This part will have nothing from the series in it. KPKisses thanks for the idea, u know which one ;)

Sighing in pleasure I shifted from my front to my back, the roof beneath me making a surprisingly comfortable lounge. The markings on my back moved and swayed with the wind; soaking up what was left of the nearly set sun. I sensed the instance it disappeared; it felt like somebody had sucked away all the happiness in my life... thankfully I adjusted quickly as always. There was a gust of wind to the left of me, great the sun goes to sleep and the Vampires come out to play.

"Gabriella." I didn't bother to glance over at Godric, though I was slightly surprised it was not Eric coming to torment me. I was however still pissed at my 'friend', for leaving me to the mercy of Eric.

"W...what do you want?" the slight shuffle next to me indicated him sitting down, he was no doubt thinking I was going to jump off the roof and end it all so to speak.

"To talk Child and to apologise, it was wrong of me to betray your trust and leave you with Eric... Did he harm you?"

"No more t...than usual" I levelled my gaze at him. "Wh...Why do you force me to stay with him? Don't bother d...denying that you could hide me, or help me to escape him." Godric's eyes clouded over for a moment and in that second I could practically feel his regret, but sadly for me his determination was still there. As always Godric's Aura was shockingly subdued, despite myself it saddened me to see him so down.

"I feel that you may be the key to changing him Gabriella, helping him."

"W...well forgive me fo...for not wanting to help the monster who holds me captive." A loud crashing noise interrupted the quite peace around us; my guess was Eric had thrown something when he discovered me gone. Looking down I suddenly realised that I was wearing only a bra and shorts, stupid idea to sun tan.

"I can sense it you know." Startled at his voice and the change in topic, I watched as Godric's hand ran down my arm. Shivers erupted in its wake and I stifled the need to move closer; not for desire but companionship.

"Sense what?"

"The sun Child, you are embodied with it. It took me awhile to understand why you attracted Vampires. It's because you are a constant reminder of what we have lost, can you imagine never feeling the bright and warm rays you love so dearly again?" His beautiful and pain filled eyes met mine for a second, "never become like me Gabriella, it would destroy you." And then suddenly he was gone; swallowing deep I contemplated what he had said. True becoming a Vampire would destroy me, so why would he believe that I would choose that fate?

Standing I made my way over to the window I used to climb up here; taking one last look at the fading sunset I climbed back through. It took me a second to reach my prison and an instant to notice all the commotion around it. Inside was Eric throwing stuff around in a rage, while Edgington was watching impassively and Talbot was franticly trying to get the guards to stop Eric's tirade. The entire situation may have been funny, had I not known the enormous amount of NUCLEAR trouble I was about to be in. Edgington noticed me almost immediately; his slight smirk however gave away his knowledge of me always being on the grounds. I nodded in greeting to him, manners meant a lot to me and so far Edgington had not harmed me.

"Mr Northman I do wish you would stop destroying my home, Talbot is rather bothered by it." Edgington's drawl was slightly amusing even to me; I tampered down a smirk at seeing Eric being patronized.

"How could you let this happen my King, she was supposed to be secure... HOW THE FUCK DID SHE GET OUT?" to my shock Edgington didn't blink or seem bothered by Eric's outburst, simply more amused.

"Well she can open any lock Mr Northman and there was the matter or Franklin's pet escaping, perhaps they were in cahoots." His voice suddenly dropped into an annoyed tone "but then again she is your bonded pet Mr Northman. You should be more careful with your belongings." Obviously Edgington knew that that would piss me off, I stomped forward and spoke without thinking.

"Fir...Firstly your Majesty (didn't hurt to stand to formality) I am n...not his pet. OR h...his belonging." Before I could finish my already planned speech about freedom for all Angel's and mythical creature alike, Eric grabbed me by the arms and shoved me into my now destroyed room. Yelping I was stopped from hitting the ground by instead hitting Eric's chest, man he is fast.

"Majesty I beg forgiveness for the impudence of my Pet, she does not yet know her place." I opened my mouth to argue but his icy hand slammed over it, only an annoying squeak came out as a result. I only resisted the urge to lick his hand because I knew that twisted prick would enjoy it.

