Godric quickly like the speed of light darted Sookie up the stairs an into the room that he had just purchased for the evening. He shut and locked the door and sat Sookie down. He watched her quickly shove her clothes back on. All the while watching and trying to hide herself from him.

"What is the matter with you? What happened down there?"

"I...I thought I heard something in the alley, behind the dumpster. I got scared is all. I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you...or scare you for that matter."

He gave Sookie a very hard and narrowed look, before bursting out in pure laughter. He hadn't laughed this hard in a milleni. This girl was too naïve for her own good, but her liked it, it added to her appeal and charm she had on him.

"Sookie?" Godric managed to spit out between laughs.

"Yes? What is so funny why are you laughing at me?"

"First, do you think I would have left you there if there was someone else in that alley who could cause you harm? The only creature in the alley was a sleeping begger. He was too far unconscious to wake up anytime soon to bother you. I would have been back shortly. In fact..." He looked up at the ceiling pretending to be in deep thought. "I was gone for a total of thirty seconds, I would have been back sooner but unfortunately the boy at the front desk was taking his precious time. I would have killed him had there not been others around to see me. Then second, I can not be scared so easily Sookie. I have been around for far too long, I have seen much of everything and I can't find myself getting surprised like I use to."

"Really? How long exactly have you been around for?"

"A little over two thousands years."

Godric answered her as if anybody could tell someone that they had been living for two thousand years. As if he was one of many who had walked the earth for that long. She watched him walk to the bathroom and come back with a wet rag. Her mouth was so far open someone could have driven a train through it. Godric stared back at her and raised an eyebrow. Sookie closed her mouth and regained her composure. She turned her back to him and looked at the over sized circular bed laying in front of them. She marveled at the pillows. They were huge and there were so many of them. Godric grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the bed. He turned her around to face him.

"Sookie come, I wish to look you over."

"I'm fine. I just want to take a shower and cuddle with you in this bed."

She turned back to the bed and gestured for Godric to look at it. It didn't catch his attention like it did hers. He smiled at her innocence and grabbed her hand, re-pulling her back to him.

"Sookie please, I only wish to make sure that they didn't...get to you."

"Godric I would know if they did."

Godric narrowed his gaze on her. They both caught the uncertainty in her voice. Now that her mind was no longer infested with memories and thoughts of horny rapists she could coherently think...and feel. And she could feel the pain emerging from between her legs. It was a hot, sensation. Like someone was breathing on her down there, but the hot feeling only got hotter. She squeezed her legs together and cried out. Godric caught her as her knees buckled and she gave way, heading for the floor. He laid her on the bed. She was biting her lip to help endure the pain. But all that did was draw blood from her bottom lip and worry Godric more. He bent down and kissed her licking the blood from her lips.

"Sookie I need to look at you down there. I need to see how much damage was done."

Sookie shook her head violently. No way was she going to let him look at he down there. That was hers. Even though she had already made love to him, she didn't feel comfortable with him looking at all of her body parts and examining them.

"No, thats too embarrassing Godric."

"Sookie please."

She sat up on her arms and looked at him, ready to shove him away from her, but then she saw his eyes. There were so much concern and compassion in them. She felt bad, he was really worried about her. She didn't want him to feel like this was his fault because it had nothing to do with him. In fact she felt as if she was being a burden for him. Who the hell wants to save a damsel in distress all of the time for one. And second, of all the girls Godric could have, why her. Why did he waist his time with her. She gave in to him and fell back on her back again, letting out a large sigh.

"Alright just please get it over with."

