Again thank thank you for all the reviews. I guess this is becoming a weekly Thursday thing. Its mostly the night I have off from work to able to do this. Sadly I watch a gulity pleasure show and type while semi scaring myself. Halloween is my favorite and to many ghost and horror shows are running! Added bonus, at least two very good friends have spent the last week inhaling all three season and we all agree we have a slight Godric issue. As one referred to him; follow the Buddha vampire and he'll make everything better.
But to all the new follows and readers, thank you for giving me a chance! I'm glad you guys are having fun with me. Lets see where this is going to go because I really have no idea, opps.
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah blah, I'm borrowing the books off a friend. This does not count. Neither does running a soundtrack mix in the background mix.
Lighting exploded behind her eyes. His lips were wrecking some serious Hoodoo magic on her senses. This was better than any of the dreams that have been keeping her awake. Better than anything she has ever felt. Laying in the yard soaking in the sun has never felt this warming, her stomach burned with a pleasant thrum as he deepened the kiss. Her head angling back farther, her body lifting up and his arm slipping under her to brace her against him. She twined her arms around his chest and her heart felt like it was going to beat its last. Godric tore away his mouth causing her to suck in air. His steel colored eyes wandered across her face, his handed cupped her chin letting her his thumb stroke the lips he recently abandoned his assault on.
Sookie could have stayed like this forever, she did truly feel as if she was home; no monetary worries followed along with no commanding ex boyfriends. She rested her head under his chin and let out a contented now life was simple.
He felt her shift under him and press herself into his body. his leanness melded into her supple curves as he pressed his lips to her crown. Idly he contemplated placing a torque across her brow, his minds eyes dressing her in vision of the past. He could only imagine her wandering the halls during the Sun Kings court. Inwardly he laughed, she belonged in this present time or when he was human. She was far to strong for the times when women were little dolls placed upon shelves. She would have been a chieftain's wife or even a priestess. No one would have questioned her or considered her crazy, she would have been in commune with gods and other creatures. Powerful and never doubted in her choices. Godric wondered how she even survived the disdain this simple community shot her way. Further proof to him she was more than what any person or vampire saw in her.
He felt her shift again, her delicate fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. He started to move down her to her ear, small pants of breath teasing the little shell. She shuddered against him, his hand started to stroke down her spine. He traced an imaginary twin to the tattoo following down his spine. Sookie's body responded by growing more heated and straining against his. The beast inside was more than pleased; it stretched and purred all the while digging its claws into wanting her next to him deeper.
"Its good to know if I ever need to make a snuff film, I can just film you two." A slightly bored voice drawled behind them. Pam stood in the doorway with her arms across her chest, haughty look on her face and an amused grin slightly twisting the bow of her mouth. "Orange is not a wise color choice for you Godric. Blond is better, maybe you can convince her to wear lavender." The tall woman stared at the back of Sookie's head and watched the burning red flush move of her neck where Godric had her hair pushed back. She looked into her maker's father's eyes and saw the eyebrow raise. Swiftly she delivered her message,"Eric wanted me to let you know there is a creepy witch doctor waiting at the bar for you. Maybe you should tell him to bathe. He's making the plebeians move away and Chow is upset they aren't giving him enough money." Again the eyebrow raised and let Pam know she was dismissed. "Please let my guest know I will be with him shortly Pamela, thank you for your time." He called to her receding form.
Godric looked up to the ceiling. Next time he had her in his arms there would be no curious proteges hell bent of causing mischief. He turned back down to the sylph in his arms. He slowly took the hand that was at the base of his neck. Softly he kissed the palm,"Sookie I promise to call on you tomorrow night if that is except able to you." He watched her nod her head, she smiled at him and answered. " I work the late lunch and early dinner shift. I should be done around nine if you don't mind visiting a little bit later. I'd like to not smell like stale beer." Her light drawl asked him, he could hear the nervousness within. To be fair the last relationship she was in was built upon lies and instant devotion. If he could she'd never taste his blood unless she was ready or there was a dire need for it. Her trust was to be treasured and earned, this was a prize he strives to earn. His eyes softened and he nodded in agreement. "I shall let you know when I am almost there if that is fine with you," he inquired. Sookie smiled at him and Godric felt he was staring at the sky across lake, her eyes sparkled with so much joy. At least he was showing her how a proper gentleman should treat her.
