Oh golly Miss Molly! That's not really my name, but has it ever been a long time! First of all I'd like to apologize. It's been forever since I last updated. I'm hesitant to even think about it! I'm sorry I took forever. To be quite honest, school is killer so there's one reason. I also took some time to, hm what's the word, re-evaluate(?) this story of mine. You know, I just needed to straighten things out detail-wise. There were some parts that never felt real enough for me and I wanted to change them, but this has been out for a while so I didn't want to send everyone back to the beginning all because of my dislike of certain details. I promise I'll work on, not only the story, but Camilla also. She needs some tweaking and to become, I don't know, less. There's something about her that's too much, at least for me. Maybe I've been reading too many other fics and immersing myself in other areas. Maybe not, who knows!
I can't promise anything about regular updates, but I am definitely not giving up on this. I'm here for the long run, folks! I'd at least like to finish what I had in mind. This chapter isn't the longest but it isn't the shortest and considering I lost myself at certain points, it might not flow quite so well. I hope you'll forgive me for taking eons to update and I'll try to post as quickly as possible. But quality is my priority so, hopefully this and future chapters will be up to par and be updated moderately fast. Anyway, enjoy!
Oh yes, thank you to all you lovely readers and reviewers and story alert-ers and favourite-ers? Haha, anyway, thank you to all of you! Thanks for all your continuing support and hopefully I won't upset or disappoint too many of you with whatever else I cook up.
PS. About the last part, I'm sorry if it's not fantastic. I've never written anything like...that...but...well hopefully you guys can live through it. I'll try my best to work on writing with those sort of ideas in mind. Err...
Camilla bit her lip to silence herself as vampire after vampire knelt before Godric and gave him their well-wishes. The end of the line was nowhere to be seen and she leant against the wall in boredom.
"It will be over soon." She didn't have to turn her head to know who it was.
"Hardly." She glanced at the blond vampire beside her. "What do you want, Eric?"
"To apologize?" Camilla gave an unladylike snort.
"Unlikely." Eric grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him.
"Listen, Camilla. You need to forget what happ-" Camilla's eyes turned hazy before she shook herself out of her stupor and gave the man a menacing glare.
"I can't believe you!" She brushed his hands from her shoulders. "Why would you even think of trying your weird vampire glamour thing on me?"
"You've hardly said anything to me since we got here."
"So you thought you could just force me to talk to you? You're absolutely ridiculous!"
"Then what's wrong with you? Why won't you talk to me?" She avoided his gaze.
"I've had this feeling that you don't care for me any longer." She breathed in. "I've been thinking that neither of you think of me when you decide things."
"What in the world are you talking about?" She looked at him with a serious look in her eyes.
"Do you still care for me? Do you still care enough for me to tell me what you're going to do?"
"Camilla you have nothing to worry about." Eric looked down on the woman. "Godric loves you."
"I wasn't even talking about Godric's love for me! I was talking about you!" She opened her arms, waiting for his interjection. He said nothing. "Why do you say love with such spite? What's it ever done to you?" The pair stood in silence before Camilla turned around. "I'm going to Godric."
Eric watched as the dark haired woman walked towards his master. "It's because love has taken you away from me."
-x-
"Eric, where's Camilla?" The Viking looked down at the waitress before him and sighed.
"She's with Godric; they are getting themselves reacquainted."
"Reacquainted? What do you mean – oh." Sookie blushed. "Ooooh. I see. Right, reacquainted as in...I get it. Okay." Eric bit back a smirk.
"Is that all? I have something to attend to."
"Right, something to...attend to. I'll talk to you later then." Sookie turned hastily, shaking her head. Walking through the hall, she immediately ran into someone coming out of a room.
"Oh my goodness, Sookie!" The blonde waitress looked up in surprise to find Camilla and Godric in front of her. The darker haired woman bent down to lend Sookie a hand up.
