This song is from Plumb, called Blush Only You. It's the theme song for my story, as well as a few others which I will include later. I found this story when someone online is making a perfect video of Godric and a girl called Annabel from a story called Destined to Collide. It's soooooo uber romantic! I love that song so much, so I make this story. Please enjoy this story while you listen to this song. I'm sure it shall move you to tears, or else it shall move your heart and you will find yourself smiling soon.
Nocte 10: The Sun
When you looked at me I start to blush,
And all that I can see is you and us,
Oh baby, I'm so afraid to be in love,
With you.
Haa...yeah...
Haa...yeah...
I wanna be in love with only you,
I wanna watch the sky turn grey then blue,
I wanna know the kiss that's always new
I wanna be in love with only you...
Yeah...Only you...
Stars are falling dark, it'll light the way,
Will hit the ground and fall into the shade,
I'll light the night with fire and I'll run away,
With you...
Haaa...Yeah...
Haaa...Yeah...
I wanna be in love with only you,
I wanna watch the sky turn grey then blue,
I wanna know the kiss that's always new,
I wanna be in love with only you...
Yeah...Only you...
Just want you for myself,
Don't want anybody else to have you,
Oh...
Want you right next to me,
I want you baby, yeah...
Oh...
I wanna be in love with only you,
I wanna watch the sky turn grey then blue,
I wanna know the kiss that's always new,
I wanna be in love with only you...
Yeah...Only you...
Yeah...
"Do you have any idea what fucking shit you have done? And who has to fucking clean all those mess up? Me. And it's not my problem, yours!"
"Don't talk to Godric that way…" Eric hisses, and glares at the woman sitting in front of him
Nan Flanagan glares him back. "Don't talk to me that way. Let's get to the point. How do they manage to abduct you?"
"I offered myself," Godric said to her.
"Why?" Nan said in a very disgusting manner.
"Why not?" Godric rebuked her.
"They wanted you to meet the sun and you are willing? You are out of your mind."
"I'll take full responsibilities," Godric said, his expression neutral.
"You cold bitch," Eric said to her.
"This is a national disaster," Nan said, ignoring Eric. "Sheriff, you fucked up. You're fired."
"I remove myself from all positions of authority," Godric said, and Lara flanked his sides and touches his shoulders.
"Works for me," Nan said, happy that they have came to a conclusion.
"Godric rescues me from a really large rapist. He rescues human too. He could have been a 100 times worse. You should thank him!" Sookie interrupted the meeting, feeling that she owes Godric one for saving her life.
"For his piss poor judgment?" Nan Flanagan hissed, earning Eric's wrath.
"Eric!" Godric started, stopping his son from doing further mess. "Doesn't matter."
"Godric," Lara said, calling him back from his little reverie. He ignores her and squeezes her hand.
"Tell me about the bombing please. Every single detail," Nan said, starting the meeting and had someone write it down in details.
"First I have something to say. I'm sorry, I apologize for all the harm I've caused, for our lost ones, human and vampire. I will make amends. I swear," Godric said.
"Take it easy, it's just a few signatures…" Nan said to him.
"Look into my eye, Eric," Godric started, comforting his child.
"There's nothing to say, Godric. Please," Eric started.
"Lara, follow me," Godric start. Lara is surprised with the way he is calling her name, and moves quickly to his side. He guides her into his room and pulls her to him, kissing her strongly.
Lara knew what it meant. Him kissing her this passionate is like a last kiss goodbye. She don't want it.
He is dying.
She pulls herself away from him and backed away.
"Godric," Lara warned, backing herself further away from the advancing Godric, a determined look on his face as he stares at her sadly. "Godric, you gave me your word that you won't ever glamour me. You gave me your word! You can't do this to me!"
"Then I am sorry that I have to break them," Godric said sadly, getting closer to her as she stumbles slightly on her pathway. He had backed her into the corner he wanted her to be most when he glamour her. He knew she would put up a great fight for her complete consciousness, and he wanted to be able to brace himself for it. "I truly am sorry, Lara. I'm sorry I have to do this."
"Don't be sorry if you want to do this to me!" Lara spat, rounding behind a table to be used as a shield, but Godric uses his enormous strength as a 2000 year old vampire and lifted it off the way as if it weighed no more than a feather, continuing his advancement on her with slow, determined steps.
