I own nothing.

Godric's head turned at the sound of his name and he looked to Sookie. 'You should not have come,' he began, before shifting his eyes to Taylor. 'Either of you.'

He looked strained now, Taylor thought. As if the weight of the world was resting on his shoulders. Back in the cell he had seemed almost at peace, like his imprisonment was a good thing, or as if it made up for something. Some cage that was she mused, looking at the vampire who had obviously been able to break out of it.

There was also sadness in his eyes and he looked away as Taylor fiddled with the button of her jeans. Now a little more presentable she slowly stood, not looking at his downcast eyes but turning to help Sookie, who had now pulled herself into a seated position.

Once they were both on their feet they felt a stirring in the air. Godric's head snapped up at the disturbance, his eyes closing. 'Bill?' Sookie called, grasping on to Taylor for support as she stood, swaying on her feet.

'No,' it was Godric who spoke, 'I am here my child. Down here.' Less than a second later, Eric was stood in the doorway. His eyes were wide and shocked with numerous emotions playing on his face.

'Godric,' he half-whispered. He knelt in front of the smaller vampire, bowing his head a little as he did so.

'You were a fool for sending humans after me,' Godric spoke, there was little emotion in his words but he spoke to Eric with a steady voice. He spared a quick glance to Taylor as he said the word 'humans', before refocusing his attentions on Eric.

'I had no other choice; these savages, they seek to destroy you,' by the end of his words he was looking up at the smaller vampire. To Taylor, Eric looked like he hadn't slept for a week, although, apart from his eyes he hadn't a hair out of place.

Godric's expression never wavered. 'I'm aware of what they had planned,' at this Eric face fell even more, and although he tried to hide it, it was a futile effort. Godric's jaw tensed slightly as he looked at him. What was planned? Taylor thought, not following. Pointing to an unconscious man on the floor, who she presumed to be Hugo, Godric spoke, 'This one betrayed you.'

Sookie answered the unasked question, her eyes darting between the three of them. 'He's with the fellowship; they set a trap for us,' Taylor, still holding Sookie steady, studied both vampire's expressions carefully. Godric looked worn, but he looked to Sookie as she spoke, whereas Eric stayed focused on Godric. From the slight hardening of his expression he looked a little pissed. Taylor presumed that they had both met Hugo before.

Eric though, did not reply to Sookie, instead addressing Godric again, still on his knees. 'How long has it been since you have fed?' Taylor gulped a little at his words; she wouldn't be surprised if he tried to offer one of them up for Godric, if the expression on his face was anything to go by.

Thankfully, he declined. 'I require very little blood anymore,' his words were sure. To Taylor he did look paler than Eric, so maybe he was lying. She didn't think the Fellowship would bring any TruBlood down here for him, being vampire-haters.

Eric looked as if he was going to contradict Godric's statement but he silenced himself as an alarm began to sound. The blonde vampire's actions seemed to be slower than normal. He was still kneeling, watching Godric's expression. Who'd have thought, an inside alarm in a church. They really were prepared Taylor mused.

It was Godric who reacted the quickest. 'Save the humans. Go,' his eyes were already on the doorway.

'I am not leaving your side until-.' Eric countered, his voice stern.

Godric interrupted him before he could finish, 'I can take care of myself.'

Taylor didn't understand, why was he talking as if he wanted to stay? That idea of a doctor for him was sounding better by the minute. She was only relatively sure he was telling the truth. Yes, vampires can take care of themselves, but one that was able to be captured by the Fellowship and held for days might not be able to. Then how come he was able to escape his cell so easily? None of this made any sense.

Sookie, who was a lot more stable now grumbled to herself. 'Come on, we have to go!' she darted over to Eric who was now, finally, stood on his feet.

'Spill no blood on your way out,' was Godric's last words as Eric, conceding, picked Sookie up and moved out the door.

It was just Taylor and Godric now, and she moved towards him, standing in front of him where Eric had been kneeling only seconds ago. The flashing lights of the alarm were reflecting off of the many metal objects surrounding them, making bright patterns shine on the walls and ceiling.

Godric's lowered eyes rose to meet Taylor's as she spoke. 'Why do I have the feeling that you don't want to come with us?' he did not reply, instead continuing to look at her. 'We didn't come all this way for you to say no.'

After a few seconds of deliberation he answered her. 'I will see you outside; go with Eric,' his eyes indicated the door, but Taylor sighed as he made no move towards it. Why he couldn't go with them she didn't know.

'Do you promise?' she questioned, looking at him. She watched the emotions play out in his eyes and quickly she could tell he had made a decision.

'Yes, I swear it, now go,' for a vampire he sure did seem to prefer putting human needs before his own. Taylor was sure if Bill was in his place, he would have already made some lame excuse for needing to bite Sookie. Maybe he's older than Bill, since Eric was practically ancient and from what she had gathered they seemed to know each other well enough. Unfortunately, she had no way of guessing his age since vampires don't visibly change.

