Hey guys. This was a really difficult chapter for me to write so it would be really cool if you could take a sec to review it, let me know what you think. Thank you!
Parts of this chapter are taken from the script "Timebomb" which I do not own. Nor do I own the characters from True Blood however I do own the character 'Gee'
Two months later:
Eric sat behind his desk at Fangtasia. He hadn't much been in the mood to be sociable since everything two months ago. The phone rang, he picked it up lazily.
"Yes?"
"Eric Northman?"
"Who is this?"
"Its Isobel, from Dallas."
"Yes I remember. Want can I do for you?"
"Its Godric, we think he has been kidnapped."
"I'll be in Dallas in 2 days."
"Thank you. I..."
but before she could even say anything the line was dead. Eric sat in his chair staring at the wall in deep thought; Godric gone, again. He knew that he would be back at the stupid church, but why? Why was he so determined to let the fanatics kill him. He shuddered at the thought of him gone; Godric had given him everything. He knew he would have to go about getting him back in a different way, more public.
Pam entered his office.
"What?" Eric snapped at her.
"Bill Compton is here with Sookie Stackhouse. There seems to have been some sort of accident which somehow requires your help." She said lazily.
Eric walked into the club and saw Bill's worried face as he held a limp Sookie in his arms.
"I need your help." Bill said in a desperate voice.
"I know just who to call."
Eric darted back into his office to the phone. This was bad, he needed Sookie, alive.
Episodes 'Scratches', 'Shake and Fingerpop', 'Never Let Me Go', 'Hard-Hearted Hannah' and 'Release me' takes place. Gee has completely dropped of out of the scene.
Set during"I will rise up" and "Timebomb"- Gee is at the gathering
Gee walked into the nest full of people. She felt so uncomfortable but everybody there minus Eric and Godric still thought that She was Godric's and to avoid gossip, she thought that it should stay that way. Eric rushed over to Gee as soon as she stepped through the door.
"What the hell do you think you are doing showing up here?" he said in a very hushed voice so only she could hear.
"Nobody knows that Godric went to the church willingly, twice. I thought that it would appear suspicious if my 'maker' had got kidnapped by a bunch of religious vampire hating extremists and I didn't show up to his 'welcome back' party, it would look strange and people would start talking. And I hate gossip."
She didn't look at him once. Eric couldn't argue with her logic; he too hated gossip and thought people would think it strange.
"Just don't stay long." he said curtly.
"Believe me I don't want to but I am also here as the Queens representative for the investigation."
Eric laughed; he found his sister's audacity unbelievable .
"And what, you couldn't find it in your heart to say no?"
For the first time Gee made eye contact with him, yet she said nothing to his question; she knew he knew the answer. She broke her eye contact.
"Of course not." Eric answered his own question.
"Just stay away from Godric and I."
"I have to say something to him, that would look even worse if I turned up and said nothing but you I will happily stay away from."
She walked away from him and towards Bill who was standing with Sookie.
"Mr Compton, hi." She smiled. Once again she was this glorious care free vampire radiating assertiveness and confidence.
"Miss Northman, please, call me Bill." He said in a relaxed and eager yet formal tone.
"Well if I am to call you Bill, please, call me Gee."
Bill had only met Ginna half a dozen times but was very fond of her, much more than he was Eric.
"Very well. Gee this is Sookie. Sookie this is, well, Gee."
"Ah the famous Sookie. It a pleasure to meet you and may I take this opportunity to thank you, for helping get Godric back. I really appreciate it."
Sookie smiled.
"I was just glad that I could help. Gee Northman? Any relation to Eric?"
Gee smiled awkwardly.
"Ah yes. My brother."
Sookie raised her brows in disbelief; Gee seemed so nice and elegant, not like Eric at all. Gee noticed her surprise.
"I know, hard to believe two people so different were created from the same gene pool."
They all laughed.
"Well thank you once again Sookie. Its been a pleasure, really."
"No really the pleasure is all mine."
Gee smiled. There was something different about her; she wasn't the average run of the mill human. Gee defiantly wanted to find out more.
"And Bill its been wonderful to see you again. I must come and visit you both in Bon Tomps soon."
"Defiantly!" Sookie answered with enthusiasm.
"Yes that would be lovely." Bill seconded.
"Well till then." Gee smiled and glided majestically into the next room.
"What a charming lady; nothing like Eric, are they sure they are related?" Sookie whispered.
Bill smiled.
"Yes they are but they don't get along; its unknown for them to be in the same room together."
"Why? What happened?"
"This is only rumour but, rumour has it, Gee killed his human, a human that he was very fond of, in love with some say."
"Why did she do it?"
"Well some say she did it because they had got into an argument, centuries ago, and she killed his human maliciously, others say she did it through jealousy and Eric never forgave her for it."
"Jealous of what?"
Bill smiled.
