Eric's P.O.V
"Emilia!" I shot up from the bed and sped out of my hotel room. I zoomed down the stairwell until I came to the entrance to the parking garage. It being fully enclosed I did not have to worry about the sun. I arrived at the spot where I felt Emilia's distress I found nothing but a set of skid marks heading towards the exit. I looked around for any sign as to who might have taken her but I found nothing. I scanned the ceiling for security cameras but there were none in the area that she was taken in. "Damn." I muttered as I felt the beginning of the bleeds to trickle down my face.
I closed my eyes trying to find her with our bound. I could feel her she was near but I could not tell where, something was blocking mine connection to her. Letting out a frustrated growl my fist connected with the concrete wall to my right causing a spider web crack to form. I pulled my cell from my back pocket and tired calling her but it went straight to voicemail. "Fuck!" I growled, 'Someone is going to die.'
Emilia's P.O.V
I was on the hard floor of a van; the carpet was itchy against my skin. My head felt heavy as I tried to lift it and see the something other than passing buildings and the sun blinding my eyes, not that it would doing any good my vision was blurry. I could hear muffled male voices in front of me; I couldn't make anything out, it was all too hazy`. I felt some of my strength start to return to my arms. I rolled on my side looking for the handle of the door and the lock. 'If I wait for a stop I can roll out and hopefully not get run over.' I thought to myself, I'll worry about getting help once I'm out. It felt like hours before the car began to slow to a stop but it was worth it, more of my strength could return.
I felt the car come to a stop and i began to reach for the lock with shaky a hand, my fingers scratched the cold plastic as I pulled it up. Unfortunately the soft click of the door unlocking did not go unnoticed. My wrist was roughly yanked back by hard hands and pinned painful behind my back. "What do you think you're doing?" I heard someone growl.
"She trying to escape? Here tie her up." I heard another voice coming from the front.
'This is not good.' I began to squirm attempting to make it hard for the man holding me to do his task but my body was too weak from whatever I was given. It did no good as I felt rough prickly rope twine around my wrists. My wrists were so tightly bound I felt my fingers tingle with needles as I struggled to get myself free.
"Don't forget to gag her. We don't want her yelling for help when we get to the church." I heard the guy in the front mumble.
"Can't we just drug her more?" The man who finished tying my wrists together, asked.
"No we want her somewhat awake when we bring her in. If we dose her again she'll be out till late tonight."
"You're right. It's just so much of a hassle it'd be easier if she was just out."
"Well it's not supposed to be easy, you know he has plan for us all. Praise his light."
"Right, right, Praise his light." The man's hard calloused hand snatched my head by my hair, "Open your mouth." I heard him his and I saw a small bundle of white cloth come into my line of sight. I held my mouth shut, "Open your fucking mouth before I make you." He growled this time and I started to struggle, feebly. His arm circled around my neck forcing me to arch more and I stifled a scream as my back moved to far. "Open your god damn mouth." Tears began to prick at the corner of my eyes.
"Oh for the love of a," I head a seatbelt come on done and someone shifting in the front of the van. "Do I have to solve every problem?" I felt fingers pinch my nose closed. "Now she either has to breathe or pass out. Either way gets the job done." This man's fingers were cold and bone, they sent shivers down my spine.
I don't know how long I held my breath but between the drugs and uncomfortable position I could not hold it for long. The moment I opened my mouth the white cloth was shoved to the back of my throat causing me to gag. To add extra measure they placed a strip of duck table over my mouth. The man let go of me and I fell back to the itchy van floor. The two men began to talk again.
"I heard the blonde is a can hear peoples thoughts."
'They're talking about Sookie.' I was beginning to put the puzzle together; these men were from the Fellowship of the Sun. 'How do they know about me? And what Sookie can do?'
"Yeah, I don't know what this one can do, but he said that she was important to one of the vampires. The Reverend figured we may be able to get a few more vamps with taking these two." I heard them chuckle. "We'll be roasting so marshmallows at soon enough."
