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 11

My attention was drawn to Eric I had been so engrossed that I hadn't notice him rise.

"I sure am glad I agreed to it now though" She smiled at me, so quick to see the silver lining.

"As am I, Ma Petite, As am I." I kissed her and I poured all my feelings for her into it. She cut her tongue again and I groaned and let her feel what she did to me by grinding up into her. The shutters lowered on the house and I knew our time to talk was coming to an end.

"The others are up and I believe Eric may have overheard our conversation. He seems more contemplative than usual especially for first thing."

"You can feel him?"

"Yes Makers and progeny can feel each others emotions it is much like the blood bond I was describing but more powerful and as his Maker I am dominant; he must obey my commands."

"That's terrible!"

"But necessary I'm sure this arose from the need to teach the newborn vampire to feed and control their instincts so as to not be discovered. Unfortunately some makers such as you have seen abuse this power over their progeny terribly. This is not something that I have had to use with Eric for many centuries and even then he learnt quickly. In fact I believe most times since those very first years have been merely to get a reaction from me." I cut my eyes to the door as it opened to reveal Eric.

"Master you know me so well," he seemed perturbed that I would share such information about him with another. I invited him forward and he appeared next to us on the bed startling Sookie. He had curled his larger frame around us and his head was resting on my shoulder. I turned my head and he automatically raised his face to mine, the kiss was short and punctuated by a rapid increase in Sookie's heart rate. For Eric and I it was a sign of the trust and love we have for each other. It seemed that now that I have found my soul mate Eric was filled with uncertainty and concern.

"Jag älskar er båda, min son. Tvivla aldrig på din plats med mig." I attempted to comfort him.

"Hon lockar fara för henne som en siren" Although she couldn't understand our conversation she was picking up on the tone.

"I don't want to come between you," she seemed so unsure of herself.

"And you won't, Eric knows this" I said to assure them both. "Has the Queen discovered that Bill is missing?"

"I'm not sure, it would be best if we located him before that can happen lest she act on her displeasure." He shuddered Sophie Anne was known for her creative punishments.

"I'm sure that she will be distracted by Magnus and the Authority, possibly even dethroned." I thought back to my message and felt it should buy us the time needed to discover Bill's whereabouts.

"I can't believe he is still causing issues even now that he is gone." Sookie complained, "How can I help?"

"No Ma Petite I won't have you put in harms way we have other ways to retrieve him."

I looked to Eric who begrudgingly added: "Godric is right there is no need to involve you." He rose from the bed after giving us both steady looks and squeezing my thigh gently. "I need to get started on the search I will keep you apprised." And he was gone. Jessica was milling around so we needed to make our way out into the world and deal with our responsibilities even if all I wanted was to stay right here and taste every inch of her.

"We should get up, Jessica seems to be at a lost as to what to do with the TV."

"I can't blame her I couldn't figure it out either." She snickered and crawled out of my lap and off the bed, she fixed her clothes and I kissed her neck and patted her ass before sauntering into the bathroom to shower. I showered and changed quickly and found both girls in the kitchen having given up on the entertainment system.

"Jessica I need for you to help Eric with his search for your Maker, you should be able to feel his presence through your bond and even if he released you your Maker can still call you and compel you."

"I think he closes off our bond at most times. I have only felt glimpses mostly when he was angry with me. I can not feel him though I did feel something odd the other night it was like nothing I've ever felt it made me shiver."

"Did you feel a location associated with that feeling?" She seemed to think for a moment.

"Yes I think."

"Okay well have Eric start there, he is in his study." She left in search of Eric.

"I need to get home sometime I have so much work to do, Gran would be rolling in her grave if she knew I left it this long."

"I will accompany you, if you like. I believe I can show you some shortcuts." I smiled thinking about all the things I could teach her.

"Okay it's a good thing I had today off, I have to work a double tomorrow though." I worked hard to not let my face fall at hearing that she would be debasing herself by serving the patrons of the shifters bar.