"If you do this then there is nothing we can ever talk about anymore!" Lara exclaimed, trying to make a run towards the other side of the room, but knowing that it would be fruitless with Godric's vampire's speed. Nature couldn't help her now. There is nothing elemental in this hotel room except for water, but it couldn't stop the vampire for long. She couldn't bear with herself either if she hurts him. "Godric, please. Make sense in what you're thinking. If you die, then every peace would cease to exist. You know how vampires are; they're bloodthirsty and they're stuck up ass who thinks they're the epitome of existence. Godric, listen to me! Stop this! You gave me your word!"
She gasped in surprise when her back came into contact with the wall of a corner. Utilizing the distraction provided by the walls and the knowledge that she has surrounded herself with walls, Godric lunges towards her and pulled her face up to his, kissing her deeply and passionately. Making use of her open mouth from her surprise earlier, he plunges his hot tongue into her sweet cavern, open and all his for the taking anytime he wanted them. She sighed heavenly into the kiss and closes her eyes, wrapping her arms behind his back and holding him close to her as he glided his tongue in and out of her mouth.
Breaking the kiss suddenly, Godric seizes her delicate face in both of his hands and forces her surprised eyes to stare into his.
"You are tired," Godric said slowly, drawing her gaze and concentration into his while he glamour her. "You wanted to sleep."
Lara lets out a sob and wrenches his hands away from her face. The deed has been done. Whether she wants to or not, she'll succumb to his words soon enough.
Backing away from Godric, Lara stumbles her way and slammed her hand on top of a countertop to stabilize her swaying body. A jar of glass flowers fell out of the way and slammed onto the floor in billions of tiny little pieces. Surprised by the sudden sound, Lara accidentally steps onto a pile of the broken glass and gasped in pain.
Almost instantaneously, Godric came to her side and carries her bridal styled into the bathroom, settling her on the counter while he quickly crouch down to examine her wounded feet. Through the blood bond, Godric could make out sadness and sorrow, one of a degree that he had never experiences on anyone else before. It wrenches on his cold dead heart to know that he is the source of her sorrow.
Biting onto his palm, Godric smears his blood all over her injured feet and the wounds disappears one by one with the healing power from his blood.
"Don't make me sleep, Godric," Lara said hoarsely, swallowing hard while trying to reach for the tap water to splash her face awake. Godric, however, stops her in doing so and held her face in his, kissing her deeply again to distract her. Knowing that he is doing so, Lara pushes him away with all her strength and succeeded in getting Godric tumbles back into the bathtub, appearing much too surprised with her sudden strength and lets his guard down.
Getting down from the bathroom counter, Lara stumbles her way out of the bathroom in a daze and found Eric Northman standing in the middle of the room, looking grave and serious.
"Eric…" Lara went to the Viking gratefully, clinging to his broad shoulders while her legs seemed to fold beneath her body like jelly. The Viking's arms shot out around her waist and held her almost limp form up with one single arm around her waist. "Eric…please…stops him…I don't want to sleep…he'll die…"
Eric's sad gaze moves slowly towards Godric, who emerges from the bathroom with a grim expression o his face. "Godric…"
When Godric's gaze moves to Eric's, his progeny gave a slight nod and stepped out of the way, unwilling to look at Lara's betrayed expression. "No…" Lara said sadly, shaking her head slowly from side to side while she is left to fend for herself from Godric's advances. When the ancient vampire uses his vampire speed to appear suddenly in front of her, all she manages is a chocked "No!" before the vampire holds her face gently in his.
