Thank you both this chapter is all for you.
Chapter 11
I must have dozed off laying beside Eric. I awoke four hours later to my phone ringing. I sat up and fished it out of bag. The caller I.D. read Isis.
"Hello Tante. How is the party?" I asked
"Well Freya it would be so much better if I knew where in the blue hell you are." she scolded.
"I am still at Fangtasia. I was very weak and rather tired so Eric was kind enough to let me rest." I explained carefully. The last thing I needed was her to know I had taken his blood.
"Where is the Viking whore now?" she huffed
"That is a good question. He wasn't around when I woke up. Would you like me to find him for you Tante?" I asked trying to ease her anger.
"No, I was calling to make sure you were okay. This party is on the edge of becoming a blood orgy and I wanted you to go straight home instead of coming here. I will speak with you later. Ich hab dich lieb, Fey." she said
"Ich hab dich auch lieb." I responded and hung up.
After shutting my phone I stood up and smoothed out my dress. I looked around the small bedroom for Eric. He was no where to be found. I began to study the room. It was not hard to figure out what this room was used for. A king sized bed with blood red silk sheets and a few candle holders with a mirror in the corner was all that was in there. So this is Eric's "party room" I looked at my reflection in the mirror. There was no mark on me anywhere. The perks of having a vampire boss. I walked over to the door we had entered through and started to open it when I heard voices. I cracked the door open just enough to see who was talking. I saw Eric sitting at his desk leaning back with his finger tips touching each other. I looked at who he was facing and my jaw hit the floor. It was the Immortal Goddesses. I was floored. Why were they here and what were they talking about?
Eric Pov
"Northman, you shared blood with her didn't you?" Lotus questioned
"Yes Goddess she is now mine." I said smugly.
"I think you have that backwards. You have made yourself hers." Diana corrected.
"Why does she come before me? She is not one of you yet. I am vampire she is not." I retorted.
"She will be far greater than vampire, Eric. As will you." Trinity soothed him.
I looked at Lotus with a confused look on my face.
"That is if you can learn to shut that over zealous trap of yours." Diana spoke.
"Your blood is what caused her ascension to happen months before it was meant to begin. Freya is meant to be an Immortal Goddess, but that does not mean she will be turned in the traditional form. The reason she was to remain a virgin until she ascended was the fact that once she tasted a vampires blood she herself would start to become one. As you know the person's blood that she drinks will become her maker." Lotus explained.
"So I am going to be Freya's maker. That does make me important." I smiled
"Viking stop thinking with your own ego and listen to thy elder sister. She is trying to explain to you that you have taken a very important choice away from our sweet young one." Diana scolded.
"I'm just her maker. That wasn't really a decision she could make." I said
"Ah but it was. She had the option to choose whom to give her unwilling loyalty to. Think of your fierce loyalty to your Godric. You would have done anything he commanded with out a thought of your own well being. If she does not choose you as her mate you will be making her split herself into two people. Freya your child and Freya your superior. We had wanted her to take her mates blood as he would have a fierce loyalty to her as she would to him. When she mates with him he will be given all of her power as long as he is loyal and true to her." Lotus spoke.
"Don't worry. She will choose me as her mate. My only competition is Alan if you could even consider him that.." I said confidently
At just that moment Freya walked into my office. She looked confused but just bowed to the Goddesses and sat on the couch.
Freya's POV
I wondered why Eric had been talking to the Goddesses. I had tried to eavesdrop on them but they were speaking to low for me to hear, I had barely heard Alan's name and my own. Were they talking about the betrothal? Maybe they had come to forbid it. But again why would they have to talk to Eric? As I sat down they all looked at me and smiled.
"Freya, we have come to explain some things to you." Lotus spoke.
"Is this about me drinking Eric's blood?" I asked
" Some of it is. The rest will be about you ascending." she explained.
" Freya, once you tasted a vampires blood you begin to turn into one. The changes will not be drastic. They will be small subtle changes over the next few weeks." Trinity chimed in.
"So does this mean no more sun shine?" I asked
"Afraid so sweetheart. But you will also be given amazing powers. Ones that will allow you to do amazing things. It is a fair trade I promise you." Diana soothed.
" What kind of powers?" I asked
" You will be given the ability to see into the future as long as it involves love. You will become telekinetic and you will be able to communicate with us in our own language and through telepathy." Diana explained.
