As soon as a sound came out of my mouth, all eyes turned to me. I got this feeling from some, that I just should not have been speaking, but I went on anyway. I spoke about how perhaps humans were intimidated by the fact that vampires were immortal. Death was the one thing that humans feared the most and vampires rarely had to deal with such an uncertainty as death. Vampires lacked the same inevitableness that humans had.
The wise boy looked at me with appreciation then turned to the group. He announced to them that my answer was the type of answer he was looking for. He told us that in his two-thousand years of life, the abstract answer was never quite easy to find.
Soon the circle started to disintegrate, and there were only a few of us left. Anders stood in front of the boy and addressed him with great respect. I soon got this feeling that perhaps he was important besides the fact that he had lived for two thousand years. Anders soon signaled for Antoinette and I to come over.
Obviously Antoinette had met him before because he had greeted her by name. Anders introduced me to him and I finally found out his name, Godric. Upon meeting him, I noticed how reserved he was, but perhaps if one just listened to his calm, yet tense voice, one would be able to come to such a conclusion as well.
He was indeed holding something back and his face was of a person who had carried a great burden. He puzzled me at first, but then I pondered the fact that he had lived for two thousand years. Imagine living that long and just having to live life on the sidelines. He watched the whole world change, but yet he remained the same. Evolution is a fact of life, and so really, he was not living at all.
By the way he was looking at me, I knew he could tell that I was attempting to analyze him. He was neither upset nor annoyed because he was doing the same to me. He told me that my answer to his question earlier was impressive and he asked if I would like to discuss the subject further. I graciously accepted, and sat down to talk. We talked about a vast amount of subjects, which we varied on opinion-wise, but he seemed to appreciate my views. We discussed until the party was finally over and Antoinette was ready to go home.
Before I left, Godric asked me how long I would be staying, and he was pleased to hear that was going to be in Dallas for a little over 3 weeks. He then insisted that I come to another one of the gatherings
On the way home, I asked Antoinette to tell me everything that she knew about Godric. All she knew was that he was the vampire sheriff of Dallas.
I was curious about Godric, he was not just any vampireā¦
