AN:/ I am going to write from now on in mostly third person, but may switch into first person POVs from time to time. I am not very good at writing in third person, but hopefully all will go well. I don't think I will have a bombing in Rhodes, but I will mull over the idea. I was considering possibly introducing Quinn but I might not. There is also no Russell Edgington, as I don't like him.
I can reveal that there will definitely be a big thing coming up that will change al the lives of the characters. Clue: it has to do with a certain Fairy grandfather. Hope you like chapter 10! Enjoy,
Meganiona.
Third person.
Several hours had passed and the plane was due to land in an hour. Freyja woke from a light sleep, her stomach rumbling loudly. Sookie noticed and looked up with a smirk from the book she was reading, ''hungry? I had a chicken sandwich earlier. The food on this plane is much better than on most flights. Hold on.'' She called for the stewardess and asked for a pasta salad for Freyja. The stewardess nodded and asked if they wanted anything else; they politely declined. Freyja had been lying across the sofa and Sookie in the arm chair opposite. She sat up and yawned, using her power to fix her hair and re-gloss her plump lips.
As she waited for the pasta salad, Freyja watched the sky glow pink as the sun set. She looked to Sookie, seeing her staring at the sunset too, looking forlorn. ''What is it, cousin?'' she asked carefully.
Sookie didn't answer straight away. ''it's Sam. We had an argument when I told him that I would be coming here, the other day. He said you were bad for me. I broke it off with him.'' She said, a tear slipping out of her eye as her voice broke on the last word. Freyja got up from her seat and sat on Sookie's lap, her arms around her head. ''Shhhh'' she cooed. ''I'm sorry, Sookie. I don't want there to be problems because of me'' she said, crying too. It was Sookie who was comforting Freyja now.
She felt Godric wake first when the sun was not yet set and Eric followed moments after. Freyja wiped her eyes and sat back in the middle of the sofa while the two coffins burst open. Godric and Eric sat on either side of Freyja, holding her and wondering what was wrong with their siren. They hated it when she cried.
''What is wrong, Min Kara?'' Eric asked. Godric rubbed soothing circles across her back and muttered sweet words in her ear. She sighed, ''I ruin everything. It is always my fault.'' She started crying again and leaned into Godric. ''No it's not, my angel. You are our life now. Without you, we would be lost.'' He said. They held her and purred in her ears, comforting her as only her mates could. She soon felt better. The pasta came and she ate it quickly, stuffing her sorrows with food. The stewardess took the empty plate and used cutlery and left with a smile.
The pilot came over the intercom then, 'Please buckle your seatbelt and remain seated until the plane is landed. Thank you.' They did as the voice said and Sookie picked her book back up, her spare hand gripping the side of the arm chair. She hated flying. Freyja giggled at her, ''Imagine if there was a storm, too.'' She said mischievously. Sookie glared at her and she giggled again. Her vampires chuckled; she was so bi-polar.
Sookie put her book down as the plane began to descend, circling the airport. Her eyes were wide like a doe caught in headlights. Freyja felt a little bad for antagonising her and reached across, putting her hand on Sookie's leg. ''Sookie, breathe. There is nothing to be afraid of. Even if the worst happens, we are with two vampires who can fly. Calm down.'' She said the last two words firmly. Sookie nodded and leaned back into the chair, her body relaxing the smallest amount. Freyja leaned back into Godric and held Eric's hand, smiling at him. She was so very much in love with her vampires.
As the plane bumped down onto the black tarmac, Sookie let out a squeak. Freyja giggled and Godric and Eric chuckled at their mate. Godric couldn't stop looking at her; neither could Eric. They had thought that after the bonding, the attraction would wear down some. It hadn't. They needed her just as much as they had before and were happy to just be near her and see her smile.
