That night, we got back to Godrics place, and I never left his side unless I needed to.

For now, I was in the kitchen, my hands on the sides as I looked out the window into the night. At that, arms slid around my waist, and I rolled my eyes. "If you pretend that you're trying to rape me again, I'll kick you in the balls."

"Huh. I never raped you."

I scoffed. "Nearly. Anyway, why aren't you with Godric?"

A silence, then he said to me, lips at my ear. "He told me to come and find you. He thought you might be lonely."

"I never get lonely." Was my answer, and he smirked into my neck. "Now I know that isn't true."

"Did he tell you that?"

"...guilty."

I rolled my eyes, then just pushed him away, going. "I'm heading over to Godric."

He let me go, and '29when I reached Godric, there was a line waiting to talk to him and offer their relief at his safety. But I was beckoned by him, and I went over, standing next to him. I recognized that smile on his face, then he put a hand on his lap, saying.

"Join me my child."

I didn't think that he was being serious for a start, but then I sat down on his lap, letting him kiss my forehead before turning back to the line.

Eric was watching us as I sat on my makers lap, thankful more than anyone that he was ok. I cared about him too much.

When the line was over, it was us left alone, and I asked him-

"Just... why did you do it-?"

Godric sighed, then raised a hand to my cheek, touching it gently for a moment, then smiled faintly. "You needn't trouble yourself my dear."

"I-"

"Hush, sweetie." He just told me, putting a finger over my lips, silencing me instantly. A silence, then he asked me. "Go and find Eric."

"Why?"

"Because he loves you, and I have no business in trying to pull you away from each other."

I didn't know what to say to that, so I just said quietly. "Godric..."

"Just go, Freyr."

I hugged him for a moment, closing my eyes, then left to find Eric.

I found him in the other room where Bill was next to threatening him, but when he saw me, he ceased with it and just left.

"Eurgh." I just said now, prodding his chest where he was wearing that vest once more. "I swear one of these days I'll grab those things and burn them all. You look so good in a t-shirt... stop acting like a butch gay and get some real clothes on."

After my mini rant, he raised an eyebrow, then leaned down, almost smirking as he said. "Or no clothes at all?"

"Not now."

"Why? I, ah, have no objections."

"Pfft I know. But, I don't want people thinking that I let you-"

"'Lay me anytime?'"

"Eric-!"

I gave up with him sometimes well and truly...

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

It was later that night that I was tidying up in the kitchen, ignoring Erics jokes on how women should stay in the kitchen, even vampire ones..

Arms crept around my waist once more, and I rolled my eyes, going. "Eric, off."

"Wrong on both."

I froze at that, then sighed. "Godric." He let me go, chuckling lightly. "Are you ok my dear? You seem... conflicted."

"Oh I'm fine. Just happy you're back safe and sound."

He was silent, then glanced to the bottle of Tru Blood I was drinking, asking. "To your taste?"

"Hmm, the real thing's much better. But... you know me."

"Indeed I do." He chuckled, then sighed, back in the other room in a flash as I heard a commotion. Bill was in some shit again.

When the shit was over, the vampire young in looks, not in years, returned, and I asked him. "You don't want to die... do you?"

There was a silence, and he was spared answering as someone called in the other room. He frowned, and I walked in with him.

A human was stood there, and he looked and sounded nervous. He started talking, and I frowned- what the hell-?

But the bomb and silver adorning his body was answer enough, and my eyes widened as he pressed the button.

The explosion rocked the air, and I was thrown backwards, everything going black...

I don't think it was long until I came around, but it hurt. It bloody killed. My chest especially.

"Freyr-"

My ears were a tad muffled after the explosion, but I felt someone grab me and sit me up against the wall. It hit me now- I was part Siren, and that meant I wasn't as indestructable of sorts as vamps were.

And he must have known it, because I felt a wrist against my mouth, blood hot and lovely in my mouth. But now I coughed and he removed it.

My vision returned, and I was faced with Godrics bloodstained and concerned look.

"Are you ok my dear?" He asked, and I nodded, muttering. "Eric?"

"He's fine. Now, can you stand?"

"Just give me a moment. Check the others."

He seemed reluctant to leave me, but he did in the end, and a new figure appeared, crouching down next to me, a hand on my arm as he sighed. "Are you ok?"

"Jeez, seriously. Stop treating me like I'm Bambi on ice. I'm not stupid and weak."

Eric just chuckled, then rubbed some of the blood of my cheek, going. "Come on-" I got to my feet and looked around, gasping-

The place was a total and utter wreck. Oh god... this place had been my second home for so many years, and now it was... gone.

"Come on love-" He sighed, picking me up into his arms, my chest still twinging as Godric ordered us all back to Hotel Camilla.

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

I was more than thankful for a shower and change of clothes when we got there, and as I walked into the main room in just a towel, my raven black hair wet on my back.

The place was empty, and as I rubbed my hair, I listened to the music playing quietly on the radio.

The hairdryer was humming lightly, but I could still hear Muse playing softly. I closed my eyes the duration, then got dressed in a cream dress with dark brown belt and matching suede shoes. Eric had them delivered for me, and I was shocked to be honest that he knew what I loved to wear. He was learning.

I went downstairs, almost bashing into Nan Flanagan as I did so, and I scowled at her, wondering what the hell she was doing here.

"What's going on?" I asked as I walked in, and only a few were left in the room. Godric got up from his seat, then sighed as he walked over. "Nothing of any importance my dear."

