Chapter 2

Eric's POV

It has been two hundred years since I have seen my maker. It was during this time in a bout of loneliness that I created my child Pam. Godric was a chieftain in his time and had always been concerned with the greater good of the people. This broader thinking had gained him many advantages and respect over the many long years of his life. However, as time wore on Godric began to feel hopeless about humanity and disgusted by vampiric nature. He did not have that one award winning solution and he did not want to be part of the problem. He also felt guilty for the evil he had inflicted on this world, especially in his early days as a vampire. I had felt him getting increasingly depressed over the last few weeks while getting increasingly closer to me. I wanted to go to him to see what I could do for him and to comfort him. Godric has always been a very private and quiet person, though, and I decide it was better to wait for him to come to me. I felt him very near a few days ago and he was feeling determined and sorrowful. Over the course of a few hours I felt his whole vibration change. First there was interest, extreme curiosity, awe, lust, disbelief, hope, lust, and then a great sense of triumph mixed with lust. Since then the bond has been humming with positivity. I really could not wait to see my maker and to find out what has caused so much happiness and excitement in him. Whatever it is, I am glad. I had begun to worry. I waited for him to come but after a week of being nearby and still not coming to see me, I decided to go to him. I just needed to finish at Fangtasia and I would find him.

I was getting anxious about seeing Godric and was ready to just say fuck it and reschedule everything for tomorrow night when Pam informed me William douche-bag Compton was here to speak to me. Great, I have only one nerve left this evening and I knew it would be wasted on Compton now. He was such a twat. Lorena, his whore of a maker, had turned him in the mid 1800's. I do not think one night has passed since then that he had not whined and cried about something or other. He was incompetent as a vampire and inadequate as a man. Pam was smirking when she went to fetch him. She knew how much I hated him because only she hated him more than I. I would have to remember to punish her for finding humor in her master's displeasure. My office door opened and Pam followed Compton in, closing the door behind her.

"Sheriff" he bowed at the waist, at least he could remember basic protocol.

"Bill, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

"I would like your permission to relocate to Bon Temps. The home I built from my human life has been willed to me by the last in my family line. I would like to fix the house up and mainstream." Hmm, unusual.

"All vampires in my area work at Fangtasia two nights per week to enthrall the vermin in lieu of tribute and you may be called upon to complete special projects from time to time." Of course he will agree because he is too big of a pussy to do anything but say yes.

"Your terms are very favorable; I accept. I will be moving immediately. May I start my shifts next week?"

"That is acceptable. Now, have a good evening."

Godric's POV

I have spent the last week with Sookie at her home in Bon Temps and it has been wonderful. I trained her in vampire etiquette, history, politics, customs and she trained me in her capabilities. She was very powerful and amazing. This delicate flower held so much magic. I had not seen her tire once from it despite her continuous use. She was modest in her claims of training. She mentioned training by the Britlingens but she was as good with a sword as any fighter I had witnessed, except Eric, she could teleport herself and others, she could call objects to her from great distances, she could create and immerse herself in fire, she cast spells of warding on the house and us and used her spark to create balls of energy that had effects that correlated to the mood that created them, they could grace the recipient with everything from an orgasmic feeling to acid burning through flesh. She said she had not worked out her magic muscles in awhile so it was good for her and entertaining for me. The greatest of her skills, in my opinion was her ability to 'see' and her ability to control others through their mind. I felt honored to be gifted with so much knowledge about her. We exchanged blood everyday and became very intimate. We were both convinced that it was because of our mutual exchanges that our bond expanded and so did her powers. Where before she could teleport 2 to three people, she could now teleport 5 to 6 people, we tested our theory with large objects which also proved to be fun. I could also now communicate with her telepathically. She was truly showing me another side of life. Sookie had been teaching me the words and a technique to draw power from around you in order to create light. I was greatly satisfied when I woke at dusk with Sookie curled into my side that I was able to produce light enough to make the bedroom glow dimly. Who could say whether any could wield this magic or if her blood gave me these powers, or perhaps it is our bond.

"Godric, you did it!" her heavenly voice rises in pride and happiness for me. She is so genuine. Her words always match her emotions and I love it.

