Chapter Four

It was 7pm now. Godric was moving from the hotel to Bon Temps, Where Sookie and Bill lived. He would be staying with Bill while I was offered a room at Sookie's. I accepted.

Sookie, her brother Jason and I all sat in the back-seat of the car while Bill and Godric slept in their coffins. It had been a long drive and now it was day light.

I leant over the back of the seat and tapped Godric's coffin. "Can you hear me?" I asked.

I heard tapping from within and I giggled, sitting back down.
I caught Jason looking at me funnily and I looked back. "yes?" I asked him.
Instead of addressing me he turned to Sookie "Are you sure she's okay? I mean, I saw her around her father and the other Fellowship of the Son members, she was as devoted to the cause as the Newlin's were."

"Jason, she's fine" Sookie reassured him.
But he didn't stop looking.

"You slept in the guest room, instead of the barracks. Do you know why? Because Sarah wanted you in her pants. I knew that. If I had of been as devoted as you say, shouldn't I have told my father? Or, perhaps I should have prayed every night for the death of all vampires, but do you know what I was doing while my father said grace at the dinner table, asking god to kill all those who could not eat? texting my friend. Do you know what I was doing when I was there when you were training, I was grounded. Terms were I couldn't leave my fathers sight. You may think I was devoted. But I wasn't, I never was. And do not accuse me for wanting death to vampires" I told him angrily.

Jason looked regretful "Sorry" he told me. "I didn't realise."

"That's okay, not many people do actually see that I can think of my self. Besides, you were just watching out for your family. I would too"

It took another hour to get to Bills place and when there we had to sign for the coffins.

"And who is signing for this one?" The man said, pointing to Godric's coffin.

Sookie pointed to me.

He handed me the board "And if I was to not sign for it? What would happen?" I asked

"I wouldn't be aloud to open it and I'd have to take it back where it came from" he answered, sighing loudly. He just wanted to go, I could tell.

I heard banging from inside the coffin.

I laughed and signed. He then opened both coffins, let the vampires get out and then load them back onto his car. He then drove away. "Didn't even say goodbye" I said, mocked sadness.

Godrick was also sad. I went over "What's wrong?" I asked.

"You have no idea how cramped that gets, and then you wouldn't sign! I'm offended" He teased.

I grinned "because I signed, does that mean I like, own you?" I asked him, looking at Sookie for confirmation.

"I don't know. Never thought of it..." She mused, poking Bill in the chest "Do we own you now?"

"You can own me any time" He murmured.

I laughed awkwardly at them as they kissed. Godric cleared his throat. "Dani and I shall go for a walk. Did you say there was a restaurant here? I think I should feed her"

"I'm not a cat. I can feed myself" I told him, walking to the kitchen.
Bill laughed "no food in this house Dani, But yes, the humans need to eat. Lets go"

"Do we have to. I don't want to eat where I work" Sookie complained.

"Oh, you work there?! Think I can get a job?" I asked, thinking about all the time I'd be alone during the day.

"Maybe, I'll ask Sam" She said, putting an arm around my shoulders and leading me to the car.

Once at Merlottes we found a seat and Sookie went off to talk to Sam, who was her boss. While she was gone two men came up. "You are not welcome here vampires" They said, standing tall.

Bill sat up straight "You should be used to me coming. You know how Sookie feels" He warned them.

Godric did not interfere. He sat there silently. The men standing before us brought out silver chains "Don't make us drag you out" they threatened.

I stood "Take yourselves and your views elsewhere. Considering Bill is with Sookie, who works here, the owner obviously doesn't have a problem with them drinking here. So, leave us alone" I said strongly, eyeing the chains in there hands.

"We can use it on you, too"

Godric was in front of me before I blinked. "You harm her and your heads will no longer be attached to your neck" He growled.

"Guys, stop!" I said, frantic now as the men came forward.

The chains were suddenly around Godric's throat, who fell to the ground. Bill jumped up onto one of the men. "Release the chain now or your friend will die" he growled.

The man holding the chain laughed and pulled it tighter. Godric's throat was burning, the smell making me dizzy.

"Sookie!" I cried, trying to get her to come out with her boss, grabbing a knife and I ran toward the man with the chains. "Let it go" I said, as I jumped at him.
He cried out as I cut his arm, making him drop the chains. I then placed my hand over his cut, healing it instantly.

"She cut me! She cut me! Murder" he sobbed.

I let go of him and ran to Godric, moving the chains from him. The burns were slowly healing, I placed my hands around his neck, making it faster. He smiled and mouthed 'thank you'.

"She's killed me!" the man continued to sob.

"You idiot" I said, wiping the knife on the back of my shirt. "I didn't touch you" I said, showing him the knife, no blood

He looked to his arm and then the knife. "but, how?"

