VampireElf: You flatter me! 3
Hope you all love this one sorry it took me longer then usual.
I do not own true blood only my OC.
Chapter 15
We headed back to the hotel to rest leaving the church group behind us. "That was mental. Can those people think killing anyone is christian?" Sookie asked me as we walked into the lobby.
"Who knows. I don't care anyways people are what they are Sook." I said trying to forget the day I had just had.
"Well I think it is just wrong." She mumbled as Bill tugged her along towards their room. I didn't bother answering her this time. Hating them wouldn't do anything for us anyways. Eric hadn't been hurt and we saved Godric, that was what mattered.
After I got changed and ready I went with Sookie and Bill to Godric's. For some reason I felt the need to meet the person who had taken care of my brother while I could not.
I had no idea what to expect from him. I just wanted to thank him. Sookie had insisted on coming with me and in turn Bill followed. The place was packed with vampires lining up to speak with the vampire we had saved so I got in line with Sook. I hadn't really been sure what I would say, I sort of hoped it would come to me in the moment. Most of the things I said were in the moment. Isobel came in moments later pulling Hugo along. She skipped the line and went before Godric.
"Here is the one who betrayed us." She kicked him to the floor.
"Hugo. He is your human, is he not?" Godric asked crossing his hands on his lap. I hated the way humans were treated amongst them in that moment. We were all different but we all deserved better then this.
"Yes, he is." A bloody tear fell from her cheek.
"Do you love him?" He asked looking to the man and back to Isobel. She just stood there a moment trying not to shed more bloody tears. My heart broke for her. I should have been able to tell all this before it happened. How could I miss something so major?
"I-I thought I did." She sobbed looking away from Godric.
"It appears you love him still." He said, giving the man a half smile.
"I do...I am sorry...But you are my sheriff, do with him as you please." She knew it but had to except the consequences. She stood up straighter trying not to show her sadness, but she was unable to hold in the bloody tears that dripped down her cheeks.
"You are free to go." Godric said nodding to the man kneeling in front of him.
"WHAT?" Stand raised his voice walking towards them.
"The human is free to go." He looked at Stan, "And do not return. I fear that it is not safe for you here."
"This is a travesty." Stan said back to him.
"This is my verdict. Eric, escort them out. Make sure he gets out of here unharmed." He looked at his progeny.
Eric nodded and took Hugo, "Yes Godric." The look on my vikings face was vastly different from the usual. I could see so much emotion in his eyes when dealing with his maker.
"Thank you. Thank you my sheriff." Isobel said getting down to touch Godric.
Godric's eyes were so sad. I wondered more if he may not have been captured. Having this many vampires with him all the time how could a church of humans just grab him? It seemed highly unlikely to me.
Eric had come back and sat with his maker while more people poured forward to speak with him. One by one they had their turns and went off to mingle with the others there. I allowed everyone their chance and instead of waiting around I followed Sook who was currently fighting with Bill.
"Why were you talking to Eric at all if he kidnapped you?" She asked pissed off and confused.
"I wasn't kidnapped by Eric. He wasn't even around." He said. Jason walked over right after me interrupting them, "Look I am very sorry but if I don't do this now I may never. I am so sorry for joining that crazy church. You obviously care for my sister." I couldn't even believe what I was hearing. Jason had joined the fellowship? I knew he hated vampires and he hated Bill most of all but I didn't think it was that bad.
"Look why don't we go out back and finish this." Bill said to Jason leading him towards a quieter spot. I put my arm around Sookie to pat her back.
"What a day it is when our kind and vamps get along hey?" I ask her smiling at Eric. I had noticed it off and on over the night, but I didn't mind it. I shrugged it off as him being protective.
"I wouldn't say it went perfectly but clearly Eric is happy about it." She said laying her head on my shoulder for a moment. Once we parted I noticed a tall red headed vampire working her way towards us. Oh god what now? I tried to make eye contact with Eric but he was busy talking with Godric so I had no luck. Bill was also still outside with Jason. I looked back to the woman.
Her makeup was so over done she almost looked like a call girl of some sort. Or maybe I was mistaken, she reminded me of a lost child. I shrugged that off to, vampires who lived a long time had the right to wear what they loved.
"Hello there. I'm Lorena." She said focusing on Sookie.