I felt the drugs from earlier combined with my struggling begin to take their toll on me again, focusing became hard. I tried to keep myself awake by biting the inside of my lip but it was of no use; I just laid my head back down on the itchy carpet closing my eyes.
When I came to I was laying on cold, hard floor. I found as I shifted my position on the ground my hands were no longer tied but ugly red rope burns remained. I sat up inspecting my wrist; I touched my fingers lightly to the soars and hissed retracting my hand. "Ow." I pouted to myself. I looked around the small room I was in, if you could call it that. I was in a small storage space with chain link walls on two sides one if the walls was connected to another storage room and the other had a door with a thick chain keeping it shut; there were shelving units lining the two solid walls and were packed with brown dusty cardboard boxes and other junk. "Well this is organized." I thought sarcastically. They really thought their kidnapping plan through, taking the human of a thousand year old vampire, 'Perhaps not the best idea.' I was trying to figure out if there was anything in this space that I could use to escape. I stood up on shaky legs and made my way to the closest shelf. As I finished searching the first few shelves and coming up with nothing I heard screaming I made my way to the where I could look out into the hallway.
I looked down the hallway and could see four people struggling at the top of a dark stairwell. I heard a woman calling for help 'Sookie?!' I thought; I heard a deep grunt then someone was thrown down the stairs, it was a man "Hugo?" He was knocked unconscious. Shortly after Hugo had fallen down the stairs a large bald man in dark gray sweats came down smirking. He picked up Hugo by the collar of his shirt and dragged him to the door.
"GET OFF ME. Let me go! Let ME GO! HELP!" I heard Sookie yell as she was dragged in by man in a suit, I recognized him instantly it was Steve Newlin. I could tell Sookie was putting up a fight.
"Gabe help me!" Newlin called out and the man in the gray sweats went to help drag Sookie to the small storage room I was in. They flung Sookie in the storage room then Hugo who was starting to come to and the door was immediately shut and locked behind her. "You're making a big mistake!" Sookie yelled as she ran to the shut door grabbing the linked wall in her hands. "Fuck." I heard her mumbled under her breath. She turned from the door and finally saw me and raised a confused brow, "Emilia what in the world are you doing here?"
"I got drugged and kidnapped by some church freaks." I explained leaning against one of the shelves I still felt week from the drugs. 'What the hell did they slip me?'
Sookie nodded and ran to the fence wall, "Godric! Godric can you hear me. Isabel and Eric sent us. I know he's down here somewhere. I heard all the awful things they plan to do to him." She turned to see Hugo now standing.
"You know what I said about being claustrophobic, that was all true." Hugo began to hyperventilate. He started to list things off that made him uncomfortable. I saw Sookie wasn't really paying attention to him she was looking around the room.
She stopped in front of a pile of board games "Jesus Christ Vampire slayer, Silver and Stakes, Send Them Back to Hell, so sick teaching kids to hate like this."
"Sookie." Hugo snapped, "I don't have times for games right now. I need to get out of here." I could see the panic flowing off of him.
"Hey, hey," I began walking towards him, "It's okay we'll get out of this." I placed a comforting hand on his arm. "Now just breathe, look at me okay?" He began to calm down.
"I'm okay, I'm okay." Hugo sat down his breathing started to steady.
"The Newlin's knew who Hugo and I were when we walked in, the same way they knew to come after me at the airport. Cause someone at that the nest is a traitor."
"You think a vampire is siding with the fellowship to get Godric out of the way." Hugo suggested.
"Stan? Because he wants to be sheriff? I've heard of ambitious but that's just crazy." Sookie answered.
"Stan's a jerk but I don't think he would do it." I responded. I hadn't seen anything to prove my statement I just had a gut feeling about it.
"You two met him he would rip our throat outs for looking at him sideways." Hugo continued with his vampire idea.
Sookie walked away a little like she realized something, "Bill had to have sensed my fear he's going to come storming through this church any second now."
"And you don't seem happy about that because?" Hugo asked.