He escorted her to the front door of the club. He wanted to show her off to all the bangers and pompous night dwellers. This was an equal that should be worshiped, someone others should strive to be. He glanced over to the bar and caught a glimpse of his guest. Sookie followed his gaze. She chuckled at the sight. Chow stood in the corner cleaning a glass and pouting. The bangers stood at least five feet back with they're eyes trained on the mystery man while the vampire just stood as still as stone. A spicy foreign scent wafted from him; the so called immortals did not know what to do in this person's presence. Something was not quite right with him, an echo of power they never encountered before. Godric looked toward the stage, his child lounged with his phone in his hands. Laughter was pulling the corner of his mouth, the stoic bored mask almost ruined. Eric has meet this man before, in fact he was in personal confidence to the business soon to be dealt.
Sookie's chuckles grew into giggles. The boyish immortal looked over at her. Her hand covered her mouth and she looked at him. " I've never seen the club like this!", she exclaimed," All the vampers are just so dumbfounded. Who's your friend?"
"That is something for tomorrow night. I fear its going to be a long one if you don't mind." She blushed and he knew she caught his implication. He laughed lightly,"I'm only teasing Ms. Stackhouse, I only want you to get to know me and I you on better terms. As much as I enjoy your physically company I want to know more about you." She laughed along with him. "I think I like your teasing but I see where Eric learned it from." she tartly answered.
"Tomorrow night then." He agreed. He walked outdoors with her and watched her slip into her car. The rusty little beater that had seen better days he was sure. He knew that she wanted to provide for herself, her sense of being made her self reliant. Pride could be a downfall and he knew she was stubborn, its one of the quality that pulled him to her on that rooftop. Maybe later he's help earn a more reliable mode of transportation. Maybe even a gift for a birthday or holiday. Godric maybe old, but the reason why he was still alive was the ability to adapt. Technology was a wonderful thing. Humanity evolved over time in a different way than the supernaturals. It still gave them an edge that surpised the supernatural society. He would never feel they were simple cattle for the slaughter, they lived such short lives but made such an impact either for the best or worst. After all vampire did start out as human, they just evolved in a different way.
Sookie's car disappeared down the road. Godric turned back into the club, the still chaos calling to him. What fun he was going to have in the next few nights.
Sookie sat in her driveway, she just sat there. Her mind was going a mile a minute. She touched her fingers to her lips, they still felt hot. Bill didn't kiss like that, hell Eric didn't kiss like that! He definitely didn't learn that from Godric. There was a twist of the tongue involved and a squeeze of the hand and she started to pant again. She opened her car door and walked up to her door on slightly unsteady legs. Pulling out her house keys; she noticed the lights were on, spinning around she saw Tara's car in the drive. Running into the house she burst into the kitchen. Tara sat at the table with a cup of coffee and a hesitant smile on her face. Her short curls framed soulful eyes as she rose from her chair. "Sook, I'm sorry I know I should let you..." Her apology was cut short as her sister hugged her tight. "Hush now Tara, your home."
The two girls parted and just held each others hands. Sookie decided to pull Tara back to the table and proceed to steal her coffee. "Girl one of these days your gonna have an seizure." Tara laughed out. "By the way that Texas job must have payed better than I thought! Or that fairy godmother of yours went all out."
"Actually its a long story Tara, get another cup," Sookie started. Taking a deep breath she started her long story since Tara's trip started. Forty five minutes later Tara just started at her across the table. " I thought no more vampires, least of all Eric as a friend? What the hell bitch?"
