Please forgive the lateness of this chapter. I was in-between minds to even continue due to a review on my other story, where someone has a problem with my spelling and non existing grammar. But then I thought NO! I'm not going to let one review spoil my enjoyment for writing. I let that happen once and I took all my stories down, and it took me forever to start putting them back up. I do hope you guys still continue to enjoy my stories. I have dyslexia and have spend my life trying to better myself so I do apologize in advance for mistakes. Please enjoy!

Chapter 4
Eric POV
"You have got to be joking me." I uttered incredulously, looking over the backyard of the church, "This is the Fellowship Of The Sun? That's their army? Scared little boys with Bibles and Crossbows?"
"Don't underestimate them," Isabel responded from beside me, "Support for their movement is growing. Their leadership camps are overflowing with self-righteous extremists. All willing and ready to die for their cause."
"That could be arranged quite easily." I hummed.
"Not if we know for sure that the Fellowship has Godric." Isabel
"What about your boy? Hugo? And Sookie? They've been in there too long."
"There's no sign of alarm." Isabel replied, "And if Hugo were in serious danger, I would know it. I felt something earlier, but it passed. He's okay now."
"Tell me," I began, turning to look at Isabel, "What is it that you find so fulfilling about human companionship?"
Isabel took a moment to answer, "They feel much more strongly than we do. Everything is urgent. Exciting. Maybe because their lives are so temporary."
"Yes, they certainly don't keep well." I commented, getting a snicker from her, "Don't you find the prospect of him growing old, sickly, crippled, somewhat, repulsive?"
"No," She replied, "I find it curious. Like a science project."
"How does Bill Compton feel about your interest in Sookie?" Isabel questioned.
"I'm not interested in Sookie. And even less in how Bill Compton feels." Looking back over to the church, "My only interest is finding Godric."
"Of course." Isabel stated, not truly believing me.
"Don't look at me like that," I said as I turned back to her, "Do you really believe those fools could overpower a vampire such as Godric and hold him for weeks?"
"Stan is sure of it," she replied, "But I have know Godric a long time. It's hard to believe anything could overpower him."
"Not anything human," I mumbled, my mind wondering to Madison, "And what of the girl?"
Ever since last night, I have been suspicious of her and the bond she has with Godric. Why has Godric taking a human companion? It is because of her gift? Or something more?
When I got to the hotel, I called my progeny Pam to run a background check on her. Not giving Pam much to go on, since I didn't know her last name. I gave Pam a description of Madison; light blue eyes, freckles along her noses, plumped roses lips. She had longer dark brown hair and stood at about 5'7 maybe 5'8.
Tonight Pam called back, giving me nothing.
No birth certificate. No diploma. No drivers licence. No passport. No back account.
It's like she doesn't exist.
So seeing her again tonight, made me wonder who this she was and where did she come from.
Isabel sensed my question as important, so she chosed her words carefully, "In all my time with Godric, nothing has ever captures his in interest. Until he found Madison," She paused then continued looking at me closely, "Like you, I was cautious of her. Godric has never taking an interest in a human before. What did this girl have to offer? Did she plan on causing him harm? So I need a background check on her, and learned that she was no danger to him or us."
"I also got one done on her, but it give me nothing," I told her, with a growl, "So how does that tell you she's no danger?"
"The reason you wouldn't find anything useful is because, Godric, deleted everything so no-one would know who she really was." she revealed.
"Why?" I demanded.
"You'll have to ask him," She explained, looking straight at me with a glare, "But do not let Madison find out about it."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not supposed to know about her past, no-one is," she huffed out, "I came across it by mistake. If you ask her then she'll think Godric betrayed her trust. And Godric will never forgive you for letting her know."
I nodded my head, conceding. I will take this up with Godric. I will find out what they're hiding.
"Does she love him?" I question.
"Very much," She stated without hesitation.
"And what of Godric?"
"Yes, I believe he does, in a way," She replied, looking thoughtful as she looked up to the sky, "When he's with her. There's light in his eyes, something I've never seen before." Isabel turned her head back to me, "Madison brought Godric happiness. For that I'll be forever grateful, as should you. Maybe you should get to know her better. You might understand her. And the happiness she's brought him."
