Panic was a strong emotion at this current moment in time.

It filled my whole body to the brim with adrenaline, my instincts screaming at me that I needed to get away from the sun. I couldn't let it touch me. I was very aware of what the sun did I thought gritting my teeth and it was very painful. The panic began filling me more and more and I didn't think before I acted. Grabbing onto the link of how Eric spoke to me in my mind I shouted.

The sun is coming! You need to hide!

Why did I do that? Why did I care about his maker? At that a small twinge of pain came from my chest causing me to rub it.

Eric!

I cried out when I felt hot. It was like running a temperature as a human. It was uncomfortable, it was a warning of the sun.

Follow the bond come to me

Eric said almost in an alluring voice temping me to come to him. So I began running to the left, heading diagonal away from the sun into thicker trees. Towards an almost tugging sensation in my chest before I slowed and gradually coming to a stop. What was I doing? Eric wasn't within reach. He wasn't here to stop me. Why was I scared of the sun now? I had tried to meet it when I first came into this life. What was different?

The sun was going to be up very soon. I could predict at least 10 minutes. I could leave and I wouldn't feel this fear any more, this hurt, this loneliness. Turning back towards the faint streams of lights that had not yet reached my part of woods. It would all be gone. I would be free. I was distracted by a pain in my head causing me to look away from the sun as it sounded like static in my head. Hissing slightly before it suddenly cut off.

Was that Eric trying to talk to me? Pushing it out of my mind I smiled leaning against the closest tree. The pain would be unbelievable from what I remember from the last time this happened, but after that, there would be a relief I was sure of it. Slowly, I felt the panic leave me as my smile grew as the sun grew brighter. The fear disappeared. But just as it did his scent washed over me, it was a pleasant smell. Godric was here, he had found me. But surprisingly the fear didn't return. He was at least four feet away from me slowing to a walk before stopping.

"My child has stopped you every time you have tried to meet the sun. Why do you try again?" He asked calmly. After a few moments I opened my eyes looking towards him and the tug in my chest paused causing me to be curious. But my mind was telling me to be cautious at the unknown vampire.

"He isn't here" I say simply my eyes lazily looking over him. He was a sight that I didn't mind being my last. But I knew he wouldn't be here when the sun arrived. Eric wasn't here to stop me but Godric was, it was clear he didn't care anymore.

"But I am" He said. My eyes returned to his face and slight fear built up. Not because of him, but because it sounded like he would stop me. Turning to face him I watched as he moved forward until he was a few feet away. However, he stopped in a safe distance his eyes scanning my face.

"You're going to stop me?" I asked quietly. He didn't answer straight away his lips frowning slightly.

"You shouldn't want this. Not a young one like you" He said more to himself than me I sensed. I stayed silent as he watched me.

"You should get inside" I said quietly worried for him surprising myself. I barely knew the guy and he was someone I couldn't read and the fact he could control Eric scared me. He had so much power that I just didn't want to be around. But at my words Godric's gaze lightened. His frown disappeared and his lips now appearing in a straight line. Why did that make the ache in my chest lighten? He was doing something, was this his way of forcing me to not meet the sun?

"Why is that?" He asked opposite me looking around looking very comfortable. Even though the sun could appear in the minutes to come.

"You will burn, it's not safe for you to be here" I said looking the slow rising sun. He wanted to live so why put his life in danger like this? He couldn't be out here, Eric would be devastated surely? That's what Eric had said. A maker and progeny bond was very strong something that could never be complained, but personally I didn't know what the bond was. I didn't feel any different.

"That is not answering my question..." Godric said instantly catching my avoidance to the question. Clenching my eyes shut I raked my brain to for an answer that would make sense and didn't sound stupid

"It…would make me…I'd rather you didn't get hurt" I stumbled over my words. I didn't know why that even was. I didn't know anything about him but his name and that Eric was his child. How can I be attached to him already?

"Your life has changed. That human can't hurt you. So why let him win?" Godric began ignoring what I said. I was thankful for that as I was embarrassed I said anything in the first place.

"Let him win..." I mumbled taking in what he said. Did my willingness for death mean that I was letting him win? No I didn't believe that.

"He won't win-" I shook my head as I was certain that doing this didn't do that. It in fact took away his ability to hurt me, anyone for the matter.

"I won't be hurt anymore not by anyone, not by Eric or you-"I carried on looking at the floor as I wanted to get these words out. Looking at him would cause fear to rise and my throat to close up.

"No harm will come to you…especially from me" He spoke moving forward as I looked up. He had a soft look on his face which I looked oddly at. Was he trying to trick me? Because that wasn't possible, I've seen how aggressive Eric can be. Eric had to get it from somewhere.

"You can't promise that. Eric…" I protested beginning to tell him my thought process.

"My child has a temper but he would never harm his progeny" He interrupted firmly dismissing my words. My voice got stuck in my throat the second he began talking. A wave of fear flooded my body warning me of my disrespectful actions. But what I didn't understand was how did he even know that Eric wouldn't hurt me? I didn't even know what Eric was going to do back at the house.

Looking up when he didn't speak again I noticed that he had moved far too close for comfort. Danger my mind screamed at me but for some reason I was ignoring these feelings I had felt for years. Maybe it was because death was close.

"I don't want to be here" I gave up as he dismissed anything I said. Silence met my answer.

"You haven't lived long enough to want that" He said stepping very close that he was in arm distance. He dismissed me again. My eyes met his at how close he was.

"Do you really believe that your existence has no meaning?" He asked softly his scent washed over me when he breathed out. His eyes looked sad as he watched me. I was soon lost as he spoke.

"I have seen, lived many lives in my thousands of years on this earth. You have yet to live these lives" He said as he brought his hand up hovering over my hair. I flinched my eyes shutting on reaction. A slight whimper coming from me but I couldn't move backwards or away because I knew it would be pointless. This guy was thousands of years old and could hurt me. I wanted death yes. But no more abuse and pain.

"A little piece of advice" He spoke. Curiously, I opened my eyes instantly locking with his to find them sparkling. They were shining which was nothing like the darkness I'd seen when I first met him in his office. It was like when you saw a little kid telling his mother a secret. Excitement. A thing I hadn't experienced since childlike wonder was all that consumed me.
