I appreciate all the love from you guys. I also wanna thank all the people who put me in alert. I LOVE YOU ALL! I will try to get 13 up soon. Now enough ramblings from me and ON WITH THE SHOW!

Chapter 12

Freya Pov.

I made it all the way to my car before the heavy sobs overtook me. I had been wrong. He didn't have feelings for me. I heard the doors of Fangtasia fly open . I saw Eric come racing to the car. Before I could put the key into the ignition he was tapping on my window. I wiped my eyes and took a deep calming breath before I looked into his beautiful blue eyes.

" What do you need boss? " I asked rolling down the window.

" We need to talk Fey." he said

"Business can wait until tomorrow. I need to pack and you have a refreshment to enjoy." I said smiling. I refused to let him see me being weak. The last thing I needed was to inflate his ego anymore.

"DROP THE ACT FREYA! Your not going anywhere. Now grow up, stop threatening to leave, and come talk to me." he snapped

"What act Eric? Is this not what you want? Me to be okay with you being with other women. I'm not that obedient." I spat.

" Damn it Freya! I can feel every one of your emotions. You drank from me. I will always feel you." he said trying to caress my cheek.

"That's where you are wrong Viking. You will never 'feel' me again." I said moving out of his grip.

" Stubborn just like your Aunt. Listen to reason. I have been having sex for a thousand years. Why would I forgot that with out knowing I was gonna have another woman in my bed." He said.

"Who you sleep with is none of my business Eric. But in the future I hope you are willing to five up more for someone who cares for you." I said emotionlessly admitting my feelings for him.

"That's rich coming from you. What have you ever given up for anyone? It sure as fuck isn't that virginity you dangle in front of me. I don't know why your are being so illogical about this. Its not like you were coming to yield to me." He laughed

All I could do was look away. I couldn't lie to him. But I couldn't bring myself to say yes either. It took him all of about five seconds to realize what my silence meant. He stopped laughing and looked at me. Surprise was clear on his face.

" Freya I didn't know you were coming back." He explained.

" That's okay. I just though since you were my protector and all you could do your job better if you shared in on my powers." I lied mostly to myself.

" Freya, please come back in. I will give you whatever you want." he bartered.

" You cant give me what I want." I said starting my car.

" Why must you always assume you know me so well? What is it that you want?" He asked

" I want you to feel for me the way I feel for you." I said as I put my car in gear and left the parking lot.

Eric Pov.

I watched Freya drive out of the parking lot. For the first time in a thousand years I regretted how the situation had unfolded. I wanted Freya completely. Not just her body but her mind as well. What the hell was wrong with me? I walked back into the club to find Pam leaning against the stage.

"So I take it that didn't go well." she said without looking up from her phone.

"Call Vanessa." I ordered

She handed me her phone and walked out of the room. She picked up after the third ring.

"Calling to join in on the party?" she answered.

" That is extremely disturbing. I need to know how to fix something can you help me?" I asked her

"Depends on what ya broke. So what did you break and even more important do I need to have your maker give you a firm spanking?" she

"Freya is gone. She came to give herself to me and caught me sleeping with someone else. She got mad and left. How do I fix it." I pleaded.

" I think you should be talking to her not me. I mean all I can tell you to do is let her know how you feel but that is such generic advice. I'm sorry sweetness looks like this is all yours to fix." she said.

" Thanks for absolutely nothing." I fumed

"Listen Viking, if you hadn't fucked everything up you wouldn't need me to fix it. Now suck it up and go after her or wallow in self pity and pretend it is what is best. But don't call me asking for my help and then bitch me out. Now I have some extremely kinky sex to get back to." she said as she hung up the phone.

She was right. I couldn't just sit here. If I wanted Freya back I would have to go and win her back. I grabbed my car keys and left. If I was lucky I would catch her before she went to sleep.

Freya POV

I drove all the way home only to find Kellan sitting on my porch swing. I got out and walked over to him with tears in my eyes.

" I see Tante didn't waste anytime getting you involved." I said sitting down and avoiding eye contact.

"Fey we worry about you that's all. I came to make sure you were okay." he soothed.

"I can't believe I was willing to risk everything for him Onkel." I said finally letting the tears fall. " What a lousy Goddess of Love I am."

" No sweet child. You are going to be an amazing Goddess of Love. You cant help that your heart feels for him. Eric has only ever loved two people since he has become vampire. Himself and his maker." He explained

"Do you think he feels anything for me Onkel" I asked.

"I don't know Liebling. Lets make a deal. Come home with your Tante and I. If he doesn't come for you in a month you marry Alan. Deal?" he asked extending his hand for me to shake. I thought about it for a minute. I didn't want to spend eternity alone, and if he didn't come for me that is what I would be doing. Alan was a great backup plan. He was no Eric but he would spend all of his immortality making sure I was happy.

