Chapter Eleven - Heaven on Earth
Have you ever had one of those dreams where everything felt so real, so unbelievably real that you are willing to bet your life it actually happened? Well it was one those dreams that I had today. I remember I was running like I have never run before. Everything was so dark around me, I didn't know where my feet were touching, but something in me was screaming, screaming so loud for me to run or…I will be too late. My heart was pounding so fast, I thought it might just pop any minute. The darkness around me started becoming a little brighter like a candle light in a pit of a black hole. Slowly things started to appear around me, and all of the sudden I was in the middle of some sort of a riot, well at least that's what I thought until the faces of the people around be started to become familiar. I was surrounded by the fellowship of the sun members. They seem to cheer like they were celebrating. I started to push passed through trying to see what was going on. Just when I passed the last person that was preventing me to see, I got the shock of my life. There in the middle of the crowd, Godric was tied on to a silver poll, there were logs around his legs that were burning in flames like he was set in the middle of a bonfire. Godric was on fire, he was burning. My ears started to ring from the excoriating scream he was letting out. I have never heard such a painful cry. His body was fighting back as all the muscles were tensing out. I wanted to run to him, but my body was numb, like I can't move it even if I desperately wanted too. "Please, somebody help him, please!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as the tears started to fall like rain from my eyes. No one around seemed to hear me, their eyes were on Godric as they cheered in happiness. The sob in my voice seemed to become louder and louder as my feet stayed glued to the ground. All I could do was stand there and watch him burn; hear him cry helplessly as my plea for help goes unnoticed and unheard. That's when I woke up jerking in my bed as my body was drenched in my own sweat.
I pushed my damp hair back as I slowly slid out of my bed. My body was shaking, as my legs felt like Jell-O. It was early, a lot earlier that I usually wake up. The clock at my bed side said 5:02 AM. After sitting on my bed trying to calm down, I slowly got up to take a shower. I let out a sigh when I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. My eyes were wide as my face a bit pale. I haven't had a dream like this since Claire's disappearance, I guess I'm probably freaking out inside, for the day of the lockdown is getting closer.
Once I was done with my shower, I walked in to my closet to get dressed. I grabbed my empty book bag and slowly walked out of my room, before heading down the stair. I tried not to make a sound as I walked into the kitchen, toward the refrigerator. "Hey" I let out a surprised squeak before swiftly twisting around to see Jason sitting on the kitchen stool only in his boxers. I forgot Jason was staying with us. After he got promoted to a Fellowship of the Sun soldier, Steve invited him to stay with us, which I think is stupid. I mean seriously, the man is trying to take his wife and he still can't see it. "You scared me." I let out a sigh. I'm jumpy already from my dream let alone him adding on to it. "Sorry, how come your up?" he questioned. I pulled out sliced ham and bread to make a sandwich for myself. "I could I ask you the same thing." I voiced as I prepared my food. "I just couldn't sleep." He stated exhaustedly raising his hand showing me a cup of milk he had. "Gram's always said warm milk could put anyone right back to sleep." He spoke quietly; the sorrow in his voice was noticeable. I heard him talk about what happened to his grandmother at The Light of Day Retreat. I'm sure it must have been really devastating to find out your best friend had killed you grandmother. My hand moved slowly cutting my sandwich down in half before handing the half slice to Jason. "And my mom used to say, a sandwich was always good for a mourning heart." I stated making Jason smile a bit. He accepted the other half as he happily took a bite. I walked toward the cabinet and pulled out a plastic wrap and a silver water thermos. I wrapped the other half of the sandwich and put icy cold water in the thermos before placing them both in my book back. Jason's eyes followed what I was doing before he opened his mouth to speak, "so…Where ya going at this time?" he asked. I looked up at him; his eyes were staring at me curiously. "I have something to do." I said as I pulled the book bag over my shoulder and walked out of the kitchen.
