I suppose I had never seen Godric in such a nice suit... well, since the 1800s anyway.
He sighed now, then I raised my hands and adjusted his tie, going. "Wow. You in a suit again."
"Don't get too used to it." He chuckled, stepping back and doing up his top button with a rather sour look. I pulled down my blood red dress that came to above my knees, sighing. "I'm really bloody sick of wearing such short clothes. Just because I'm a vampire doesn't mean I have to dress like a slut."
He actually snorted in laughter at that, and I reminded myself I was the only one who could truly make him laugh. I think he saw me as his sister, daughter... just family really. Close family, and after that argument of sorts with Eric he had had all those years ago, we were closer than ever. But... I did wonder if he still loved me. Especially after that night we had spent together not too long ago before I was back with Eric. But hey-
I was engaged now. No more running off into bed with my maker (!)
We left soon after, and when we got there, he told me quietly. "Just say you are with me if anyone asks. This meeting is very high security."
I nodded, feeling a little nervous as I walked beside him, my arm in his. Godric nodded to the man at the door as we walked in, and he was recognized, for they didn't stop us.
Inside the stately home, I stared around the place- it was rather beautiful with the period paintings and ceiling designs. Truly lovely and reminded me of my old London mansion... the one Pam got burned down.
I looked up ahead now and saw a young looking man sat at the head of a long mahogany table. He was very good looking, and I could tell from here that he wasn't as old as myself and Godric. Maybe in the regions of four hundred.
He stood up now and went. "Ah, Godric." Stepping forwards and stopped before us. Vampires never shook hands, but he did now, and Godric took it, going. "Your Majesty."
The King stared at me now, a charming smile upon his face as he took my own hand and pressed his lips to it, going. "And who may this lovely lady be?"
"This is Freya." Godric just said, and the King flashed me another smile. "A pleasure to be in your presence my Lady. Call me Cain."
I smiled, then he noticed the ring on my hand and went. "Aha- I spy a ring on your finger. May I ask who you are engaged to?"
Godric spoke now. "Eric Northman."
Cains eyes didn't leave mine, then his smile widened. "Your connection to this lovely girl, Sheriff?"
"She is my child." Godric just said and Cain grinned, looking to his Sheriff. "You failed to mention you have two creations." He looked to me and said. "How did you and Eric meet?"
I paused, but I felt Godric give the the feeling that it was ok, and I said. "We were human children when we met."
Cain let go of my hand and just said, laughing. "Oh! A thousand year old love story. I love this. When the marriage bill is passed, am I maybe invited to the wedding?"
This was a strange vampire. I saw what Godric meant now by him. Harmless... but abnormal at times.
"It would be an honor to have your presence there." I said dutifully, knowing better than to piss of a King. And a Texan King-? Hell no.
"Now my lovely, could you please join the other escorts in the day room? You should find it comfortable, and our meeting is about to begin."
I nodded and permitted him to kiss my hand again, turning away after glancing at Godric once more.
The day room was easy to find, and I wasn't the only one. There was about six more vampires in there, and another followed me in. I sat down next to the open door, staring out of it at the crescent moon- what was Eric up to? I missed him... It didn't matter if it was just five minuets, but I did. I just wanted a hug and a kiss.
I was approached now by a vampire with a notebook, who then asked. "Your Sheriffs name?"
"Godric." I answered, and he scribbled down something, then he asked. "Connection?"
"He's my maker."
The vampire left without another word, and I sighed, looking back to the outside world.
"Excuse me?"
I looked around now and faced a petite young woman with honey blonde hair and deep blue eyes. She was beautiful.
"Yes?" I asked, then she just said, rather urgently it seemed. "May we talk outside? Privately?"
There was something about her, and I got up cautiously, walking outside until we were out of ear range and she turned to me, saying. "Freyr right?"
I was seemingly frozen on the spot, but then I said cautiously. "Why are you asking? Who are you?"
She grabbed my wrist now, and before I could push her away, I felt something... A connection.
Then I realized.
"Yes." She smiled. "I'm one too."
"You're a Siren?"
She nodded, then just said. "My name is Leah."
I'd never really met a Siren who had seeked me out, and she just said. "The one killing us is in your area."
