Godric practically forced Celeste into the hall closet, glaring furiously at her. "How could you? I want to die. I deserve to die."
"I'm selfish," she answered him, shrugging. "I've always been selfish. I can't lose you. You are mine and I am yours. I would rather you hate me for the rest of eternity then watch your skin burn and be in a world without you inside of it."
Godric growled and shoved his hand through his hair which he never did in front of anyone except her. "What happened to us?"
"You grew a pussy and I got balls," she teased before she leaned against the wall.
"You were never this cold and calloused. Yes you were fiery, but it was the most beautiful thing about you," he explained to her. "Your passion drew me in and I am who I am today because I met you. You became cruel when you struck power...that's your one fault. Until I saw that you abandoned your family-"
Celeste slapped him across the face, her eyes cold. "Listen carefully, Godric, I may still have a soft spot for you, but don't think that this means that you can go running your mouth about things you don't know. I left because my life had become ordinary and I don't want normality."
Godric had pitiful eyes which disgusted Celeste and she desperately wished that he was back to his old self again...a pan started to form in her head and she smirked at Godric.
"You're wrong. You are ordinary and that frightens you. You hated your children because they weren't. I pity you because I know that you will never find peace and that you will always be the villain. The villains don't get happy endings."
Celeste watched Godric walk away, but then her hand turned completely black before she thrust it inside of his chest once she turned him around to face her. He gasped in pain as she grabbed his heart, she felt it squishing in her hand.
"Well then I thinks it's time we rectify that, don't you?"
She started to mutter something in Latin that Godric couldn't understand. He felt as if he were going into a deep slumber as he felt everything start to slow down for him. He swore that he heard someone laughing maliciously inside of his head.
He heard the voice whisper, Finally.
Godric knew that this might be the end for him as e felt that something dark was coming out of him...something that he put away long ago so he hastily told her, "I love you and I know about Leo. He knows and they will kill you for this. Eric and Belle are far more dangerous than I am and they find a way to bring me back."
"Goodbye, Godric."
Godric felt his eyes close and then open, but he couldn't control himself. He felt as if he was watching a dream pass him by.
When I awoke that night, I felt empty. I felt alone. I quickly got out of bed and tried to look for Godric, but I couldn't find him.
I shook Eric awake-well, that's a lie. Never be at least ten feet from a vampire when they are awoken from their slumber. So I started to throw things at him. After five items, I threw a condom which I had bought and opened because what the hell! It went right on his eye as he woke up. He growled as I sang, "GOOD MORNING SLEEPING BEAUTY!"
He aimed the condom like it was rubber band and it slapped me right in the boob. I gasped in pain and grabbed my boob.
"That hurt, corpse! Don't go throwing things at me!"
"You started it!"
"You weren't waking up!"
"What do you want?"
"It's been a day and Godric is missing. AGAIN!" I told him in frustration. "I can't feel him. I don't feel anything."
Eric like concerned. "If that were true then you would be dead. He's still alive."
"I know that, but every time I try calling him, it gets answered, but all I hear is creepy breathing in the phone," I explained to him.
Eric froze and opened his mouth to say something, but something was thrown inside of our room. I gasped as I saw a bloody Leo coughing blood onto the pure white carpets. I got a cloth and started to wipe away the blood carefully.
Eric sped out of the room and searched for whoever threw him inside of our suite.
I managed to use my powers and move him to the bed as I looked at his face which was all kinds of colors on it. His face was barely recognizable and he had various bite marks all over his arms and neck. They looked to be the same bite over and over again...I almost cried while looking at him.
His body looked like it was put through hell too many times. He was definitely tortured and I wondered who could've done this. I gently pushed his hair back, wishing that I could call Sookie since she's my closest friend, but she had already left the hotel last night with Bill and Jason. I called her and she answered, "Hey, now's not really the time-"
"Someone get kidnapped my brother and tortured him then threw his body into our suite. Oh and Godric and Celeste are missing too," I told her quickly.
"What?!"
"I don't know. I'm really scared, once he gets better can you let him stay at your house until we find the culprit," I explained to her.
"Of course, yeah just give me some time. Remember the maenad is still here and she's taken over my entire house."
"We'll go there right now and I'll take care of the hairy bitch. I got powers now so I can mess any bitch up," I told her gleefully.
Sookie hummed. "Well, come back. The town got a whole lot worse while we were away-oh, Belle, please hurry."
"I promise. See you later."
I didn't wait for her to reply as I hung up and looked at my brother's pale body. He was losing a lot of blood and I wondered when Eric will be back. I knew that I couldn't wait for him. I remembered the book saying that if I focused very hard then I could manipulate energy into any way possible. All I had to do was concentrate. I closed my eyes after I sat on the bed next to his body, I put my hands over his body. I licked my lips as I searched within myself and tried to find the power or well, energy to heal his wounds.
I made a leap of faith as I started to transfer my own energy into his body. After a moment, I heard an intake of breath and a gasp. I felt liquid falling onto my thighs and felt something wet on my arms as well. After I felt a huge headache coming quickly, I knew that I was going to sleep. Even though my eyes were closed, I felt tired and soon I felt the cold sheets hit my skin as I fell onto the bed. I heard booming voices when I fell, but I couldn't say anything.