Sookie pulled her skirt and her panties down her legs and to her ankles. There Godric finished by pulling them gently off and tossing them somewhere near the side of the bed. She cringed as Godric pulled her legs apart and she felt the pain come back full force again. Godric had had some of her blood so he could feel what she felt and it was bothering him. Infuriating him in fact, because the only way he could make her pain go away was by giving her his blood. And he didn't know if she would take it or not. He hoped she would because as he dropped to his knees and opened her legs he saw that amount of damage that had been done to her. Those boys hadn't gotten their puny cocks into her completely but in their haste to get her to submit they ended up ripping her a little. The rip came from under her, near her bottom and it rose up to her opening. It wasn't minor, big enough to cause an infection later and lots of pain in between. She would need to take his blood to prevent both. He rubbed the inside of her leg to try and soothe her. It seemed to relax her a bit. He closed her legs and rose up. He reached out and pulled her to a sitting position that she cringed under as she found it to be very painful. She sat back on her hands to relieve some of the pressure on her bottom. She looked at Godric blushing wildly as she came to terms with the fact that he had just been thoroughly observing her most private places. He kneeled down on his hunches and looked Sookie in the eyes.

"Sookie, sweetheart, I need you to take some of my blood. Can you do that for me?"

"Why?"

"I don't want you to get sick down there. I could only imagine how painful that would be for you. You would just need to do this once and then you'll never have to again if you don't wish to."

"It only takes one time though right?"

Godric watched Sookie, bewilderment flashing through his eyes. Did she really know of the side effects that the blood would give her. Surely she didn't know about everything. He stood back up and then sat next to her.

"What all do you know?" He asked quietly.

"That the blood creates a bond, and through that bond you can feel me."

"Feel what exactly?"

Godric interrupted moving his mouth to her neck slowly, as if she were prey.. She gulped when his fangs were only inches from her neck. She pushed her shoulder up, nudging his face away from her neck.

"You would be able to feel what I felt?"

Godric straightened up to address her uncertainty. He studied her first.

"Yes but that is not all. Do you know the rest?"

She shook her head slowly after pondering over his question. He smiled, he was right. She didn't know everything there was to know. He grabbed her hand and pulled it up to his lips, kissing the back of her fingertips softly. His eyes were closed and he was taking his time telling her. This was information he had never in his two thousand years ever told a human. It was information that vampires didn't pass over to the mortals lightly. He sighed. The problem didn't lie in telling her, but rather, what she would think about it all. That was something that scared him greatly. Humans were very unpredictable. He was sure that this one was no different.

"You will feel some of my emotions as well, the ones that I allow you to feel."

"What? Will you be able to feel all of mine?"

"Yes."

"Thats not fair. I want to feel all of yours as well."

"I'd prefer you not to."

"Why not?"

"Because I have never shared my feelings with anyone before. Not even Eric. It would be hard for me to share every feeling that I have with you, when I have not with him. It would be...insulting to him."

"What do you mean? What exactly is Eric to you?" Sookie asked tentatively.

"Eric is my child. I am his maker."

Sookie stared at him in bewilderment. Eric was so much older than him. She would have imagined Godric turning others who looked to be more his age, physically.

"I didn't know that." She whispered in response.

"I know." Godric whispered sarcastically as Sookie shoved him.

"But that isn't fair, you can't ask me to give you my blood then. If I have no choice but for you to feel everything that I feel and you have a choice over certain feelings that I get to feel from you, then it means I would be giving up to you more than you have earned."

Godric cocked an eyebrow up and gave her a slight smirk. He was sure that that was quiet a mouthful for her.

"Well someone is certainly trying to act well reserved. I mean you only just gave up your virginity the first night, after only minutes of speaking with me. What would a little blood hurt."

He was trying to be funny again. Sookie found no humor in his comment. Instead she felt insulted. How could he use that against her like that. That definitely wasn't fair. He noticed the sudden hurt flash through her eyes.

"Sookie I didn't mean..."

"No just shut up."

She stood up and used a pillow to hid her behind from Godric. He couldn't help but smile at this, despite Sookie's current feelings. She really didn't have any idea how adorable she was. He quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her to him and sitting her on his lap before she had time to grab her clothes. Unfortunately the pillow came with her and he had to pry from under her and toss it back on the bed. He laid her back against his chest, ignoring her struggling and her pleas to let her go. She eventually gave in and allowed him to rest her head on his shoulder. Then he began to brush the hair from her disgruntled face and behind her ear.

