Disclaimer:I unfortunately don't own eric, Godric, or trueblood however Annabella and most of her family belong to me.

Godric chuckled at his childe who at the moment was staring at the bathroom door so intently he would be surprised if it didn't burst into flames. "Patience my childe she will come to us."

He then frowned his brows slightly. "Be weary i believe she might have been abused by her uncle." Eric's eyes snapped over to Godric's the look on their faces both murderous fangs clicking into place.

"The one she mention kidnapped her?" Godric nodded a solemn look taking over his face. "She has mentioned that she found none physically attractive in the past and yet she does not have the spice of virtue in her scent. We will tread carefully."

Eric growled darkly. "Her uncle.." Godric cut him off a dark chuckle escaping his lips. "Is already gone i caught him attempting to rape miss Stackhouse before snapping his neck, If what i believe happened to our söta is true then i would have wished to keep him alive longer." Eric growled before chunking a vase across the room making it shatter against the wall.

Annabelle who heard the noise from in the bathroom hollered out. "Is everythin' ok in there." Eric relaxed from hearing her voice and Godric responded. "Everything is fine min söta." They heard her mumble out "Yea sure it is, ain't like shits breakin' in there or anythin''."

Godric chuckled shaking his head lightly before Eric and he locked eyes. "What tipped you off?" Eric asked poster stiff. "In the church she mentioned her uncle gets lonely and that's why he kiddnapps her. Her emotions were blank when she mentioned this, she felt nothing at all just a blank slate i believe she's suppressing memories."

Eric growled. "Jag ska döda dem alla."

A fond chuckle escaped Godric's lips. "She would be most upset if you did. Come my childe let's change, vår ängel will be out soon then we must hurry through this meeting." he paused for half a second before chuckling, "I will be accompanying you and annabelle back to Shreveport."

Eric looked quite please by this and gave his maker a knowing smirk in return that Godric simply shook his head at. "She's actually think i'll allow her to go anywhere near that woman."

Eric shook his head as if the thought alone was something to laugh at. "Don't let her hear you say that my childe." Godric shot his prodigy an unamused look that Eric pouted at before they swift got dressed at vampire speed.

Both their heads snapped up when the water from the shower turned off and a gentle humming from the bathroom along with the distinct sound of clothes rustling let them know annabelle was almost done.

They heard a sigh followed by grumbling before Annabelle opened the door and walked out. Bright blue eyes looked from the ground and up towards them causing both of them to widen their eyes.

The black dress hugged her curves beautifully showing off her large bust before flaring out around her hip area. The dress itself ended mid thigh and black wedges put her at 5'7. Her hair was currently surrounding her in a damp wave.

Annabelle shifted uncomfortably under their wide eyed looks. "Are uhh y'all ready ta go?" her nervous twitches continued until Godric cleared his throat and poked Eric quickly in the side. "Yes min söta we are…...ready….." Godric trailed off as he stopped and just stared at her again.

Her eyes quickly took them both in and a blush slowly took over her face as they both continued to stare at her so intently. She quickly make her way to the door when a gentle knock sounded through the room. She answered it and shot Isabel a strained smile that the hispanic woman frowned at.

"Nan is ready for us." Annabelle nodded and walked out the room Eric and Godric following closely behind the two women.

"What is their problem?" Isabel whispered gently to annabelle who blushed brightly. "I-i Don't know they just been like this since i walked outta tha bathroom." Isabel looked over annabelle swiftly then at the two's dumbstruck expressions.

Understanding come over her face before she chuckled. "It's ok niña this reaction is normal for mated males." Annabelle shot a cautious glance at the two dumbstruck men behind her before clearing her throat and nodding. "I-if you're so sure."

Eric shook his head slightly before sighing. He felt like an over hormonal teenage boy again. He glanced at Godric from the corner over his eye watching his maker watch their mates hips sway in that little black dress.

His maker was acting like the over hormonal teenage boy he had been when he died. He would have to remember to thank Pamela for the outfit later. He gently nudged his maker and Godric snapped his head away from Annabelle to glare at him childe.

"We need to be on guard." Eric spoke smoothly in ancient swedish making Godric nod in understanding. "Her outfit." Godric hissed in the same language making Eric chuckle.

"I know." he mumbled back before transferring over to English to address their mate. "When we are inside just ignore Nan she tends to be bitchy, trying to hold power over us she doesn't possess."