Sookie smiled huge, "Nice to meet you I'm Sookie. This is my friend Oliver." She nodded to me as well.
"Hm yes. You are what all the fuss is about." She said eying Sook up and down.
I stepped up, "Excuse me?" I said eying her with anger. Bloody rude vampires. Sookie stood back shocked. This was a little unexpected.
Lorena eyed me now, "Well well, aren't you a morsel?"
Sookie touched my hand now, "I'm sorry, but who are you?" She asked the vampire as if we were supposed to guess.
"Well now, we have a mutual friend."She said, smiling cruely.
I sighed, "Bill?" I asked hoping this wasn't going to get out of hand.
"Thats right. It is funny he never mentioned me. I practically made him what he is today" She smiled but her face told a totally different story.
"LORENA!" Bill yelled from across the room as he ran towards us.
"Oh hello there darling. I was just getting to know your humans. You always did like to prey on the innocent." She said smiling politely to him.
"Shes your maker?" Sookie asked holding her head up high. I knew this was going to get out of hand.
"She released me years ago. I have no ties to her." He shook his head at her.
She laughed, "Oh I wouldn't say that. We had to marvelous nights in your hotel room." She eyed Sookie. I grabbed Sookie's hand and held her back a moment.
"What." She asked pulling away from me and getting in the vampires face.
"Did you know your boyfriend hit me over the head with a fifty inch plasma television?" She asked rubbing her neck.
"Lorena you need to leave." Bill said, pleading with her.
"I hope he doesn't pull the same shit with you. There is no excuse for domestic violence." She said cruelly, looking at Bill.
"WHAT she has failed to mention is that she was holding me prisoner." He was raising his voice now.
"Pshaw. We were just catching up. You must have been worried sick though? Wondering where he was?" Oh god here we go. "I admit, it did get a bit heated. But you know how it can get sometimes with old lovers." Lorena reached for Bill's face.
Sookie grabbed her hand and pulled her away, "Do not. Touch him."
"My my, we are feisty aren't we?" Lorena asked moving closer to Sookie. I pulled Sookie back and eyed the woman again. Her laughter filled the whole room as she smiled at me. "You're both no more then blood bags. You cannot win this."
I laughed right back, unable to sensor myself. "We have already won this. Sookie is with Bill. Move on." I was getting upset now. "Bill chose Sookie and yet you still won't give up. In all your time as a vampire didn't you ever learn about shame?" I said getting a bit closer. I knew she could feel my breath on her face.
"OLIVER STOP." Bill said trying to get between us.
I was fast and avoided it, "I'd listen to him if I were you. Run away little girl." She motioned towards the door. Little girl? Really? I am older then this bitch by hundreds of years! All the vampires in the room were glaring at us now including Godric and Eric. It didn't matter though this bitch wasn't getting away with this bullshit.
"William and I love each other. Isn't that right Bill?" Lorena asked walking around me towards him.
"YOU HAVE GONE MAD. Now just get out of here!" He said grabbing her roughly.
I wasn't letting her get off easy, "Maybe you do love him. Who am I to guess? But he clearly doesn't love you. He clearly never has. And that. We. Both. Know." I moved to follow her. Lorena apparently had it, her fangs pooped at and she growled at me!
"Take those words back or they shall be your last!" She looked like she would cry any minute.
I laughed at her, "Don't assume you are better then me. I may look young but I am far from it." I spat. Her face didn't change, she didn't believe me. "Go on you dumb bitch, you've lost this one before it's begun." I continued to push.
Lorena lunged for me. Before I could use my light on her Godric whooshed forwards grabbing her by the neck, "Retract your fangs." He said. He was oddly calm about it, I wondered if she knew just how old he was. Or even how old my viking was? "Now." It was the first time that night he didn't just look sad but instead a mixture of sadness and anger. Eric now stood very close behind Godric. "I neither know, nor care who you are. In this area, and certainly in this nest I am the authority. Do you understand?" He asked, still holding her by the throat.
"Yes sheriff." She wheezed. She looked so embarrassed it made me smile.
"This human has proven herself to be courageous and loyal friend to our kind. Yet you seem to treat her like a child does a dragonfly, pulling off wings for sport. No wonder they hate us." He eyed her again. I agreed with him, vampires could have a little more respect for humans and I knew they would have a better time.
