A/N: Hello, my lovely readers, how are guys? I'm really sorry for the long wait. I was experiencing a writer block. Seriously, I sat in front of my computer for hours, but nothing. I knew what I wanted to write, I had an outline for it, but I couldn't put it into words. I think I need motivation, and I'm 100% sure reviews motivate me faster. So please let me know what you think. Oh I almost for got, I know you guys have been asking for M chapters, and trust me there will be one very, very soon, but you have to understand Anna better. She is not the kind of girl who would give herself that easily, she shows Godric her love and how much she wants him, but at the same time, she wants to certain of Godric feelings.

Mess up my bed with me
kick off the covers I'm waiting
every word you say I think I should write down
don't want to forget come daylight
happy to lay here
just happy to be here
I'm happy to know you
play me a song your newest one
please leave your taste on my tongue
paperweight on my back
cover me like a blanket
And no need to worry
that's wasting time
and no need to wonder
what's been on my mind
It's you, It's you, It's you
Paperweight by Joshua Radin & Schuyler Fisk
Chapter Twenty One - Expect The Unexpected
I felt his cold icy lips kissing my shoulders and my neck. In between kisses, he parted his sensual lips, flicking his tongue over the soft skin of my neck in, sweet, passionate, strokes. I felt his fully bare skin lying in the midst of my legs, while the hardness of his body completely pressed against mine. His body softly rocked, with every thrust, my body was feeling incredible pleasure. My legs were wrapped around his waist, as I cried with each force he was drove into me. My fingers dug into the bed sheet, tearing it with my firm grip. Everything felt sweaty and feverishly hot, except for his cool skin. He was breathing hard as he whispered my name sweetly. His hand came up to cradle the back of my neck, and without speaking a word; he pressed his cool lips roughly claiming my neck again. His fangs softly grazed against my skin causing me to moan loudly. I grinded my hips against his, helping him to thrust into me harder as he gently kissed the base of my neck, and then… SNAP… I felt his fangs sink into my skin.
I woke up with a jolt, immediately sitting up on the bed, my hands quickly shooting to my neck as I felt the spot where his fangs had sunk, but there was nothing. "Son of …" I groaned keeping myself from cursing. I think I was having sex in my dream. This was crazy. I knew Godric said it was the blood, and that I'll become sexually potent but… damn it, this was too much. My entire body was covered in goose bumps and sweat as it has felt so real, so unbelievably real.
I slowly moved on the bed trying to get up, but I stopped when I felt something heavy on my stomach. I looked down to see Godric's hand, which was tightly wrapped around my waist. He had slept right next to me last night, well, this morning to be exact since we actually slept at around 6 or 7 am. I moved my head to glance at the clock that was by the bed, which said 10:52 am. I only slept for about 4 hours, but my body felt like it was full of energy. It must be the blood also, I concluded.
I slowly shifted closer to still sleeping Godric, my eyes scanning his face. He wasn't breathing, and with his pale face and cold body, it was as if he really was dead. My fingers moved at their own convenience, hovering lightly above his long lashes, tenderly tracing it over. My hand gradually moved to his nose before gracing down to the curve of his lips. He really was beautiful. To my eyes, he was perfect.
I smiled to myself, thinking how helplessly in love I was. Who would have thought, a girl like me would fall madly in love with a vampire. I remember as a child, asking my mother what love was, and how would I know if I was really in love with someone? She had simply said, "If he is the first thing you think of when you wake up, the only thing you think of when you're awake, and the last thing you think of before you go to bed, then he really is your someone special." But I didn't understand what she had meant back then. I remember being more confused than ever, causing her to let out her sweet laugh, pushing her lovely blonde hair back. "You'll understand when you're much older," was what she had said.
She was right. Lately, Godric seemed to be the only thing I think about. The only one I see myself waking up next to, his face being the first thing I want to see everyday, with bed-head hair and sleepy smile. I think I'm becoming unhealthily obsessed. I looked down at his sleeping face again. I could do this all day, just sit here and stare at him. I leaned down to lay a soft peck on his forehead, but before my lips could reach him there was a knock on the door. Who could be knocking at this time? I slowly pushed Godric's hand, trying not to wake him before I got out of the bed. I pressed my hand to my hair, trying to look presentable as I walked out the bedroom into the living room.