"Sookie please don't be mad. I didn't mean it like that..."

"GODRIC LET ME FUCKIN GO."

She began to thrash violently was really angry. He didn't know she was so sensitive. It irritated him but he didn't do anything about it until she hit him in the face and through him back. He hadn't expected that. She tried standing from the bed but he was faster, and a bit angrier now then before. He grabbed her arm and yanked her frail body back to the bed. He had her on her back and under him before she could even blink.

"May I remind you not to anger me."

Sookie could see the fierceness in his eyes. She had upset him greatly. She meant to though and she was not about to apologize. Not just yet anyway.

"I'm not easy you stupid jerk."

He leaned in closer to her face with a serious gleam in his eyes. He was daring her to pick a battle with him.

"I never said you were, but now that I think about it, you were very easy."

The tears welled up in her eyes and she felt her heart shattering. How could he? Godric watched as she began crying. His gaze softened and he realized the depth of his mistake. He had gotten out of line.

"Sookie?" He whispered softly.

He moved to lay beside her and pulled her to him. Lying on her side with her face buried in his chest her cries slowly began to dissipate.

"How can you be so cruel?" She whispered. "I had sex with you because your the only one I've ever felt normal with. I don't hear your thoughts and it was nice for once. To be able to kiss a boy without his perverse thoughts invading my mind. It was wonderful. You were wonderful. At least I thought you were."

"Sookie what do you mean? What are you talking about?"

Sookie sighed ignoring his questions.

"Sookie? You can hear thoughts?"

She nodded against his chest and he raised her face to look at him.

"You can't hear me?"

"No, thats what I said wasn't it."

He smiled at the sharpness in her voice. He deserved that so he let it go.

"Why didn't you say anything before now?"

"I didn't want to scare you away from me. I was happy with you thinking that I was normal."

"Sookie I would not have thought that you were anything but normal regardless. I'm a vampire, hearing the thoughts of others can hardly compare with that on the unusual scale."

Sookie laughed and he felt himself warm on the inside where his heart should have been beating, were he human.

"There is nothing wrong with that. I find it to be...very interesting. But I feel no different about you. What I find to be most disturbing is the fact you having sex, was a little more hasty than I thought. Because you couldn't hear my thoughts, you thought that you were ready for sex? Sweetheart you weren't ready, I now know. And that bothers me greatly."

"Well, I had it, and I had it with you. So please, get the hell over it and stop making me feel so horrible about it."

Godric stared down at her. He really had to work on his emotional skills. He forgets how sensitive she is. He sighed and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"I did enjoy our love making though."

Sookie smiled, and again Godric was warmed.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you like I did Godric. You didn't deserve that."

"Shhh...what are you doing apologizing to me. I should be the one who's sorry. You deserve more respect than what I gave you."

Sookie reached up and kissed his lips. When she pulled away he pulled her back to him and gave her a deeper kiss. She moaned into him but Godric jumped back as when he realized that it was a pained moan.

"Are you alright?"

"No, I'm kind of sore down there still?"

She sat up and grabbed her skirt pulling it back on. Godric knew that it was just to hide herself from him as she left her underwear lying on the floor.

"Will you take my blood Sookie sweetheart?"

She looked up at him and gave him a soft smile.

"No, I just need to feel human for once okay."

He returned her smile, as much as he respected that he knew that she was only saying it because she had a point and she wanted to prove it. 'If she wasn't good enough to know what he felt at all times, then he wasn't good enough to feel what she felt.' It filled him with a sense of astonishment, to see her so strong, so full of pride and courage. But at the same time he was filled with pain, because she was going to suffer through the night, and it was all at his cost.
