a/n: I am so sorry for not updating for months but I do have a valid reason…I was in an accident and have been struggling to recover. But I am healed almost completely so I really am trying to write again. Please leave reviews, I worked hard on this chapter.

Chapter 8…my pain

I looked at both of them for a reaction but I got none. We sat there for minutes in silence until godric broke it "when did this happen?" godric asked me and I looked down at the floor "one year ago" I whispered to him.

godric's face snapped up to look at me.

"how could you?" he asked me and I heard in his voice that he was angry "godric I had to or else I would have died" I said and stood up to walk out of the room but godric pinned me to the wall "NO… how could you not have told me!"

Godric yelled in my face with his fangs out and my heart rate sped up and I felt that feeling again in the pit of my stomach the same feeling I always felt when I focused too much on my past "it was my burden to carry alone" I said and godric put his hand around my throat.

"do you know what this means? You should have told me before" he yelled again and I tasted the blood in my mouth. I looked at godric and I was shaking from fear, ever since riley tortured and beaten me… whenever I focused on him or another vampire pinned me down that pain returned and in a physical way.

I always bled somewhere and usually from my mouth and nose but when it became too much I would start bleeding from my ears and only on rare and I mean rare occasions do I bleed from a cut that would appear somewhere , that place always is my chest or stomach. It was like a spell that wanted me to keep living in the past. "Godric I…" but I couldn't finish because godric cut in "how could you not have told me, you are so stupid" he growled out.

Flashback: "you are so stupid. Did you really think that I would not see you kiss him? You are mine and only mine, do you know what that means? It means you are my pet I own you, you are my slave and I am you're master. You do what I say when I say it. Do you understand what I am saying?

Of course you don't because you are just some slut, a whore for vampires and a bitch and I do not mean a bitch that is mean but a bitch like a dog hence you are my pet!"

riley screamed in my face and then he backhanded me drawing blood from my lip and next came his fist into my jaw almost breaking it.

"Stop riley, please stop" I whispered but his fist came into contact again until I passed out.

End of flashback: "I'm sorry but he kissed me first" I said and godric's eyes went wide and looked back at Eric

"you kissed what is mine?" godric asked and through their bond eric said that he didn't kiss her and he didn't know what she was talking about. Godric turned back to danalynne "who kissed you danalynne?" but she stayed silent and then his anger became so much he didn't realise what he was doing "answer me who the fuck did you kiss? Tell me before I rip you're head off!"

Godric growled out wanting to know who forced his love to do something.

"riley please stop" she whispered and godric looked at her strange and realised she thought she was still with riley, he went up to her and pinned her to the wall shaking her to get her back here.

"Danalynne it's me godric you are not there" but danalynne shook her head and kept going.

"stop please!" she begged and godric lost it again and slapped her in the face and her whole head turned followed by her body.

"godric!" eric yelled at his maker for doing that to her "godric?" she asked knowing that name and then she started to cough up blood to the floor .

"danalynne I am sorry, I didn't mean it" godric pleaded but she still coughed up blood "eric what's wrong with her?" godric asked turning to his child and eric quickly explain that it also happened last time when he mentioned riley.

"Danalynne you need to calm down and stop the bleeding" she heard godric's voice but she could not focus "godric help me…" danalynne said before she blacked out on the floor soaking her clothes in her blood. Godric carried danalynne to her bedroom so that he could clean her up and that she could sleep.

While she was sleeping godric and Eric talked. "Godric you know what I have to do. I have to tell the magister what she did"

godric knew this but they will kill her for killing a vampire, if the magister found out they would make her suffer. "Eric you know what will happen to her and I can't let that happen. I won't let her suffer for defending herself, for fighting for her life"

Eric looked at his maker and knew it would tear him apart if danalynne would suffer. "Godric I can keep this quiet if you like" but his maker looked at him shocked "you could lose your own life eric. Why would you risk it?"

Godric asked his child because the eric he knows would never do such a thing unless he gets something out of the deal.

Eric couldn't tell his maker the truth, he couldn't tell godric that he was becoming attached with danalynne so he lied "because why should she suffer for protecting herself from an asshole" and godric nodded "thank you my child it really means a lot to me"

godric was about to speak again but he couldn't "thank you eric for keeping this from the magister" a small voice said and they both saw danalynne walk in toward eric and what she did next surprised them both.

she put her arms around his waist and hugged him tight "you are supposed to be resting not hugging me" eric said with a smirk and she did the same "how can anybody be able to sleep with you two in the house" she said and walked over to godric and sat down.

"mind explaining why you were bleeding?" godric asked and eric also sat down to listen "well I never went to see a doctor but I guess my mind thinks I am still there and then I bleed" I said and shrugged like it didn't mean anything.

"Eric we need to talk" danalynne said and he raised his eye brows for her to continue "I want to go and work at merlots and I promise to stay at you're house" eric was about to yell but godric cut in "I think it is a wonderful idea" he said to her but mostly to eric.

"Dawn is coming soon I think we should all head for our rooms" godric said and stood up to go to his room and with vampire speed he was there within a second.

