had anything against vampires, so why now?"

Jason smiled a little, ruffling my tangled hair. "When I was locked up, I got thinking, you know…" His eyes drifted over to the open window, which was wafting in the gentle summer's breeze. "God put me on this Earth for a reason…and that purpose is at the Light of Day Institute."

I sighed again, shaking my head. "Jase…what about Sookie? She has Bill, who, may I add, is a vampire. He won't be happy, knowing we've gone to a group which would gladly stake any vampire they set eyes on," I said, then added, "And when Sookie finds out –"

Jason held up a hand, the air around him commanding. "Sook won't find out, Rose," He assured me. "We'll be long gone in Dallas by then."

"Yeah, I guess. But –"

"You don't have to come, Rosalie," Jason cut me off. "I'd much prefer it if you stayed home for the summer holiday, anyway."

"No!" I protested quickly. "I want to come. I don't really have anything against vampires, but…I've got nothing else to do for the holidays, really," I finished lamely, shrugging.

Jason raised an eyebrow. "Rose, I don't want you to get harmed in any way..." He objected.

"I – I know. But I'm coming," I said firmly, and Jason sighed, knowing the discussion was over.

"Alright, Rose," He said, cracking his signature grin. "Go get packed. We'll need to leave before Sookie sniffs us out."
