VampireElf: You flatter me :D I really loved the character (Godric) So I tried to think of a way to keep him around. Enjoy!

Chapter 17

I felt the bed shift violently, opening my eyes to look around I tried to brace myself for what was coming at me. Eric pulled me into his arms roughly not checking to see that I was even awake.

"Eric! What is it?" I asked panicking. My brother hadn't been all hugs and cuddles pretty much ever.

"You saved him." He whispered into my ear holding me tighter.

"Fuck Eric! Let go I can't hold back!" I yelled trying to push away from him as all my ability to contain my scent vanished into thin air. I couldn't think straight as he took me down onto the bed, his teeth out.

"You saved him Oliivi. You saved him." He whispered over and over again as he rested his head on my shoulder softly. Why wasn't he ripping me apart right now? What was going on!

"Eric stop you have to back away! I know I saved him but please move back!" I pleaded with him.

He lifted his head up and stared at me a moment before answering me, "Oliivi I would not hurt you. Why don't you believe me?" He asked worried now. I sighed and pulled away from him, sliding off the bed now.

"Eric I think we need a break for a few days okay? I am going to head back to Bon Temps." I grabbed my clothes and shut the bathroom door quickly so he wouldn't follow me. I heard him though as his head touched the door.

"Oliver please don't go. We have to talk about this! You are not safe out there on your own!" He pleaded through the door.

"Dammit Eric I have survived hundreds of years on my own. I will be fine okay?" I yelled putting my clothes on and braiding my hair.

I came out of the bathroom and grabbed my bags, "Look it doesn't mean I don't want to see you alright? I just need a day or two." He sat on the bed now looking at me, "Okay. But if you need help I will know." I nod opening the door and leaving him behind.

As I walked to leave the hotel I stopped to see Godric. Knocking lightly on his door making sure if he was sleeping I wouldn't wake him. I gave up when he didn't answer and started to leave when the door flung open.

"Oliver! Come in." He asked me as he moved from the door.

"I just came to say goodbye, I am heading back home." I smiled to him. I hoped he would head back with Eric so we had more time.

"Does Eric know this?" He asked me calmly. He was always so calm!

"Yes we spoke. I am sure he isn't happy about it but I need a little space." I cleared my throat, "What are your plans? What is the first thing you are going to do as a human?" I asked very interested to know what he would do.

"Well I was hoping to go back with you two. I really shouldn't show my face to anyone. If they knew what I have been given they would want it." He said. He was right I really couldn't have everyone knowing my powers could do something like that.

"Oh. So you will come to Shreveport then?" I asked him, wondering where he was going to stay.

"I wish to be near my child yes. But I cannot be seen by the vampires." He repeated. I nodded smiling huge. I had an idea!

"Godric you should stay with me! I have this huge house in the middle of the woods. I have more room then I need and it definitely can get lonely." I hoped he would say yes.

He smiled to me, "I couldn't impose child. I have money. I can find a place." He said shaking his head.

"No way! You are coming with me. I won't take no for an answer! We are family now you have to come." I said grabbing his jacket and throwing it to him.

"Come on then not much time before the vampires wake up and you are seen. Lets go." I turned to the door waiting for him to follow. I watched him write a note for Eric before grabbing a few items and following behind me.

Once we arrived back in Bon Temps we drove straight to my house, down the gravel road. "I hope you love it." I said looking at him, then back to the road.

"I am sure it will be fine Oliver. Stop worrying." He said trying to reassure me.

"So I guess we need to feed you hey? Have you eaten yet?" I asked him.

He laughed, "I had almost forgotten about it. It has been two thousand years since I have eaten." Wow that long? geez! I would have to feed him something awesome.

"Well I am definitely ordering pizza. You will love pizza!" I told him as we exited the car. "Well this is it. Home sweet home." I said grabbing my stuff out of the car. He walked the steps to my door and opened it for me.

"It is truly lovely Oliver." He smiled. He was so bloody polite all the time. Can't lie though, I loved it.

"Alright so if you go up those stairs and turn left there are a few rooms with beds. Just pick the one you want." I told him as we both trekked up the stairs. He turned left and I went right to drop my luggage in my room.

That night Godric and I sat outside on my dock and ate pizza, which by the way he loved!

"Things like this weren't around before I was turned. Things are much different these days." He told me.

"Yes I know. It took some adjustments for me but I learned. It was easier the second time around though. When Eric found me in the woods near his village I hadn't any idea what was going on or who I was. When I left Fairy I at least had memories." I told him. We had talked about my trip there and back. We had even talked about Eric. "I spent all this time trying to return and find him." I explained. I sighed leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Clearly the universe is against us." He laughed at me. "The universe has no hold on Eric. He loves you still." Godric was clearly mistaken about that. I didn't think Eric capable of love anymore.

"Yes well we have different views on that one it seems." I said trying to milk him for information on the new Eric.

"Eric holds it back but he cannot from me child. The love he feels for you is strong. I fear he holds back because of me." He said. I figured he meant the way he had taught Eric over the thousand years they had been together.

