Chapter 16

That night Eric followed me back to the hotel room. I opened the door, still pissed at him and tried to slam it on his face. I knew it wouldn't do much but I wanted to bother him. He came in behind me closing the door. In a second he had my back up against it, holding me by the arms. I stared at him while trying to hold myself in check.

"Eric! Put me down! What the fuck is wrong with you?" I yelled trying to pull from his grasp. He had forced me to drink his blood and still hadn't even said sorry. Why did vampires have to be so weird?

"You are mine." He said bringing his now angry face close to mine.

"I am not yours Eric. I am no ones." I said, staring right back at him. Where had this come from?

"You let that whole room of vampires think that you were Bill Compton's! I will not hesitate to rip his spine out!" He said menacingly. Wait what?

"What are you even talking about? I never said I was anyone's." I said calming down a bit. "I stood up for Sookie. No one else Eric." He tightened his hands on me.

"I heard Lorena call you Bill's!" He said growling at me. I don't think I have even ever seen Eric this angry before.

"I am not Bill's Eric." I said again trying to get him to calm down. "Sookie is Bill's." I added.

Eric let my arms go slightly, still ghosting them along my naked flesh. He drew his forehead to mine, "You are mine." He whispered staring into my eyes.

I reached my hand up and lightly ran it along his cheek.

"You have to let me go Eric." I whispered to him. Instead of letting me go he lifted me off my feet into his arms, laying me down on the giant bed. I stared widely at him as he climbed in next to me , laying on his side facing me. I yawned and grabbed my pillow to me.

"I am so tired Eric." I whispered to him.

"Sleep then Oliivi. I have a meeting to go to soon." I nodded to him closing my eyes. I felt safe with him as usual.

"Love you." I whispered again as I drifted off to dreamland. I doubt I realized I had said it aloud. Holding my scent back twenty four hours a day was getting exhausting.

Dream:

Eric and I lay naked next to each other in our large bed, he was smiling to me. I hadn't seen my brother smile in hundreds of years so I was clearly grinning right back.

"Finish your sentence." He said to me.

I laughed, "What was I saying?" I asked, I got so lost in him sometimes.

"You were telling me why'd you be a terrible vampire and I was disagreeing." He took my hand, kissing it softly.

"Well...I guess I don't feel right without the sun on my face. Most days." I said back. It was true, I needed the sun sometimes, to feel the warmth on my skin. He laughed to me showing me his biggest smile.

"It's true!" I said taking his hand into mine. "I am Fae Eric. I would choose life over death." I said seriously. "Besides, you are all always killing." I added.

"You killed a man." He knew of at least one.

"Yes well you may not be aware that I have killed many men. But it is always self defense, not for lunch."

His lips pressed to my hand again, "But you'd adapt. Like we all do. Trade the sun for the moon and stars." He pleaded lightly. He could be convincing sometimes.

"Nope. Not me. I want them all. I am greedy." I whispered smiling again.

"Ooh, very greedy." He said giggling, "I love it." He scooted closer to me. He moved over me changing to serious Eric, "You have the right temperament for a vampire Oliver." He said.

"What? Seriously? No. Do I have a sign on my forehead that says 'bloodthirsty' No I do not." I was not going to give up. No way was I ever going to become the undead.

"But you are blood thirsty." He teased, stroking my back. "Everyone thinks you're a darling, don't they." He asked. I smiled, no not everyone.

"Maybe they do." I was sure they didn't.

"You're ruthless because of the people you love. You'll do anything for them." I nodded to him as he took my lips with his. "Your friends. People you don't even know...Me." He said trailing his fingers lower down my side. We didn't talk more as Eric lifting himself on top of me kissing me passionately.

My eyes shot open. What the fuck was that? I never had dreams of Eric. In fact I never had dreams at all. "Ugh. Must be the blood!" I scolded myself as I stood from our now empty bed. If I had known this would happen I would have actually yelled at him for doing it. I didn't need to be thinking about sex with him all the time when I could barley touch him for shit sakes! I had to get home before I did something that got me killed.

This was always the way it was going to be with us. Eric wanted me like he always had and I couldn't say yes. I might as well run off and hide. Although I knew how much that would hurt him so I couldn't do it. But it didn't mean I couldn't think about it.

There was a knock at my door as I pulled on my sweater and boots.

"Oliver? Oliver you in there?" Sookie called. She sounded frantic. I trudged to the door, pulling it open.

"Yeah whats up?" I asked letting her inside.

"It isn't good Oliver. Godric is meeting the sun and Eric is freaking out! You have to try to do something! He won't let me near them." She paced the room. Shit!

"Alright! Well were are they?" I asked hoping I would get to them in time.

"On the roof. It is almost time! I knocked half an hour ago but you wouldn't open the door!" She hollered at me.

"Shit Sook I am so freaking sorry.. I was so tired from trying to keep control I needed the rest." I said as I tied my hair in place. "I'll head up there now okay?" I said flinging the door open and running for the stairs. I hoped for Eric's sake Godric wouldn't go through with this silly idea.

I couldn't get the door to the roof open and I started kicking at it, hard. It wouldn't budge. I paced back and forth. I could try my light! Stepping back I threw myself at the door pull power throwing it open on the first try. "Finally!" I said to myself as I walked towards them.

