The place where the vampires, including Sebastian, were in a warehouse just outside New Orleans, and I could hear the chatter of the humans inside and keeping guard.

They were all going to die soon enough. And if any of those vampires were dead... they would be tortured first no doubt.

Eric stopped next to me now and said quietly. "Everyone's in place. Dorian and the others are going through the back, we'll take the front, block their exits."

"Nasty."

"But brilliant." he smirked, then we both heard it clearly- the signal. Eric was gone in a flash, and I reluctantly followed. Inside, there were about thirteen humans surrounded by the Georgian vampires and us two- making us twenty in numbers.

Eric stepped forwards now and said. "Where are they?"

The older dark haired man in the middle just said. "We don't know what you mean." but he soon yelled as Eric picked him up by his throat and said again. "Where are they?"

"Dead."

Eric chuckled, then asked once more and I could tell he was resorting to mind tricks.

"In the back, the keys are in my pocket."

He was dropped to the floor now and Eric yanked the keys from the pocket, smirking as he said. "Are you the leader?"

"I don't respond to monsters of the night. Freak."

Eric raised an eyebrow at that, and I could tell he didn't like being called a freak one bit, for he said coldly. "What is your name?"

"John Newlin."

"Ok then John Newlin, this is what's going to happen; you and your friends are going to die."

"You may kill me, but my son and grandson will take over from me." he said in a hiss, and I had to admire his determination in the face of Eric snarling at him, fangs out. But now Eric scoffed and said. "You humans piss me off so much-" then rammed a hand through his chest, then yanked it out and let John drop, looking disgusted at the now scarlet arm of his long sleeved grey shirt.

The other humans screamed now, then I heard Dorian say. "No biting- that'd be too obvious."

God... was this the same Dorian I had bought up-? I didn't think so...

Eric walked forwards now towards the back, not paying any attention to the pandemonium that was going around him, and I followed to the back where we broke our way inside and were faced with four vampires that were being held up from the rafters by their wrists, the silver chains burning into their skin, all unconscious.

One of them was Sebastian.

I spotted the end of the chain now and picked up a hammer from the toolbox next to the door and hit it, making all four drop to the floor with a crash. We yanked the silver of them as fast as we could, hissing as it burnt our hands, but they soon healed up.

"Hey, Seb-" I said now, and he groaned, opening his eyes. "Freya? Is that you?"

"The one and only." I chuckled, then helped him to his feet as he said. "Please say you're here for the offer- I've had enough."

"Sorry." I laughed, then he groaned. "They've been draining me. I can't feel my feet..." he sat down on the floor and I suddenly realized what he meant- draining his blood. But why would humans want our blood? Surely the ones that did know of our existence weren't drinking our blood-?

He confirmed my suspicions by saying. "They're more vampire than us-" Sebastian nodded to the table, and I saw syringes of a red substance. His blood.

"This one's dead." Eric said now, and I looked over to see a blonde haired vampire, pale and dead. Sebastian groaned, then sighed. "More and more people know of our existence. They won't be able to hide the truth soon, I assure you."

Eric crouched down before Sebastian now and asked. "Can you walk?"

He nodded, then yanked himself to his feet and said in a mutter something in French that I recognized- "I need a fucking drink."

We set the place alight before we left, and I think Dorian could tell I wasn't happy with him being so very ruthless like that. We could have just changed their thoughts like Godric did that time... not murder and arson. God these vampires were getting more and more dangerous as time went by.

How the hell were we supposed to live with humans if we were like this-?

I was feeling so depressed as we drove back towards Shreveport, the silence between me and Eric saying everything. When we got back, I stayed in the drivers seat and said quietly. "I'm heading to Dallas."

He scowled at that. "But-? You've only been back a few days."

"I need to talk to Godric." I just said now, and he just snapped. "Running away again?"

"No, I'll be back. I promise. I just... need to talk to him."

Eric slammed the car door shut now, and I realized what he was thinking.

"I'm not going off to sleep with him-! Jeez..."

"Whatever. See you whenever."

"Eric-"

But he was already gone, and I groaned- he needed to keep a better hold of those emotions of his.

I just left now... the only thing I could do.

It was nearly dawn when I finally arrived in Dallas, and Isabel rushed out as I got out the car and said. "Freya-! What are you doing here-? And so late. It's dawn in half an hour."

