I don't own anything I am just taking the characters for a walk.
A/N I have always thought that Allen Ball made a terrible mistake killing off Godric. This is what I think should have happened. I am going to try and follow the seasons as close as possible even with the changes I have made. Thanks for all the reviews and story follows it's super flattering- keep em coming : )
Chapter 10
I reached out for my phone which I had placed on the bedside table after I texted Eric earlier and emailed Bobby - Eric's day guy.
Bobby,
Eric and I have a guest staying with us for whom I would like you to purchase food for. You should also acquire the appropriate cooking utensils as needed and enough staples and fresh food for a least a week. Shop for someone who cooks and bakes most meals from scratch: get help if needed. Also purchase a coffee maker and the requisite premium coffee as well as a variety of teas. Make sure to have these items here well before noon.
Godric
I sent the email and absently looked through my own messages forwarding anything Sheriff related that came to me erroneously to Isobel. I also penned a harshly worded email to the Authority about Magnus's actions this evening. Between the immature blood-dealing Monarchs and off book Magesters I was almost nostalgic for last week's shrill AVL spokeswoman. I returned my phone to the bedside table.
I longed for the old days; things were so much simpler under the council of supernaturals. But ever since the last Great War most of the beings that were able had hidden themselves away in their own realms thus dissolving the council. Now it was just the Two-Natured and Vampire. The level of cohesion in their community allowed our race to run roughshod over them with hardly any real resistance. Most packs had some agreement with their area's Vampires for security and some were even addicted to our blood.
I settled closer to Sookie her body heat warming me and kissed her softly on the top of her head. "Goodnight Ma Petite."
"Goodnight Godric," she murmured almost incoherently as I fell to my rest for the day.
I awoke in much the same position but without Sookie in my arms. At first I was panicked that something had happened to her, but I could hear that she was in the house. Then I realized that the sun had not set and I did not reminder her that I rose a couple of hours before dusk. I waited not so patiently listening to Sookie move about the house. By the sounds and smells of things she was in the kitchen. I could smell coffee, toasted pine nuts and the sweet smell of balsamic, olive oil and thyme roasted together. Then I got a waft of roasted chicken; I could hear the sizzle as if I were in the same room. I listened as she rushed around slicing and mixing ingredients furiously until I could hear nothing but her moans of enjoyment and crunching as she ate.
The sounds she was making were causing me to become painfully aroused. I let my hand drift under the covers and encircle my cock. I stoked myself while I let my imagination drift to Sookie moaning while she took me into her mouth. Suddenly her movements quickened again and it seemed she was cleaning up much too quickly for my tastes. The sounds died down and I tracker her heart beat and small footsteps to just outside the door. I smiled at the gasp she let out in her surprise at seeing me awake. Her hand flew to her breast and I sat up and beckoned her forward.
She slowly made her way to the bed and as soon as she was within my grasp I snatched her up and placed her next to me and leaned into her while I captured her mouth in a heated kiss. I tasted more ingredients mixed in with those I had smelt: goat cheese, kalamata olives and fresh spinach.
"Mmm, you taste exquisite Ma Petite - a chicken spinach salad - am I right?"
"Yes, wow you can tell all that from one kiss?"
"Well some I could smell and hear you make the others yes from the kiss."
"You don't mind? I thought vampires didn't like human food?"
"I suppose there are some who dislike a few smells or tastes just as most humans, I do not like the smell of most of the fast restaurant food items and some Asian foods can be quite pungent."
"I know what you mean about the fast food smells I have to shower and change after my shift and I hardly ever eat fast food, I like to cook. Gran taught me, we used to cook and bake all the time together."
"Well I'm glad you got the chance to make something here."
"Yes, I think I was the first to cook anything in that kitchen it's huge and such a waste with no one to use it. I was startled to find it so full of food when I woke. I know you said there would be food but…. I think someone when a little over board." I started to kiss down her neck and I pressed my nose into the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply and moaned. My hands found their way inside her shirt and I pulled and pinched her nipples through her bra while the other unfastened it with a flick of my wrist. I pushed the fabric up and cupped her breast in my hand firmly while I drug my thumb over her erect nipple roughly. She arched her back pressing further into my hand and moaned.
