It was the year 1352 now, and we were in France, and Eric was wandering around the city by night, leaving me to return to the Chateau we were staying at.

When I walked in, I found Godric sat on a chair, chin resting on his folded hands. He looked conflicted once more as he stared down at the sleeping form of the young blonde headed woman.

"Every fiber in my being wants to rip the life out of her..." he said quietly now as I walked in, and I walked over and put my arms around his neck, staring at the girl too. "Then why don't you?" I inquired, and he sighed, tilting his head so it was touching mine.

"What's the point?" he said, eyes almost sad. I sighed too, looking at the sleeping form of the girl- I could see why Godric was so conflicted, for she was so beautiful, and I could smell her blood- it was a rarity. Beyond inviting that it was almost irrisistable.

"What's the point in killing so much?" He said now, and I said, thinking. "We have to kill to live Godric. It's in our nature."

"But what if we didn't have to?" he asked me now, and I thought about his words for a moment, then nodded. "That humans and vampires could co-exist?"

Godric nodded, and I chuckled. "You've seen humans. A thousand and three hundred years for you Godric. You know what they do to humans that they don't understand... imagine what they would do to the likes of us."

"Maybe in the future?" Godric asked me now, and I nodded. "Maybe."

I knew he was on and off the wagon of sorts. He just didn't find peace in senseless killing anymore, and was trying to change. Godrics views on humanity were interesting, and when he told me and Eric of his life before he had met and changed us, we understood his hatred for humanity, wanting to inflict the same pain on them as he had felt.

Eric was all for the bloody route, but I was with Godric- change was needed to survive, and evolve.

"Why don't you just take what you need, and that's it?" I asked him now, and he nodded. "I have been considering it... but it's hard. When I get started, I don't stop. I just end up tearing them apart."

"Well... you have me and Eric now. Seems like a good time to start." I said encouragingly, hugging my maker again. Godric nodded, then sighed. "Not today. I'm tired and dawn shall be here soon..." he groaned. "And Eric isn't back yet."

"I don't know why you let him out your sight." I chuckled now and he groaned. "Sometimes I agree with you. He can be so very..."

"Wild?"

That made him laugh now, then nod. "Exactly. He could take a leaf out of your book and listen more."

"Oh he listens... I think he loves having too much fun."

"Is that a hint of jealously I sense?" Godric asked me now, and I groaned into his shoulder. "It is. It just feels... like he doesn't really care about me anymore. He just seems so... distant."

"Is that what you think?"

I let Godric go now and turned to see Eric stood in the doorway, looking rather hurt at me. "Eric..." I sighed, but he just said bitterly. "Spare it." then vanished upstairs.

"He'll calm down." Godric said now, getting up from his chair and walked over to the side. picked up a large box and gave it to me saying. "I saw this earlier. I hope you like it."

I frowned now, but then opened the box and pulled out a beautiful dark green dress that the royals seemed to wear and smiled. "Oh, this is beautiful-!"

"We're in France now mon cherie. Everything's more beautiful." Godric told me, then added with a sigh. "I am going to bed. Goodnight." he took my hand now and pressed his lips to it briefly, then was gone.

I, on the other hand, went upstairs to Eric who was munching down into a girls neck.

"You are a total social disaster." I told him now, stripping out of the older dress I was already wearing and that got Erics attention.

He was over in a flash, arms around my waist and lips at my neck. "You do know how to get a mans attention my love."

"Maybe so..." I said, then slammed him onto the floor pinning him there as I sat on his chest. "But men like you need to learn some manners."

"Teach me then." he smirked, arms around my neck and lips on my own. I could never stay angry at him for too long, and him the same way.

Godric called from under the house now, telling us to get to bed before the sun came up. He was sounding rather annoyed too- probably the sounds of me and Eric kissing that was doing it. He'd already banned us from having sex in the house when he was there too, sick of the noise and god knows what else.

I did agree on that- poor ancient Godric.

We hadn't met another vampire at all since we had been turned two hundred years ago, and that seemed strange to me, but Godric assured me there were hundreds, thousands of others like us out there. There always had been, and always would be.


"And around-"

I was laughing now as Godric danced with me around the room while Eric watched with a raised eyebrow. Godric was a good friend and teacher, and we were both very loyal to him.

Godric twirled me around now and caught me, saying. "Practice makes perfect my child."

"Thank you." I giggled, and then Godric turned to Eric who said. "You really think I'm going to dance with you Godric?"

"Not me you fool." he said, then led me over by a hand and put it in Erics. "Freya."

That was another thing that had changed- I had changed the last syllable of my name to an A. It seemed more modern and pretty apparently, and both Eric and Godric approved. Another with the name changes, the fashion of having a last name had arisen, and me and Eric had been exchanging ideas.

Eric had suggested Eden for me, and I had given him the one Northman. Simple enough- he was from the north, and he was a man. Tadaa!

Godric approved of them, but never took one for himself.

So now we were Freya Eden and Eric Northman.


Eric took my other hand now and pulled me close, smirking. "Dance with me Miss. Eden."

"Of course Mr. Northman." I grinned, letting him take my waist, dancing with me for a moment, then took me hands and turned me around, hands going up to my chest, but I slapped his hands and he chuckled. That was him all over...

A pervert.

"You're mine." he said into my neck now, and I scowled. "Eric, stop being so possessive!"

Eric raised an eyebrow at that, and I sighed. "Do you actually care about me anymore?"

"Of course I do."

"Then why are you going around with all these fucking whores and not bothering with me at all then-!" I demanded and he scoffed. "So?"

I slapped him now, and as I went to yell something else, I heard a sharp voice.

"Stop this now."

Godric intervened now pushing us apart and said. "What is this childish nonsense?"

I scoffed at Eric- three hundred years of putting up with this had taken its toll, and even Godric was getting rather annoyed with all this arguing. I pulled away now and said to Godric. "May I leave for a while? I need a break. Please Godric..."

Eric laughed now and said. "A break-! What the hell are you talking about-!"

"Exactly!" I hissed and added. "You don't give a crap anymore! Loyal you say? Go and piss off to your whores!"

"Stop this now!" Godric hissed again, never losing his temper once. He sighed, then turned to me and took my hands into his. "Are you sure Frey? You really want to leave?"

"Not because of you." I sighed, looking to Eric and growled. "Because of him."

"Don't you da-!"

"Yes, you may Freya."

Eric looked shocked at that, then said to Godric with a snarl. "What-! No! Godric don't you dare-!"

Godric put his hands on my shoulders now, then sighed. "I love you my child. If this is what you want, then, as your maker, I release you."

Eric walked out now, and I sighed heavily- I had to leave, to see the world some more... be independent. But me and Eric, we just weren't working out these days. Maybe it was the hype of being a vampire getting to his head.

Godric hugged me once more, then asked sadly. "Where will you go?"

"Around." was all I could say, and he nodded. "Please be careful. You are always welcome back."

I nodded. "Thank you." he kissed my forehead now, and I turned away, heading out the door.


"Freyr..."

With just that simple name, I knew who it was. I turned to Eric and sighed. "Please don't leave."

"Eric... let me leave."

"No." he just said now, and I groaned as I saw bloody tears in his eyes. I shook my head and said quietly. "I need to grow up some more... and I think you need to as well."

"Freyr, please don't." he said, the tears rolling down his cheeks. I walked forwards now and kissed him for a moment, then told him. "I'll see you soon. Behave for Godric for once."

I turned away now and left, leaving him stood there looking lost for the first time.
