Godric POV

The mood in this room is almost unbearable, even for one like myself.

I can feel everyone on edge after what the little Fae revealed to me, and Victor during our meeting right after first night. Believing we were on the correct track on understanding who the enemy is, and their plan was a mistake. In fact we have come to the conclusion we are very wrong on our assumptions.

Flash back a few hours earlier

My eyes snapped open when an hour before the sun was to set, and I could feel tonight was going to be different. My instincts are screaming that something is going to happen, but I don't know what. However, what I do know is over my two-thousand years I have always listened to my instincts, and it will not change now.

I rise from my resting place as soon as the sun is firming resting for the night. I could have been up earlier since my age does allow me to "awaken" before most vampires these days. But I needed to think, because of the strong edge I am sensing tonight.

Quickly, I showered, and dressed, so I can meet Victor to go over what we have figured out with this new enemy and the fellowship. Things have been going better than I could imagine with deciphering their plans - almost too well. I head towards the door and out of instinct searched to feel my child, Eric, but there was nothing. I then remembered what happen then night before, and it saddens me to know I can't feel my child.

Yes, I could force our bond open, because he is my child, but I know if I do that it will drive him away even more. Eric, has never been good with any type of emotions - he can barely control them once he starts feeling. I should have never allowed him to find out this way, especially now that he dealing with "her".

Pushing the thoughts aside I leave my resting spot, and head towards my main office room where I conduct some meetings. I see Elena exiting Eric's room, and I can't help but glare at her. She just looks at me, and rushes down the hallway - I will have a talk with her later.

As I turn towards the hallway that will lead down to the office I feel someone rushing towards me, and I swiftly turn around, and slam them into the nearest wall. My fangs are released, and I'm about to rip them to shreds when I notice the scent it was, Jessica.

I leaned in closer growling, "Have you no common sense to NEVER rush towards me while we are dealing with these stressful times?"

She is trying to speak, but I am crushing her neck. I loosen my grip just enough for her to speak her foolish reasons. "I didn't mean to go so fast. I'm still tryin' to practice my vampire speed and how to switch to my human speed. You didn't need to attack me, thank God I'm dead so to speap or you would "killed" me."

I smirked and dropped her to the ground, "Young one, I wouldn't have killed you, I have much more control then you believe. If anything, you would have simply lost a limb. Now I sense you want to say something, what is it? I don't have time to waste tonight."

Sitting on the ground in a small yellow dress she looked me in the eye, "I just have a favor, I need to learn how to fight and since you're in charge here I thought I'd ask you."

Now, that I wasn't expecting! I honestly thought she was going to ask me ab- never mind that thought. I step back from her and leaned on the opposite wall with my arms crossed. I'm going to have a little fun with this.

"Now why do you need to learn how to fight? Your only about nine days or should I say nights old. You can barely drink True Blood. You can't even feed from humans or - as you just demonstrated - control your speed. You can't even control when your fangs are released. So why should I waste my time in making sure you will learn to fight?"

I watched her stand up quickly, and release her fangs, and I saw something in her eyes that wasn't there before. "So I have a shit maker who rejects me, and haven't taught me anything. He gave me nasty True Blood, and left me, my first night as a vampire. Yes, it sucks so bad, almost as bad as the time my little sister read my diary out loud during a family gathering. But that doesn't matter, I can do this! No one seems to care or want to give me a chance. I can be a good vampire if I am taught what to do. Please! I feel useless right now!"

I stood there not moving for a few minutes staring at her. I could see she was determined, and I'm glad she had that fire within her. With guidance she could be a remarkable vampire, but I would not be telling her that. I started walking down the hall, and stopped.

"Starting tomorrow night Stan, and Isabel will start in teaching you the basics. Then once you have completed that, we will begin with training you how to fight. But first you need to learn how to feed from a human, and control your speed as well."

"Wait, Isabel and Stan? They are so boring! Why can't I hav- "

"NO! You want to learn, you will go by my rules, and you will be trained by who I say. Are we clear?"

"Crystal."

I smile and continued walking slowly down the hallway, then stopped again. "Jessica my back may have been turned away, but I know you rolled your eyes. Next time you do that, I will rip them out, and you will have to wait until they slowly grow back."

I could sense her fear when I was finished, and right before I turned the corner I said one last thing, "There are only two options for our kind Jessica, Death or survival. You were smart to choose survival."

I quickly walked down the short hallway, and opened the door to my main office to see Victor's guards already there having drinks of royal blend blood. I saw Victor kneeling before my couch drinking deeply from a fangbanger femoral artery, while she moaned loudly in bliss.