"Of course my love, with you as my teacher how could I fail. Now about some of the things I was teaching you…." I pull her on top of me and let my fingers roam her body in a feather light touches while she grinds her gorgeous behind into my straining erection. "Lover, you are so beautiful, tell me I may. Tell me you want me to." I want to spear into her. I tease her nipples and pull her chest down to my face so that I can lick and nibble them, sending shivers down my angel's back. I can feel her juices sliding down my thigh. Yet another thing I love about my angel. She was so ready for me. She had waited for me and now I would give her everything. She would have me all.

"Please Godric, please, I need to feel you." Her nails were raking furrows down my chest, my lover feels strongly all the time and her love making was no different, so intense. I did not hesitate any longer. I forced my way into her and let her own weight push all of me in. She screamed my name as soon as I was fully encased in her tight, wet, sex. I could feel her inner muscles clamping down on me, milking my cock, as the force of her orgasm had her whole body quivering. "Bite, now!" she did. She used her blunt teeth to bite around my nipple and sucked on the wound as greedily as any vampire. I struck at the same time. I had her hair fisted in one hand while my other hand was busy guiding her hip and using as leverage to pound into her further. Her head was tilted just right on my chest that her neck was exposed to me. I drew from her deeply and felt myself explode. I let out a loud growl of triumph, an orgasm with my angel always made me feel victorious. We lay holding each other reluctant to begin our evening practicing.

Suddenly, she sat up and looked at me but her eyes had glazed over milky white, as they always do when she is in vision. "Godric, your son comes, but so does another. The dark haired vampire seeks to harm me. He was sent by Eric's queen. Eric does not know, but the queen knows about me. You will keep me safe until it is time for me to kill them." She sighed heavily with her eyes closed and hummed to herself groggily. She smiled and moaned when she realized the position she was in.

"Sex with you does things to me!" she teased while she returned to her position of cuddling at my side. "So, your Eric will be here tonight should we plan anything special? I do not have any True Blood, does the house look okay, maybe I should run the vacuum upstairs, oh no, I did not leave the scorched barrel in the driveway did I"

"Sookie, relax, you are mine. That is all that is important. Say it for me one time" kiss, lick, nibble, on her shoulder.

"mmhmm. I am yours."

"Let me clean you. I will run us a bath." I had the water running, towels out on the counter, and was scooping her up from our bed before she could stretch properly.

We lingered in the bath for over an hour. We both relished the affection and contact. Vampires were not touchy beings and I had not realized how starved I was for this kind of connection. Sookie had been alone so much that she craved this as much as I. I made her a light meal while she dressed then we went to the field behind her house for weapons practice. I was still allowing her to use her magic during our mock battles because it was too entertaining. I in turn held nothing back. I was fast but she could teleport circles around me, I was strong but she was accurate because she was capable of 'seeing' where you were going. We had been practicing for a few hours when she stopped abruptly and teleported to my side. She did not speak, our practicing was paying off already, and she filled my mind with her vision, and with the location of the vampire in the woods. She was capable of entering vampire minds but she was not able to do it without them knowing. By the time it was Sookie's time to take over for the Ancient Pythoness she will have the ability to cross into their heads without them being the wiser.

I turned to the void, already sensing my child was close "Eric, do not be shy, come meet my angel." Sookie stayed glued to my side. Her hand was squeezing mine that she held onto like a lifeline. She was standing behind me with only one eye peeking around my side. I sent calming waves through the bond to her and she sighed and grinned at me mouthing thank you. Eric slowly approached taking in the scene. Here I was his eternally depressed maker in a field with an angel while we both held swords, one hiding behind the other, and grinning like fools.

"Eric, this is Sookie. She is my angel, my mate." She blushed furiously at my proclamation and stepped from behind me. "Sookie, you may speak freely with Eric, he is my child and you do not need to fear him."

I saw his eyes widen when she lifted her face to him. I knew he was taking in her perfect features, her delicate appearance, her luscious curves and I knew that he was as awed as I when I first met her. Then she spoke and I thought he might melt. I could feel him in our bond and he was captivated. "Eric, it is nice to meet you. I have seen and heard so much about you. I hope that you will decide to spend some time here with us; I just know that it would please Godric greatly." Dreams and wishes were in her words and starlight and moonbeams were in her eyes.

"Sookie, I am very pleased to make your acquaintance and even more pleased to see that you have made Godric's. Your company must please him immensely because I can't recall ever seeing him so happy." She giggles and Eric smiles in response. It looks as if he does not know what to say next, but it is obvious he would like to hear her giggle again.