I shot up out of the bed and I came face to face with Eric and Leo, looking concerned. My eyebrows knitted in confusion as I quickly looked over Leo's body, seeing that it was completely healed.
"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.
He nodded. "Yeah, thanks to you, sis. How could you be so stupid though?! You could've died."
Wow...dick much? Is this the thanks I get for trying to save his life and thinking fast on my feet. "I didn't know what else to do! I had to think. I am not stupid, but very clever or cunning or something that sounds flattering, but I am not stupid! If I was then I would've slept with the corpse by now!"
Eric didn't look amused as he narrowed his eyes at her. "I don't give a shit. You're lucky that I came in time to save you from death. Again."
"Hey, it's not my fault that I am always near death-like experiences. I attract death. I mean look at you, corpse, you're in my life," I reminded him defensively as I crossed my arms over my chest.
Leo pointed his finger at me. "You're lucky that Eric was able to save you since you decided to take my wounds."
I was confused for a moment. "What did you do to heal me?"
Leo stepped away, smiling nervously. "Yes, Eric, what did you do?"
I looked at him for a moment before my eyes widened and I yelled as I put the puzzle pieces together, "DID YOU...DID YOU GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING BLOOD, CORPSE?! COME HERE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
Leo held my waist as I charged towards Eric, flaying my arms and legs out wildly as I tried to grab some part of him. All Eric did was laugh at me as my finger stretched to catch him.
"Hey! Calm down or I will tie you up," Leo warned me.
"I like her this way," Eric murmured seductively then he patted my head.
"Stop it, you're encouraging her," Leo yelled at him as I became even more mad and tried to seriously bite his fucking fingers off.
"I will kill the both of you! I swear it!" I screamed at them, breathing heavily as I calmed down. "Wait, I need...a five minute break...I got too excited."
Leo let me go and I glared at the idiots standing in front of me. "You stupid fat heads gave me his blood and now he's inside of me. Literally! He gets to feel everything and I'll dream of him. My mind becomes shit when my body is weak for horny sex you know! It's a hard life being me."
"You mean life is hard when you're involved," Eric corrected in amusement.
"Whatever! Have you found who did this?"
Leo sighed heavily. "It was Godric."
I gasped and shook my head. That's impossible. Godric wouldn't do something like this, he's too moral or some shit. "You're wrong. Godric wouldn't...why would he? What's the reason?"
"Witchy is right," Eric agreed. Good to know that we're on the same page here. "Godric wouldn't have done this to you unless you provoked him to do so."
Leo scoffed. "I don't know what happened to him. I was walking and then he started to beat the shit out of me. I passed out and woke up in a room, hanging from the ceiling. He was cruel. I've never seen him like this. He had a malicious smile on his face the entire time. He enjoyed everything he gave me and more. I fear the Godric we knew is gone and the thing that created you, Eric, is there. He was horrible-beyond frightening. He makes Celeste look like child's play."
Eric stiffened. "We need to leave immediately. Pack whatever you can in the next five minutes."
I nodded quickly, knowing it best not to ask questions right now, but later. As I packed, I couldn't imagine what kind of person Godric was when he was first turned. I could tell that he was horrifying if Celeste wanted him back to that person once again. I had an aching feeling that she was behind all of this. If only I had stopped him from going with her then I would've been able to save him.
Eric, Leo and I made our way to the airport as quickly as possible, but I had a feeling that we were being watched or being followed...I knew that it was either one of the two or possibly both actually. A chill went down my spine as we boarded the private plane.
"Eric," I suddenly called out to him worriedly. Eric gave me a questionable look as he looked towards me. "What if we can't save him? What if Celeste wins? What's going to happen?"
Eric didn't answer me and I wondered if life would always be this complicated for not just me, but all of us. I imagine that this wasn't the life that we all thought we would end up in. Would we save him? I shuddered in terror at the thought of meeting this unfamiliar side of Godric. I heard most of the terrifying stories about Godric, I knew from my mother that he was a vampire to be feared. Eric had to learn this way of life from somewhere, didn't he? All progenies are created in the image of their makers like children are to parents...sometimes the reflection is beautiful and all times you are horrified by what you see in the mirror.
I had come to the conclusion that Eric wasn't like Godric at all when he said to me, "I don't know what's going to happen, Belle...but you'll be safe. I promise."
As I closed my eyes once again for the second time that night, I felt safe and comforted by Eric Northman which was very odd.
I guess the corpse isn't a stupid fat head after all…
TBC…
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS, FOLLOWS, AND FAVORITES! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE 100 REVIEWS! I AM BEYOND HAPPY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE SO FREAKING AWESOME TO THIS STORY!
That whole scene with Celeste and Godric was planned to go a completely different way, but then I decided to not be boring and throw you guys a curve ball. I wondered what would happen if I brought Godric's bad side back because we've always heard/seen him be the moral character who's all about humanity. I wondered what Godric was like back in the day, I am reading the books of the TV show and it's given me some insight on what he was kind of like.
Eric and Belle are getting a little closer, but don't worry, she still can't resist Godric which she hates. I hoped you liked this chapter.
REVIEW. FOLLOW. FAVORITE. Until next time...
