I was in Atlanta now with Dorian now, and I liked the place very much. It was a calming place for me, and when I arrived at the mansion where the King had once resided before being killed, I was expected and the doors were opened for me.

"Ah, Miss. Eden?" the black haired vampire said, and I nodded. "I am." he nodded, then went inside, leading me in.

"Please wait here, I'll inform the King that you are here." he said, and I frowned. "But I thought he was dead-?"

The vampire nodded. "Yes, but the Sheriff of our area has taken over for now until such time someone else is found."

That made sense, thank goodness.

I waited, but just a minuet or two after, the acting King came out and I had to blink twice- he was tall with brown-blonde curls and deep dark blue eyes.

"Ah, Miss. Freya Eden. Dorian. Welcome." he said, and I heard a French accent to his voice- he was very good looking. He took my hand now and pressed his lips to my hand. "Enchantee to meet you. I am Sebastian de Mauvais. Sheriff of this area, and acting King."

I smiled. "Enchanted. How may I help?"

"No no Cherie, it's I who can help you." Sebastian told me, leading me into the dining room and sat me down on a chair. "You are here concerning the death of my maker Riley Halder?"

"I am." I confirmed, and he nodded. "There was a group of humans very much aware of our presence. Our King was tied with silver chains and tortured before meeting the sun."

"Meet the sun-?" Dorian asked, and Sebastian sighed. "He was staked to a cross, then left out in the sun." there was a tear of blood trickling down his cheek now, and I knew how he felt- if it had been Godric... I wouldn't have stopped crying for a hundred years.

"Which makes me think it's these humans that follow God." Sebastian said now, and I nodded. "Has there been clues?"

"A few, but they fled after killing my maker." he said, then sighed. "I'm afraid you have wasted your time coming here, there is nothing left. They fled to Texas where your maker went. I'm sorry for being such a pain."

Dorian now spoke. "We need to wait for Godrics word on where to go."

I nodded, adding. "That'll be a day or two." Sebastian smiled at that. "We have accommodations already made up for you both."

I was taken aback by that, then smiled. "Thank you. You're very kind."

"Non non, it is my pleasure mademoiselle." Sebastian told me, and then indicated to come into another room.

We were given the tour of the mansion now, and it was the most beautiful place I'd ever been- just magnificent.

Time seemed to fly by at Sebastians home, and I noticed he kept a close eye on me, and I knew why- it was a look I had seen from Eric many, many years before.

Great (!)

When Godrics note came, it was three days.

The man told us now that Godric had managed to gain control of the vampires and I was to come over and help with the organization he had tracked down.

Before we left that next sundown, Sebastian took my hands in his and said. "Freya, you must promise me that you will visit again."

I smiled and nodded. "I shall." and he kissed me on the cheek.

Nice guy for a five hundred year old French vampire.

When we reached Dallas in Texas, I felt the air that was alot darker, like something was lurking in the shadows. The place where Godric was, were big and majestic, and a black haired woman opened the door for me and asked. "Freya and Dorian?" she asked, and I nodded, and she let us in going. "I am Isabel, Godric told me you were coming soon enough. Eric should be here in the next hour."

"Thank you." I smiled, walking through and found Godric stood in the drawing room, staring out the window into the night.

"Good evening Freyr." he said, then turned and let me hug him for a moment, chuckling. "It has only been a week my child."

"I know, but I miss you." I admitted, and he smiled. "Thank you."

There were footsteps now, then a dark haired man walked in and said in a Texan accent like Isabels. "Sheriff, the others have returned. They bought the humans responsible."

"Sheriff?" I chuckled now, and Godric sighed, closing his eyes for a second. "I have decided to stay as Sheriff for a while."

Yeah, I knew that look- he was going to stay as Sheriff here in Texas to keep the order going. But for now, he walked into the other room and I followed, seeing six men being held by vampires who looked as if they wanted to bite into them, but now Godric said. "Who is the leader?"

"Here-" one of them said, throwing him forwards onto the floor and he scrambled to his feet, backing off with fear in his eyes. "No, this is-!"

Godric walked forwards and said in a dark voice. "Why are you organizing this cult to attack us?"

"You are all monsters." he snarled, and Godric sighed deeply- but he should have been used to it by now. "How are we monsters?" he asked, and the man said in a laugh. "You are abominations to God! You should all be burned like that one in Atlanta!"

I flinched at that- Sebastians maker. The one they had ritualistically sacrificed. Sad bastards...

I walked out now and went into the garden, folding my arms and staring into the pond. Would it always be like this-? Hated by everyone-? All of Humanity didn't even know we existed yet, but if they did know, what would they do? Would they eradicate us all? Or would we co-exist like Godric had always hoped for?

