Thanks to everyone who reviewed on the last chapter! It's your reviews that encourage me to write so keep them up!:) Hope you all like this next chapter.


Once we arrived at Hotel Carmilla, Godric got me a room. Eventually we all went our separate ways and into our rooms. As I went into my room, I noticed how absolutely beautiful it was. It was all very dark though, but what else would you expect at a vampire hotel? I explored the room a bit and decided to get a shower. I was dirty and bloody. I stripped off all my clothes and put them in the bin. I turned on the shower and stepped in. The hot water felt so good against my skin. For me, showers are the place of thinking and decision making. Showers are always very calming and relaxing. I washed my hair and my body, concentrating on getting cleaned up. Once I finished washing myself, I just stood there under the hot water. I put my hands on the wall in front of me and dropped my head as the water rushed over me. It seemed like just yesterday I was hanging out with my friends, without a care in the world. Now I met this vampire who is set on meeting the sun and I have this weird attachment to him. For some reason I can't bare the thought of him dying. Then there is my parents, I haven't spoken to them in a day. They will kill me when I get home. My dad will ground me for the rest of my life. I sat there under the water for another 10 minutes before I finally decided to get out. I dried up and I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like I was glowing. My skin looked 100 times better. All of my acne was gone! Any scratches and bruises I had, are gone. I looked down at my leg where the glass was and it looks like it never happened. I am defiantly glad that I drank Godric's blood. Not only do I look a lot better, but I also feel so much better. I feel like I could run a marathon and win a boxing match. It was incredible. I put on the robe that they had and went into the bedroom. I was so exhausted and all I wanted to do was sleep. I climbed in the bed and it felt like heaven. I closed my eyes and before I knew it, I was asleep.


When I woke up I noticed that the windows were covered by some kind of shield. That must mean that it is day time. I got out of bed and looked for my phone. When I found it, I checked the time. 12:55 PM. Also I had a billion missed texts and calls from my parents. I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. I know that my parents are worried, but I need to stay here a little longer. I turned off my cell phone, because I know that my dad could get it tracked and I don't want them to know where I am at right now. Just then I heard a knock at my door. I went over and looked through the peep hole in the door and saw it was Sookie Stackhouse. I opened the door and smiled.

"Hey Sookie!"

"Well hey there Amelia! I assumed that you didn't have any clothes and so I stopped by to drop some off."

"You assumed correctly. Thanks a lot."

"Oh it's no problem." She handed me a bag that contained the clothes.

"So I'm guessing that leaving the hotel and shopping is out of the question. Do they have any stores or anything inside the hotel?"

"Yea they are pretty strict here and I think Bill mentioned that they do."

"Alrighty I'll check that out then. Thanks Sookie."

"Anytime." I watched as she walked away and then I went back into my room and changed into the clothes she gave me. It was a very yellow sun dress. You would never find something like this in my wardrobe and even if I did, I would never wear this around vampires. It's like asking to be the center of attention and to be bait. But, beggars can't be choosers. After changing I went down to the lobby and asked about any shops and they guy at the desk pointed me in the direction of. I found the shop and I picked out and outfit that I could change into for tonight. It was just then that I remembered that I didn't have any way to pay for this. I didn't have my credit cards or anything on me. I decided to ask if they could send the bill to my room and I would pay it tomorrow but the cashier told me that anything I want was already paid for. I wonder if that's just the hotel or if Godric did that. I then decided to get something to eat. I went over to the human bar and a guy placing the food on a table. I went over and I reached to pick up a box of dried cereal and as I did, my hands touched with the guy. I felt some kind of shock like electricity. I pulled back immediately and he did the same.

"I'm sorry about that." he mumbled. I got a good look at him. He was pretty cute. Tall with dark hair.

"It's all right." He nodded and went back to doing his work. I ended up going back to my room and eating the cereal and watching TV. Eventually it was 5:00 and I was hungry again. I looked at a menu they had and saw they had a list of human food. I decided to order from there. Less than 10 minutes later I heard a knock at my door. I looked in the hole and saw it was the same guy from earlier. I opened up the door.

"Hello there. Here is your food."

"Thanks!" I smiled at him and he gave me a nervous smile back, "are you nervous?" I asked.
He looked shocked for a second but quickly recovered.

"No, of course not." he gave me a forced smile. 'Of course I'm nervous. I work in a vampire hotel. I could be killed any minute here.' I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Okay well if you're so worried about the possibility of being killed, then why are you working here?" He looked very shocked then, his eyes widened and his mouth was open. 'How did she know what I was thinking? Play cool Barry.' I looked at him confused.