"I was just looking for you, but Eric said you were..." Sookie looked between the two lovers and turned a brighter shade of red. "And anyway, it seems like I found you so it's all good."
Camilla sent Godric a look and the vampire just shrugged his shoulders. "Is there a problem, Sookie?"
"It's nothing really." The blonde waved her hands in the air, nonchalantly. "It's just that everyone here is either a vampire or some freakish human lover – no offence to Camilla 'cause I wasn't including you in that category – and I feel like a total loner."
"Aren't you Mr. Compton's lover, Ms. Stackhouse?" Sookie opened and closed her mouth several times.
"Speaking of Bill, why aren't you with him Sookie? Although you are in Godric's home and are relatively safe, it's still full of vampires and those freakish human lovers you're not quite so fond of."
"He went to get some True Blood from the fridge. But now that you mention it, it has been a while." Camilla stood beside Sookie, linked their arms together, and led her away.
"Let's go find him."
-x-
"What are you finding so interesting?" Camilla nodded as Godric wrapped his arms around her as she continued watching the pair converse.
"Sookie and Bill's relationship is refreshing." Godric chuckled and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Godric, do you know why Lorena is here?"
"I do believe that vampires do not have boundary restrictions unless punished." Camilla turned around in his arms.
"You know what I mean, Godric. Why is she here when Bill and Eric are both conveniently here?" Godric looked into her eyes and answered with complete honesty.
"I do not know." He brushed back several strands of her hair. "I honestly do not know."
"Here is the one who betrayed us." Camilla left Godric's embrace to stand behind him as Isabel kicked Hugo into a kneeling position in front of the sheriff.
"Hugo," Godric stated calmly, "he is your human, is he not?"
"Yes, he is."
"Do you love him?" Isabel stayed silent for a moment.
"I-I...I thought I did..."
"It appears you love him still."
"I do." Isabel let her sadness show. "I'm sorry. But you are my sheriff; do with him as you please."
Godric stayed silent, pondering, and Camilla took his hand. "You are free to go." Camilla nearly smiled as the bruised human before them looked at them in surprise. She could feel everyone's surprise, especially Isabel's, and felt Stan's anger at Godric's decision. "The human is free to go, and do not return. I fear it is not safe for you here." He looked pointedly at Stan.
"This is a travesty."
"This is my verdict." He turned to Eric. "Eric, escort them out. Make sure he leaves unharmed."
"Thank you, sheriff." And with that, everyone returned to what they were previously doing.
"That was nice of you, Godric." Camilla smiled as she sat by his feet.
"I only did what was right." She looked up at him with a smile. "And you sitting on the floor is another thing we need to fix. Come here you!" The dark haired woman squeaked as her lover lifted her up and placed her on his lap. He put tangled his fingers in her hair and brought her closer to him. "I love you."
"The human has been dispatched. I told him not to stop driving until he reaches the Mexican border." Camilla frowned as Eric approached the pair. Trust Eric to come in and ruin a moment.
"Why wouldn't you leave when I first came for you?" Camilla froze as Eric brought up the question that was plaguing her mind.
"They didn't treat me badly. You would be shocked at how ordinary most of them are."
"They do nothing but fan the flames of hatred for us."
"Let's be honest, we are frightening. After thousands of years we haven't evolved. We've only become more brutal, more predatory." Camilla stood up out of Godric's lap – she didn't like where the conversation was going. She backed up out of the room and into the main living room with a hand on her heart.
She could feel the turmoil in Godric. She could feel his indecision, his empathy towards humans. But what frightened her most of all was the feeling of resignation within her lover. She could feel it bubbling beneath the surface of all his inner turmoil. Her legs hit the sofa and she fell back onto it. Her eyes widened as the longer Godric and Eric talked, Godric's indecisiveness slowly ebbed away into something more stable. It was stability that she was frightened of and she could hardly breathe – a resignation towards his end.