Looking deeply into her eyes, Godric said slowly and coaxingly, "Lara…you have to sleep…"
"Godric…" Lara speaks softly, her eyes slowly starting to close while her tears leaks out from her molten light brown eyes. "Please…don't do this…don't…"
"I have to, Lara…" Godric said sadly, his fingers brushing her blonde bangs away from her delicate face. Kissing her eyes, Godric whispers to her, "I love you so much, Lara… I love you so very much…"
"I…" Lara murmured, her words starting to sound incoherent. Godric smiles sadly while watching her tears fall freely from her eyes, knowing that she still tries to fight the power of his words. "I don't want to sleep without you…"
Leaning in to kiss her forehead lovingly, Godric murmurs sweet nothings into her ear lovingly, satisfied with the sound of her gradually slowing pulse. It means that she is succumbing to her given command. When her knees finally gave out beneath her, Godric lifts her into his arms and places her on the bed, his arms on each side of her face, awaiting for her to finally fell asleep while leaning back in to whisper by her ear, "Then I will be here with you until you fall asleep…"
"Godric…don't..." Lara tries shaking her head, but all she manages is furrowing her brow and cries silently. With tremendous will power, Lara lifts her hand up and cradles Godric's face in hers. "Don't leave me, please…I love…I love you, Godric …You are my one and only love…"
Touched with her slurring sincere words, Godric leans in and kisses her passionately, deepening the kiss almost sadly and reluctantly when he felt her hand slides off his face and fell heavily onto the bed. Releasing her lips, Godric leans away and finds her already slumbering heavily, her beautiful bright eyes closes peacefully, tears leaving wet trails to the side of her face.
Using his thumbs to wipe her tears off her face, Godric kisses her forehead lovingly and lifts up the bed covers from besides her, tucking her in and watches as she slumbers deeply from the power of his glamour. Leaning in for the last time, Godric inhales her intoxicating scent and kisses the side of her neck before wrenching himself off of her with great difficulty.
"You obviously loves her a great deal, Godric. I don't understand why-" Eric begun, but is stopped by Godric, who held up a hand and stopped the Viking from saying anything.
"On the roof, Eric."
The Viking had no choice but to follow his maker's command. Like a kicked puppy, Eric follows behind silently.
On the rooftop of Hotel Carmilla, Godric stood with an intent look in his grey blue orbs, watching the sky gradually brightens with the morning light. The view from the topmost floor of this particular vampire-friendly hotel, one of the tallest buildings in Dallas, Texas, is most breathtakingly beautiful. He wondered briefly to himself just how long he would be able to enjoy the sun's golden warm rays before he diminishes into nothing but ashes with his age. He knew, at 2100 years old, it wouldn't be long before he becomes nothing but ashes.
For the many lives and the peace he so longed with the world, he is ready to be a martyr.
"2000 years is enough…" Godric said resolutely, his gaze not leaving the beautiful city.
"I can't accept this," Eric said almost angrily after a long moment of silence, his voice cracking slightly with fear and sadness that he will never admit throughout his life as a vampire. He had seen what Godric had done to his most beloved human companion, and as his progeny, he knew he won't have enough time to coax his maker from commanding him off the roof. Taking a deep breath, the Viking continued almost hesitantly in regards of the precious amount of time left for him to win over his maker, "Its insanity."
"Our existence is insanity," Godric said calmly, his sad eyes sweeping the city he would no longer be able to see after a few moments. Turning his head slowly towards his progeny standing not far from behind him, watching his every movement, he continued in a soft tone, "We don't belong here."
"But we are here!" Eric retorted angrily, his gaze staring hard at his maker.
"It's not right," Godric said almost hopelessly, feeling guilty that he is causing his child so much pain. "We're not right."
Down below the hotel rooms, Lara's fingers twitched occasionally, fighting the power of the ancient vampire's words and command. Attempting to wake up on her own, Lara's brows furrowed deeply while sweat started to form on her forehead. With a small whimper, Lara moves her limbs and head and fought with Godric's glamouring, swallowing hard and giving her all in trying to wake up.
The Viking Vampire stood there with his thoughts in turmoil, attempting to talk his maker out from making a grave mistake. He had watched his once merciless maker's eyes changes from cold to warm and loving when he watches the Lara girl stood by his side, and now that the ignorant Fellowship of the Sun turns up and create havoc with the vampires, his maker's eyes turns from warm to sad. He couldn't comprehend that his maker would not understand the fact that his sacrifice for the peaceful world and for the people doesn't make any sense, and that even with his death, the Viking is sure that nobody would pay any mind with him gone. In fact, with the 2000 year old vampire gone, they would be extra happy with the news and – hell – maybe they'll celebrate his death with more deaths of vampires.
True, his maker had turned him into a vampire because he is dying, but it is also because Godric thought that it would be such a waste of life for someone like Eric to die just like that. Godric had asked him if he would like to be the companion of Death, and that if he would walk with him through the world and through the darkness, and in return, Godric would give him life, and he did it. That time, Eric knew he had meant if he would be with him forever, and now, the Viking's no longer sure if his maker had meant forever or for a while.
