I don't own anything I am just taking the characters for a walk.


A/N I have always thought that Allen Ball made a terrible mistake killing off Godric. This is what I think should have happened. I am going to try and follow the seasons as close as possible even with the changes I have made. Thanks for all the reviews and story follows it's super flattering- keep em coming : )


Chapter 7

As I stood on Sookie's open back porch I noticed that someone had pilled many broken items here. I let my senses sharpen allowing me to know for sure that the house was empty and had been for some time; Sookie's most recent scent trail was ten hours old. I listened out further than even a vampire could – something that no one knew I was capable of – and found another argument going on across the cemetery.

This night's argument was between childe and maker and apparently Bill was attempting to release his only months old childe. She was listing his failures as a maker: not teaching her to feed, not letting her out of the house, not telling her anything about vampires. When I heard Bill commit a terrible offence. I overheard him compel his newborn childe not to tell anyone of just these offences.

This would leave her without the abilities she would need to survive and not be a danger to humans. Why he would have created her if he did not wish to care for her and teach her our ways? I decided to follow Sookie's scent trail as I could tell she was not at Compton's either.

Astride my bike yet again this evening I pulled up behind Merlottes for the third time in less than as many nights and noticed the police commotion in the front parking lot. I entered through the back and sought out the shifter Sam. He was behind the bar and noticed me as soon as I entered the room.

"What are you doing here again?" I moved swiftly to his side so that my voice would not carry.

"Is that any way to thank the person who saved your life?" I raised my eyebrow in question. I stepped back to a more comfortable distance to further question him. "What happened here tonight? Have you seen Sookie?"

He seemed suspicious but answered me anyways, "A man was shot, Sookie was working but she disappeared shortly after all the commotion out front."

"You did not see her leave?" I was becoming increasing frustrated with not knowing if she was safe not having a connection to her.

"I saw her car leave, she was following Jason's truck." Our attention was diverted to the wailing woman being comforted by a man whom despite being a large black man wore feminine clothes and makeup and strangely smelt of his own childe they were followed closely by the police who were attempting to gather statements.

I decided that now would be a good time to take my leave lest I be stuck here answering questions I could not. I circled the parking lot trying to find hers and Jason's scents in all commotion it was near impossible but I found that he seems to prefer the same spot, which helped. I flew back to the bike and took off after their only minutes old scents. I was lead to a secluded but modest house both their vehicles were parked out front leaving no doubt that I had found the correct home. I parked near the front door and walked up and knocked. I was attempting to divine some reason for my tracking her down when she threw open the door; the look on her face was pure rage.

"Oh its you, I thought you were someone else. Come in please." Her features had changed dramatically to one of relief and she reached out and took my hand. "I'm glad you're here I took your advice and now I'm in need of some assistance."

"You only have to ask Ma Petite. You may formally ask another for protection from the vampire that you are bound to."

"Oh and do you know of someone who would be interested in offering said protection?" She looked into my eyes with hope and her lips twitched into a smirk near the end.

"I would be honoured to avail myself to you and I'm sure Eric would as well." I said returning her same body language.

"You said formal I suppose that would require witnesses then?"

"Yes."

"He asked me to accompany him tomorrow night somewhere special we are to meet at his home at dusk."

Thinking back to his release of his progeny. "I don't think it would be wise to go through with those plans. I overheard him releasing Jessica this evening it seems he plans to leave the area soon and will not be taking her with him."

"But she is so young doesn't she need to stay with him to learn to be a vampire?"

"Yes, and it seems that you might be a better maker than he." She still hadn't released my hand and I felt my earlier stress melt away at her touch.

Jason again interrupted our banter "Hey Godric what are you doing here?"

"I just came to see if Sookie was alright after all the excitement last night is all." I lied convincingly at least to him; Sookie appeared to see right through me.

"Jason how are you doing? I thought you were going to lie down."

"No need to baby me sis I'm fine, you still planning on staying here tonight?" He asked her while looking at me.

"Yes I am and probably for the foreseeable future as Gran's is totally wrecked."

"Well that is fine with me, stay as long as you need to. I'm just gonna get me another beer you want one?"

"No thanks Jase I'm good." He sauntered off in the direction of I'm assuming the kitchen and Sookie eyed me suspiciously.

"I was concerned for you, I do not like the way he treats you. I do not trust his motives either." I explained quickly.

"That makes two of us now that I have had a chance to gather my thoughts."

Relief flooded my system at the same time my senses detected an intruder. Sookie also looked in the direction of the noise I noticed. Someone was climbing in a window.

Sookie spoke before I could move towards the intruder. "Andy what are you doing sneaking in Jason's bathroom window?" Sookie called out and Jason rushed out into the room after hearing her. Andy had a sheepish look on his face when he came out of the bathroom and saw that he had an audience.