"Agreed." I said shaking his hand.

We both got up from the swing at the same time and walked to the door.

"Give me a second. I'm gonna call Isis and tell her what's going on." he said shooing me inside to pack.

Kellan POV

I called Isis's phone. She knew Freya would listen to me. She listened to reason. I liked to think that she took after me in that way. Isis had a flair for the dramatics. It's one of the reason's I loved her so much. She always made life interesting. She picked up after two rings.

"Hello husband." She answered

"Hello wife." I said smiling.

"Did Fey make it home safe?" she asked.

" Yes love. She came back shortly after you left." I told her.

"Who knew the Viking was a one minute man." she laughed.

"That's disturbing." I laughed

"Did she take the bait?" she questioned.

"Yes. She agrees. Eric is a fool if he lets her go." I said

"I am no fool." Eric spoke walking towards me.

"Isis, I'll call you back." I told her

"Fine. But if you kill him bring me back a souvenir." she instructed hanging up the phone. I turned to Eric. He looked frustrated.

"How are you this evening Northman?" I asked

"Pissed off. That niece of your is as stubborn as an ox I once owned." he said

"She is a Drotzmania." I laughed

"She came to yield to me and saw me enjoying my meal. When I tried to talk to her she wouldn't leave her damn car and drove off." he explained

"What did you expect? Her to be easily broken like the ox?" I laughed again.

"Is that to much to ask. I don't like feeling like this." He said running his hands through his hair.

" Eric do you want Freya?" I asked simply

"I don't know." he admitted

" Then go back to the club and figure it out. When you do come for her at my home in Germany. I will hold off the betrothal for a month. But she will marry Alan if you do not come." I explained.

"Can I tell her goodbye?" he asked.

" She is up in her room." I said pointing to the door. I ever seen him look so hopeful in the whole time I had known him. Maybe Fey was right. Maybe he did love her

Eric POV

I ran up to her room faster than I had ever ran. I had made up my mind that I would be honest with her. I knocked but got no answer. I opened her door to find her bending over her suitcase packing. I could hear the music she was listening to. The lyrics seemed to fit the situation perfectly.

"I gotta let my spirit be free to, Admit that I was wrong and then change my mind.

Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind.

I can't waste time so give me the moment

I realize nothing's broken

No need to worry about everything I've done

Lived every second like it was my last one.

Don't look back got a new direction

Loved you once, needed protection.

You're still a part of everything I do, you're on my heart just like a tattoo

Just like a tattoo, I'll always have you. "

I walked over to her and tapped her on her shoulder. She removed the earphone and glared at me.

"I'm trying to pack. What can I help you with?" she asked

" I came to tell you I am okay with your decision to go back to Germany. You were right I can't give you what you want." I said. I smelt her tears before I saw them.

"I understand." she said looking away. I reached for her face and turned it up to me.

"Freya, please. Give me some time and then we will see what happens." I said leaning down to kiss her. I knew it would be the last kiss for some time. When we broke apart I left without a word.

Freya's POV.

As I recovered from the kiss he was gone. He had come to tell me goodbye. He was letting me go. DAMN IT! This was going to be a LONG month. After packing my clothes and a few belongings I sent a text to Vanessa asking her to keep an eye on my place for me while I was gone. She agreed on one condition, that Godric could come with her something about her wanting to play nanny. I agreed laughing and making her promise to come visit me. After that I went to sleep. I really just needed a break from the world. When I woke up the next morning I started getting ready and putting my stuff by the door for Anubis Air to pick up around 2pm.I wondered how much longer I was going to be able to walk in the sun. Lotus had said the changes in me would be subtle over the next few weeks. I was gonna miss going to the parks and museums. But for now I was still free to walk in the light. Alan had informed me that there was going to be a welcome home party for my Tante and Onkel. So once the jet took off I began to get ready . Once we were an hour away Alan came and sat beside me.

"You look nice." he said kissing my cheek.

"You look pretty nice yourself." I said smiling.

"How's it feel to be going home?" he asked

"Bittersweet." I admitted

"Is this an Eric problem?" he asked tensing up.

"I'm gonna miss Pam and Vanessa. Hell I am even gonna miss Ginger. I loved it there. No one knew who I was and I knew they liked me for who I was not who I was going to be." I admitted

"That's okay Fey. They will come visit us" he said comforting me

"I know, so are you happy to be going home?" I asked

"Extremely. I'm a home body. I don't like going out." He said

We chatted for a while before Isis and Kellan came and sat by us. I put on a happy face and prepared myself for what was to be my own personal hell.

Liebling = Sweetheart
