This had to be the saddest moment in my life. She waited until she could see me, until I was there to hold her hand and kiss her cheek telling her everything would be all right. One nurse held my shoulder and dragged me away from the body. I felt a dull ache in my heart and head as I walked away from my grandmother. The second nurse covered her up with white linen. Tears moistened my exhausted face, as I stood in the doorway and said goodbye to my grandmother for the last time. I told the nurses I would be in contact with them later in the day to arrange services for the body and I walked out to my car. The car my grandmother had given me. It was a 2000 black Dodge Challenger. I smiled as I got in the car. Now I could never get rid of it.
I called Jenny but she didn't answer. Great just when I needed her she is nowhere to be found. I sighed and thought some more. If I went back to my grandmother's house… MY house I thought now, I knew I would sit and cry. I instead decided to start driving and see where my car took me. Maybe it would take the headache I was developing away too.
I weaved through the downtown area of Dallas, not really paying attention to which direction I was driving in. I was tired but I knew sleep wouldn't come to me now. The roads at this time of morning where empty. Most sane people were if anything just getting up now. My eyelids seemed heavy as I pulled into the nearly deserted parking lot and parked. I looked to the sky, which was a pale dark blue. The sun was about to come up in about a half hour. Finally, looking up to see where I was, I gasped. This had to be fate working at its finest.
Slamming my car door shut I ran into the building and breathlessly spoke to the front desk attendant then walked to the elevator. Stepping in I pressed the number 7 and leaned against the back of the cold steel elevator. The ride seemed to take forever, but as soon as the elevator rung and the doors opened I wished it had been longer. The red-carpeted hallway seemed to stretch for miles. 713…719…725. I counted in my head. The closer I stepped to the room the more my head pounded. 725 was the room but something seemed off, gravely off. The door was cracked. I rubbed my cheek and to my own astonishment tears had been falling, and currently still were. I looked up to make sure I was at the right place. 725. Yes I was at the right hotel door. I took a deep breath in and started pushing the door open.
"Eric…" I said loudly enough for even a human to hear me.
There was no answer but I saw him clearly sitting on the edge of the bed. His head was lowered in a defeated gesture and blood was streaking down his flawless pale face. And for the first time I could say I felt some emotion for him. I was worried out of my mind. Eric never came across as the kind of Vampire that could be hurt or even show emotion. I herd that vampires cried blood, but up until this point I never believed it. Blinking, more tears streamed down my face, and a haze started to fill my eyesight. My head throbbed in defeat. I knew what was happening and I closed my eyes and embraced it this time.
I saw two people through the haze. I concentrated harder. This had to be important somehow. The fog began to lighten and I recognized the two figures. There was the Dallas skyline behind them. The sky was starting to lighten. Eric was on his knees and Godric had one hand on his shoulder. Their lips were moving, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. I concentrated as hard as I could and their voices came into hearing range. I recognized the language but did not speak it myself. It was some type of Slavic language. Eric was crying though, that was clear, and it was breaking my heart.
"Please Godric!"
"Father, Brother, Son." Godric whispered from his lips.
"Emelie… Emelie!"
Eric's yelling voice seemingly broke me out of my trance. He was shaking me, and staring with worried eyes. I was on my knees holding my head. That was the most I had ever gotten out of one of my visions. How did I get down here? As soon as I thought about anything I regretted it. My head pounded furiously. I stood up with the help of Eric and looked in him dead in his eyes. His tears, his mood, obviously Godric and him had a very, very deep connection of some kind.
"Oh my God… the roof!" I said remembering the background of my vision. I looked down at my watch 6:23. If my assumption was right, I had approximately 15 minutes to save Godric. Eric didn't stop me as I ran out of the dimly lit room, holding my head, to the stairs at the end of the hallway. I jogged up 3 flights of steps and busted out onto the roof of the hotel. No. Literally, I tripped on the last step, busted through the door and fell on my face. I felt my face and winced in pain as I touched the gash along my jaw line. I grabbed my head again as it reminded me that my cut was not the only pain in my body. I stood up wearily.