"You told me that there is no right or wrong," Eric argued stubbornly. "Only survival or death…"
"I told a lie," Godric said forlornly, his sad eyes watching his progeny gradually breaks down in front of him. "As it turns out"
For over 2000 years, he had lived in the dark side of the world, constantly running away from the fatal rays of the sun and light. For over 2000 years, he had never thought about wanting to feel the sun's warmth on his skin, because he had never thought about meeting the sun, and only of living. Now that the thought had crossed his mind, there is nothing that could stop him from wanting to feel the sun on his cold icy skin. The thought about the sun made him excited, and that very thought hardens his determined gaze on his child.
Lara continues to force herself to wake up, throwing her head from side to side and trashing on the bed wildly. She had gained back the control of her limbs and head, and all that has left is her torso. She couldn't even feel it when she tries to move herself up from the bed, as if it is not her body she is currently sleeping in. It felt so heavy, and it chains her down to the bed. Biting her lips hard until it draws blood, Lara gave herself a long hard push, and the next thing she knew she is tumbling off the bed onto the hard carpeted floor of Godric's room. Feeling triumphant, Lara bolted upright and makes a dash for the door, hoping dearly that she made it in time to save him.
"I will keep you alive by force!" Eric hissed his words, his icy blue eyes glowering down at the much shorter Godric.
"Even if you could," Godric said softly to his child, not wanting to upset him further than he already is. "Why would you be so cruel?"
Almost instantly, Eric's facial features changed. He knew he couldn't make his maker see his point, but he didn't know that his maker no longer requires his opinion regarding his life anymore. The thought about that distressed the Viking greatly, and he is left staring at his maker hopelessly.
"Godric, don't do it," Eric said timidly in their ancient Swedish tongue, not ashamed to let his fear spreads through the blood bond and into his maker.
The sky gradually brightens, signaling the rapid rising of the sun. "There are centuries of love and faith between us," Godric replied in the same Swedish tongue fluently, looking intently at his Viking child.
His maker promised forever, not centuries!
What are centuries to a vampire? Nothing. Living forever is what he had promised with the Viking, and now that he felt the weight of the years on him he decided with himself that he could just walk away and meet the sun. True, they have lived hundreds of years, hunting humans as prey and drain them off their blood. That is what keeps a vampire alive, and that is what they are going to do despite the stupid True Blood product that had been put on sales and display racks in supermarkets. In Eric's opinion, vampires can never go 'vegetarian'. Godric took them years back and stopped feeding on humans, and when he lose control and sipped on his little human, he went insane with the ideas of meeting the sun and sacrificing his years and years of life as a vampire.
Why can't he think in a good way? Why can't his maker just think of it in a good way? Think in a way that in order to not waste those thousands and millions of humans who have died just so that he could continue to exist as a vampire that he abandons his thoughts of suicide? It's so simple, and his maker is beyond intelligent, so why can't he think of that?
But he did not. Godric watches as the blood tears leaked from his eyes and stained the whites of his eyes, clouding his blue irises in swirls of red. Crushed, Eric lowered his head sadly and wept, begging his maker still, "Please! Please…"
The Viking falls to the ground and kneels before Godric, his head brushing the ancient vampire's linen pant. Godric puts his hand behind his progeny's head and brushed his kempt blonde hair. "Please, Godric…"
Godric forces himself to look way from his heartbroken progeny. "Father, brother, son…"
As hard as he is trying, Godric couldn't bear to look away from his progeny, and he glanced down at him. "Let me go," the older vampire said almost pleadingly.
Running up the stairs desperately, Lara moved as fast as her legs could carry her in her half-slumbering body and cursed the damn lift for being so slow and forcing her to take the stupid stairs. Damn this hotel for their many floors that slows down the lift when she needed it most. Her lungs burned and screamed for her to take a lungful of oxygen, her mind urged her to rest and ignore everything, Godric's command echoes in her mind louder and louder as the moment goes by, but she huffed shortly and clutched at her chest hard, willing her body to not stop by sheer adrenaline force. She couldn't afford to stop right now. If she stops, then Godric will leave her fore-
A door slammed open at the 13th floor, surprising Lara enough for her to emit a yelp of surprise before forcing herself to skid to an emergency break before she slams her face into the opened door. The surprise allows her to take a few deep breaths to satiate her lungs demands of oxygen, and she made a mistake of standing there while she watches Nan Flanagan waltz in and shuts the door behind her with a fake sweet smile accompanied with a dangerous glint in her eyes. Lara noted to herself almost fearfully that her smile looked almost predatory-like.
