I'm trying my best with this, I'm not too sure where I'm going with this new OC but he'll certainly be bringing a lot of action with him. Please tell me if I'm going too far with who/what he might be, but it's all linked. ( I have a very over active imagination ^^" ) Hope you like it ! Oh, and I'm sorry if I'm bad with the geography, I'm using maps to give a ruff idea, as I don't know America at all x)
My breathing became heavy and fast, and I quickly got up from the table without a word to Sookie, and I went to the ladies' as fast as I could without people noticing my rush. It was empty, as I leant on one of the sinks. The door opened just after as Sookie came in.
" What's wrong ? Why did you take off like that ? " She sounded worried.
I took a deep breath before answering. " Sookie... I saw someone at the reception. He's... Dangerous. I have to get away. I can't stay here. " I was panicking. Really panicking.
" I know, I saw him too. Who is he ? " she asked.
" Nevermind that. I have to get to Godric. " I went to the window, and opened it. " There is no way in hell I'm using the stairs, he might see me. " I said, climbing out. It was dark, and everything seemed so peaceful. Sookie climbed out after me.
" How are we gonna get back in then ? " she asked.
" There's a window in stairway. " We ran over there, and I opened it. I jumped up and climbed in, then helped to pull Sookie up.
" Sookie, catch up with me. I'm running off. " I said, before shooting off at vampire speed towards Godric's room. But I didn't make it. I bumped into Eric, who grabbed my arms.
" What's wrong ? " he asked, worried.
" Let me go. I need to hide. Take me to Godric, quick ! " I said, pulling away from him. I didn't have time, I had to hide. I couldn't face him, not now. How did he find me ? Did he even know I was here ? What did he want ?
Once inside Godric's room, I went and sat on the floor in the corner of the room. I pulled my knees up to my face and rocked myself, trying to stop shaking in fear.
I heard Godric come out of his bedroom.
" What's going on Eric ? " he asked.
" I don't know, I found her in this state. Through our bond, all I could feel was fear. It came on really suddenly, I don't - "
Someone knocked at the door. " It's Sookie. There's no one around, please let me in. "
I didn't look up, but I listened to Sookie explain to the two vampires what happened. I could feel Eric was worried, and angry at the man.
" This man... Did he have dark brown hair ? And green eyes ? " asked Godric. Sookie must have nodded in response as I heard Eric's worried voice speak.
" Who is he ? " he asked.
Godric lifted me up, so that I was on my feet. He took me over to Eric. " Let her sleep with you. If he knows she is here, he will check my room, not yours. She will be safe with you. As soon as darkness falls, you will leave this place, and go as far as you can. "
" But how will you - " I started.
" There is a funny little invention called a cell phone. " said Godric, trying to be funny.
Eric nodded and we ran down the hall to his suite. I locked the door, and pushed the couch in front of it to be sure. Eric just stood and watched me.
" Who is he ? " he asked, taking my hand to take me to bed.
" He... His name is Samael. " was all I could manage. I was still shaking, and I wasn't breathing right.
Eric started to undress me, carefully taking my boots off, then my t-shirt, moving to my trousers. I barely even took notice of what he was doing.
" Why are you so scared of him ? " he asked, sensually putting my night dress on.
" He... " I said, between short, uncontrolled breaths. " I don't know what he is. I have managed to escape him for 600 years. He wants to kill me. " Eric put me to bed, and starting undressing himself.
" Why ? " he asked.
I shook my head, sitting up. I couldn't sleep, not when he was so close. " I don't know ok ! I don't know anything about him, and neither does Godric. We've looked things up about him but I can't bring myself to believe them. " Eric was now in bed with me, nearly naked, and he pulled me to him.
" I am still angry about your pregnancy, but Godric has spoken to me about it and... We'll talk about it another time. Tell me what you found out about this Samael. " he whispered, trying to calm me down. It worked somewhat, I was barely shaking and my breathing was nearly back to normal.
I cuddled up to Eric in the dark, and I almost felt safe in his arms. " I can't bare to speak it... I will use my powers to show you. " I wispered back to him.
It was during the Renaissance. Godric and I were in London, in one of it's huge libraries. We were pouring through books and books looking for something by the name of Samael. Suddenly Godric came over to me, holding a book open. He started to read.
" Samael , meaning " Venom of God ", was an archangel. He is the accuser, the seducer and the destroyer. He is also the angel of death, working closely with Satan. At first, he worked for God, and he had six pairs of wings. He was the one who seduced Eve into eating the apple, cursing mankind. He is also said to be the true father of Cain, after an affair with Eve... " He drifted off, looking for other information. I swallowed. We had gone through every book in every library in England, and this was the only book that mentioned his name. Godric shook his head. " There is nothing more. " he said, looking up at me.
" But that can't be true... God doesn't even exist ! So neither did Eve, or Cain, nor any angels so certainly not this Samael... " I said.
