Sookie's House

"Godric..."

But... but, he's dead! I was there; I saw his body turn to dust. Yes! He definitely died, she thought.

They stared motionless at each other for what felt like hours but had barley been a few minutes. Their features mimicked each other with mixed expressions of confusion, shock and disbelief.

"But..." she mumbled more to herself than to the man-child in front of her. His body didn't move a single inch; the only part of him that did were his chocolate brown eyes. Which at first darted around the room but then locked on Sookie.

Sookie? He thought, this is the human who had been with me at the end, she had cried for me. From what I remember she was kind and open-minded especially for a human. She's also very beautiful, the way her golden hair rests on her sun-kissed shoulders and those big blue orbs staring holes into me. If I'd had the chance when I'd been alive, well living dead, I would have spent a lot more time with her, but her bonded mate bill had been very protective of her and hadn't let many people get close to her, especially males.

But none of that even comes close to explaining what I'm doing here in a room with her. I was dead and at peace…wasn't I?

Sookie's mind began to take him in, he looks no different to the last time I saw him, well I guess he wouldn't would he. His hair is still a caramel brown cropped short, and I could still practically swim in his eyes and happily drown. I can still see how muscular he was even through his clothes. Basically he's still as utterly mouthwatering as I remember. What little time I had spent with him I had enjoyed and i wish that i had been able to have spent more time with him but I had been busy the whole of the time I spent in Dallas. I hated it when he had died it had affected more than I had expected; I had tried not to think about it too much. But here he was staring me in the eyes, looking as alive as any vampire could.

"I thought, I thought you were dead. No, I knew you were dead, I saw you turn to dust" She started to take small steps towards him, one of her hands slightly outstretched in front of her reaching for his face. When she was directly in front of him she went place her outstretched hand on his cheek, but gasped when it just went straight through him.

"What?" he questioned, bringing his own hand up to the cheek Sookie had tried to touch.

"Oh no" Sookie said whilst turning and walking away from Godric. "Maybe everyone is right, maybe I really am crazy! I hear peoples thoughts, I trusted bill and now I'm seeing vampire ghosts!" she muttered herself, completely ignoring said vampire ghost.

"Miss Stackhouse, I wouldn't question your sanity just yet. Where are we?" Even in shock he managed to keep his voice calm and assertive but he only did so for her sake.

"My home in bon temps, my living room to be exact. But to be honest I really don't see how that is important right now. On the off chance that you really are there and I'm not just crazy, then we need to get you to Eric-"

"NO!" Godric shouted at her from across the room much to her surprise.

"But he'll want to see you, plus he might understand why you're here and-"

"I said no. I'm sorry for yelling at you Miss Stackhouse but we can not let anybody see me, ESPECIALLY Eric. If I'm only going to be here for a short while, then he'll have to deal with me leaving him all over again and I can't hurt him like that. Not again" He was starting to calm down from his early outburst.

"Well then what the fuck do we do? I really, really don't need to be dealing with this sort of shit right now" she paced the length of the living room.

"Miss Stackhouse-"

"Sookie. Please call me Sookie"

"Sookie, I am terribly sorry that this is of an inconvenience for you. But if you could just-" He was cut short by the sound of the front door opening and then closing.

"Hey Sookie, I'm back from work Sam shut early cause he was in a big old mood. I think he's on his man period"

Shit Tara!How do I explain this? It's simple, I can't. Great.

"Godric hide!" she said frantically trying to whisper and failing. But he didn't move.

"Sookie who you talking to?" Tara walked into the living room looking slightly amused, but mostly concerned that Sookie might have gone a little crazy due to her break up with bill, Tara knew that sookie would take it hard but she hoped that she wasn't taking it that hard. She scanned the room looking for anyone Sookie could have been talking to. But she came up blank.

"Sookie you talking to yourself?" she laughed trying to cover up her fear that sookie may have gone round the bend.

Sookie was completely confused. Tara had looked right at him, yet she didn't seem to know he was there. Oh no. I really am crazy I'm seeing things! Quick what do I say?

"Umm, no I was just err, talking to the TV"

Godric looked just as confused as Sookie did. She had looked right at me, how could she of not have noticed me? Sookie watched as he walked right up to Tara and waved his hands trying to get her attention. But he was just ignored.

"Okay, well I'm home now you can talk to me instead" Tara put a hand on her stomach and walked right through Godric and towards the kitchen.

"I'm starving, I'm gunna make some dinner. Do you want anything?"

Sookie just stared at her ghost, not hearing what was said.

"Sookie?"

"Huh? What?"

"I said do you want some food. God what's with you tonight? It's like your mind is somewhere else. Are you okay?" Tara laughed at sookie again, she loved how weird Sookie was sometimes, but she was still a little worried.

"I'm fine. And Na, I'm real tired, so I think I'm just gunna call it a day"

"Okay. You sure your alright?"

"Yer course I am, just really tired" she yawned in hope of being more convincing.

"Well okay. But if you need anything, if you want to talk to anyone about, erm, you know, bill, you know where I am"

"Thank you Tara" Sookie smiled at her friend. Sookie had nearly forgotten all about bill. Well she was a little distracted by the whole Godric situation.

She ushered him up the stairs and into her room.

"She didn't see you! I really am crazy" Sookie sat down on the corner of her bed and begun to cry.

"Sookie please don't cry, I've tried to tell you that you're not crazy. Your not imagining me, I'm here. It just seems that you are the only one who can see me. And that is why I need you" He knelt down before her and attempted to lift her chin up so that she was looking at him, but his hand went right through her. He sighed in defeat and carried on.