My eyes stared the beautiful glow of the sunrise in front of me, as I walked out of the house; there was aglow of ray of goldish red spread across the sky beautifully. Somehow it reminded me of Godric, and his beauty that seem to glow like a morning sunrise, and like his soft kisses and touches that are so warm and tender that seem to radiate like the breaking of dawn. I walked toward my car with a smile on my face, thinking about him always seem to bring smile on my face. Like always the drive to the church didn't take more than a few minutes.
Once I parked my car at the back of the church, I grabbed my bag and stepped out of my car and walked toward the back of it, opening the trunk. I looked around to make sure no one was around before grabbing a Trublood I bought last time I went shopping. But I knew Gabe will be somewhere in the church and the chance of him checking my bag is high, so I did the first thing that popped in my head. I pulled the silver thermos out of my bag and dumped the water it contained, before opening the Trublood cap. With a bit of curiosity, I brought the synthetic blood to my nose and sniffed it. It didn't smell bad, nor did it smell good, in fact I was not quite sure what kind of scent it held. I drew the bottle away from my face, and I slowly poured the blood into the thermos. When the bottle was empty, I threw it back in to the car and made sure the thermos cap was closed tightly and shoved it back into the bag, before I walked toward the church.
When I walked into the basement Gabe was stretched out on his chair, sleeping uncomfortably. I quietly walked toward him; his head was laid awkwardly on the back of the chair, which I'm sure will be painful when he wakes up. I couldn't help but feel bad for him. Sure, Gabe gets on my nerves all the time, and sometimes I just want to choke him to death, but I also see he is just a man with a lot of issues. I took a couple of steps closer and tapped him on the shoulder. He jerked up from his seat, his eyes wide open, "what! What, what happened?" he voiced his eyes wide in shock. When he noticed it was just me and nothing was going on, he let out a breath. "What are you doing here, Gabe?" I questioned as I stared at his tired face.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" He barked harshly. I ignored his words for he is probably harsh because he is sleepy and weary. "You need to sleep, Gabe. Seriously, Steve doesn't pay you enough for all the stuff you put up with him." I voiced sympathetically. This is inhuman, the guy is here all day and all night, and he barely goes home, and now Steve is making him sleep down here. "You know the drill, now open the bag." Gabe stated resignedly breaking my thought. I pulled my bag off my shoulders and handed it to him. He opened the zipper and looked inside. "I have nothing in there but my lunch." I voiced as calmly as possible. Gabe didn't pay much attention to what it held inside; he just quickly glanced at it before handing it back to me. When I had the bag on my shoulder again, Gabe waved at me to go in. I took a step toward the room where the vampire was kept before stopping. "Hey Gabe, why don't you go upstairs to Steve's office, he has a large couch there and I'm sure he won't mind if you rest for a bit." He looked up at me from where he sat; I could tell he was really tempted by the idea. "Don't worry Gabe, I'll watch things here." I said smiling at him. He slowly got up from his seat and stretched his hands up making a cracking noise and letting out a yawn before he turned toward me. "Thanks kid, I owe you one." he stated before walking away. I turned back toward the door and walked in to the cold room the prisoner was kept.
Like always Godric was sitting in the middle of the cage with his legs crossed, but this time he wasn't meditating, he was reading one of the books I brought him. Without even realizing I let out a long sigh, as this relief washed over me. I guess I must have been really shaken up by my dream than I thought I was. He slowly looked up, as his eyes lighting up. I walked toward the cage before unlocking it and stepping inside. "Hey" I greeted softly smiling. My heart was jumping up and down in happiness just to see him, to know he was ok. He slowly lowered the book before he gave me a soft smile.
"Good morning," he greeted. I dropped next to him on the cold ground tiredly. I was sitting so close to him, I could feel my side brush against his. The vampire smiled before stretching his hand to stroke my head, "Is not it a bit too early to be here, child?" He questioned like he could see I needed sleep, as his hand continued to caress my hair.
