Morriah pov:
My anger was soaring. While Sam was smart he was still ignorant in many ways, and it seemed that common sense was one of those ways. I cannot believe he brought kids into a bar, they were young, easily as to get into trouble. At Fangtasia no less!
Godric pov
It was easy to sense Morriah's anger as we drove to Eric's bar, what the anger was directed at was unclear, but a few things came to mind.
We entered Fangtasia through the back employee entrance, avoiding the crowd of fangbangers. I followed as Morriah and Eric lead the way to his office. The first thing I noticed was an annoyed Pam at Eric's desk, and a pair of children on the leather sofa in the office. I turned my head slightly to see my angel lining pinning the Shifter against the wall with her forearm.
She spoke harshly, but calmly in a whisper to spare the children her words. "You idiotic dog! You are lucky that I don't do worse to you!" Her voice was laced with anger, but she refrained from shouting. She radiated power, the Shifter being on the bad side of it, even Pam seemed frightened of her.
Eric put a hand on her shoulder and spoke to her gently. "Alskare (lover), I will take him into my booth in the bar and speak to him there. You should give Pam a break from babysitting duty."
Morriah nodded, releasing the Shifter from her grip as Eric lead him out to the bar with Pam following. She stayed facing the wall for a moment, calming herself.
She turned, facing the kids with a concerned smile. The children seemed to relax at the sight of her. "Are you two weirdos okay?"
Their faces seemed to light up as Morriah spoke, holding het arms out to the nervous children. They ran to her, wrapping their tiny arms around her, as she crouched down to their height.
"There's somethin' wrong with mama!" The small boy pulled back, speaking to Morriah quickly.
The girl kept her hands around Morriah, speaking as soon as the boy's mouth closed. "She had black eyes, Momo! And she was acting funny!"
Morriah kissed both kids on the tops of their head. "Alright. How about we sit down and do something fun, okay? Let the grown-ups take care of things, okay, my little weirdos?"
The children nodded vigorously, jumping back on the couch, as my angel sat on the floor in front of them. I looked to her curiously, then turning my attention back to the children on the couch. My angel laughed when she noticed the children's awe-filled stares directed at me. I was utterly confused, though I kept my face still.
"Are you a Vampire?" The little boy asked me, while my angel burst into another fits of giggles, saying he was correct. I looked to her, quirking an eyebrow. Usually normal humans could not determine whether we were a Vampire or not.
"Don't be so surprised! Children can be very perceptive. And you don't really act of dress like anyone they have ever seen before."
I nodded, moving to sit down beside my angel, making the children jump slightly.
"Colby, Lisa, this is Godric. Godric, this is Colby and Lisa." Morriah gestured between the few of us.
I smiled gently when she introduced us, the children visibly relaxing.
"Can we see your fangs?" The little boy named Colby asked me excitedly as the girl tensed yet again. I looked to my angel questionably, and she smiled soothingly.
"It's your choice. They are just curious. Innocent childish curiosity, they don't have any bad intentions."
I looked back up at the excited children, who were practically bouncing in their seats.
"Please do not be frightened. I promise no harm will come to you." I did not want to scare the small children.
I let my fangs drop. I watched and waited for to be scared, or react badly, but they did nothing but stare in awe. I listened to their whispered of amusement, and my angel's "I told you so." I retracted my fangs with a proud grin on my face.
Eric walked back into the office sometime later, with the Shifter right behind him.
"The plans are all set. We will act tomorrow night."
"Eric?" I asked my childe, "What about the children?" We had made plans, but children were not one of the things we had thought about.
Morriah stood up from her position on the floor, and I followed suit. "We should leave them with Lafayette, he is far enough away from my house, and he is no stranger."
I smiled at her quick thinking, it was a perfect idea. They would be far enough to not be effected, but close enough where we could get to them quickly if anything came up.
"That is a wonderful idea, min lilla sol (my little sun). Shifter, you will bring these children to Lafayette's house. Eric will follow along as a precaution." I did not trust the Shifter, Morriah's previous actions only helped tho stabilize my feelings on him as well.
Eric nodded to my suggestion, the Shifter on the other hand was quiet, but angry. Eric addressed me with formality, most likely so the Shifter would understand the power I held. "I will meet you two at my house, if that is alright with you, Master?"