"What-?" I was confused, and she sighed. "You have to open your mind more. Allow that other side of you to come out."
I was silent, then just asked quietly. "Who are you."
A silence, then-
"Someone who can help. But needs your help first."
"Help with what?"
"Someone is killing us. We've no idea who... but we have a tip that he's in your Sheriffs area at the moment." Leah explained and I frowned. "How... can I even know who it is?"
Leahs head snapped to the left now, as if someone had called her name, and she just glanced at me, then just ran off, vanishing into the night. I stood there, wondering what the hell had just happened.
Sirens...
I was one, but still didn't know what exactly that meant.
When I returned to the mansion, the meeting was over it seemed. Just about an hour long, and Godric was waiting for me. He must have sensed something had happened while he was in there, for he asked. "What happened?"
I knew there was prying ears and shook my head, my eyes flickering to the other vampires. He took the hint and we swiftly left.
We returned to his home now where he asked once more, and I just said. "Another Siren contacted me. Warned me that the one killing them is in Erics area... I think... he's one too. He's a Siren."
"But-? Bianca. She was killed by a vampire."
"Well maybe he's like me." I wondered, thinking about why would a Siren/vampire want Sirens dead. They were already nearing extinction.
"What's going on-?" I just said now and he sighed, hugging me and just said quietly. "I do not know... but I think you should return to Shreveport."
"Is everything ok with you?" I frowned now, and he chuckled, leaning forwards and kissing my forehead. "If you leave now, you'll be back in time."
Something was up, and I just asked again, but he just said. "I am fine. Now, return to Eric. I know you miss him."
He knew me too well, and I smiled a little, hugging him for a moment, then sighed. "I'll see you soon."
I missed him too.
He was right, of course, I got back before dawn and sneaked down to the bedroom, hoping to make him jump again, but I heard a chuckle through the darkness.
"I was expecting you back tomorrow."
"No girl in bed then?" I just said, yanking my dress off and walked through the darkness and slipped into bed, feeling him pull me close.
"How was things?" He asked me now and I hesitated, then decided not to tell him about Leah tonight.
"It was good. I think we have another King attending the wedding..."
"Excuse me?"
"The King of Texas took a shine to me. He wants to attend."
"And this other King?"
"Sebastian you dumb shit." I scoffed, climbing up onto his and searched for his lips, soon meeting them and kissing him for a minuet or two.
"Did you miss me?" He teased now, and I nodded, my lips on his, forgetting about my pride for tonight. "I did." I think we kissed for so very long, then I raised a hand to his hair and frowned, breaking away. "What have you done to your hair-?"
I was up in a flash and the lamp was turned on. When I turned back to him, I just gaped and shook my head. "What-the-fuck did you do to your hair-!"
He chuckled now and sat up, going. "Like it?"
"No! Where's the rest of it!"
"Chopped off."
"I can see that." I chuckled weakly, staring at his bedraggled from the pillow, but still new hair. It was so short... ohmygod...
"You look horrified." He told me now as I saw down before him, crossing my legs. I nodded, then replied. "I'm... I am horrified. That lovely long hair... you chopped it off-!"
"Well, technically, Pam did."
"I'm going to kill that little bitch for doing that." I snapped and he laughed, pinning me down in a flash, lips at my neck. A sigh escaped me now and I just said. "I suppose it looks nice..."
"You mean you're melting Miss Iceberg?"
"Pfft. NorthPoleMan."
He smirked, then I felt him kiss me once more and I wrapped my legs around his waist, an arm going around his neck and pulling him close. It had only been two days, but I had missed him awfully.
"Mmhmm, this is nice." He chuckled now, then I felt him pin my arms above my head and kissed up my stomach, biting with every kiss. He reached my neck now and bit into me, my Siren blood no doubt giving him a kick.
But he was learning, and let me go before he took enough to hurt me. Besides, I got my own back at bit into his collarbone area, feeling him unsnap my bra and throw it aside, pulling me into his chest and grinned. "Hmm, don't you taste good."
"Shut up or you're not going to score." I told him now, feeling him back at my neck.
He could be such a sweetie sometimes...
Well, I meant sometimes after all. He'd say anything to have sex with me... lovely guy (!) and this was my fiance as well.
Lucky me (!)