"Two thousand years is enough." Godric said to Eric.

"I can't accept this. It's insanity!" He answered his maker angrily.

"Our existence is insanity... we don't belong here." Godric said touching Eric's cheek.

"But we are here!" He said trying to talk him out of it.

"It's not right. 'We' are not right." Godric stepped back a bit giving Eric space. He clearly didn't think he was worth saving.

"You taught me there was no right or wrong. Only survival or death." Eric pressed.

Godric sighed, "I told a lie, as it turns out." he smiled softly to my viking.

Eric dropped to his knees, bowing his head in sorrow, "Godric, don't do it." He pleaded a single tear falling to the stone floor.

"There are centuries of faith and love between us." He again touched Eric kindly, trying to calm his child.

"Please, please!... Please, Godric!" I hadn't heard Eric speak so sadly since our fights in the woods. It was braking my heart, even I was crying now.

"Father... Brother... Child...Let me go." Godric asked. He knew how painful it was for Eric.

Eric lifted his head stubbornly, "I will not let you die alone!" He said. Oh hells no.

"ERIC!" I yelled stepping forward. "Yes, you will." I said not giving him an option. Eric stood, Godric's hand on his shoulder.

"As your maker. I command you." He wasn't letting Eric die.

Eric didn't say anymore as he turned to me, "Please. Oliivi please." He begged me. I only nodded while pointing to the stairs. It would be light soon enough and I wouldn't have them both burn up. Eric walked away and down the stairs, leaving Godric and I alone.

"Godric this is ridiculous. You have so man reasons to live!" I said angrily. "Eric just found you. You cannot just leave him now. He needs you!" I scolded him like a child.

"It won't take long. Not at my age." He said stepping towards me slowly.

"Yes well we better get you inside them huh?" I said knowing that wasn't what he had meant.

"Do you believe in God?" He asked me. God really?

"I believe in many things." I said not wanting to continue down this path anymore. "Godric please! Let me help you." I asked him as I moved towards him. I didn't know what I could do but my body told me to help so I did what it wanted.

"You will care for him? Eric." He asks.

"I'm not sure in the way you wish.. You know how he is." I said back.

He nodded. "I can take the blame for that too." He replied looking to me sadly this time, full of regret. I reached my hand out and touched his cheek.

"I will not let you leave him." I said as my hand grew warm with light. I wasn't sure what was happening but I let it, it just felt right. The light grew to join with Godric, whose face looked confused. He slowly fell to his knees before me.

"What is happening?" He asked me. The light moved to his center before exploding before us, light flying out of him and all around both of us. I was gasping for breath as I fell to the concrete floor beside him.

"Oliver! Oliver wake up!" He cried out also falling beside me in a pile.

Moments later I opened my eyes to see Godric standing on the edge of the building, the sunlight pouring over him. I stood and ran towards him, "Godric no! Get inside! Please." I begged hoping he wouldn't burst into flames before I could do anything to stop it. But he didn't, instead he turned to me smiling widely.

"It is alright my child. I think I have been saved." He said to me as he wrapped me in a hug. Why wasn't he burning?

"Godric why aren't you burning? What is happening?" I asked unsure if I should be holding a man who could light me on fire at any moment.

"Child you do not know?" He asked bewildered.

"Know what?" I asked confused by the question. Why the hell would I know anything about vampires?

"Child you have given me life." He said taking my hand to his chest. I gasped stepping back from him. I could feel a heart beat! How did I even do this?

"Holy shit! Godric you are human!" I said smiling and grabbing him again in my arms as we both laughed together.

"You are truly magnificent Oliver." He said stroking my hair.

"I have no idea what I did to you. But whatever it was I hope it helps." I said hoping this meant he would live now.

"I have life. I have life!" He laughed loudly. I could see the 16 year old in him in those moments..

After what seemed like a twenty minute hug we moved apart, "We must head to talk with Eric now. My child most likely hasn't felt my presence in a while. He will think me dead." Godric explained as we walked back into the hotel. "You must gather your things together so we can leave tomorrow. I do not wish anyone knowing of your gifts Oliver. You would be in great danger." He told me.

I opened the door to our room after leaving Godric to his own. Eric sat on the bed with his head in his hands.

"Eric." Was all I said as I went to him running my hands through his hair lightly. "Eric look at me." I asked him. He brought his eyes to mine taking my hand from his hair and pulling me to his lap. His face was stained red, he looked like a mess. "Eric Godric lives." I stroked his cheek.

"No..I felt him die." He whispered pulling me closer to him. I ran my hands along his face trying to rid him of tears.

"No Eric. Godric lives. I just walked him to his room moments ago." I whispered back.

"Then why do I not feel him?" He asked me, running his hands down my back.

"Something happened on that roof I can't explain. But Godric lives I promise you." I smiled at him. I was feeling pretty damn good about this. Eric didn't say another word as he lifted me to the bed softly.

"I would like to go see for myself. I will return." He said as he walked to the washroom to wipe his face.

"Okay Eric. I will wait for you." I lay down closing my eyes again allowing sleep to claim me. Tomorrow we would head home with Godric. I felt good about it.
