A week later, and I could tell Eric was hiding something from me. He was always a shit liar when he did it to me.

And then he told me the one thing that would make my heart, if it was still beating, stop dead.

"Godric has gone missing."

My breath caught in my throat at that, and I gasped out.

"No... how is that-? I mean... how is that even possible-?"

Eric sighed heavily at the bloody tears in my eyes, then took my face in his hands, crouching down a little so he was my height. "We'll find him my love. I promise."

He kissed me lightly, pulling me into his arms and hugged me tightly. It was amazing how... human he could be at times.

I let him hold me in the middle of our bar for so long I lost track of time. But then Pam called-

"A little less hugging and more work."

Eric let me go, then said, annoyingly ruffling my hair. "We're leaving for Dallas in a few hours. You can handle everything while we're gone?"

Pam snorted at that, folding her arms. "I'm not an imbecile."

"Sometimes." I smirked, and she rolled her eyes. At least we were on better terms now anyway.

"Go and pack your things." Eric told me now, going behind the bar to grab his phone, sighing. "I have a few things to sort out first."

I nodded, and then he was gone.

When I had finished packing our bags. Yes, ours. Eric was a lazy bastard... unless it was being with him in bed... I waited outside the place, sat on his case. Where the hell was he? Did he want us to miss our flight-? Dumb ass.

Two beeps alerted me to his return in his Camero. What a dick.

"Anytime today (!)" I smirked, picking up the cases easily, shoving them into the boot before getting in next to him.

"What the hell are you wearing?" I had to scoff at the sunglasses he was wearing, looking dashing. As I went to nab them, he raised a hand and grabbed my wrist, taking me by surprise as he yanked me forwards, kissing me for a moment.

"Creep." I just muttered as he let me go, putting on my seat belt, looking up at the open roof- the night sky was full of stars. Beautiful.

He started the engine once more, then before he could react, I succeeded in nabbing the sunglasses and tossed them behind us as we drove off.

The trip to the airport took until nearly dawn, and I was already feeling sleepy long before I was given one of those horrid coffins. Urgh. I did have claustrophobia you could say when it came to them. That was probably why Eric had a double one ordered.

Maybe he did have a heart at times...

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

"Freyr?"

"Yes Eric?"

The main thing I could hear was the plane engine, but then the man told me-

"Still scared of coffins?"

I could barely see him, but a joy of being a vamp was you did have some vision in the dark. At his words, I rolled my eyes, then just replied. "I'm not scared."

"Is that because I'm in here or-?"

"Nah, you get on my nerves so much."

"If that's what you think... why did you agree to marry me?"

I shifted a little so I was facing him, then just said in a chuckle. "Because you are a possessive Viking."

"Now what's wring with that?" He asked me, not giving me time to reply as he kissed me.

I suppose that's what we spent our entire trip doing, our hands also roving shamelessly over each others body too. Oh well, it wasn't like anyone could see what we were doing. I didn't give a crap, and neither did Eric. Plus he was a rather good kisser, so that passed the time.

When we landed in Dallas, it felt so damn good to be able to stretch my legs once more.

There was a car waiting for us, and after our cases had been unloaded and shoved in the back, we got in. I never got the chance to drive when it came to flash cars and Eric. Bastard.

We headed to a hotel that was vampires and checked in.

"I see Mr Compton and Miss Stackhouse have checked in already." Eric told me as we got to our room, and I collapsed onto the bed, closing my eyes. I felt the bed go down, then lips back on my own as he leaned down on me.

I let him kiss me for a moment later, then sighed. "We need to go to Godrics place."

"I have some business to attend to."

"Ah, ok. I'll meet you there then tomorrow."

I received one more kiss, then I left, grabbing the car and heading off before the morning arrived.

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

As per usual, Isabel hugged me as I arrived, smiling into my shoulder.

"How are you?" She asked me with a smile, and my own grew as I raised my left hand, and her eyes widened at my ring, laughing and putting her hands together. "You're engaged-!"

"Indeed I am." I chuckled, and she smirked. "No more midnight activities with Godric then?"

"I seriously doubt Eric would approve of me sleeping with our maker now we're engaged." I laughed, then sighed heavily. "Where is he?"

Isabel sighed, then nodded inside. "Come-"

Inside, she told me.

"We don't know-"

"Of course we bloody do! That Fellowship took him!"

I never got chance to speak as Isabel snapped to Stan. "They could never take him! He's two thousand years old, Stan! He's too strong! And Godric isn't stupid!"

Stan just threw up his hands at that, leaving the room.

I groaned lightly, then shook my head as I said. "Godric... where are you?"

Isabel was silent, then nodded. "I know."

Tears wanted to escape my eyes, but I wouldn't let them come. This was Godric... I did love that man more than I let everyone onto. He was a sweet monster who had to be tamed, and I had helped him with it. Eric too... we were his children, himself our father and brother. I couldn't let these vampire hating bastards just kill him-! I loved him too much...

The rest of that night I spent with Isabel talking.

"So-! Godric told me on our last phonecall that you have a human now?"

Isabel chuckled, then nodded. "Yes, Hugo."

"N'aww, I'm happy for you."

She rolled her eyes, then looked out the window as we sat talking. "Thank you."

"You seem... conflicted?"

"Oh, just thinking... he's human."

"Will you turn him one day?"

She never answered that, but merely sighed heavily and just said. "So how are you and Eric?"

I could tell she was avoiding the question, so I let her as I answered. "Fine I'm guessing. Nothing new."

"Nothing new? You both have been together all your human life as well as vampire life! You must have a special bond from all that time, yes?"

At her words, I wondered, then chuckled.

"I spose' we do."

I slept in Godrics vacated and empty bed, his scent all over it, myself hugging a pillow, wishing it was him.

I sighed into the cream pillow, closing my eyes-

"Sweetheart... where are you?"