"I know I know Tara. Remember when I told about him after everything with Maryann? He's not your usual vampire, I think he's beyond anything we've ever known." Sookie explained. "He's visiting tomorrow night, would you at least try to give him a chance?"
Tara sat, looked down at the table before replying,"Sook after everything I've done, I'll try. But your the on;y family I got. And I don't wanna see you hurting again. I'll stick a damn stack in Bill Compton's pasty ass when I see him. Fucker had no right to do any of that shit to you and trust me I'll make sure no other vamper piece of shit hurts you or me again!"
Sookie started, she reached out her hand and grabbed her friend's. "I know Tara, I don't think Godric is the type of person to even cross the ones I love the most. Now you tell me about the trip you went one."
The girls listened to each other in turn. Tara was happy, she had met someone that helped her find herself. Not the way Maryann used her, but someone that recognized the passion that burned through her and her family. Laffe wasn't the only special one there. She met a man who went by the name Dr. Charles Tickle, he smelled interesting in Tara's words.
She was right, sookie thought to herself. There was some serious hoodoo shit going on. Her best friend comes home and she's the apprentice of a witch doctor. Then it clicked."Where's he stayin? And was he wearin a bright purple suit with a hat with a huge feather in it?" Sookie's eyes were wide.
"Yeah, why and how do you know that? Sook was you readin my mind? Bitch I told you not to do that!" Tara retorted. "No No. I saw him tonight at Fangtasia, he was meeting Godric. Threw every prissy ass there ina tizzy."Sookie replied.
Tara started laughing, " He did say he need to stop in to visit a friend, an old friend that he was happy didn't meet his end. Well damn girl, I guess I'll have to meet this man, if the doctor thinks he's something special i shouldn't be an asshole."
The girls laughed together and hugged again. It was time for bed. Tara and her decided they would start to fix up the house before the parted for the night. Both of them felt it time for something fresh and home was always a good thing to be proud of.
His meeting went well. After using Eric's office for a second time that night, Godric was more than pleased with how events unfolded. Business resumed back to normal, the excitement of Charles's arrival died down and the night went back into it normal pace. The old friends exchanged pleasantries. Each updated the other on events and plans, tales told.
Then business started. The doctor listened to his plans and agreed with his opinions. He would resume his mantle of War. After all he's been around for awhile, sadly the folktales about his adventures and cunning have died down. Fables were always his favorite bed time tales. He smirked, recalling the when the tales of Godric's trials were told. Before battles to inspire the weaker ones and to strike fear in the overly confident. Dr. Charles even remembered the time before the boy was turned, he would have been immortal anyway. The path he took was only along a different ridge, the girl he was with earlier was partial fae. She had no idea she kept the company of a god's son. The mythos of the world and ancient times allowed them to roam more freely. Maybe that was why Godric grasped the ability to change so easily. It was already in his blood.
He did shudder at the memory of Godric's turning, so much more painful than the normal vampire's. There was much more to burn away and claim.
Both men stood and shook hands, the horsemen would ride. The doctor was tasked with finding the other two. Both knew it wouldn't take long, there were ways around the other supernaturals to contact they're brothers. Charles just need to tell his student, he kept nothing from her. Godric knew this, just as he knew who this student was. He only wondered how about Sookie's reaction.
He followed Dr. Tickle out of the building, he asked Pam to pass a message to Eric for him. Letting him know he would be home before Eric, Pam walked away muttering how she was not a secretary and if she wanted to be one she would have back in the 50's. Then a tirade started about some show about ad execs. Sometimes Godric didn't know what amused his protege about his child so much. She was odd.
Back at the house he noticed his phone flashing. Picking it up the screen asked him a question. "4got 2 ask. What kind of TruBld wld u like 2mrrw?" He quickly replied, his host only wanting him to feel welcomed, the synthetic sludge was actually horrid. He also made a note to gift with a better phone. Text code still irked him to no end.
Death smiled to himself as he sat to plan out the next evening. Sookie didn't have a clue as to the whirlwind that was going to blow through her door.