I raised a brow at this 'Where's Eric? I figured it was still day, But it must be close to night.' I frowned at this, 'Why hasn't Eric come?' I sat down on the floor but then I thought, 'Eric is very calculative he wouldn't just barge in without everything being in his favor. And I am in no immediate danger at least right now.'
"These fanatics are about to barbeque at two thousand year old vampire in front of their entire congregation. Who knows what they're capable of?" She said more to herself then us.
"They're probably figuring out a plan before they come storming the front gates." I threw out. Sookie did not seemed pleased by my suggestion.
I'm not entirely sure when I actually fell asleep but I woke up with my back and neck aching when Steven and Gabe walked in, rolling a few water bottles under the chain link wall. "How'd you all sleep?" He asked a creepy perky smile dawned his face.
"Their coming for us you know." Sookie stated.
"That's what I thought. I figured a few pretty girls like you would have some vamps coming to your rescue. But we're ready for them; we actually hoping for it weren't we Gabe?"
Gabe who stood behind him at attention answered "Yes sir, bring it on." he was still wearing the same sweats from yesterday.
"You're going to get yourself killed." I said standing next to Sookie.
"They got you all twisted up, with their glamouring, their empty promises and that evil blood." Steve chuckled.
"You're the ones who are twisted, you call yourself Christians. Jesus will be ashamed of you." Sookie spat.
Newlin laughed at this, "We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on that one." Steve grabbed a chair from a stack against a wall and sat down. "Things got a little out of hand yesterday and I apologize for that. I'm not the monster the vampire loving media makes me out to be."
"Bullshit, I was drugged, tied up, and gagged by your lackeys." I glared at him crossing my arms and then quickly adjusting them to accommodate my raw wrists.
"I apologize for that as well; we did not expect you to wake up before you arrived here." Steve just smiled like some slimy politician.
"Why the fuck did you take me in the first place?" I asked.
"All I want from you is some answers and I'd be more than happy to feed you a nice hot breakfast and send you on your way." Steve explained, my stomach growled at his mention of food I hadn't really eaten anything yesterday before I was taken maybe a piece of fruit but nothing more.
"What do you want to know?" Hugo asked standing up, all eye turned to him.
"Shut up." Sookie turned to him.
"Sookie we need to get out here. Her name is Sookie Stackhouse, she's Emilia Blanchard and I'm Hugo Ayres. We were sent here by the vampires of area 9 to find their sheriff." Hugo confessed looking more disheveled by the minute.
"I wasn't sent, kidnapped. Just throwing that out there." I interjected looking between Hugo and Steve. When I turned to Steve I saw his face dropped, 'He looks like someone ran over his puppy.'
"Sookie Stackhouse… from Bon Temps?" He asked confused.
"How do you know where I'm from?" She asked.
"Your Jason Stackhouse's… Sister, right?" He questioned finding it hard to speak.
"You know Jason? He's got nothing to do with this." Sookie defended.
"Come on Gabe." Steve got up and headed for the door with his lap dog following him.
"How do you know my brother?" She shouted after them. "Nice work." She shot at Hugo.
"Hey we waited all night for your all boyfriends to show up. You two can on play damsel in distress all you want, but one way or another I'm getting us out of here."
"Oh shut the fuck up, Isabel could have very well come to rescue you as well." I snapped at him turning the tables. He turned from us and huffed before kicking some empty boxes. "Big strong man he beat up cardboard boxes." I mumbled sitting down. I leaned against a large box and closed my eyes.
The second my eyes shut images began flash appearing from the darkness, I saw Steve and Sarah standing over another man who was kneeling in front of them it looked like to be on part of the church. I couldn't see the kneeling man's face. The image and I was now seeing things from behind the Newlins, I could see the man, and it was Hugo. Another image began to play across my sight, it was Hugo at a the bar in the hotel, he was whispering to someone down the bar form when Sookie and I were talking yesterday. The next image shown was the person with Hugo dropping something in a drink. 'My drink.' I shot up my eyes opening to see Sookie grabbing Hugo's wrist pulling it from the door and she froze.
"It was you! You're the traitor." She said mortified.
