My anxiety grew each passing second in the car. I wasn't looking forward to meeting Steve and Sarah Newlin, I was worried I would say something that would tip them off to my plan. Maybe there would be a way not to encounter them.

"Eric?" I looked to him, his eyes were focused on the road in front of us until he turned to me. I trusted he wouldn't get us in a crash.

"Yes?"

"Is there a way I could rescue Godric without having to encounter Steve and Sarah first?"

"Fawn, you need to be brave. Fear doesn't get you anywhere."

"I know, but I am so scared of messing up! I know I will say something that will make them aware of what's going on!"

He looked back at the road and remained silent for a few seconds.

I feared that I had irritated him.

"Can I trust you Fawn?" He looked back at me. I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Yes, you can Eric. I don't want to mess up, I want to get things right." I sniffled, "Please Eric, I want to help really bad, but I don't want to talk to-"

"Enough. We'll figure out something for you to do."

Majority of the car ride was left in silence after he spoke. I didn't dare look at him, I could tell he was angry.

Just before we arrived at the church Eric pulled the car off to the side of the road. I shook with fear waiting for him to speak. From what I could see in the dark car he was looking straight ahead, his face showing no emotion.

"We think Godric is being kept in the basement. Based on what we know, there is a way into the basement from the outside. It would be better for you as a human to go in and find out his location and anything else you can figure out about The Fellowship of The Sun. Is this job satisfactory for you?" He looked at me, I could see a faint outline of his face in the dark.

"I could manage that... get information on The Fellowship of The Sun, and find Godric?"

"Yes, and you must not be found by anyone in the Fellowship. Do you understand?"

"Of course I do."

"Good. I will take you to the way in."

He began to open his door, I wasn't quite ready yet.

"Wait, Eric."

He turned back.

"Yes?"

"What do I do when I find Godric?"

"I'll sense it when you find him."

He got out and shut the door leaving me in silence. I didn't like his answer, but I guess I would live with it the way he is. He opened my car door and picked me up effortlessly. The way his arms encircled me and his hands touched my legs and back made me want to melt into him, but no, I had a job to do.

We had walked a long way through the dark outdoors before finally making it to a large church. The grass crunched under Eric's feet as he skirted around the place and eventually stopped at a small door in the ground. He gently set me down and watched me pull my skirt down.

"Very... cryptic. . . a door in the ground." I said half to myself. Eric let out a light chuckle before he bent down and pulled the door open. I was thoroughly surprised to see a decent staircase that was lit leading down into a cement room, it eased my nerves a little.

"Good luck my dear," He laid a light kiss on my lips, "I will return after dealing with some matters, when you are done there will be a reward for you."

Reward? What could that mean? I gave him one last look, mustering up a smile just for him before I took a deep breath and started down the stairway. There is no turning back now.

The first thing I noticed was the office like setting that there was in this room. A desk, and many many filing cabinets. I remembered how one of my goals was to get information on the Fellowship, and usually information was held in rooms like this. I ran to the nearest cabinet and gently pulled on the top drawer, the last person who opened it had not taken care to properly lock it as it easily slid open. The first file I picked out was from a section titled "Soldiers of the Sun". It held a picture of a fairly tan male with brown eyes and caramel hair. His name was 'Jason Stackhouse' and he was personally chosen by Steve and Sarah to protect their family.

"What are you doing?" A voice sounded in the room, I shoved the file back into the cabinet and shut it quickly before reeling around to see who had yelled at me. A gray haired male was in the doorway and in his hand he held a gun clearly pointed at me. I stammered and sputtered for my answer, but nothing came. Before I knew it I was on the ground, my abdomen exploding with pain and my ears ringing. Amidst this I heard a gurgling wail and then another male was at my side. My head was cradled and I could now see he was a brunette, he had patterned tattoos along his neck and arms. He was cold, a vampire.

"Who... Godric?" I managed to choke out. He looked slightly shocked.

"How do you know of me?"

"E-eric Northman."

"Eric sent a human for me?"

I nodded.

"He shouldn't have done that, I must heal you and fix this."

I watched him lift his wrist to his mouth and bite it. His blood trickled down his arm.

"No, please." I felt a tear slip down my cheek.

"Yes, you will die otherwise."

I blacked out immediately after, I could feel my life leaving my body.

A nectarine taste filled my mouth and brought me back to conscious thought. I realized that Godric's arm was to my mouth and feeding blood into me. It tasted different from Eric's, but still sweet and wonderful. My head began to clear and the pain in my abdomen left, I felt better although I didn't want to betray Eric. I pushed at Godric's arm not wanting anymore of his blood, now he is bonded to me aswell. It was about then he pulled away and I was able to see his face full on. I watched his expression turn from dull to somewhat serene.

"I am here my child, down here." He spoke, closing his eyes. Before I could open my mouth to ask what he was talking about Eric appeared before us. I didn't know what to make of the look on his face; he looked completely awestruck. I allowed Godric to stand and have a moment with his child, I watched as they exchanged so much between each other with not a word or a touch.

"You shouldn't have sent a human for me." Godric broke the silence.

"It was the only way to rescue you." Eric who was knealing is now looking up at his maker.

"I was in no need of a rescue Eric."

"Godric, are you aware of what they had planned for you?"

"Yes, I was well aware of what they had planned."

A harsh sound filled the room along with flashing lights, the two vampires looked up.

"Eric, leave now. Get the human out."

"Godric, I will not leave your side!"

"I said leave. Spill no blood on your way out."

Eric stood and took my hand, I ran to keep up with his quick pace. We wove around tight corners and eventually we were climbing up the stairs that led to the main level of the church. He stopped and put his fingers to his lips motioning for me to remain quiet, my heart was racing. If it was enough to stop Eric; I should probably be somewhat worried. He glanced around the corner and his positioning allowed me to see as well. A group of Steve Newlin's anti vampire 'soldiers of the sun'" were meeting in the main room. They spoke in hushed tones and carried many weapons that could easily take down a vampire, maybe even one with Eric's power.

Eric turned to me and took a hold of my shoulder.

"Stay here and keep quiet."

"Eric? What are you doing? They have sta-"

"Just trust me." He whispered to me before he turned around. I watched curiously as he hunched his shoulders and popped up the collar of his jacket. An odd grin spread across his face that had me worried for his sanity. He sauntered out to the soldiers and it was then I realized his game; he was playing out a perfect imitation of a human, it was almost scary how well he had it perfected. I couldn't hear the conversation, but it wasn't hard to see that they weren't buying whatever he was telling them. Eric turned back to himself and caught the gaze of a younger male, the glazed look humans get when glamoured took over his face. My fears were confirmed when an older male began to approach Eric with a stake from behind, I couldn't let this happen. Right as the older male lifted his arm I stepped out from my hiding space,

"Eric!" I shouted. He immediately dropped the glamour and turned on the guy who was behind him. Disarming the guy posed no problem to Eric, I watched as the others ran in fear and abandoned their own.

"Remember Godric's words! Don't kill him!" I wouldn't lie, I didn't want to see Eric kill someone. Just because I knew it happened didn't mean I wanted to see. I was relieved when Eric immediately dropped the stake and allowed the guy to run off. Eric came to me and took my arm, hoping for an exit we entered the church. That didn't work, of course not. We were met face to face with Steve Newlin. This night just gets better and better doesn't it?
