Author's note
This takes place when they are in Dallas and Godric is about to go on to roof. I do not own True Blood or any of the characters, I might add in some of the characters from the books.
This will be slightly like the scene in the episode; I can't help myself it was my favourite scene in the series or where Eric is talking about 'tea cup' humans, which always make me laugh.
Anyway enjoy!
Chapter 2
The Talk
Sookie's POV
After Nan had left all the Vampires had a look of sadness in their faces, I couldn't understand what it was about. I had seen Eric go into the room next to the drawing room and Godric followed him. I was still trying to get over what has happened in the past few hours. One, they had rescued Godric from The Fellowship of the Sun. Two, Eric had offered his life in exchange for her's. Three, Lorena had arrived at the party. Four, the bomb going off. Finally Eric had tricked her into drinking his blood, she wanted to be angry at him for that but for some reason she wasn't. Why couldn't he be straight forward? Most of the time when I am around him he is his usual cocky self I even remember saying that he wasn't capably of love but I am starting to think I was wrong the way that he looks at Godric maybe he was capably of some feeling other than hate or lust, maybe not love but close to it. I looked over Anna was leaning on the window edge, I still can't believe she was turned at only 17 but then again so was Jessica. I can't figure out what her relationship with Eric or Godric was but Eric had respected her enough to let her help in finding Godric so he obviously trusts her. I looked up she was staring at me; she began to walk over and sat down beside me.
"You're probably wondering how I know Eric and Godric aren't you," her English accent coming out strongly, I just nodded. "well no matter how much me and Eric like it we are brother and sister I'm older by about 900 years and well as you fully know he hates getting told what to do especially by a woman, so we share a mutual disagreement."
"I didn't know vampire's had siblings he didn't mention he had a sister" I was trying to get the face that she was 900 year older than which made her almost twice as strong. She chuckled,
"Well we are sibling to the extent that we share the same maker and well he has another 5 brother and 1 more sister I am the oldest of them. My relationship with Godric stretches a little more than just child/maker." She held up her left hand and ring shone in the light. I gasped.
"I didn't know vampires could get married!" she chuckled more then, I am starting to thing she is enjoying my naivety.
"What we have is more than a marriage per-say, but if you use that term then we have been married 1900 years." I just looked at her with my mouth open, if Gran was here she would've told me to close it before the wind changed direction.
"Excuse me for minute" he got up from the sofa and made her way to the door that Eric and Godric had previously gone through. I felt a tap on my shoulder I turned around and saw Bill, maybe he knew what was happening. I opened my mouth to ask him but he sound of door opening interrupted me. Eric walked out of the room and closed the door on his way out. His eyes had red rims around them and his cocky stance had gone instead he was just hunched over keeping his head down. He was almost at the roof door when he stopped and turned his head, his eyes met mine but I couldn't see the usual spark in them they looked, well defeated. He turned back around on went up the stairs, I turned back to Bill, "Bill, what's happening? Why is everyone so sad?"
He took my hands in his, "Well sookie Godric was sheriff of this area much like Eric is back in Louisiana, because of the bomb going off and all the publicity that has happened he has been stripped of his title. He is going to meet the true death." With him finishing Godric stepped out of the room with dried red tears down his face a made a swift exit to the roof, now I know why Eric had gone up there, the look in his eyes hadn't been defeat it was sadness.
I got up off the couch and ran to the stairwell ignoring Bill's calls. The door was open and I saw a sight I never thought was possible. Eric Northman on his knees crying, they were speaking in a language that I couldn't understand but I could tell that Eric was begging Godric to stay. Godric put his hand on Eric's head, "Father, brother, son" with that Eric stood up to face his maker.
" I would let you stay alone."
"Yes you will, as you maker I command you." And with that Eric turned around and began to walk towards me I touched his hand. "I'll stay as long as I have to." He just nodded and went through the door. Godric was looking out over Dallas. He turned to me "It won't take long at my age."
I didn't know what to say in the few short hours I have known him he has become most human Vampire I have ever met.
"Eric is interested in you."
I sighed "You mean he is interested in my body and then tossing me away when he's bored of me."
he had a look of confusion on his face "It pains me to hear that you think of him like that, in the thousand years of his existence he has never showed any interest in human but I guess you can blame me for that," we continued in silence waiting for the Sun to rise. "Look after him will you?"
I let out a laugh "I'll try you know how Eric is."
"That's partly my fault,"
"What about Anna, how will she cope?" a look of guilt and sadness came upon his face.
"She's strong, so strong. I found her like this before and a roof waiting for the sun to rise and her skin stared to smoke but I dragged he in a begged her never to do anything like it again I couldn't bear to live this life without her, after that she had tried many other ways in meeting the true death. I had to silver her to our bed, it was horrible seeing my child, my wife, my everything so destroyed I almost wanted to take my life with her a least we could be together. She has to look after the family now, I know she will do a great job." Tears were fully running down my face now hearing what he had just said.
"Are you scared?"
"No."
"Well I'm scared for you."
"A human with me for my final moments, with human tears in all my two thousand years life still surprises me. Tell me Miss Stackhouse do you believe in God?"
I nodded.
"Then if he is real how will he punish me?"
I shook my head, "God doesn't punish, God forgives."
He looked at me and smiles. We both start to see the Sun rise he walks to the edge and takes of his shirt and he burns out in a blue light. I pick up his t-shirt and head toward the door heading to my room. I hear a sobbing in the room down the hall and I opened the door seeing a sight that made me go weak at the knees.
