The Sun for the Moon and Stars
Once again a huge thank you for the responses I have received for this story, I read everything I get and take your suggestions seriously. However, I need one question answered – what do you want this fic to be; Eric and Sookie, Sookie and Godric OR Eric, Sookie and Godric? Whatever you want I shall follow but I have to decide ASAP
Sookie was shocked, outraged and upset. So much had happened over such a short period of time, she felt it was all catching up with her and if she was being honest, keeping her new vampires impulses in check wasn't easy. She didn't know what to do with herself as she sat in the kitchen, Eric and Godric watching her closely. She didn't want to be seen to whine or weep; but surely she deserved the right to mourn her old life? Everything she seemed to have when she was human was crumbling around her. She needed space – she needed time to process everything, alone. She stood from the kitchen table and spoke directly to Godric. 'Can I have some time alone?' That was a new one for her, before Godric, she would have never asked anyone for permission to go anywhere – she was always very much in control of herself but now, she couldn't disrespect her maker by just running off; it seemed the most sensible thing to do.
Godric didn't argue, in fact he was very compliant, knowing his child was struggling at the moment; all he asked was that she would allow Eric to escort her to a room when she could have a while, on this night, to herself. She agreed willingly. 'Escort her to my room Eric; I will be in my office doing paperwork'
Eric, looking sadly down at Sookie – which was new for him – took her hand, escorting her to Godrics room which was up the stairs and on the right. They walked at human speed, not seeing the necessity to run on this occasion. Eric stroked the back of his vampire's sister's hand with the pad of his thumb. He felt something he didn't feel very often – empathy. Although in his eyes, Sookie had been given a great gift, he knew that it had been very sudden and unexpected for her and things were changing at a rapid speed. If he knew anything about Sookie it was that she was fiery and was always in control – that fire was gone from her eyes now, that determination had disappeared. At the moment, she was like a hollow Sookie – he didn't like it and would find a way with Godric to remedy it as soon as possible. He knew he had always had feelings for Sookie, but the fact he was so upset at seeing her like this worried him – they were very strong feelings.
They reached Godrics room and Eric swung the door open, leading her into a very modern styled room with a king size bed and blood red walls – ironically. He allowed Sookie to sit on the bed, sitting next to her for a moment before he spoke. 'I know this has all happened to fast and its catching up with you, but you are not alone. You now have two vampires who are more devoted to you than Bill ever was; you must remember that.' Eric smiled softly at her before planting a soft, affectionate kiss on the top of her head; she shivered at the contact. 'If you need us, just yell – we will hear you' and with that he left the room, closing the door behind him.
It took Sookie a few long minutes to allow Erics words to sink in before she could no longer keep her emotions in and began to let it all out. She couldn't differentiate one from the other which only confused her more. She was upset that her human life was over; she would never feel the sun again, never be able to lay out on her sun lounger and tan which had been a regular occurrence for her, she would never be able to enter a room full of people and not want to drink from them and she would probably never be accepted by her family and friends, all of whom pretty much hated vampires to their lifeless cores. If her grandma could see her now she would probably role over in her grave – Sookie shuddered, she would have to watch all her loved ones get old and die before her while she was continuously stuck at twenty-five; the thought almost crippled her.
But then on the other side, if Godric hadn't changed her, she would have been dead anyway so surely she should be happy and grateful for that right?
She felt hurt, Bill had well and truly fucked her over and now she had something else to worry about upon everything else that had been settled recklessly on her theoretical plate. She couldn't believe it at first when Eric stood in front of her and told her the story. The story of how when Bill had felt their connection go, packed up from the hotel they should be staying in together and run back to Louisiana, not to his home but to the vampire queens palace where he was [according to Erics spy] apologising profusely to the queen that he had failed in his mission – his mission to procure her because of her telepathic abilities. She knew Eric was right though, it all fell into place. He had been so quick to claim me as his and feed me his blood so he could always keep tabs on me – then he had continuously suggested us going on vacation to a little place he knew in Louisiana. Sookie had been well and truly played and to be honest it embarrassed her – she had given Bill everything; he blood, her virginity and above all, her trust.
She reached up to her face, wiping away her tears – gasping as she noticed they were red; she couldn't even cry like a human apparently. That angered her – it fuelled the fire burning within her more son; in fact, it was the last straw. Acting on impulse and impulse alone Sookie set about destroying the room she was in – Not because she purposely wanted to cause damage but because she didn't know what else to do; she didn't know how to make it better. Blood red tears falling from her face, she smashed things in a blur, throwing them and hitting them; only getting more frustrated when it didn't make her feel any better. Without even thinking, her anger at an all time high she swung her fist back and aimed at the wall before her, punching it several time with as much anger, frustration, strength and force she could muster. From beginning to end, the room trashing and wall punching was over in a matter of minutes.
