Chapter 2
I still don't know where I am going. I don't know how far this will go.
Sookie sat up in shock and fear. She looked around and saw she was alone. She remembered that Godric ordered her to bed and she obeyed. She didn't know why. It just felt like she had to follow his command. The idea of disobeying upset her. Sookie shook her head and got up. She decided a shower would settle things, as she reached for the door with her left hand she gasped in pain. She grasped her left hand and looked down to see a scabbed over cut over her palm from one corner to the other. It was just like her dream.
Later Sookie came out to order food. She walked out to the living room and Godric stood up. She didn't know she slept all day. But, he was up and he sniffed the air and growled lightly as his eyes darkened and fangs slid out slowly. His face then changed to expressionless as he vamped out of the pent house. Sookie was left there confused and a little scared.
She order food and was eating when Eric came in. He looked serious and sat across from her in a chair. He asked her after taking a looked at Sookie's timid face, "How was your sleep? Did you dream? I did and I normally don't. Do you know what I dreamed of?"
Sookie knew where this was going somehow, but needed to hear him say it. She shook her head. Eric raised an eyebrow not believing her, but said none the less, "I can share Godric's dreams sometimes since we are closely bonded as maker and child. I was a witness at yours and Godric's marriage. Can I see your left hand?"
"What? No! I! Ok, fine. I'm just freaked out. He ordered me last night and I obeyed. Now this. What's going on? Every time he is around me his eyes get dark. He gets all possessive." Sookie said trying to hide and then knowing Eric only cared handed him her left hand.
Eric took her hand and saw the cut mark. He looked up to Sookie and said, "What happened last night that caused him to order you. Tell me everything. I mean everything."
"I was concerned but him. You know he took 12 bullets for me and saved me from being raped. So I wanted to make sure he was eating. He had the lights off so I turned them on since I can't see. He was scary. His teeth were clenched and his hand digging into his pants. His eyes were black. He told me to not come closer. But I did. I was worried. Before I knew what happened he had me on the bed and was on top of me. I had just told him that he was just hungry so he told me I was all he needed. I got turned on when he bit which is normal. But he growled and held me still. After he order me to go to bed that he was fed but still wanted me. He did mention that I took his blood and bonded with him and how he hadn't done that in 600 years. He told me I was his." Sookie told Eric.
Eric sat there for a moment taking in what Sookie told him. He revealed to Sookie what he thought the issue was, "You are captivating and kind. Godric is fighting programmed instincts. To understand this you need to know the History of Godric of Gaul. He was 16 and a chief's son and honor warrior. Julius Caesar crushed the Gaul in this Battle having studied them. Now tradition for prisoners of Rome was to rape them. Godric was repeatedly assaulted until Julius halted the men. They sought to break Godric, Julius said it was enough for one so young. They took him to Rome to be sold as a slave. A woman wanted to buy him since he looked like her dead son. But she owed money to Godric's maker so she had to buy him for Godric's maker. Godric was abused, collared, and raped many times until he tried to escape. The woman found him and her love for him made her try and hide him. Unfortunately Godric's maker found them and killed her in front of Godric. That was when he realized his master was not human. Godric's maker had him braded for trying to escape and then beat and raped him for a long time. When his maker thought he had broke Godric he turned him. However because of all the abuse Godric did not completely die and rose up before his maker one night and staked him and escaped north. Godric became cold and violent to all strangers for a long until he made me. He then fought to bury the darkness within him and be like a father to me that he did not have. Godric has great love in his undead heart. He hates his impulses to hurt others and became depressed. You awoke his hungry and desire. He wants you but is afraid to hurt you. When you bonded with him you accidentally forced his hand. Now his beast or his dark half married you, which is legal for our kind as you can see the cut mark crusted over. He now has to deal with his darkness and not hurt you either. I know he wont. He has never hurt an innocent woman. But, he thinks that he is a monster. His fear is that he will one day become his maker. Godric can do things I hope to achieve. I hope you can show him that he is not his maker."
"Can I ask you something honestly?" Sookie asked Eric
"When you ask me to tell you the truth my code demands I tell you truthfully. Ask me your question." Eric said compassionate and calm.
