Recap
"Later, my little empath," he promises me, "We have company now."
"But-."
"Later." He repeats, not backing down.
"Fine..." I sighed angrily.
'Typical' Hours with people I would rather not spend time with. Hours before I could get him to myself. Sometimes I really hated it, that he is the Sheriff.

Chapter Eight
MPOV
The house was packed with vampires and humans. All where here to welcome Godric back.
A line started to form, as Godric and I sat down in the den room. Many of whom I knew, some I didn't. Godric pulled me closer to him as both vampires and humans came up and welcomed him back. I looked around the room, hoping I would see Sookie. I really wanted to thank her personally for the help she has done for us. I couldn't see her, but I could sense she was close.
I turn my attention back to the queue of people that formed in front of us. Stan I took notice had made his way up to Godric.
"Welcome home sheriff," Stan said at little to happily, "We're all very relieved."
Godric said nothing to him but nodded his head. Taking that as a sign, Stan, made a quick exit. Idiot!
Next to step up was the man with the blonde hair that gave Newlin the right hook. He stood nervously in front of us.
"Well, I just want to say I'm real sorry for what the fellowship put you through." He said quickly and turned to leave, but Godric spoke up before he could leave.
"You helped save many lives today, . Please know you have friends here whenever you visit." Stackhouse? Stackhouse? Where have I heard that name before? Oh! Sookie Stackhouse. I looked closer to the man and noticed that he resemble Sookie. Must be her brother or something? Strange! He doesn't have a light arua around him like Sookie does. Wonder why that is?
"Thanks, man, but I don't know if I'll be wanting to come back anytime soon." Mr. Stackhouse replied with a shy grin.
Godric half smiled, as if he knew what meant.
Looking back up Mr. Stackhouse had left, huh, I didn't even get to thank him. I stood up quickly telling Godric I would be back in a moment. and went to find the man.
When I turned the corner I saw Eric and talking to one another.
Stackhouse looked and felt very nervous, while Eric stood there cockily; amused as Stackhouse stumble over some words that I couldn't hear.
Eric snorted a laugh as Stackhouse quickly walked away from him. He turned his head to the side and looked at me; knowing I was watching him. He didn't say anything as he strolled up to me, but smirked at me as he past by. I rolled my eyes and shook my head before heading towards .
" ?" I called out.
"Oh...hey...what..what can I do...ah...for you?" he stammered, his eyes darting behind me. He was probably thinking Eric was still lurking around.
I smiled at him, hope to easy him, "I just wanted to thank you, as well."
"Oh?"
"Yes. From what Godric said, you help save many lives, -"
"Please, call me Jason," he interrupted, " makes me feel old."
"Jason," I repeat, "Well anyways, I do hope you visit Dallas again. The place is quite wonderful, despite what happen."
"Yeah, Maybe." He said and started walking away, but I stopped him.
"Oh and Jason," I paused for a moment, much like he done with Newlin, before smirking at him. "Nice punch."
He look confused. Wow. How could he not know what I'm talking about?
"You, know, Newlin."
"Oh..uh...thanks." he chuckled, winking at me before turning and strutting away. I giggled at him as he stumbled over something.
I looked to my left and saw Eric was now talking to Bill, well more like having a heated argument on Bill's part, as Eric had the same smirk on his face from earlier. Was it me or did Eric just like to piss people off? Jeesh, I thought Stan was bad.
I was just about to go over and tell them to stop but Isabel came into the room with Hugo. She kicked the back of his legs, making him kneel in front of Godric. Wave of sadness washed through me as I looked at her. I needed to rein the shit in before everyone elsestarted to feel sorry.
"Here is the one that betrayed us." Isabel stated, gathering the attention of everyone.
"He's your human, is he not?" Godric asked Isabel.
"Yes, he is."
"Do you love him?" Godric asked her with a raise eyebrow.
"I thought I did." She whispered. My heart clenched as Isabel started crying. Wanting so badly to go over and hug her, tell her everything would be ok, that Hugo will live, that he wouldn't be harmed. But I knew I couldn't. This was a vampire affair. One that I had no part in. I was a human after all. It was up to Godric to pass judgment.
"It appears you love him still."
"I do." Isabel nodded, as she cried harder, "I'm sorry, but you are my Sheriff, do with him as you please."
Godric's eyes met mines before he looked down at Hugo, "You are free to go."
"Huh?" The Hugo replied, looking and feeling stunned like most around the room. Even I was surprised. I had expected Godric to do something. I'm not sure what, but certainly not letting Hugo walk free.
"What?" I heard Stan growl, outraged.
"The human is free to go." Godric restated, glaring over at Stan, before looking back down at Hugo, "And do not return. I fear it is not safe for you here."
"This is a travesty." Stan protested.
"This is my verdict" He stared at Stan before seeking out Eric.
"Eric, escort him out," He nodded towards Hugo, as Eric stepped up, "Make sure he leaves unharmed."
"Yes, Godric." Eric said, making his way to Hugo, grabbing by the collar and pulled him up and started leading him throughout the crowd. Isabel thanked Godric quickly followed them out.
I sat down beside Godric, taking his hands in mine, "That was a very nice thing that you did. But why? Why let him go free?"
"What would have me do? Let one of the others kill him? Have Stan torture him?"
"No, I guess not."
"I know how Isabel feels," he sighed, turning to look at me, letting one of my hands go and stroked my cheek, "She loves Hugo, much like the love I feel for you. I couldn't do that to her. And this is the best punishment I could give Hugo. Now he will have to live with the guilt of betraying the one he loves."
"I hope you're right." I mumbled, leaning my head on his hand as it caressed my cheek. I could stay like this forever. Just staying beside Godric, looking deep in his eyes, feeling loved and safe that looked deep within my soul but of course someone meaning Eric, had to spoil the moment.
"Hugo's been dispatched," Eric stated as he kneeled down in front of Godric, "I told him not to stop driving until he reached the Mexican border."
Godric nodded his head, acknowledging that he heard him.
"I've arranged for an AB negative human for you." Eric announced.
"What?" I snapped.
"Extremely rare," Eric continued, ignoring my heated glare at him. Who does he think he is? Offering Godric someone else. Did I do something to piss him off?
"Thank you," Godric nodded to Eric, "But I'm not hungry."
"Thank you? Thank you?" I hissed at Godric before getting up and walking away from them.
I was shaking with anger. Angry at Eric for offending Godric another human. Angry at Godric for not telling Eric were to go. I couldn't believe he just said 'Thank you'. I tried to calm myself down. It would not do well to make everyone in the house mad. Maybe some fresh air would do me good. I turned to make my way across the room but I froze on the spot, as fear consumed me, when I saw familiar vampire enter the house.
Oh shit
Lorena!
