"Wake up!" I felt someone shake me and as i remembered everything that happened i jolted up. Looking for one person. Marie. She was here and she was with Godric, who was sitting at the edge of the bed. Isabel was the one who tried to wake me. I realized that the wounds were gone. "What happened?" I asked them. "We found you, hidden in the woods. The police were close and just as we arrived you stopped breathing." Isabel started to explain everything but when she said i had stopped breathing she looked upset.
"We didn't have time to fully help you with them so close so Godric gave you a little of his blood. It was enough to get you breathing again and we brought you both back to the nest and he gave you more."
"You scared the hell out of my maker." My eyes snapped to the door and saw Eric standing there. "When did you-" "I felt his fear." That was enough to get you to drop whatever you were doing and come here. I would have to though... Godric didn't seem to fear anything. "Sorry... i didn't mean to." Eric sighed.
"We all understand why you took the bullets. I am just surprised you managed to survive that long with one so close to your heart." I was surprised, honestly i hadn't even thought about the placement of the bullets in till Eric pointed it out. "Your not going out there alone again." I reconized the tone Godric was using, it was his end of story tone. He wasn't going to listen to anything i said on the matter. "Ok." I said, though honestly i wasn't going to. It was possible that the police were looking for me now.
I doubted that they would give up on a woman keeping a baby near a vampire. They just didn't understand... "Your not going to fight him on this?" Isabel asked. "Nope, i could if i wanted to and i would get no where, other than having a pissed off 2,000 year old vampire in the nest."
"At least this one actually thinks." I shot Eric a look. "Some humans that surround themselves with vampires do not." I shook my head, i had seen a few that were... well different, weird, some falled under the special category but not all of them were, some were as normal as could be. "Is that why you lust after Sookie Stackhouse?" I asked.
"You told her." Eric looked at Godric, clearly annoyed with this. Godric smirked. "Be lucky i haven't told her about the germany trip." Eric glared. "You wouldn't." Godric chuckled. "Don't test me." Isabel hugged me out of no where. "Just be careful from now on Elizabeth." I had froze from the sudden contact at first before hugging her back. It was just i guess i didn't understand why she seemed to like me. She pulled away and smiled. "Because if your not i will make sure you never leave the nest without bodyguards."
"...and i thought my mom was overprotective." I shouldn't have mentioned her, just bringing her up hurt me. I remember all the safety precautions she taught me, repeating them in till i completely understood i had to use them. Sadly if i completely obeyed safety rules now i would be caught easily by those murderers. I could feel the pain and anger bubbling to the surface so i forced it back in to it's bottle. Eventually i was going to have to find a way to let this out. Before i lost it and did something i would regret.
Godric silently placed Marie in to my arms and walked out of the room with Eric. I was confused and i guess it showed on my face. "Eric is uncomfortable with Godric's feelings towards you. I suppose the viking wants to make sure all of this is truely what his maker wants." Isabel explained and it did explain why they left so suddenly but it also left me with more questions. Like this one. What kind of feelings? But i didn't ask.
"Come on lets get you something to eat." Oh that reminds me. "Has Marie been fed?" Isabel smiled as she led me to the kitchen. "Yes, i fed her. I've seen you prepare her bottles so i knew what to do. As for diapers... well. Yes she was changed but none of us are likely to ever do it again." I couldn't help it i laughed.
"That's why i try to catch it before the smell can really bother you guys." I told her as she opened the freezer. "We appreciate that. Thank you." She pulled out a random tv dinner. Which turned out to be macaroni and cheese. "Is this alright?" She asked. "Isabel you don't have to microwave that for me-" She raised her hand to silence me. "Is this alright?" She repeated, i just nodded knowing it was useless to try and explain that it felt weird for her to be caring for me. I was use to taking care of myself in this regard.
I felt a tug on the neck of the shirt i was wearing and looked down. I noticed several things at once. One, i was wearing a clean shirt and from the size i assumed it was Godric's. Two, Marie was smiling and hugging on me which of course got me to hold her closing and hug her back. Three, Some one had obviously washed me. I was just going to let that one go though.
Isabel pointed at the chair and i rolled my eyes. "I'm 19 not 2." I mumbled under my breath but listened to her anyways. "Well if it isn't sleeping beauty." I reconized that voice and looked and saw Pam smirking at me. It was one that screamed well someone just got in trouble.
