Hey guys, here is the new chapter where Anne and Godric are finally going to talk to eachother, let me kow what you think!
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"Godric"
"yes"
"ummm..."
"yes?"
"Can I get up now?"
"of course"
Anne slowly pulled away from Godric and out of his lap. He stayed rested with his back against the wall; letting her make each move. Anne scooted along side him on the wall until they sat shoulder to shoulder. Godric reached his right hand over and entwined his fingers with her left hand, and she let him.
"You never answered my question?" Anne said, breaking the silence.
"Which one? You asked many?" came the reply.
Anne trembled. His voice was so smooth and calming; it almost made her forget what he was. Almost.
"Why did you attack us? I mean," she faltered "the Fellowship of the Sun?" Anne asked. Nice save, Anne. Way to get on the vampire's good side.
Godric took an unnecessary breath. "I did not attack you, Anne. Nor did I attack the Fellowship of the Sun." She looked surprised. This worried him.
"If you ddn't attack the Fellowship of the Sun, then why are you locked up in the church basement? What'd you do? Walk up to the church doors and say 'Hi, I'm a vampire, can I come in?' " I laughed at my pathetic joke.
"That is exactly what I did."
Anne stopped laughing. Godric continued.
"No exactly how it happened, but I offered myself." Godric explained. "There was never an attack on this church. If there had been, I am sure you would have heard from the news. Something like that could not have been hidden from the public eye." He was slowly caressing her hand with his fingers, drawing small circles on the back her hand. She trembled yet again.
That did make sense. Anne thought. But why would Gabe lie to me? Why would Steve lie to me?
"What are you thinking, little one?" He brought her hand up to his lips and gave it a small kiss.
Anne looked up at Godric as he kissed her hand. Her eyes met his. She wanted lean in and give into the desire to kiss him again, but something else pressed against the back of her mind "If what you say is true, why would the Fellowship make up some lie about an attack?"
Great job, Anne. Ask the vampire that has been locked away for answers you should know
"Probably to hide what they are really doing." Godric cast his eyes to the ground. He couldn't look at her. Anne was not going to take this well.
"And what exactly are they doing?" Anne snapped. She was a teenager after all and getting real fed up with not knowing the truth.
"Buliding an army for war." Godric answered quietly.
"THAT IS NOT TRUE! STEVE WOULD DO NO SUCH THING!!!" Anne was angry, more than angry. Livid. She ripped her hand away from his and stood up learing over him. How dare he make such an accusation! Who does he think he is!? Just because he is a vampire doesn't give him lineance to say such things.
"By Steve I assume you are referring to Reverend Newlin." Anne nodded. "They have been growing and building an army of men for months. Our spies have confermed it. Have you not noticed Anne?"
"You're lying!" she spat at him.
"Why would I lie to you Anne?"
"It can't be true." She whispered again. How could Steve lie to me? Anne thought of the past few months. Sure, Steve had been gone a lot, but she always assumed that he was busy here at the church. Steve had always been more active in the church than her, especially since their father's death. Why would her resort to violence? It would explain all the random guys that flow in and out of the house... but was she really that oblivious?
"It's not true!" Anne said coldly. "Why would you offer yourself to an organization that hates you. If we were building an army against the vampires, shouldn't you be afraid?!" yeah right, Anne. He could break you like a twig. Anne wasn't sure where this spurt of courage was coming from but she was not about to deny it. She had to stand her ground.
"We?" Godric asked.
"What?" Anne said. She looked down at him as he sat on the floor. The whole time she had been yelling at him he had stayed on the floor just looking at her with those sad eyes. His face held no emotion, there was nothing but a blank stare if she looked hard enough she could probably see herself reflected in his eyes. He seemed so calm and collected. Her anger seemed to be falling away. Was he doing that? Some vampire thing?
Anne realized that he had said something, but she couldn't recall what it was.
"What did you just say?" she asked him.
"You said 'we'.
"I did?" shit!
"You are a member of the Fellowship of the Sun." It wasn't a question. To Godric, it was fact.
"Not officially. I always assumed I would join someday when my brother thought I was ready. I haven't given it much thought." she stated plainly. Why beat around the bush, Anne thought.
"Your brother?" Godric asked.
"Yes, he is... an active member."
She is hiding something. She turned her back and started walking away from him. He was starting to think she would leave again, when she swiftly turned around startling him.
"Godric?"
"yes, Anne"
Anne stared into Godric's eyes. "Please answer my question, why did you offer yourself?"
"They would have taken one of us eventually. I thought that by offering myself, humans would understand that not all vampires are violent beasts. That we can co-exsist, that no one needs to die for there to be peace between us. I was hoping to speak with the dear Reverand on that note, but I have not left this room for days."
"Days?" but I only found out yesterday
"I assume days, it is hard to have a real perception of time."
"But don't vampires sleep all day? That should tell you at least an estimate, right?"
"Anne, I much older than I look. I do not feel the urge to sleep like others, I hardly feed anymore as well. The only threat to my exsistance as of now would have been to meet the sun."