Letting out an irritated growl I walk quickly towards them, "I see you're making yourself comfortable Victor."

He slowly removed his fangs from the fangbanger's thigh, and faced me.

"Well, I am King I like to enjoy the pleasures in life even in trouble times. Come Godric drink with me."

"I am not hungry, and we have business to attend to. Get rid of her now."

His eyes narrowed towards me, "May I remind you I am King."

"May I remind you are King of California, we are in Dallas, my area, my nest, and my authority, so you have no say here. Now, get rid of her, so we can get down to business."

He snarled a little then took a handkerchief from his left pocket to wipe his hands as he licked his fangs clean. Then pushed the girl out the chair, and told her to leave. He didn't even bother to help close her wound, and she was bleeding heavily on the floor.

"You could've closed her wound Victor."

He laughed, "Why she was my meal she can patch herself up."

I watched the girl struggle to stand, and walk out the door, and I felt something inside me when I saw this. Quickly coming behind her, I sat her in a chair, and started to lick the vicious bite on her thigh. Once the taste hit my tongue I almost bit to have myself a drink as well, maybe I should feed after all.

The wound closed after just a few minutes of me licking it up, and all the extra blood on her leg was gone. I could smell how aroused she was from my actions, but I would not be indulging into those desires right now.

Slowly standing up I knew she was at the door before she could say anything. "One moment little fae."

The fangbanger had disappointment in her eyes when she saw I wasn't going to ease her arousal. I lifted her back to her feet, patted her bottom, "Off you go my dear. Make sure to see Isabel for your payment." One rule I enforced to allow fangbangers within my nest is that they are to be glamoured in forgetting our location when leaving. I take no chances with my nest.

The fangbanger smirked towards me, and walked out the door past the little fae who was glaring very hard at her. If I didn't know any better she was jealous - opportunity knocked once again.

"Little fae do you want me to lick you as well?"

She turned her head quickly towards me, and turned bright red. "You watch how you talk to me. I'm a lady, and I would like to be spoken to as such!"

I heard Victor laugh behind me when she said that, and she glared at him. Before words could be spoken between the two I cut in.

"What can we do for you little fae? We are in the middle of business."

"Well you must be terrible at business since she just walked out the door."

I smirked, "You sound jealous."

"Just concerned because some enemy is out there watching us, and y'all two are entertaining some fangbanger."

She had both our attention now. "What do you mean Sookie?"

She stepped in the office completely and closed the door. "I know for a fact they are watchin' us here."

I felt Victor tense as I narrowed my eyes. "How do you know this?"

"I heard them this mornin' when you all died for the day. I was walking to find some quick breakfast when I went past a window and I heard someone outside."

"What do you mean heard? Tell us everything now Sookie." I could feel my patience wearing thin. I didn't like knowing they were watching us, that they could be this close.

"When you guys die for the day, I lower my shields since I can't read any of you, and no one else is awake. Plus, it can be a really nice break! Anyway, I walked past a window when I heard a voice using my disability. Whoever it was said, "It won't be long now before we finally get our revenge and the La Nuit du chasseur returns.". I made sure to remember it so I could tell you right away.

My entire body froze when she said that message to me. It just couldn't be, I needed to be sure.

"Sookie, you need to assure me that what you 'heard' is accurate, it's very important and our survival could depend on it. Now are you sure?"

I watched her nod, and reach into her pocket for a small piece of paper, and handed it to me, while shaking. "Yes, I'm sure I wrote it down just in case, and the person was right outside your home. What is going on, you both almost look afraid. Tell me what is going on!"

Victor turned towards me, and since his arrival his eyes had deep concern in them. "Godric, you will need to contact "him". We are going to need his help, if what she says is correct."

"It's been over nine-hundred years since we have last communicated. The normal channels may not work anymore."

"You have to try, because we can't know how to defeat the enemy without help, and you know this. Play games with your survival, but not mine. You must contact him."

"Don't you think I know that Victor! Even if I did contact him, since the war things have been strained between me, and him, and we ended things on bad terms last time we spoke. He may not come to help us."

"He will come if he knows we have one of his kin."

I stared in surprise at him. How could he have known? Before I could respond the little fae cut in. "What is goin' on? Are we in danger? Godric whoever this person is that can help listen to Victor, and contact them. We need help!"

Before I could stop myself I shouted, "I will not use you in that way Sookie." I knew I just made a mistake.

She froze and took a step back, "What do you mean use me? What do I have to do with this?"

