The next evening, I woke up a little later than I planned to, and just lay there for a moment, staring at the black and white photo from so very long ago on the wall. It was of me, Eric and Godric.

Our maker did miss us. And I knew that well.

I could hear voices in the main room, so I swiftly got dressed and went in to them.

Eric had arrived, and it was him I went straight over to, making everyone present feel awkward no doubt when I kissed him for a moment. But oh well- this man, this vampire was my fiance. I could kiss him if I wanted to.

I now looked to the others- Sookie had arrived with Billy-bob too. Yeah, Bill. That little vamp who thought himself important enough to threaten me.

Good luck prick.

They'd been arguing, I could tell. And now as they continued, I cottoned on- Sookie and Isabels human Hugo were going to infiltrate the Fellowship.

Was Godric really there-?

What if they had hurt him-? No... I refused to believe they could do that, or that he could be dead.

He wasn't stupid.

When we broke away, I pulled Eric to the side and asked quietly. "I know you. Calm down."

He sighed, then just pulled me into his arms, putting his chin atop my head, no doubt closing his eyes as he told me. "I know. But... all these years I never wanted to go and see him... what if it's too late?"

I snarled at that, my fangs shooting out, and I didn't care.

"Eric fucking Northman-! You get your damned act together! Godric is fine, I know that. If he was truly in danger... we would have felt it. You know that as well as I do. We are a thousand years old, sweetie. We are not stupid either..." I just sighed at the end of my rant, putting a hand on his cheek, adding softly. "Have faith, hmm?"

He raised a hand of his own and put it atop the one I had on his cheek, meeting my eyes at last as he sighed. "I know."

God... why didn't I stay with Godric longer? What if all this was my fault? What if me being here could have stopped it...

It was when Eric left that Sookie stepped forwards, going.

"You shouldn't blame yourself."

Great (!) She'd been in my head again...

"Stay out of my head." I next to snapped, and she paused, but then just said. "I saw how much you care about him. I've seen how much you care about Eric too... Don't blame yourself. Godric knows that-"

"You don't even know him!"

"But from your thoughts... I can see that-"

I just growled at that, hissing as I grabbed her. "Shut up and stay out my head."

I felt someone yank me backwards now, making me let go of her, and a new growl. "Get off her-!"

At that, I got up from the floor to glare at Bill, rage coursing through me as I snarled back. "Big mistake Billy." We pretty much sized each other up, and we both knew who would win a fight- me. But at least eight hundred years.

It was only when I glanced at Eric and saw him with a raised eyebrow that I thought-

He really wouldn't mind me tearing him apart.

He stepped forwards and just said to me. "Freyr... you're a lover, not a fighter. Calm down."

I snarled and just left the room, sending Billy-bob a filthy look as I passed.

Outside Godrics place, I stood leaning against the side of the house, eyes closed.

"What a temper you have."

I sighed lightly, my eyes still closed at that, feeling lips touch my forehead, then I replied. "You know me."

"Indeed I do. My little Freyr."

I let him kiss me once more, then just said. "Let Sookie go in the church. I want Godric back. Fuck her and Billy."

Eric rolled his eyes, then told me. "This isn't you Frey."

"I don't care. I want Godric back. I-" I just stopped dead, and he said in defeat. "You love him?"

I was silent, then groaned. "Of course I love him, Eric. He's our maker."

"And I know for a fact that he loves you."

I groaned and shook my head, eyes closed once more. "Maybe so... but I love you, Eric. You know that as well as I do. Godric... I do love him, just not in the way he does me."

Eric sighed into my hair, saying. "What a messed up bunch we are."

"You're not mad are you?"

"...Frey, it was my jealousy all those years ago that kept making you run away, and I don't intend on losing you again."

I chuckled at that, shaking my head. "You're going soft, O' mighty Viking."

He growled at that.

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

Well, everything went accordingly to plan I suppose.

Until Sookie-kins and Hugo got caught of course. Not that I cared. Sookie thought she knew the ancient vampire that loved me... but she was doing that through my thoughts alone.

Why did I have to be part Siren-! Jeez...

"I don't think the others are going to let that Fellowship get away with it any longer."

"Hmm, I think so too."

Yeah, against all odds, me and Eric were in bed together, next to all our clothes on the floor at the bottom of it with the covers, kissing each other hungrily, knowing full well that if there was any news, we would be first to hear. It was just a case of waiting around now until the moment we stormed in.

As he kissed my neck, I just said. "Do you think that-?" But it didn't last long as he went to my lips, silencing me instantly.

"Seriously, I doubt at times that you're a vampire." He told me, running a finger lightly down my chest, and I rolled my eyes, retorting. "Not all of us are heartless bastards like yourself."

"Mmmn, but I like being a heartless bastard." Was his answer, kissing me hungrily once more, pulling me close so our bare chests were touching.

I was glad our feuds of the past were over, but no doubt new ones would spring up in the future, testing the relationship we had.

"Eric? Freya?"

There was a knock on the locked bedroom door... Godrics room that was, and I pushed Eric away a little with a hand to hear Stan-

"We're going in. Come on."

That was all we needed to hear, and two seconds later, we were both dressed and ready to storm the place.

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

Me and Eric split up when we reached the place that was on high alert, and I let out a low snarl as I looked at the church- how could they do this to him-?

I heard that pathetic little scream from the lower sections of the place, then a snap that meant a neck had been no doubt twisted around. Lovely (!)

But that was also all I needed to hear as I went down in a flash, facing a closed door that I kicked open.

"Oh thank God..." I just said as I saw him, dashing forwards and not caring one bit as I threw my arms around him, hugging him tightly as I said.

"Never do that to me again, you hear me?"

He held me for a moment, then chuckled lightly. "Yes Mother (!)"

There was a light woosh of wind from behind, and I knew Eric had arrived.

The alarm went off before we could speak, and I heard our maker say to him. "Get her out. The others too."

Eric complained, and I looked to Godric, saying as they vanished. "You could have broken out dead easy. Why-?" I trailed off, then shook my head. "What were you thinking-?"

"Frey-"

It wasn't everyday that you slapped a two thousand year old vampire, and he took it with good grace, nodding. "I know my love. Now, come-" he held out his hand for me to take, and of course I did. I always would.

It was as we made our way to the main room, Godric muttered, more to himself than me. "Eric..."

I frowned, then realized something was wrong.

I flashed ahead to the main room where my growl echoed through the hall, and everyone fell silent as myself and Godric made our arrival known.

"Calm down." He told me quietly before starting to speak to the people. Now I saw Eric with silver chains on, but not for long as Sookie took them off. I stayed at the top, watching the proceedings below with my maker, then when he vanished down, I went too.

When it was all over and I left with him, leaving Eric behind for a little while, I had one thing on my mind concerning Godric-

I wasn't losing him again.

And the next little one before I go out for the night! Woohoo! Happy New Year y'all! Glad you're all still reading! Thanks for the lovely reviews and more much loved! x Nic