My head slightly fell to his side, almost lying on his shoulders. "I couldn't sleep. Every time I tried, I keep having these nightmares." I voiced with a groan as my eyes fell closed for his fingers were doing wonders. Godric looked down at my relaxed face, his eyes heavy with worry. "Is something troubling you, Anna?" His hand paused before moving to my cheek to cup my face and tilted it up a bit. I opened my eyes to look in to his concerned ones. "It's nothing… well of course nothing is nothing…there is always something…it just…I just…ahhhh." I groaned stopping my awkward babbling and let out a huge sigh. What am I supposed to tell him? 'Oh my nightmares are you being set on fire by Steve.' I mean seriously, how would you tell that to someone? My hand moved to my book bag, opening the zipper and pulling out the silver thermos before I sat it in front of him. The vampire glimpse at it before his eyes moved back to me. He didn't say anything or ask what it was; I guess he could probably smell what it contained.
Godric continued to gaze at me, patiently waiting for my answer. "The thing is…I just…can't let you die by Steve's hand." I voiced sadly looking up into his beautiful eyes. The vampire's eyes soften as the corner of his lips tagged in smile that I have become very familiar to. "Anna, you have no obligation to save me, I deserve every bit of punishment sent my way." He stated like he already accepted everything that was coming his way as his eyes still looked at me softy. My head moved, jerking away from his touch in surprise, "Oblig—what, no! I don't want to save you because I feel obligated, I want to get you out of here cause I desperately want too. And I will get you out of here, no matter what it takes, even if it kills me, Godric!" my voice was louder than I intended, almost yelling at him in frustration. Steve has no power to punish anyone; no human being has the power to punish another. Our lord is the only one with power and he doesn't punish, he forgives.
Godric sat the book in his hand and slowly moved toward me, closing the space I made earlier. His hands stretched out to hold mine as he covered my hand in both his cold ones. He slowly leaned his head to brush his soft lips against my forehead. My eyes fell closed, feeling the gentleness and the strong emotion behind that small brush of kiss. Quicker than I wished, He drew back his head to gaze into my eyes, "you won't die for me Anna, I will not let anything happen to you." He whispered tenderly. I could tell he honestly meant what he said from the sincerity in his voice. "Why would you do that? You have no obligation to protect me." I spoke softly using the word he had used earlier. His face leaned closer to me before he answered my question. "Like you said, it's no obligation. I desire to protect you Anna, because you are my angel. Because you see in me in ways nobody else sees, not even me. Because you are my salvation." His hand moved from my hand to under my chin, tilting mine up to look straight into his eyes. My head was slowly moving toward his. "And because you are the closest to heaven that I'll ever be." He whispered, but before he could say anything else my head shot forward covering the small gap between us and pressed my lips to his. It was like I was attacking him as my hand swiftly moved to his head; my fingers buried in his soft dark hair, my other hand griping the back of his neck. Godric's both hands moved to my face, copping my face as his head shifted to aside for a better angle. This kiss was different than the soft, sweet, pure and honest kiss we shared yesterday. This kiss was hard and passionate. This was my desperate way to feel him, to know he would be ok, to know no one will take him away from me.
I don't know how long we kissed, but it was Godric who broke the kiss first, his forehead rested against mine as I tried to catch my breath and calm my heartbeat. He slowly released my face, sitting back his original place. His hand stretched out picking up the book that was left discarded. "You should rest, you'll need It." he stated his voice shaky a bit; I could tell he was effected by the kiss as much as I was. He slowly opened the book to the page he left off. I noticed he was reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I tipped my head to see what chapter he was on, "ooh, could you read louder please, you're on my favorite chapter." I questioned smiling at him. He looked toward me before nodding his head. I lie on the ground tucking my hands behind my head and listened to his beautiful voice as he read out loud, "You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on…" It didn't take long for my eyes to feel heavy. When I couldn't keep them open any longer, I let it fall close, giving into a blissful sleep.
