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 12
I stood there staring for a moment and noticed that Alcide was also at a loss for how to respond to her sudden outburst. I thought back over the past few days to see if I could determine the source of her impulsive and dismissive disposition. I suppose we stayed silent long enough that she realized her mistake.
"I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me. Please continue I believe you were going to tell us how long the repairs might take." She looked at me briefly then put her hands in her pockets and then lowered her head.
Alcide turned back to me and spoke; "I can have a crew out here tomorrow morning and be done before the end of the week. I think I've seen everything so if I can get the key I'll be on my way." I couldn't blame him for wanting to get out of here the tension was palpable. Sookie went to the kitchen and rummaged through one of the drawers and came back with a single key and deposited it into his hand. "Alright well I will keep you posted on the progress and if anything comes up during the day I'll need a number to call." Sookie gave him her number and mumbled something about wanting to save as much as possible. He turned towards the back door and left.
"Godric I'm sorry it's like I wasn't myself for a moment, I know it's no excuse and I'm sorry if I embarrassed you." I thought about her phrasing for a moment and a light bulb went on.
"I understand and don't worry it would take more than that to embarrass me. I was simply wondering where your outburst was coming from."
"You and me both I hate this sometimes I feel like I am PMSing all the time. Until you told me about the effect of Vampire blood I was thinking about going to see a doctor."
"I believe his goal is to isolate you, and keep you off balance so that you wouldn't question any inconsistencies." Her chin started to tremble, and her eyes filled with tears and slowly they started to fall then faster. She wrapped her arms around her body and turned and walked into the kitchen slowly and stood and stared at the floor. I made her cry again… I sped after her into the kitchen appearing in front of her but she pulled me to her side and wrapped her arm around my waist her eyes still on the floor. As I pulled her into my body she started to sob harder I just couldn't win.
"It's all my fault… I… oh my god…Gran… she didn't have die like that… Jason was right." Her knees buckled and I hoisted her into my arms and held her close. I rubbed her back and tried to think of anything that would make her feel better but if what she said was true I could see why she would be destroyed. Bill may very well have been involved in her Gran's death. "I should have known… I wasn't even interested at first… he was just so quiet…" she was hiccupping and breathing erratically.
"Shhh it's not your fault… shhh… shhh." Maybe some fresh air would help, I made sure to grab her purse and made my way slowly outside locking the door behind us. I considered leaving the bike and flying back to Eric's. The night was still young and this was her home so I lowered us to the grass and we sat our limbs entwined. I began to mediate and focus on my own spark; I felt it come alive with a burst. I focused on sending soothing, calming waves into her. Her spark responded and the wind started whipping around us, rain started to fall though it did not touch us. She lifted her head from my shoulder and her eyes were still full of pain. "You need to channel this and use it, don't let him win little one. Fight back your stronger that he is." I could see the doubt and questions in her eyes and the rain stopped and the wind slowed to a calm breeze.
"You are so beautiful your glow is different and your skin its warm and tanned like mine." She traced my tattoos with her fingers.
"It takes energy to maintain and I'm out of practice, after I was turned I lost myself in the blood. And during the subsequent centuries I thought about my old life less and less."
"Do you miss them? Your family or people from when you were alive?"
"Sometimes but its been so long and moreover I have a new family with Eric, Pam and now you."
"Thank you I feel better, and I feel connected to everything, I feel as if, if I weren't anchored here by you I would disappear."
"It can be a little overwhelming the sudden increase in power and the changes that take place to accommodate it. Usually you are guided and trained by members of your family whose affinity is to the same elements. Our elements are opposite and as such we charge each other powerfully."
"What other things do you think I could do? And what about you?"
"Well I have the ability to sharpen my senses expanding the range and depth far beyond Vampires or the Fae. I can teleport although it is not the same as most Fae – this is what caused the damage to your front porch – I teleported to the underworld with the Maenad."
"Wow do you think that I could do that too?"
"With practice yes, as well you should focus on mental abilities such as your telepathy, and of course the Sky elements."
"What do you mean mental abilities?"