"You're not crazy"

"Oh really! I hear peoples thoughts, I mean do you have any idea what that is like? Hearing all of the cruel and hateful things people are scared to say out loud" She took a much needed breathe and then continued. "And then along comes bill, he's nice and loving and I can't hear his thoughts. Yet he let get beaten up by the Rattray's just so he could get his blood into me so I would fall in love with him cause he queen told him to do it. I gave him everything my heart, my body, my life! I fought with people I've known my entire life for him. Yet I meant nothing to him he didn't care about me, he never loved me at all, and it was all just a lie. And I fell for it and for that you can't tell me I'm not crazy!"

She bellowed at him. The whole time tears where streaming down here face.

"Sookie, I'm so sorry for what he did to you" He truly was, the new information he had just received had made him murderously angry at bill. But he didn't have a clue why he barely knew this girl.

"Somebody as kind as you didn't deserve what he did to you. But please don't cry over someone as worthless as him. He's a lying asshole"

"Well I can't deny that" she said smiling a little. He mirrored her smile happy that he'd made her do so.

"Godric I'm sorry. You need my help and I just went and dropped all that on you"

"Sookie please don't apologize. You've been through a lot. You should go to sleep, we'll talk when you wake"

"Godric, I don't have to"

"Please. It would make me feel better if you were better rested" He smiled at her, rose to his feet and looked down on her.

"Thank you. Good night Godric" She said whilst climbing underneath her quilt.

Soon she slipped into a deep sleep, her last thoughts were of Godric. He watched her as she slept enjoying the fact that she snored slightly he found it quite funny. She was such a peaceful sleeper (apart from her snoring) he wanted so badly to lie down beside her and hold her in his arms, but again he had no idea why she made him feel this way towards her. He barley knew her but somehow he felt connected to her. Besides he'd go straight through her, it was going to take him a while to get use to the whole not being able to touch things. So he just stood in silence and watched her sleep.

Fangtasia

Eric sat in his throne staring down at a grovelling fangbanger who was kissing his ankle; he didn't have the chance to kiss it again before Eric kicked him across the club and into the wall on the other side of the room. The man had been knocked unconscious in the process so Pam had him carried out into the parking lot and dumped on the ground. Usually Eric would have picked out the least pathetic fangbanger and lured her into his office and had his way with her but all Eric could think about was Sookie. He wanted to know if she was okay but he had a feeling his wasn't welcome at her home or any where close to her at the moment but that didn't mean he wasn't going to give up on her. He was Eric Northman he always found a way. But not tonight. So he sulked off into his office followed by glares from Pam.

Sookie's Dream

Sookie fastly climbed the stairs but slowed when she saw Godric and Eric deep in conversation she stayed at the top of the stairs not wanting to intrude. But she was close enough to hear what was being said

"2000 yrs is enough"

" I can't except this. It's insanity" Eric's voice rose slightly on the last word.

"Our existence is insanity. We don't belong here"

"But we are here!" Eric was starting to lose it now.

"It's not right. We're not right"

"You told me there is no right or wrong. Only survival or death"

"I told a lie. As it turns out"

"I will keep you alive by force!"

" Even if you could, why would you be so cruel" Godric looked up at his child sadness filling his eyes.

"Godric, gor inte det" A small red tear stained his face. (Godric, don't do it)

"Det finns arhundraden av tro och karlek mellan" (there are centerries of faith and love between us)

"Snalla snalla! Vanligen Godric" Eric fell to his knees sobing.(please, please! Please godric)

"Fader broder och son. Let me go"(father, brother and son)

" I won't let you die alone" Eric had stoped sobing to say this.

"Yes you will" Eric returned to sobbing " As your maker i comand you"

Eric looked up at godric knowing it would be the last time he would be able to. He rose to feet looked at godric one last time and then walked away towards the stairs and Sookie. Sookie took his hand.

"I'll stay with him. As long as it takes" Eric nodded at her and walked down the stairs. Sookie made her way to godric and stopped a few feet away.

"It won't take long. Not at my age"

"You know it wasn't very smart. The fellowship of the sun part"

"I know, i thought it might fix everything somehow. But i don't think like a vampire anymore" Godric finally turned to face her "Do you believe in God?"

"Yes"

"If your right, how we he punish me ?"

"God doesn't punish, he forgives"

"I don't deserve it, but i hope for it"

"We all do"

"You will care for him, Eric?"

"I'm not sure you know how he is" she smiled.

"I can take the blame for that" he laughed slightly, knowing all to well how Eric is.

"Maybe not, Erics pretty much himself." she stopped smiling as godrics skin started to smoke and he looked up to the sky. "Are you very afraid?" She felt tears fill her eyes threatening to fall.

"No. No i'm full of joy" he smiled at her.

"But the pain"

"I want to burn" His smile remanded firm on his face.

"Well i'm afraid for you" The tears started to fall down her face, which stopped his smiling.

"A human with me at the end and human tears. 2000 yrs and i can still be surprized" he started to smile again before continuing "In this i see god" he could feel the sun on his skin burning his flesh. He turned and started to walk towards the edge of the roof-top, removing his shirt as he did so.

"Goodbye Godric" Sookie said through tears, as his skin caught alight with a blue flame that covered his body. And in a matter of seconds he was gone, dust in the air.

Sookie woke from her dream startled. She sat up and wiped the hair away from her face. And then she remembered the events of last night.

Godric! She jumped up from her bed and searched the room but he was nowhere. She walked out her door and searched the house but again he was nowhere, maybe she had dreamt it all. Mabey it never happened.