She didn't like it.
"Miss Flanagan," Lara spoke politely, addressing the vampire with a slight nod of her head while trying to inch back towards the stairs. "I would love to stay for a chat, but I am in a serious predicament right now that desperately needed my presence-"
The bad feeling she is experiencing deep in her heart, mind and soul proves to be correct when the female vampire took a hold of one of her arms and slammed her into the concrete wall hard, her head receiving the blunt force and spilt open the sides of her forehead with blood pouring out almost instantly. Fear bubbled from within her mind and surged in her soul while pain erupted in the form of an intense throbbing in her head, feeling as though her brain has been smashed inside her very skull.
"No wonder Godric fought tooth and nail to hide you from me…" Nan Flanagan said in a sweet tone, pulling up Lara by her hair while she gritted her teeth to not cry out at the sheer power of pain she is suffering right at this moment. With a long lick at her bloodied forehead, Nan Flanagan sighed in wonder and whispers into her ear, pushing her long heavy blonde hair aside, "Why, dear, you taste so sublime! You even smell a hundred times more delicious than that Sookie Stackhouse. How nice. The world and vampires would fight the suns and moons for you, Lara Elfreya… Your taste is worth so many suns…"
Both maker and progeny snapped their heads up at the first line of fear surging through the blood bond, their eyes widened in alarm when they heard a short cut off scream down the stairs that sounded so familiar that if they would have a beating heart, they would have burst out of their ribcage in fear.
"Stay with the human," Godric said briefly before he disappeared through the flights of stairs. Halfway down to the basement, Godric is overpowered by an intense wave of blood mixed with the fine mouthwatering lily-like scent. Shutting his inner demon into its cage, Godric surged forward and came to a stop in front of several crouching vampires surrounding Lara, hauling two of them off their prey and straight out to the sun, hoping that they will burn in the sun. The rest of the feeding vampires – 3 of them left – appeared almost ignorant of Godric's presence, except for the telltale grip that they had tightened on Lara's bloodied body when Godric first pulled two vampires off her and the fact that their sucking increased insistently did not escape the ancient vampire's superb hearing and observation. It was as if they hoped to suck extra two or three drops before being hauled off the ancient vampire's possible human companion.
Anger swept through him and he lost control, snapping two of the vampire's neck quicker than he had ever done in centuries, their heads rolled onto the ground while their blood – their precious blood belonging to Lara – sprayed like a broken water pipe all over the stairs and white walls of Hotel Carmilla.
All that's left is Nan Flanagan, the one vampire who had so hypocrite tells everyone she drinks only True Blood when his extremely sensitive vampire sense heightened and enhanced with age alone detected the subtle scent of a female pheromone. He snarled warningly at the female vampire, who had seemingly torn her mouth away from Lara's almost unconscious form at the sound of Godric's growl.
"Godric," Nan insolently greeted the older vampire with a careless glance of her eyes. She is well prepared to dive back into her drink when she first felt the heavy suffocating powers of a thousand year old vampire. Returning her gaze towards the vampire towering above her, Nan witnesses Godric's peaceful and defeated expression morphs into something so sinister that she couldn't help but to stare fearfully at the ancient vampire, her pride and power as a TV hostess for vampire's rights gone in milliseconds.
Godric stood at his grounds and takes in a deep whiff, his nose flaring angrily and surveying the extent of the damage inflicted by lowly impertinent vampires. How he longed to kill the female vampire. Such an insolent piece of work, and he half wondered who had turned her before a thought seizes him up – if he kills Nan Flanagan, the authority wouldn't let it go simply and will instead blame it on nearby vampires, and the nearest he could see is his own child, Eric Northman. Even Nora, his other progeny, wouldn't be able to help them then. He will not let such a thing happen. Instead, he stared at Nan Flanagan and growled in a low tone that no human could be able to hear except for a vampire's heightened hearing.
