The next evening, I woke up alone and could hear Eric snapping and snarling away at some vampire who had come to see him, no doubt to ask for help or something.

I got dressed now and brushed my hair through, walking up to the main room where I was faced with him talking, well, arguing with a vampire. But now as Eric saw me, he said to the other vampire. "We're done. Your request is denied. Get out."

The vampire glared at him, but then left, slamming the door behind him.

"What's going on?" I asked suspiciously now, and he sighed. "Sheriff business, doesn't matter." I raised an eyebrow at that, but he didn't elaborate. "Fine." I just said, turning away, but he grabbed my arm and spun me round.

"Are you annoyed?"

"I am." was my answer, and he rolled his eyes. "Why?"

"You're keeping secrets, and you know I don't like that... and we're supposed to be together."

Eric sighed, then put his hands on my shoulders. "Just... trust me on this one."

"Mmhmm."

He put his arms around me now and cocked his head. "What do you want to do today?"

I scoffed at that, looking up at him. "What's gotten into you?"

"I care about you. Is that so hard to believe?"

"With you, yes." was my answer, then he leaned down and just kissed me for a moment, then there was a-

"Oh lovely (!) That's enough to put you off breakfast."

Eric sighed now, then said against my lips. "Don't look then."

"Hard not to." Pam said in a disgusted voice that made me smirk at her. She was stood with a raised eyebrow at us both, then added. "Either get a room, or get busy."

"Hmm... see you tomorrow." Eric said now, and I scoffed, pulling away- yeah, he probably wasn't joking either. Pam was gone now, and I didn't blame her, for she was going to end up hissing around no doubt.

"I'm off out tonight actually." I told him now, and he just listened as I added. "I'm going to Georgia. I've not heard from Dorian or Sebastian for a little while."

"You worry too much." he told me quietly, and I chuckled in agreement. He had that right, I did. "But yes, fine. If you leave now, you should be there at one." He kissed me for a moment, then I turned and left.

I arrived a little later than one, and I found Sebastians massive chateau like mansion in the same place as usual in Atlanta, but this time with a few differences; the wrought iron gates were closed, and there was a pair of vampires acting as guard before them. I stopped before them now and got out. One of them said.

"Who are you?"

"My name's Freyr. I'm here to see the King."

There was a silence, then he said into his radio. "There's a Freyr here."

Wow. He'd really ramped up the security. What was wrong with this place-?

Oh yeah, the Great Revelation...

There was a crackle on the radio, then he nodded. "Go ahead. No one will stop you." I nodded too, then I got back in my car and waited until the gates fully opened, then I drove forwards towards the mansion and parked up, getting out and walking up to the door, but it was opened for me and I walked in, and the woman inside nodded to a door and I walked through and was pleasantly surprised to see Sebastian sat on the sofa, and Godric was sat opposite, looking like I did.

Sebastian smiled now at my entrance, then got up and pulled me into his arms, kissing each cheek twice and saying in that lovely French accent of his.

"Freya mon cherie! I have missed you."

I smiled and hugged him back, then I turned to his guest and said. "Hello old man."

Godric got up now and hugged me too, chuckling. "Hello my love. This is a pleasant surprise."

"Likewise." I smiled and sat down next to him as Sebastian sat down and asked me. "What brings you here Belle?"

"I was worried about you and Dorian. Actually, is Dorian here?"

Sebastian sighed, then Godric glanced at me, indicating to me that he knew as well. "He left." Sebastian told me now. "He left with Bianca a while ago... and we've heard nothing from him."

I felt horrified now, and I asked hurriedly. "You-? Let him leave-?"

"Cherie... he just left. I have non idea where he is. I'm sorry."

There were tears in my eyes now, and Sebastian gave me a box of tissues to wipe the blood away with. "I just... what was he thinking-?"

Godric sighed, then put his arm around me, pulling me into a hug. "He'll be ok. You raised him well."

"I did?"

"You did." he assured me with a smile and I managed a small one myself. Sebastian now asked me playfully. "So- are you here to take up that offer of being Queen?"

I chuckled at that, then shook my head. "Sorry, I'm not. I came over wondering how you were after that draining incident."

Sebastian looked downcast at my refusal, then said. "I'm perfectly fine now merci."

"Ah, excellante." I smiled, then he asked. "How is Eric?"

"Oh, the usual."

"Arguing?"

"No for once. We're better than ever."

Godric spoke now. "After five hundred years... all I can say is- finally."

Sebastian laughed at that, then said. "All you have to do now is get married."

I spluttered at that, but then Sebastian laughed and made me roll my eyes- that joker never changed. I looked to Godric now, and I saw a strange look upon his face for a second, then it was gone as he said. "We haven't got the rights, and, forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't you both engaged when I changed you?"

"Oh, we weren't. We had been discussing it though. God... it's weird thinking about my human life."

Sebastian frowned, then asked. "How old are you exactly?"

Godric was the one that spoke. "Freyr here is just over a thousand years old." Sebastian didn't think I was quite that old, for he gaped. "I... Really that old-?"

I nodded. "Why? How old did you think I was?"

"...younger than that by miles. More like four hundred."

A scoff escaped me at that, and he asked. "Have I offended you? I apologize."

