Yay, got this done after massive writers block. Next chapter'll be up soon because I know where I'm going! (at least for the next few chapters... I still need to plan an ending... and a pairing... hmmm)

Sookie lit a candle in the living room as a flash of lightning streak out side. The power had gone out mid way through breakfast and it was dark with the thick clouds of the raging storm tearing away outside. Sookie had made served breakfast to Godric and Dante as well as herself. Just as the three of them began to eat in a tight silence, agreeing wordlessly to wait until after eating to talk, the power had died it a bright flash of lightning.

Now the three, plus Alabaster, were settling in the living room. Sookie and Godric settled on the couch, while Dante took an arm chair, Alabaster on his lap. Sookie crossed her legs and looked between Godric and Dante, Godric sat up straight but comfortably beside her, as did Dante across from her. They were looking at one another, and it seemed that once she got comfortable they began.

"What news have you?" Godric asked, his voice steady and unreadable as always.

Dante contemplated words for a moment, then went on, "She said she will recreate your old body, but she wants something in return." he said, speaking clearly even with his slight accent.

Godric tensed, Dante was the only wytch he'd ever trust, it was hard for him to trust another wytch with the task of creating his body but the idea of him having to make a trade with a wytch made his skin tighten. He didn't like it at all, "What is it Lev seeks?" he asked finally.

"Lev wishes to have the body you are in now, as a vampire." Dante said, slowly. Sookie's eyes went wide and she looked at Godric, alarmed.

Godric stared at Dante, "I will not accept these terms." Godric stated.

"Lev said you would say that, she also said you would feel differently after leaving his body. Lev says being inside him has already created the bond a maker and child has between you two. She told me to tell you this." Dante stated.

"Even if I were to make Spencer my child, I would not leave him in the hands of a wytch. It would hurt us both greatly." was Godric's reply.

Dante nodded, he seemed as if he knew this all already and was only going about this because Lev had told him too, "Perhaps it is possible for Lev and myself to meet and discuss this?" Godric questioned..

Dante nodded, " Perhaps. I will inquire this to her. I should tell her you are unwilling to meet these terms and wish to speak with her then?" he asked.

"Yes." Godric nodded, Dante nodded as well then glanced out the window. His expression made it seem as if the prospect of going out in the raging storm didn't quite appeal to him. He frowned slightly.

"Dante, if you want you can stay until the storm passes." Sookie said, she didn't quiet like Dante but she wouldn't force him to brave the storm. Especially if he was trying to help Godric.

Dante looked at her for a moment, a sly smile slipping onto his face that made her almost regret her invitation, but as long as Godric was here she was sure she was safe. Even if Godric didn't have all the vampire ability he used to, Dante seemed to respect him greatly. Sookie felt eternally safe in his presence. Dante nodded, "I think I will thanks." he said, relaxing more into the chair he was seated in, and stroking Alabaster behind the ears.

Sookie stood after a few minutes, calling both Dante and Godrics' eyes to her, "I'm gonna go shower…" she said. Godric relaxed back into his seat, while Dante's eyes danced with the thoughts zipping through his head, Sookie missed this and when she turned her back Godric shot him a look.

Sookie went up stairs turned the bath on instead of the shower, filling it with steamy water, her muscles were still aching from over working them and she hoped a hot bath would solve this. Too bad she couldn't afford a massage, because she could really use one.

Sookie stripped down and slipped into the steaming water that was nearly too hot and sighed, it felt good to be off her feet. While she soaked, she couldn't stop her mind from wondering back to Bill again. She really missed him, she hoped he was okay. She wondered if he missed her as much as she missed him, she hoped he was alright enough to spend energy on missing her.

She felt a tear slid down her cheek, and another and another and before she new it she was full on crying. She crossed her arms on the side of the tub and buried her face in them as she sobbed. She hadn't realized she'd been holding in and ignoring all this sadness, fronting for everyone and now that she was alone it was all coming out.

Sookie cried for a long time, then pulled herself from the tub. She toweled off and dressed, then left the bath room to her room and threw herself on the bed. She cried her self to sleep after a while and slept out the storm.