"Some are able to conjure items, there is also telekinesis, and have you ever attempted to send thoughts or control someone's mind?"
'You mean like this?' I heard her inside my mind.
"Yes Ma Petite just like that, very well done." I kissed her passionately. We were disrupted by my phone ringing: it was Eric.
"Master, the Queen was just here, more than likely she is wondering why the Majister didn't arrest me. She claims to be looking for Compton though she still wouldn't say why it was so important to retrieve him. During our search we found some disturbing research on Sookie, it seems he was researching her family tree. Jessica hasn't gotten anything more and so we are left with a vague location of Mississippi."
"Keep looking, someone had to have seen something." I hung up the phone agitated by the conversation. Sookie sent a surge of calm so strong that it completely settled my being.
"I can feel the magic inherent in the property and air around us, there is also something residual its familiar somehow, when I reach out to it, it recognizes me."
"I was wondering about that, I'm glad you recognize it. I believe your home may have had some sort of protection ward placed by family but the wards are no longer in place. We can tap into them and revive them." I reached out and sent my magic into Sookie then into the magic present around us. "You have to focus on the intent with extreme clarity. Focus all your energy on warding against those who wish you harm." A simple ward really, but something more complex would take more time and energy than we had this night. I knew she was successful when a brilliant purple dome appeared above us surrounding the home and property. It pulsed with energy and as I looked closer I noticed that there were in fact two domes one blue and one red. "There are two wards?"
"Well first I focused on recreating the existing ward and then once that was done I added one with you in mind. Anyone wishing you harm won't be able to enter the property."
"You learn so quickly… you're certain that there is nothing in the ward that would be harmful? No trips or loopholes?"
"Trips?"
"Well some wards are in place to warn of entry or displacement to the warded place or object." She closed her eyes in concentration and when she snapped them open and looked wide eyed at me then looked sharply to the right I turned my head and noticed two tall Fae one female one male with long dark hair near the entrance to the graveyard. She turned to follow my line of sight and drew in a sharp breath at the sight of them. Suddenly there was a third Fae an older male with silvery blond hair with a cane just behind them. I pulled her up with me and only kept hold of her hand. The threesome walked slowly toward us and I kept my magic close to the surface waiting for some sign that they were friend or foe. I was torn between wanting to know more and needing to get her to safety.
"Hello Susanna, I have long wanted to meet you." His voice triggered a memory.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Your are blood of my blood, I would know you anywhere." Ah kin but what are their intentions and why have they waited until now to show themselves?
"Hello, I'm Claudine, this is my brother Claude were your cousins."
"And I am your Great-Grandfather, Prince Niall Brigant of the Sky Fae." Oh great.
"Well its nice to meet you, I'm Sookie but I guess you all know that already and this is Godric." She turned to me as she said my name.
"Godric we thought you perished in the war, Sigrid was never the same after you disappeared right up until Persephone finally caught up to her." I felt my chest tighten at the mention of my mother's name. Hearing of her death so casually.
"I suppose we tripped something in the ward we resurrected?" I needed to move the conversation away from such painful memories and back to the present.
"The ward was placed originally by my son Fintan, your Grandfather and after he passed on to the Summerland's it fell dormant. I was alerted to the presence of his magic being revived as only someone of our bloodline could do."
"Speaking of blood, you're both surrounded by darkness." One of the twins spoke eying us suspiciously.
"Someone was sent to procure her for the Vampire Queen of Louisiana I have been helping her fight his influence and tap into her spark." Surely they knew of her plight being kin although time does flow differently in Faerun.
"How altruistic of you."
"I wanted to tell you in our own time however they have forced my hand: we are soul mates. She came to me a week ago and told me this herself." I looked into Sookie's eyes as I spoke trying to convey my sincerity.
"Well this complicates matters. You won't mind if we verify this do you?" Niall said.
"Of course not. I have nothing to hide." Niall said a few words and Sookie and I glowed brightly tinged with purple, which was a combined swirl of red and blue just like the wards. The magic lapped at our skin gently at first then it felt as if tiny electrodes were zipping through my bloodstream. It dissipated just as suddenly as it began leaving us both breathless.
