I feel bad cause I took a day longer and it's shorter then usual but I figure, out and short is better then late and long :/ I know no one probably reads this area/this story in general but, if you do, thanks! :)
"I dare say, my faith in Human kind is much stronger then yours," Newlin looked up to see the receding figures of all who stood by him when he was on the winning side, "Come."
"Sir, after what these Humans have done to you…" Stan stood in front of him, objecting to his decision on leaving in peace with no bloodshed.
"I said, come." Oh! Owned, b*tch! Stan got out of his way and let Godric march out, Eric and I following him out the door.
I stood by Eric, watching as people flowed in and out of rooms, conversing. Being in that tower for so long made me have a different personality. I was quiet most of the time but, I do have an other personality that makes me random, fun. Eric talked with Jason Stackhouse and I saw Sookie with Bill.
After a little while of Eric and I standing in peaceful silence, Bill came over to talk to Eric, alone. I wonder where Sookie was. I moved to Godric's area of seating and sat next to him. "What shall I call you?" I asked, ignoring the gazes of the Vampires near me.
"Godric, my days as Death are long over. It has been a very long time since I have seen you, Avalon. Do you still go by that name?" He seemed calm and serene in his surroundings but I had gone all over the Europe and Russia area with this man, I knew him like the back of my thumb.
"Payton, James, and Avalon. Those are the three names I have ever gone by. You may call me Avalon. Just for old times sake." He smiled slightly, recalling the ever lasting memories of us running thru the country side, all night long. I knew him when he was Human. That's how far back we went.
Isabelle came in with Hugo before Godric could reply, "Here is the one who betrayed us." She kicked Hugo in the back of the knees, making him grunt and fall to the ground. Sissy.
"Hugo," Everyone gathered around Godric, Isabelle, Hugo and I, "He is your Human, is he not?" The wheels turning in everyone's head, they couldn't see where this was going.
"Yes, he is." She spoke, that hint of proud no longer there.
"Do you love him?" That caught many people by surprise. Godric's eyes calculated and flickered between Isabelle and her Human. If she loved him, why must she pay the price for her horrible mistakes? It would hurt enough to send him away.
"I-I thought I did." She spoke meekly. Normally the word meek and Vampire are only in the same sentence is when there's an 'isn't' in between. Godric could tell that she did and I could tell as well, the love emanated from her.
"It appears you still do." I glanced at the others, taking in glances of the sympathetic, angry and emotionless faces of the Vampires and Humans.
"I do, I do. But, you are my Sheriff. Do with him as you please." Stan looked bored out of his mind. I don't understand why Tiffany made him. Tiffany and I were such good friends and I told her that she'd only create a demon if she made her boyfriend a Vampire. But, nope. Dear old, Tiff, still reckless.
Seconds passed by. Tension in the room. Would Godric play it nice and tell Hugo that he will pay, but, not with his life? Or will Godric mercilessly kill Hugo in front of Isabelle? "You are free to go." Or… Tell him he's free to go. I knew that Godric wasn't as cold hearted as he was as Death.
"What?" Stan yelled out, stepping closer to Isabelle and Hugo.
"The Human is free to go." Godric repeated, power clear in his voice. "And do not return, I fear it is not safe for you here." Godric cast a glance at Stan then Hugo, clearly sending a message on who would most likely punish Hugo.
"This is a travesty." Stan replied, in his awful gruff voice.
"This is my verdict," Godric retorted quickly, all Vampires on toes to see what would happen, "Eric. Escort them out, make sure they leave, unharmed." Eric stood near the door, standing out but blending in with all other Vampires.
"Yes, Godric." Eric murmured, grabbing Hugo, pulling him outside. Isabelle thanked him and the crowd dispersed, leaving Godric and I alone again. We sat in small silence, him gracefully accepting the welcome committee and I sitting, observing.
Eventually, I got up and walked out the back door, by the pool. I slipped out of my over garments and was left in my bra and panties. I jumped into the pool, cannon ball style. I opened my eyes and swam around under the calming stars.
I sat under the pool, thinking for a while until I realized that it wasn't helping me any. I climbed out and dried off quickly, my hair going back to the short style within moments of my fingers combing thru it. I walked back in right when the house shook from an explosion. Crap, why am I missing everything?
