I hate writing dialogue, I've never been good with it as I am not a huge talker myself… ugh I try!

"What?" I choked out, far more disoriented than I thought as people started moving around me, the pain significantly increased but insignificant in the face of what everyone else was facing.

"Are you OK?!" Godric demanded, pulling me into a seated position as I nodded, I wasn't in danger of dying at least. A part of me was screaming that no, I was not ok, but all I really managed to do was stare blankly ahead as he left to go help the situation.

"Su?!" Both Sookie and Jason cried for me, as I sat there, in pain and slightly confused, my middle was throbbing my ears were ringing and things were fairly blurry at best.

"I don't like Dallas." I gasped as I felt my insides trying to knit themselves together again with what remained of Eric's blood in my system, I wasn't outwardly hurt, but something had definitely torn or something with the repeated trauma to the same spot.

"You'll be alright." Jason was kneeling beside me as I struggled to focus on him, it was sad that this was as close as we had been in years. Sookie was at my other side wiping at…blood?

"You're hurt?" My voice sounded entirely too breathy making me sound far younger,

"Not me, Eric was." She grumbled, I wasn't sure I liked that tone directed at his wellbeing…

"Well…" the blurriness was going away and my ears were restoring themselves but the pain in my head and middle made higher thinking difficult at the moment "That's not good."

Both of my siblings seemed to take my continued consciousness as a good sign and Jason made to pick me up before a white blur marked Eric's appearance in front of us. I looked him over as well as I was able, his shirt was shredded, but ultimately he was fine.

"Sanna," he breathed, in relief? "You are hurt." His eyes roamed over me looking for damage,

"I'm a bit banged up." I agreed weakly as he leaned down and scooped me up instead of Jason who was about to make a scene before Sookie shushed him.

"I will take care of you when we get situated back at the hotel, the rest of the nest is moving there for the day." He was carrying me away from both Sookie and Jason, but I supposed that was ok as I saw Bill materialize next to them looking incensed.

"I'm glad you're ok." I whispered as he cradled me closer, making his way to a car that already had Godric in the back. He placed me next to him as he took the driver's seat and started to transport us away from the bloody scene, I lolled my head around and stared at Godric, he was frowning, looking back at the nest, and he seemed so sad.

"You know, it's not your fault." I quietly said as his head whipped around to stare at me, his expression tinged with disbelief

"That's nice of you to say." He murmured, his entire face broadcasting that he didn't think that at all.

"People will always fight what they don't know, even if this hadn't happened, they would have done something similar eventually." The pain had lessened for now, making coherence much easier as i tried to sort of comfort a 2000 year old vampire… how was this my life again?

"It is in man's nature to fear the unnatural." He seemingly agreed, but that wasn't what i was saying at all

"Haa, you're funny," I drawled, resting my head back as he frowned at me "You're just as natural as anything else, humans just don't like not being the top of the food chain." I snorted a bit in humor at my own cynicism while he remained silent, Eric in the front shot what could be called a worried glance back at both of us as we settled into silence.

Before long we pulled up at the hotel, the staffs having already been alerted to our situation were fast at getting everything together for Godric who needed to now meet with the AVL spokeswoman, Nan Flanagan. Apparently they were already covering what just happened with emergency appearances by both her and the Newlins.

We settled into a conference room as others trickled in to wait for her, at this point it was maybe 2 or 3 in the morning and I just wanted all of the good drugs and sleep, but I was not going to get any of those for a while yet. Finally she strolled in and proceeded to bitch out Godric with a force of personality that I could respect and fucking hate at the same time.

It was surprising that Sookie and Jason leapt to his defense as he just sat there and took everything she dished out at him, much to the consternation of Eric who was sitting beside me near Godric, He was eager to defend his maker, yet Godric seemed to want none of it.

Honestly, while I did want to say something, I refrained and just watched him as he accepted and passed his position to Isabel. Something was off with him, he was… cutting off his ties, and not reforming any, and he was exuding a sense of tired and resignation oh no… When we were finally dismissed by Nan, my fears were proven correct as Godric went to the roof, Eric, Sookie and I following.

I never want to seem Eric like this again. Was my thought as Godric said his goodbye to him, bloody tears trailed down his cheeks as he begged Godric to stay.

Father, Brother, Son. I could understand enough of their conversation to hear those words, the bond they had was unfathomable to humans who live such short lives in comparison.

"We're wrong, we don't belong here" was what he had to say to Sookie and I after he sent Eric off, both of us staying with Godric while he could not. And after the pain, stress, and utter bullshit I had put up with these past few days… I was not standing for him leaving without saying my piece and I made my way over to where he was standing while Sookie teared up at his words,

"Well I do have to thank you for one thing…"

YUP ending it there