Her hand was a mangled mess but she couldn't care. She found it no surprise when she turned around to see Eric and Godric standing before her, watching her in pure shock. She was unsure of how long they had been there but knew it couldn't have been long enough to see the whole thing. They both looked at her, her face stained with blood tears, both hands mangled to some degree or another. It didn't stop Sookie though; she didn't care if they could see her. Heck, they could watch if they wanted but she wasn't done yet and she could sense they knew this which was why when she was flung back on the bed after trying to take another swing at the wall she didn't try to stop it. It had been Godric, he had stopped her from hurting herself with a simple flick of his wrist – he was much older and therefore much stronger.
Eric sat beside me as I laid on the bed a crumpled, damaged mess, still crying. He took my hand into his as Godric took the other side of me and together, all three of us began to watch my wounds heal slowly but surely. Once healed Eric began to slowly stroke my once broken knuckles, worry evident on his face – but he didn't speak.
'It's okay to mourn Sookie, but please don't hurt yourself' Godric pleaded.
'I'm sorry' Sookie sobbed 'I wrecked your room'
'It is no longer my room to be wrecked after tonight, so I would not worry yourself. You had just reason'
'No excuse' Sookie cried softly as Eric stood and vamped out of the room, returning in a mere few seconds with a wash cloth and a bowl of warm water. He slowly started to wipe the blood from the different parts of my body. It was such a simple thing to do but it helped calm me, along with the calm Godric was sending through our bond.
'What will make this better for you my child? What can I do? Do I need to kill Bill Compton?'
Sookie shook her head 'Let him just believe I'm dead, I could no longer care' It was part truth at least, deep down she didn't care for Bill and if she wasn't being honest, hadn't felt anything for him since she had risen as a vampire but either way, he had hurt her and it stung.
'Then what? I want you to be a great vampire Sookie, but you will not do that if you continue feeling this way. You need to accept who you are but you also need to be happy. What will make you happy?'
Sookie contemplated this shortly as Eric continued his mission, drying her skin with a towel he had also brought back with him. 'I want to go home' It was a simple request, something they had, had planned already but as every minute passed, she needed it more and more.
'Then it will be done.' Godric replied simply. 'Eric, I have some final business to attend to and then I must see to our prisoners Hugo and Isabelle. Would you please book us some flights back to Louisiana?' Godric requested of Eric who nodded without a second thought although not taking his eyes from me. 'Sookie will no doubt feel the pull of the sun soon as she is so young'
'I will stay with her' Eric told Godric quickly, not wanting to leave Sookie in fear of what she could do to herself if left alone again – at least for tonight.
'Very well' he leaned over to Sookie and kissed her once on the cheek. 'I am just downstairs my child'
And with that, he left leaving Sookie and Eric on the bed alone.
'Well Sookie, I can't say I thought I'd be in a bed with you so soon' Eric wriggled his eyebrows at her after he had discarded the water and cloth and lay back on the bed, his hands behind his head and legs crossed. He was suddenly he usual cocky Eric Northman Vampire self.
Sookie giggled a little at his comment 'I wouldn't get my hopes up'
'It's not my 'hopes' that go up Sookie' He winked at – it would have made her blush if she had been human, that was for sure.
'Shut up Eric' she rolled her eyes at him before going silent. She found it was quite a comfortable silence however, especially as she felt a lot calmer and more control. She felt kind of ashamed if anything because of how she had acted.
'You will be okay Sookie. You have Godric and myself' He told her, reaching for her hand 'We will always look after you'
She nodded but didn't speak as they lay there, in a peaceful silence. They must have been there for around an hour before Sookie began to feel the pull of the sun. 'Thank you Eric' she spoke softly as she rolled over and rested her head on his chest. She wouldn't last much longer but hated the thought of dying for the day alone. She just wanted to feel close to someone and why couldn't that be Eric?
She sighed pleasantly as she felt Erics arms wrap around her and rub her back, causing her to give into the pull and die, peacefully, for the day.