I nodded as he tossed me the keys of his car. Morriah said her farewells to the children, Colby and Lisa before we departed. Eric had informed Pamela of our departure, among worth her responsibilities over the next day or two, depending on how things turned out. The drive to Eric's house was quiet. Though our plans were set, I could sense the worry coming off of Morriah in waves.
As soon as I parked the car, my angel made her way into the house. I followed her inside, watching her kick off her shoes, and sit upside-down on the couch in the sitting room. I sat on the floor in front of her, so I could be some-what eye level with her, though it was not precise.
"Are you alright, min lilla sol (my little sun)?" I did not question her actions, but rather her feelings.
"I don't know. I am worried, stressed, scared, and a lot of other stuff. I'm just tired."
I gave her a gentle smile as I mindlessly played with her soft hair. "Do you want to go to bed now, or do you want to do something?"
She shrugged but said nothing more. I moved to sit beside her, upside-down, just as she was. My angel let out a laugh as I settled into my position. I observed the obscured world around me, the way things seemed to be was odd, but interesting.
It was hilarious to see Eric walk in the door, as if he was in the ceiling.
"Frustrated?" He directed his question to my angel as soon as he saw our positions.
"Yes." Was the only answer she gave him. He smirked, but stayed quiet.
"How's your arm?" She questioned him, but I saw nothing wrong with his arm, and felt no distress from our bond, only amusement, partially directed at me.
"It's gone." She nodded, gracefully removing herself from the position on the couch, leaving the room. Eric chuckled at my confused expression, leaning over me.
"Do you need help up?"
"No, my childe, I think I can manage." He laughed even harder at me as I fell off the couch in an attempt to get up. I stuck my tongue out as he took up a seat on the vacant couch. Our angel walked back in the room, her bare feet softly padding on the floor, with a box in b her hands.
"What's that?" I asked from my position on the floor. She smiled, taking a seat with her back against Eric's chest.
"Sharpies."
She grinned as she pulled out a black marker from her box. Eric placed his bare arm in front of her. I was surprised no scent came off of the marker when she uncapped it. She laughed as she drew on Eric's arm, picking up on my frustration. She answered my silent question without looking up f from her work.
"They're scent-less. Eric ordered them to give both of our noses a break from the smell of my other markers."
I nodded in understanding, walking to lean over the back of the couch, which gave a better view of what she was creating. I watched, transfixed as the marker brushed over Eric's pale skin, leaving behind the black ink in a series of lines. It was mesmerizing to watch her work, I was almost disappointed when she finished, if not for the beautiful art she let behind. She drew a stunning bear paw made of patterns I recognized as Celtic knots.
"It's beautiful, min lilla sol (my little sun). But why a bear paw?"
She shrugged her shoulders, putting her marker away with the others. "My Grandmother showed me a picture like that in one of her books, a while ago. I thought it looked nice, I find Celtic knots to be beautifully intricate."
Eric kissed Morriah on the top of her head, and held up his arm so he could see the artwork better. "It is beautiful, älskare (lover). Thank you."
"Welcome." She yawned, making me grin, she has had a long night, and it was finally affecting her.
"It seems like it's time for bed, min lilla sol (my little sun)." Eric grinned, picking up on my train of thought. He scooped up Morriah, into his arms and stood, walking to his bedroom.
"Hey, I have legs, I can walk. But," She spoke burying her head into Eric's shoulder as he chuckled. "This is nice too."
Eric let her down in the room, allowing Morriah use of her own legs once again. She disappeared into the closet, only to come out moments later, wearing one of Eric's shirts. Eric tossed me a pair of sleep pants. I raised a brow questionably
I had always rested nude, as had Eric. I pulled them on anyway, not wanting to make my angel feel uncomfortable. In a few minutes Morriah stepped out of the bathroom, proving yet again that she could outshine a queen in any outfit she wore.
She turned into my chest, cuddling against me as Eric molded himself to the back of her form. I reveled in the closeness, allowing me to feel the warmth of her body, and breath in her heavenly smell.
I fell into my day rest, enjoying the feel of my mate against my skin.
