Chapter 3
Eric POV
Odin's Thunder where and how? She was an angel. There is no better way to describe her. You can add miracle worker to her list of talents. Godric had been brooding for the last two centuries without even the hit of a smile. In the last couple of hours I have seen him smile perhaps more than he has smiled since I have known him.
"Thank you for sharing this information with me. I will do whatever is in my power to make sure you are left alone by he and the queen. I will do what I can to also avert my own disasters as well. His name is William Compton. He was in my bar this evening and requested permission to relocate in my area. He said he was moving into his family home here in Bon Temps." Sookie gasped when I said this. We both turned to look at her, alright I had already been looking at her, but I was trying to pay attention to Godric.
"Sookie, lover, why did you react that way?" A quiver of her lip, a glisten in her eye, and I am ready to kill Compton.
"Godric, that is the house on the other side of the cemetery. Since I have lived here there have only been a few residents of that place. Jesse Compton has owned it and lived there for the last 50 years. He died about three weeks ago. The circumstances were very unusual. The coroner said it looked like he was frightened to death. I do not want Compton that close to me. The house is heavily warded and I have my own wards, but why tempt fate? We should leave for awhile. I will call Pythia."
"Stay with me." I blurt out; I hope he agrees, I need to be near him. "I want to be near you as much as I am able while you are in Louisiana and I would love to get to know your dear angel better. My home is more than large enough to accommodate you both"
"Eric we would love to stay with you for awhile. Do you agree to having your home warded. Sookie is very good at these and they will last even after we have gone."
I would agree to anything to have my maker near and this happy. "It would please me to know end. Gather what is needed from here and I will call Pam to bring the car."
"There is no need for Pam. Just wait here Sookie has already gone to get our things and she will take us to your home. Have you ever teleported? It is quite different."
Teleport? What the hell is he talking about? And when did she leave? 'Pop' shit! Alright so I get she is good at teleporting but how does that help the rest of us?
"Eric if you would hold Godric's hand and think of your home focusing on one image, that would be helpful."
My maker is grinning widely. I decide to play along and grab his hand. Moments later and more than a little dizzy the three of us are standing outside my home in Shreveport. Godric is plum giddy, teleporting must agree with him, and Sookie is glowing with an aura of starlight. She is mesmerizing. I can see what initially drew my maker in. After the two are finished touching and rubbing all over each other, the angel speaks again.
"If it is alright I will go ahead with my warding." She pulls a few items from her pocket then starts to walk the perimeter of my property. At the eastern, western, southern, and northern most points she buries one of the small things she has been carrying then she stands behind the house in the center of my property and begins. Godric sits in the grass and watches her. I sit next to him eager to learn more about my maker's chosen mate. She begins to speak in a language I do not recognize and many things happen. She begins to glow brighter as her words increase in tempo and volume. The air begins to whip around us and the circle around my property that she walked glows. Her hair is rising and swirling with its own life force then flames shoot from her hands to the glowing circle and the whole circle around my property ignites instantly. Vampires and fire are a very bad combination and I start to get nervous but Godric lays a hand on my arm and says "just watch." More words of power and a dome barrier shimmered into existence with the flaming circle as its base. There is a loud sizzle then all returns to normal. Sookie turns to looks at us and the magic is still swirling in her eyes. I can see flames licking and magic glitter in her eyes, it is amazing. She speaks and it is marvelous. Her angelic voice holds so much power but it tickles and caresses you making you feel light and bubbly. "Dance with me." My maker is at her side in an instant and has her pulled into his embrace. They twirl around while she hums and smiles delighted by whatever she is feeling at the moment while Godric delights in her. The moment is so whimsy but when you are as powerful as the two of them combined you can be as whimsical as you like.