" I have this purple mist like power already. It pushes people away from me. Do you all have that?" I asked.
"Indeed we do. It is just a standard shield. As time passes you will be able to control it more and more." Lotus explained.
"Is anyone going to tell her of her maker?" Eric finally spoke as a smirk crept up his face.
"My maker? Its not." I said
"Well we had hoped to wait until after you chose a mate to tell you of this but whoever's blood you taste will become your maker." Lotus said.
"You have got to be shitting me." I exclaimed
" Unfortunately we are not. In all fairness to the bull headed Viking he did not know. He was just trying to save you." Diana said
"So you mean to tell me that the rest of my immortal life I will be tied to him. I don't even have a say in the matter?" I exploded.
"So let me get this straight, your okay with me going down on you but your offended by being my child? Ah to be young again." Eric mocked
"Sisters I believe it is time for us to leave maker and child alone. Freya be careful and congratulations on the betrothal and your powers." Lotus said as she walked out of the office.
I sat on the couch for a minute trying to process everything. How in the hell was I gonna explain this to Alan? For that matter what in the hell was I gonna say to Tante? She was gonna murder Eric. That is if she beat me to it.
"Fey, are you okay?" Eric asked breaking the silence.
"I'm overwhelmed that's all." I lied. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing he had won.
"Don't worry I take very good care of my children." he said with a wink.
"So that is why you are always yelling at Pam." I said sarcastically
"Pam is a different story. She has been my child for centuries now. She still hasn't learned her place." He said walking towards me.
"So you want me for my obedience. We really have to talk about this." I said as he inched closer.
"There is no need to talk. You are my child now. You are mine. Let me hear you say it." Eric whispered just inches from my lips.
"No." I said trying to kiss him
"Say it Freya. Tell me you are mine." he said touching my lips with his as he spoke.
I stayed silent. If I said it he would have me. I would have yielded to him. I couldn't do that. I knew I was falling for him, but he was not in love with me. He began to kiss my neck and my cheek. He avoided kissing my lips.
"Say it Freya. Yield to me. Give yourself what I know you want." he whispered.
"Okay Eric. I'm -" I was cut off by the door opening.
Eric's POV
This was it she was giving in. She was gonna say it. Then that fucking door. I think I will get a dead bolt for it later. I looked over and saw Vanessa standing there. She had a smile on her face.
"Eric there is someone here to see you. Have you bit his ear yet Fey?" she spoke.
"Vanessa, tell them I'm busy and learn to knock." I growled.
"I'm not your secretary but I will this one time. Why should I knock live porn doesn't bother me." she retorted.
"I didn't want any distractions." I confessed
"Invest in a lock like everyone else. I mean damn this is an office." she said as she closed the door.
" Saved again. I'm sorry Eric. I have to go." Freya said.
I watched her pick up her bag and walk out the door. I was starting to get pissed at the sight of her always leaving me. I took a few seconds to get my thought is order before I walked out of my office. I looked at the stage and saw my guest. Sitting in my chair was Godric.
"Master, it is nice to see you." I said as I bowed in front of him.
" It is good to see you to Eric." Godric spoke.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I would have received you properly." I spoke
"I am not worried about a reception. I would however like to know why that human walked past me smelling of you?" He asked me
"That was Freya. She is going to be an Immortal Goddess and Eric gave her his blood so she would heal." Vanessa said rather quickly. She never could keep silent around Godric. The lady could barely keep her panties on around him let alone keep her mouth shut.
"Is this true?" Godric asked me.
"Yes it is master." I admitted
"This should make an interesting story to hear. Come child why don't we sit and talk." he said gesturing for me to sit down.
Freya's POV
I ran out of Fangtasia as fast as my legs could carry me. There was so much information to process. I felt like my head was spinning. Could everything really be spiraling out of conrol. I needed a hot shower and some sleep to sort all this out. I started to walk towards my car when I remembered I hadn't drove to the club. I cursed rather loudly as I pulled out my phone and dialed Isis.
"Hello Fey." She answered
"Tante, could you please send a car for me?" I asked.
" Of course sweetheart. Alan was on his way back to check on you. He should be arriving anytime now. Do me a favor and don't let that horny little dog of yours bite him." she said.
"My horny little dog?" I asked
"The Viking. It would be really upsetting for me to get his blood on my dress. A thousand year old blood just doesn't come out easily." she said as she hung up.