I sighed and just said quietly. "I need to see Godric."

"Freyr?"

There were footsteps, then I looked past Isabel and saw him, and he let me walk forwards and hug him as I said. "Sorry I'm so late. I needed to see you."

He was silent, but then glanced up at the lightening sky and sighed. "Come on, inside."

A minuet later, I was sat on his bed as he closed the suntight door behind him, going. "You seem stressed, and I smell blood on you. What's happened?"

I told him now what had happened with Sebastian... and how I just couldn't stand these vampires anymore.

Godric listened in total silence, and when I finished, he groaned and said. "My child... are you ok?"

"Yes, but Eric has just gone all bloodthirsty, Dorian too. It breaks my heart."

I let him pull me into his arms now and hug me, then he sighed. "But why did you come to me?"

"Because I knew you would understand." I just said, and he said into my hair. "I'm humbled that you think that. But... how can I help?"

"Just... I don't know. Aren't you angry that we did all that? Killed those humans?"

Godric groaned into my hair now, then said quietly. "Did you kill any of them?"

"No I didn't."

"Then I'm not angry at you." he smiled now, and I found it impossible- he never got angry these days, and that was why I found his presence calming. "Thank you." I told him, and he asked after a moment. "Have you and Eric made up?"

"We have." I chuckled, and his smile grew like it always did when he saw me. "Good. You both belong together." he told me, and I sighed, lying back on the bed.

"Being a vampire... it plays havoc with your head. These humans were drinking Sebastians blood. Just... why-?"

"To humans, vampire blood is like a drug."

That got my attention, and I frowned. "You've heard of this-?"

Godric nodded, then told me. "To humans, vampire blood offers healing, heightened senses, and the drinker experiences a rather strong sexual attraction to the vampire."

"Oh. Lovely." I chuckled now, thinking about the last fact- no wonder when I had drank Erics blood that I wanted to jump him. Even more so when it had been Godric. Maybe the older the vampire, the more potant the blood.

"It's wrong to let humans drink our blood." he said now, and I nodded. "I agree. Have you ever let a human drink your blood?"

"Three times." he just said, and I raised an eyebrow. "Were they pretty?"

"One of them was a man, but yes. The woman was rather beautiful. She still is." that growing grin made me groan in realization, and I felt like slapping myself in the face- me and Eric. When he had changed us.

"Changing two people at once was a rather suicidal choice." he chuckled now, and I frowned, making him add. "The amount of blood you both needed to finalize was nearly all I had. Anymore and you would have both drained me dry."

I felt guilty at that now, and he just said, putting a finger under my chin and lifted it up. "I don't regret it. I've made so many stupid choices during my two thousand years, but you and Eric weren't one of them."

But now as he finished, I asked. "What about the other one who drank your blood?"

"Oh, that was the other night. Don't you remember?" he was smirking now, and I rolled my eyes. "I was trying to forget. Eric found out... he wasn't happy."

"I'd imagine so." he sighed in defeat, then I had to ask. "But... why did you let me drink your blood?"

"Because it's also a sign of love between vampires, but I've never found anyone else to share that with."

"Godric."

"I'm sorry." he apologized, then sighed. "It's late. The sun rose a while ago. We should sleep."

I smiled and nodded, letting him yank the covers over us and let him hug me.

He was kidding himself if he thought he could convince me that he didn't anymore. I could see it in his eyes...

Yeah, he still loved me.

Great... just great...

Wait until Eric found that fact out.

The evening seemed to come around rather fast, and when I walked into the main room, Godric wasn't there, and when I asked Stan, he told me he was on the roof.

Wait- what-?

I walked outside now and saw him sat on top, so I jumped up and walked over, joining him.

"Why are you on the roof?" I asked in a chuckle now, and he just replied, looking up. "I like the stars. They've hardly changed over two thousand years, but everything else under them have."

"They're pretty." I admitted, looking up as well at the explosion of stars across the sky. "Do you know their names?" I asked him now, and he nodded. "Each and every one. Just think... thousands, millions of burning little stars."

We were both silent, then he asked. "Do you believe there's life out there?"

I thought for a moment, then nodded. "I do. We've lived for this long... I do think it's possible."

"I agree." Godric nodded.

We just sat there for a good few hours staring up at the stars as a maker and his progeny.

Next soon and reviews much loved thanks.