Sookie came running out with a man following behind her. "what's going on!" he said as he observed the scene. The two men were inspecting his bloody arm while I was kneeling over Godric and Bill was sitting back in his seat.

"Nothing now" Bill said, letting Sookie hug him around his neck.

"Are you okay?" I heard her say.

"I'm fine" he promised.

"Okay, you two, out of my place now. I do not tolerate people like this. Everyone knows vampires are welcome here." he then turned to the rest of the people "Everyone, back to your meals, unless you have a problem with them here, you can leave as well"

Everyone began eating again, stealing side glances at us.

We all sat back down, I cleaned the blood off my hands with the napkins. The man who had come out before sat down next to Sookie. "I'm sorry guys. I do try to stop it, you know that Bill, but they are just idiots." He reassured us. Then turned to me and Godric "I'm Sam Merlottes, owner of this place. I hear from Sook, that you are living here for a while"
Godric smiled "Yes, until we can find what were meant to be doing. And it's safer...less people, less worries"

Sam nodded in understanding.

"I'm Dani, and this is Godric. Thank you for kicking those men out"

"Thats quite alright. Now, I hear you wanted a job? We'll your in luck, we need another waitress" He said smiling "How old are you?" He asked.

"17" I lied. Sookie sighed, shaking her head. "15" I said, blushing.
He nodded "It's alright, either way, you can work here. Just not at night."
"thank you, thank you so much" I said, shaking his hand.

"You start tomorrow, alright. Come in with Sookie in the morning, she's working too. She can show you what to do" He said, then he said goodbye and left down the hall.

"So, there busy, I'll take the order up, what did you guys want?" Sookie asked.

Godric and Bill ordered True Bloods while I ordered the French Salad.

She left and then came back saying it'd be here in a bit.

We talked casually about random things and then ate in a small silence when the food came. Bill and Godric drank their drinks with no enthusiasm.
"Does it not taste good?" I asked, enquiring.

"No, not anything like the real thing." Bill told me, smiling at Sookie. She blushed and shoved food in her mouth.
I giggled.

"Its more metallic, polluted than human blood" Godric told me. "Although, I don't exactly need to drink much any more. The older you are the longer you can stay without drinking."
"Then how come when I saw you chained you looked dead" He raised an eyebrow at the word dead. "Well, deader than you usually look" I joked.

"Thats because I had been inside for over a month, we no fresh air. And I hadn't drunk before that in a month. So really, two months without drinking is my limit" He explained.

I nodded.

"Why do you test it? Why not drink all the time so you don't get into a situation like that" I asked, putting more food in my mouth.

"Because 2000 years of life has made me feel indestructible, I was a bit over confident." He admitted.

I didn't say anything but continued to eat.

We drove back to Sookies house and all played poker. Which was incredibly hard considering the blank face Godric had practice with all these years. I did however manage to make him loose one hand by running my finger up his thigh. He then complained that was indecent of me.

I fell asleep on the couch at about 4am, unable to stay awake any longer. I did tell Godric to wake me when he was leaving but just like I thought, he didn't.

I woke up in a strange room, and with a even stranger feeling. Two things were wrong, firstly, I didn't have a dream about the white man and secondly, I felt like I was being watched.

I looked out the window and found the sun rising, but I also found a strange car in the driveway. It wasn't Sookie's and Bill's wasn't here any more.

I went to go out into the hallway when someone caught me around my waist, covering my mouth with there hand. "Scream and I hit you" a man warned.

He turned me to face him and I found myself looking at the man who approached us at Merlottes.

"Kevin, have you got the other one yet?" He shouted out, opening the door with his foot and dragging me out of the room, his hand still around my mouth. I bit down, hard and he let me go. Once free I ran for Sookies room, only to find the man called Kevin, pulling her out. She was unconscious, with a small amount of blood oozing from her hair. I kicked him hard in the shin and grabbed Sookie, placing my hand on her head, healing her. She woke up in a daze and I pulled her down toward the stairs. She caught on what was happening and ran with me.
Once outside, we didn't get into the car, but ran toward the forest, hoping to loose them. Their car was bigger and faster than Sookies and we would have been sitting ducks in it.

"Come on" I said, running faster. Sookie, whose leg was bleeding, was limping. I hadn't noticed that before. She fell to the ground, tripping on a root.

"Sookie!" I cried, kneeling beside her and holding my hand over her leg. She watched in amazement as the wound healed. "Ask later" I told her and pulled her up, running again.

The men were following us now, catching up.

"You can't run forever" The voice of Kevin yelled into the forest.

I looked back and found myself staring at Kevins running body. He was closer than I accepted. Suddenly, Sookie screamed and I turned myself forward again, hitting into the body of the man who had taken me from the room. "Fuck" I swore as his hand hit my head and blackness swept over me.
