"There's a whole world out there waiting for you to explore." He said a dull smirk tugging on his face. He was almost whispering by this point but he had caught my attention. His hand came towards my face two of his fingers brushing against my face as he spoke next.
"Running through the forest in the darkest of night. The northern lights at the highest place where a human can't reach. Experience great friendships and find love" He said softly letting his finger run over my neck. So softly. I'd never felt that kind of touch before and it brought forward emotion. I wanted all of that, all I wanted was to have a free life.
"But Eric's not here" I said my lip wobbling slightly as I tried to hold myself together. Why did I care if he did? He's only my maker. Not that he has been one.
"In fact, you'll find that I am" Eric's voice drifted into my ears. My body slumped slightly my ears relieved to hear his voice. I didn't dare move as Godric stood close to me his fingers till lightly touching my face.
"Now to speed things along, the sun is up in a few short minutes. We need to go to ground" He spoke carefully and firmly still out of sight. My eyes stayed on Godric as his did mine. Godric stepped away from me towards the direction had spoken from. As he released me from his gaze I took a deep breath in. Now I had to focus on staying alive with the sun very close. I wasn't even sure if living was completely what I wanted. Why was I letting Godric make my thoughts stray from what I want?
But Godric…
"Start digging we have no time to get back to the nest" Godric commanded before a short distance from me Eric and Godric began digging in the ground at vampire speed. Swallowing I tried to muster up the courage, but before I could think twice about it I spoke.
"I never said that I wanted to stay" I said. They both stopped digging for a moment before Godric placed hand on Eric's shoulder. Watching the silent exchange, I grew confused when Eric stood up and turned to face me.
"You've experienced more hardship in your short life as a human that any human experiences in their whole life. Now, you're a vampire. You have the control to take control. Why would you throw that away?" He said simply his stare burning through me. Turning my back to him I closed my eyes as my eyes stung. I fought the tears.
He had made me curious and that was dangerous. The curiosity of living a life that I never had the chance to live before now. But frankly, I was terrified.
"I can't" I said quietly my hands tightening into fists.
"You do not yet understand the bonds you have with your maker and I. They are one's that allow you comfort, give you strength and give you the thing you want most" He spoke sounding very close to my ear. How did I not hear him move? Flinching slightly I turned my head to show him I was listening before I spoke.
"The thing I want?" I asked sounding like I was on the edge of tears.
"You want to feel safe" Godric said softly. Slowly I felt his arm moved behind me, moving to touch the top of my arm gently. I couldn't help the whimper that left me as my head fell forwards. The tears fell. How could he know that's what I want?
"You want the feeling of being in the arms of a loved one. The soft touch of a lover" He spoke stepping forwards so I could feel his chest brushing up against my back. I took in a sharp breath at this as I was no use to being close to someone without pain. As his hand on my arm began to move I quickly stepped forwards away from his hard. My mind screaming at the touch that wasn't normal. .
Tiredness suddenly rushed at me like a wave. I knew I was young so I often slept before Eric but I was finding it hard to stay completely on my feet. When I felt my knee's buckle slightly I knew I needed to sleep. When my hand came up to rub my eyes, which I always did when I was ready to sleep I felt a presence in front of me. Eric. I knew from his scent. But I also knew that he had watched me so much at Fangtasia that he was very aware on when I needed to be put to bed. The coffin I cringed inwardly.
"Anna" He murmured sounding very tired himself. Opening my eyes I was met with Eric holding his hand out waiting. This had become a routine before day time rest. He would offer and I would always refuse. This time wouldn't be any different. Turning away from his hand as childish but I didn't want to accept having to sleep. He let out a small sigh before my wrist was grabbed surprisingly gently. He pulled me behind him with little resistance from me.
We arrived at a huge hole big enough for three people. My unease rose about four notches as I thought about the first night I rose as a vampire. Eric released my wrist before nudging me but I stayed in place.
"We don't have the time for this" He suddenly growled out and shoved me forwards. Of course with my new vampire body my body acted and I landed on my feet no problem. Within seconds of landing Eric landed next to me.
"Lay down" Sitting down I then proceeded to lay backwards watching as Godric sped round the whole pushing the dirt close to the sides before jumping in himself. I gripped the ground with both hands as I looked up at them both. They both stared for a moment before they quickly began pulling dirt down from all sides and as it began to hit me. I couldn't help the panic that filled me watching Eric flinch next to me.
"Sleep" Eric barked sternly, the makers command coming into play. Mentally I thanked him as I didn't want to be awake for when the dirt covered me.
