Chapter 9 : The Story Of Us

Godric was about to lose control of himself. Alan had no right to talk about Elizabeth , even if he was telling him that she loved him. Godric just didn't want this vampire to talk about Elizabeth. It was already too painful to know that he was Elizabeth's child, Godric definitely didn't need him talking about her. Of course, the two thousand years old vampire knew that Alan was telling the truth about Elizabeth's feeling because as much as it hurt, Godric knew Alan could feel Elizabeth's feelings.

He shared a bond with her, he shared everything with her and Godric hated that. First Elizabeth should have been his child, but Arthur turned her and now, someone else had a bond with her. How could he deal with that ? How could he deal with the fact that he felt like he was losing her every time he thought someone was closer to her than he would ever be ?

" Listen I don't want to fight with you okay ? I'm only telling the truth. " Alan said and tried to take a step back, except that the remains of the poor furniture were here. " She loves you so much. "

Another loud growl came out of Godric and Alan knew he was playing with fire. He had to, he had to try to talk with this vampire, for his maker. It couldn't be that complicated and Godric couldn't be that stubborn. After everything he had learned about him when Elizabeth talked about him, he knew he could make him understand that Elizabeth still loved him.

" She turned you. "

Godric was jealous, completely jealous and Alan could see it. He loved his maker, that was so evident. So why was he being so difficult ? Alan just couldn't understand. He was young, of course but he knew that no one should give up on love and that what exactly what Godric was doing. The worst thing about that was the fact that he was hurting himself and he was hurting Elizabeth too.

She was trying to hide her pain from Alan, but he could still feel her and he wanted to kill Godric for what he was making her feel. He would do anything for her because of the bond they shared. He wanted her to be happy and he wanted Godric to stop hurting her.

Of course, Godric had the right to blame her, Alan wasn't blind and he knew Elizabeth had made many mistakes but she was back, she loved him, he had to be with her.

" She saved me and now we're like brothers and sisters. There's nothing going on between us okay ? When we were in New York, she was just so sad. She thought I didn't know it but I saw her crying, I watched her spending her days thinking about you. She knows she has hurt you and she only wants you to forgive her. "

Perhaps he was telling the truth, a part of Godric trusted Alan but another part of him, the most dominant part, just couldn't forget who he was. Were they really like brothers and sisters ? Probably because if Godric was being completely honest, he could see in Alan's eyes that he didn't love Elizabeth like a lover should.

" You know nothing about us. " Godric said and clenched his fists. Why was he being so stubborn ? He knew he was acting like a teenager, he knew he was being ridiculous. Maybe he should just listen to Alan, maybe he should just try to know him.

If he was once again completely honest with himself, Alan seemed great and he cared a lot about Elizabeth. He was trying to protect her, he was trying to help her fix things with him. Godric also had to admit one thing, if Alan seemed so attached to Elizabeth, it was probably because she had been a good maker.

Alan seemed to control himself very well, even if he was a newborn. Elizabeth had been a great teacher, it was just so evident. That made Godric think about something else, he remembered the night he told Elizabeth that she would be a great maker. Somehow, she had followed his advice but that hurt. That night, Godric didn't thought it could be so painful for him. And now, even if he knew turning a vampire had changed her for good, he couldn't help himself and hated that.

" Why are you like that ? Honestly I don't understand you. She's back, you love her and she loves you. Just be with her. " Alan let out an exasperate sigh. " I get it, she hurt you and now I'm here but I just don't understand. You have to forgive her, you two are made for each other and I don't want to watch my maker suffering because of you stupidity ! "

Now it was Alan's time to be angry but he knew he should control himself. He was no match against Godric if he decided to attack him. Then, he just couldn't stay calm in front of Godric.

On the other hand, Godric stared blankly at the young vampire. He was surprised by him, very surprised. He just seemed devoted to Elizabeth.

" She was here for me when my family rejected me, she was here to save me and I will not let you hurt her. " Alan was ready to attack Godric, he wanted to do this, he wanted to do this so badly. Maybe he should try…

Alan's fangs extended and Godric immediately noticed the look on his face. He knew exactly what was going to happen and strangely, he wanted to avoid this fight. Why ? It was not because he liked him, or because he didn't want to injure badly but it was because of Elizabeth. He just couldn't hurt her child without hurting her too. Plus, Alan was only trying to protect his maker and that was something Godric could understand because Eric would do the same thing. In fact, he had already done this when he learned about Elizabeth's attempt to kill him.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you. " Godric calmly said but it was like Alan was deaf because he simply used his vampire speed to grab Godric.

It was pointless, completely pointless because Godric was much stronger and much faster than him. And before Alan knew it, he was once again at the mercy of the two thousand years old vampire.

" I could snap you like a twig. "

Yes, he could and Alan was aware of that thing. Godric's hand on his throat was hurting him and with one single movement he knew that Godric could kill him.