"Not to worry Mr Northman, I well remember training a new Pet. Talbot here was quite the little devil before I decided to turn him."

"Only because you where such a bastard my love." The utter adoration in Talbot's voice was unmistakable; Ulgh Vampires are so messed up. I however couldn't help but feel jealous for the love I could sense between the consort and his King, a small part of me wished that I could have even a fraction of that deep emotion from somebody.

Edgington turned back towards Eric, "be sure not to be too rough Mr Northman... she is unique and I would be displeased if something happened."

"Rest assured my King, I will handle the Angel well." Thankfully for Eric, Edgington and Talbot were gone before I stomped my foot down on his. The guards, who were normally emotionless, cracked a slight grin as they closed the doors; shockingly Eric had managed not to destroy the silver monstrosities.

Growling in annoyance Eric spun me around, his hand leaving my mouth. For a second he seemed to take in my features, unconsciously his fingers ran through my hair... then tightened. Wincing in pain I was forced to look into Eric's cold eyes, eyes that moments ago had seemed in almost reverence of me.

"Where were you?"

I answered without thought "o...on the roof" his fingers released their tight hold and began absently massaging my head, sometimes I had the feeling that he couldn't bring himself to hurt me for too long.

"Why?"

"I am a...an Angel remember? I just n...need the light, the warmth." My voice drifted out pure as I spoke, the memory of the sun making my lids heavy and limbs compliant. Eric didn't fail to notice the change, but it didn't deter him from his obvious task.

"Why did you not try and escape Pet?"

"N...not your Pet" his hands pressed hard for a second before relaxing. "And wh...why would I escape? Where could I possibly h...hide from you?" That and the fact that Franklin was going to die by my hands; something only possible if I stayed here in my prison. Eric seemed pleased with my answer, his fingers continued a soft trail over my shoulders. I glanced quickly around my room, everything was destroyed, only the mattress had survived Eric's fury and it was still covered in the remains of the four poster bed frame. Eric followed my eyes and landed on the mattress, a look I recognised entered his eyes. Despite myself I felt my body respond, however my mind was still mine.

"N...No" I backed away, a feeling entered me that Eric wanted to catch me. His predatory gaze said it all as he subtly and silently followed me, somehow sidestepping all the debris on the floor far more gracefully than I ever could.

"You are to allow me to feed from you whenever I wish." He stepped forward as my back met the silver door, I knew he wouldn't want to get too close to it.

"You c...can't possibly need to feed yet, I know V...Vampires need not feed every d...day."

"True but then our agreement was for me to feed whenever I wish, not whenever I need." Stupid bloodsucking fiend and his obviously trickiness, note to self: next time get a contract. When Eric took another step forward I instinctively hissed, clamping my hand instantly over my mouth. The bane of my existence however didn't seem particularly bothered, merely amused. He moved another step closer and held out his hand, "come". Pissed off I shook my head no; his eyes narrowed and he moved directly in front of me.

"Why bother continuing to defy me Gabriella? I will always get what I want from you."

"Can y...you drink my blood from a glass?"

"And deny myself the pleasurable taste of your skin and the quiver in your body when you try and fight against the inevitable is just... endearing." Rather than be angry at his words, I was sad because I knew I could never fight against him. With that realisation came a sudden clarity, he could drink from me but then I was damn certain I could specify where he drank from. Face blank I held out my arm, Eric looked down in surprise for a second before annoyance followed.

"You think to feed me from your wrist, as if I were a babe Vampire? You insult me Gabriella." To avoid having to respond I quickly used my nail's to slash a small marking into my wrist, let's see you resist that you overgrown Mosquito. As I predicted Eric's eyes instantly clouded over, I didn't bother hiding my smirk when he suddenly landed on his knees. It was no offer of allegiance or pledge of love, rather an instinctual need to be closer to my blood. A shockingly cold hand grasped my wrist softly; however my still warm skin instantly heated the appendage. Only a suck in of breath let me know when Eric was about to bite, it must be force of habit that he still pretended to need oxygen. His tongue licked up the running blood, before his sharp fangs sank into my vein. Hissing in a breath I was happy to discover I felt almost nothing when he bit me here, seemed like all my nerves were in my neck and other...places. After about a minute of him feeding I felt my body begin to feel the loss of blood.