I stood up next to her "You were the one that drugged me." I glared at him.
He backed away from us "No I was it, that was Mark, he was one of the men that took you as well." Hugo had backed himself into a corner sliding down to the ground.
"How does that make it better?" I spat vehemently. 'Where is something I can bash his head with?'
While I searched Hugo started to explain his and Isabel's relationship and how at first his relationship was great, the mind blowing sex and how addicting it was. He went on to say how his life changed since he got together with Isabel.
"Boo who your life changed." I muttered. "You're not the only one who has to deal with shit from vampires."
"I begged her to turn me. So we could finally be equals together. But they don't want us to be equals she's just been using me. Same way Bill's been using you." He looked at me "And Eric's been using you."
"You don't know Bill."
'Eric's a vampire who's over a thousand years old of course he's a little out of touch with how he should treat humans.' I thought.
"I know he and his friends have you doing their dirty work. A telepaths got to be a real trophy for a vampire." Hugo's gaze landed on me again. "I don't know what the hell you are, but you got to be something special if a thousand year old vampire wants you."
"Shut Up!" Sookie snapped at him.
"Yeah and you must be a special piece of shit for someone to want you." I countered.
"All they care about is their own kind. That's why I joined the Fellowship."
"If you so damn important to the Newlin's why are you still in here. Face it your just fang banging whore to them." Sookie stated in a very calming, scary tone.
Hugo got up, "Gabe! They know everything now. You can let me out now." He called out to the empty hallway.
"Well this is just is fan-fucking-tastic." I groaned sitting down trying to get comfortable.
The three of us sat in silence for what felt like hours. The quiet was broken when we heard a door open and Gabe, who had a nasty shiner on his eye, stormed in flinging open the door to the storage room. "Gabe," Hugo was the first to speak "What happened to your face? Listen they know everything, which never would have happened if you didn't leave me down here with a god damn mind reader. I hope the Reverend know that I'm gonna need protection now."
Gabe responded by throw a right hook to Hugo's jaw. "You want protection you fang banging sack of shit? How's that for protection?" Gabe continued to punch Hugo.
"STOP IT!" Sookie yelled before jumping on Gabe's back trying to get him to stop his assault on the now unconscious Hugo.
'God damn it Sookie! Being a shining beacon of goodness. Now you're in trouble.' I thought there was no way I could stop Gabe on my own. I looked around for something that I could use as a weapon, 'Nothing damn it! DAMNIT!' there was nothing I could use; at this point Gabe had his hands around Sookie's throat. I could hear her gasping for air, 'Here goes nothing.' I thought as I ran up to Gabe and Sookie. I tried to grab onto Gabe's arm, pulling at his elbow but he was too strong. Gabe shook free his arm and elbowed me I the face which sent me crashing on the hard ground. A wave of nausea overcame me and bile rose to my throat. I could hear Sookie's screams as I tried to shake the stars from my vison.
I gust of wind blew by me and seconds later Sookie's screaming stopped. "Godric?" I heard her ask. I looked around the room as my vision started to clear up to see a young looking man with dark hair and tattoos holding Gabe up by the collar of his sweatshirt.
"Godric it's me." Gabe chocked out. Godric took Gabe's neck in his hands and snapped it like a twig dropping him to the floor; a look of disgust crossed his face.
"You should not have come." He spoke looking down at us.
Sookie was about to respond when we heard screams coming from above us. "Bill!?" Sookie called standing up looking around.
"No. I'm here my child, down here." Godric responded.
"Eric." I called to him when he appeared in the door way.
"Godric." Was all he said when kneeled in front him. The look on his face, I had never seen him have before. His normal stoic façade and cocky grim were replaced by relief and awe.
"You were a fool for sending humans after me." Godric stated as he looked down at Eric; Eric who on his knees was almost as tall as Godric.
"I had no other choice. These savages seek to destroy you." Eric did not look at first but slowly looked up at him as he finished his explanation.
"I'm aware of what they have planned. This one betrayed you." Godric gestured to Hugo.