" Then do it but you and I both know you will lose her forever. You love her and if you kill me, she will never forgive you. "

At least, Alan was pretty sure that Godric wouldn't kill him, or rather he hoped so. What if he was wrong ? What if Godric didn't love Elizabeth like he thought ? No, that was completely stupid.

" Can't you see that I'm not trying to take her away from you ? I want my maker to be happy, and she can only be happy with you. "

Godric released Alan for the second time that night. He was sincere, that was so evident. Godric knew he had to stop this madness. He loved Elizabeth, he wanted her and he couldn't deny that. He should just stop pushing her away like that. Of course, it wasn't going to be easy but at least, he had to stop being so stubborn.

They just had to take it slow.

" You care a lot about her. " Godric stated and Alan nodded, even if he was still afraid that Godric didn't really understand his feelings for Lizzie.

Alan loved her just like he used to love his sister, before she decided to reject him. And now, Elizabeth was the only one he could count on. She was everything to him. Of course, he had tried to share more with her than a simple brotherly relationship, but that was a terrible mistake and he knew it now. The night he kissed her, even if that felt right, he was glad she pushed him away. He definitely didn't love her like that and now there was nothing going on between them.

" She's my maker, of course I care about her but she's like my sister. You have to believe me. "

" I believe you. "

Alan sighed in relief. It was like now, everything was going to be okay.

" She should be back soon. " Alan said because he could feel her coming back. She was going to be angry at him, but he wasn't the one to blame. It was Godric who came here. How was she going to take it ? Alan didn't know.. " You should wait for her. "

Alan wished he could leave Godric here so that Elizabeth would find him but she would punish him for leaving the hotel room and that was something Alan didn't want.

Maybe he could try to get to know Godric while they were waiting for Elizabeth to come back. Of course, Alan already knew many things about him but he wanted to learn more about that two thousand years old vampire.

Then, something told him that it wasn't going to be easy. Godric didn't like him…

" Okay so maybe I should introduce myself properly. I'm Alan Cooper. " Alan said and immediately regretted it. Godric shot him a murderous look, he definitely didn't want to talk.

And he didn't want to talk with him, at least for now. One day, Alan was sure that Godric and him would become friends. After all, they both loved Elizabeth, she meant a lot to them. They should be friends.


I spent a lot of time with Sookie, just walking and talking. She was still so sweet but something had changed within her I guess. She was more suspicious when it came to vampires and I should also say when it came to any other supernatural creatures. She told me that fairyland wasn't really a lovely place to be and fairies weren't really very nice. I could only believe her but I knew that she had never met my father and my brother.

Anyway, she was glad to be back, even if someone had brought her house, even if she had been gone for more than a year. I was also glad that she was back. She was after all the only human I liked, well she wasn't completely human. She was part-fairy so that was why I probably liked her.

Then, there was also something I noticed about her, she was still angry at Bill for his betrayal, which was completely understandable.

Bill, he was a king now. I should probably go and see him to let him know I was back and that I had a progeny but honestly, I didn't want to see him. I didn't really like him. He loved Sookie but at the time he was also working for the queen so he was not really trustworthy. Well, I didn't really want to think about Bill now.

I was on my way back to the hotel, Alan was probably waiting for me. There was something strange about him when I thought about it. When I was with Sookie, I suddenly felt nothing coming from him. He had blocked our bond and I was surprised by this. I thought that he would never be able to do this so soon but I guess I was wrong. It was great honestly but I still wondered why he had done this.

Was he hiding something from me or was he just trying to get use to our bond ? I wasn't really sure but it just couldn't be bad. Alan was probably having fun with some fangbangers in our hotel room… Perhaps I shouldn't have told him to stay at the hotel. After all, he could take care of himself and he was safe outside. It wasn't like Godric would attack him. And I was pretty sure that I would find a real mess there, in the hotel room.

I finally arrived at the hotel and when I opened the door of our hotel room, I immediately noticed that something happened her.

Worst, Alan was sitting on one bed while Godric was leaning against a wall, right in front of the door.

Okay, should I be happy or angry ?

What the hell was Godric doing here ? And what did he do to Alan ? What did Alan do ? He must have done something because I didn't see why Godric was here.

Alan had disobeyed me.

" What did you do ? " I said and slammed the door. I had nearly forgotten that Godric was here. I only wanted to understand what happened and I was furious at Alan.

Of course, Alan didn't seem hurt but the remains of a furniture proved me that something happened here.

" Nothing. " Alan answered and I could feel that somehow he was proud of himself. " Godric came here , we talked and now that you're back I think I should leave. Can I leave ? "

He was joking right ? No, he wasn't and my eyes went between Godric and Alan. Could it be real ? Did they really talk ? Perhaps because at least, Alan wasn't hurt and Godric remained impassive. Something had happened here.

" I'm not hurt, Lizzie. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine and now I think Godric and you should be alone. " Alan stood up and I was confused.