Godric thought it quite amusing at that, then stood up and said. "I must be leaving. It was a pleasure seeing you Sebastian. I shall have the word put out." he now turned to me and said. "Will you visit?"

"Of course." I smiled, hugging him for a moment. He left now and I felt kinda depressed- my maker was a good man... And I did miss him sometimes. Actually, more than that sometimes.

Sebastian now chuckled. "Hmm... I sense tension."

"Huh?"

He shook his head at me now. "Oh, never mind."

"What? Tell me."

"No, doesn't matter."

"Seb."

He rolled his eyes, then said. "I just get the feeling that your maker... has feelings for you."

"I know." was my defeated answer, and he frowned. "You did-?"

"Mmhmm. I know. But... we know it's never going to happen, because I've loved Eric for over a thousand years. And I always will."

Sebastian looked surprised, then just said. "My, my... you're more th-"

"Seb, I'm not discussing this anymore. I love Eric, Godric knows that."

"Sorry." he apologized, then sighed, looking to the window. "Are you staying? I doubt you could make it back to Shreveport before dawn."

"I guess." I sighed, then plonked myself back down onto the sofa and closed my eyes-

Where the hell was Dorian-?

I spent the evening in Sebastians company, and he was a good laugh now he knew he had no chance in hell of getting in my pants. I was actually rather sad to leave him.

When I returned to Shreveport, no one was awake yet, and the sun had just literally set when I headed off. I went into the bathroom now and closed the door behind me, turning on the water in the massive bathtub, adding in some silky bubblebath. I stripped down now and got in, sitting back and closed my eyes. Eric did like his luxuries, and I wasn't complaining one bit.

But I did hear something now, then opened an eye to see a certain person sat opposite me.

"Good morning." I said now, chuckling a little. Eric now said with a smirk. "Look at what I've found in my bath."

"I know right." I said smugly, then sat up and so did he. "How was your visit?"

"Rather fun. Godric was there too."

"Oh."

I scowled now and understood. "Eric, stop feeling so jealous." I leaned forwards and kissed him softly for a moment, saying quietly. "I love you. How can you keep thinking this?"

He didn't say anything for a start, but merely raised a hand to my damp cheek, then lent forwards and kissed me passionately for a moment, letting a finger trace down my spine, making me shiver a little and making him chuckle a little against my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck now, kissing him as hungrily as I could, pressing into his chest and pushing him back so I could put a leg either side of his hips.

"Someone's in a good mood." he told me now, holding me back as I tried to kiss him again. "And?" I smirked, running a hand up his chest and back round his neck. "You never usually complain." I added now, kissing his neck, but he just said.

"What are you after?"

Now that made me scoff, and I said with a chuckle. "Nothing actually. Can't I get it on with my boyfriend without him feeling suspicious?"

"As much as I enjoy time with you, yes. You're usually after something."

"You're so lovely (!)"

"Oh I know." he smirked, pulling me to him, hoisting me back onto his lap and making me moan into his neck in the process. Eric bit into my own now, kissing me and I could taste my own blood on his lips, and I realized what he meant by my blood being much sweeter than usual. It was strange, how could that have happened? He went back to my neck now and bit down in a different place, taking more blood than he should have done, and I went to pull away, he grabbed my arms and growled, so I pushed hard and winced when there was a tear of fangs from skin.

"What the hell are you doing-!" I demanded now, almost glaring. Eric frowned, then raised a hand to his mouth and frowned even more as he saw the blood there.

"Umm..." he just said, and I raised an eyebrow. "What? What is it?"

Eric was silent, then said. "Sorry, I just lost myself then."

My eyebrow was going up further and that confused look upon his face wasn't like him at all. He backed off now and got out, yanking his clothes back on.

"Eric?" I said now, confused as I got out, reaching for him, but he suddenly coughed and I stopped dead as he lowered his hand and I saw blood on it. He sat down on the side of the bath now and said. "What's happening to me-?"

What the hell-? Was it my blood?

He sat down on the floor now with his back against it, then said. "What are you-?"

What did he mean by that?

"Are you ok?" I asked him now, kneeling before him. Eric shook his head, eyes closed. I sighed and got dressed, opening the door and got Pam to help him out and onto his bed.

"What the hell did you do to him?" She asked me now, dumping him onto the bed with my help. I shook my head. "He drank my blood, then..." I waved a hand at him and she raised an eyebrow. "Oh. That it?"

"That it-! I feel like shit!"

Eric was snarling now at her words and I was confused. "What do I do?" I asked him now, and he shook his head. "Get me blood. Now."

Pam was out in a flash, and I said quietly. "What happened?"

He looked to me now and just said as quiet as I did. "I drank your blood and everything just went... weird for a moment. I feel sick... I really do."

I had another thing on my mind now, and I asked. "What am I?"

Eric looked to me now and shook his head. "I don't know."

We were both silent as Pam came back in with some blood that had been in the fridge... another one of Erics supplys no doubt. He drank it all down in one and sat up, more color in his face.

I just walked out now and into the main room, suddenly realizing that my hair was sopping wet and dripping onto the floor, but I didn't care-

Had that woman in my home village been right in calling me a demon? My blood had never affected him before... not even Godric that time.

What was I?

Last for tonight. Reviews much loved.