"Evening." I said mainly because i didn't really know what to say. "If we must stick to the usual greetings fine. Good evening. Now that that is over with... I must say i am impressed it's not everyday a simple human woman survives a wound near the heart."
"I didn't survive it." I told her. "Fine. You survived long enough for Godric to save you." Pam rolled her eyes and took a seat beside me. Probally annoyed with my answer, she had tried to compliment me and i shut her down... in a way i guess. I can't imagine that she gives compliments often. I said nothing aside from thanking Isabel when she placed the food in front of me. "Well if it aint the whore." I stopped mid reach for the fork and turned to look at Stan.
"What did you just call me?" I asked him. I was so sick of this. Why couldn't he just shut up? "A whore." He smirked knowing that he had upset me. I got up from the chair. "For me to be one that would sort of require me not to be a virgin you asshole. Not to mention i would have fuck more than one guy and seeing as i have not even done one guy, i am not a whore. Something seems to be off with your senses Stan because you should be able to smell it." I was immediantely casious of Marie being in the middle of us and shifted so he would have to go threw me if he went to attack. No doubt he would go after my weakness first.
"You should watch your mouth little girl." He threatened. "Why? Your just going to continue doing whatever you can to provoke me so i either piss off Godric and he gets rid of me or i piss you off enough that you have reason to kill me and can get away with it." Isabel stepped between us and pushed him back. "Stop this. You are supposed to be Godric's left hand and you continue to provoke his human. This has been going on to long. Stop acting like a baby vampire and more your age." He glared at her.
"She is nothing. Just some blood bag on the run from others. She jumped at the chance to hide behind Godric. She deserves to be found by those humans." At this Pam stood up and gave him a cold glare. "Her situation has been explained to Eric and I. She resisted Godric and only relented when she was not strong enough to protect the 'child' alone. This was Godric's choice. You will stop questioning him."
"I am not questioning my sheriff. Just the human bitch." Stan growled. "How about this. I died dumbass. I took bullets to my chest and bled to death. Godric chose to save me. I am alive by his will." I told him. "He should have left you dead." He snapped. "Who are you to say what he should or shouldn't do?" Pam growled.
"Enough."
At that everyone was suddenly quiet. "Elizabeth is apart of this nest. You will treat her with respect or you will leave." Godric said holding Stan's gaze with a cold calculating one. He was watching Stan's every move. Reaction. So as Stan's shoulders sagged and the tough guy demeanor seemed to fall apart. Godric seemed please. It was when Stan settled a cold gaze at me that i returned the look with equal force. "They will see threw you eventually." He promised. "Of course. I don't plan on hiding my identity forever. They will know me."
"Intill that blessed day arrives and i am given premission to kill you..." He stood straight. "I must adhear to my sheriff wishes and treat you with respect... even if i hold none for you." I don't know what i had done to set Stan off. I guess it was just cause i was human. I don't know. I do know that if he is willing to listen to Godric then i will return the favor. I respect him enough to treat him like a person... well as long as he doesn't attempt to end Marie's or my life. I'm good.
"Ok well since this is settled. Elizabeth we have something to tell you." Isabel said and immediantly i was prepared for the worst. "Godric is having a gathering of sorts to allow the vampires to meet you... the problem is... you have to smell like him."
"Huh?" Please tell me she isn't saying what i think she's saying. "It's simple you just let him drink from you and you drink some of his blood in return." Ook so she wasn't hinting at what i thought she was... what is wrong with me? Was i changing personalities along with my name cause i don't remember being so...
Anyways.
"It's not that simple Isabel. It creates a bond. If done three times she would be... his wife." Eric said seemly annoyed that Isabel had chosen to veto this very important part. Stan walked away. It took a lot for him to do it to.
"I didn't mention that part because she's stubborn." She told him. "Wait you-" Pam laughed at me. "Yes were going to bind you to Godric every way possible."
"...yea... i'm going to ignore all of you now." and i did. Annoyed them all to... didn't matter what they did, from grabbing me and forcing me to stop what i was doing to saying crude things, i only payed attention to Marie. Those poor vampires.
Is it wrong that i am amused by this?