"Shall we?" I gestured towards the garage and as she decided on jeans again tonight I decided to take one of the bikes. Her heart rate jumped and sped up the minute I straddled the black Yamaha, I looked into her eyes and they were filled with lust. "See something you like?" I teased her. She nodded and took my outstretched hand. I lowered the passenger foot pegs and warned her not to touch her legs to any part of the bike, as it would burn her. She hugged me tight and I opened the throttle slower than usual and we left Eric's and were soon driving down her rutted driveway.

The meat statue was still standing a silent sentinel on her lawn and the home seemed abandoned. We walked up the back steps and over the threshold, as I suspected I didn't need an invitation. I let my senses sharpen and made sure that we were alone, finding no one but the normal flora and fauna around for miles.

"We must work to repair this soon, I can show you how to reverse the magic the maenad used and return your home to its previous state of being."

"I think we should start with the monstrosity outside and of course make sure the windows and doors are still sound." She suggested practically.

"Alright I have some ideas and I think this is a perfect time to practice your powers. I checked no one is around." We made our way through the house and out the front door, the porch was unsound so I took her by the waist and we hovered the rest of the way. I set her down a ways back from the statue and turned her to face me, I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of her nose crinkled up at the smell. "I am sorry but your just too cute." I kissed her on the tip of her nose.

"I want you to think back to when you first triggered your light what were you feeling? Your powers are triggered by your emotions, especially your defensive ones."

"Well I was scared and angry, Marianne was telling me to leave her house and Bill was throwing up black blood after biting her."

"Such a fool," I said under my breath. "Alright try and recreate those feeling and aim them towards the statue. She stepped away and closed her eyes for a moment, then they snapped open and her hands started to glow and blue light shot towards the statue. It was strong enough to topple it but as soon as it moved she stopped.

"Very good Sookie, it will get easier to use with practice you won't need to concentrate so much." It would be good to find out which element she favoured. "Lets try something else something a bit different." I pulled her a few paces away and pulled her down to sit cross-legged facing each other but kept her hands in mine.

"I mentioned being part fire faery, this is but one element, the others are earth, sky, and water. All Fae have an affinity for one or more of these depending on their heritage." I centered my being and pushed my Vampire nature down and fought to bring my Fae to the surface, this isn't something I did often it took a lot of energy to maintain and would alert others to my heritage.

I could hear Sookie gasp and I knew I was successful. I opened my eyes and released one hand and willed a ball of fire into existence and let it grow then I threw it at the statue. Her eyes widened at the sight and she tightened her grip on my other hand.

"Your beautiful," her voice was quiet and her free hand moved to caress my cheek.

"The others are in some ways more difficult the water element is present most everywhere and those who command it can hold sway over those who depend on it. Earth Fae are known for their affinity with nature and are often healers. The Sky Fae are associated with the sun, moon and stars and hold sway over the air, and just as Zeus is known for his affinity to lightening that is also an element associated with the Sky Fae. I want you to close your eyes and take slow deep breaths, concentrate look deep within yourself."

I let my energy flow into her from our connected hands. I watched as she began to glow brighter and her hair began to move as if lifted on a breeze.

"You're looking for your spark, that place within yourself that contains your dormant magic. You'll know when you find it, it will call out to you." I could feel her energy being passed back to me through our hands it was strong, I sent her another wave to both encourage and teach her.

I heard her heart beat begin to slow and along with her breath stop for a moment, then her eyes snapped open and she inhaled a huge breath. The air around us felt charged and it became denser I noticed dark clouds forming overhead, when all of a sudden the sky opened and rain fell along with lightening which hit the meat statue several times. I smiled widely at her knowing that she had found her Sky Fae spark and was showing off a bit.

Her lightening had reignited the already smoldering statue so I pulled us upright and sent another few fireballs to other areas to help it along. I pulled her into a tight embrace. "I am so proud of you Ma Petite most take many tries to find their spark when they come of age." I pulled her towards the house and we again hovered over the destroyed porch.

"What else can you do?"