Turning around Isabel headed back to the car.
I was lost in my thoughts of Madison as we headed back to the hotel.

"How can you eat that?" Stan complained again.
I huffed, "The same reason you drink blood Stan! To stay alive."
"Well, it smells disgusting." Yeah and blood smells like wine and chocolate.
I rolled my eyes at him, and continued to eat. I felt like I haven't eat in days. He is not going to stop me from enjoying it.
I spent the last hour stuck in a little hole they call an waiting room, so Stan could have his meeting with the hotel manger. Since he's came out all he has done is moan, like a child that didn't get the last cookie. I understand why no-one really likes him. He's a pain in the ass.
Stan suddenly looked over my shoulder and stood up, he grabbed my arm pulling me from the table, "Hey, I'm still eating that."
I stumbled over my feet, as Stan continued to drag me, "They're back." He said pointing to the front doors.
We met up with Isabel and Eric in the lobby, and Eric led us into the elevator.
Eric and Isabel updated us on what fellowship members were doing but nothing about Godric.
The elevator pinged as we reached a floor and followed Eric off the elevator. I stay a little bit behide Eric, while Isabel and Stan followed behind us. Bickering like little children.
Stan brought up Sookie and Hugo.
"Maybe the little rats ran off." He taunted Isabel, making me shake my head, "Joined the Fellowship themselves."
"Careful," Isabel hissed, "Hugo is mine."
"Oh, please," He scoffed, "If you cared for him so much, we would've been in that church hours ago."
"With no plan. No exit strategy." Isabel sneered, "That's why you'll never be Sheriff, Stan. You don't think."
"And you're too chicken shit to act." Stan grunted, "It's why you've been getting Godric's coffee for the past forty years."
I shook my head and rolled my eyes, as we came to a stop, at what I presumed to be Eric's suite.
"And you," Stan sneered, turning his attention towards Eric, "Fellowship has your maker and your telepath. And still you do nothing."
Isabel pulled me out the way just before Eric grabbed Stan by collar of the neck, pushing him up against the wall.
"Are you questioning my loyalty, Stan?" He questioned, calmly.
"Just tryin' to return Godric to his rightful position." Stan answered him.
"Oh really? Cause I think maybe you have another agenda." Eric stated before releasing him, "Maybe you think starting a war with Fellowship will distract us from the truth. That you are so starved for power, you murdered Godric for his title."
"That is a lie," Stan growled, stepping up to Eric, "How dare you accuse me?"
Isabel put a retraining hand on Eric chest, "Eric, we don't know this. There's no proof."
"Not yet. But I will find it. And when I do there will be no mercy." If what I've learn of Eric; Stan had better hide in the last place anyone would think to look.
"In the mean time, you two can stand here and quibble over his position." He said, looking between Isabel and Stan, "Or run into that church and kill them all, I no longer care."
Eric turned and walked towards his door, "If Godric is gone," He paused, "Nothing will bring back what I have lost."
My heart clenched at his words. Eric swiped the key on the door and stepping into his suite leaving us standing in the hallway. I stood still, looking at the closed door. How can he think Godric's dead? Why would he give up, when there's no proof? When he would have felt something?
"Come Maddie, I'll take you back to the house."
"Can I stay here a little bit longer?" I asked, looking at Isabel with pleading eyes, "I just want to talk to, Eric."
"Fine, but I will be back for you in an hour."
Mmm. She's actually allowing me to be in a room alone with Eric. Well, whatever the reason was, I was thankful. I nodded my head in agreement.
Stan and Isabel continue down the hallway bickering with one another.
Shaking my head, I took a deep breathe, and knocked on the door.
A second later the door flew opened.
"What?"
"Can I stay here, for awhile?" I murmured, not looking up, "I just wanted to talk to you."
"If you wish." Eric's voice came as he walked over to the couch, leaving me standing at the door.
Walking in, I closed the door, and made my way to the couch. I gasped as I saw blood tears drip down Eric face. I stopped just in front of him and just stared down at him. I felt a pang heartache, as I watched him. Waves of sorrow and anguish, washed though me.
