The next night Chloe was dreaming in her sleep. A dark green meadow, shining under the moonlight. He saw a man get out of his truck. But who was that standing right next to a tree, watching the event unfold?

Before she could see the rest, she woke up with Isabel and Stan's hurried voices, rushing outside the door as they left. "Shit" she said out loud. On top of everything that was going on, she had to find this mysterious setting in her dream so she could do what she was supposed to.

For about an hour she laid in her bed without moving, unable to sleep. She felt comatosed. It hadn't been a month since she lost her closest friend in the world, now Godric was missing. She should've never agreed to come to Dallas, or did what she did. This wasn't a part of her job, her nature. Getting involved with vampires certainly didn't help stop the mountain of corpses in her past from growing.

Around 4 am, Hugo knocked on her door:

"Sorry to wake you up Chloe".

"It's okay I wasn't asleep anyway".

"I got a call from Isabel, Godric is back".

Chloe sighed in relief. A huge weight lifted from her shoulders. Good. He was back. Now they would discuss what she was and what she have tried to show him. Hugo's voice brought her back to the conversation she was having.

"They are at the hotel that Eric is staying, and apparently Godric wanted you to get there as soon as possible.I'll write down the address for you and call a car".

Thirty minutes later Chloe found Isabel in front of the hotel. "I thought it'd be a better idea for me to take you upstairs...You wouldn't want to walk through a vampire hotel's reception by yourself with the way you smell" she said frowning.

"Oh that's very thoughtful of you" Chloe smiled, but Isabel kept frowning. "Is everything all right?" Chloe asked. "He is back right?".

Isabel nodded in sadness "He's expecting you on the roof" she managed to say as she started walking towards the grand entrance.

They took the elevator in silence. What the hell was going on? Why wasn't Isabel glad that Godric was back? A horrible feeling took her over. Did Godric tell them what she have done? Did they now blame her for his disappearance?

They got off at 13th floor, Chloe sheepishly following Isabel as they walked to the emergency stairs. "Take the stairs to the roof, we'll be in Eric's room right here". Isabel said.

Chloe stood and stared at her. All Isabel did was nod in sadness for her to go upstairs.

She pushed the heavy door and started taking the steps. Eric's voice, roaring once again as it did last night, grew louder and louder as she ascended. But this time she felt as though there was something else in there. Not only anger, but... also desperation.

Godric was standing by the edge of the roof, his head turned, looking at his progeny whom was on his knees. Tears of blood was streaming down his cheeks.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS! PLEASE!".

What the hell was going? Why where they... Then it dawned on her. It was almost time for sunset."Oh no" she thought, tears filling her eyes "Oh, no no no no!"

"I WON'T LET YOU!" Eric cried once again. Godric spoke softly to his son:

"I've done everything I was supposed to in this world. You can't keep me here even if you wanted to".

"THEN I WILL MEET THE SUN WITH YOU!"

Godric touched his head with love Chloe has never seen in him before. "You've got so much to live for little brother" he said and looked at Chloe for a second.

Eric cried in agony as he shook his head. "I WON'T! I WON'T LET YOU!"

Godric looked at his companion of a thousand years and spoke "As your master I command you to leave".

Eric's head fell in defeat. He got up and looked at his father, his master for once last time with tears in his eyes. He walked towards the stairs Chloe came up from and saw the woman's teary eyes.

"I'll stay with him" she said as he left.

Chloe walked towards Godric.

"You don't have to do this. Please" she begged him "I never meant it to be like this" she said as tears streamed down her face.

"You have nothing to regret" he said. "I've been thinking about this for a long time. But you..." he thought for a second "You have given me the best parting gift I could ever receive".

He looked at the horizon, now getting brighter by the minute.

"Finally I am done. I need nothing else. Content." he said and turned to Chloe "Who gets to say that as they leave this world?".

Chloe nodded. She didn't want to let him go, but this was his wish. And he seemed, all togetherly happy.