"Its just rumours Sookie. We don't even know if there was even a human involved but something happened; one decade, the two of them were inseparable, the next..." Bill shrugged.
Sookie was silent for a moment.
"So where were you?"
Bill stared at her confused.
"When?" he said slowly.
"Bill, I was in that basement for two days, you don't even wanna know what almost happened to me down there. Where were you?"
Bill shifted uncomfortably.
"Sookie its..."
"Its complicated is not an answer. Every time i've needed you you've always come running even in broad day light. What kept you?"
"I was held."
"Held? What, kidnapped? By who? By Eric?"
Gee watched Sookie and Bill, mostly Sookie in fascination, up until Eric walked up to them both; she could tell even by being in the same room as them that Eric was drawn to her. She looked away, her eyes fell on Godric sitting in the next room. Her heart suddenly felt like a ton of bricks pulling her down; she loved him, she couldn't help but love him, not just because he was her maker, but because he was him. People were watching her, she could feel it. She thought it best time to go see him like everybody else was. She walked slowly towards him and stood in line of all the other people waiting to tell him how happy they were about his return. The line moved quicker than she would have liked and nobody had joined in behind her. She soon was faced with him.
He couldn't help but to look surprised to see her although he tried to mask it; this was quite out of character for Gee.
"Hello" He said questioningly.
"Hi"
Her voice was soft and quiet with a slight hint of embarrassment. She hoped that to one of the many bystanders watching and listening to them that it would just seem like they hadn't seen each other for a while.
They stared at each other. Gee hadn't seen Godric for half a century before two months ago yet the two months had seemed more like 50 years; she had missed him so much it hurt. She cleared her throat.
"On behalf of Sophie-Ann, Queen of louisiana..." She said in a formal less hushed tone.
"...And myself..." This she said quieter and softer.
"...We are pleased to hear of your safe return and hope you are in good health."
The room erupted in applause.
"Thank you and you will pass on my gratitude to the Queen?"
"Of course." Gee smiled weekly.
The room went back to their conversations. Gee stood closer to Godric.
"I wanted to..." Gee started but was interrupted by Isobel bringing in Hugo; the human betrayer. Gee moved to stand next to Godric.
"Here is the one who betrayed us." She said throwing Hugo to the floor.
"Hugo..." Godric spoke
"He is your human is he not?"
"Yes he is."
"Do you love him?"
"I...I thought I did." She started to sob.
"It appears you love him still."
"I do. I'm sorry. But you are my sheriff, do with him as you please"
"You're free to go."
"Huh?" Hugo said in shock.
"What" Stan growled
"The human is free to go. And do not return, I fear it is not safe for you here." Godric looked at Stan.
"This is a travesty."
"This is my verdict. Eric, escort them out, make sure he leaves unharmed." Godric commanded.
"Yes Godric." Eric's eyes flitted to Gee and narrowed slightly, just for a second.
"Thank you. Thank you sheriff." said Isobel.
Gee turned to look at Godric.
"I've missed you." She whispered.
"And I you." Godric whispered back.
"But its not enough is it." Gee's voice cracked.
Luckily nobody was paying any attention to them, to busy talking about what just happened. Gee walked away, pulling her emotions together.
She walked into the other room where she saw a commotion had broken out between Sookie and a vampire who she recognised as Bill's maker. Gee was impressed at how Sookie seemed fearless of this vampire. She watched in amazement, fascinated by Sookie's actions up until the point where she called the vampire a fucking bitch, she thought that was a bit weak. Gee was about to intervene and remove the vampire's hand from Sookie's neck when Godric did. She watched in awe as he asserted his authority, but cringed at his words of fearing for vampires and humans because she knew that was why Godric was fed up with the world.
She watched Bill escort the vampire and decided that it was it; she couldn't sit by and do nothing while Godric tried to invent new and different ways to kill himself; she loved him to much, 1000 years worth of love, she didn't want to be in a world where Godric was not. She wanted to go up to him not caring about the room full of people, and tell him that she loved him and would do anything just to be with him. Gee's stomach was floating she quickly walked up to Godric and placed her hand on his for-arm.
"Godric I need to talk to you." She started but was cut off.
"Excuse me everyone, If I could have you're attention. My name is Luke McDonald i'm a member of the Fellowship of the Sun and I have a message for you all from Reverend Steve Newlin."
As he said these words, he opened up his coat revealing a mass of silver and wooden bullets strapped to him with a pack of explosives. Even with vampire speed she knew she would be able to get to him on time even though they were one of the closest to him, but she knew what she had to do. She pushed Godric back and pulled him to the ground with all her strength, more strength than she even new she had. She fell on top of him, shielding him from the explosion. She felt several things cut into her, burning as they twisted with speed into her body. Pieces of silver grazed her face and she could feel the hot flames lick her flesh. Was this it? Was this the end for her? Dying for someone who didn't even want to live. Dying for someone she loved.