"He's with the Fellowship. The set a trap for us." Sookie explained.
"And they kidnapped me." I added standing up, 'This has not been a fun trip so far.' Between the drugs and be hit in the head and not eating for two days I felt very shaky.
"How long has it been since you feed?" Eric asked I could hear the concern in his voice.
"I require very little blood." Godric answered. When Godric pause his explanation the fire alarm began to go off. "Save the humans. Go on."
"I am not leaving your side" Eric started but was stopped by a command from his maker.
"I can take care of myself." He scolded Eric, "Spill no blood on your way out."
"We have to go." Sookie said grabbing my arm and pulling me forward I stumbled. Eric motioned for Sookie to go up the stairs as he took me from her. He wrapped an arm around my waist supporting my weight.
"You're hurt." Eric pulled my head closer to examine my wrist.
"I'll be fine once we leave here." I answered pulling my hand from his grasp wrapping my arms around him. 'He maybe a vampire but he makes me feel warm.'
We reached the top of the stairs we heard Newlin's voice comeover the inter come giving instruction for the church goers to leave the building. Eric placed me against the wall behind him as he looked around the corner at the front of the church. "I could have you two out of here in seconds."
"There are children out there." Sookie stated, knowing what kind of path Eric was planning to take.
"None of those humans would think twice about hurting us." Eric answered as he scanned the area.
"Why didn't you bring Bill with you?" Sookie asked.
"His attachment with you is irrational it clouds his judgment. He'd kill every child in here to get to you."
"Why aren't you? They did take Emilia after all."
"I am following orders from Godric and getting you out." I
"He's your maker isn't he?" She asked. Eric turned his attention back to the entrance of the church as the doors were shutting. He began to move out of our hiding spot.
"Eric!" I whispered grabbing his sleeve.
He turned to me, leaned down to my ear "Trust me." His lips brushed the shell of my ear. He then walked out slouching his posture and approached three men who were at the door, "Hey ya'll how's it going? Steve sent me to man the exit here."
I couldn't really hear they're conversation from our spot but I was watching the men closely as the started to surround Eric. One of them raised a stake and was aiming for Eric's heart.
"STAKE!" Sookie and I warned. In seconds Eric subdued the men. He had one of them by the throat ready to stab him with his own stake.
"Eric," She ran up to him I followed closely behind her. "You don't have to kill him." He growled threw the stake to the ground and dropped the man.
"Come," He grabbed my hand and opened the door to peek out; I looked around him to see a group of armed Fellowship members heading back to the church.
"Those arrows are wooden you won't make it out of here." The man Eric was going to kill a moment ago stated.
"The Sanctuary." Sookie lead us to set of double doors.
"Where's the exit?" Eric asked.
"That way." Sookie answered as we hurried through the room.
"There are several exits actually." We saw Steve standing at the front of the room. "The easiest one takes you straight to hell." As he finished speaking doors flung open in members of the church armed with sliver and stakes flooded the room.
"Just let us go. No one has to die." I tried to explain. I knew if they didn't let us leave the outcome would not be pretty.
"The war has begun you evil whores of Satan. You vampires cast the first stone by killing my family. You either are with us or against us."
"The vampire you had escaped he's a sheriff he'll send help." I warned them.
"I'm not concerned with Godric, any vampire will do for our celebration and we got one right here." He smiled as he pointed to Eric.
I squeezed Eric's hand stepping closer to him. He turned to me pulling his hand away, "I'll be fine." He pushed me toward Sookie and stepped forward.
"Brothers and sisters we'll have a holy bon fire at dawn." Steve raised his arms up and looked to the sky.
"Eric." I called to him, "Don't." I whispered I made a move towards him but he held his hand out to me silently tell to stay where I was. I bit my lip and moved back closer to Sookie. I heard what happens when vampires touch sliver and worse when the meet the sun.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." He answered as someone wrapped a chain around his throat. He let out a growl and I could see his skin sizzling.