"I see him now and feel so much relief that we found each other. There is also a part of me that mourns the Eric I knew as a girl." He nods and strokes my hair.

"He will come around soon enough." He reassures me.

"It doesn't matter Godric. I can't be with him. I can't risk it." I wished it were different.

"Eric is strong. I have faith that he would not hurt you Oliver." We both sighed together as I dropped my feet into the cool water bellow me. "Have you asked another Fae about this?" Godric asked me.

"No no I haven't thought of that. I guess I just assumed they stayed away from vampires. Besides I don't know if they have closed off the door to Fairy yet." I explained. I could try to contact Claudine and find out more. I knew I had questions about what had happened with Godric. "I guess it would be worth a try." I said swinging my feet around.

"If you love Eric then I think it would be worth it to ask." He got up from beside me, "I am tired child. I am off to sleep. Try to speak to someone who may know, Okay?" He asks, I can see the hope in his eyes.

"Alright I promise I will."

After Godric leaves I close my eyes trying to find Claudine's voice.

'Claudine! Claudine I need you. Please speak with me.' But nothing comes back to me only white noise. Sighing I pick myself up from my dock and take a walk towards Sookie's house. I need some girl time once and a while.

Sookie's house appears in my line of vision as I trek through the trees towards it. The night is bright. the moon shining down through the trees making everything visible to me. As I step towards the treeline ahead of my I notice her yard filled with people dancing. The people are dressed in white togas and they are wearing branches in their hair as they skip around a large alter before them. Shit! What the hell was going on? Sighing I pick up my feet heading for the crowd of people.

I walked through it towards the house finding Sookie and Bill walking around trying to question people, "Jesus! Oliver! What the fuck is going on?" She asked me. Her house is filthy. There is mud all over the walls and something that smells a lot like feces.

"Oh my god! Sook we have to leave." I told her, starting to panic. "Common lets go." I grab her arm pulling her towards the door.

"What are you doing in my house?" A tall beautiful brown haired lady asked stepping in front of our path to the door.

"This is not your house!" Sookie spat at her.

"Well it is now." The woman says walking closer to Sookie.

"I strongly suggest you remove yourself immediately!" Bill raises his voice to her, standing his ground.

"My my you found yourself quite the specimen haven't you?" She asks Sookie. "Though I daresay there is nothing stopping him from one day leaving you cold." She smiles.

"You don't scare me!" Sookie smiles right back at her. I still stood there trying to figure out what the hell she is and how I could stop her. The lady slammed Sookie up against the wall hard. Anger washed over me as I reach for the woman, grabbing her arm.

The second I made contact pictures flash before my eyes. Sookie was running late at night through the woods while something was chasing her. Then I see the thing scratch her back roughly as Sookie falls to the ground.

Shit it was the thing that poisoned her! "Let go of her now! I won't hesitate to hurt you!" I yelled ripping her arm away from Sookie.

"Run Sookie! Go now!" Bill yelled as he grabed the woman from me throwing her down.

"Yes ravage me!" She cries as his teeth puncture her neck. Sookie just stood there watching us as Bill fell backward to the floor vomiting black goo everywhere.

"What did you do?" Sookie cried trying to get a hold of Bill.

"Sookie take him and go now!" I cried trying to get them out of there while I distracted her. Her laughter poured over us as she stood towards me. I had been trying to read her mind for the last five minutes.

"What are you?" She laughed as she touched my face.

"None of your BUSINESS!" I yelled pushing my hand to her face. Using my light I threw her backwards to the floor.

"HA ha ha ha! That was fun!" She cried as I pulled Sookie and the still vomiting Bill down the steps towards the woods.

"We should get to my place so I can figure this out!" I said leading them down the path to my home.

"And you said she had the head of a bull?" Godric asked Sookie. She nodded and looked back at me, "It poisoned her." I told him as I cleared a spot for Bill on the couch next to Sookie.

"You need to call Eric. He has to go to the queen and see if she knows how to fix this." Godric explained.

"There is a vampire queen?" I laughed at him as I picked up my cell phone. "Of course there is."

Me: Eric! Godric wishes to speak with you.

Eric: Where is he?

Me: My place. It is urgent.

Eric: Be there momentarily.

I put the phone down, "He says he is on his way." Running my hands through my hair I tried to remember ever coming across anything like this. Maybe a shifter? No it couldn't be a shifter. Not once did Andrew bleed black. This was so fucked up! Eric arrived without knocking.

"Godric. What is it?" He asked not even looking at me.

"The thing that hurt Sookie a while ago has taken over he house. I need you to speak with Sophie Anne and see if she can help us." Eric looked around the room noticing the black goo all over the floor.

"Head of a bull, body of a lady." I said to him running a rag over the floor.

"Alright. I will return tomorrow night." And he was gone leaving me a house full of guests.

"I am going to get some sleep. Tomorrow we head back there and hopefully destroy whatever that thing is." I said as I stood from the floor. "You guys can use the last room on the left. Goodnight." I went to my room and lay in my bed.