"What do you think it's like afterwards?" he asked.

Chloe stopped crying and tried to focus on their conversation that she knew to be their last. "Heaven or hell?" she asked back.

For a moment Godric looked like he was going to respond. Instead he shrugged and kept staring ahead.

"Like San Fransisco" Chloe answered.

"A city!" Godric smiled "Good. I was afraid it's be a garden... I hate that kind of stuff."

"Yes...a big city... Overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every corner a wrecking crew, and something new and crooked going up catty corner to that... Windows missing in every edifice like broken teeth...Fierce gusts of gritty wind...And a gray high sky full of ravens".

"Prophet birds" Godric said nodding. She continued.

"Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian... And big dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion. And all creatures morphed into one... Kind, race, taste, and history, finally overcome". She stopped for a moment "And you are there".

Godric thoughtfully looked ahead and asked "And heaven?".

Chloe smiled in this moment of farewell. "That was heaven Godric".

He turned his head towards her, the must genuine smile on his face "Of course it was". They stood there staring at each other's eyes. Chloe saw the same way Belize loved her, and she loved Godric for that.

Godric once again looked ahead as the sun rose in the sky. Opal blue flames took over him as Chloe started crying again.

"Hey Chloe" he spoke to her without moving. He seemed entirely free of pain. "Nothing is lost forever right?"

"Never" she answered.

A few minutes later Chloe walked down the stairs. She stumbled down as she closed the door to the staircase and collapsed on her knees. Sobbing uncontrollably. Fifth. This was her fifth loved one that have died in the last three years. She felt something in herself eroding. Oh this wasn't good. All this sadness and destruction would be the end of her. Her existence depended on her inner peace, the backlog of all things she needed to give. Numbness was her Antichrist. Desensitization would terminate her existence.

She looked up in tears and realized that Eric's door was ajar. She brought herself on to her feet, wiped her tears away and walked inside the room.

Eric was sitting on his bed. His cheeks red with the smeared tears of blood. He didn't look at her as he spoke "He's gone. I don't feel him anymore".

Chloe couldn't even imagine how he must've felt. She was falling into a dark despair yes, but this man spent a thousand years loving Godric. And now he was gone. He must've felt...miserable. She found herself feeling extremely protective towards the vampire she detested 24 hours ago.

She walked and stood in front of him.

He looked up to her with immense pain in his eyes. "Why? Why did he do this?".

Chloe couldn't help herself. There was no way that she would leave this hurting soul to be ruined in agony.

She took a step towards him and placed herself in between his legs. She stared deep into his blue-green eyes. "I am going to regret doing this" she though for a second. Then she placed his head to rest on her breasts and spoke:

"He's seen it all, he's seen the dark".

Eric looked up and stared at the beautiful woman that calmness was oozing out of.

"He's seen the brightness in one little spark".

Eric found himself unable to talk. Or think, Or do anything on his own accord. Chloe took his hand and slowly motioned him towards the bed.

"He's seen what he chose, and he's seen what he needed".

Now they were laying next to each other. Chloe once again placed his head on her torso, while Eric never stopped looking at her for a second.

"And that is enough, to want more would be greed".

He felt as if nothing existed in this world other than this bed they were on, or this moment they shared, or this woman he trusted right now with his every atom. Sleep was washing over him; but just as a child who wanted to hear the end of the fairytale told by his mother, Eric listened to Chloe's words.

"He's seen what there was, and he's seen what it means".

His eyes shut slowly and softly. Exhaustion took over; but before sleep could carry him to the most blissful rest he ever had, he heard the last words of Chloe.

"He's seen it all, there is no more to see".

Thank you so much for reading, reviewing and all your kind words. I wanted to give Godric a happy ending. One where he doesn't feel like he doesn't belong to this world, but feels completely at peace with himself. The poem that Chloe reads here is a song called "I've seen it all" by Björk. I hope you've enjoyed it. Cheers.