"There is much to teach you, but we must go slow its very draining." I reverted to my Vampire state and we went about the house securing it. I quickly repaired any window or door that was broken using a simple charm, which I taught Sookie. She was fascinated and used it on some of the broken and burnt photos, which we found in the fireplace. Just as I warned her she began to feel drained and tired quickly. We had successfully reclaimed the home and it was already responding as if she were the owner again when we tested if I could enter without an invitation. I made sure to keep the fire going outside as we worked inside and soon the statue was ash.

"Why don't you call the wind and disperse it little one?"

"Okay I'll try." She again closed her eyes to concentrate and soon the wind picked up and spread the ash.

"Good job! Now with that gone, I want to call someone to fix the porch and help with the removal of all the mud and broken furniture. It's the least I can do after I blasted through your porch."

"Alright but all I want is for you to help, its my home and so its my responsibility to fix it." I was relieved that she was even allowing me to help; I have seen how stubborn she is. I took out my phone and called Eric.

"Do you have the number for someone that could fix up Sookie's place? The Maenad did a number on it; mostly cleaning mud from nearly every surface and disposing of broken items. Also some damage was sustained which needs repairing."

"I am glad you called Master I wanted to give you an update, we found Bill's car along with dead Weres. Master they have the brand. It seems the vehicle left the road for some reason, they had already traveled into Mississippi though and there is no sign of him in the immediate area. As for the repairs I do know of someone who owes me a favour or two. I will text you his information." He hung up and I received a text momentarily. I hope that Eric isn't blinded by quest to find the owner of said Were's. I called the number and a gruff voice answered.

"Hello?"

"Yes. Is this Alcide Herveaux?"

"Speaking." I have never understood this custom, no matter.

"Eric Northman gave me your information, I am calling with a job for you, I have a home which needs to be repaired. Can I text you the address?"

"Uh sure, when do you need me?"

"Right now would be good, how soon can you make it to Bon Temps?"

"It'll take about an hour to get out there."

"In that case meet me at the local bar and grill Merlottes, do you know the place?"

"Yeah sure, I'll be there." I ended the call and pocketed my phone.

"I thought we might need to get some fuel into you after all this practicing, and since your place is still not really fit…"

"Are you sure you don't mind? I know you probably don't like..."

"Don't worry about it Ma Petite, it doesn't bother me enough that you need change your behaviour. Lets head over there, yes." We walked hand in hand to the bike and within minutes we were parking in the back parking lot where her scent was strongest.

"This is exactly where I always park when I work?" She said questioningly, and I just tapped my nose and smiled while I took her hand and we walked in the back door and into the bar. Everyone stopped and stared at us the minute we crossed the threshold from the hallway to the bar. Her hand gripped mine tighter and I guessed that she was adjusting to the onslaught of thoughts. Sam immediately noticed us and called her over, his expression was angry. I kissed her hand and gave her a wink and walked over to the bar where Jason was sitting surrounded by women.

"Hey Godric," he said in friendly greeting and somehow rearranged the women so that I could sit with him without any complaints. I wondered at this briefly.

"How are you this evening Jason?" I asked while I observed the patrons gawk at us.

"Oh good I guess and how are things?"

"They are good just now, your sister is going to let me help her with the repairs to Gran's house." I told him with no small amount of pride.

"You're shitting me!" As suspected he knew how difficult a task this would have been.

"Yes we are meeting someone here later, Eric recommended him." I was keeping an eye out for Sookie and the conversation she was having with her boss Sam in his office. When the level of their voices was starting to rise to where they would soon to be shouting at each other. "If you'll excuse me I'll be right back." I sped to the office and entered without knocking and wrapped my arm around Sookie. "Enough can't you see how tired she is? We came here for dinner not to argue with you."

"Sam if you can't be happy for me when I am then your not the kind of friend that I really need are you!" I waited until she made a move to leave not wanting to interfere more than I already had. We walked back out into the bar and I led her over to her brother, who had moved to a booth and gotten rid of the ladies. We sat opposite him and a red haired waitress came over to take our order.

"Hey Arlene, I'll have a burger Lafayette and a gin and tonic please." Sookie ordered for herself and looked to me.
"A true blood, any flavour please." It amused me that she didn't realize that I was Vampire until then; I could tell by her startled expression. She brought the drinks quickly and Jason raised his glass to ours and I drank mine in a few gulps.

