Chapter 5: Do Vampires Dream


Alea's POV


We had arrived at the hotel shortly after our conversation. The trip there had been a blur, we had taken Eric's 'baby' rather than flying. Which I was okay with. My stomach still hadn't calmed down, and I feared that flying might cause me to lose whatever I had in it.

Eric's 'baby' was a car, a vibrant red, slick as all hell looking car. As someone who had never seen one, I thought it was impressive, Godric just sighed and rolled his eyes.

No one said a word as we roared down the roads, Eric drove like a mad man, zipping around corners faster than I thought possible. We had made it to the hotel in record time, and before I knew it, we were walking up the stairs to our quarters for the night, or I suppose the day.

We stopped in front of a large door, Godric opened it with ease. It opened to yet another extravagant room. I rubbed my arms softly, trying to get the feeling of anxiety to go away. I glanced around the room worriedly. Having this much space was still so odd, having so much room to move. Freedom left me feeling stressed.

"Is the room not up to your standards little one?" Godric said in his soft voice, the sing-song tone making me close my eyes. "We could see if they have anything better?"

I shook my head softly, smiling at the two vampires, who were looking at me like I was made of porcelain. "No this is perfect, just odd." Godric nodded, a relieved look on his face. I didn't want to worry him further. I didn't want either of them to worry. I could tell that the identity of my father had them on edge, and I wasn't sure how I could help to settle their sour moods. I didn't want to pry any further, I didn't want to think about him. I never wanted to again.

"Do you need anything else before we go dead for the day?" I looked at Eric with curiosity. My head tilting to the side. Dead?

"Vampires don't technically sleep, we just look dead during the day, and we can't move."

I only managed to nod. I didn't want to ask any further, I was overwhelmed with all the information, and on top of that my throat hurt. I had never spoken so much in my life, and my vocal cords were paying for that. I glanced at the bed with adoration, right as my stomach growled. I glanced at the two vampires with a question.

"Could we get some food first?" The two looked like a lightbulb just popped up over their heads. Eric's mouth fell open and Godric looked at me concerned as he shook his head. He looked me up and down, and I tried to scrunch away from his scrutinizing gaze.

"When was the last time you ate little one?" He said, his body was stiff, and he looked distraught. I swallowed hard.

"Well, I'm not sure exactly, a few days before they threw me in your cell," I rubbed my arms nervously. My voice was quiet, and I couldn't find it in me to try and speak any louder.

"It's not that big a deal, I have gone longer without food if you want to wait that's fine," I tried my best to settle his worries. Eric was already at the bed, his thick voice echoing throughout the room.

"Hello, yes we would like room service delivered." A small pause, "Well what do you have?" Another pause. Eric looked agitated. His eyes were dark against the light of the room. He looked murderous and I felt myself gulp, just what was being said?

"Just bring all of it, one of everything." A growl escaped his lips. "Yes, I can pay for it, now bring the fucking food, Room 315." Eric slammed the object he was speaking to down, a small smile forming on his lips as it shattered under the force. Pieces of plastic littered the floor and the counter. I felt myself jump at the sound, Godric's hand was quickly on my arm, stabilizing me. Perhaps trying to comfort me. The chill of his hand leaked through my shirt and caused me to shiver.

"Sorry to be a bother," was all I managed to get out, I wasn't sure what to say, to settle the agitated aura in the room. I would have been fine with some bread and water, from the sound of it I was getting much more than that.

"You need to eat little one, we often forget that humans work on a different schedule than our own." Godric smiled, seemingly unfazed by Eric's show. Eric smiled at me as well, his arms crossed over his chest, he didn't seem bothered by my request either.

"We won't forget again," Godric said, just barely above a whisper, his voice was right by my ear, and I heard him inhale hard, before backing away. I smiled softly, keeping my eyes on the floor. I don't know what it was about him being so close, but it made me feel safe. I expected that trying to fit in would be harder than this.

"Don't you guys need to eat?" I looked up as I said it, their eyes landing on mine. Godric smiled stiffly, Eric only laughed.

"You offering?" Eric said in a joking manner, I tilted my head. His eyes shone with mischief, and I couldn't help but laugh as he wiggled his eyebrows. I may not understand the joke, but I couldn't help but laugh at Eric's mannerisms.

"Eric," Godric's venomous voice shut Eric up faster than I had ever seen. Though his smug smirk didn't leave his face. It just made me laugh harder, Godric's chuckle pulled me back to the conversation.