"Eric," I whispered, concern for him. I raised my hand, to touch his cheek, only to have Eric grab it.
"Stop!" He hissed at me, throwing my hand away form him, "I do not want, nor need your sympathy."
Jeesh. I sighed and sat down beside him.
"He's not dead." I stated, calmly.
Before I could blink, Eric straddled me, pinning my arms to my side, my eyes snapped to Eric's as he leaned down closer to me.
"And how would you know that?" He asked, with a low growl, his eye flashed dark.
"Because I would have felt it. Just like you would have," I whispered, closing my eyes, "If...if he...died."
I released a breathe, I didn't realize I was holding as Eric released me and sat back down.
"How did you and Godric meet?"
"I told you last night," I said, sitting up straight, "None of your business."
"Godric is my business."
"Oh really? And where have you been all this time?"
"I've been getting on with my life. If you can call it that. But I've always been there for Godric. Even if not physically."
"I'm still not telling you," I huffed out, "And don't bother to glamour me, cause I will knock you on your ass. Again!"
"Fine! You and Godric met. Why would he decided to keep you around?"
"Besides my sparkling personality?"
Eric glare at me, giving me a look that said 'Don't be a smart ass and answer the question'
"We balance each other, I guess" I sighed heavily, "Being what I am. It helped me understand him."
"How could that help you?" He asked.
"I've been around a lot of people. Humans aren't much different from vampires. They've all done stuff in their past that they regret. Some more than others."
"What do you know of Godric's past."
"I know everything, there is know about him."
"Really?" Eric questioned, "Do you how many he has killed?"
"Not the exacted number, but I don't need to know that." I said quickly, not liking where this was heading.
"Do you know how violent he was? How much of a bloodthirsty savage he was?"
"Yes!" I screamed, standing up in front of him, tears running down my face, "He's not like that anymore. You've been away from him along time now Eric he's changed."
"Then you must have done something to him!" he growled low at me as stood up too.
"This happen before I got here. You can ask the others, if you do not believe me." I huffed at him. "And besides my gift doesn't work on him." I added.
"It doesn't? Why?"
"I don't know why. Godric thinks its because he's old. It's happened before with..-" I stopped short. I can't believe I just did that. He can't know about that. Why can't I keep my mouth shut.
"With who?" Eric urged me to continue.
Shaking my head at him, "No-one. Forget I said anything."
Eric looked like he was ready to argue but I cut him off, "Just know this; I know that Godric had no regret for human life, that he killed for no reason. But the man I know now; that's who he is, that's who I love."
Eric studied me for a moment, then something change in his demeanour changed and spoke with determination, "Who are you really Madison? What are you hiding from?"
"Hiding from?"
"I got my child to do a background check on you."
My face paled, my whole body went cold, "Why...Why would...I'm not hid..-"
"Yes, you are. Both you and Gordric are. Because I didn't find anything on you." he hissed at me, "It's like you were never born. No history, whatsoever. So I know you're hiding something. The question is what? What did you do to have, Godric, wipe out you entire history?"
I gulped, my heart race, Eric would stop at nothing to know the truth. Like I knew he would. I knew he wouldn't find anything on me, since Godric wiped every information about me but what will happen if he digs deeper? What if HE finds me? I can't tell him, not now. Not with Godric missing.
I asked the only thing I could think of, hoping he will except it, "If I promise to tell you later, will you except that? And promise not to look for anymore information about me. It's not safe."
Eric frown at me, looking thoughtful, then surprised me by nodding his head in agreement.
I sighed and looking at my watch, before turning to Eric.
"Isabel, will back soon to collect me. Do you mind me waiting here till she comes?" I whispered, suddenly tired.
Eric nodded his yes, as he got up and walked over to the bathroom he spoke, "Don't touch anything, I'm going to make a phone call."
I heard water running in the bathroom, before the door shut. I lay down on the couch, my body was exhausted, having not been sleeping right these last weeks. Before I could stop it, darkness swept my vision as sleep over took me.
