I don't know what happened after Drew the waiter left but all of the sudden i had this over powering urge to look at the door. I tried to resist it but was unable and before i could stop myself my eyes met the blue grey ones of Godric's.
He was standing there in front of the podeum, the hostess openly looking over his body. While the dark haired woman he was with was looking at the floor like she was embarassed. "Nyght what's wrong?" I looked back at Sookie. "Hmm... nothing that i can think off." I smiled, faking that i was perfectly fine.
It was weird. Where i had been content and comfortable a few minutes ago my mood had dropped. I realized in that moment that i was jealous but not enough that i was going to get angry or do anything stupid.
I didn't have to look to see that they were now sitting a few tables behind us. It was annoying, why did i have to feel this way- He wasn't the one that gave me vampire blood was he? I mean yeah i felt a connection to him before but it was a lot stronger now.
I realized with some annoyance that he would be able to feel my emotions, something i had completely overlooked when i just dismissed the thought. Well that was if it was really his blood that i had in my system anyway's.
I hoped that it wasn't Eric's, i more or less saw him as a annoying pain in the ass man whore that was completely stupid and just needed to accept the fact that he loves Sookie. I didn't need to see him as i would because of his blood.
"Are you sure your alright Nyght your being to quiet..." Sookie pressed. I stood up from my chair. "I'm fine, just- I'll be right back." I walked off heading out the front door. The parking lot was about half way full as the front door closed behind me.
I couldn't help feeling like what i was going threw with my sisters was enough i didn't need to bother myself with my own problems. Though i couldn't excatly push my problems off on someone else, that was my burden alone to carry.
"God damn it..." I muttered under my breath and moved so i was leaning against the wall. I was so distracted that i didn't see the vampire coming before he was only there pinning me to the wall. "Aren't you something..." He smirked.
I blew a harsh note and he jumped back snarling at me and covering his ears. "I am not in the mood." I snapped coldly daring him to come at me again. "Refreshing. I've never met a human so unafraid." His eyes which were a second ago dark with hunger were now bright with interest. "I think i will make you mine."
I should have stayed inside.
"I belong to Me. Myself. and I. I will never belong to you, i would kill you first." He laughed, thinking nothing of my threat. I didn't want to deal with this right now so i walked away in to the restuarant. 6ft blond with amused brown eyes following me. I stopped about halfway back to Sookie and Sparrow turned around and glared at him.
"Do you think i am kidding? What part of me tells you i am joking. Leave me alone." If this idiot was going to insist on following me around i didn't know what i would do. "I know you are. Yet unless you want everyone in this building to die you will do as i say."
Sookie. Sparrow. Godric. Innocents. God damn it! I would belong to some strange vampire. No! I continued to glare at him. "Lets just continue our talk outside." I told him, trying to be plesant and out of the corner of my eye i could see Godric getting up.
"That won't stop me from killing them if you argue with me." He told me but lead the way out. To the parking lot just out of sight of the humans towards the back of the building. "What is it that you want to say?" He asked as he leaned against a tree.
"You can't take me without a fight." I told him. "Actually i can. By order of the Magister i am to retrieve you Ms. Nyght Stackhouse for questioning of the where abouts of a William Compton." I froze, any thoughts of attacking him leaving my mind. Why the hell am i to be questioned?
It was when he came at me again that i shrieked and sent him to his knees. "I don't know anything about a Magister." He smirked. "He is in charge of punishing those who break the rules." I could tell just by looking that he had been toying with me from the beginning. He knew who i was and who i would protect.
I took off running, i had to keep back inside but i felt arms wrap around me and he covered my mouth. I thrashed but it was no use. "If you interfere you will be punished by the Magister." He growled at someone and turned to allow me to see who it was.
Godric.
"What could Nyght have done to warrent this?" Godric demanded. "If you want to know come to her trial." The man took off then. Godric could do nothing or he would get in trouble, i didn't want that.
After that i was chained, gagged and thrown in to a coffin in the vampires truck that he had left on the side of the road near the outskirts of town. It didn't matter what i did, i couldn't break it. I couldn't help crying. I was trapped in a fucking coffin! The only air coming from a tiny hole and he hadn't strapped the coffin to anything so it would slide and slame in to one of the sides every time he turned.
It felt like i was in there for hours before he finally stopped. Only to remove the coffin from his truck and ditch it somewhere we me still tightly wrapped up inside. I found myself wishing that what he really wanted was just to claim me. No i didn't want to actually be his but that situation would have been easier to get out of and less scary.
It was probally a day or two... i don't know it felt like forever before the coffin was moved again. That drive was just as unpleasant as the first. I was terrified, i don't know anyone who wouldn't be.
I could hear the sounds of locks being undone and someone talking but it was to low for me to be able to really tell. The coffin was opened while it was standing up and i was unable to stand with my legs chained together so i fell to the ground. Wincing and crying out when the chains bit in to my skin.