"Eric y...you have to stop." If anything he began sucking harder, trying to pull my wrist away I gasped when the unwise move forced the bite mark wider, more blood dripped out as a result. Breathing heavily as my body tried to force blood to pump faster to meet the demands, my eyes clouded with black suddenly and my legs began shaking. Finally Eric drew his mouth away; swaying on my feet and the world around me unclear I hardly noticed being swept up into hard arms. My eyes opened for a second to stare into Eric's face, but I was unable to tell if he had drained me so thoroughly on purpose or by accident; as usual his face showed no outward emotion. My limbs began twitching when the blood flow left couldn't bring enough oxygen to them; a real feeling of dread filled me... Quickly followed by relief, was I finally escaping this hellish place?

"Don't you dare think of dying Gabriella, we both know how easily I could find you in the afterlife." I then knew that Eric had accidentally taken too much blood, joy consumed me for a second when he revealed he actually cared. I was softly laid down on the mattress, almost immediately a bloody wrist was held up to my mouth. As per-usual my fangs refused to work on Eric, so I simply sucked softly at the offered source, my only thoughts on survival. Finally Eric deemed me to have had enough; a slight woozy feeling began to sink in. Trying to sit up I failed and fell back, barely repressing the urge to giggle.

"Whaas wrong wid me?" Eric cursed softly under his breath, my now clear eyesight felt it acceptable to stare at his overwhelming beauty. "Ya know you should be a model" reaching up I softly touched his cheek bones, "or a god" the last part mumbled as an afterthought. It was funny I haven't felt this good since I outdrank a Vampire at Eric's bar; surly he wouldn't have drugged me.

"You get drunk far too easily Pet... if you're going to become Immortal you may want to fix that."

"Whys am I drunk?" sudden realisation entered me, had I driven Eric to drink and then had it transfer to me when I had his blood? Uncontrollable laughter flung itself out of my mouth, this was probably the closed to married I would ever get. I drive Eric crazy and he drinks to deal with it, hilarious.

Before I could tell Eric why I was so overjoyed, I found myself pinned under a mound of bricks.

"I see yous didn't take my advice about gaining weight, sss-like being sats on by a truck." Proceeding to laugh at the image of an actual truck sitting cartoon style on me, I failed to notice Eric's ire growing.

"How did Godric deal with you when you were last intoxicated?"

"He talked to me, said a lot of interesting things... I think. Anyway why you so mad, this is your fault."

"How" came the still angry reply.

"You drink the alcohol, drink from me, drink too much, feed me your intoxicated blood AND wolahh me drunk and you angry again. Can you even remember the last time you were happy Eric?" (Reminder that Gabriella losses her stutter when drunk, I know she was already drunk around Godric. But I needed for her to lose any inhibitions with Eric)

"Yes, I had just killed an annoying, drunk Angel who causes me nothing but grief." I smirked at Eric when he answered; decided against pretending to be offended he had tormented an Angel besides me.

"You would thinks that after thousand years alive you could lie, you don't find me annoying Eric."

He looked amused for a second and I doubted my course for a second, however my drunk mind just didn't care. Yawning slightly I shifted my body, unknowingly situation my legs open and either side of Eric's.

"What do I find you Gabriella."

"You find me a delightfully interesting and complex half-breed. Stuck between hating me for my insolence and loving me for it, you're unable to figure out whether I am good for you or bad for you. Thankfully that will always remain the question, as you now cannot do without my blood...hence why you nearly killed me, but then saved me." The sober sentence was the best I could do from reading his Aura, but to me it was quite accurate and going by the look on Eric's face I had hit the nail on the head with my words.

Yes I am ending it on this almost cliff hanger, I wanted to ask you all whether I should make it a smut scene next or something else...

As always thanks for reviewing and I look forward to your ideas