"I've always wanted to ask, is that stuff any good?" Jason asked nodding at the empty bottle in front of me.

"It's barely passable but it does the trick, I would liken it to the food available at convenience stores."

"Oh yuck."

"Jason!" Sookie scolds her brother just as Arlene returns with Sookie's burger and I take the opportunity to pass her the empty bottle and order another.

"It's alright, I suppose he is right, Ma Petite." I smile at them and kiss her cheek. Jason talks about nothing important and I throw in a few words here and there as Sookie eats. I drink the next blood just as quickly and start to feel at little better. It's been years since I needed this much blood but I have ignored my heritage and hidden my powers for centuries as well. I smell the Were the moment he set foot in the door. He looked around and zeroed in on our table.

"You called about some repairs that you needed done?" I gestured for Jason to let him sit on the other side with him.

"Yes thank you for meeting us here, have a drink if you wish we'll leave as soon as Sookie is finished.

"Hi, I'm Sookie Stackhouse, and that's my brother Jason, your Alcide Herveaux?" Arlene saw him join us and came over to take his order so Jason and I both ordered another drink.

"Nice to meet you." He shook hands with both. And Sookie went back to her food.

"Herveaux of Herveaux and Sons? The surveying company?"

"Ah yes, I'm the son." Arlene brought our drinks I couldn't help but notice her envy aimed at her Sookie and Sam's death glares while he listened to our conversation from the bar. Alcide raises his eyebrow at the sight of our cheers, which Jason seems to do as a ritual with each new drink. Both siblings seem much more at ease with the supernatural than most Humans are.

"Well it's nice ta meet cha, I've thought a bunch of times that I might see if you guys had any openings."

"Where do you work now?"

"I've been the supervisor on the road crew for the Parish for a couple of years now."

"Well I guess we should head out then." Sookie spoke up as she finished her burger and drink. Alcide took another big mouthful of beer and stood up. We said our goodbyes to Jason who was still angling for a job and made our way out the front door.

"Our bike is parked around back just follow us, its not far."

"Alright." And he climbed into his large Dodge pickup, which had Herveaux and Sons on the side. We walked around back hand in hand.

"He's like Sam right?"

"Similar Sam is actually quite unique in that he can shift into any animal, whereas Alcide must take the form of a wolf, they alone call themselves Were, there are other types known as were-animals according to the animal they become."

"Oh wow what kinds are there?"

"Weres are the most common but there are were-bears, were-panthers, were-foxes."

We mount the bike and I made sure Alcide was following before I took off towards Sookie's.

"I think I will need to get this driveway of yours sorted out if I'm going to ride this bike here very often." I tell her half jokingly as we dismount behind her home. She only swatted at my shoulder and we walked over to Alcide's truck.

The moment he took a breath his eyes widened. "What happened here?" He was looking between us both quickly then he slowly took in the house in all its mud-covered glory.

"Just wait till you see the front and inside." Sookie joked. "A Maenad took up residence while I was out of town but she's gone now and I need to reclaim the house. My Grans probably spinning in her grave at the thought of her house in such a state." She started to walk into the house through the back door and we followed. Alcide took in the destruction quietly but when we got to the front porch his eyes widened noticeably.

"Well that's gonna take a bit to repair looks like it might have damaged the structure." Sookie started to snicker and we both turned to look at her questions in our eyes.

"Sorry, he's thinking of things that might have done the damage and he's got a really vivid imagination is all." Now Alcide was even more intrigued not having known about her telepathy. "Yes I can hear what your thinking."

"That's not something you hear everyday." He blurts out.

"Telepathy is a very rare gift." I tell them and Sookie blushes delicately.

"Well I think I'll bring is a special crew for this job." Alcide was looking nervous and avoiding eye contact with Sookie, which made her clench her hands.

"Yes I think using a Two-Natured crew for this is wise. I would like to see this done quickly."

"Hey I thought you were going to help me with this not take over." Sookie huffs.
