A new chapter, but I wont be able to say when I will be updating next, but I will. Its just i will be gone for the weekend and I have an essay and an art assignment to work on. I think you will like this chapter, it helps transition the scenes and move on with the plot. I have it all planned out. Review please, It motivates me to write. Still working on that chapter for The Revolution. Thank you for the reviews and alerts readers! Vivian seems so different from when the story started to now, not her views on vampires, but how she acts, it will all balance out. She seems so whiney and annoying...that will go away soon. Godric seems OOC (out of character) at times, trying to not let that happen though.
"Godric" I screamed threw the door. "Let me the fuck out of here"
My fist came to the wooden door like a bullet, quick and full of sound. Here I was, locked in this damn room once again, it had been a week since my last encounter with the vampire Godric, or so I thought. I had lost my sense of time. I did this just about everyday, since I had been locked in here.
"Godric" I shouted again, this time more strain on my voice. My body was starting to sweat and my hair was everywhere. This was a work out. "I swear when I leave this room and this fucking hell of mine I will kill you first" but did I really want to kill him? you know how words just seem to come out on an impulse. Though he would probably kill me first. No, he wouldn't kill a human.
I had been in this room for too long and I was bored, my mind was consumed with the kind of boredom that would make you go insane if left.
After my last encounter with Godric he grabbed me by my arm and forced me back into this room, at the time I was flustered so I didn't fight.
"Okay this is human cruelty, leaving me in here" I stared to shout again, if I keep this up my throat will want to jump out of my body. "Someone seriously"
My fist went on the door again, but it didn't seem loud enough. My feet, I should kick the door. Lifting my right foot up, my good kicking foot, I launched it toward the door. Oh it made a loud noise, but the noise wasn't worth the pain I received from my stupidity.
"Oh that was a good one Vivian, good job, idiot" I stated to my self as I began to hop on my left foot toward my bed. I jumped on the bed to examine my foot.
A loud knock came at the door.
"Are you decent?" asked a female voice.
"Decent meaning what? Being in pain, being locked in a room against my will"
The door opened, it was Chloe.
I turned my face away from her.
"I know I am like the last person you would want to speak to, but I brought you your dinner, its pasta, garlic bread, and a caesar salad" she laughed.
She walked over and sat the trey of food on the table in the center of the room.
"What's so funny?" I asked. "The fact that I am here against my will and you all have something to laugh about"
"Oh honey, I was laughing at the irony" Chloe smiled. "Garlic bread? you get it?"
"Yeah very funny"
Everyone knew that garlic wouldn't harm a vampire.
Chloe walked over to me her heels making a loud annoying clicking sound. She stopped in front of me then placed her hands on her small hips.
"I know this seems bad babe" Her tone of voice was completely different from when I first met her, she was even dressed differently. Black skinny pants, gold pumps, and a grey tank top, her long hair was pulled up in a pony tail exposing her bite marks on her neck. She made my long sleeve gray t-shirt and black skinny jeans look like trash. "But it isn't, you have a sheriff on your side"
"So" I rolled my eyes. "he is still a vampire, that is not going to make a difference"
"It could be worse you know, like you could be in the down basement, locked in the dungeon, but Godric doesn't want to treat you badly, he is a good man, a kind hearted man" Chloe began to shake her head.
"Know one knows where I am or how I am being treated everyone thinks I am dead" I stood up and off the bed. "You all don't understand, me being gone makes you all look bad, it is giving vampire's a worse name"
"So you care" did I?
"Who said I care"
Chloe's once red lips now covered in clear gloss formed a tiny smile. "You do care"
"Maybe" At that moment It all clicked and I realized that I did care, that I didn't want to cause anymore destruction of the world. "And that is why I need to go, to talk to the press, to settle things"
"That is dangerous" She quickly alerted.
"For whom?" I squinted my eyes.
"For you" I jumped to hearing another voice in the room.
It was Godric, he was leaning against the door, dawned in a gray v-neck sweater and kakis pants. I had to look away, flashes of our last encounter fled into my mind. I began to feel hot, bring my hands to my arms I pushed the sleeves of my top up.
"You need to understand this" I turned back toward him and glared, shaking my strange thoughts. "I do not care if its dangerous, I care about what is happening to the world, the press needs to know I am not dead"
"You don't mean that, the whole idea scares you" He stood off up from the wall and slowly made his way over to me.
Sticking my finger out I poked his hard chest. Godric did not move or even acknowledge my touch.
"It does not, I really don't care what my out come is whether I die or not" I brought my hand back down at my side and formed a fist. "Do you not get what I want to do, what I am going to do, I am going to prevent attacks on here, I am going to prevent wars, conflicts if I can, you might be this 2000 year old vampire and have all the knowledge in the world and think you have the right to assume about me, but you don't"
Godric took a few steps backwards then clinched his jaw together. He opened his mouth again.
"I do not have to assume anything" he was so sure of his self.
Chloe began to laugh. "Its like you two are in love or something"
Bringing my fingers tighter into a fist I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, Chloe's comment was unnecessary. I opened my eyes to look up at Godric and exhaled.
"Just please let me go" I looked at him with begging eyes, threatening to cry to do anything just to be set free. "You wont have to hear from me ever again and this never happened, I never met any of you"
"Follow me"
"What?"
"I am setting you free, but I am trusting you to not cause any harm to my nest once you are out" He tilted his head and gave me a concerning look.
"I will not" I ran a hand through my messy mane pushing the long strands back, feeling relieved that I would be able to go. "Can I have my things that I came here with, my silver"
"Of course" The tone was back, the tone he had that night he met me.