The ride to the hotel was mostly uneventful and the vampires felt their lover's boredom, vowing to change that when they got settled at the hotel. Sookie nodded off in the limousine, but Freyja watched the scenery outside in vague curiosity; she had never been to Rhodes. It wasn't so spectacular, she thought. She had been all over Europe; London, Paris, Rome, Berlin; and so Rhodes wasn't that amazing in her eyes. But she had to admit, if she wasn't well travelled she may have wondered at the architecture of the hotel they were staying at. The hotel was shaped like a pyramid, the top ten levels of the building's windows were blacked out for the vampires but the first two levels and lobby were nice and airy.
Sookie woke up and they got out of the limousine and three bell boys came to carry their luggage. Freyja didn't want strangers carrying her bags, so she waved two of them off and let the third carry Sookie's bags. She got her own bags out of the back, but her mates wouldn't have any of that and took them from her. Eric hated the thought of her doing any kind of manual labour, as did Godric.
When they had gotten their key from the reception they headed up to the sixth floor, where their room was. The bell boy followed them up and they greeted vampires that Godric and Eric were acquainted with on the way up. They introduced me as theirs and the vampires soon stopped staring, not wanting to piss the ancients off. One of the vampires told them that the queen wasn't due to arrive until the next morning and Freyja revelled in the fact that they wouldn't have to put up with the bratty child queen until then. She had not yet met the queen, but knew of her reputation.
Sookie was nervous about meeting the queen, and Freyja could tell. Sookie did not know anything about this queen other than she wanted her to work for her. Freyja decided then that she would fill Sookie in later on.
When they got to their room the bell boy placed Sookie's bags at the bottom of the single bed and Godric and Eric went into the adjoining room with Freyja's bags. Their own things would be dropped off and brought up to their room. The room was simple but elegant and Freyja decided she liked it. The biggest room had a kitchenette in and the living room furniture, there was also Sookie's bed in the corner and a bathroom joined on. In the adjoining room were the master bedroom and another bathroom. The bigger room was decorated in burgundy and beige; and the master bedroom was done in golds and reds, which Freyja liked. The bed that the three lovers would be sharing was a double with gold and burgundy silk sheets and a white fur draped over it. Godric and Eric were proud of that touch, but wouldn't admit that it was placed there by their request.
The rest of the night consisted of them unpacking and relaxing a little. The three lovers left Sookie to sleep and went into the master bedroom soon after. They were all needy and wanted each other very much. Eric was the first to make a move, pushing Freyja down onto the silk sheets and pressing his lips against hers with a bruising force. She moaned into his mouth and he took advantage of that by thrusting his tongue inside and swirling it around her mouth. He groaned at the taste of her; sweet like honey. Godric stroked her hair and took in her wondrous scent. She had already taken off the coat and left it in the living. He rolled the dress over her body as Eric pulled her into a standing position, never breaking their heated kiss. As the gentle fabric brushed across her thighs and dropped to the floor, she moaned in the same heavenly voice she had before. Both vampires were hard and their members were pulsing for her heat.
In the blink of an eye, the three were naked and Godric lay underneath Freyja, as she was on all fours above him. He kissed her heatedly as Eric prepared her for his length. Eric groaned at her heat as he slid two long fingers into her. She keened against Godric's neck as she kissed where his pulse would be. The fingers gained a rhythm and she felt her stomach tightening as she sucked Godric's nipple into her mouth. Godric hissed at the pleasure it drew from him and his hips thrust upwards unconsciously. Freyja noticed this and wrapped her small hand around his length and thrust back against Eric's hand as he inserted another finger.
Freyja could feel her orgasm coming and so could he vampires. Eric leaned forward and whispered in her ear words of encouragement, ''yes. That's it. Come for us, Freyja. Come on my fingers.''
Those words were her undoing and she screamed, her fangs extending and her yes glowing red, as she came. Her fingers subconsciously tightened around Godric and he groaned at the pressure. Her tattoos made her way across her supple skin and Eric watched them, fascinated, as he placed himself at her entrance. Freyja had only just come down from her high as Eric's plentiful cock slid into her. She moaned and he wasted no time in letting her adjust to him, pulling out and thrusting back almost instantly. He picked up a steady rhythm and Freyja kissed Godric as she matched Eric's rhythm with her hips and her hand around Godric. Godric used one hand to stroke her hair and the other touched every bit of skin her could reach, needing to feel more of her.