I just didn't want to do. A part of me wanted Alan to stay here with me, I wanted to be sure that he was perfectly fine. I was worried for him even if he seemed perfectly okay. I was paranoid. Then, another part of me wanted to be with Godric and I wanted to know why he came here and what happened here. Something told me that Godric and Alan had a little fight.

" I want you to be back before dawn. Don't do anything stupid, Alan." I said. Alan didn't waste time and left immediately, leaving me alone with Godric.

I was completely frozen. I honestly didn't know what to do. I had so many questions to ask him but right now, I just couldn't talk. That was completely ridiculous, I was completely ridiculous. The vampire I loved was standing right in front of me, he had come here to see me and I wasn't doing anything.

Great, Lizzie, really great. I definitely made a pathetic vampire, in fact I wasn't even acting like a vampire. I was being weak… I hated that, I hated myself for feeling that way, I hated Godric for making me feel that way and yet I loved him.

" Why did you come here ? " I asked and I could have slapped myself. What was that question ?

" We need to talk. " Godric calmly answered and I didn't know if I should be reassured.

He was too calm, and I was afraid. What if he was going to tell me we were completely over ?

" You are a good maker. "

My mouth fell open, I certainly wasn't expecting that.

" He cares a lot about you. " Godric started to walk and before I knew it, he was right in front of me and I took a step back. My back hit the door but I wasn't uncomfortable, or afraid. I was fine, really fine because Godric wasn't angry like last night.

Or at least, he was hiding his anger very well. I think the second option was better because Godric clearly couldn't have forgotten everything and the fact that he had destroyed things in this room, and the fact that he had probably fought with Alan proved that he was still furious. Well, at least he wasn't fighting with me. He was even complimenting me.

" I know, he's great you know. "

Our eyes met and my heart melted at this sight. He loved me, I could see it. Well, at least I hoped I wasn't wrong.

" He means a lot to me and I understand now why you chose to help Eric when he decided to let Russell alive. "

Godric stayed silent, he only stared at me. I wished I could read his thoughts because even if I would tell that he still loved me, I could also see that something was wrong. Of course, talking about Alan wasn't really a good idea.

" So, what do you want to talk about ? " I asked.

Stupid, really stupid. I couldn't believe that I was two hundred years old. Honestly, I was acting like those stupid teenagers. It was like I didn't know what to do.

" Us. "

Us, that was such a lovely word. At least, he still thought there was something between us. That was rather great wasn't it ?

" I know I've fucked up everything when I left and I know I'm the only one to blame for the pain you've been through. I know that you won't be able to forgive me easily but I promised you I would come back and here I am. You can't forget what happen and I understand but I just want to make things right. "

His eyes were piercing right through me but he wasn't saying anything. This silence was so heavy and it was getting uncomfortable.

" I was in New York and it was killing me to be away from you. I wanted to come back but I was afraid. I was always thinking about you and I even thought I saw you one night. I just wanted to be with you. And then, I found Alan. He was dying and I had this sudden urge to turn him and I thought that maybe that was a great idea. " I said and I just couldn't stop myself from talking and explaining everything to Godric. I needed to know everything and since he was not talking, I just had to break this terrible silence. " And then, when I was with Alan, it was great and I wasn't thinking about you. No, don't get me wrong I was but it was different because I had to take care of him. When his family rejected him, I decided to come back and now here I am… "

And now, I was speechless. I just didn't what to say, or maybe I did. There was only one thing I could say.

" I love you Godric. I've never stopped loving you. "

" I know Elizabeth, I know. " He whispered and somehow I felt bad, really bad. He wasn't telling me he loved me.


I hope you liked this chapter.

A huge thanks to Carlypso, musicluver246, Nicola, PrettyLittleVampire, Jofrench22, downbelowgirl and Cc for their reviews. It always means a lot to me.

Pour Jofrench22, j'avais déjà dans l'idée d'utiliser l'amnésie d'Eric pour rapprocher Elizabeth et Godric et je suis contente que tu aies eu la même idée. Ca me fait aussi plaisir que tu aimes bien Alan, j'avais peur que les gens le détestent. En tout cas, merci pour ta review. C'est assez marrant de voir que des français lisent mon histoire, c'est assez ironique je trouve. En tout cas, merci encore pour ta review.

Now I have once again a bad news. I don't think I'll post a chapter every week. I don't really have any inspiration for this story, so I'll try to do my best to post a chapter but I can't promise anything. I hope you're not too disappointed... I wish I could have inspiration, I really do. I think that I can't write because I kept thinking about all the reviews I got for Misery Business and I'm extremly sad when I see that my readers are not back... I'm probably really stupid. Anyway, I still hope you like this story and that you'll continue to read it.

Please, don't forget to leave me a little comment here. It means a lot and perhaps it will make me want to write and you'll get the next chapter sooner. So please review ?