When I opened the door, I was sort of taken-aback by who was standing behind it. It was the blonde girl from night before, whom I still don't know her name. "Hi," She said smiling sweetly. "I hope I didn't wake you." She voiced concerned when she saw my still unfix bed-head and the way I was dressed. When she spoke I was able to catch her strong southern accent, which was quite noticeable compared to myself who was born and raised in Dallas Texas. Using my opportunity, I looked her up and down, finally getting the chance to get a good look at her. She was petite, yet taller than I was by like three inches. She was around 5'5 with a curvy body. She had soft brown eyes, and her blond hair seemed short compared to mine. She was dressed in a cute pink sundress, her hair pulled up. I shook my head, smiling back at her. "No its fine, I was already up. I'm Annabel Coleman by the way." I raised my hand to shake hers, sort of laughing at the situation. "Sookie Stackhouse." She also laughed taking my hand to shake.
"Ah, Jason's sister… I thought you were his girlfriend or something." I don't know why, but I didn't expect her to be his sister, sure, I can see the similarities, but she seemed smart compare to Jason's a bit airheaded-ness. "No, I'm Bill's." She said, her voice coming out a rather hurried, like she needed to convince herself too. I slowly nodded sort of sensing the tension. "Hmm…ok." There a pause of awkwardness in the air until she looked down to her hands, noticing something. "Oh, I brought some clothe." She said pushing a white sundress with slight lace at the top toward. I took it scanning its beautiful design. "Thank you. How did you know I needed something to wear?" I asked happily.
"You know… when… huh… when I saw you last night in that shirt; I assume …you probably needed something to wear." She stated as if she just came up with that explanation right there. I don't know if I should be suspicious, but she seemed like a nice girl. And besides, I really needed something to wear. "Thank you, you're a life saver." I expressed my gratitude. She simply waved it off, smiling cutely.
"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I was just wondering if you would like to go eat something down at the lobby? I really don't like eating by myself." She added at the end, her hand fidgeting a bit. I don't know why, but she seemed a bit nervous. "Hmm, sure. I'm starving anyways." I answered, and her face immediately brightened, showing me the gap in her tooth. "Great. I'll wait for you downstairs," was all she said before giving me one last smile and marching away.
Once I closed the door, I decided to take a quick shower, and get dressed in the white sundress she gave me. The dress fitted me somewhat awkwardly since she was a bit taller and had slightly wider hips. Once I was done getting ready, I grabbed my car key so I could drop it off at the front desk. With that, I left the room as quickly and quietly as possible, trying not to wake Godric, who was still sleeping. I took the fancy looking elevator and went strait to the Lobby. I dropped my key at the front desk so they could pick up my car and bring my clothes.
It wasn't hard to find Sookie, since she was waiting for me by the bar, flipping through a menu. I quickly moved toward where the blond was sitting. She looked up when I pulled the seat in front of her. "Oh look at you; you look cute as a button in that dress." She complemented smiling sweetly. "Thanks, but I don't think I fill it as well as you do" I replied my cheeks turning slightly pink. She waved it off as she handed me a menu that was on the table by her side. We both set down quietly flipping through the pages, until a waiter came to take our orders. She ordered the egg omelet, while I had their pancakes. "So…" She said once the waiter left. "Is it really true that you're Sarah Newlin's sister?" She questioned sounding interested. "Yes." I simply answered. "Wow, I see the resemblance, but I thought he was joking when Jason told me."
"Is it really that shocking I'm her sister?" I asked with a low voice. Could it really be that bad people are so shocked to know we're related? Is it really that impossible, that a girl like me wants to be here, to fall in love with a vampire like Godric? "No, no, I don't mean it like that. Trust me; it's not impossible to fall in love with a vampire, especially with a man like Godric." I stared at her with my mouth slightly open. Did I say that out loud? "How could you possibly know that…? I mean… I don't love him… I like him… you know in a friendly—" She cut my awkward babbling, her face showing a soft smile.