Sookie, Eric and Godric were in a car on their way back to Shreveport, wanting to get to Erics club Fangtasia where they planned to die for the day. Sookie was excited, among other emotions such as nervousness and fright and although she could understand why they had to die for the day here [it was light tight] she had just wanted to get back home, to her small little house and enter some sort of reality, yet she had a feeling it wouldn't be all that simple – she had yet to tell her family and friends. She had, had no contact with them since she had left Bon Temps for Dallas; a fact she knew they wouldn't be best pleased with.
Fangtasia was a vampire club that was run by Eric and his child Pam. It was a 'respectable' establishment, if you could call it that – By respectable, it meant that vampires were very clever at not feeding on the humans there where they could get caught; otherwise, it looked very cliché and quite possibly sleazy. When the trio arrived around the back of the club Sookie stepped out of the car, straightening her clothes, which was – much to her dismay, just another t-shirt and pair of boxers from Godric; she couldn't wait to put on her own clothing. She hissed the loudness of the music from the open bar penetrating her ears with such force – it was so loud.
'It's okay, you will get used to it' Eric told her, placing a hand on the small of her back as Godric joined them.
'It's not just that, the people's thoughts are so loud; and there is so many of them – humans I mean. I don't know if I can do this' Sookie said truthfully. It was so much to contend with and fight – the loudness of the music, the humans' thoughts and their blood – it was calling for her.
'This may be too much too soon' Godric told Eric who nodded in agreement.
'The club was not meant to be open tonight; I will enter and close it down.' Eric told Godric who nodded in appreciation as Sookie found it harder and harder to withstand the three things that were beginning to cripple her. She held onto Godric for support as Eric left them, entering the back entrance for the club. 'I want them so bad' Sookie told him, referring to the human within the club – the need for blood was taking over the humans' thoughts and the loudness.
'I know my child, try and gain control, breathe – let your lungs burn the oxygen'
Sookie could feel her feet moving involuntary – her vampire instincts gradually taking over as the music stopped. She could tell that the humans were slowly leaving which only egged her on more – she only had a limited time to get what she needed.
'Godric' she looked at him worried, she needed him to do something and fast – she didn't want to hurt anyone; especially when she hadn't mastered any control yet, she would kill them.
'Okay Sookie I'm doing this for your own good – As your maker, I command you not to hurt any human within this bar unless instructed to do so or in a life or death situation' Godric commanded Sookie and she let out a slow breath to steady herself. She was still hungry and could still hear the humans leaving the bar but she felt in control – well not her own control, Godrics but that was okay for now; she had needed it.
'Thank you' she mouthed to him as Eric joined them back outside the club. 'Everyone has left – including my human employers; only Pam remains'
Godric looked at Eric appreciatively before taking Sookies hand and leading her through the door which led directly into Eric's office. Sookie had been in Eric's office a couple of times before and it hadn't changed much. It was dark, with a large wooden desk, with a rather large expensive looking chair behind it. Eric didn't stop in his office however, leading us straight through into the bar which was now empty apart from Pam who sat on a bar stool, her legs crossed and looking as smarmy as ever – that was until she saw Godric. When her eyes landed on Godric – much like Eric had done in Dallas, she fell to the floor onto one knee, bowing her head in a sign of respect.
'Pamela, it's been a very long time' Godric greeted her, releasing Sookies hand to take Pam's, helping her up onto her feet – very gentleman like.
It was then that Pam's eyes landed on Sookie, curiosity filling her – She had heard Eric had some big news for her – He had said that when he had rung her earlier, but she could never assume this was it. It all made sense now; Sookie had been holding Godrics hand; she had disappeared for a few days and Pam herself had felt a faint bond build within herself – Sookie was a vampire.
'Well, well, well, what a turn of events this is' Pam looked at Sookie smugly. Sookie stared back pointedly, she didn't feel the softness she had felt for Eric when he had found out – she knew what Pam was like, this would be torture in itself.
'Hello Pam' Sookie replied curtly.
'A lot of things happened in Dallas then' Pam continued.
'Yes Pam, you now have an auntie' Eric chimed in, deciding that he wasn't going to allow Pam to taunt Sookie. It soon wiped that smile from Pam's face to see her own maker winding her up.
Sookie giggled, secretly thanking Eric for his comment – it got her one up on Pam. 'I didn't realise that Pam, you're my niece now. What a turn of events' Sookie mocked the female vampire in front of her.
Pam stuck her nose in the air, ignoring the comment but looking pointedly at Eric. 'So are you going to tell me what happened, or do I have to guess?'