Godric woke Sookie a while after the storm at Dusk. He said he name softly and carefully shook her shoulder. He'd heard her crying the whole time and figured she need the space, also he had private things that he and Dante needed to discuss so he left her to fend for herself. Now he was carefully waking her, knowing she'd never sleep tonight and be tired for tomorrow if she slept to much.

"Bill?" She asked, her voice confused and sleepy.

"I am afraid not." he replied, as she blinked open her eyes.

"Godric… how long was I asleep?" She asked, more awake now.

He shrugged, "A while now." he said.

Sookie nodded and moved to sit up wincing as aching pain shot through back, it had been stiff and sore before, and now she'd slept with it at a bad angle and it actually hurt. Godric noticed her discomfort, "What is wrong?" he asked.

"Noting, my backs just a little stiff." she said, smiling to enforce it. Godric didn't believe her, and he mad this clear. After much slightly childish bickering he got her to lay back down and let him rub her back from her. He straddled her carefully and began to work out knots in her shoulders, then slowly and effectively started working his way down.

As he did this, neither of them noticed it was dark out until Eric was in the room with them, and seeing them like this Godric could tell he wanted to kill him. He could feel is child's bitter rage as he worked out another knot in Miss Stackhouse's back. Sookie looked over realizing Eric was there.

"Eric?" she questioned, confused.

Eric forced his eyes to look around from Godric and meet Sookie's, "I wanted to be sure you and Godric were well." he said, even though it had been pure jealousy that had dragged him here truly. He could practically feel Godric's hands on his back as well.

"Wouldn't you feel it if something bad happened to me?" Sookie question.

Eric paused for a moment, watching as Godric shifted to get at the lowest point of her back, "So I would…" he said slowly.

"Then what are you doing?" Sookie asked, Eric felt himself twitch inside, jealously eating at his self control, even though he knew he'd never be able to attack Godric. He didn't answer and watched as Godric unstraddled her and moved again, so he was sitting up with his legs under hers. He worded at the tense muscles of her right leg.

He knew Sookie's body was under a lot of stess he could feel it, he also knew Godric knew what he was doing. When he had first been changed, and was stressed and confused and scared, unable to sleep even with approaching daylight, and a temptation to go and meet the sun when it was daylight, Godric had done this for him. It was almost as if he was working all the negative energy out of his body and he woke the next night with a new found enthusiasm for life.

Godric's hands were miracle workers, and he could feel them having the same effect on Sookie as they had had on him. Her earlier distress had woken him from his sleep, and he hadn't been able to come to her. Now he could feel all the negative feelings being worked out of her, as her body relaxed. Despite all of this, it bothered him to have Godric touching her. He wondered if Godric could feel this as he once would have been able too.

"We had word from Dante about Lev." Godric said finally.

"What does he say?" Eric asked, trying to pull his mind from the extreme jealousy.

Godric scooted over, and was working as her feet now, "He says Lev will recreate my body, in exchange for a vampire Spencer." he stated.

"And what did you say?" he asked.

"I told him I would not agree to this. He is going to try and arrange a meeting between Lev and I." Godric told him.

"Why would you not agree?" Eric questioned.

Godric switched feet, "I do not wish to make Spencer as vampire, and even if I did, I would never be able to leave a child of mine at the mercy of a wytch." Godric responded, rubbing the sole of Sookie's foot.

Eric nodded, knowing this was true. Godric would never subject him to the mercy of a wytch, it would hurt Godric every bit as much as it hurt him. He watched as Godric finshed with Sookie's feet and let the rest on his lap.

"Better?" he asked, Sookie drew her feet away from him and sat up, then stood and stretched luxuriously.

"Much better, thanks Godric. You're amazing." Sookie beamed at him, and just like that Eric felt jealousy leak back into his veins. He felt a light bit of weight fall on his shoulder and found a grey creature there just as it leap to Godric's lap.

It was Alabaster, and he had a violet envelope with Godric's name on it.

Like is said before, new chapter in like a one or two days maybe tomorrow(7/18/10) but it'll be soon. Now I've got homework to attend too... even though I probably won't even touch it and will probably avoid it some more... Anyway, thanks for reading. Oh and feel free to input your opinion (again if you have already) on who Sookie should be with, because I- well I'm not gonna say who I like her with because the would be bias. Also, I'm not the one reading this so let me know what you guys want okay?