"I'm not blind you know, It's written all over your face. I saw how you were looking at him on the rooftop… and the kiss by the stairs…" I could feel my face turning red as I blushed at what she was saying. She must have noticed my red face because she smirked, and continued with what she was saying, trying to make me blush harder. "I wouldn't just kiss any guy like that, unless I have feelings for him. You guys were like sucking each other's face—"
"Ok! Ok! I admit the true, so please stop saying that." I accepted looking away. By now, my face was probably turning completely red as I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly. "You're just too cute." She laughed, just then the waiter came with our food and placed them neatly on the table. "So, is your boyfriend a vampire?" I questioned, changing the subject as well as wondering about her relationship with the vampires around here. "Yeah, his name is Bill." She stated chewing on her food. "Vampire Bill"… I don't know but it sounded weird to picture a vampire with a name like that. But then, I immediately remembered the mysterious looking guy, with dark hair and deep blue eyes that I have seen a few times.
Sookie and I continued talking. She told me about her first meeting with Bill, which happened where she works as a waitress at the local establishment called "Merlotte's bar and Grille". She told me how it was love at first sight, and the way she was instantly drawn to him, as he was to her. She continued on telling me about the first time she had his blood, and the sort of side effects she had experienced. I was very glad she told me about the blood, I was able to gain more information from her insight than Godric's. Even though he was very cute at the way he explained, but I was able to learn more from someone who had firsthand experience. It all made sense, the sexual desire, the way how I want to jump Godric every second and do very naughty things to him. The highly sensitive sense, like how I could smell every single ingredient in my food. It was true, she was able to explain it a lot better.
Sookie and I sat there for about an hour, talking about fandom topics, just enjoying a conversation. We even talked about vampires and there ability as well as there diets. She told me how they find virgin blood quite tasty; at least that was what she knew from her experience. The next topic that came up was family. I knew what happened to her grandmother awhile back, when Jason talked about it at "The Light of Day Retreat." But I was surprised when she told me about how she lost both her parents at age 7. She said they died in a flash flood. I was able to relate to her since I also lost both of my parents at a young age too. This was another in-common we had, beside both of us being in love with a vampire. It was in the middle of our conversation when Jason came over and interrupted us. "Hey Sook, come on we got to get moving." She looked at her wrist watch before she quickly got up.
"Wait, you're leaving?" I question slightly surprised. I wish they could stay longer; it was nice to talk to someone you can relate too. "Yeah, I haven't packed yet, and on top of that we're driving, so we have to leave now if we want to get home before it gets dark." She explained. "I'll see you before I leave." Was all she said before she rushed off, leaving me with Jason.
I looked up at him giving him a soft greeting. He smiled leaning forward on the bar. "So how does it feel to be on TV?" He questioned wiggling his eyebrows and giving me a goofy smile. I stared at him inquisitively, not having any idea what he was talking about. He must have seen the look on my face because he tried to elaborate. "You know… the News." He motion with his hand as if that was all the explanation I needed. "What are you talking about?" I knew Jason was a bit loose, but seriously, I had no clue what he was talking about.
"You got to be shiting me, you don't know about that?" he questioned looking taken-aback. "You were on Channel 4 News this morning. Steve and Sarah were saying something about you being kidnapped by vampires and stuff." If my jaw could hit the floor it would have been now. I was beyond shocked. I talked to Sarah last night, and she didn't say a thing about this. How could this happen? Are they trying to get me killed? Don't they know how dangerous this could be? This is Texas for god's sake, we're known for being hostile. Don't they know how many vampire hating people are out there? The moment they find out that I'm not kidnapped, I'm going to be publicly known as a fangbanger.
I quickly got out of my seat, run toward the elevator, leaving Jason where he sat. If what he said was true, I have to let Godric know. He will know what to do. I quickly got in the elevator, going up to the room, and continued running the moment I exited. Once I was halfway in the hallway, just when I was almost ten feet away from the room Godric and I was staying, something moved in the far corner of my vision. But before I could even look back, or before even I could hope to react, an icy cold hand clamped around my mouth as an arm wrapped painfully tight around my waist. I stumbled as I was dragged backward in super speed into one of the rooms. My mind instantly switched in overdrive, as I started freaking out. My back was smacked hard against the back of the door that closed behind me.
In front of me, stood a very angry looking Eric, his cold fingers wrapped around my neck tightly, almost choking me. His vampire fang SNAPPED out with a sharp clicking sound as he sneered in my face. "You had something to do with this, don't you?" He growled motioning toward the TV with his head as his face seemed to get angrier. This was a complete different Eric. This was a scarily darker, more animalistic Eric. I knew he didn't like me from the beginning, I knew the fact that I was related to Steve immediately put me on his bad side.
