Chapter 14
Watching the nervous but excited girl approach, Eric was just about to wave her off when Luna spoke, clueing them in on the fact that she had probably glamoured the girl to approach in the first place. It wouldn't surprise him, not when that was a skill that even he was capable of.
"Hey I'm Ginger, what can I get you?" Ginger stated, Godric leaning back to Luna could order.
"A large white wine, a vodka and a AB- true blood with an empty glass" Luna stated in a dismissive manner, Ginger glancing around at the others to see if they wanted anything before rushing off to get the eldest vampire her request.
"If you were a human I would have you down for an alcoholic" Pam smirked, still taken aback that the girl could consume something other than blood. She couldn't help but be jealous, any vampire would be.
"They didn't have alcohol when I was human" Luna confessed before nodding to Ginger when she came back with her drinks, the other waitresses and humans alike burning with envy and curiosity. Pam and Eric couldn't help but try and stifle a gasp, how old must she be to have been human when alcohol had not existed at all?
"That's all" Eric quickly waved off the annoying woman, Ginger quickly scurrying off with disappointment. "So, you are here because you can't control your childe?" he continued smugly as he gazed at Compton, loving that the civil war survivor wasn't looking so perfect now.
Godric was vaguely listening to the conversation but his heart wasn't in it; not when he couldn't help but stare as his mate downed the large glass of white wine in one go before shifting to straddle his waist.
Pressing her lips against his he instantly felt the sharp taste of the alcohol, knowing that nearly every vampire would be extremely envious of him at that moment as she opened her lips so he could invade her mouth with his tongue. He couldn't help but low groan, suddenly feeling his blank cotton trousers becoming too tight even if they weren't exactly tight fitting.
Pulling apart Luna let a smile grace her lips, her tongue running along her lower lip seductively in a way had had him instantly wanting to be in her wet heat, because he knew she was wet, he could smell her.
"Delicious" she winked seductively before slipping off his lap much to his annoyance, her next actions being to mix the vodka in with the true blood before trusting it into his hand. He raised a brow, wondering if it was safe to drink before shaking his head. Of course it was, he trusted her with his life after all, not to mention she didn't put a lot of alcohol in it to start with.
Returning back to the situation at hand he caught them all staring, raising a brow which quickly seemed to snap them out of it before they got back to the conversation at hand.
"I don't see how this is my problem Compton, she is your childe" Eric waved off, not interested in this problem of his at all.
"It is your fault I am in this situation" Bill snapped, remembering the time when he had no choice but to stake another vampire and send them to their final death to save his Sookie. She needed to be protected, and while he loathed himself for knowing why he was sent here he did generally care about the girl who had a place firmly in his heart.
"I wasn't the one who broke the law Compton, remember that" Eric warned, not liking the way his subordinate was talking to him. He was the vampires sheriff, he demanded respect.
While Eric, Sookie and Bill bantered back and forward with snarky comments Luna quickly found herself tiring of the whole thing. She was simple when it came down to how she wanted to spend her time and listening to two vampires and a part fae arguing was not on top of the list. She would rather be sitting with a book in her hand then be subjected to listening to this, and by Godric's slight frown she knew that he had picked up on her obvious unenjoyably mood.
"Are you alright, my Belle?" Godric asked her, his language one of the oldest meaning it had died out long before Eric had been turned by him. He vaguely remembered his mother teaching it to him before he was captured. Luna was the only other vampire that he was aware of who knew of its meaning and it was nice to feel the harshly spoke words on his tongue once again and for someone to actually understand them.
"Other than being subjected to listen to this bickering, fine" was all she stated as a reply causing him to internally wince. He took that as a no.
"I admit it is slightly, unnecessary" Godric admitted.
He wasn't fully aware of the situation but from what he could gather Compton was having trouble with his young childe who he had been forced to turn after staking another to protect his human. How Eric let this go on in his area was beyond him, but Luna was correct, it wasn't what he had expected to have to listen to when he agreed to come here with his maker.
"Do you have your phone on you; I wish to make a call to Isabel?" Luna asked as she looked at her childe, seeing him nod as he slipped out his cell from his pocket and handed it over to her before gesturing for his childe to move as he slid out the booth with her behind him.
"Let me know if she isn't coping" he stated causing her to nod, pressing her lips briefly against his before she was gone much to the shock and enjoyment of the customers who hadn't taken their eyes off them since they had first entered a few hours ago.
"Problem?" Eric asked, frowning at not being able to understand what they were saying since it sounded older than he was. The night he knew hadn't gone as well as he had planned, Compton having ruined it even if he got some enjoyment and amusement out of seeing the vampire so flustered.
"Nothing that cannot be sorted, have you come to an understanding?" Godric replied with a raised brow as he slipped back into the booth, taking note that Luna had taken her bag with her this time causing him to finish his drink at the extremely subtle hint.
"Eric is being unreasonable" Sookie protested with a frown, not understanding why he wouldn't help since Jessica was a vampire in his area.
"And why is that, dear?" Godric asked with a raised brow, stunning Sookie speechless for a few seconds that he had actually addressed her.
"I mean Jessica is a vampire in his area" she stated causing Eric to scoff, Godric was the one to answer though.
"That may be, but due to Mr Compton being the one to change her she is technically his" he stated causing her to frown, she could understand where he was coming from but that didn't mean she had to like it.
"I know but-"she started before she was cut off with Luna's sudden reappearance and Godric's attention was instantly drawn elsewhere much to her annoyance. She didn't voice it though, she wasn't suicidal after all and actually liked living.
"Everything alright, my belle?"Godric asked her, taking note of her sudden appearance.
"I will be taking my leave, be free to stay though" she stated as she handed back his phone, Godric instantly rising as soon as she had made it clear that she had no intention of staying.
"I will come" he stated.
To be perfectly honest the night hadn't been exactly enjoyable other than when he had gotten slightly frisky with his love. But having to listen to another vampires' problems on his so-called vacation was not what he enjoyed; he had enough of that in Dallas when he was in charge.
Making a move to rise from his seat he felt a hand grip his wrist, his eyes trailing to his own childe who was looking at him with a frown. He raised a brow, Eric releasing his grip when it was clear he had his attention.
"Actually Godric, I was wondering if you would stay since there is something I wish to discuss with you" Eric continued causing Godric to sigh but glance at his love only to see her gazing off into space. It wasn't until a few moments later she snapped out of it, no expression on her features as she took note of the situation before speaking.
"Stay, something has come up which requires my attention for a few days."
"Do not be vague with me, love" Godric narrowed his eyes simply, but did not raise his voice.
"You are here for a break away from politics, Godric" Luna stated simply. "I do not wish to drag you into it again."
Godric was just about to interrupt when he heard Bills sharp intake of breath. Following his gaze he simply shook his head when he saw Jessica, dressed in what he would describe as little to nothing, enter the club with a smirk.
"Perhaps you could postpone it," Godric drew his attention back to Luna.
Thinking about it she shrugged, grabbing Godric's phone out of his pocket before dashing off with the intent to phone them back and let them know that she was in no hurry. She could not deny her child anything she found.
I know its short but to make up for it the next chapter won't be long since as soon as I upload this one I am making a start on the next.
Keep me in-tune to how you think it's going with a REVIEW since I love to hear if you think I am taking it in the right direction. Some more of Luna's past will be revealed soon as well.
Remember, REVIEW!
