Chp 8
(Flashback)
Dusk had arrived. Godric was on a walk when he sensed a presence of a human being with a powerful aura. He went deep into the woods and found a woman sitting in front of a bond fire. She stared into the bond fire, but her mind was elsewhere. He examined her – she's wearing rags, as if she's homeless and her body was dirty. "Excuse me, miss?", he said, but she ignored him. He touched her, but he wished he didn't. Somehow, he was transported back to what it seemed back in the middle age.
After mere seconds, he was transported back to reality and he stumbled backwards. The woman gasped and immediately said, "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!". "It's fine. What are you?", Godric asked. "I don't know. I found out about this particular thing that I can do, but I don't know how to control it. I've been to places that I can't even explain where I was", she answered. "You were in the middle age just now, somewhere during King Arthur and Merlin's time", said Godric.
She grabbed a leather bound book that Godric didn't notice it was beside her. She flipped it open and showed him the first page. "This guy?", she asked. Godric knew this book. He had seen it once. Merlin's Book – the book where he kept all his spells, hexes, curses, etc. "Yes, but may I ask how do you come to acquire it?", asked Godric. The woman shrugged and said, "It's the only thing my mum left to me before she died". "Where do you live?", he asked again. "My apartment has been seized because apparently all this time, my friend somehow wired my money to her bank account instead to the appropriate channel. I don't have any money, any relatives or job", said the woman, "Kinda living like a hippie nowadays".
"Why don't you come and live with me?", said Godric. "What?! No thanks, I don't know you and you don't know me. Won't that be awkward?", said the woman. "No, it won't. My name is Godric", he said. "Elisabeth Munroe", said the woman. Godric took her home and Elisabeth realized it was a vampire nest. "Are you a vampire?", she asked him when he showed her to her new room. "Yes, I'm 2000 years old", said Godric.
Isabel was nice to her, but Stan was a little reluctant. Whenever the cowboy tried to sniff her, Godric would hiss and order him to back off. One night, after a few months living with him, Elisabeth asked Godric, "Why are you so protective of me? You could've sucked me dry, but you didn't. Why?". Godric walked to her and Elisabeth backed away slowly until her back is pressed to the wall. Godric's lips slowly reached for hers and they kissed. "I love you", he said. "I don't understand", she said. "The day I met you, I was attracted to an aura that was emitted from you. Somehow, I knew I had to protect you. I knew my heart ache because every time I think of you, my unbeaten heart suddenly feels. That feeling – it was missing for more than 2000 years. I was a heartless vampire, but you changed me", he explained.
"Is that the reason why Isabel has been giddy for the past few days?", asked Elisabeth. Godric nodded and smiled. "Perhaps because I haven't been so happy for so long…, until you arrived", he said. Godric and Elisabeth's relationship was kept a secret when she found out that she was a witch of Merlin's descendant. Godric couldn't risk the AVL to find out and Stan and Isabel did all they can to keep it a secret. Witches and vampires don't usually go along very well, minus Godric and Elisabeth of course.
Elisabeth retuned her sleeping pattern, where she slept during the day and stay awake at night. She even met Eric, who was surprisingly nice to her. Though it was odd to Godric, he was relieved that his progeny had taken a liking for his mate. A few years later, Elsa was born. Her growth was as normal as any child and she was educated under Godric's watch. Elsa can walk during the day, sliver weakened her, but she cannot die from the True Death, though she can die by staking her. Elsa was closed to Eric and eventually, Eric asked Godric's permission to marry Elsa and make her his mate. Pam couldn't accept that her maker had love a half-hybrid, but eventually they became best friends.
Emrys was born when Elsa was 20 and Eric just turned 1000. Eric was proud of his son, even though their relationship was not in good terms sometimes. Eric was busy at Fangtasia at night and Elsa was at home most of the time. She hated that place, but she always reminded her son that Eric loves him no matter what. When Emrys turned 19, a week later, as Elsa and Elisabeth went to shop for baking items, they were attacked and drained. They died there and then.
Godric was enraged by the murder of his mate and the fact that the King of Texas refused to do a thing. Eric was as angry as his maker, but he had to calm down. His son needed protection. He swore to avenge Elsa's death no matter what.
(Present)
"Wow", was the only thing Bill said. "Now do you understand why is it so hard for my dad and I to tell you what I am?", said Emrys. "Eric, is this even possible? Having a REAL son when you're a 1000 year old vampire?", asked Bill. "Elisabeth's heritage as a Merlin's descendant gave her the power of life, which then she and Godric have Elsa, then Elsa and I have Emrys", answered Eric.
"Does the AVL knew?", said Bill. "We've made sure his identity and true nature are kept within us only…, and now you", said Isabel. "I swear, I won't say a word, but I still stand by my decision to not get Sookie involved", said Bill. "I thought I told you of my plan", said Emrys. "I'm still younger than your dad to get myself burn in the sun", said Bill. "Don't you worry, Mr. Compton, I know what I'm doing", said Emrys. "Godric's gonna kill me", Eric mumbled. "He'll kill us if Emrys gets kill", said Isabel.