"For daring to harm my one true mate," Godric started dangerously, his eyes staring threateningly at the younger vampire and letting her know his power as a 2000 year old vampire. "I shall see to it that the magister and the authorities deal with you with the heaviest punishment available to the vampire world if you do not disappear right at this moment."
He smiled cruelly at the now shivering Nan Flanagan. In a flash, the female vampire hightailed out of the place and disappears into Hotel Carmilla's suite room, leaving the crime site and the bloodied body of Lara Elfreya. The sight of Lara's almost mangled body brought forth his attention. Sinking his 2100 year old fangs into his wrist, he lifted up Lara's head gently and placed his wrist at her mouth, urging her to drink from him.
"Lara," Godric said in a soothing gentle tone, smoothing her hair back from her forehead and kisses her softly by the side of her temples. "It's over now. You are safe."
When Lara blearily opened her eyes through bloodied eyelashes and catch sight of Godric, her tears fell down swiftly and clamped her lips shut with all the powers she still have. Frowning slightly, Godric presses his wrist closer to her mouth. "Drink my blood and fulfill your promise. You told me you will live for me."
Lara attempted to shake her head but to no avail due to the large impossible gash torn open by vampire fangs by the side of her neck, and instead tried to groan in protest. Through the blood bond, Godric felt an indescribable amount of sadness and sorrow amidst the burning pain beyond even the graves of a human turning into a vampire. "Lara, please don't make this more difficult for me…"
Sighing to himself when Lara still refused to budge, Godric lifted his bloodied wrist to his mouth and fill his mouth with his blood.
Lara whimpered pitifully, apparently realizes what Godric is attempting to accomplish. Her hand tried to push Godric away from her, but all she could manage with all the ounces of energy she has right now is a light push, and it did nothing to stop his advances. One of his arms slides around her shoulder and he hoisted her up, ignoring the pain she experiences regretfully. If she were to drink his blood, then he would have to do so to avoid choking her to her death.
Propping her up with his bended knees, he grasped her lower jaw in his cold hands and tilted her head back slightly and gently. For a moment, he stares down into those pale golden cream colors of her eyes. The first time he had met her, he never thought that such a color could exist on a human. She had blatantly told him that she is not completely human, at least not yet. He loves her so very much, and still do despite his suicidal moment that haven't passes, determining to return to the roof after he had made sure that she is safe. The love he held for her practically rolled off him in waves, his heart swelled with said love and contorted in a painful way when the person he loves now lies in his arms dying, all because of him. Her eyes were such a happy color back then, but now that he stares into her eyes, he could only feel sorrow coming from them. The thought that he himself had brought her that heartache made him more determined in meeting the sun.
Bowing his head down towards hers, he pressed his bloodied lips to hers softly and lovingly, her tears sliding out from her beautiful eyes as she closes them in defeat. With his hand, he gently opens her mouth to him by coaxing her jaw to loosen, allowing more blood to be transferred to her mouth while he slides his lips apart. With his tongue, he spreads the blood over her own bloodied tongue and mouth, tasting the mouthwatering lily-like scent of her blood. With the loose arm he placed around her shoulders, he massaged her neck and throat in an effort to get her to swallow the blood, and when he felt movement under his fingers, he sighed with relief into her mouth, his hand holding her jaw sliding down to the sides of her body, feeling the power of his blood knitting any wound that she receives from the vampires. He could feel her heart beat accelerated, replacing the lost blood in her body while his ancient ones compensated some of her more vital blood loss temporarily.
Lifting his head up, he is confronted by the stronger gaze of Lara, partially healed by his magical blood. His jaws tightened at what she is planning to tell him, while desire surged through him, the head of her body so close to him while she sat there in her blood soaked dress. Completely his fault and he could no longer be able to make amends with her.
"I told you I would live for you," Lara croaked, her voice raspy from the screaming. "-only for you. But if you are gone, then nothing would hold me to this Earth anymore. Everything would cease to be meaningful, and I too, shall seek death to be with you again."
Raising her hand up to his cheek, Lara wipes the small trace of blood around the corner of his lips lovingly, her eyes staring at him sadly.
"I'm sorry, Lara," Godric started, his own hand stroking Lara's smooth bloodied cheeks. "But I wanted to be selfish for the last time, if you would allow me to?"