"This is the child?" Someone confirmed and i looked up to see a older man sitting in a chair on either side flanked by two big men. I could tell all were vampires. "Yes sir." The older vampire sent him away and look at me.
"Remove the gag." He ordered. In a instant in was gone. "What is your name child?" He demanded. "Nyght." He glared. "Your birth name." I didn't really want to reveal that but i wasn't in the situation where i could argue. "Melody Rea." He motioned for a woman with red hair to come forth.
"Your higness this is the child Compton reported that he was close with?" She looked me over. "Yes. She matches the picture perfectly." Compton took a picture of me! What the fuck! "Explain." He ordered.
"William sent me a letter of how he was fairing in Bon Temps. Telling me of this child and how she's become hooked on Vampire blood. That was the last i've heard of him." Hooked on WHAT!
"Explain." He order me a cold glare once again directly my way. "I have no idea what's going on here! I've only ever had blood when William broke my ribs after i got in the way of him procuring my adopted sister for a vampire queen but i had passed out from the pain i wasn't even awake for that."
"Godric maybe you can alighten me." The woman glared at me promising death in her eyes and i realized then and there that she was the Queen. Godric walked between us and i was fairly sure she would have lunged if he didn't.
"I have watched Compton's and Melody's relationship. It was one of hate and tolerance. It was revealed that Compton was sent to retrieve Ms. Stackhouse for Sophie Anne when Melody fell catching her foot on the strap and sending the documents across the floor. Eric called you about this." Godric handed the old vampire the documents and as he looked them over i realized that a group of vampires were standing behind us.
"What of Compton?" I assumed the old vampire was the magister. "He attacked Melody and My childe's progeny to get to Ms. Stackhouse. He gave me no other choice but to kill him." The Magister gave a curt nod. "Does she use our blood?" He demanded. "No. She has only taken what was given and as she said she was unconcious and unaware at the time."
"Very well." The magister looked at me again and i swear i saw disapointment before his gaze returned to Godric. "What of Compton's progeny?" The Magister asked. "I would like to request that i become her adopted maker." The magister nodded his approval.
"The human is clear of all charges." He annouced before his cold eyes rested on the queen. "Your title has been stripped from you. Your sentence is 20 years in silver in till decided otherwise." She was taken away screaming, curses and threats all directed at Godric and I.
"Unchain the human and get her out of my sight." Godric knelt down and took them off before picking me up and running off. Once he stopped a great distance from where ever in the hell we just were everything that i had been holding in was bubbling to the surface.
"What the hell was that!" He set me on my feet. "It appears in order Compton set up this in order to distract Eric so he could move her to the 'Queen's estate'." I went to rub my wrist but as soon as my finger tips touched it i winced and looked down.
The vampire that had taken me hadn't been gently with the chains at all. I could see the enterlocking links prints in my flesh. Now that i looked that design was on my ankles to, i could see that it was bruising and bruising bad.
"I am sorry Melody." I looked up at him. "Why? It's not your fault." I didn't like the fact that he was apologizing. "I could have stopped hi-" I held my finger over his lips. "Yes you could of stopped him but then you would have been either forced to run and hide or be punished. What you did was the right thing to do. Thank you. If you hadn't brought those papers i would be dead or worse."
He chuckled lightly and gently took ahold of my wrist. "Would you let me heal this?" He asked as he gently ran his finger across the top of my wrist. "See ya got out of that one, close call to and your already snaring another guy." I looked behind me to see the one that had thrown in to a coffin and took me to god knows where.
"You have a lot of nerve." I snapped at him. "What could you do to me? Hmm? Your just a pathetic little girl. Crying out for help." I glared. "Pain. I was crying out in pain you dumbass!" I told him as i showed my other wrist.
"You'll be punished for that later. Come here now." I wanted to kill his hearing but i couldn't do that without hurting Godric. "Tsk tsk. Now we know what happens to a vampire that kills another." He smirked at Godric.
"Your dead." I pulled my wrist away from Godric and threw my hand out the water coiled and snapped a branch from a nearby tree, surrounding it. I could already tell he was going to avoid it so i raised my other hand and surrounded him by a vortex of sorts. He was to amazed or shocked whatever that he forgot about the stake and it was pludge in to his heart.
I turned to face Godric, releasing my hold on the water it hit the ground with a splash. I was afraid, What will he think? What will he say? What will he do? I couldn't bring myself to look up. So i just stood there staring at the ground.
"What's wrong?" He asked as if nothing had happened. "You- Your not going to say anything?" He chuckled. "No i will not. You chose to protect us. I do not care if you are different." So it was obvious to him that i was protecting him even though he didn't need it.
I was surprised, i thought if anything he would have questioned me about it but it didn't even seem to cross his mind to treat me any differently.
"Thank you Godric."