Victor decides to blurt out what Sookie didn't know. "He doesn't want to use you, because who he must contact is your kin, the prince of Fae Niall Brigant."

There was nothing but silence afterwards...

End of Flashback.

I'm shaken from my thoughts to Jessica calling my name, and I notice all eyes were on me.

"What is it, Jessica?"

"I asked what is a Fae. I've heard it been mentioned in a few of our other meetings, but nothing has ever been explained."

Sookie cuts in quickly, "I agree, you people keep callin' me some fae, and I don't even know what it is, since I'm suppose' to be part of this fae."

Everyone was now sitting in my main office on the couches trying to discuss the findings of what Sookie revealed to me and Victor. I even allowed Trinity to attend this meeting because something tells me she knows more then she is leading us to believe.

Victor decided to do the explaining. "I think I will take it from here Godric." I saw Eric glare at him. "Fae are the most delicious, tempting, and dangerous creatures to vampires, they are also known as Fairies. Not like the fairies you humans made up to put your children to sleep. But warriors, tricksters, magic users, ethereal beauty with silver tip fangs. Their blood is the most delicious aphrodisiac a vampire could get. We go into blood lust when we have but a taste of pure fairy blood. I can only imagine what will happen draining a full fairy. I haven't had the pleasure yet. There wa-"

Before he could continue the little fae cut in, "How can you say I'm part fae when I don't have silver tip fangs. My blood is nothing special, and I'm no ethereal beauty."

Eric decides to finally speak and what he says was unexpected, "I can guarantee to you Sookie your blood is some of the best I've ever tasted."

Jessica was the one to cut in now, "Wait when did you taste Sookie?" I watched as the little fae turned red. "Jessica now is not the time; I'm tryin' to prove I'm no fae."

"Sookie, come on everyone wants to know our secret anyway we should just tell them since it could be an advantage to us."

"Eric NO!" I could tell she was losing her temper.

"Me and Ms. Spitfire - sorry forgot you hated that name Ms. Sookie have a blood bond."

I could feel everyone in the room freeze.

"Before anyone asks, it happened before we arrived in Dallas, and as Sookie has made it clear, it's for protection only."

"I wouldn't have done it, if you told me the truth about it. I was in danger, not lookin' to cheat on Bill, you monster."

"But you did it anyway, because you knew Bill Compton couldn't protect you like I could."

Before either one could continue Trinity spoke while staring coldly at me, "So she is your bitch big brother?"

I watched Eric shift a dark glare towards her. "Don't call me that, and sadly no she isn't mine just under my protection."

I could see Victor staring at Sookie hard, and then Jessica stood up over Sookie with her fangs out. This baby vamp still has no control.

"Funny how you told Bill to fuck off, but the entire time was betraying him with Eric! I don't know a lot about vampires - which is sad because I am one, but I do know blood bonds are the ultimate betrayal. You're the biggest fucking hypocrite ever Sookie!"

Sookie's eyes widen in surprise and hurt. "No, I didn't even know I was betraying Bill. Eric didn't tell me anything he just said it was protection."

"Why did you even go to Eric for protection? You were Bill's, so going to Eric for anything is a betrayal! I wish we would have let you died in the woods when you were attacked."

When those words left her mouth, I moved so fast she didn't know what was coming. She was pinned to the wall with my hand around her neck once again, but this time it was no game. My fangs were released, and I leaned close to her face. "Don't you ever wish death upon anyone in my nest, guest or not, because if you do you will face the true death, and you won't have to worry about learning how to fight."

I dropped her, and turned back towards everyone else in the room. "What is done can't be undone. We have more pressing matters to discuss."

"Yes, like how I'm related to a prince?" Sookie blurted out quickly.

I groan slowly and walk back over, "Sookie, I didn't think it would be wise to tell everyone here, but it's too late now."

"Why master, I didn't know you kept secrets." Trinity tossed in while smirking at Eric.

"Enough Trinity! We can discuss later about your kin Sookie, but for now we have discovered a bigger problem with our enemy. It could be worst then we were led to believe."

Elena finally speaks for the first time in our meeting. "We know its fae behind this, but we have that fae weapon as an advantage over them I say we attack now bef-."

"We cannot attack them, because we don't even know who exactly the enemy is."

Jessica is back near us and recovered from me pinning her to the wall. She looks confused and starts to speak, "Wait, I'm confused. You guys just said it was a fairy behind this, and Ms. Elena said we have a fae weapon what is the problem?"

Elena gives Jessica an amused glare, "Don't call me miss it makes me feel older then my five-hundred years."

