"Eric that's enough." Godric had spoken from behind him. He spoke with authority but still had a softness about him, which I couldn't help but like. He stood up from the chair in which he was sitting and moved two steps closer to where Eric and I were standing.
Eric's fangs immediately went away, but his stare, and smirk continued as he backed away from me and stepped closer to Godric. His stance seemed almost like he was trying to protect him. Isabel had informed Jenny and I of the travesty that occurred earlier at Godric's place. A few died, and more were hurt. She also had said it was because of a traitor in the "nest" although she did not say who this traitor was. Godric saw to it that all the vampires had a place to stay in Hotel Camilla, which is how we all ended up here. Thinking about that made me realize why Eric would be protective, but honestly what relationship did they have that Eric would even try to protect Godric.
"I am sorry Godric, I let my… temper get the bet of me" Eric said looking down to the child-like vampire.
"This is not how we want to portray ourselves, as monsters who can take away lives. Just because we can, does not mean that we should, or have the right to." Godric said as everyone looked on. There was a misplaced sadness that Godric possessed that I could easily see but did not understand. He turned and walked towards the door. Before leaving he stopped and looked up towards Eric, then walked out.
Those two are quite strange. I thought to myself. I heard Sookie snicker a few feet to the side of me. I had forgotten that she told me she could "hear" people's thoughts.
I grabbed Jenny out of her small slumber on the couch and draped her arm over my shoulder. Struggling, I made my way over to the polite, Spanish Vampire, Isabel, who was standing by the chic door. I had definitely had enough of vampires for a one night.
"Thanks for everything Isabel, but we are leaving. It was a pleasure meeting you." I said mustering up as much happiness as I could bear.
"Yes," She said in her elegant voice. "It has been a long night for everyone" She nodded "At least let me walk you to the car." She asked trying to be helpful. Jenny had nearly passed out and her brunette hair seemed to bounce from my shoulder to Isabel's shoulder almost instantly.
"Ill walk you out" Eric said taking Jenny out of Isabel's arms, and into his own. Although jenny was two inches taller than I, I myself am only 5'4" and 125 pounds; she was a good 20 pounds heavier than me. Eric seemed to lift her as if she was as light as a feather.
"I think we will be okay thank you so much, since I am so unworthy of your time." I stated sarcastically, trying to take Jenny out of his grasp. The rest of the room had slowly begun talking again. My conversation with Eric was now just one of many conversations. I rubbed my head gently. I was starting to get a headache.
"That you are." he said just as sarcastically. "However, you cant carry her out to the car, I can," He said holding her bridal style. "So, lead the way." He said pointing to the door.
The walk to the car ended up being a long uncomfortable expedition. Eric said nothing to me. Instead I walked a few strides ahead of him until we got to the car. After he put Jenny in the back seat he stopped to stare at me.
"Can I help you with something?" I said impatiently as he stepped in front of the driver's door. The pounding in my head was getting worse. I sighed; crossing my arms over my chest I popped my hip out in an aggravated gesture.
"This is the thanks I get for helping you?" He said in his now normal rude tone. He leaned against Jenny's Car
He's getting comfortable! I thought to myself. This is just great! What did I get myself into? I used both of my hands to start massaging my temples. "Is a thank you really what you wanted Eric? Well, thanks is there anything else?" I asked looking up at him.
I had to admit speaking with Eric even the little amount that I did was very exhausting. This mind game he was trying to play was getting annoying and childish. He looked up at me, and slowly removed my hands from my temples and started massaging my head. I closed my eyes and just enjoyed his touch. I had to admit the coldness of his hands made my body shiver, but his movements made me melt closer to him. He moved slowly from my temples, to my hair, giving my head the best massage I have ever felt. It calmed me completely but as soon as I opened my eyes everything was in a hazy.
I heard two people laughing. They seemed to be enjoying each other's company. I couldn't see much of anything though the fog was too thick. Eric's voice snapped me out of my daze.
"Interesting." He said calmly, looking me dead in my light blue eyes.
I pulled my hair back into a low ponytail and looked down nervously. When I was nervous I fidgeted, and now was no exception. We only a few inches apart and I took a deep breath, inhaling Eric's scent. When did we get so close? I backed up two steps. "I should be going. I have to get her home." I said never looking up. When did I get so shy, especially around an egotistic jerk like Eric?
I closed my eyes and he bent down and kissed my forehead. Slowly trailing his lips along my skin until he was by my ear he whispered softly "Jag kommer att se dig snart Emelie." (I will see you soon Emelie.) As soon as I looked up he was gone.
I never thought Soon could scare and interest me so much at the same time...