Satisfied, Taylor followed the path Eric had taken, only looking back as she walked through the door. Godric hadn't moved but his eyes were tracking her movements.

Idly, whilst walking through the musty corridor, Taylor wandered where Jason had gotten to, since the last time she has seen him was when they were on the plane. She doubted that he would have let Sookie come here without him so where was he? She hoped he hadn't been injured or caught by the Newlins.

Turning a corner Taylor spotted both Eric and Sookie waiting by the door at the end of the hallway. Sookie was stood on her own two feet now and spotted Taylor as soon as she caught up with them. 'Oh, gosh, I thought something had happened to you!' She exclaimed, pulling Taylor in for a hug.

'Sook I was gone for all of two minutes,' she joked back. Taylor looked at Eric over Sookie's shoulder, knowing that he had probably heard her and Godric's conversation. At least he's a little less tense now she thought, even though they still had to find a way out of here.

Creaking open the door they found themselves at the bottom of a flight of off-white stairs. Clambering up them and walking along the landing they peered around the corner and from where they stood Taylor could see people filing into another room. Ahead of them lay the closed doors that would lead them to their freedom, blocked by the mass of church-goers. As well as the sound of the blaring alarm, Steve Newlin's voice rung loud through the speakers, telling all the Fellowship members to evacuate the building.

'I could have you out in seconds,' Eric mumbled and to Taylor it sounded more like he was talking to himself than either of them.

'There's kids out there!' Sookie angrily whispered.

'None of those humans would think twice about hurting us,' he replied, his eyes watching the evacuation.

'Why didn't you bring Bill with you?' Sookie asked and Taylor had to fight not to roll her eyes. Really Sook? We're trapped inside this church and you're asking why Bill isn't here? There are more important things to thing about! Like escaping! But it did make her wander what had happened to the dark haired vampire.

'His attachment to you is irrational; it clouds his judgement.' Eric began. I couldn't have put it better myself, Taylor thought. 'He would kill every child in this church to save you,'

Sookie's voice was snarky as she replied. 'Why aren't you?' Taylor stood between them, beginning to feel annoyed. Can we not get out of here already? You two are bickering like an old married couple.

'I'm following Godric's orders and getting you out, that's all,' that was true Taylor knew, but throughout her entire time of knowing Eric Northman she had never once seen him follow orders. There must be more between them than I originally thought.

'He's your maker isn't he?' Taylor asked, putting the pieces together. It made sense that the only person he would get on his knees for was his maker, so it must be Godric.

'Don't use words you don't understand,' was his only reply, looking from Sookie to Taylor.

'You have a lot of love for him,' this was a statement. Taylor smirked a little, Eric always tried to come off as not caring and having no attachments, but now she knew it was all a façade.

It was only then that he looked away, his eyes returning to the evacuation. 'Don't use words I don't understand,'

Taylor could tell Eric was undecided about what to do. Sighing she muttered, 'Stay here,' and moving before Sookie could stop her she walked out into the open, just as a group of the Fellowship's 'Soldiers of the Sun' were locking the doors on the evacuees.

'Hey there!' she called as she strolled up to them. 'Steve asked me to man the fort while you guys lock up the rest of the place,' she said it casually with her hands in her pockets.

'What you? A girl?' one of the men questioned, jeering with the other two next to him. He was in his mid-twenties, Taylor guessed, and he was dressed like his two friends in the grey drab uniform they had obviously been given by Steve.

'Is there a problem with that?' Taylor queried, annoyed at their sexist remark but still attempting to keep a smile on her face. From the looks the men were giving her, her smile had probably turned into a grimace.

The second man sized her up, stalking around her. 'Where's your weapon?' Damn, Taylor thought.

'Err,' before she had time to formulate a response she heard Sookie's cry of 'Stake!' and she ducked as the first man attempted to hit her. Goddammit, she thought, spinning and landing a round house kick to his face. I'm not even that pale, how can they think I'm a vampire?

Smoothly dodging a punch coming from her right she instead grabbed the man by his shirt and forcefully threw him into the third Soldier of the Sun that was advancing on her. They both fell into a heap of tangled limbs on the floor. Well that took care of that.

Not sparing them a glance, she followed Sookie and Eric who were now running to the door. Yanking it open, the three of them piled outside only to discover that there were at least forty Soldiers of the Sun advancing on them. This day cannot get any worse.

The Soldiers were less than six feet away when Taylor felt a slight disturbance in the air. Annoyingly, Eric didn't seem fazed by any of it and actually looked expectant, almost excited. Taylor realised why he looked so care-free when she heard a soft thud sound from just behind her.

'Aren't you glad I'm here?' she heard Godric's soft voice in her ear before she and a startled Sookie were pulled up into the night sky.