Lara regarded Godric for a moment before leaning in and placed a soft kiss on his bloodied lips. "Anything for you, Godric…" she whispers against his mouth, and within seconds she found herself wrapped up in Godric's arms while he carried her using his vampire speed back towards the stairs topmost exit that would lead towards the blazing sun outside of the door. As per his command, Eric stood guard with the petite blonde Sookie Stackhouse.
"Oh my God, what happened!?" Sookie said alarmingly, her mouth covered by her hands at the sight of the blood soaked Lara Godric is currently carrying in his arms.
"Let me guess, Nan Flanagan and a few other vampires?" Eric chirped happily, but his eyes betrayed his tone as he stared on gravely. When Godric nodded his head once, Eric stopped smiling.
"I take it that her blood is much more potent when her emotions are strong," Godric said while looking down at the lightly slumbering Lara. "I've already disposed off the other vampires except for Miss Flanagan. It would be wise to do so if we want to avoid the Authority. She would cover everything up, seeing as everything is of her doing."
"Then what is your next step, Godric?" Eric asks the question that Godric dreaded. He closes his eyes regretfully.
"I want you to take care of her for me. She is in grave danger if left alone, and I wouldn't wish for her to follow my steps."
"Then you're breaking your promise," Lara said into his neck suddenly in a broken tone. Godric could feel the tears sliding down his neck rapidly. He didn't like it.
"I'm the reason everything happens," Godric said, trying to reason with her and Eric. "I promised that I will make amends, and I will."
"But you did not say that you will make amends by meeting the sun," Lara protested, her hand fisted the clothes on his chest tightly. "How is that making amends, Godric? You should be making up to whatever you have done, Godric, not choosing suicide as an amendment. That is call escaping. You know that is cowardice, Godric. You know it!"
Eric growled from where he stood and prepared to drag the girl from Godric's arms. Eric does not take kindly to anyone who dares to insult his maker. Were it not of Godric giving Eric an eyeful, he would have done something much worse than dragging the girl away from Godric's side a long while ago.
Setting her down by the stairs, Godric gave Lara a long, lingering kiss, his hands caressing and cupping her face lovingly in his while he rested his forehead against hers. "Know that I will always love you."
Cupping the hands that are cupping her cheeks, Lara's tears slides down her face and she sobbed, "I want to be in love with only you, Godric. I want to watch the skies turns grey then blue with you. I want to be in love with you and only you forever, for eternity, and you're making this worse, Godric…"
Trounced, Godric closes his eyes and moves away from her, going up the stairs and coming back into the direct path of the sun. Glancing at her, Godric apologizes to her and said in a defeated tone, "And I'm sorry for that…"
"No you're not," Lara said in a cold tone, shocking everyone with her sudden bitter tenor. Standing up, Lara marches up towards Godric and stood right in front of him, blocking some of the sunlight from burning him. "I can assure you, Godric" she said, her eyes looking determinedly into his. "That I am born for you and that I've been waiting for you to appear for nearly forever, and I want you to listen to me this time and hear me out."
Godric furrowed his brows a little at her strange wordings. He listened intently to her, as per her wish. He couldn't possibly refuse her anything, not with how much he actually loves her.
Stroking his cheek, Lara leans in to him and pleaded with him softly, "Don't choose the easiest escape route, Godric. You know you're not weak, and you're certainly not a coward. Think deeply, use your heart and mind and think. This is not the right way to make amends. You can make so much more with this life. You can help, protect, and even save so many lives if you live, but if you die, many more shall follow in your steps, and the vampire race certainly won't be the only race involved."
"Godric," Lara called him, forcing him to look into her eyes and away from the tempting fate the Sun offers as a grand escape route from life. Leaning in to touch her forehead to his once, Lara leans away and stares hard into his eyes. "Face it. Face your fears and your worries in a brave way. Walk with me, choose me, call me and I will be by your side. Godric, tell me you won't choose this easy escape route. Tell me you won't abandon your duty just so that you could make amends by killing yourself. No one will notice your absence, and even if they did, they would make use of your death and continue to wreak havoc in Dallas. Please, Godric. Don't go. Stay with me, and I'll be with you forever. Promises aside, let me be the reason you live, Godric. Please. I'll be yours completely."