"Wha-?" I started, but he just carried on walking past and vanished. Eric walked over, sighing. "He got fired."

"What-!"

I didn't know what to say to that, and just spluttered. "Bu-? None of this was his fault-! How can they just... fire him-! He bought peace back to Dallas... you remember the-" he just put a hand over my mouth, and I shut up. He sighed, then kissed my forehead, going. "Calm down."

I did so, and he smiled a little. "That's better. Now... relax. The danger's passed for now."

At that, I let him kiss me once, then left me.

But that relaxing session wasn't going to last much longer.

Something... felt so wrong, and I got up of the sofa, frowning. I let my feet lead me up to the roof, and I checked my watch- almost dawn...

What would Godric be doing up there at this time of the morning-?

As I arrived at the top, I saw him stood there with Eric, and I could hear them clearly- Eric was telling him to get inside.

"What's going on?" I asked, stopping before the pair, and Godric sighed heavily. "Go back in Freyr."

I scowled, then Eric scoffed. "Well, if I can't talk you out of it, Freyr will."

"Talk you out of-?" I started, confused... but then I glanced at the sun that was about to rise. "Just... no. What the fuck do you think you are doing-! Get in right now, Godric! Seriously!"

I had tears in my eyes, and they ran bloody and red down my face and onto my dress. And it was them that Godric nodded to, going. "Don't cry my dear. You're ruining your dress."

"I don't care."

"Both of you, get inside."

Needless to say, both me and Eric yelled. "No!"

"I'll drag you back inside." I snarled, and he chuckled. "I know you would. But Freyr, my dear... two thousand years, and-"

"If you say 'I'm tired,' I'll friking slap you." I told him, my eyes burning from the bloodied tears, fists clenched.

Godric sighed. "Both of you... I love you both. But now I need you both to let me go."

I scoffed and glanced to Eric who had bloodied tears running down his own face.

Just... I couldn't lose Godric. I loved him much more than a child did its maker. Plus he was just... my brother, father... everything. I couldn't and wouldn't lose him. I'd never, ever forgive myself.

I just flung my arms around his shoulders, sobbing into his neck. "Please... I thought you wer going to give me away at the wedding huh? And now you want to leave me without you? No. You can't do this to me... I love you."

He wrapped his arms around me, sighing into my hair. "My dear, dear Freyr. I love you too. But-"

"Unless you're going back in, you can't speak."

Godric sighed, then just took my face in his hands, thumb caressing my cheek as he said softly. "Let me go-" he looked to Eric. "Both of you."

I could feel the sun start to rise, and Godric sighed heavily. "My dear Freyr, Eric... I apologize... but as your maker, I command you both to go back inside."

His words made me step back, the tears in my eyes stopping dead. "You can't..." I muttered, and he sighed. "You heard me my love."

I heard footsteps behind me, and as I glanced around, Sookie was stood there. She must have been able to read my thoughts, about how... destroyed I was by my makers decision. She looked next to tears, and said quietly. "I'll stay with him."

A silence followed that, and I felt Eric take my hand, but I pulled it away, not caring what he thought as I kissed my maker for a moment or two, and he sighed. "Freyr... go."

I let Eric pull me away now, and the last thing I saw of Godric was the blood on his right cheek from my tears, watching me go with conflicted eyes.

And that was it... gone.

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

Eric took me back to our room, sitting us down on the bed and pulled me into his arms as I sobbed into his chest, a hand on the back of my head, shushing me softly.

I don't really know how long I cried, but it was hell of a long time. He was gone... oh god, this couldn't be happening...

We were lying on the bed together in the total darkness, sunrise an hour ago. Eric was fast asleep, but I just couldn't sleep. I got to my feet, walking over to the window, feeling totally numb as I raised a finger to the internal blinds, pushing one down, not caring if the sunlight that was streaming onto my chest burned me.

But that was the thing... it didn't.

I frowned, raising my hand to the sunbeam, watching it dapple on my paler than usual skin, then looked back up to the blinds- what the hell-?

I looked to Eric who was still fast asleep, then went into the bathroom, washing the blood off and changed my dress into one of Erics grey shirts, adding my belt from the dress with leggings.

Truly I didn't know why I was doing this, but I figured I shouldn't really care now that Godric was gone. I walked down to the main room of the hotel, wondering why the sun didn't burn my skin like it had for the last thousand years.

Then again, I hadn't been in the sun since I found out my other side.

I stood outside the hotel, staring up at the sun, not able to look without wincing from its brightness. It had been... too long. My god, I could walk in the sun...

A smile escaped me now as I saw the colors in my hair that I'd almost forgotten about. Shades of deep dark brown, hints of purple and blue as well.

I stood there in the dawn for next to half an hour, thinking- this darkness... I didn't have to belong to it anymore it looked like. But then, Eric still did, and he needed me more than ever now our maker was gone.

With no regret, I went back inside and back up to where my fiance was still asleep, the darkness keeping him safe. Keeping us safe. I closed the door and locked it behind me, pulling the covers over us both, snuggling into his chest, holding him tightly as I closed my eyes and let sleep take me.

But I never noticed the figure that was stood outside the door against the wall, his eyes closed in the sunlight protected corridor, thinking-

He had to leave for a while... and the guilt of them thinking him dead was heavy upon him.

Me kill off Godric? Hell no! Love that guy and writing him too much lmao! And Frey can walk in the sun? Shame she can't live in it. Anyway, extra long chapter for you all, glad you're all still reading! Please review? X Nic