I waited outside for Alan's black BMW to pull up. I was reviewing my upcoming week when I saw a black car pulling up. I put my phone away and watched as Alan rolled down his window and smiled at me.
"Excuse me miss. I am here to pick up this beautiful German princess do you know where I could find her?" He joked.
"I staked her about 5 minutes ago. Looks like you will have to take me instead." I laughed as he opened my door at vampire speed.
" So how are you feeling Fey?" he asked.
"I'm feeling better. It was just a slight bump on the head." I lied
" I don't know if I could live for eternity without you." he said kissing my hand.
" Alan you lived hundreds of years before I was even born." I said softly.
"I love you Fey. Eternal life without you is not life it is a punishment." he said stopping in front of my house. He walked to my door and helped me out.
" Alan you don't love me. Its my powers growing you only feel like that because I'm near you." I explained as I took his hand and walked to my front door.
" Why are your powers growing? Isis said that wouldn't happen for months." Alan questioned.
"At the ball tonight when I was pushed I ended up with a bad cut on me and Eric gave me his blood to heal me. Because I tasted his blood my powers have went into overdrive." I admitted.
" Did he feed from you?" Alan asked angrily.
" No. He did lick the blood from my wound. But I did not let him feed from me I swear." I said.
"Verdammt Freya! You are bound to him now! How am I ever going to be able to win your love with him in your head?" he yelled.
"I am sorry. I wanted to be honest with you." I told him
"What did Isis have to say?" he asked.
"She doesn't know. You can't tell her. She will stake Eric and send me to a convent." I exclaimed.
" Fey you have to tell her." he said
"You just have to give me time. Would you like to come in?" I asked in hopes of distracting him.
"After you." He said opening the door for me.
"I am gonna go up stairs and change. Just give me a second." I said walking up the stairs.
I quickly changed into a pair of jogging shorts and a tank top and came running back down. Alan was sitting on the couch playing on his phone. When he saw me he quickly put his phone away and stood up.
"Who were you talking to?" I asked.
" I was just letting Isis know you were home safe." he said avoiding my eyes.
"Alan did you tell her about Eric?" I asked panicked.
"So what movie do you want to watch?" he said walking to my dvd rack.
"Alan answer me." I commanded.
"I didn't have a choice Fey. She knew I was hiding something and I thought maybe she could give me advice on how to make you mine." he said walking towards me.
"Alan du Vollidiot! Do you have any idea what you have done? She is going to make me go back to Germany. Why would you do that to me?" I gushed.
"Fey I'm sorry." he said
I went to open my mouth to yell again when Isis burst into my front room. She did not look pleased and for the first time in my life I was scared of her.
"FREYA ATHENA DROTZMANIA HOW COULD YOU?!" she yelled.
"Tante, he did it to save me. Please don't make me leave here. I like it here." I pleaded.
"Freya, I will give you 24 hours to get your affairs in order then we will all be going home." she said.
" But Tanteā¦"I stammered
"I am done listening to all of this back talk. You will be firmly under my watch until you mate and ascend completely. Now you have your orders and that is all." she said
" No Tante that is not all. I will not be going back home with you until I am ready. I will make a decision for myself for once and I will be staying here until I feel comfortable to leave. I love you very much but I can not keep fighting with you." I said as I walked towards the door.
" Freya where are you going?" Isis shouted after me.
I didn't answer I jumped in my car and drove as fast as I could to Fangtasia. I was going to make the one decision I wanted to. I was going to yield to Eric.
Eric POV.
I had explained everything to Godric. He was pleased to hear that I had finally softened towards a human. He had left shortly after with Vanessa. I was sure they were in a hotel room causing a noise complaint. I was sitting in the bedroom Freya had slept in. After my foreplay with her I was left unsatisfied. I asked Pam to bring me one of the pets she kept to fulfill me. The door opened and the lady walked in. She was short and brunette but instead of hazel eyes hers were blue. Pam had tried to make her look like Freya for me. What a great child I had. I pulled off her clothes and then my own and laid her on the bed. I began to enter her when I heard a gasp at the door. It was Freya.
" I'm sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to let you know that I am heading back to Germany with Tante. Please carry on." she said closing the door. I knew she was upset because I could feel her hope crash down. I quickly got dressed and went after her. She had to know that I wanted her. I had to tell her I was falling in love with her.
Thank you all so much for reading and please leave me a review. LOTS OF LOVE
Tess
