Chapter Twelve
Third Person POV
Godric caught Sookie before she could fall to the floor. He carried her to Eric's bed and laid her next to him. Rowan rushed to Sookie's side, an idea of what had happened floating through his mind. After a few moments of looking over Sookie and checking her vitals, Rowan turned around to face Pam, Godric and Deirdre. "It seems that she was being manipulated by a higher force. It seems as if this higher force knew Eric personally from an earlier time perhaps while he was still human." Godric muttered something under his breath causing Pam to turn to him, her face unbelieving. They spoke for a few moments before both turning back to Rowan. "Eric told me of a period of time when he was a human that he believed he was involved with the Norse goddess, Freya. By what he told me of it, they were in love with each other. They lost contact because of a war Eric went to fight. That's when he was struck down and dying and how I found him." Godric answered looking at Eric as he spoke. "Perhaps it was Freya. She could have seen Eric suffering and thought only to comfort him in some way. If so, Eric is very lucky to have her watching over him." Pam looked down at her maker, trying to understand what was happening to him. "So Sookie was being possessed by a Norse goddess who loved and was loved by my maker?" She asked, trying to figure the recent events out in her mind. Godric nodded as Deirdre spoke. "It is a possibility. Freya may have seen Sookie and perhaps what she felt for Eric could have caught Freya's attention also." Pam nodded as she understood. "So what you're basically saying is that it's Sookie's own fault she was possessed?" Deirdre looked at Pam before replying. "Perhaps, but think of how it possibly went. Sookie saw a side of Eric, perhaps, that not many people get to see. She began to have feelings that she could not control, maybe did not want to control the feelings. It is Fate, but there are interferences that should not be. Freya has been looking after Eric and saw Sookie and understand what was going on. Freya possibly felt a connection to Sookie. That was how She was able to possess Sookie."
At that moment, Tristan and Sam rushed into the room. "Sister, there is a matter that is most urgent. We must gather the Council together and speak to Her." Deirdre looked at Tristan as her face became serious. She glanced at Eric and Sookie before nodding. "Rowan, stay here and let no one enter. Take them to the Haven, but only if there is no other choice." Godric stepped towards Deirdre and looked as if he were about to speak. "Not this time, my friend. You will be needed here more than with us. You must protect your child and the others. Fate may see fit to let us meet again. If not, live long and prosper and may Fate ever be in your favor." Tristan said before he and Deirdre walked out of the room. Godric stared after his friends for a moment before turning back to the others. "Pam, let me know if anyone comes near this room. We need to make sure we are prepared, in case it has begun." Rowan said, motioning Godric over to him. Pam did as she was told, pulling a comfortable looking chair closer to the door before gracefully sitting down."My friend, if it comes to the point where we must go the Haven, I feel that there is a possibility that it may change the way you gain sustenance. It may not happen, since there has not been one of your kind allowed in the Haven. There is a possibility though, it will as a safety precaution to those who reside there. Since you are the elder among your family, you will have some advantage over the younglings if it occurs." Godric looked down at Eric and then spoke. "He does not regret the choice I gave him, but since he has met Sookie...I feel as though he has a wish to be mortal again." Godric looked up at Rowan, emotions playing over the face that usually does not betray anything. "He would not give up anything he has gained from immortality. Pam is his child, Eric sees her as his own daughter and he would not give her up even to spend a moment more with Sookie. He only wishes to be more like Sookie so that they are equals, my friend. He does not want any advantages over her, such as living forever. He does not realize however, that is what Sookie loves about him. If he were like her, she would be able to hear his thoughts and not the peaceful silence that she does. She does not love him because of his immortality or his riches, she loves him because of his character and personality."
Pam POV
I sat in my chair, my thoughts on Sookie and my maker together drastically changing. I knew that what the Druid was saying was true, I only hoped that we all lived long enough to see it through. I knew that Sookie was a good match for Eric, she had already proven herself by helping us even though she did not have to. Well, Eric may have been a bit manipulative about it at the time. I just hope I survive this entire ordeal to see what Sookie does to my maker when she finds out about it.
A/N: I know...it's been a while, but I have posted the new chapter. It might be a bit before I get another chapter up. I am having some medical problems and I am trying to figure out what is going on. Ahhh...life, what can you do? That's just how it goes, but I will say that FF has helped me keep my sanity. So all I can say for now is that I will try to update as quick as I can. Peace, Love, and Happiness! -edwardlover77
