Chapter 7-
Disclaimer
An- Godric is very OOC right know but as you've guessed he's already half gone Grimm. At the moment he's running on instincts. This won't last forever (maybe 2 or 3 chapters) but my version of Godric will be more animalistic that true bloods in general. I wanted him to be still the thinker he was in the show but also the devious 2,000 year old vamp who taught Eric most of his tricks.
With Bella.
Bella came too slowly. Like she was deep underwater and couldn't quite break the surface. What had transpired before Bella passing out weaved itself into the forefront of Bella's mind. She had been captured by the fellowship of the sun and thrown into a cage in the basement. Bella had found a vampire and then her memory got hazy. Gasping, Bella remembered being bitten and drank from until she had passed out.
The basement was lighter than it was yesterday. Looking at the corner near the ceiling Bella saw a tiny window. It was daylight outside. Well around late evening. The light came nowhere near the close to the thick cage that had encompassed Bella. Trying to sit up Bella found she couldn't. Something was literally wrapped around her.
Bella glanced down. The first thing she noticed was soft brown hair. It's the vamp that had bit me! His head was resting on her collarbone with his face tilted upwards in her direction. He had her blood all over his chin and neck. It was starting to crisp and flake in places. His thick arms were around her, crushing her to him. His thighs straddled her waist. Bella was surrounded by him. He was on top of her and it looked like she wasn't getting anywhere any time soon. For someone who only looked a few inches taller than her, he sure was heavy.
Bella took her time to look around the place. The basement was large and housed another cage on the opposite wall. Bored with nothing to look at Bella concentrated on the vamp on her chest. He was really handsome. His cheek bones where high and he had a strong jaw. Defined facial bones where Bella's weak point. She hated people with a weak chin that looked like one gust of wind would break it.
He was muscled but not heavily so. Bella reached a hand up and ran her finders through his short hair. It was feather soft. Bella jumped when she heard screaming coming down from the stairwell to the basement. It sounded so familiar. That's when Bella noticed her cousin being dragged down the stairs like she was yesterday. Bella was too shocked to say anything. Did they get off on kidnapping women? Sookie was pushed into the other cage and so was a male. Bella had no clue no clue who he was.
Gabe locked their door and left the basement. Bella looked over to her ragged cousin. "Sookie?" Sookie span around and looked around until she spotted Bella on the floor "oh my god Bella, are you okay? Are you hurt...? WHO IS THAT ON TOP OF YOU?" Sookie had walked over to the cage bars and clung to them.
Bella sighed. Sookie can be so dramatic. "I'm fine. I'm not hurt. I think I found the missing sheriff though. They chucked me in here because they wanted him to eat me. I can't remember much." Bella didn't want to let Sookie know he had chomped on her a little. Sookie was bad enough as it was, she didn't need more ammo. Luckily His face and Bella's neck were facing the wall and not in Sookies eye line.
"That's Godric? Stan was right, the fellowship had him. Don't worry Bells, Bill will come at sundown and we'll all get out of here." Bella wasn't so sure. Something still rang wrong within her about Bill. Something didn't add up and usually when that happened one of the numbers where off. Bella had thought they were some sort of mates like the Cullen's had explained to her but Bill wouldn't even think about Sookie going into a dangerous situation, no matter who ordered him. Yet she was here. So if that cancelled out mates than why was he so adamant that Sookeh was his?
"Godric, that's his name? Anyway you have to listen Sookie. Cold ones are here, there behind this whole fellowship fiasco. Cold ones are like vampires but venomous. They can't be staked, the only way to kill one is to dismember it and light it on fire before it can reattach itself together again. They're fast and are rock hard. They don't burn in the sun, they sparkle. Newlin let it slip when he spoke to me. He said the Angels where telling him things, he said they sparkled in the sun. Its definitely cold ones Sookie. We need to get out of here now. I don't know if it's one or more or even what their game is. I do know though that three humans and a half starved vampire aren't going to be much of a fight if one decides to show their face. We need to get Godric home and get him some blood, who knows how long he's been down here for."
Bella didn't know why she cared so much about a vampire that she had only just met and got bitten from but she did. He looked pale even in vampire standards. And what was wrong with his eyes. That red fog looked bad and Bella got an ominous feeling from it. "Cold ones? I've never heard of them. How do you know them Bells? Is that why you moved in?" Bella huffed. The questions would have to wait; they NEEDED to get out of here as soon as the sun dipped.
"I'll tell you later Sookie, now is not the time. We need a plan." Sookie stepped back and put her hands on her hips. "Okay I'll wait. But I told you Bill will come soon. We just wait for him." Bella gaped. What had happened to Sookie? The Sookie she used to know was independent and didn't rely on being saved by someone. She would save herself. Bella wondered if vampires had a sort of that changed people's behaviour like cold ones scent could. Edward had explained that even his scent drew in prey, sort off bedazzled them. Was Bill bedazzling Sookie?
