Disclaimer: -I own nothing but Arianna and Alex…. unfortunately.

As promised yesterday…

Enjoy : )

**Godric's POV**

I was quite conflicted at the moment. In a way I felt nothing more than interest, curiosity, and amusement at what my childe had told me after buying some of the infamous True Blood. That alone was enough to elicit a smile from me. With all of Eric's reputation, after all, I was just glad I held back the small chuckle that had threatened to fall from my lips.

Then again, part of me was still quite curious, but very weary if nothing else. The synthetic blood was bottled and mass produced for our needs, our consumption. If what Alex, I remembered her name was, said about us here were true, why would such a thing be sold? I seriously doubted they should even exist. And interestingly enough, without even any blood, but a type of human drink. Why?

Of course I was curious. I was intrigued just as my progeny had been. How could I not?

Now, I couldn't help but think of both girls inside. Did they know about this? I had a feeling they did, but more importantly… Were they planning on telling us? Of that, I couldn't be sure. And as much as they must have their reasons for what they divulge and what they don't, it just served to remind us we could not afford to trust or grow attached to a couple of strangers. No matter how kind, nonthreatening, or even helpful they have been to us, although even Eric wouldn't admit it, strangers they still were.

I mentally smiled at the thought of the two young girls inside. They were quite definitely an… interesting duo. Alex was a lot more outspoken. That much was obvious. She was blunt and to the point, yet there was still a way about her that let you know how smart she was and that you probably wouldn't want her against you. In a way she reminded me of Eric. Even in those few precious moments before his own death, he was nothing but the strong wielded, smart, cunning, fighter that he still is now. She seemed so similar. In fact, I bet she would take on a guy twice her size and built without even thinking it over if she had to.

Then there was Arianna. I honestly don't think I've met anybody like here in that last four hundred years or so. She was so shy, blushing at every little thing. It wasn't annoying like I usually thought of those that did, it was endearing. Where her friend spoke out she was right there backing her up, even when it was clear she didn't want to. I got a feeling she would have actually liked nothing more than to quiet her herself. It made me laugh to think of such a gentle looking person, somebody that would rather just stay out of anything if possible, having such a powerfully seeming temper. It made me think she wouldn't exactly be anywhere near nice and kind if pushed far enough. There was just something about her, something about those two beautiful green orbs of hers that just made me want to get closer. I couldn't help but feel like I wanted to know more, feel more, wanted more, be more.

I shook myself before my thoughts caused something to happen that I would soon regret. As it so happens, however, even if I acted on such an impulsive nature nothing would come of it; nothing good that is, nothing positive to benefit me and even more so not her. Who would actually want to be closer to monster like me? I might have been stopped from following my plan through recently before this turn of events occurred, but that doesn't change anything. Being this monster, this beast, is something I'll always be.

"Godric?"

It seems I was far too lost in my train of thought. Eric has not only looking a bit annoyed but worried as well. I couldn't help the sudden burst of true emotions that surged through me knowing that I, along with Pamela, was still able to get suck reactions from the former Viking royalty.

"I am fine, my childe. I was merely thing, a bit to intensely I suppose." I said with a small grin.

I knew he wasn't amused, although I could sense his relief, and just continued to stare expectantly awaiting the answer I had long delayed.

"Do not worry, Eric. We will figure this out. All we are to do at the moment, though, is wait. We must think of what has actually happened. I have no doubt that some source of magic was used. We must think of everything else that applies and do our best here while we remain."

"And what of the humans?" he said slightly glaring towards the house.

"Those two girls are of no threat to us. They have shown great generosity for which you should be grateful. Or have you forgotten that even with our speed we would have surely been outmatched by the sun had it not been for their help?"

"You should not be so trusting."

"And you should not be so thick headed & quick to judge." I countered quickly to remind him of his place.

"Apologies, Master, but do you honestly think we can trust our lives in the hands of two little girls? Their kind is deceitful, only ever carrying of their own selfish needs. They turn on their own all the time. Who's to say they won't do the same to us?"