"No." I tried to get to Eric but one of Newlin's flunkies grabbed me. I watched helplessly as they forced him to the table behind Steve, the stripped him of his jacket and forced him down draping sliver over him. "No, let him go!" I struggled. Steve started to spew so religious bullshit that I hardly payed attention to. All I could focus on was Eric being burned by the silver. Tears pricked the corner of my eyes 'He's doing this for us.'
"I offer myself in exchange for Godric's freedom and the girls' as well." Eric groaned in pain.
There were screams coming from outside and the hall's doors were ripped open and Bill came running in "Sookie!"
"One more step vampire and the girls die." Steve pulled a gun on Sookie.
"If you shoot her everyone here will die." Bill threatened.
"Honestly what do they see in you? Some silver chains for our friend here."
"Don't, he hasn't done anything." Sookie tried to plead as men with chains walked to Bill.
"Sookie I will be fine." Bill countered.
"NEWLIN!" I heard someone yell before I heard a splat and saw green paint appear on Steve's hand. I turned to see Jason holding a paint ball riffle. "LET HER GO." Jason fired off another shot before being grabbed, Steve was hit right in between the eyes. There were gasps of horror and shock; Bill used this distraction to fling away the Fellowship members that were holding us away. He embraced Sookie holding her close to him.
I quickly ran up to where Eric was being restrained and pulled the chains off of him. Eric sat up the burns from the chains already starting to heal. In a blur he had Steve throat pinned to the ground baring his fangs and growling at him. "You hurt people important to me." He snarled.
"Eric, don't kill him." Sookie pleaded. While I was thinking kill the asshole, I don't see any good coming from him being alive.
"Murder us, murder us before God. We are willing to die." Steve said panting.
At the moment Stan came strutting in with his followers. "Steve Newlin, you have pushed us too far. You expect us to sit on our thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us, we'll kill you first. Same way we did your father."
'Well this isn't good.' I thought.
"Destroy them, all of them." Stan growled baring his fangs and in seconds members of the Fellowship were grabbed by the bicker gang of vampires.
Before I could move to Eric's side I felt an arm wrap around my neck. "Eric!" I squeaked out.
In a blur the vampire that grabbed me was flung away. "She is mine." He barked. Eric snaked an arm around my waist and I buried my face in his chest.
'I am so done with all of this.' My fingers grasped his black shirt. All I wanted was go back the hotel eat a huge burger and go to be with Eric.
"Enough." A voice echoed throughout the church. Everyone looked up to see Godric standing on the railing of the balcony. "You came for me I assume." He looked down at Stan. "Underling?" Stan let out an affirmative growl. "These people have not harmed me. You see we can coexist. Mr. Newlin I do not wish to create bloodshed when none is called for. Help me set an example; if we leave you in peace will you do the same?"
"I will not negotiate with subhumans." Steve kneeled in front of Eric and me undoing his tie and showing his neck "Kill me Jesus will protect me."
"I am actually older than your Jesus, I wish I could have known him but I missed it." Godric smirked a little before disappearing and reappearing behind Steve forcing him to stand by the collar of his suit "Good people, who is willing to die for this one's madness?" There was a long pause. "That's what I thought. Stand down everyone. Go home. It's over now." With that both vampire and human alike left the church. "I daresay my faith in human kind is stronger than yours." He spat. "Come." Godric commanded to the remaining vampires to follow him. He looked to Eric and me "You must be Emilia." I nodded, "Once you have feed and rested, we have things to discuss." With that Godric left the church.
Eric led me from the church, "So are we going to Godric's now?" I yawed leaning more into him.
"Yes." He brushed a hand through my hair then hooked an arm under my knees lifting me from the ground. "Rest min lilla an." Eric kissed my forehead. I wrapped my arms around his neck before burying my face in his chest.
When I woke up Eric was placing me on of the couches Godric living room. "Eric?" I asked sitting up.
"I must check in with Godric." Eric cupped my check. "Joanna here will find you something new to wear and something to eat. I will return shortly." Eric left me in the company of a red head vampire wearing a graphic T and leather pants.