The next night I received a text from Sam Merlotte.

Sam: Maryanne has gone wacko. I need you to speak with Eric for me.

Me: I have already. You should really head here where it is safe. Those things are every where.

Sam: I have Arlene's kids. We will head right over.

I had been into town earlier that day for grocery's only to find everyone gone and garbage all over the streets. I hoped Eric might return soon so we could get on with this shit already.

"Sam just texted me. He has Arlene's kids. I told them to come over here." I said to Sookie who was currently making us some dinner.

"Good call. Are they alright?" She asked. I shrugged, Sam hadn't mentioned it.

"He wanted to speak with Eric about this. I think he knows something about this woman. He said her name is Maryanne." She nodded to me.

When the sun went down Eric and Pam arrived. Eric was standing at the door grinning. "Did you find anything out?" I asked not smiling back. I was having a hard time not understanding what was happening here.

"What no hello?" He asked still smiling.

"Just get in here and close the door. I motioned towards the kitchen. "Godric." Eric greeted his maker as he joined the two small children at my dinner table. Arlene's had been possessed by whatever that thing was so Sam was watching them a while. "Well hello tiny humans." He smiled at them. The kids didn't even flinch.

"Are you a vampire?" The small girl asked.

"Why yes I am." He told her.

"Can I see your fangs?" She pressed him. Eric didn't answer as he let them fall forwards. "OOOH! That is so cool!" The small brown haired boy said giggling.

"Eric! Stop encouraging them!" Sookie said scooting them out of their chairs towards the living room.

Eric's face turned to his usual sad glare, "So shifter. Why should I help you?" He asked Sam who had explained all he knew of Maryanne.

"Look we need your help. Maybe someday I would have something you want in return." Sam said to him. I was standing in the doorway between the kitchen and living room listening in on their talk.

"Can you give me Oliver Northman?" He asked eying the shifter. My head shot up hearing that as Godric laughed beside me.

"Ugh! Eric seriously?" Pam drawled, rolling her eyes at him.

"No. She is her own person." Sam said shaking his head.

"Well that is a shame. That would be a tribute I would not soon forget." Eric said winking at me. I joined Pam in the eye rolling.

"I'm not here to give you tribute Eric." Same said getting upset. I decided to step forward and join the talk.

"Eric get on with it! This shit is going to effect your business to once all the people in Shreveport are turned into mindless zombies to. Also I am your sister and I am asking for your help!" I said folding my arms over my chest.

"I have no knowledge of this Maenad creature. The queen told me only that she is going to offer something to her god at some point. Something about a large bull." He said sitting forward, closer to Sam. "I have nothing that can help you."

Godric finally stepped up, "Eric you will take Pam and help them try to kill her." He ordered hoping it would work. Eric turned to his maker who was now human.

"Godric what can I do?" He asked.

"You can keep your sister safe by keeping Sooie safe." He explained.

"I have an idea." I said calmly looking to Eric and Pam.

"Speak then child." Godric said. "Well I am not sure about Sam's abilities but Andrew could definitely change into a bull if he wanted." I looked at Sam. "Why not make her believe her god has come for her and once she is caught off guard we stab the shit out of her." I was so tired of all this I just wanted a few peaceful moments alone.

Sookie smiled, "Stab the shit out of her?" She laughed. "You have such a way with words Oliver." She said looking to Bill.

"I think that could work. I am sure I could do it." Sam said standing up from his chair. "We should let her go through with the ceremony and then take her by surprise." He added, we all nodded in agreement.

Eric and Pam went home and Sam, Sookie, Bill and I all headed to carry out the plan. We watched as the crazy people jumped and leaped around the large offering. At the end of it Sam went forward as a bull catching her in his trap.

"My husband!" She cried, "Oh come, I am here my love." She cooed as she rubbed his nose, "We are together at last. Come to me!" She opened her arms towards the bull waiting for something to happen. Instead Sam rushed her, stabbing his giant horn through her heart. "OH my god!" she said, "I am the one to be sacrificed?" She asked as her body slowly fell limp against the bull. Sam shifted back, standing naked before all of us as his hand pulled through the large hole the horn had left in her chest. He dropped her still beating heart to the cement, wiping the black goo from his arm.

Everyone around started to change back one by one as they headed home from Sookie's yard. Tara included.

"That woman is seriously bat shit crazy." I said to Sookie.

"SAM!" Sookie cried running to embrace the still naked shifter.

"It's alright I am okay." He said as he let her go looking to Bill.

"Is she gone?" Bill asked Sam.

"Yes. I saw her shrivel up when I took her heart." He told Bill. Sam put his clothes back on as we all headed for home. I couldn't wait to sleep a whole day and night. As I walked back home I sent Eric a message.

Me: Sam killed it. We are fine. Heading home.

Eric: I am glad.

Me: Night Eric.

He didn't message me back but I knew we were okay. He was just upset that I needed time away from him. He couldn't keep his hands to him self so I was pushing him away. Hopefully I could speak with Claudine and find a way to make it work so I wouldn't have to. If she would just get back to me!