"You are right, my childe, they are. But when you truly think about it, are we not the same? They are young and strong willed, but I have hope that like much more of the younger generations that they are also open minded. They have done nothing wrong, so we have no right to assume or judge. And yes, for now at least, I believe we can trust them."

"I do not trust them." he said while continuing to glare down the house.

"I understand, but do not lie to yourself. I know as well as you do that you find them interesting as well as feel gratitude for their actions." I said letting him absorb everything. "Don't dwell on it for too long, though; I have a feeling that all four of us will be spending time together for a while."

We continued to just stand there for a moment while Eric still clearly didn't seem to agree.

"You know, that if you honestly wish to leave and figure this out on your own, you only need to say so."

"Master, I wouldn't want to leave even if given the chances." he replied quickly.

"I know you wouldn't, but if that is what you truly wanted I would not want to hold you back." I said, and it was true. I would never want to force him into anything.

"No. I wish to stay by your side."

"I could always go with you. If that is what you want?"

"No." he said quickly. "Godric, your judgment means more than you know. If yours tells you we will be safe he, than I will stay by your side and figure this out, even if that means dealing with the humans."

I really was glad that I chosen him as my child. All these years and yet his loyalty had never wavered, never faltered. Not one bit at all. I felt like the luckiest maker in the world to have him as mine.

With that we both walked back inside to find that both were apparently arguing over something.

"It's gonna work."

"No it's not." Arianna said looking annoyed.

"Yes it is." Alex said looking just as aggravated.

"Yeah right 'it's gonna work.' You'll just get us caught with such a stupid idea!"

"Oh, well sorry to have come up with such a 'stupid idea'. I didn't see you coming up with anything!"

"Oh please! Anything would be better than that!"

"Well then, by all means. Oh wait, that's right. You haven't been doing anything but standing around like an idiot waiting for me to say something!"

"Don't call me an idiot, you fucking retard!" she said surprising me when she actually smacked her upside the head. I guess I was right about her having a temper. "And how could I NOT just wait for you to say something, huh? You're the one who's always running her big mouth! I'm surprised you even catch a word of it yourself with how fast you word vomit flies out!"

Just then, Eric cleared his throat beside me and they both shot around faster than I'd seen humans move in a while.

"What!" they both screamed.

I didn't let anything show but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't so surprised. For a couple of seemingly nice and calm girls they sure didn't have a problem with getting in each other's faces. They did, however, take a deep breath and calm down slightly once they'd registered, even though I could still see it in their body language and eyes how riled up they'd gotten.

"Sorry 'bout that." Arianna said, the first one to speak up. "We were… discussing something else." she said glaring towards Alex.

"We noticed." Eric said with his typical smirk.

"Yes, well, we wouldn't have been 'discussing' anything if she wasn't so god damn stubborn." she said glaring back.

"I'm not being stubborn, you twit. I'm being realistic. Something you obviously never learned." she surprisingly snapped back.

"You worry too much. You'll see and it'll all be fine." Alex said brushing it.

Arianna only turned around and gave her a cold narrowed glare I didn't think she was capable of.

"If we get caught, you better swear to god that you learn to sleep with one eye open."

I couldn't help but smirk, as I noticed Eric even raise an impressed eyebrow, at the threat as all three of us watched her walk away and glare the entire way up the stairs. Her friend was left standing, shocked to say the least. I honestly would have never thought the innocent little girl I'd been seeing could scream at anybody let alone threaten someone. Now the only question floating through my mind was "What were they planning?"

Don't forget to review!

-I hope you guys like this part two of my special treat from me to you. I decided to spice things up a little further as part of the treat by giving you guys a look at Godric's mind in this one. One of you guys asked for more romance, so I added what I thought would prove the slowly but surely growing feeling there. Hell I even added in Ari's little temper. Honestly, though. Haven't you guys ever noticed that sometimes the quiet ones really are the ones you should watch out for? Well, I just thought that nice or not, everyone has there limits. Unfortunately, poor her is reaching hers.