While she speaks, Godric noted the desperate attempt Lara is trying to do. For a moment, he thought that all she is doing are meaningless and thought about glamouring her again. When he saw the smokes arising slowly from where his skin is exposed, however, he thought otherwise, and for another precious moment, his decision in meeting the sun faltered.
Where smokes are arising, Lara tries to cover his exposed skin with hers. It helped little, and she suffers the consequences from such an action and is punished with blisters and angry red sunburns. She is willing to suffer with him just so he could change his decision, and again, he felt guilt settles in him at the sight of her hurting for him.
But then, he thought about the other things Lara is trying to tell him. What if she truly commits suicide after he dies? He never truly thought about just how much it would hurt everyone if he truly decides to die. He never thought about just how sad it would make someone. He already felt his progeny's sadness through the bond they both shared. He couldn't possibly force his progeny to force her to live. He had made a mistake by glamouring her, and he had paid dearly with the knowledge that she had almost died for it.
"You're right."
Lara looked up at Godric and finds him staring down at her with a new light in his eyes, as if he had finally realizes something at long last. He smiles down at her softly and caressed her cheeks with his knuckles. "You're right, Lara. It's pathetic of me to just leave like that."
Lara swallowed hard. In a half-strangled shaky tone, she asks him timidly, "So- So, would you stay with me?"
Bending down to her level, Godric brushes his lips against hers softly and leans his forehead on hers. "Until the end of time..."
Placing his arms behind her back and her knees, Godric swiftly scooped her into his arms as if she weighted nothing and disappears from the roof, reappearing at the stairs where Eric and Sookie await.
"Oh, Godric," Lara wrapped both of her arms around Godric's neck tight enough to suffocate him if he were to breathe like a normal human. Taking several deep, desperate breaths off Godric's intoxicating scent everywhere she could get her nose in, Lara disengaged her arms from Godric's neck and starts kissing him full on the lips. "Godric," she chanted breathlessly, releasing his lips and pecking him all over his face and back at his lips again. "Godric, Godric, Godric."
"Yes, my sweet" Godric said, a little amused by the love display from the usually shy Lara and the audience he receives from both Eric and Sookie, the latter staring at them openly at the shocking display of love from the usually reserved Lara. Placing her down on the ground, Lara kisses him again on the lips, and when she releases his lips, he continued before he was interrupted again by Lara's wonderful set of mouth attacking his own by kissing him. "I'm here."
Releasing him, Lara reaches back with her hand and gave her arm a full swing before they connected with Godric's cheek sharply, the sound of the slap rebounded in the corridor in a shocking moment. Eric's chest heaved up angrily while Sookie gaped at her bravado, one hand stopping Eric from lunging in for the kill.
Godric recovered very slowly. His eyes wide with surprise, Godric stares at his little goddess-human and felt his jaws went slack at the sight of the fiery Lara. To Godric, Lara has never look more beautiful than right now. Her eyes, a fiery gaze of fury burns fire into him, her lips forming a feral snarl and her hair gives him the impression that they're glowing in all their golden glory.
"Don't ever fall to such low tactics and give up life without giving it another thought, Godric!" she snarled at the ancient vampire. "Don't ever do that ever again! Ever!"
Pulling himself back together, Godric reaches out to touch her cheeks slowly, bracing himself for any more hits or slaps from his beautiful little goddess-human. "But I've fallen, Lara," he said in a low tone, his eyes boring into hers. "I've fallen, and I'm still falling, Lara…"
Letting his hand slide from her cheeks to her shoulders, he moves his hand slowly over her arms, then her wrist and finally he encircles his fingers around them and bringing her hand to his lips, kissing the back of her hand softly. "I have fallen so deeply in love with you, Lara. Completely and hopelessly fallen for you, and now that you've awaken me from my foolish attempts at walking away, my life, my soul, my heart and my everything shall be yours and yours only."
A stray tear slides down her face as she smiles at Godric. Reaching up, Lara caresses Godric's slapped part of the face and kisses him chastely on the cheek.
"I love you so very much, Godric…" she whispered lovingly, combing her fingers through his short brown hair at the nape of his neck. "I would trade a thousand suns for you… You would always come first above my all… I would live an eternity of stars and moon for you…for you… anything…"
