I felt him approach. It's difficult to explain how. I just sensed this source of warmth and light coming to my direction. It helped me relax a bit.
I was still freaking out about Tara. I was literally on the verge of tears. Was I some drama magnet? Except all my vampire problems and the crazy woman living on my house, now I had to deal with Tara being possessed. God... I felt so hopeless when I looked to her dark eyes. But now that Godric was here everything was gonna be alright... If there was a person in this world that could help us bring back Tara that would be Godric. Bill already tried to help me but with no result. A dark form of magic was causing all of these. I could sense it but I couldn't explain it. Tears of anguish and emotional pressure escaped from my eyes. I felt so helpless and useless for not being able to do a single thing about all this madness. I walked out of the house and to the porch. I followed the source of warmth that I sensed into the back yard. He was there of course. His haunting presence was perceptible and his energy continued to shine brightly.
"Tears don't suite you, dear Sookie." He said with a smooth voice.
"Godric." I whispered in awe as I took him in. He was still the same. Dark short hair, emerald eyes, paranormal white skin... Nothing changed. He was even wearing white clothes. He didn't make an effort to reply. He stood still, watching my every move carefully.
"How are you here?" I said more loudly this time.
"It is not proper to have this discussion right now. I've come to help you." He said calmly and reached out his hand for me. I accepted it without hesitation and let him pull me a little closer to him. An electric feeling rushed through my veins at his touch. I tried to shook away this feeling. I had to concentrate on Tara not Godric. "Tara is possessed by someone or something. I tried to read her mind but it didn't work. Even Bill tried to glamour her but her mind remained shut." I shuttered quickly at him. He didn't lost his cool. Instead he just nodded his head and started walking towards Lafayette's house.
"Let me check on her." Godric said with a reassuring tone. I relaxed a bit at his words. Everything was gonna be ok. I followed him inside and without a word I guided him to Tara.
"What's he doing here?" Bill hissed at the sight of him. "You are supposed to be dead." He continued more aggressively, this time speaking to Godric.
"Mr. Compton, your questions can wait to be answered later. I believe that Mrs. Thornton situation is more important, right now." Godric replied calm. There was an apathetic look on his face as he passed by Bill, walking towards Tara.
Bill glared at me angrily and I gulped anxiously. For some reason I didn't felt safe anymore. The warm feeling I had whenever I was near Godric vanished in an instant. All I was feeling was fear. Fear that Bill might do something to Godric or me. I already knew that he thought that I lied to him about Godric. I didn't need my ability to understand this. But it pained me the fact that Bill thought I lied. Didn't he trusted me at all?
"Dear Sookie, would you please assist me?" Godric's soothing voice brought me back to reality.
"Yeah, of course." I replied quickly as I made my way towards him. I needed to focus on Tara, I would deal with everything else later. "What do you want me to do?" I asked him before kneeling next to Tara.
"In a minute, I will restore Tara's mind. You must help her control the mass of memories that will rush in her mind." Godric explained quickly as he prepared his self.
I just nodded at him and got ready to insert Tara's mind for the second time this evening.
"Tara." Godric called while he touched the sides of her face softly. "Tara, look at me." He continued with a calm tone on his voice.
"No! Never, get away from me. You burn me." Tara screamed at his face with attitude. But he didn't budged.
"Tara... Look. At. Me." Godric said again. But this time, his voice held authority. Everyone in the room turned to look at him quickly, unable to resist the tone in his voice. Tara did too.
The moment her chocolate eyes met Godric's, she started screaming in agony. The weird and remarkable thing was that she didn't turned her head away. She kept exploring the emerald sea of his eyes.
"I now release you from the darkness. You are free to live in the light, my child." Godric said serenely before backing away from the now trembling Tara.
I quickly closed my eyes and got into her mind easily. Godric did it! He actually did it! Before I could have the opportunity to feel relief, Tara's painful memories insert my mind. I tried to keep everything under control without losing my calm. Images of Eggs and Maryann filled my mind and I felt disgusted and socked.
Soon enough the blast of memories stopped and Tara was crying in my arms.
"I'm crazy. I'm really crazy." She whispered in shock.
"No, no... It was not you." I said in a try to console her. But it was pointless.
"I'm sorry." Tara trailed off before running to her mother's arm, tears staining her face.
"My job here is done." I suddenly heard Godric saying. I quickly turned to look at him, afraid that he would vanished in thing air.
I saw him walking outside and I hurried up to follow him.
"Sookie, do not go near him." Bill said grabbing my hand and pulling me back.
"He saved Tara. I owe him." I told him as much calm as I could. I always got mad when Bill acted like that. But right now I didn't cared. I just had to get to Godric.
I pulled my hand away from Bill's grasp and run outside. With no hesitation, I followed the trails of light and warmth Godric left behind him. As I approached him, I felt a gasp escape my lips. My eyes widened up in amazement at the sight in front of me. Here he was... circled by at least ten fireflies that were flying around him. A small smile was playing in his lips as he watched them. He was like an angel fallen from heaven, ready to be lift up again.
"Godric." I whispered in awe.
He didn't turned around to look at me. He didn't made any movement at all.
"Are you ready for the answers you seek, dearest Sookie?" His voice sent shivers down my spine. Warmth filled me up once again as I felt his bright energy circling me.
Was I ready for answers? I had no idea. I could think clearly when he was present. I couldn't even remember my questions. The questions I was dying to ask just two minutes ago.
How could I be ready for answers when I didn't even knew the questions?
Tell me what you think about this. I know it's small but I just want to see if you guys are still into this story.
I'm also looking for a new beta reader, so let me know if you want to 'have the job'.