"So… I guess I will see you tonight Eric" danalynne said and walked towards the stairs "danalynne wait…" Eric said and she turned around to look at him "I am sorry for what happened to you. No one so young must go through that" I smiled at Eric and walked over and gave him another hug and Eric rested his chin on top of her head and she just sighed and walked back upstairs.

Danalynne quickly showered and then got dressed and walked to godric's room to see his door was open.

"do you mind if I come in?" I asked him and he smiled at me "it's surprising to see someone so young with manners like yours. But please come in and join me" I walked over to him and sat on the bed on the opposite side of him. "What's bothering you little one" I smiled and thought I would never hear him call me that again "nothing I just wanted to be close to you. Do you mind if I sleep here in your room?" he raised his eyebrows and she got the wrong message so she stood up to leave.

"where do you think you're going? You're supposed to sleep here in our bedroom" he said and saw her eyes light up from happiness. She climbed under the covers and he laid down with her and godric pulling her to him, a gasp leaving her mouth and he chuckled at her.

"do I amuse you godric?" she asked him and he turned her over and looked deep into her eyes smiling down at her "yes you do in so many ways" he answered and she pulled him down to her lips kissing him goodnight.

"goodnight godric" she said and snuggled up against his chest "goodnight little one" he said back and soon he heard her breathing was even which meant she was sleeping "no one will ever hurt you again or eric and me will kill them for it" he whispered to her and kissed her head and then turned out the lights and pulled her closer to him.

As eric laid in his bed he thought about what danalynne told them it was truly shocking but his thoughts went to two questions one was this riley Compton related to bill in anyway and two where were the fang marks on her body?

Eric was listening to them talking and he heard godric talk to her and he became angry this girl was changing his maker and he didn't like it at all. "something must be done about her" he said to himself before falling asleep.

Back in bon temps: "sookie you don't understand she was the most beautiful girl I ever saw" sookie rolled her eyes at her brother because he kept talking about a girl he saw in Dallas and he wanted to find her.

"Jason you don't even know her, she could be a serial killer." Jason stared at her "sook I know I don't know her but I can't get her out of my mind" sookie felt sorry for her brother this was the first time he talked about a girl like this.

"fine what was her name?" she asked and Jason's smile lit up "danalynne. Her name was danalynne. We were supposed to meet for breakfast but she never showed up and then we came home and the thing with the maenad happened so I didn't have time to find her" sookie couldn't believe he was talking about danalynne.

"Jason I know who you are talking about I know her. Sam is trying to get her to work at merlot's. But she is already taken Jason" Jason looked at her frowning well on the bright side sookie did know her and maybe just maybe sookie was wrong and she was single.

"uh yeah I'm gonna head home. Goodnight sook" Jason said and before she could even say something he was out the door.

Danalynne woke up and saw it was already past seven at night and looked over to see godric wasn't there she got up and took a shower, 20 minutes later she walked down to the kitchen to find eric there "godric is with the queen we are leaving in 5 minutes to go see sookie"

danalynne was disappointed it seems to her that godric is always at the queen "fine I'm ready" she said and went to wait outside. Eric took out his phone and called pam "pam I need you to go into my office the red file on my desk read it and do what it says" eric told pam but she argued back "just do it pam!" eric yelled and snapped his phone shut.

He walked out to see danalynne standing looking up at the stars "come on" he said and took her around the waist and he flew them to sookie's house. They landed in the cemetery and started walking to her house. "I see you're in a mood tonight" danalynne said to eric trying to make a conversation. "I am" Eric replied back, danalynne just sighed walking behind eric.

As she was walking she thought about godric, he kind of seemed distant towards her. She wondered if she said anything that he would be angry over but did not find anything. "Can you walk faster?" Eric asked her as she saw he was far from her, she quickly ran to him and saw sookie's house. It was beautiful even if it looked worse for wear right now.

Both danalynne and eric went up the steps and waited at the door, danalynne stood behind eric but she actually just wanted to go and be alone.

"hello sookie." Eric said as she opened the door "they came for you?" he asked in a motionless voice.

"just one this morning. He took off before I could get anything out of him. Is that why you're here or do you know something about bill?" sookie asked in a hopeful tone.

" I lied to you" eric said and went to sit down only then did sookie see danalynne and noticed she was up-set so sookie listened to her thoughts 'I wonder why he is so distant towards me, I love him and that's how he treats me' sookie's eyes went wide she couldn't believe danalynne was in love with eric.

Why not godric? She went and sat next to eric and so he told them about the time he and godric was in world war two.

"you and godric were in the SS?" danalynne asked shocked because it was the first time she heard of it. Eric looked at her and sent her and angry look and then he turned back to sookie. "we posed as whatever would help us in our search" sookie saw the look eric gave danalynne and felt sorry for her "but you were hunting the Nazi werewolf's" sookie said to eric not able to imagine that "the symbol is runic.

This uh…pack dates back a lot farther then the Nazi party." Danalynne went over this in her head and then thought of something "so there not Nazi's?" she asked but eric ignored her "no they're much more than that. These are not ordinary werewolf's they're organised, well-funded, highly trained and fuelled by vampire blood."