The door opened to her right and in came Lorena in a bright, red dress. Her eyes scanned the area and found Camilla on the couch in her weakened state. Camilla glowered at the vampire as she strode up to her.
"Honey, you don't look too good." Lorena smirked down at the human.
"Don't come near me." Camilla was seething, but Godric's emotions were overwhelming her. Lorena leaned over and held her face in her hand.
"I can do whatever the fuck I want, darlin', and you can't do nothing to stop me." Lorena shoved Camilla to the side and headed towards Sookie.
"Ugh, that pretentious twat." Camilla stumbled onto her feet and slowly made her way towards the pair. Bill soon joined them and the conversation quickly became heated. Camilla shook her head and willed Godric's emotions away, but her sight was still blurred. She heard Sookie's angry words and the sound of a body being pushed onto a table. Then she heard Godric. Her head shot up and all she could see was him. Everything else was blurred save for Godric. Her stomach churned as he held Lorena's red blur and talked to her. He turned to who she thought was Bill and ordered him to escort Lorena out of the nest. The pair brushed past Camilla and she nearly threw up. She couldn't handle the thoughts that were circling in her mind.
The nest quickly returned to its former buzz and Camilla took a few breaths. Her vision soon cleared and her breathing went back to normal, but she couldn't shake the sadness in her heart. She looked around and found Godric on the other side of the room, talking to Isabel. She found Sookie's brother chatting up an Asian woman. Her eyebrows furrowed as a man entered the room and pushed Jason away. She stepped closer towards the man and instinctively grabbed a fairly young vampire's arm and pulled him and his friend behind her.
"Excuse me, everyone." The room became silent. "If I could have your attention, my name is Luke McDonald. I'm a member of the Fellowship of the Sun and I have a message for you all," he unzipped his jacket and revealed the explosives and chains wrapped around his body. Camilla's eyes widened. "From Reverend Steve Newlin."
"Oh sweet Lord Jesus," Camilla closed her eyes as the man pressed the trigger.
-x-
"Camilla!" Godric searched frantically for her amid the chaos of mangled bodies and debris. "Camilla!"
"Over here..." He spun in a circle and spotted bloody arm weakly waving in the air.
Growling in frustration, the vampire leapt over what seemed to be furniture to where Camilla was waving from. A portion of the roof had caved in, trapping her beneath it, and all he could see was her arm. He lifted away the wooden beams that held her down and found his lover's body covering a young, male vampire. The vampire seemed only stunned as he stared at his sheriff. "Come along then, help me lift her."
The vampire quickly sat up and helped Godric lift Camilla up, bringing her to a less affected area in the living room. They lay her on what was left of a couch and Godric inspected the damage. She had a deep, jagged cut across her abdomen and was also bleeding in several other areas. "That's going to leave a mark..." Camilla chuckled and wiped the blood that was seeping from her mouth.
"I do not see what is so funny." Godric knelt by her and she struggled to sit up. "Don't get up."
"I'll be fine." She groaned as she sat herself upright. "I just...I just need a shower."
"You will need more than just a shower." His hand hovered over the cut on her stomach. "You will need my help too."
"I know." Godric helped her stand up and they made their way to his room. "Where's Eric?" She looked around and spotted Sookie and Bill by the Viking. The blonde was, unsurprisingly, seething at the taller vampire.
"I'll never do anything for you again!" Sookie latched onto Bill and glared at Eric. Godric and Camilla paused as she stumbled by the trio. She looked up at the 6 foot vampire.
"What'd you do?" She didn't attempt to hide the anger and disappointment in her voice. Eric immediately lost his smirk.
"What happened to you?" Eric took a step closer to his maker and Camilla. She held a hand up to stop his approach.
"I don't need this." She coughed up more blood. She heard Isabel call for everyone's attention behind her.
"Everyone, please!"
"Hey, listen up!"