"Are you really letting me go?" I examined his face for an expression.
"Yes" He turned to face me, no sign of any emotion.
Godric led me outside, it was dark of course, a bit chilly and windy. I looked up at the building we just exited, it was big in size and made of brick, It was modern in style by accented history. Large covered windows with tall thin doors. Trees leaned over the building giving it an eerie, mystical feeling and look.
I awoke from my starring when Godric handed me a small red velvet bag. My hands grasped it and opened it, it was my ring and necklace, I had to make sure it was all there.
"Thank you for everything" I whispered. Would this be the last time I would get to see him? MY heart began to ache. Why? "Thank you for saving me from Eric that night and for cleaning me up, and for caring"
I was shifting my weight from one foot to the other, feeling really awkward I was. He didn't speak, he just stared at me, soft weary eyes and a slight smile. Was he sad?
"I guess I will be leaving" I turned on my feet and set off trying to figure out where I needed to go. "Though I have no clue where exactly I am"
"Allow me escort you home, its the least I can do"
"Wont that be dangerous?" I turned on my step and faced his direction, there he was standing beneath a street lamp, light that almost made him look angelic, harmless, all things that would invite you in, to be near him.
"No" He breathed, a smile covered his lips, wide, he almost looked childish, lips spread apart exposing his straight bite. "Nothing can harm you if I am with you"
"I didn't mean me" My face went serious.
"Nothing can harm me, I can snap humans in two, as if they were mere twigs and vampires fear me"
"Thats comforting" I laughed. It was funny, but he was being serious. "Really vampires fear you?"
I blinked my eyes, then opened them, then he was gone out of the light. Where did he go? A gust of wind blew threw my hair causing me to shiver, I wrapped my arms around my body to try to save some of my body heat.
"You laughed?" His voice. He sounded full of joy.
I turned around, he was behind me. His finger tips made it to my cheeks, trailing down to my neck. His palms curving around my throat, but lightly, not choking.
"A pleasant leave, is it not?" He asked in a low whisper. His cool breath made its way to my feverish feeling cheeks.
"Yes" I smiled. "Pleasant indeed, lets keep it that way"
"Yes" His hands left my body. "Your skin, it always heats up when I touch you, I can't remember if that is normal for a human reaction"
I leaned my head down, looking at the ground, curses of having pale skin and always turning as read as a cherry.
"Don't worry about it, I might just be getting sick, from standing out here in this chilly fall weather"
"Then we will take the car" he smiled.
"You can drive?" I asked astonished.
"Yes" He laughed, he truly laughed as if he was living, letting go, not composed, just acting on an impulse. "I have lived for 2000 years of course I can drive, follow me.
The car was warm and pure luxury, something that Zach's family could probably afford, a black fully loaded jaguar it was, leather interior, something I would not approve of, but it was still nice. I told Godric the street I lived on and the neighborhood, the neighborhood was an middle upper-class neighborhood, nothing too fancy, but the place was nice.
The Ride was quite, I had fallen a sleep, it was about an hour ride and I guess I had been tired. I wouldn't have known if we were there if it wasn't for Godric waking me up.
"Vivian" I felt cool smooth finger tip smooth over my eyelids. "Vivian, I am at your house, in order to not cause a problem I need to leave at haste"
Not completely awake I moved over slowly situating myself on a cold soft cushion. I felt so content I didn't want to move, where I was at felt so right, perfect almost. I smiled and sighed.
"Vivian" a whisper entered my ear. "Please, love, wake up"
Stretching my arms I awoke. I opened my eyes to see Godric was just inches away from me leaning over me. Thats when I realized I was laying on his lap. Instantly I sat up.
"We are at your home"
My eyes went out the window, seeing that I was indeed home.
"I must leave now, I need to get back, my nest does not know where I am at"
"Thank you" I smiled. "For letting me go and taking me home"
"It was the only way to make sure you got home safely."
"Now I need to make sure you get back safely" I really didn't want this vampire to get hurt. "knowing you if a human was to attack you, you wouldn't fight back, so I think you should be on you way soon"
"Yes" he smiled. He seemed so human out side of his nest, out of his position of authority. It was nice, very nice. "I wouldn't"
Suddenly my messy red hair came from behind my ear and in front of my eyes, reaching out Godric placed it back behind my ear, lightly touching it.
"I guess this is good bye" I interrupted the silence. "We will probably never see each other again"
it was harsh, but realistic.
"Yes, hopefully our paths will not cross again, only for your good of course"
"Yes, for my good" I dropped my head, losing his eye contact.
Godric's hand made it to my chin, lifting my face back up to meet his gaze again.
"Vivian promise me something please"
"What"
"Please stay safe, away from both vampires and your kind, being a member of the Silver Sun is now more dangerous than ever"
"I can only try to stay safe" It was true I could only try. "I will have to talk to the press and make up a story"
"Yes"
"I guess I will go now" my hands grasped the door handle, but before I could open it, Godric had opened it for me. He was outside of the car.
"Talk about being dangerous" I rolled my eyes smiling.
"I was only being a gentlemen" He smiled. "To walk you to your door"
We walked to my door and stopped, it was as awkward as being on an unwanted date with a guy who really wanted to kiss you but you didn't want to kiss him...but this kind of wasn't like that, for one Godric was a vampire and I hadn't just got back from an unwanted date.
"Good Bye Vivian" Godric began to lean in toward my face, I didn't move, he leaned in closer and grabbed the bottom of my chin, then placed a soft kiss on my cheek, so close to my lips he was. "Please be safe"
I turned to the door and began to knock. Then turned around, he was already pulling out of the drive way.