Freyja soon felt Godric's balls tighten slightly and knew his end was near, so she scraped her fangs across his chest and lapped up the blood, purring at the taste. It was heaven to her. Eric's thrusts picked up speed and soon he was pounding into her mercilessly, feeling himself tighten. Godric's fingers worked on Freyja's breasts and nub, caressing gently, and she felt ready to explode. Suddenly Godric's Fingers pinched her nub and she keened loudly, her hand tightening around Godric's cock as her sheath did around Eric's. Godric came first, roaring and biting into her left breath, taking a few gulps of her sweet blood. Eric followed soon after, crying out Norse curses to the night.
The three of them collapsed into a hot pile of limbs and when they had gained back their energy, Godric pulled his angel into his arms and Eric pulled the white fur over the three of them and then wrapped himself over them protectively. And that was how they were when the sun rose to take them.
Surprisingly, Eric and Godric were the first to wake the next night and their angel was till fast asleep inside their embrace. She was wiggling slightly in her sleep and a moan escaped her plump lips. Her bottom lip was swollen from the night before and her hair was tousled. Her perfectly sculptured body was shining under the room's light and they immediately hardened at the sight of her. Eric groaned in frustration, remembering that they would have no time for that tonight; they had to meet his queen soon.
Godric knew this too, and gently shook her awake. She stirred slowly and her bright emerald eyes fluttered open to meet theirs with a smile. She stretched and moaned. ''Is is night already?'' she asked. They nodded, a smirk gracing Eric's Viking lips. She yawned and moved a little. Feeling their cold bodies, she became moist and her vampires growled at the scent. ''Oh, my Freyja we have not time for that right now. We have to dress to see the queen.'' She looked disappointed at first, then happy. ''Okay'' she said and slipped out of the bed, heading into the bathroom.
The three of them showered together, but there was no sexual tension anymore; this was just caring for each other. Godric washed Freyja and Freyja washed Eric. When that was done, they turned and Eric washed Freyja's hair and his own, while Freyja washed Godric's hair and then his body. When his hair was clean, he turned and kissed her gently, and she returned the kiss with a lazy smile curving her lips. She leaned back into Eric and he kissed her scalp and said, ''we love you, Freyja.'' Godric agreed, giving her a peck on the lips.
She replied, ''and I love the two of you. More than I love strawberries, which is a lot so feel privileged.'' She giggled and they both gave manly laughs and picked her up. They were in the closet instantly and they were both drying her with gold towels as she looked at her clothing options. ''What is on the agenda tonight?'' she asked Eric as she dried Godric and Eric dried himself. Well, we have to meet the queen soon and then we will be going to a meeting, I suppose. After that there will be a convention where vampires show off their money and technology.'' He answers dryly as he picked out clothes from the things that had arrived during the day. Godric did the same. Freyja chose a purple silk dress that she had bought the other day. It was strapless and hugged her curves, ending not far above the knee. (AN:/ see profile please.) She wore silver heals with the dress and had her hair up in a French twist with a few stray curls framing her face. She wore thin eyeliner and mascara, and a purple eye shadow that made her green eyes 'pop'. Clear lip gloss and a small amount of light pink blusher finished off the look and she walked back into the master bedroom where her mates were waiting.
Godric and Eric readied themselves in the master bedroom and dressed. Eric wore Black trousers and a dark purple button down shirt, with black loafers. Godric wore the same but a lighter shade of purple and grey trousers. They both looked stunning and Freyja smiled wide when she saw them. When she walked into the room they were momentarily stunned at her beauty but all three laughed when they noticed that they matched.
Sookie was waiting for them in the living area and she wore a light blue gown that ended at her knees and had a strap over one shoulder. She also had her hair up in a twist but made sure not a hair was out of place. She wore silver heels also and giggled when she saw Freyja was wearing the same.