"They will be bringing us something we can consume as well little one," I nodded and before I could speak the doorbell rang. Eric was at the door faster than I could blink. As he opened the door, a train of food spilled in. It was more than I had ever seen in one sitting. Hell, I'm pretty sure it was more than I had seen in my life. When it finally stopped, and Eric had closed the door I felt myself walking towards it. I glanced at Eric and Godric questioningly, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do.

"Do they not have what you like?" Eric said, his voice held a disgruntled tinge to it. When I didn't respond he frowned, his arms uncrossing as he bolted across the room once again.

"I'll call them back, just tell me what you want, anything you want." He was already back at the desk when he realized he had broken his way of communication. He glared at the hump of plastic if looks could kill the already obliterated object would have burst into flames.

"Okay, new plan," he was in front of me in the next second, he brought his hand up to my face, brushing a stray piece of hair away from my eyes.

"Tell me what you want, and I'll go tell them."

I was a loss for words, as I shook my head, a blush coming to my cheeks. Eric looked so determined, it brought a smile to my face, and I laughed softly. Eric's face quickly turned to shock.

"No this is perfect Eric, I'm pretty sure this is more food than I have ever seen in my life," I glanced back at the food, my mouth watering. My stomach growled again.

"It just caught me by surprise," I paused, "are you sure it's okay for me to eat this?" Eric looked relieved as he ran his hand through his dirty blond hair, a chuckle coming to his lips.

"You can have whatever you want, you need only ask," he motioned towards the food before he sped off and grabbed two bottles that were on one of the many rolling tables. He sped back over to Godric, handing him one of them. I walked towards them myself, grabbing one of the empty plates that were presented at the front of the train of food.

I piled as much as I could onto that one plate, doing my best to grab an assortment. I sat down at the small table that was near the bed, Godric and Eric were already there, standing by the table, sipping at their drinks. I tried to motion for them to sit but they shook their heads.

"We have to go talk to the others little one, enjoy your meal. We will return shortly," Godric patted my head softly, running his hand across my hair.

I went to interject, before looking at the food. I wanted to go, but I had been had. Bribed by the food, I glanced at the two vampires. Worried.

"Don't worry, you'll be safe here, and we will be right downstairs." Eric's smirk was confident, as normal. I just nodded, slowly, before turning back to the food. Before I could look back, they were gone, it made a tremble go down my spine. It felt so strange that they could just disappear like that.

My worry quickly disappeared, as I turned back towards the food, my mouth watering. Without further hesitation I dug in, taking small bites, savoring every single one of them. My taste buds were on fire and overwhelmed, but I couldn't help myself. I ate until I could physically not eat anymore. I sat back with a satisfied huff, staring at the ceiling with a mix of disbelief and joy. It was so strange, that this was my life now, that I had managed to make it this far.

Escaping was something that had haunted me, father had promised that he had treated me so well. With that came the promise, that if I were ever to leave, he wouldn't be so kind. It sent shivers down my spine, the thoughts of what else he could do to me. It kept me from leaving, it kept me strapped in my hell. I shook my head, trying not to think about it as I stood, walking towards the bed.

My left hand reached out and touched the soft quilts, it was like clouds underneath my fingers. I looked around. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Wait for Godric and Eric? My head ached, and my body called for sleep. My eyes were locked on the soft embrace waiting for me. I started stripping off my clothes without even thinking, crawling under the covers with nothing but my underwear as a barrier. The comfort was intoxicating, and I felt my eyes droop before I even reached to turn the lights off. The soft scent of clean surrounded me and sleep took hold of me, almost as soon as my head touched the pillows. The lights still shining brightly at my side.


With a startled gasp I shot up from my sleeping position. My heart was thundering in my chest as I glanced worriedly around the near pitch-black room. My vision not yet adjusted to the dark. My panic shot through the roof, and I sank as far into the bed as I could.

"Are you okay little one?" Godric's calming voice echoed throughout the room, and I felt my heart almost immediately quiet. I couldn't see him, but the sound of his voice caused me to close my eyes. A wave of calm coming over me.

When I opened my eyes Godric was in front of me. Sitting on the side of the bed, I couldn't see his expression, but I could tell that it was Godric. I let out a sigh, as I went to sit up. I released the embrace of the warm covers as I rubbed my eyes. Trying to get a better look at Godric.

His deep chuckle caused me to jump, I abruptly stopped my actions. He sounded, different. I let my gaze settle on him once again, narrowing my eyes. He had a look that I recognized. The one that he had in the church. I scrunched up my nose.

"Are you okay Godric?" I mumbled out. I expected the burning from the overexertion of my vocal cords but was met with nothing. No pain, not even a tinge, I frowned.

He reached his hand out in response, he brushed the hair away from my face, tucking it behind my ear. His fingers left a trail of sparks across my skin, causing me to shiver.

