Sookie's POV
After Clara had finished explaining the situation, there was silence. Even little Kaia seemed to understand to depth of this. We were all losing Melody, she was going to give up everything to protect her little sister. A little sister she had just recently met. I was surprised for a moment when Godric had handed me Kaia and took off. I knew where he was going, I knew what he was going to do. "He will be killed if he tries to rescue the Princess." Clara told me as she stared at the open door for a moment. I moved forward to close and lock the door again, Kaia on my hip. "Godric can protect himself." Even as I spoke the words I wondered if it was true, in his condition could he really fight the Guardians and survive? Please be alright Godric.
Nyght's POV
"No Father. I have disobeyed you to offer you what you want. Your Heir." I spoke coldly not even bothering to seem pleasant. "However there is conditions. Leave Kaia and Clara alone. Allow them to continue their lives free of the Guardians. Leave the people I was with on land alone. If you do this I will never question anything you say again. I will become the perfect Heir you've always wanted." I don't want to do this... but I have to. "Should you go against your word Melody I will kill every single one of them and force you to watch." Of course you would you sick twisted bastard! "I understand Father." He was quiet for a few minutes before he spoke.
"The deal has been ma-" I turned quickly sensing anger only to see Godric there in the doorway, shirtless and pissed off. Oh no... "Leave Godric, Leave now!" I yelled. "As if I would leave you behind." I watched as he came closer to me. "Ahh I see, the vampire has fallen for you child. He's a fool. You can only love one for your entire life and that is Sky." I shook my head without thinking. "No Father. I do not love Sky." That was the only answer I gave him, and instantly I knew I would suffer for it. My father knew, he knew then that I was in love with Godric. "No!" Father roared.
"Godric get out of here!" I yelled but instead of the foolish vampire getting out of my fathers reach, he came closer and wrapped his arms around me. The anger in Father's eyes told me that Godric was going to die. The spear that was thrown with precision, it wouldn't miss and the silver would pierce Godric's heart. The water surrounding us churned with my Father's anger and made it impossible to move. I struggled against the current for a moment, at the last second I got loose from Godric's grip and took the hit.
The spear practically slipped through my chest, my eyes widened and I screamed out in pain. "Why... Why did you do that!" Godric was furious but not with me, with my father. "Your important to me, I want you to live."
"Melody your a fool!" My father roared. "He can give you nothing! He is dead!" I made no attempt to move, it hurt to much and instead let Godric support me. "He doesn't have to give me anything. Him living is enough... I don't love him for what he can give me, I love him for who he is. You should understand this." Father should understand, after all the only good thing about Father is he truly did love Mother. It was getting harder and harder to breath, I won't make it to much longer.
Sookie's POV
Kaia was such a sweet girl. Though i'll admit I was surprised when she instantly knew Godric, yet she was still to young for me to ask her. She must have a gift. "Clara, Did Kaia know Melody?" I asked before I could stop myself. "Yes. Kaia is gifted, yet as to what her gift is it's still a mystery." I watched the little toddler, happily listening to music off of Nyght's MP3. Suddenly she stopped and her emerald colored eyes slightly glazed over. "Sissy dyin."
It was like being struck with a hot branding iron. I didn't know what to do, it surprised the hell out of me when Kaia suddenly giggled and I realized she was listening to the music again. "Oh no..." Clara cried. Godric, Godric was going to get her, hopefully he gets to her in time to save her. "Sookie... we must hide Kaia..." Clara said suddenly, looking up at her I realized she must have figured something out. "I believe Kaia may be the new seer. If my suspicions are correct, her Father will never let her go." I understood clearly what she didn't say and now I knew all to well that I was going to have to turn to a Viking for protection. A Viking who will most likely rather kill Clara and Kaia than protect them.
Hesitantly I made the call.
"You want me to protect two fish when that fucking bitch abandoned Godric-" "She left to protect us all Eric!" I snapped. "I don't give a shit Sookie. I will not protect her brat sister and some old witch." I was angry but despite that all of our lives were in danger here. "Eric. Nyght loves Godric. She left so her Father would not kill your maker. She did what you would have done in a heartbeat if you had to and you hate her for it. Your not a child, you are a 1000 year old vampire, the progeny of Godric. Sheriff. And you are acting like a child who lost his favorite toy. What do you think Godric thinks of this? When he has already agreed to the protection of this child and woman?" I knew it was not a good idea to throw that up in Eric's face but I also knew it would be the only way he would even agree.
"Fine. For Godric I will protect the fish."
Nyght's POV
I was surprised when Father made no other attempt on Godric's life. I fully expected him to take advantage and strike. Yet he did not and I quickly figured out why Mother was standing behind Godric. She had obviously seen the whole thing and was crying while she glared at her husband. "You have killed our daughter, she doesn't have but minutes left and yet you seek to destroy her soul as well. Let the vampire live as she wishes."
My mother had always been a strong woman, never once has she backed down from Father and I doubted she ever would. Seeing her now, even as her eldest was dying, she faced him. Stood strong and was daring him to defy her. It made me smile. "He's no right to be in my water." Father said, glaring at Godric. I just barely managed to face that poor disgrace of a man. "Father... I hope you understand what... you've done... Leave Godric a-lone..."
I struggled to breath but i knew it wouldn't work. It was the end. The spear was to close to my heart. I looked up at Godric and placed my hand against his cheek. "Live." Was the last word i was able to say before my world went black.
Sookie's POV
"NO! NO! NO! Nyght! Nyght!" I screamed but made no move as i held Kaia close, the little girl needed me now... Clara was on her knees crying as we looked at Melody's body. She was gone, my littler sister gone... I could no longer look at her and instead forced myself to focus on the others. Godric's eyes were empty and dark as he stood there, staring down at Nyght who laid in his arms. He had tried to revive her... nothing worked. Melody was gone and Godric... was as good as gone. Eric was kneeling beside Godric. "Please Godric. There was nothing you could do."
The answer was so quiet i barely heard. "I could have pushed her away, i could have taken the attack that was meant for me. I could have saved my Melody." We all knew that wasn't true from what Godric had managed to explain of the attack there was nothing even he could have done. Nyght made her choice. No matter how much i wish she was still alive and happy with us...