I was thinking the first one... Humanity was growing more brutal by the year...

"Freya?"

I turned now and that vampire named Isabel walked forwards and said. "Are you ok?" I nodded and smiled. "Yes thank you. How long have you been in Texas?"

"Oh, too long." she sighed, then said. "Godric's made a change to this place already. All these years... and a week and there's order."

"Yeah, he's good like that." I smiled, then she asked. "You must love him very much."

I chuckled at that, then nodded. "He's my maker."

Isabel didn't mean it in that way, and I wasn't sure of the answer myself.

"Do you think Godric could stay?" she asked me now, and I wondered myself and replied. "I actually hope he does. It's about time he stopped wandering around after almost two thousand years."

"I like him. He has different views to all the other vampires." she smiled now, and I chuckled. "I know. He tries, but I just wish he'd settle down. Maybe Dallas would be a good place."

Isabel was quiet, then she patted my arm. "He's welcomed to be Sheriff. People respect him, and Dallas needs someone like that."

There were heated voices from inside, and I soon got the gist from listening- Godric had been working on the followers, making them all disband with no memory of the house or the anti-vampire cult. He did it to them all, and the leader was given an extra one to make them all disband.

The crisis was over, and seemed to be more calm than it had been in years.

I went inside now and Eric had arrived, standing next to Godric as if he was his guard. He looked to me now, and I knew then he always love me... but I was feeling empty. I didn't feel like that with him anymore.

I'd felt so lonely lately, but my mind was so full. I had to get out of here... now.

Godric saw the bloodied tears in my eyes, then walked over as the situation was diffused a moment ago. Eric stayed back as his maker came over and asked.

"What's wrong Freyr?"

I sighed and shook my head. "Just... I think I need to leave again."

"Why?" he just asked, and I groaned, closing my eyes. "You know me. I'm antisocial."

"Far from it." he laughed, but I said back to him. "It's 1890, and things are changing. I just feel the need to run off again."

"No. Not this time." Godric told me and I just said. "You have something here. Isabel wants you to stay. You could be a great Sheriff."

"You think so?" he chuckled now, then walked outside with me as I said. "Mmhmm. I know you."

Godric stopped now and said with a chuckle. "You know me? How so?"

"Um..." I started, but couldn't really think of anything else. "My child you do say some strange things." he chuckled, taking my face in his hands. I smiled but then found myself frowning as he leaned forwards, hesitating for a moment before kissing me softly for a moment, but not before I pushed him away and hissed.

"What the hell are you doing-!"

Godric sighed in defeat now and nodded. "I know. I'm sorry." but I was curious, and had to ask. "Really?"

He nodded. "Yes. For quite a while too."

"You idiot."

"I know." he said now, looking down. "Can you forgive me?"

Why did he have to do this-? First I try to deal with this situation with Eric... then our maker admits that he has feelings for me-?

God... this was too much for a girl of eight hundred and ninety to deal with.

"Of course I do, but Godric-"

"I know." he just told me, looking more or less like a little boy. I groaned and put my forehead against his shoulder. "Godric... you're supposed to be solving situations... not making new ones."

He sighed and hugged me briefly. "If you want to leave again, I won't stop you. But I think you should forgive Eric. He has his faults, his flaws... but you know he means well."

"Maybe." I sighed, then turned away and left him stood outside while I went back inside the house. I saw Eric now and wondered- did he know of what just happened outside? I hoped not.

"Why didn't you kiss him back?" he asked me quietly now as I stopped before him, and I groaned, closing my eyes for a second- he had seen. "Because he's not you Eric." I said as quiet as him, going to walk past, but he held up an arm and stopped me dead, saying. "Almost three hundred years now Freyr... and you're still angry at me?"

"Girls are good at holding grudges." I told him now, pushing past and he let me go.

Maybe Godric was right... maybe I should just forgive him.

Nah, that'd be too easy for him.

I went over to Dorian now and took him to the side, telling him.

"I'm leaving for a while."

"Where are we going?" he asked, and I sighed. "No we... just I."

"Freyr-"

"I'm sorry. But I'd like you to stay with Godric while I'm away."

Dorian looked heartbroken now, then shook his head. "No. I'm not leaving you."

"As your maker... I command and release you." I told him with a heavy heart, and he had tears in his eyes. "But we're inseparable. Frey, please don't."

It was breaking my own heart to do this, but I had to- when me, Eric and Godric were together, trouble came up that made us all argue. Become more distant...

I left now before anyone else spotted me, then tried to stop me-

Maybe we all still needed to grow up just a tad more...

And the next for today. Hope you like and please review.