"I wanted to talk to you about earlier Jason." He gestured for him to follow him to another part of the house, which he did. Of course we could still hear him. "I wanted to make sure that you kept you mouth shut. I told everyone that I shot Eggs so I need for you all to go along with that story."

"Uh sure Andy. How's Tara?"

"She is some kinda upset. Lafayette took her over to his place tonight, he said he would watch over her." Sookie squeezed my hand at this comment.

"Okay then let me know if there is anything I can do to help."

"That's just it Jason you need to stay out of the way. You have to go back to your normal routine. Let me and the police do our jobs."

"Why did you come in through the window anyways?"

"I didn't want anyone to see me here, now remember you didn't see me tonight."

Sookie and I stood still listening to the exchange and as soon as he made his way out the backdoor this time Jason came back as well.

"You sure got your self into a mess tonight Jason Stackhouse." Sookie admonished him.

"What was I supposed to do? Eggs was waving a knife at Andy and yelling that he was a murderer. If I hadn't shot him there's no telling what would have happened."

"Oh this is all my fault," Sookie wailed. "I should never have agreed to help him with his memories. Some things are better off left unknown."

"You couldn't have known what would happen sis it's not your fault, if anyone's to blame it's that Marianne chick." Jason attempted to sooth her.

"It is an unfortunate consequence of using your gift Ma Petite I am sure you meant him no harm."

"He wanted to know and I was so caught up in my own problems that I didn't even think that maybe his own mind hid those memories for a reason." Sookie started to cry.

"Shhh it's alright." I picked her up and held her close, running my hand over her hair and back. A phone started to ring and she stiffened in my arms. Jason retrieved her phone from her purse, which was on the counter in the kitchen. She looked at the caller id and held it up showing me that it was Bill calling.

"Remember he can feel your emotions." I warned her before she answered in a fake bubbly tone. I moved slightly away from her as to not distract her. I could of course hear both sides of the conversation.

"Hey Bill what's up?"

"I was worried I expected you home before now. Where are you?"

"I'm at Jason's I need to stay here with him tonight."

"Are you sure you need to remain with him all night? I was looking forward to seeing you." I noticed her eyes dilate and the smell of her arousal made my fangs run out.

"Eggs was shot in the parking lot during my shift tonight." She said flatly and she seemed to be fighting her emotions she shook her head and her scent dissipated a bit.

"I don't see how that has anything to do with you staying at Jasons?" Bill argued.

"They are my friends Bill and they need me, I have been so busy with my own stuff that I haven't been a very good friend, poor Tara I don't think she will every forgive me." She started to cry again.

"Well if that is how you feel then, we are still going out tomorrow night though right?" She looked into my eyes at this question and I nodded.

"Yes of course Bill I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Good then I will see you tomorrow night then sweetheart. Sweet dreams." And he hung up.

"That is dirty pool he is playing interfering with my emotions like that to sway me to him."

"We need a plan for tomorrow night."

"What is going on here I though you were all in love with Bill?" Jason asked us.

"I am not sure that Bill's intentions towards me are altogether noble Jason. I am only telling you so that you know to keep out of the mess I am sure will follow."

"You can not meet him alone tomorrow. Eric and I will meet you here an hour after dusk and you can ask for our protection. Jason if you were present it would provide another witness which would be helpful." Jason nodded to say he would be here.

"An hour? Won't he be suspicious how will I delay our departure until you get here?"

"With all that's gone on tonight I'm sure you can come up with something." I smirked at her and she swatted my shoulder. I needed to get back to Eric it was time to let him know what was going on with Sookie. "I need to leave Eric will be wondering. Hand me your phone so I can add my number." I added mine, Eric's and Pam's numbers to her address book. I passed her phone back to her and leant down and kissed her cheek. "I will see you tomorrow night Ma Petite, stay safe." I nodded to Jason.

"Goodnight Godric. Thank you for your help."

"Anytime," and I left her watching me from the open doorway straddle my bike and take off into the night. I slowed as I passed Hummingbird Lane and listened for signs of life at the Compton place but hearing nothing. I pushed my bike and sped onto the highway on ramp. I opened my bond with Eric to find out where he was; he appeared to be at his home. As soon as the garage door closed Eric opened the interior door he stood there in bare feet and jeans having just showered.

"I was wondering when you would grace me with your presence." He was put out and being indignant.

"That is enough of that come we have much to discuss." I pushed past him into the living room and gestured for him to take a seat, which of course he did. "The other night you mentioned you did not trust Compton's reasons for moving into your area yes? Have you learnt anything more about this from your Queen perhaps?"

"No master as I said I know nothing of why he might be in my area. He was a member of her court until recently which of course increased my suspicion in his claim to be mainstreaming while living in his human home no less."

"I am going to offer my protection to Sookie tomorrow evening I would like you to witness this."