They all headed out, Sookie and Freyja in the middle, Godric on Sookie's side and Eric on Freyja's, to prevent anyone trying to get to them. Freyja rolled her eyes at their protective natures but internally smiled. She loved it when they worried for her. They soon made it to the queen's suite, two floors below there's and saw two of her guards; Wybert and Sigbert; waiting outside of the door. Eric took care of them, telling them they had business with the queen and that she was expecting us. They checked in with her, of course, but finally let us in.
The queen's room was overly decorated and she had obviously brought her own furnishings with her. The queen herself was lounging on a chair watching a group of humans play cards. She looked away when they came in and clapped in delight. She sat up and Eric bowed, being the only one under her rule. Freyja and Sookie gave a light curtsey, showing respect but not submission. The queen got the picture. Godric just nodded to her, and the queen returned it, fearing him slightly. He was several times her age, after all. Her child, Andre cam to stand behind her protectively, but she waved him off. He backed up but did not leave completely. ''My favourite sheriff! I'm so glad to see you. And you have brought you woman along with you maker. How lovely. Come sit down.'' She had a nasally voice that annoyed Freyja but she kept a happy smile of her face and sat next to Sookie, between her mates.
''so, down to business, I have need of the human, Eric, to read the other vampires. For caution, you understand.'' Freyja answered. ''Your Grace, this woman is my cousin and is under my protection. She has conceded to helping you during the summit, but will play no further part in vampire politics. I hope you understand this.'' The queen thought for a second, and then got pissed.
''and who, or what, are you to tell me that I can't use the human?'' she asked. ''Well firstly, she is not fully human, and neither am I. I am a siren and part fae, and my cousin is part fae also. We are also descended from the Fae Prince and I doubt he would like you forcing his Great granddaughters to work for you against their will.'' She stated calmly.
Eric was shocked, but hid it well. Godric, however, had assumed as much already. Sookie turned to her cousin, gaping like a fish. ''How do you know this?'' she asked. ''I spoke to him once, when I was young. He said he would come for us one day; that we had something important to do for him.'' I explained. She thought and then nodded.
The queen was even angrier, but after a while, she wisely nodded. ''very well, Freyja. I will not take your cousin against her will.'' Freyja nodded back at the queen and Sookie smiled, a little too smugly. Freyja relaxed into Eric's embrace as they all talked politics for a few more moments. Freyja noticed Andre was staring at her, curiosity and lust gleaming behind his cold eyes. She shivered and Godric noticed Andre's stare. As did the queen. ''Back off, child. She belongs to the Viking and his maker.'' She warned. He stared for a few more moments, earning a warning growl from Eric and Godric stood behind Freyja for protection. Finally Andre left the room and Freyja relaxed once more.
The queen told Sookie of her task, to listen out for thoughts that concerned the queen, and then they left for the convention.
The convention was boring and Eric and Godric never left their mate's side. They introduced her as their mate to the vampires they held in high regards. She was introduced to some of the vampire royalty and acted with the prefect grace and elegance. Soon, she was the best topic of convocation and the vampires and humans all spoke of her in positive manor. She had won them over, and her vampires were very proud. She was bored though, and they could tell so they went back to the queen, where Sookie was and asked how much longer Sookie would be needed for. Sophie Anne let her leave after a glance from Freyja and they headed upstairs to their room once again. They all changed and Sookie and Freyja showered quickly, before they retired to their beds. The sun came up about an hour later, as the lovers were talking quietly, curled up in each other's arms.
The next day, Freyja woke at about two in the afternoon and dressed in jeans and a white blouse. She had her hair in a plait over one shoulder and her makeup was simple. Sookie was waiting when she came into the sitting room, barefooted, and they decided to head out to go sightseeing for the day. Freyja left a note for her mates and kissed each of them before leaving the hotel suite.