Bella turned to look at the ceiling. She was still feeling woozy from the bump to the head and the blood donation yesterday. Unconsciously her hand drifted back to stroke Godric's hair. The sun would be setting any minute. She hoped he wouldn't finish her off. He didn't yesterday though and Bella had so many accidents that had cost her a lot of blood that she knew he hadn't taken much. Bella's hand moved to his cheek. It was as soft as his hair but cold. Bella let her hand drop. She didn't want him to wake up and think she was molesting him. She just...wanted to touch him. She couldn't explain it.
A purring noise grew loud as it echoed through the cell walls. Bella felt a nose nudge her throat. Godric's eyes were wide open and looking straight at her. The red fog had gone somewhat but was still very noticeable and still covering a majority of his eyes. They were still filled with that need but she couldn't read anything else. It was like he wasn't really awake. That he was still asleep deep inside.
Godric rubbed his face into Bella's hair still making that weird noise. He's most properly been down here for ages and god knows how long without food. I bet he's gone slightly feral. Bella rubbed her hand soothingly up and down his arm. The noise got even louder if possible. "Bella what's that sound?! Is that Godric nuzzling your neck!?" Sookie shouted over to Bella.
Three things happened very fast then. One Bella found herself pushed into the far corner of the cage. Two Godric had her pinned there with his back to her front. Finally three the purring had stopped only to be replaced with a terrifying snarling noise that vibrated even through the concrete. Bella had no clue what was happening.
Right he's definitely gone feral. So that means he's thinking like an animal too. Snarling would mean threat , so... He sees Sookie as a threat! Bella was glad she figured it out before something drastic happened. Bella tried to peak over his shoulder but he kept blocking her and the snarling got worse. "Sook don't yell. I think he's starving and it's sort of messed him up a little, you know turned him a bit feral. Back away and don't shout again!"
Sookie for once did what she was told. Bella didn't blame her she would have done the same if she had to face down a 2,000 year old , extremely angry vampire. Bella started running her hand up and down his back to try and calm him. It eventually worked and he turned around , curling around her again with his face berried in her neck. The purring started up again and Bella felt him nuzzling the bite mark on her neck. Have I fallen down a rabbit hole? Today just keeps getting weirder. Scrap that these last 3 , 4 months have been nothing but an acid trip.
Bella didn't even notice she was still stroking his back. She did notice how his muscles crunched and relaxed when he moved. She really needed to stop being such a hormonal teenager. Bella glanced over to Sookie to see if she was okay when she saw her and the other man arguing too quietly for her to hear. Bella felt a hand clasp her cheek and turn her face downwards and to the left. Apparently Godric didn't like her looking at the guy. She really wished he was coherent enough to ask what was going on but at the moment he was like a tiger in a human skin.
The basement door slammed open and she was back to facing Godric's back. It's not that bad of a view. Bella shook her head to get it back on track. She might need to see a shrink soon , something was definitely different. Bella could see Gabe enter Sookies cell and she could hear screaming. Bella acted without thought.
She dived towards her cages door and raised her hand. The Mental crunched and distorted until it all came tumbling and sinking into a ball. Bella felt dizzy but she still ran and launched herself onto Gabe. Gabe simply back handed Bella and she went crashing to the floor. A blur of white knocked Gabe over when he stood above her. Bella looked as the two tumbled to the floor. Bella watched as Godric tore through his throat while ripping something meaty from Gabe's chest.
Godric was by her in less than a second. He was smothered in blood. He raced her into a corner again. He pulled her up and into his chest sniffing her. Screams echoed down from above. "BILL!" Sookie yelled. Bella was pulled even tighter into Godric. Does Sookie just have one noise level? She loved her blonde cousin but jeez she could go supersonic sometimes. The basement door shot open.
A giant blur appeared in the cage. It was Eric. Eric looked around and finally spotted Godric in the corner. He came crashing down on his knees with a big thump. "Godric." Eric noticed Who Godric was holding and an amused grin stretched across his face. Godric's face snapped up and he snarled in big Blondie's direction. Eric immediately moved backwards dragging Sookie with him. "The Red Haze. I was right. Thank Valhalla this happened know. Come on Sookie we need to leave and before you ask Bella is as safe as she can be. Godric will get her out." Sookie nodded and followed Eric to the basement door.
Before Sookie and Eric had reached the door , it exploded into little tiny bits that ricochet of the walls. An extremely Pale man and woman stood at the opening. The woman was extremely short even compared to Sookie. Her short black hair spiked in every direction possible. The male was tall and lean with messy hair that was a strange bronze colour.
"Not so fast. We had a whole party planned for tomorrow , it would be an awful shame for the guest of honour not to be there. We were going to have a lovely... Bonfire." The woman's voice was like the tingling of wind chimes, it grated on Sookie. Bella looked up and towards the voice. She breathed in sharply.
"Edward? Alice?" They both smiled.
AN – I'm sorry it's short and late AGAIN , I promise next one will be normal 5,000 words. I've been busy with studies and I'm learning Bulgarian. I'm also thinking of working on an ERIC/BELLA story. Would anyone be interested in that? Thank you for all the reviews and favs and follows! I hope you enjoyed this chapter even if it is very short.
