Godric's Little Savior

Disclaimer: I don't own TB, though I wish I did. I just get to play with the characters lives.

Eric's p.o.v.

I could feel Godric come back from visiting Sookie, and let me say that he is none too pleased. I mean yeah, he kind of was, but his anger far out weighed that happiness. I had a feeling I knew why he was angered. He'd found out what had happened back in August, with Sookie and the were.

'I a dead man.'

"What's wrong master?" Pam asked, my child could sense that something was about to go down.

"I have a feeling Godric has learned of the incident that occurred this past August with the Stackhouse girl and the were," Pam can only nod. She knows of Godric's feelings for Sookie, even if my maker himself did not. Godric maybe wise in most aspects, but with his love for Sookie he was not.

"So leaving toward the club would be prudent for me I take it?" she would probably be fine. She hadn't been there, I had.

"Yes, that would be advisable Pam."

"See you at the club later Master," bit presumptuous if you asked me. My maker was pissed and she assumed I was going to live through the next few hours.

"Go Pam," I say as though I'm scolding a child when they've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. She nods and leaves me to deal with my angry maker. A moment later Godric bursts through the door and I'm thrown to my knees.

"Why in the hell didn't you tell me Sookie had been attacked by a were?" I knew it. Sookie had told him, but then again he'd gone to speak with her, I'd known it would come up sooner or later.

"Because I was able to rip the blasted thing to shreds, so I didn't think it all that important to tell you. Though if I'd have known it would anger you this much I'd have told you, but as I said I killed it, problem solved. It would have been a waist of time," his face darkened. Oh shit I just said something wrong, think Eric think; what could you have said that was wrong?

'It would have been a waist of time,' yep that would do it. It had been like saying that I didn't care if the girl had lived or not.

"Still you should have told me what happened, I asked you to tell me everything that happened while you watched Sookie in my stead," he still looked pissed," You're also acting as though Sookie's life means nothing. You do realize if she had died that night I'd have had your head, correct?"

"I hadn't meant it that way, she means quite a lot to you and intern her staying alive is important to me as well master," he looked slightly appeased by this. Most of his anger was that I hadn't told him what had happened just some of what Sookie had said in appreciation for me saving her, "I just happened to find her words of more interest than what had happened with the were."

"Yes to you I can see how what she said would seem more interesting than killing a were; but remember this if you don't tell me something like this happens again I will punish you," the look in his eyes said he was being honest. I wasn't about to challenge my master on if he meant it or not, "You were right though, she isn't a regular fifteen year old; she's too smart and observant, she understands more about our politics than most vampires I know."

"So she told you about swearing her fealty to me as her sheriff, and agreeing to one day use her gift for my area?" I'd been floored when she'd done that. Not weres did that, most vampires were hard pressed to do so, even with it being law. He nodded.

"To learn of this was shocking to say the least. You'd just told me her words had impressed you to some degree," my maker was right on that part. I'm hard to impress after so many years on this earth, I'd be shocked if anyone accomplished that anytime soon. Then again I know one person who could, and that is Sookie Stackhouse, "To garner something like that is hard to gain from you, and I told her as much too."

"I need to know, what do you want with her Godric? I know she will one day make an excellent vampire, she has the right temperament for it; but surly it must be more than that? More than the need to create another child?" I wanted to know what he planned in the future.

"I don't know what I want right now. All I know is that it feels right when I'm around her. When she hugged me earlier tonight I felt the happiest I have in years. I know I want her safe and by my side. You wouldn't happen to know what I speak of do you?"

"I may, but if you have yet to realize it yourself master I'm not inclined to tell. Your feelings are your own, and I'd rather you not yell at me for telling you something you would not agree with," I wasn't going to tell him. His feelings were his own to decipher, and his heart his own to give away.

"Thank you Eric, you've given me much to think on," and with that he was gone again. No doubt to watch Sookie as she slept.

When I arrive at the club I walk strait back to my office, Pam follows me.

"How did your talk with Godric go master?"

"Better than I had thought it would. I had been right; he'd found out from Sookie about the were that I'd killed, he was angry that I hadn't told him about it when he got back from Texas."

"So I take it he's gone back to watch her sleep as he normally does?" I nod and shoo her from my office. I had different reports to fill out for the queen, and didn't have a whole lot of time to get them done. I did this till close to dawn and went home to die.