"They may come back." Godric spoke up as he steadied Camilla with his arms. "Go to the Hotel Camilla. They've been alerted; security's in place."
"I don't think I can walk there Godric." The girl looked at her lover, pain evident in her gaze.
"Then we'll fly." Godric smiled down at her as the other vampires made their way out of what used to be Godric's home.
"I bloody hate flying..."
-x-
Her head was pounding and her heartbeat was racing. As soon as they had arrived, Godric made her drink his blood and the cut on her abdomen had soon nearly ceased to exist. All that was left of it was an extremely faint scar stretching diagonally from her right hip and upwards to the end of her ribcage.
"I need a shower." Camilla had said as soon as her head had quit pounding on its internal drum kit. She looked up at Godric with a grin.
"I think I can arrange that." The dark haired vampire took her hand and gently lifted her from the bed. Placing his arm around her waist, he led her to the hotel's bathroom. Without waiting for him to leave, Camilla started removing what was left of her shirt from her torso. She moved onto unbuttoning her slacks when she turned to face Godric who was simply leaning on the doorframe.
"Is there something that I can do for you?" She continued pulling down her slacks without removing her gaze from the vampire.
"The question is what can I do for you?" Godric smirked as he stepped in the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind him.
"Then what are you just standing there for?" Without even blinking, Camilla found herself pressed against the shower wall. Godric looked into her eyes, a mischievous glint reflecting in the dim shower lights. "Hm, spacious and seating? I wonder what someone would do with all these…amenities."
Godric turned the water on for the showerhead above them, effectively soaking her in her underwear and his fully clothed self. Cupping her between the legs he replied as she moaned, "Why don't we find out then?"
He took off his clothes and threw them into a corner of the shower with a wet slap as she shimmied out of her knickers and bra. He immediately pressed her back onto the wall and inserted a finger into her. He balanced himself by placing his knee on the marble-like shower seats and added another finger. Godric moved his fingers back and forth, mimicking the movement of scissors, as he swirled his tongue in and out of her mouth. Allowing her to breath, he took his thumb and circled it around her clit.
"O-Oh, god!" She threw her head back breathless.
"Almost, Camilla." He abruptly removed his fingers from her. "But not quite." He quickly shoved his whole length into her before drawing himself completely out then thrusting back in.
"Godric!" She nearly screamed in pleasure as she dug her nails into his shoulder.
"Now you've got it." He hooked his arm under her knee as he pushed in faster and harder.
"Ah!" Godric smirked as she pressed her lips against his. He held her hips and brought her down on him harder. "Ah! God!"
"Hm, that's not right." He looked down on his chest which was healing the scratches she trailed seconds earlier. "Seems like I've got to teach you again."
Unhooking his arm from her raised knee, he took that hand and placed it between them. With a smirk he slowly circled her clit with his thumb. She gasped, wide-eyed, as he played with her. "Godric! Oh Godric!"
"Mmhmm." He had already preoccupied himself with sucking on her nipple, but he looked up at her as her eyes closed in ecstasy.
"I think I-"She gasped again. "I think I'm going to-" Godric quickly removed his lips from her breast.
"Look at me, Camilla." She tried to open her eyes, but shut them again as a tremor of pleasure racked through her body. "Come now. I want you to look at me when you come. I want you to scream my name." He pushed even faster as she stared into his eyes. "Yes, that's it."
"Godric!" He moved faster. "Oh Godric!" He felt her tightening around him and he groaned. Finally, she screamed his name as she came and he came seconds after as he felt her milking him. The water was still running as they both tried to catch their breaths.
"I'm not done with you yet, Camilla." He lightly touched her sensitive clit and she squirmed beneath him. "We're nowhere near done." She quickly grasped his wrist as she moved to kneel on the floor.
"Good." Camilla pushed her hair away from her forehead. "'Cause I need to get you back for all of that." She gave him a devious smirk, darting her tongue out to lick him, coaxing his erection back.