She used her nails as her hands roamed my back and up into my short hair which she used to pull me to her mouth. She was wearing far to many clothes for my liking but I knew I should take things slow there was still so much we needed to talk about and I didn't want her to think that I took advantage of her or lied to her like that fool Compton. I rolled onto my back and pulled her with me without breaking the kiss. I let my hands wander over every square inch of her body that I could reach. When she deliberately cut her tongue again I couldn't stop the low steady growl while I sucked on her tongue prolonging the trickle of her sweet blood into my mouth. After she cut her tongue twice and the wound healed I pulled away I looked deep into her big brown lust filled eyes which I'm sure mirrored my own gray ones.
"You drive me crazy with lust little one I want you so bad," I punctuated my statement by grinding my erection into her core. "But there is so much we need to discuss first and I don't want to push you." I released her tresses that I had tangled in my grasp and let my hands drift up and down her back slowly. We slowly calmed down still wrapped in each other's arms.
"What am I?"
"I'm afraid my answer won't be as straight forward as you might hope." I pulled us upright and leaned against the headboard with her between my thighs. I put my mouth to her ear and spoke very quietly. "From what I have observed since I have met you, as well as my many centuries of experience, I believe you to be a hybrid of a few races. One I believe to be Fae the other I suspect is divine though I am not sure as to which God or Goddess yet and of course human though to what degree I'm not sure of that either."
She turned and straddled my legs so that she could whisper back. "You mean like Tinker Bell? Gods and Goddesses?"
"The Fae are nothing like Disney movies or fairy tales make them out to be. Faeries are beautiful yes but cunning and very deadly and extremely magical. There are many different kinds of Fae, tinker bell would be similar to a sprite in stature but not in demeanor."
"And the God's and Goddesses? I guess your not talking about God like in the Christian bible."
"No I'm not Ma Petite." I listened carefully to our surroundings to see if anyone might overhear our conversation. Hearing no one even Eric had yet to rise. I leant in close and whispered in her ear, "the reason I am able to discern your heritage is it is similar to my own before I was turned of course." I quickly put my fingers to her lips. "My father is Hades and my mother a fire faery. I have never told anyone this even Eric. I believe my Maker suspected at least the Fae but he met his true death less than a decade after I was turned." I watched her face closely as each emotion passed over it quickly. "He was even older than I am now when he made found me, I was gravely wounded during one of the many Great Wars that have raged between the races over the years. Most of the other races have gone into hiding. And now it is just Vampire, the Two-Natured and Humans."
"How do they fit in? Sam, my boss, he's Two-Natured and he and Bill do not get along."
"Even though they are able to move about during the day and in numbers can easily overpower a Vampire, they are not as organized as Vampire and so they are relegated to second class citizens barely above Human. Vampires have been for all our weaknesses the strongest supernatural race for centuries. And now that we are able to live out in the open our confidence in our superiority seems to have increased. But enough about all this depressing talk about politics and wars. Did you think about what I told you about blood bonds while I slept?" I smirked just thinking about bonding with her.
"Yes I did and I have some questions. But first I want thank you for letting me think this over during the day. I really appreciate your advice about not being able to trust my emotions at night or while asleep."
"Of course Ma Petite you can take as long as you need." I kissed her lips gently.
"I was wondering if the blood bond might affect my abilities?"
"It's possible, did you notice any change after the blood you have already had?"
"Yes although, I also started actively using my telepathy instead of only working to block everything out around the same time. But I think I noticed a change, especially with my shields."
"Is that what concerns you? That you might not be able to block everything out if it where to increase?"
"Yes I suppose as well as… well I think it would be dangerous to hear Vampire minds. Right?"
"Well I suppose… first off I think your shields would increase in direct proportion and as for hearing Vampires. I think that with a little practice you could get used to that and no one would be the wiser for your very strategic gift." I winked at her and smiled a genuine smile, which she returned.
She leant in close and whispered, "I've heard a few snippets before." She pulled away to gauge my reaction.
"Who have you heard?" I was a little worried but I really had nothing to hide from her I would have to be more careful.
"Eric just once when we were first negotiating terms for the trip to Dallas. He was thinking that he could threaten my family or Bill to get me to agree to anything but that he wanted to keep things above board now that you all are out in the open."
"Why did you come to Dallas then?" I have been curious after seeing their relationship.
"Well I made a deal with him I would go to Dallas and find you if in exchange he let one of my friends go, he was holding him in the basement for dealing V."
"I see," well not really, why would Eric keep a V dealer and then let him go? Maybe this is the human he mentioned glamouring the other night?