"Oh my stars, Emelie are you alright?" Sookie said with a southern accent that only she could muster up. She ran over to help me up.
"I'm fine. Where is he?" I said winded looking down at my watch. 6:27. After this I definitely had to work out more.
She pointed in the direction to where Godric was and I walked over slowly. I didn't know what I was going to say but I had to say something. "Godric." I stated flatly. He turned around and looked at me. "You can't do this to him, you just can't." I didn't know what else to say.
"He came home today and spoke of you. I see that you can change him, and I hope the best for you two. I never thought he would change his ways, but it seems he might." He said smoothly.
I had to stop myself from smiling, because I knew that I was beginning to develop feelings for Eric too. I had to keep on task. Somehow. "First off Eric and I are not dating and…" I had to stop myself and I looked up at Godric smiling smoothly. "Godric do not change the subject get in the hotel, the sun is about to rise!" I said becoming desperate; he was way too calm about this whole situation.
"We have lived for so long, and yet we can not evolve. " He turned around but spoke loud enough for me to hear him. "All we create is pain and anguish, and instead of feeling sympathy towards those we hurt…" He trailed off "They relish in it. It pains me to see this world come so far. 2000 years has been more than enough." His white linens flapped in the Dallas wind after his long speech.
I turned to Sookie and she nodded leaving Godric and I alone on the roof. The beautiful orange and pink of the sun rising was starting to show. "Godric…" he turned around again as I walked closer to him and grabbed his hand. "There is a chance they can change. But your death would not help this cause. You said it yourself that you never believed Eric would change his ways, but you think I could change him. If I can change that stubborn, arrogant friend of yours then any vampire can change."
He stared at me as if he was just putting the pieces of what I was saying together. I saw the smoke starting to rise off of his skin. Slowly growing impatient I started trying to pull him towards the stairs. I knew he didn't have much longer before well he would die… however vampires die. It was early but the heat was already starting to pick up, and the more it did the antsier I got.
"We need good vampires like you to show the world that you are all not monsters to show that you all can care and love." Tears started forming and falling perversely down my cheeks again stinging the cut along my jaw line. "I need you to be okay, Godric please! I need you to save you because I couldn't save her please! I… I need to save you, there is still time! Godric don't…" I didn't know when I became and emotional wreck but I was slowly melting into his arms crying. I didn't think I could cry any more, but here were these tears, at the most irrational time, being squeezed from my own eyes falling onto his perfect white linen. My head, which had been pounding consistently, was resting against his chest. "Please Godric…" I said somehow through the tears, wheezing and gasping for air.
With a swift swoop I was in his arms and even more quickly I found myself in the stairway with ac hitting my saturated face. I held onto him as if for dear life as he slowly held me and walked down the cold grey stairs towards what I was assuming to be Eric's room. I was beginning to calm down as Godric Softly carried me down the familiar red-carpeted hallway.
"Are you alright to walk?" He asked right before reaching Eric's room.
I nodded slightly, and he put me down gently. I had the sudden urge to hug Godric and thank him for not meeting the sun, but I figured holding his hand was fine for this moment in time. We were only a few feet away from Eric's room but it felt like an eternity. My heart pounded a little harder, as I realized my headache was slowly waning away. I don't know how my body was even functioning right now. I had not been to sleep for over 24 hours, but I didn't feel even the slightest bit tired right now. My eyes however were heavy, and I knew they were completely bloodshot. A quick step later I was in front of Eric's door. I smiled still grasping Godric's hand and pushed the door completely open.
If I thought that 3-foot walk to the door was long, I completely underestimated time simulation! The moment that I opened that door I instantly regretted everything, besides saving Godric that is. I regretted Jenny taking me to this God forsaken place. I regretted arguing with him the first day I met him. I regretted inviting him into my house, and him being my first kiss. I regretted coming to his hotel suite. That one moment in time changed everything.
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED... HEHEH DONT FORGET TO REVIEW GUYS!