"She provoked me." Lorena said looking to the floor. I was glad she felt bad.
"And you. Provoked me. You have disrupted the peace in my home." He got close to her face, "I could snap you like a twig." Lorena was literally shaking now. She had a single tear fall down her cheek. "But I haven't. Now why is that?" He asked her giving her a slight smile this time.
"It's your choice." She said shakily.
"Indeed it is. You're an old vampire. I can tell. You have had hundreds of years to better yourself, yet you haven't. You are still a savage, and I fear for all of us if this behavior continues." He looked to Bill, "You. You seem to know her. Escort her from my nest."
Bill nodded, "yes sheriff." He said under his breath. Poor Bill couldn't have had a worse maker. Could he? What did I know of makers? Not much.
"I wish her out of my area before dawn." He said finally turning away from her and towards me. "I wish for us to speak in private Oliver." He said. How did he know my name?
"Uhm, sure. Lead the way." I said nodding to Sookie as I left with Godric.
We walked to a small room off the meeting area. I took a seat next to him on a large comfy looking couch by the door.
"I am happy to finally meet you Oliver." He said smiling now. "Eric has filled me in a little on your situation." He said. I wondered what situation he was talking about? "It is nice to meet someone who may know him as well as I do." He added. Oh! He knew we were family.
"I am very happy to meet you Godric." I smiled to him kindly, "I worried often about him during my life." I said.
He nodded, understanding my worry.. "You mean a great deal to Eric. He speaks of you like no one else." He does?
"Well I hope only good things." I said, my face turning a few shades of red.
"Yes well, not everything in life is good. But I know he cares for you." I nodded to him. We are family! Of course we care for each other. "I only wish we could have met sooner. I fear my child has much to learn of humans. After a thousand years one tends to loose themselves." He said sadly.
"I worried when I found him. He is very different from the viking I knew." I said sadly. I missed my fun loving brother.
Godric took my hand, "He is still Eric in the end. You just have to give him time." I know now how much I love this vampire. "I hope that in the future you will not hesitate to come to my nest for anything you may need." He said wrapping up our talk.
"Oh I will. You can be assured I will." I smiled standing to leave, I knew that when one never ages eventually something was bound to come up.
When I came back Jason came over to tell me Sookie and Bill left. I guessed I would be riding with Eric back to our room. I walked to him, "Should we head back soon? It is almost sunrise." I say staring up at him.
As he begins to answer me a man speaks up, "This is a message from the fellowship of the sun! There is no room for you demons here!" He yelled.
Opening his jacket I saw the explosives hanging from him just as he hit the button. Eric leaped on me, shielding me from the blast. It was so loud and hot I felt pressure from both Eric and the blast. Smoke filled the room as debris scattered, killing a few vampires in the process. Once it settled Eric rolled off me. I sat up looking to him seeing the wounds everywhere.
"Oh shit! Eric what the hell did you do?" I said leaning over him. "Do I pull the silver out?" I asked eying him.
"Had to shield you." He said looking painfully at me.
"Well hurry up and heal yourself. What are you waiting for?" I asked. Wasn't he a vampire? Geez!
"Can't. Silver." He said drawing out his voice.
"I'll get Godric." I said making to get up.
He put his hand on mine, "No time... suck... it out." He asked me. Oh shit really? Was that a thing?
"Eric, I can't. It's gross and... I can't touch you anyways." I said not realizing we had been touching for at least two minutes with no problem.
"Dying..." He said dramatically. So I did it, getting down and pulling them out wit my teeth, one by one.
"What are you two doing?" Godric asked coming over to us. I knew it right away when he looked at Eric and I smiling oddly. Eric tricked me into drinking his blood! Couldn't he just ask? "Eric was in no danger." He said again laughing this time. "He was already healing. The bullets would've pushed themselves out. This way he's... forced you to drink his blood." Oh god!
"Well I sort of figured that out. My brother is so full of shit! He couldn't have just asked!" I looked at Eric this time. What a dumby.
"You're connected. He'll be able to sense your emotions now." He said to me as I looked back to my brother, "You big lying a-hole." I said sticking my tongue out at him. "Take me home dumb ass." I say watching my brother lift himself off the floor, still grinning from ear to ear.