I smirked, "Jessica, we know it's a Fae, but we don't know which Fae or where they are located. They are very hard to find in this world when they do want to be hidden."

"What do you mean hard to find?"

I looked at the little fae, "Just like Sookie here, they can blend in with humans very easily. In fact they can hind their scent and true form."

"Wait, does this mean I have some other kind of form?", a panic Sookie asked me.

"Yes, we have already seen your spark when you glowed a few nights ago. So I assume even though you are part fae you have a fairy form."

I watched what I said process across her face, and could see things are becoming too much for her this night.

"Perhaps we should stop for the night."

"No! I hate that I never knew any of this, but somethin' is goin' on and everyone here needs more answers."

I look at Sookie in the eyes, and can see she is being stubborn about this, so I nod in understanding.

"What about the weapon?" Jessica throws in while I and Sookie were having our silent conversation.

"It's only part of a fae weapon. There are two other pieces, and I can honestly say I'm not sure what this weapon can do. I only hope we can use it against our enemy. One thing is clear, they are not working alone since they have the Fellowship working for them, and we have yet to figure out what their purpose is."

"What about contacting that fairy you, and Victor told me about who can help?"

"Sookie, I will let everyone know of my findings. I can't guarantee anything because I need to go through proper channels."

"I think everyone should know now." Sookie said glaring at me.

"Sookie, don't you know Godric has this nasty habit now of keeping secrets to himself, even from me his so called child." Eric is making things more difficult than it should be.

"Eric, do not bring our personal problems into this matt-"

I was suddenly cut off by my office door opening, and I caught the scent of the fangbanger from earlier tonight. What was she doing here?

"Excuse me, I think I am to be of service to you."

I shifted my glare towards Victor quickly, "I thought I told you pleasure can wait after our business is completely."

"I didn't ask for her to return, but I'm glad she did I could use another drink."

"Now is not the time Victor."

I walk towards her with a small smirk ready to send her on her way.

"I'm sorry my dear but I'm sure you received your payment, and we no longer need your services for tonight."

She looks me straight into my eyes. "Godric you will need all the help you can get."

I was on guard in a second along with everyone else, "How did you know my name?"

Before she could respond Sookie cuts in, "There is something wrong...her mind. Its full of holes and I can't understand anything. Oh My Gravy, she has been glamoured!"

Quickly looking back at her I try to glamour her to leave and forget this night. But its almost like something is blocking me.

"If your trying to glamour me you should stop. I know what your planning and will always been ten steps ahead of you. You can't stop me this time Godric and you will be destroyed if you try. Having Niall's kin will not help you. Take this time to make up with your child Eric we know how dear he is to your heart."

I release my fangs quickly and was about to rip this fangbanger apart when I realize we needed her alive to see if we could break this glamour, and get any info out of her. "Who are you?"

I then notice she had her hand in her pocket the entire time, and she pull out a remote.

"We are always ten steps ahead of you Godric.", and I turned my head towards Sookie and went towards her, as I watched from the corner of my eye the fangbanger press the button.

Then all I felt was fire then nothing.

Sookie's POV

We were in the middle of finding out more about fae, my people. I was shocked to my core about some stuff I found out. I couldn't believe I had some - pardon my language - fucking other form. Maybe I am an alien? Before we could continue further that bitch Godric was going down on and investigating her lady parts earlier in the night walked in.

I knew something was off right away with her. I tried to read her mind and I kept getting weird images and nothing made sense in her head. I decided to say somthin'.

"There is something wrong...her mind. It's full of holes, and I can't understand anything. Oh My Gravy, she has been glamoured!"

Then out of nowhere while her and Godric were takin' she pulls out some kind of remote thing. Like the ones you see rich folk use to turn on and off their car alarms on TV and in the movies.

I saw everyone tense, and it was like the next five seconds went into slow motion.

Godric turned towards me, and I saw Eric look at me as well. Then I suddenly felt myself being pushed down, and the entire room exploded with fire, and blood went everywhere. I felt like I couldn't breathe, and there were cuts along my legs. I couldn't see anything, because of the heavy smoke in the room.

That's when somethin' strange happened. The heavy weight that pushed me down was on top of me then suddenly the body disappeared, and what replaced it was blood and guts.

Its then I realize a vampire just met the true death on top of me, because they saved me from the explosion.

I couldn't take it anymore, and I could feel myself fallin' into darkness surrounded by flames, and death, and I knew no more.

AN: There you go chapter 5! I hope you guys enjoyed it. So who died? What are the Fae up too? Who is working with them? So many questions that will soon be answered. :)