"It seems you speak the truth. I will be in touch." And they popped out leaving the two of us standing staring into each other's eyes.
"What did you mean I came to you and told you we were soul mates?"
"When I stepped onto the roof in Dallas you appeared before me as you are now; beautiful and ethereal your hair blowing in a breeze of your creation. When you first appeared I mistook you for the sun your light was so bright and warm. You told me to stay, and to listen to your pleas, you also asked me to come between you and Compton and you warned me of his association with the Queen."
I watched her face closely to gauge her reaction. She seemed deep in thought, then she took hold of my hand and started walking towards the back of the house and didn't stop until we reached the bike. We again mounted the bike and she wrapped her arms tightly around my ribs. I drove slower than normal though still above the posted limit. I parked the bike in the garage and we dismounted and walked into the kitchen leaving our shoes by the door. She went straight to the fridge and started pulling out various items while I sat on one of the bar stools and watched her. She heated a royalty blended for me, which I drank quickly. She put together a sandwich and sat next to me and ate silently.
Halfway through her sandwich she rose and took out three bottles of blood and put them all in the microwave. Eric and Jessica arrived at the same moment the microwave dinged. She took them out and passed one to each of us and sat back down to finish her sandwich. Eric raised his eyebrow in question and I just shrugged.
"Godric I was wondering… if maybe I could try to feed off a live donor maybe soon…"
"I think we could work that in tomorrow, make sure you keep drinking the synthetic blend we have here so that you are never truly hungry. We don't want any accidents."
"Thank you, and I will." She skipped off into the living room and turned on the TV. Sookie was still quiet though she was now washing the dishes she used.
'Can we go to your room?' She thought to me, I smiled and nodded. Eric looked puzzled.
"We are retiring for the evening I will be joining you both at Fangtasia tomorrow evening." I told him as we made our way out of the kitchen and to my room. As soon as the door was closed she made her way into the bathroom and started stripping her clothes off and turning on the shower. I was spell bound at seeing her naked form the water flowing down over her smooth skin. I didn't even notice I had drifted closer until I was directly behind her reaching for the shampoo bottle that she had just retrieved and squirting some into my palm. I slowly massaged it into her scalp and through her long hair. I soaped my hands and massaged her shoulders and back then moved to her arms and legs after spending some time on her ass.
She turned and started washing me her hot little hands running over my skin sent a chill up my spine. She stepped closer pressing my cock between our stomachs and reached around to massage my ass. I leaned forward letting the water run through my hair and nuzzled her neck I let my tongue dart out and languidly explored her neck and collar bone. Still lower I wrapped my lips around her nipple and used my teeth gently alternating with hard and soft licks causing her to moan and arch her back bearing her neck further and pushing her hips into mine. I let my hands wander and then I pulled her up by the backs of her legs just under her ass and went back to her lips. Our tongues danced and I pushed her back up against the tiles. She hissed at the cold temperature and I moved to her neck again. My fangs were itching with want my cock throbbed with need. She reached between us and stroked me softly at first then firmer. Her legs gripped my sides and our hips thrust against one another mindlessly.
I turned off the water and set her down only long enough to grab a towel and dry her. I scoped her back up and placed her in the middle of the bed and slowly explored her body with my eyes and tongue. I nipped and licked at her neck and breasts, slowly dragging my fangs along her skin and then licking up the blood. She was panting and her hands were fisted in the sheets as I settled between her thighs and put her legs over my shoulders. I gave her slit one long deep lick and then flicked her clit with my tongue quickly. I pushed one finger into her and her hips came up off the bed. I wrapped my other arm around her and held her still while I licked and sucked and inserted another finger I curled them slightly and vibrate then a little as I pumped my fingers in and out of her hot wet hole. She tasted sweet like her blood. She screamed my name amongst other profanities and she clamped down on my fingers as she came her juices spilt out onto my fingers. I lapped them up greedily not wanting to waste any. I sat up and looked into her eyes as I licked the last of her essence off my fingers
I placed myself at her entrance all the while looking into her eyes. She jerked her hips up impaling herself just as I started flicking her clit with my thumb. I pulled her hips closer and wrapped her legs around my waist then sat back on my heels. So tight and wet mmggugh… Fuck. I watched her eyes roll back as I pushed all the way in and then gave a forceful thrust and twisted and ground our pelvises together. I started trusting slowly in and out watching where we joined. She met me thrust for thrust and arched her back trying to get more friction.