My shocked and terrified eyes slowly moved to the TV. And it was true, there I was, my high school ID picture being brought casted in the corner, as Steve and Nan Flanagan, the spokesperson for the American Vampire League, argued over my kidnapping. My head couldn't seem to adjust to what was going on, and not to mention, the fact that I had a very scary looking vampire threatening me didn't seem to help either. Eric's harsh voice seemed to bring me back to him, "This was your plan, wasn't it? Drawing yourself in using Godric, so you could finish what the fellowship started." I didn't know where he was coming up with these ideas, but before I could even attempt to answer him, a loud knock came from the door I was forcefully pressed to. "Eric, open up! It's me, Sookie." I could hear the blonde's voice come through behind the door. I'm sure the tall vampire already knew who it was before she even said so, but he slowly release his grip anyways.
I quickly moved away, giving some distance between him and myself. He slowly opened the door, and Sookie heatedly marched in uninvited. "Shame on you, Eric! Frightening the poor girl, I could hear her thoughts all the way from my room." She scolded the big bad vampire, not even scared about the fact he had about a foot on her. It might have been funny if I wasn't so confused with what she said. Did she just say hear my thoughts? "What took you so long, can't you carry out a simple task without going all…Sookie." He reprimanded looking irritated.
"Well, I don't see you doing the mind reading, so you can shut up and keep your criticism to yourself. It's not as easy as it sounds, you know, and for your information, I took as long as I did because I was digging up some stuff." She told him off, one of her hand on her waist. Ok, is it just me, or is this conversation getting more ridiculous by the second. I cleared my throat loudly, breaking their argument. I didn't have to know what it was, but I could tell there was some tension going on with them.
They both turned toward me before Sookie spoke. "She is clean, Eric. She is innocent." She said, her eyes softening when she looked toward me. "Are you absolutely positive?" The vampire questioned strongly as if I wasn't even there. "Yes, I'm positive Eric. She… she is in love with him." She affirmed her voice low at the end. "Huh, I hope she doesn't expect her feeling be to returned." Eric smirked as he said this, his eye glancing up and down my form.
"Come on, you can't be that dense about this sort of stuff. You have seen them together on the rooftop; it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on. Besides, Godric isn't like you; he is not a cold hearted jerk." She replied harshly, her wittiness coming out, as well as her sharp tongue. Eric's face seemed to change, like he was analyzing something. "Godric is a two thousand year old vampire, like he would actually fall a victim to such intolerance human emotion." He said it with a dry voice, as if he himself didn't believe at what he said.
Before Sookie could reply to what he said, I quickly jumped in, cutting her off. "Ok, what the hell is going on?" I spoke loudly. As much as I enjoyed the interesting conversation, I really didn't like being talked about like I'm not even standing in front of them. It was Sookie who answered my question. "I… I can read minds, and when we saw the News this morning, Eric sent me to spy on you to see if you had anything to do with what was going on. I'm really sorry, Annabel. I know I should have respected your privacy, but it was entirely his fault." She motioned toward Eric, who rolled his eyes at her.
"You're telepathic? Are you shiting me?" I voiced sounding like Jason. "What are you?" I questioned, not giving her time reply. "I'm just a waitress." She stated innocently. I didn't know if I should be freaked out, or think this is was the coolest thing ever. One thing was for sure, now everything seemed to make sense. The way she talked as if she knew what I was going to say before I said it. And when she came to my room… She didn't come to see me because she actually wanted a female company, no, she came looking for dirt, and I sat there opening up everything because i thought she was nice. I'm such a fool.
"No, no, it wasn't like that at all. I did not expect you to actually be this nice, being part of a Newlin and everything. I thought it was a façade you were putting on, but you were really as sweet and kind as Jason said you were. The whole time he defended you, and I should've listened to him. I hope we can still be friends, Annabel." she said sincerely, taking step forward. It felt a bit weird to have someone reply to my thoughts like that, but I could tell Sookie was a nice girl. She was only doing what Eric ordered her to do, so I guess it was ok. I let out sigh, smiling at her. I can't believe she is a mind reader, but I have a feeling things are going to get a lot more interesting as time goes on.
