Promise of a Lifetime
Chapter SIX
I make my way back through the cemetery trying to get home, it's starting to get dark and the sunset in the distance seems to be taunting me. I think about what I said to Sookie and I giggle to myself. I actually have no idea why Sookie can't read my mind, maybe it's because I have some sort of mental barrier that I put up subconsciously.
The wind begins to blow and I stop to take a breath. The trees in the cemetery give off the smell of autumn and I watch the pink skyline slowly become dark. The tombstones that surround me make me think of him. Where was he right now? The night I had put a mark on his hand I had been so unsure, with it I could sense if he were near, almost as if I could feel his life force. I wasn't sure if it would work on him or not, due to him being dead already, but sure enough as the intricate designs formed on his pale skin, I could feel his presence. Almost as if his life force was a power flowing through me. I had first done this on my pet dog as a child, I new that when my mom had told me he was on a long vacation, she was lying. It was as if his power, his life force, had been wipe off of this earth.
I lightly touch the base of my thumb and I think of Godric. Where his mark had been, it is now on my palm. The design is beautiful and I look at the detail; an intricate pattern of lines and tiny roses make up the mark. The wind blows across the cemetery, sending a chill down my spine, I suddenly feel so alone. I urge to turn back and see Sookie is over powering and I find myself retracing my steps towards the old house.
Once at the front door I stop, I hear Sookie talking to Bill, "Bill I'm going and you can't stop me."
"Why does Eric want you to go? This is not our territory," Bill sounds angry, but more worried for his lover.
"Look, Eric is paying me and you are going to come with me, what more problems could there be?" Sookie reasons with him.
"Still, this Godric is the oldest of us all, how is it that he had been taken like that?" Bill's words echo through my head, I was so out of it that I hadn't noticed that the door to Bills house had shattered.
"SKYE! Oh my starts, what's wrong?" Sookie screams and Bill pushes her out of the way, fangs bared.
I touch the spot on my hand and I know that he is okay, but how much longer will he? "Your taking me with you Sookie, and there is nothing that you can say that is going to change the outcome, I'm going with you, and I am going to take Godric from those bastards." The sound of my voice resembles that from the last night I saw my mother.
Sookie looks confused, and Bill is still on his guard, realizing that I have over reacted I regret scaring them, "I'm sorry Sookie, Bill, I just, I…I need to see Godric again."
Sookie steps away from Bill and she walks toward me, Bill wants to protest but Sookie looks so sure of herself, lightly she touches my arm and she looks straight into my grey eyes, "I'll take you, but Skye, you have to let me in."
I shake my head, "right now I wish I could, I would give ANYTHING to show you why I need to see him, but I don't know why you can't read me Sook, I just have to see him," my voice begins to waver as I plead with her.
Sookie nods and smiles at me, "okay, I'll tell Eric that he has to arrange for an extra plane seat, and you need to get packing. Skye, can you try to let me in?"
I nod my head and close my eyes, I try to relax and I imagine her reading my mind, I imagine all of my thoughts and memories going into her mind, but as I slowly open them again, Sookie looks pained.
Bill rushes to her side just as she clasps her hand over her temples, "Sookie, are you alright?"
"Ye-yeah, Bill I'm okay, Skye that was too much!" she begins to laugh a little.
I look at her and I am confused, "too much? What do you mean? Did it work?"
"Yeah a bit too well, everything came at me at once and it was overwhelming, it was more like confusion, I couldn't make any sense of it," Sookie giggles again, "what did you think of?".
I blush a little, "EVERYthing."
"Well try to think of the important thoughts."
I close my eyes again and this time all I think about is the night I met Godric, and the last time I saw him. I remembered the kiss that we shared, and the feelings I had for him, the feelings I wanted him to have for me.
I open my eyes and Sookie's smile has pread form ear to ear, "OH Skye! Of course we will take you with us! How could we not!"
I blush again and I can tell that Bill is lost, I look down and I can't believe it, I am going to save Godric, I will see him again.
Once Skye left the old house, Sookie grabbed Bills hand and pulled him to the couch. Placing her hands on her lap and her head on her hands she left out a sigh. Bill placed his hand on his lover, unsure of what had just happened between the two girls, "Sookie, what is the matter?"
"I don't think it was me who read her thoughts Bill, it was Skye that forced them into mine. What is she Bill?" Bill looked at his lover and shook his head.
"I don't know Sookie, do you want me to do something, I could-"
"NO! Heavens no! I just, I'm worried about her, and she is so young. What if we can't find Godric, what will happen to her?" Sookie looks at Bill, a worried look spread across her face.
Bill grabs the blond human that he loves and holds her in his arms, and the two of them sit in silence, until a voice from the stairwell penetrates the quite, "What happened to the door?" Jessica stands at the base of the stairs, holding her bag.
Sookie smiles, "it's a long story".
