Chapter 9

Godric didn't know what else to say he could only stand there and stare at Angel who has grown since the last he seen her. She has gotten taller than him, her body developed with curves especially her hips that were not too big or small but right to hold on to. Her chest also develop well not sure what cup he can't tell while her face lost that roundness and now has a more sharpness to it. Especially, her eyes have lost the shyness and fear replace with confidence and a menacing glint.

It worry him a little bit but he didn't dwell on it because he was happy to have her back. Eric did not miss a beat on approaching Angel a purpose on each step he took. Angel frowned at him who swiftly using vampire speed put on or better said returned the pink leather, encrusted diamond collar to Angel's neck.

"You in a hurry to put that back on," Angel said.

Eric smirked patting her cheek, "I don't want our little pet from leaving without us knowing so I made sure to modify this just in case," he said, a finger tapping the collar.

"Impatience man," Angel mumbles making Eric's eye twitch.

"Ho, you gotten snappy," Eric said, "you need to be punish." Angel stick out her tongue at him, "Not a dog,"

Almost as if there was an invisible meter next to Eric of how annoyed he was it would be sky high. Only stopping on his next words when Godric said, "Enough, and everyone leave" the vampires didn't need to be told twice. Leaving Angel, Eric, Sookie, Bill, Jason, Isabella and Godric in the room.

"Isabella, can you have someone from the authority come tomorrow?" Godric asked.

"Yes, sheriff," she said and left.

Eric turned to Bill and said, "Return to the hotel and everything will be ready tomorrow to take a flight back to Bon Temps."

Sookie frowns glancing between Eric and Angel, "But…" Bill grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go, Sookee" she didn't put much of a protest as they left follow by Jason who took his time eyeing Angel who hissed in response making him move faster.

The moment they were in the car; Godric vamped toward Angel and gave her big hug that she returned with a strong one.

"I am so happy you are back!"

Eric nodded his approval and asked, "Do her returning changes your mind about dying?"

Angel pulled back from the hug, "You want to kill yourself? Why?" Angel asked. Godric looked away from her feeling ashamed. "Because I am tired and vampires are not going to change their ways so…" Angel shook her head, "Everyone gets tired! You don't know how much I wanted to give up because I kept on losing control that ended in a few deaths. However, I couldn't give up because there were people waiting for me. I am still working on my control of my wild side which is still a process. Instead, what you need is to find a reason to live for which shouldn't be for the other vampires but for the ones who need you."

"She is right, Godric" Eric said, almost begging.

"I will try but can I do it at your side?" Godric asked. Eric quickly nodded and pointed at Angel, "I am sure we are going to need more help with her and even search for information about her kind that we didn't do years ago."

Godric smiled, "Yeah,"

*Next night*

Godric woke up early since he didn't need that much sleep due to his age. He glance around the dark bedroom Eric was still sleeping next him but he couldn't see Angel. Where is she? He wondered and got up.

"I am not going anywhere," Angel said exiting the bathroom only wearing a towel.

Godric froze on the spot as he watched her grab the clothes she was wearing earlier. That mostly appeared to be pieces of fabric that she simply tied around her waist and chest. Which gave her the appearance of a wild person but that only added to her unique charm.

"Did I really change that much from your constant staring?" Angel asked.

Godric dropped his gaze but smiled as he said, "You have grown and I am sure Pamela will be happy to see you," at the mention of Pam Angel's eyes lit and smiled.

"Good to see you two getting along but I still have not forgotten about your rudeness," Eric said, sitting up with his arms behind him as a head rest.

Angel shrugged.

"What about the meeting?" Angel asked.

"Oh right," Godric said just as someone knocked on the door. Godric went to open it revealing Isabella, "They are waiting for you in your office," she said and Godric nodded before following her.

"When are we going back? I want to see Pam," Angel said.

"When Godric finishes," Eric said, and makes a come here motion.

"I am not a dog, how hard is that for you to remember," Angel said.

Eric's eye twitches but still kept a smile on his face as he said, "Amuse me," Angel sighed and got on the bed but not too close to Eric.

"You are still wary of me and that part of you have not changed," Eric said.

"Can you blame? All the men I seen are around my height not tall like you," Angel said.

Eric raised an eyebrow, "You telling me you didn't see another man in the years you were away?" Angel shook her head, "I mostly stayed away from civilization,"

"Like?" Eric urged.

"Mountains, and dry areas since I'm not good with cold," Angel said and Eric hums, "Interesting, how you manage not get put in a zoo,"

"Why don't you try it? I am sure you will look good in a cage," Angel said. Eric glared at her.

"Please don't start a fight here," Godric said, entering the room.

"You finish?" Angel asked eyes wide and bouncing slightly on the bed.

Godric smiles at her antics, "Yes, I given Isabella my position of sheriff so I have nothing holding me here,"

Angel grinned, "Now we can go see Pam,"