"Harder" she demanded.
I lowered my body to hers and licked her neck from collarbone to jaw and then moved to capture her mouth until she couldn't breathe. Our tongues battling for dominance. She raked her nails down my back drawing blood; I thrust harder changing the angle looking for her g-spot. I knew I hit it when she screamed and her walls began to pulse around my cock tightening further until I felt like I was in a vice and I could hardly move.
"Bite me." she blurted out and she turned her head in offering. My fangs extended further at her words.
"Not unless you bite me as well, I want to start the bond." I changed the rhythm and quickened my pace as I looked into her eyes waiting for her decision. Her eyes widened and she nodded, I lowered my mouth to her neck and licked her jugular and as I felt her hot breath on my neck I sunk my fangs into her. I didn't feel her teeth break the surface as the rush of her blood overwhelmed me. I let my tongue wander caressing her skin as I sucked and savoured the nectar of the Gods. I was distracted by the sensation of my blood leaving my body, she was sucking mouthfuls and writhing and crashing her hips harder into mine.
I sped up far faster than a human and she kept pace. I felt my release coming closer pulsing along with her heartbeat. I could feel the bond take root, her emotions washing over me. She was feeling so many different emotions but feeling her release on top of my own increased things exponentially. I withdrew my fangs and roared as I came deep inside her. I kept thrusting slowly loving her little whimpers every time her hips met. I leant down and I nicked my tongue and bathed her neck and chest to heal the marks along with any scars previously unhealed.
I nipped at her nipples licking them into perfect little erect points. I withdrew from her and crawled down her body licking as I went, I again nicked my tongue and bathed her thighs removing any trace of scars. I turned my head and licked her slit hard and let my tongue enter her. I bit into my finger and pushed it into her and thrust it in and out. I added another finger and bent to suck her clit into my mouth. I added a third finger and she started to writhe uncontrollably. She came spilling her juices again for me. I turned my head and bit into her femoral artery without removing my fingers or stopping thrusting into her hard and fast.
I drank a few mouthfuls then swept my tongue over the marks to heel them and then impaled her on my cock. She gasped and her eyes widened at the sudden intrusion. I pounded into her over and over again. I could feel our completion coming and I slowed down and reached between us and flicked her clit quickly. She clamped down and screamed my name taking me with her. I spilled my seed into her and collapsed nearly crushing her. I could feel the dawn trying to pull me under. I held her close and road out our aftershocks still buried deep within her. My hands lazily roamed her body exploring her skin.
"Wow" she said as she turned and rolled on her back separating our bodies.
"I can feel your emotions now through our bond." I turned my head and kissed her.
"I feel more connected to you than before but, no emotions which aren't mine I don't think." She cuddled up to my side and laid her head on my chest.
"You were so quiet earlier I though you might be angry with me." Now that I could feel her I knew she was overwhelmed, she probably didn't even know what she felt.
"Sorry I didn't mean to worry you, its just I can only handle so much new information in one night."
"I wish you were going to be here when I wake, I find myself jealous of your patrons who get to see you all day and most of tomorrow night."
"I know, I know, but I need to earn money somehow. I have a house that needs paying for." She tried to laugh it off.
"You know that things have changed, right?" I propped myself up on my elbow so that I could look into her eyes.
"Yes."
"I'm not sure you realize how much, how much you mean to me. What I would do for you."
"It is just all so fast, give me time to process. Okay?" She reached up and caressed my cheek as she spoke.
"Don't take to long, I have been waiting for much more than two thousand years for you." I kissed her and poured all my love for her into it. We kissed and stared into each others eyes until they began to droop and we feel asleep in each others arms.