"why didn't you tell me this last night?" sookie asked eric "the bigger question is why am I risking everything to tell you now. My loyalty is not to bill. It would be advantageous for me in numerous ways if he were to be never found but…"

Sookie looked at him shocked by his words "but?" she asked wanting him to go on "now they're coming for you and I owe you" eric said looking vulnerable and looked at danalynne and glared at her, she got the point.

"uh sookie can I go in and get a glass of water?" she asked sookie smiled at her "of course go right thru the living room and the glasses are in the sink. There is cold water in the fridge as well." Danalynne smiled back "thank you sookie you are really kind" danalynne said and earned another glare from eric she ducked her head down and quickly went inside.

Danalynne walked and found the glasses and took some tap water and filled her glass she sighed and started to sip the cool water.

"when you said you were risking everything to tell me, what did that mean?" sookie asked eric watching him for any lie.

"the goal tonight was to keep you out of danger not put you in more of it" he said and started to walk to the steps. Sookie quickly got up and followed him "eric you can't just say something like that and then leave" sookie said and eric turned around with a smirk on his face

"oh I'm not leaving. You're gonna invite me in so I can protect you… or have passionate primal sex with you" eric said and walked her into the corner of the porch "how about both?" he asks her.

"you're not gonna distract me by talking nasty" she replied confident of herself, eric smirked even bigger "I already have, so are you going to invite me in?"

Sookie raised her eyebrows at him "I'm still bills" sookie said and played with the tips of her hair with her left hand. Eric looked down and saw her engagement ring "so you are" he said coldly.

Danalynne was drinking more water and heard wood creaking behind her and turned around "eric?" she called out but heard nothing more. Danalynne turned around and looked out the kitchen window into the woods, she could have sworn she saw something moving but just thought of it as a bunny.

Eric walk past sookie on the porch and starts to speak "to have and to hold, to love and to cherish to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah until death do you part. Doesn't it bother you that you'll be the only one dying?" He asked her trying to lure her into his trap.

"I'm not gonna talk about this with you" she stated simply "okay, so you'd really stay out here than invite me in" he said looking at her and she just crossed her arms over her chest and eric's eyes wandered down for just a moment.

"one minute you lie to me then the next minute you ask me to trust you. You do something generous and selfless and then something nasty and cruel" she tells him and waits for his answer.

Eric heard a growl from inside the house and his neck snapped to the door. He vampire speeds to sookie and push her into a wall "invite me in" he tells her and she looks scared but stood her ground

"you can't bully you're way in-" she gets cut off by eric's fangs that snaps out "invite me in now!" he growls just as sookie was going to invite him in they both heard danalynne yell "ERIC!"

"please come in Mr Northman" sookie said quickly and eric zips into the house to see the wolf wanting to attack danalynne but when the wolf saw eric he turned to him.

Eric snarls ready to fight "eric don't" danalynne tells him because she doesn't want him to get hurt. The wolf growls and jumps at eric, sookie grabbed her gun and shoot towards the wolf but before it could hit him eric jumped in front of the bullet.

The bullet hit him in the stomach and he yelled out in pain "what the fuck eric!" danalynne yells at him. Sookie hears the wolfs thoughts 'holy shit V' the wolf transformed back into a man and both danalynne and sookie stared at the naked man.

The guy runs to eric and try's to bite eric but before he could he grabbed him around the throat "stay back sookie ,don't shoot he knows" eric yells "he knows what?" danalynne asked but eric ignored her "who do you work for?" eric yells at the man

"give me a taste fucker, come on" the man yells trying to get some blood "who. Sent. You?" eric yells in his face, eric lets go and the guy bites the wound on eric's stomach they both yell eric out of pain and the man out of pleasure.

"I am so gonna regret this" danalynne says and sookie looks over to her, danalynne runs to eric and tackles the guy off of him and slams them both into the wall. Danalynne hits the wall first and while she got herself together the man got up and ran for the door but before he could reach it sookie shot his leg and he whimpered.

Eric was on him in an instant "for the last time who do you work for?" and sookie hears his thoughts again 'you can't man-dog me fanger! You got nothing on Jackson' the guy looks at eric "if I tell you I'm as dead as you are. You might as well kill me now."

Eric lifts the guys hair and see the werewolf marking in his neck "as you wish" eric says before he bites into the guys neck and growls tearing a piece of flesh away while the guy screams in pain and then falls to the ground lifeless "oh…I got your rug all wet" eric says to sookie looking innocent.

Danalynne stood up and saw what happened "are you out of your fucking mind?" she asked shocked at the scene, eric only growls at her "shut the fuck up" he tells her and her eyes go wide

"do not talk to me like that" she yells at him, eric zips up and stand in front of her "fine please shut the fuck up before I kill you" he growls out into her face.

Danalynne shook her head "fuck you, I will walk home" and she starts to walk past him "you can't, you don't know where it is" he replied with a smirk on his face, danalynne turned around to look at him "I will find it myself" and turns to walk again.

Eric gets mad at her and tears his shirt in two, he took one of the pieces and tied it over her mouth to the back of her head gaging her and took the other piece and tied her hands to the railing on the porch.