Annabelle's lips twitched up in slight amusement before she turned and smiled at him. "Alright." they fell into silence as they entered the room Nan already sat in a chair glaring at them. Godric sat on one side of Annabelle while Eric sat on the other isabel sat silently beside Godric the room descended into silence while they waited for Sookie and Bill.

When they arrived nan just snapped and started into all of them about what happened. "What happened?" Godric shrugged lightly and broke down the events for her at that point Nan was beyond pissed.

"I should stake you all for you idiocy." she snarled and Annabelle snorted at her drawing her attention. "What?" she snarled and Annabelle shrugged lightly.

"I was just thinkin' 'bout how it could've been twenty times worse if tha bomb had went off an' Godric wasn't there ta control the situation, he took tha proper measures as sheriff." Nan fell silent while the others stared at her in shock or in Godric and Eric's case amusement.

Nan cleared her throat bitched more than left. Annabelle stood at the same time Sookie did. Both women began blabbing on like hens; Bill looked slightly annoyed by them while Godric and Eric were talking with Isabel to make arrangements for her taking over as sheriff.

"Oh I work at Merlettes during the week but I might be able ta talk Sam inta lettin' me off on tha weekend I could show ya around." Sookie giggled and Annabelle shook her head at the girl. She had told her about Eric wanting her to be his bartender and she had taken that as she was going.

"That would be nice it'll be good for me ta hang out with other women." Annabelle mumbled not having the heart to tell the other southern belle she might not come. "Yea it would be nice ta have another female around that understands all this." Sookie gestured around and Annabelle released a slight giggle.

"It's truly that lonely?" she questioned and Sookie huffed. "Bills always reporting' ta eric and I ain't got nobody ta talk ta while we're there." she shook her head and continued.

"Plus while I work during the day it's nice ta get out an' have fun on the weekends during tha day but most of friends are mad 'cause of Bill so it'll be nice ta have someone that doesn't judge me for who I'm datin'." Sookie looked away and Annabelle smiled slightly giving the women a quick huge and she and Sookie rolled their eyes at the looks the vampires shot them.

"Don't worry I ain't one ta judge an' it honestly sounds like ya need new friends." Sookie smiled sadly but nodded in agreement bill walked over and Sookie left while annabelle just plopped down beside Godric who was discussing with isabel his transfer to Eric's area.

"I don't know if the king will go for this." Isabel signed out and Godric chuckled slightly. "I would like to see him try and stop me." Isabel just shook her head. "Would you like me to tell him it's not a request?" Godric nodded and Eric released a slight chuckled.

Isabel stood and thanked Godric for his service as her sheriff and Godric also stood. They shook hands a show of trust in the vampire world. Annabelle stood and smiled at isabel who swept the girl up into a quick hug much to her surprised.

"Watch after him for me." she mumbled in Annabelle's ear who nodded quickly relieved Eric and Godric didn't hear when she walked over to them.

"What was that about?" Eric's face was of child like curiosity and annabelle cocked her head to the side giving him a small smile. "Just girl stuff." she shrugged and Eric narrowed his eyes slightly. "What kinda girl stuff?" he questioned again and Annabelle shrug.

Godric just watched in amusement while his childe tried to find out what Isabel told her. "Girl stuff." Annabelle smiled slightly while Eric looked completely serious trying to figure out what was said. "What did this girl stuff revolve around." Annabelle shrugged while he pestered her until they reached the room.

"Eric." Godric intervened Eric stopped his questions and looked at his maker. "Master?" Godric shook his head and gestured to the door. Eric nodded in understanding pulling out his room key and opened the door letting both Annabelle and Godric through.

"Have you came to a decision yet?" Godric asked gently after a moment of silence and Annabelle had taken a seat on the couch. She looked from Eric to Godric and bit her lip lightly beginning to pick at her nails nervously.

I envision eric to be playful and somewhat loveable when alone with his mate I don't think he would be cold to annabelle for the simple fact he's been waiting a while to meet her. Godric and Eric's relationship had a lot of depth to it and I personally believe that if Godric wasn't depressed that he would be a lot more playful as well and a bit childish because he was turned at such a young age. He did tell Sookie that he could be blamed for the way Eric acts and I think that, that has a lot of truth to it he was and in this story is death for a reason. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Till next time.