"What are you talking about? It's not like I read minds." He stood there and stared at me for a minute then said, "Enjoy your meal." and walked away very quickly.

"Wait! Barry!" I called after him. Well that was weird. I shrugged. Maybe working here has made him crazy. I went back into my room and ate my meal. I lounged around in my room a little bit longer before I decided to change and get ready. I was wearing black skinny jeans, black fashion high heeled boots, a dark purple cami, and a leather jacket. I still had my jewelry from earlier and I put that on. I fixed up my hair and by the time I was done, I saw that the sun had just set. It was just then that there was a knock at my door. I opened it up and saw Sookie and Bill.

"Hey Amelia." said Sookie.

"Amelia." Bill nodded at me respectively.

"Hello Sookie and Bill. What can I do for you?"

"Well there's going to be this big vampire meeting and since I saw you were with Godric, I figured that you should come. Right Bill?" She looked over at Bill.

"Of course." Bill replied. I nodded my head.

"Okay. Lead the way."


"Do you have any fucking idea of the PR mess you've made?" Nan Flanagan was here and she was not happy. She is noting like how she is on T.V., can't say I'm surprised though. "And who has to fucking clean that shit up? Me. Not you. Me. I should drain every one of you bastards."

"Stan went to the church on his own. None of us knew anything about it." I looked at Eric as he said this.

"Oh really? Because everyone who met Stan in the last 300 years knew he had a kink about slaughtering humans, but you his nest mates, his sheriff, had no clue." Nan shot back.

"And how were we supposed to know that this time he meant it?" Isobel asked.

"Not my problem. Yours." Nan said as she looked at Godric.

"Don't talk to him that way." Eric defended Godric.

"Don't talk to me that way. Lets get to the point. How did they manage to abduct you?" Nan asked Godric.

"They would of taken anyone of us sooner or later. I offered myself." Eric looked up at Godric when he said that. i couldn't help but look at Godric sadly. All I wanted to do was go over to him and hug him.

"Why?" Nan looked at him incredulously.

"Why not?" Godric replied back.

"They wanted you to meet the sun and you were willing?"

"What do you think?" Everyone was looking at Godric now. Eric looked emotionless.

"I think you're out of your mind. And then I hear about a traitor?"

"Irrelevant. Only a rumor. I'll take full responsibility." Godric said.

"You bet you will."

"You cold bitch." Eric said calmly.

"Listen, this is a national vampire disaster and nobody at the top has any sympathy for any of you. Sheriff you fucked up, you're fired." Godric nodded his head.

"I agree. Of course Isobel should take over, she had no part in my disgrace." he replied.

"Godric, fight back." Isobel said.

"She's a bureaucrat! You don't have to take shit from her!" Eric said with anger.

"You want to loose your area viking?" Nan asked Eric.

"You don't have that kind of power." He shot back.

"Hey, I'm on TV. Try me."

"I'm to blame. I should of contained Stan the moment Godric went missing." Isobel started.

"Isobel," Godric interrupted her, "I remove myself from all positions of authority."

"Works for me." Nan said. All the sudden, Sookie started moving.

"Sookie." Bill said, trying to hold her back.

"I owe him." I heard Sookie whisper. "Ms. Flanagan. Godric rescued me from a large rapist. Who probably would of killed me too."

"That's nice. Moving on." Nan interrupted.

"No. Listen. He rescued humans in that church plus a whole lot of vampires. You think it's a PR mess now? It could have been a hundred, a million times worse. You should thank him."

"For getting kidnapped? For attracting a suicide bomber? For piss poor judgement? I think.." that's when Eric got up and growled. He looked beyond mad.

"Don't!" Isobel said and stood up to hold him back.

"Eric. Doesn't matter." Godric said. Eric and Isobel sat back down.

"Tell me about the bombing please. Every single detail." Nan said.

"A boy walked in the lair. I thought he was someones human companion..." Godric continued to tell the story of what happened. I looked over and saw Isobel looking sad, Eric mad, Sookie and Bill were holding hands and Sookie looked sad while Bill was indifferent. Sookie was brave to stand up for Godric. I would love to put that Nan Flanagan in her place but I am only human and all I would do is embarrass myself and perhaps get myself killed. Humans are not intimidating to them. I looked at Godric as he spoke. He just looked so sad and helpless. Like he has given up and all hope is lost. It makes me sad to see him like this. I gave him something to think about when we were in the basement of the fellowship but I don't know if it was enough. If he decides to meet the sun, what can I do? I can beg and try to remind of why he should stay, but that probably won't do much. If I could just have a few weeks...then maybe I could show him what's worth living for. In the end though, it is his decision.

