A big thanks to everyone who reviewed! I appreciate it alot!
I seem to be over my writers block, so hopefully I'll be able to get another chapter up tonight.
Also, if anyone has any ideas they'd like to see play out in my fic, pm me and I'm sure i could make it happen.
I have a few ideas of what's to come, but I'd like to hear from the readers! =]
Lila pulled into the driveway, and cut the engine.
Having known that the time was well after midnight, she used her key and quietly closed the front door.
Without notice, the light turned on, followed by a hysteric voice.
"Lila! Where have you been?!" Chris asked. "I've been so worried about you, you werent answering your phone."
Lila turned to face her, and chris's face looked shocked.
"What happened to you?" she asked, walking closer to inspect her clothes.
She looked down at her shirt, which still had her dry blood on it.
"I'm fine, really..it's nothing." She tried convincing her.
"Don't bullshit me Lila, this isnt nothing, you're covered in blood "
She smiled "And yet, here I am, alive and kicking."
The blank look on her face proved that Chris was not going to be satisfied with a cheesy joke.
"Look, there was a dog on the side of the road, someone must have hit it, anyway i checked to see if it was still alive and i must have gotten its blood on me."
Chris sighed." You know what, I'm not gonna push this then."
Able to tell her friend was still in distress, she took her hand.
"Chris, I'm tired, I'm sure you are too." she took a breath "I'm sorry for not calling, but I can assure you, if anything happened to me, you'd be the first to know."
Chris let a small smile show on her face, trying to brighten the mood.
"I'm gonna go take a shower and head to bed, you gonna be alright?" she asked
"Yeah, I gotta be up early for work." Chris said in a deflated voice.
"Okay, good night." Lila said, turning to walk up the stairs.
While in the shower she couldnt help but feel like garbage for lying to her best friend, but really, what good could come of her knowing?
Lila knew that deep down, she was doing the right thing by keeping Chris out of it completely.
After drying off and putting on her black silk, knee length night dress, she crawled into bed and turned out her side lamp.
Despite how tired she felt, her mind was moving a mile a minute with all that had happened that night.
Even if Godric had been right about her, wouldn't she have noticed something different with herself by now?
She felt, and always had, just like every other girl.
So why did his words stick in her mind? Why had 'he' been on her mind all night? As she started to drift off to sleep, she thought of all the things she remembered of him.
His marble-like skin, penetrating eyes--soulfull but cold, and his lips, his lips that just begged to be caressed.
She didnt know how long she'd been asleep when she awoke to a cool breeze in her room.
sitting upright, she noticed the window that had been closed before, was now fully opened and the night air was causing her curtains to dance.
Lila walked over to the window and closed it, pausing for a moment.
As her vision went from concentrating on the landscape below to the reflection of the window, she saw his face behind her.
she turned hastily to see Godric standing a few feet from her, now wearing all black.
"Hello." He greeted in a soft voice.
"Hi." she said in a quick breath.
He took a few steps towards her, until they were only inches away.
"Should I even ask?" she whispered
"Ask what?" He questioned, looking slightly puzzled.
"why you're here.."
Godric raised a cool hand and cupped the side of her face.
"That is irrelivant." he whispered back, a small smile on his face.
"Is that your suave vampire way of telling me that I'm dreaming?" she asked, smiling herself.
Rather than answering her question, he dipped his head down so that his lips were brushing hers.
She felt her breath hitch.
"Do I intrigue you?" he asked in a breathy voice.
"Yes."
He closed the distance between them.
His icy lips felt amazing against her heated ones, and she couldn't help but let a moan escape.
Raising his head again, he allowed her to catch her breath.
Knowing that she undoubtedly wanted to kiss him again, she rested her hands on his shoulders, as his rested on her hips.
She pulled herself onto her toes and crashed her lips back onto his. Maybe it was out of instinct, but he pushed her up against the algid mind raced, and her blood sped up. she had to gasp for air once thier lips parted.
Godric looked seductively slowely from her eyes to her one hand now rested just above her right shoulder, his other brushed her left strap to dangle along her arm. He kissed her along her shoulder, making a trail of seemingly seering kisses.
Now breathing to the best of her ability, she felt his lips stop once ontop of where her jugular was.
He close his lips and pulled his head up from her neck.
"I thought I had more control, I apologize." He said, once again with sorrow in his eyes.
"It's okay.." Lila said
Looking from the ground up to her eyes, a smile formed on his lips.
He took her hand and said "It's time."
She looked confused.
"Time for what?" she asked sweetly.
"Time for you to wake up."
Lila jolted as she woke, sweat matting her hair to her face.
She tried to slow her breathing as she looked around her room to see that the window was closed.
" holy shit " she whispered.
Laying back down, she felt the rush of exhaustion hitting her once more, and she dozed off.
Despite her restless sleep and relentless dreams, Lila managed to wake before 2pm the next day.
She shuffled across the floor, grabbing a hair tie and putting her hair up.
Chris was sitting at the kitchen table, enjoying a hot cup of coffee.
"Hey you, how'd you sleep?"
Without thinking, her mind raced and she panicked.
"Fine, why wouldn't I be fine?" she said, taking a breath.
Chris's eyebrows knit togther in confusion.
"Next time i wont ask.."
Retiring to the seat next to her, Lila sighed in defeat.
"I'm sorry Chris, I don't know what's wrong with me this morning.."
"Well, maybe..."
Chris's voice faded to black, everything seemed so much more..vibrant.
She could hear the humming bird that hovered outside her window, the scraping of the spoon on Chris's coffee mug as she stirred her seemed to slow down, and cause the hair on the back of her neck to stand up.
"Lila, did you hear me?" Chris asked, in a tone of disbelief.
"What? No, I'm sorry.."
Chris pursed her lips. "I was saying..maybe it had something to do with last night." she paused. "I don't know about you, but if i found a dead dog, I'd be having awful dreams for months!"
Her mind went back to last night, flashes of Godric, Stan, and the pain.
Lila extended her hand to rest on Chris's.
"I swear, this wont be an issue..I just have alot to get used to here in Shreveport, that's all." she said with an endearing smile on her face.
After a moment, Chris rose from the table.
"Well, off to work i guess, tonights your first shift at Merlottes right?"
"Yeah." she said, grabbing some coffee for herself.
She realized that she had no memory of telling her friend of her accomplishment.
"Well, good luck, see you tonight." She said, and walked out to her car.
Stay tuned! There should be more of Godric and Lila in the next chapter, I just hope my ideas dont come out worse than they seem in my head xD.