Sookie and Freyja picked up some leaflets in the lobby and hailed a cab outside of the hotel. The told the driver to drop them at the nearest Italian that does breakfast. He said he knew a great one ten minutes away and set off. Freyja was wearing white flats and had a black purse with her money, cell, and the leaflets in. She took them out and the two women looked over them all. After a while they decided to go to the theme park on the outskirts of the city instead of going to the museum. Freyja had begged Sookie to go there and she finally said yes. When the driver pulled up, Freyja thanked him for the ride and paid him, and then the two girls got out and entered the Italian diner. It was quaint and had a nice atmosphere to it. It was also not far from the theme park and so they walked in and ordered a simple breakfast each. As they ate, they talked about their past experiences with theme parks. Sookie had only been to one once, during high school and hated it because she was sick on the fist rollercoaster; but Freyja promised she would make sure she had a better time today.
They hailed another cab and went to the park, it was only 25 minutes away from the diner and they got out and paid the driver. They had a great time at the park, riding rollercoasters and playing fair games. It was like they were regaining the childhood that they had missed together. They ate candy floss and hot dogs and when the sun began to set, they hailed a cab back to the hotel. They got there just after sun set and rushed up to the room. Freyja had left a note but she knew they would worry nonetheless.
They got into the room and Freyja's vampires were on the sofa waiting for them. They turned to the women, astonished. They were tousled and had candy floss in their hands. They both had red cheeks and looked giddy. They giggled when they saw the vampires staring, confused and Freyja explained, ''we went to a theme park.'' They looked astonished for a moment longer before bursting into laughter. The girls rolled their eyes and Freyja asked Eric what they had to do tonight. ''We have to go to some of the vampire trials and meet with the important vampires.'' She nodded in thanks and went to get ready. When she came out she was wearing a knee length, silk dress that was strapless. (AN:/see profile) With it she wore a white fur shawl that brushed gently against her skin as she walked and made her want to moan with the pleasure of such a simple thing. She wore black stilettos and had a black clutch in her hands. She had her hair the same as the night before and wore smoky eye makeup.
The vampires were momentarily lost in her and watched her walk to Sookie and inspect her royal blue dress. ''wow, Sook. You look amazing.'' Sookie laughed, ''so do you, but you already knew that.'' Sookie replied with a wink. Freyja laughed and they both turned to the men, who stood and kissed their siren on the cheek.
All four of them made their way downstairs together and were excited to see that they would be fashionably late. When they walked into the hall that the trails would be held in, every pair of eyes turned on them. They were all looking their best and smiled at the others in the room before taking their places near the ancient pythoness, whose blind eyes were following them, though they could not see. The ancient one had a small smile on her lips; as if she knew something that nobody else did, and she probably did.
Once they were seated, the trails begin. The first two cases were boring; one vampire was killed for biting another vampire's mate, another vampire got to kill a werewolf for raping his biological sister. Freyja was pretty bored by this point, but the next case was more interesting; a female vampire accused her nest mate of killing her human but had no proof of it. It was interesting because the ancient one's powers were called into action. All eyes were on the Pythoness whose blind eyes were glowing red, like Freya's did when she went full-siren. After several tense moments, the red left her eyes and she spoke. Her voice was strong and clear, surprisingly. ''He is guilty of killing another vampires human. He will be sentenced to death by stake.'' She turned her head to the female vampire and said, ''you may be the executioner my dear. I am sorry for your loss.'' She said this with a hint of sympathy in her tone that made Freyja wonder what she herself had suffered in the way of love.
The vampire staked the other very fluidly and it was over. As the other vampires left the hall to mingle, the ancient one beckoned them to come to her. So they did. When they were stood in front of her they all bowed/ curtseyed to show her respect. ''Freyja Adrianna Black. I had wondered when I would have the honour of meeting you. You are destined for great things my dear one.'' Freyja's eyes went wide at this and her mates held her closer. ''And you, Miss Stackhouse. You will be by her side... along with her vampires, of course.'' She said. They held Freyja tighter.
''Thank you, Ancient One.'' Freyja said, and Sookie repeated the line. The pythoness nodded and said, ''Come to my room on the top floor in one hour. There will be someone waiting to finally meet you all.'' She told them cryptically.
They all accepted the invitation and left the hall to go to their own room and prepare.