"Godric, they could kill you." Anne said. Had she really just said that? Was Steve capable of taking a life?
"I know, Anne"
"Are you that ready to die?" Anne could feel tears proding in her eyes again. But she would not let them fall, she had to be strong.
"I have lived for two thousand years Anne." Anne gasped in shock. He did say he was older.
"I thought I had seen everything that this world had to offer. If I could provide a way for this 'war' to be avoided, I would have gladly forfeit my life."
"You think that by sacrificing yourself, you can eliminate war? Anne's voice was rising again, but this time not in anger, but with compassion. "From what I know about vampires, you are a rare find. Why would you want to leave this world when it needs people like you?" She turned her back to him again.
"Anne, look at me"
She didn't move.
Godric slowly stood up and walked over to her/ He put his hads on her shoulders and softly turned her to face him. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears. He hadn't wanted to hurt her, only be honest.
"Anne, look at me."
"I can't" Anne whispered.
"Why not?"
"Anne...." Godric said.
"yes?" finally she's responding, Godric thought.
"I was only trying to do what was best for my kind"
Anne let out a sigh. "I know"
"I do not wish to die....not anymore." Godric stated
"Why?" she whispered.
Godric put his cool hand under her chin and lifter her face up to meet his. "You have awakened something in me that I thought died with my humanity." With that he leaned down to her ear and whispered one word.
"Love"
He pulled away, brushing his cheek against hers, lingering for a moment to feel her pedal soft skin.
"You have to believe me" he said firmly. It wasn't a request. He had to make her understand.
"That's just the problem...I do"
With that, Anne grabbed the front of Godric's shirt and pulled his lips down to hers.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Anne's mind was reeling. She had never been kissed like this. So much passion with just a hint of lust. She never wanted it to end. Godric's hands were moving all along her body finally settling with one on her hip and the other tangling in her long brown hair. Anne moaned into Godric's mouth as he pressed himself against her, slowly inching her back against the wall.
Godric released Anne's mouth and trailed kisses down over her face and down to her throat where he accidently slid a fang across her sensitive skin. It wasn't long before Anne tensed up; she was scared.
"I won't do it, not until you want me to" And you will want me to.
She seemed to relax slightly and allowed him to continue his exploration of her neck.
As soon as her back hit the wall, Godric hoisted Anne's legs up around his waist and pressed himself into her hips, showing her how much he wanted her. Anne moaned into his ear. This is going too fast, but can't stop, feels so good.....
"Godric...." Anne was moaning his name, music to his ears.
Anne's hands were digging into Godric's shirt, scratching, pulling. He leaned down and kissed her again all the while keeping his groin pushed up into her. Anne felt his tongue slid into her mouth and she gladly accepted it. She was worried about his fangs, but they didnt prove to be as much of a problem as she thought.
She felt Godric grab her hand in his and put an arm over her head and another was creeping up the bottom of her shirt. The cool skin of his hand against her heated flesh brought goosebumps to her skin. She whimpered.
Two can play at this game. She thought. She brought her other hand to his face, caressing it softly and pulling out of the kiss and resting her forehead against his.
Anne opened her eyes to find Godric staring at her, his mouth parted and two fangs hanging over his bottom lip. If she wasn't so turned on she would have been scared. She moved her head back and brought her hand to his mouth and ran a finger down the length of a fang.
Godric closed his eyes. It was an odd sensation. A vampire's teeth are one of the most sensitive areas of their bodies and she was willingly touching them. He opened his eyes again to see her smiling. Godric leaned in to give her another kiss, when he heard it. Someone was coming! If Anne was found, who knows what the consequences would be for her!!!
"Anne, as much as I would love to continue, you must leave, now!"
She looked hurt, but she broke away from him without hesitation. And started walking towards the door. He couldn't let her leave like this.
"Please Anne, someone is coming..." That seemed to get her attention. She grabed her keys and headed for the door.
"Anne" Godic called out to her.
She turned.
"We will meet again." He gave her a reassuring smile.
Anne opened the door, "Hope so..."
And then she was gone.
She didn't lock the door.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Anne hurried up the stairs until finally she came to the door. Turning the knob, she silently prayed there was no one on the other side.
She cracked the door opened and was surprised, yet relieved, that no one was there to greet her. She slipped through the door and quietly shut it behind her.
Well, that was easy enough.
That is until she walked around the corner and ran into a very large and hard object.
Anne fell to the ground and looked up in horror as she saw Gabe smirking down at her.
"Welcome back you little fangbaning whore!"
Gabe pulled her up by her arm and through her over his shoulder.
"Someone is very anxious to talk to you." She said cooly as Anne struggled and beat his back.
She was not going down without a fight. How dare he call her a whore! They had only slightly made out, but that wasn't the point! Anne was pissed. She was tired of being treated like a child, of being lied to, of being forgotten.
Godric had proved that she meant something; had shown her what her life could be like. Shown her what was right in front of her face.
Anne was ripped out of her thoughts as she was dropped into a chair.
"Well hey there, little sister. Heard you made a real big discovery."
Steve.....