'Before anyone tells anyone anything, Pam would you be kind enough to get Sookie some clothes – I don't think she wishes to return home in my clothing and then if you could get us all some donor bags; my new child is hungry'
Although Godric asked, therefore giving Pam a choice – but she know she wasn't going to say no. Stepping from the stool Pam spoke directly to Sookie 'Come on auntie. Time to get you all dressed' she mocked Sookie who just glared at her but followed her dutifully out of the room.
Pam's clothing were far from Sookies normal choice of clothing – she didn't actually think Pam knew what 'dress-down' meant. It took them both a good half an hour of going through her numerous amounts of clothing and squabbling before Sookie managed to get a half decent outfit together; black shorts, a red Fangtasia t-shirt and a black jacket, with black heels [apparently Pam didn't know what the word 'flats' meant]. She wasn't overly pleased with the new outfit but she didn't really have much choice.
'You are going to have to get used to this now Sookie; we are vampires, we are expected to looking stunning at all times – keeps up the image'
Sookie scoffed – Not all vampires kept up that image she was sure, but now it would have to do – just until she got home. She re=entered the main bar while Pam went to retrieve some donor bags which she was grateful for, she was very hungry. Godric and Eric both stared at the vampire beauty before them, Godric taking in his precious new child and Eric, his new hot vampire sister – although he wouldn't linger on the sister part too much.
'This was all Pam had' Sookie huffed, sliding into the booth next to Godric where Eric and him had been seated. She noticed they had been in quite a very looking conversation until she interrupted them. 'Don't stop talking on my behalf'
'Eric and I were just discussing how unique you are' Godric told Sookie, not wanting to hold any information back from her.
'Excuse me?' Sookie needed confirmation on what she had just heard past Godric lips.
'It's unusual that your talent survived the transformation' Eric told Sookie, watching her intently as Pam brought out four donor bags, placing them all on the table before slipping into the booth opposite Sookie. It was quite comical really – The children and their makers sitting together, opposite from each other; it made Sookie smile quite a bit.
'For now Sookie, we can assume Bill doesn't know you are still alive and for your sake – we need to keep this secret from him' Godric began to explain as Sookie opened her bag, her fangs 'clicking' into place as she began to slurp the blood successfully – it tasted so good. 'Of course at some point he will find out but it will bind us some time until then.'
'And then what? He wants me for the queen' Sookie asked, pausing.
'He wants human Sookie for the queen, if we can keep the fact you have your talent still very quiet; we can trick Bill Compton – therefore the queen will lose interest'
Sookie wondered how the two vampire men had discussed so much and come up with a plan in the short while she had been gone – they both looked serene and confident. 'So apart from keeping my talent as a secret, what do you want me to do?'
Sookie found the question difficult to say, as she finished off her blood blag – arousal slowly beginning to creep up on her once more. It had happened again and now she was panicking. She wanted just alone with Godric this time, she was with Pam and of course Eric – It was a dangerous situation, especially as Eric looked so good sitting across the table in that black leather jacket he nearly always wore.
She didn't need this right now – the last thing she wanted was for Eric to find out she was horny as hell right now; he would have a field day and she would probably have done something she would have probably wanted to forget. Although... would it be a bad thing? Was doing something with Eric seriously such a disgusting thought? The answers to both of those questions was a straight forward no. He was disgusting in the slightest – bad maybe but I could overcome that.
It was difficult not to pounce on him running her hands under that tank top that rested so tightly on him. She wanted to touch his abs, so badly, while she kissed his neck in the right places. Sookie wriggled in the chair and she imagined his pelvis and wait lay waiting for her, just under them. She shuddered, quite visibly but didn't care – as especially no one cared; they were too busy talking amongst themselves. She wondered what kind of 'package' she would be dealing with – she could assume it wouldn't be small; this was Eric of course, he never did anything in half measures. Oh god she thought as she imagined his cock sliding into her wet, dripping entrance she could have sworn she had the smallest of orgasms there and then.
'Sookie? It was Eric, pulling her from her thoughts.
'Mmm yes?'
'Why did you say my name?' He wriggled his eyes brows as the other two vampires watched. 'Well, you moaned it more precisely, but why?'
Sookie looked at him dumbstruck, unsure of what to say, embarrassed beyond belief. Had she really just moaned Erics name out loud in front of everyone? Sookie threw her head into her hands before whimpering.
'Oh fuck'
Short chapter - Sorry.
Eric and Sookie, Sookie and Godric OR Eric, Sookie and Godric? Decide. :D