" My dear, some things we cannot know. It might be true, as it might not be. I am 1 400 years old, but I am certainly not the oldest. Far from it. " answered Godric, making me even more scared.
I stopped my memory there, and waited for Eric to say something about it, but he didn't. Instead, he kissed my forehead and held me tighter to him.
" Eric... Say something... Tell me what you feel. " I begged him.
" I... Am jealous, to a certain degree. " he said. I was confused.
" Why ? "
" You knew him before I was even born. He knew you when you were barely old enough to call yourself a woman. " he said flatly. I knew he hated admitting it.
" But... Eric, is that all you have to say about it ? " It was hardly the most important aspect of it all. I mean, this guy might have been the angel of death, if such a thing existed.
He held me tighter still. " Whatever he is, he'll have to go through me before he gets to you. "
I smiled faintly, appreciating his words. But I was still scared. I closed my eyes to try to get some sleep, but my mind was full of him chasing me, memories of everything he had inflicted me. After a few hours I quietly got up and went to the bathroom, as I was so scared I was sweating. I washed my face and suddenly had to gag.
" Fucking pregnancy... " I muttered, as I washed my mouth out.
I turned to see Eric standing at the door. He had blood trickling out of his ears and his nose.
" Are you ok ? " he asked, hugging me. This was the Eric I loved. This was a man I could spend my life with. But I didn't know how long it would last, I mean it did take me being hunted by an unknown, powerful creature for him to act upon his feelings.
" I'm fine Eric. " I lied. " Why aren't you asleep ? It's dangerous for you to stay awake during the day. Look at you... " I said, taking a tissue to wipe away the blood from his face.
" I can't sleep. " He said, watching me clean him. He sighed heavily, causing me to jump a little as vampires don't usually breathe. " I think vampires understood the Fae wrong. " He said.
" What do you mean ? " I asked, walking to the sink to wet another tissue to get the dried blood off him. When I came back, he was sitting on the bed and I continued to clean him. He put his hands on my hips and looked up at me.
" I am a vampire, and you are a Fae. You are intoxicating to me. But it's who you are that I am addicted to, not your blood. " he said softly.
I stopped, and looked down at him. We gazed at each other for a while and I leant down to kiss him. He stood up and held my body closely to his, as he deepened my kiss. I pulled back and looked him in the eyes, and he caressed my cheek.
" Earlier, in the hallway... You said something... " He said. He wanted me to repeat myself, I could tell.
" Yes, I did. " I smiled, not wanting to give into him.
" Say it again. Please. " he whispered, nearly begging me.
I kissed him passionately again, and spoke softy onto his lips. " I love you. "
He kissed me again, and through our bond I could tell he was happy, happier than he had been for centuries. " Sigrid... " He whispered through kisses. " I... I love you too. " He said, after taking a deep breathe.
I grinned at him, not believing he actually admitted something that big.
We went back to bed and held each other while waiting for the sun to set, neither one of us getting any sleep. We barely spoke, we barely even moved. At around 6 o'clock I got dressed, and put a few things, among which my weapons, into a little shoulder bag. Eric was walking around, nervous. We decided to leave through the window, to avoid being seen within the hotel. I borrowed his cell phone and texted Sookie, to let her know I was ok, and not to worry.
" Which direction will we go ? " I asked him, while waiting for his phone to say ' sent ' .
" Where do you want to go ? " He answered, lacing his shoes up.
" How about... Towards Russia ? " I gave him his phone back.
" Seattle ? "
" Umm... Yeah ? " I said. This was my first time in new America, so I barely knew it. I had been a few times before, but it was a long, long time ago. The last time dated back to the 1600's or so. I liked Europe, it was home to me. I liked it's history, it's diversity. America was too big, too new for me.
As soon as it was dark enough, Eric opened the window. We left our bags in the corner of the room, we'd figure out how to get them back some other time. Our lives were more important. Eric jumped out, and stayed in mid air. He gave me his hand and I jumped into his arms. I looked down, and saw him.
" Eric, quick, go ! " I said, trying to keep my voice down. My heart was pounding hard, and as we shot off into the distance, I looked back and saw him smirking at me. Shit. He knew. I closed my eyes as Eric flew us higher, over buildings and parks, over a rivers and forests. We just kept going for hours until Eric landed in a forest on the outskirts of a city.
" Where are we ? " I asked him, adjusting to using my legs again.
" We have just passed the border to Colorado. " he said looking around.
" Where's that ? " I snorted. He raised an eyebrow at me.
" About the third of the way there... You really don't know America do you. " he smiled and kissed me gently on the lips. " Let's get you something to eat, then we can find somewhere to spend the day. " he said, grabbing my hand.
I looked back at the forest, wondering if I was safe. But I trusted Eric. We could both fight, so if we did end up in danger, we could get away. I hoped.