"Eric, sit we have much to discuss. Sookie will stay hear with us. She already knows most of it and we are all affected by the things we have to discuss. Let me start with the past and move forward." Eric kisses my hand and bows deeply to me before he sits with us on Sookie's blanket.

"Master, if that is your wish." I sit and Sookie lays on her back with her head in my lap gazing at the night sky. Eric folds his large frame into a sitting position and then lays back as well. It really is very cozy having my two favorite people close to me and in a comfortable and intimate environment.

"I have been wandering this world for so very long and in the last century had become tired and weary. I came here last week to say goodbye, I had planned to meet the sun. However, fate intervened. I heard dear Sookie's siren song and was drawn to her. As it happens she has been here waiting for me. She has a destiny to fulfill that I play a big part in. I am amazed by the changes that have taken place in me in such a short time but my angel has that affect. I will be staying with her. I feel that there will be little weariness where she is, we need each other, and we want each other." These words are not enough to describe how I feel about her; it cannot be explained.

"Godric, I knew that you were sad but I knew not what about and I felt like you would call me if it was bad. I feel I have failed you. I am sorry. Please…"

"There is nothing to forgive. I did not want to call you to me. You have always had such a joy for life and I did not want my state to ruin that. That is the past now anyway." Sookie gets up and dances. I notice that she loves to dance when the sky is clear. She swings, sways, and spins around freely, and hums to herself while she does. I can barely continue speaking with Eric as I am drawn to watch her movements; the happier she is the brighter she shines and she shines the brightest when she is dancing. "Eric there are many things special about my angel. I will try to cover everything but more may be revealed in time. Sookie is the great-great granddaughter of the Ancient Pythoness and granddaughter to Niall Brigant. She was told by Pythia that she would take her place in the future. She also told Sookie about me. She has been waiting a hundred years for me to arrive. She holds more power and magic than anyone I have ever met. She is part seer, fairy, and fire elemental. She has complete mastery of her mind, vision, and sword skills. She can create fire, cast magic, and teleport. She can do many things and will do many more. I strongly suggest that you follow any advice she gives you." I pause when I say this to make sure he is absorbing this information and not just watching my sweet angel dance. "We were going to visit you but she saw that you would be coming. She also had another vision tonight that I would like for her to tell you about." I definitely have his attention now. "My angel, please come sit with us. I know how you love to dance in the moonlight but I am sure Eric would appreciate you sharing your vision." She teleports to my side, startling Eric, and then snuggles in so her back is to my chest and I wrap one arm around her and I cannot stop my other hand from trailing touches down her cheek , neck, and arms. She leans into my touch and a purr escapes from her lips. We are beginning to become lost in each other as had happened over the last few days when Eric's pulls me from my longing.

"Godric said you had a vision that affected me?" I knew he was not questioning me but trying to get me back on track; Sookie acted as if she hadn't heard him.

I brushed her cheeks slowly a few more times and whispered to her, though I knew Eric could hear me, "My beautiful angel, we are being very rude. We must not let our desires ruin our visit with Eric and I do believe there were a few things you needed to tell him, yes?" One more lick to her delectable ear, and one more moan as my reward, then I settled both my arms around her and contented myself with nuzzling my face into her hair and neck. She sighed deeply and opened her eyes. She met Eric's own beautiful blue eyes, which were filled with voyeuristic lust, and began to speak in her unimaginably wonderful voice.

"Eric, your Queen has sent a dark haired vampire to harm me. He has only just arrived in your area. He is here under her orders. She seeks to take me. Someone has spoken to her of some of my talents. Though, she doesn't know them all." My darling smiles wickedly and my cock twitches beneath her "She is misinformed if she believes she can succeed at making me her pet. More to the point, the dark haired one was promised your area if he succeeded in procuring me. He plans to do bad things to help accomplish his goals. He will attempt to plant evidence of your involvement in a large V operation. He also plans to leak information to the Fellowship about vampires that are not supportive of his little coup. Finally, as far as I can see (snicker!), he is already in cahoots with Mississippi. Dear Eric you have some issues to work on. I really wished our first meeting was less serious." My angel had showed me what she saw in vision but I apparently did not see and interpret all that she had, or perhaps she had other visions to put together with this one.