"Yes, little one, just making sure you were well, I heard you wake up." His hand was now on the side of my face, cupping my cheek softly. Where he touched burned, and I felt myself gasp at the feeling, the normal chill of his skin was replaced with a searing heat. The heat quickly spread throughout my body, and I closed my eyes to try and force the feeling away.

When I opened them again Godric's face was right in front of me, so close that I could feel his breath on my skin, and I finally got a good look at him. His face held a soft smile and his eyes were dark. He looked, seductive. I swallowed hard as a blush came to my cheeks. I struggled with words to say as my eyes focused on his lips. I bit my bottom lip in response unsure of what to do.

"Are you okay, little one?" He leaned into my ear, whispering the words hotly against my skin, an involuntary groan came to my lips. He emphasized the words. They were heavy and sent heat straight to my already burning core.

What the fuck was happening?

Godric was practically on top of me now, as if waiting for me to move. I didn't know what to do, this felt wrong, but right at the same time. He pulled back, his eyes boring into mine, the normally reserved look in them replaced with hunger, but he didn't make any more movements, as if waiting for my response to his administrations.

"Alea," the sound of my name on his lips sent me over the edge and a shiver down my spine. I leaned towards him, my lips nearly touching his. I shook under his diligent fingers as I waited for his response.

A soft growl came to his lips, I guess that was all he needed. He leaned the rest of the way, claiming my lips with his. The sensation of his lips on mine sent a shock wave down my spine, causing me to gasp. He took the opportunity to go a little deeper with the kiss, lightly running his tongue across mine. I pushed back, unsure of my movements as he led me through this dance.

His hand wandered up to my hair, he weaved his fingers through it and pulled softly. I groaned at the contact.

We kissed until I couldn't breathe anymore, he pulled away when he noticed. His lips quickly went to my neck, kissing their way down the curve, he took his time, and I felt every movement. The feeling left me shivering.

"Godric," his name on my lips seemed to influence him, as he growled out softly, nipping at my neck. The pleasure extended to every limb of my body, and my breath was coming out in gasps.

He brought his mouth back up to my lips once again kissing me into the bed, literally. He rolled us so he was on top of me, rather than sitting on the side of the bed. He hiked my leg up over his hip bone and ground into my searing core. I let out a strangled gasp, breaking the kiss.

"Alea," he whispered my name again, claiming my lips softly as he continued to grind into me, with a slow, searing rhythm. It was driving me mad. I didn't know what to do with all the pressure. I was in complete sensory overload and I couldn't do anything to stop it.

What the FUCK was happening.

His hands wandered down to my sides, grabbing my hips with renewed vigor as he pulled them hard against his lower half, once again causing me to gasp into the kiss.

The soft click of a door had me gasping, pulling away from the kiss. My eyes landed on Eric, and the blush returned to my face tenfold. His eyes held the same emotion as Godric's, and I gulped. Shaking. He didn't release his gaze from mine as he walked towards us.

His tell-tale smirk made my jaw drop, as he reached for the top button of his shirt, unbuttoning it slowly as if dragging it out.

"Now, who said we could have fun without me?"


I shot up in one quick motion. Glancing around me quickly. My body burned, and I felt horribly pent up. My breathing was harsh as I tried to focus my thoughts.

That was a strange dream. An extraordinarily strange dream. I shook my head, as I damn near threw the blankets off, the heat was suffocating. My feet touched the chilled hardwood floor and I sighed as I stood. I did my best to shake the shock out of my thoughts, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it.

The way his lips felt on mine, the heat. I let out an audible groan as I lay my head in my hands, my face warm. This wasn't good, I don't know if I could even look at them. I looked around the room and didn't see any indication that they had been back.

I shook it off, maybe I wasn't asleep for as long as I thought. I turned my attention towards the bathroom, and I found myself walking aimlessly towards it.

'Perhaps a shower will help calm me down.'

The shower wasn't quite as extravagant as the one that Godric had, but it was still a thousand times nicer than the one I was used to.

After I was cleaned and dried, I put my clothes from yesterday back on. Seeing as I didn't have any others to slip on. I glanced at the large door that led to the lobby and gulped. I felt a bit better than when I had woken up, but my dream had left me shaken, and I wasn't sure how to go about fixing it. I let out a frustrated growl, my cheeks burning as my mind flashed back to my dream.

I knew I couldn't go back to sleep, and I did kind of want to look around. I settled my resolve the best I could as I began walking towards the door. I stopped just shy of it, my hand trembling as I reached for the handle. I swallowed hard and left the room.