"What a fucking fiasco," I was broken out of my thoughts by Nan talking. "You're lucky I don't send you all to the magister. Godric come to my suite and fill out the forms."

"Soon,' Godric replied, "First I have something to say. I'm sorry. I apologize for all the harm I've caused, all our lost ones, human and vampire. I will make amends. I swear it." The whole room got so serious and quiet.

"Take it easy, it's just a few signatures." Nan said as she patted him on the shoulder. It was then that Nan and her possy left the room. The rest of us all stood up and Godric started to follow where Nan was going when Eric stood in front of him. I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying. Godric left the room and it was then that Bill decided to confront Eric.

"We have a score to settle." Bill said. This pissed me off more than anything. It is obvious that Godric has the intention to meet the sun. Eric is in distress, that is his maker. Yet Bill, decides now is the perfect time to confront Eric? That little bitch. I glared at Bill.

"Not now." Eric said. By the look on Eric's face you could see that he was in shock.

"Yes now." Just then Bill punched Eric. My eyes widened in surprise then shrunk in anger. Eric turned around slowly.

"Have I made my point?" Bill said. I walked over to him and before Eric could reply I said,

"Back off Bill. Now."

"This doesn't concern you." I glared and then I punched Bill with all my strength. Godric's blood defiantly made me stronger because when Bill looked back at me I saw his nose was broken and bleeding.

"BILL!" Sookie shouted.

"Have I made MY point? If you knew what was good for you, you would back the fuck off." I said between clenched teeth. I was upset because of Godric and although I may not know Eric, that is Godrics child and I can't imagine what Eric is feeling right now. He doesn't need Bill's bullshit. Eric was still numb and emotionless but for a second his eyes flashed with shock and gratitude.

"Get out of the way." Eric told Bill. Bill complied. I walked behind Eric and followed him out.


We were on the roof now. The sun would be rising in about 15 minutes.

"Two thousand years is enough." Eric was unbelieving.

"I can't accept this. It's insanity!"

"But we are here!"

"It's not right. We're not right."

Eric stepped forward. "You taught me there was no right or wrong. Only survival or death."

"I told a lie, as it turns out."

"I will keep you alive by force!"

"Even if you could, why would you be so cruel?"

Eric started crying and speaing in another language. Swedish if I am correct.

"Let me go." Godric said. He put his hand on Eric's shoulder. I wanted to run over to him so bad but I knew they needed to have their moment. Eric stops crying then.

"I won't let you die alone."

"Yes, you will." Eric gets to his feet then. "As your maker. I command you."
Eric walks to the stairs and I reach for him and he turns to me.

"I'll stay with him. As long as it takes." he nodded and left down the stairs. I started walking over towards Godric.

"It won't take long. Not at my age." I kept walking without saying anything until I was right next to him. He was looking out at the sky and I slipped my hand into his. He looked at me then. He was looking at me but I wasn't looking at him as I spoke.

"I could stand here and beg. I could give you a million reasons on why you shouldn't do this, but it won't change anything will it? After everything we talked about in the fellowship, I was hoping you would change your mind. But if that didn't do anything, and if Eric couldn't change your mind. Then nothing will." It was then that I decided to turn and look at him. I grabbed his other hand and we stood facing each other.

"Whether you believe it or not Godric, you are an amazing man. You have done many terrible things..things that I probably couldn't even imagine, but that was your past. It is not who you are anymore. You think that by burning you will redeem yourself? There are other ways to do it. Live on, be there for Eric, set an example for vampires everywhere. Show humans that they have nothing to fear. You are so old Godric, you are respected. Vampires will have no choice but to listen. You could make a huge difference if you wanted to." It was then that I noticed that I was crying.

"A human with me at the end, and human tears. Two thousand years and I can still be surprised. In this, I see God." He smiled at me and brushed away my tears with one of his hands.

"Godric please. Don't do this. Give me a year. One year to show you what is worth living for. One year is nothing to a vampire! It is like a week to a human. Please. One year and if you still feel the same, then I will not stop you from meeting the sun. You are no longer sheriff. You can spend time with your child, do things you've never done before, travel. There are so many things you can do. Just give me a year and I will show you. Please." Godric looked very conflicted. I noticed then that smoke was starting to rise up off of him. He looked over at where the sun will be rising and he looked back at me.

"One year."

"That's all I ask."


Soo? What did you guys think? Please review! I think this is my longest chapter yet! I just couldn't have Godric die! I love him to much, even though he is a pain in the ass to write. Let me know what you guys think:)