"You can call me Jo. Come let us see what Isabel has to offer." She smiled at me with ruby lips. Jo extended her hand to me and led me to Isabel's room. "Would you like to shower off before changing?" I nodded I felt disgusting. "Shower's through there, I'll have something on the sink before you're done."
I found myself in a pristine white bathroom with stainless steel fixtures. I turned the nobs to the shower and stripped my clothes before stepping under the welcoming mist. 'God this feels good.' I thought as lathered my body with soap while trying to work out the kinks. I heard the door up with a whoosh and I quickly shut again. I stepped out of the shower, grabbed a towel from the rack over the toilet. I was in awe at how fluffy it was as I enveloped it around my body. I let the towel fall to the ground as I picked up the clothes. I picked up dark gray long sleeve wrap style shirt with a leather belt that had a brass buckle. Under the shirt was a pair of white ripped skinny jeans; that I had to roll up the cuff because Isabel was good few inches taller than me in the leg department. I pulled my boots up and loosely laced them then exited the bathroom. I found Jo sitting on the bed filing her nails when I came out; she reminded me of Pam.
"It's not perfect but it will have to do. I'm sure Eric will enjoy it. Come there is food in the dining area." Jo left the bedroom beckoning me to follow. In the time that I arrived and when I returned to the living room a whole slew of vampires and their human companions arrived
"So do you know Eric well?" I asked her as she led me to the food table.
"A couple hundred years, we lived in the same area for a while in France but we parted ways, when my lover wanted to move." She answered.
"Oh so you two weren't a" I tried to finish my sentence but it just trailed off. "I mean it doesn't really matter he's over a thousand years old I'm sure he's had hundreds of relationships both vampire and human." I started to ramble; here I was getting flustered about a guy like some high school crush. I grabbed a plate of finger sandwiches and cheeses.
Jo gave me a smile, "Do not worry, I have met many of Eric's lovers over the years but none of them have seemed to captivate him the way you do." She looked over my shoulder and gave a nod; I turned to see who she was looking at. I turned just in time to see Eric approach.
"Hello lover." He placed a hand on the small of my back, "Let me see your wrist?" He took the plate from my hand placing it on the table then pushed my sleeves down he frowned when he saw scabs and bruising had started to appear. "I am sorry I could not get to you sooner."
"It's alright, I wasn't in any real danger, well I was scared shitless at first but after that I was more pissed." I looked up at him and smiled.
"I know," He did not looked pleased, he sighed dismissing the thought and bit into his wrist. "Drink." I looked around there were a lot of people here, "It is alright, drink." Eric whispered bring his wrist to my mouth. I only took a few sips of his blood, "Good girl; Godric would like to speak with you now." Eric took me to a smaller sitting room where Godric had just dismissed a vampire that was showing his respect and gratefulness for returning. I noticed Godric had changed to a low cut black shirt that showed his upper chest tattoo.
'I wonder what other tattoos he has?'
"Emilia it is a pleasure to meet you under better circumstances." Godric stood and greeted us as we approached him. "Please have a seat."
"How are you doing Godric?" I asked him sitting on the love seat next to the chair he was receiving guest in moments ago. Eric sat next to me his hand not leaving my back.
"I am well thank you," He smiled at me. "Let us not waist time with pleasantries, as I said earlier we have things some things to discuss, about you in particular."
"So you know what I am?" I asked.
"What you are exactly is hard to decide for your ability spans many cultures." Godric began, "But by your appearance I have a feeling you belong to the Fae of Celtic lure. Your pale skin, green eyes," Godric listed off some of my physical features. "I am not quite sure what exactly you are specifically those of the Fae are many and their talents cross many creatures."
"What do you mean?" I asked, 'I need to know what I am.'
"Druids, elves and fairies to name a few all possess the power of precognition." Godric explained. "There is a chance with how Eric described the growth of your powers that you will develop more abilities. But it is too early to tell, you are still young. With you being part human it is uncertain what exactly will happen."
The next chapter we'll experience some Emilia and Eric alone time ;)
Please enjoy and don't forget to review, favorite and follow.
Till next time :) 3