"Why do I like it? It's wrong to enjoy him controlling me." Sookie said as she started to cry feeling bad about how she felt.
Eric moved to her and brought her up off the couch setting her forgotten plate aside as he hugged her. She cried into his chest as he rubbed her back. He said to her soothingly, "It's not wrong to feel like that. We all have that part of us to some degree. I am like Godric. I need control. So is Pam. You like being protected. Godric loves to protect. As long as it doesn't make you feel degraded and you feel good then it is ok."
Godric suddenly came in the room having felt Sookie crying. He saw Eric hugging Sookie and growled possessively at Eric. Eric let go of Sookie quickly not wanting to incur Godric's wrath. He knelt down in front of Godric and looked at the floor. Godric growled at him as he bent forward to get in his face. Eric would not meet his eyes and looked away. Godric stared at him for a long time. Then titled his head decided weather or not to punish him. Godric grabbed Eric by the chin and forced Eric to look at him and said, "She is mine. My wife."
Sookie got scared and came up to Godric. Who stiffen as she got closer. Sookie put her hand on Godric's arm and pleaded, "I was confused about my feelings and started to cry. He comforted me. He might be an arrogant jerk sometimes, but he is still a friend. Please don't punish him. He wasn't trying to take me from you. I am yours Godric. Please."
Godric turned his head to look at her. He saw the signs of dried tears. He purred gently and said, "My wife, mine." Godric let go of Eric and brought Sookie into a full embrace as he wrapped his arms around her. Slowly his eyes return to hazel. Having Sookie tell him that she was his, brought him out of his dark possessiveness. Sookie felt comfort from Godric holding her.
Thanks to Eric explaining his past Sookie understood a piece of Godric. She said in a soft hushed tone, "Eric really loves you. He came to see what happened after our dream. I was freaked out. He told me about your life."
Godric pulled Sookie to him roughly and said to Eric in a commanding tone, "No one gave you permission to discuss my life as though you lived it."
"You are my maker. I know your life you dream it." Eric said defending himself.
"Never do you have permission to discuss my life understand?" Godric said as he stared at Eric.
Sookie remembered the nature shows she seen and gave it a shot. She bared neck to him and looked away and said, "Please spare him. I take the blame."
Godric growled and sniffed her neck and kissed her neck gently. He closed his eyes and held her. Godric slowly opened eyes and they were hazel again. Godric said, "Mine."
"Yours." Sookie said to ease him.
Godric then looked at Eric and said, "I am sorry my child. She invokes dominant feelings in me."
"It is good you feel again." Eric said as he stood up.
Godric looked down at Sookie and said, "You submitted to me."
"Only cause you threaten your child. Not that I wanted to." Sookie said with a blush as she turned her head. Eric gave a smirk and looked at Sookie and she glared at him in a dare. Eric gave a satisfied smirk and looked at Godric. Godric knew that smirk and waited for him to start playing with the shy Sookie.
"It is my understanding Sookie felt something stir inside her when you are like that with her. I think we have a submissive here. Who would think? Outwardly fiery and privately a submissive." Eric said with a perverted smirk on his face.
"Eric!" Sookie scolded Eric as he preened under her glare as she turn beet red all the way past her neck line of her white dress.
Eric lightly laughed wickedly and smiled enjoying her blushing and said, "I am doing you a favor mother. Since you won't say it, I will."
"Oh my god just stop talking." Sookie said as the blush got redder and she hid her face against Godric's chest. Godric gave an impish smile and said, "Why thank you my child it will be good to know the toys will not go to waste." Godric teased as Sookie choked and looked up at him.
"What toys?" Sookie asked.
"Our toys my wife." Godric said as he nuzzled the side of her head still smirking.
"Come on Sookie vanilla is so boring. Or are you still a virgin?" Eric teased as Sookie turned and glared at him.
Sookie looked at Godric then Eric and saw the same smile and said, "God, that's where he gets it from. You're perverted too. I married a pervert"
Godric whispered in Sookie's ear making her shiver, "I was a Bad boy longer than a good one. It will not be easy for you to tame me, Sookie. But I can promise you that you will enjoy being mine."
