I'm glad I got tis one up ! I'm thinking of ending this story soon, after a few more chapters, and then writing a sequel. Because I could probably write another 15 or so chapters with all the ideas I have ( for those of you who want Godric to find love, you'll like it ! ). I originaly planned to have it all in one story but this part of it ended up taking a lot longer to write so I think I'll turn it into two stories. What do you think ?
The day went past ever so slowly. Sookie couldn't tell me anything about what happened to me so we talked about her. She told me about some woman called Maryann, and how she was a maenad. Her boss, Sam, was a shape shifter so he, with Bill's help, managed to kill her. It all seemed rather complicated, and Sookie didn't really seem to want to talk about it so I left it at that. I showered, for what seemed like the first time in months. I came out an hour later, and looked in the mirror. I still had the same bump on my stomach I had that night in the club with Eric... Why hadn't our baby grown ? I was so worried. Was it still alive ?
Sookie and I were watching Buffy reruns when the sun went down. Darkness had barely set and the door bell rang.
" Oh ! Um, come in. " Said Sookie as she opened the door. She had barely finished speaking and Eric was already kneeling before me, as I sat on the couch. My heart started beating faster as I looked him up and down, looking for injuries. I didn't see any.
" Lover " he said as he pulled me to him. " Lover are you alright ? " he asked desperately, worry filling his eyes.
" Of course I am. Are you ? " I asked, ignoring his question, focusing only on him. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands held my face inches from his.
" Yes " he muttered, trying so hard not to kiss me. " You... You made me so scared. " he whispered onto my lips. " I couldn't face loosing you. "
I couldn't answer. I was thinking about the baby. Our baby. It wasn't growing, was it dead ? It as Eric's only chance to be a father... He sensed something was wrong as I looked down, staring at the floor.
" What's wrong ? " he asked, making tears run down my cheeks. I loved him so much it tore me to pieces to have lost his child. " Is it the baby ? Is it still with us ? " He asked, panic rising in his voice.
" I... It's... Eric... Might... A... " I blabbered on, making noises but nothing more as I shaked.
Eric lifted my chin and kissed me. He was so desperate to feel me, and though the kiss didn't last long, it filled me with love and warmth, so much that I calmed down. Suddenly, everything felt fine, and I knew we would be ok.
" Is the baby still with us ? " he repeated, knowing full well he had calmed me down.
" Yes. Yes she is. " I said, believing it as I felt a kick as Eric's hands found their way to my stomach.
" She ? " He asked, cocking an eyebrow.
" I don't know. " I shrugged. " It feels right. " I smiled as Eric rolled his eyes.
I finally took notice of Godric, standing in the doorway, obviously uncomfortable about being in Sookie's house. He looked fine, no injuries in view. I got up and jumped into his arms.
" Thank god you're alright ! " I exclaimed, holding him tight.
" Only thanks to you. " he smiled, pulling away.
" Me ? " I asked, confused. " What did I do ? "
Sookie lead Godric to an armchair, as she sat on the other, and Eric and I took the couch.
" Well, you started fighting Samael to protect me, but you were... What ? " He glared at me and Godric as we both started laughing.
" Her gift. " said Godric simply, confusing Eric even more.
" Remember the first night we met ? " I said.
" You... You read my memories. " he remembered; " You want to do it again ? "
" If you don't mind. " I smiled, and he nodded.
I was in Eric's body, watching myself ridiculing myself trying to kill Samael. I soon fell to the floor and Samael came over to me, ( or should I say Eric ? ) ready to stake me.
" Have fun in hell " he grinned as he lifted his arm up.
" Get off of him. " I heat myself say from behind. Samael stopped and turned, my ( Eric's ) eyes found me standing, perfectly still, holding my fists ready to punch. Samael laughed.
" Get a clue, bitch. " he said, turning back to me ( Eric ) but my eyes didn't leave the sight that was my body. I watched as my eyes turned red, and them my whole body caught fire.
" You will not touch him " I watched as I saw myself walk up to a now shocked and terrified Samael.
" You... Can't... " he screamed, backing away from the flames, hitting the wall behind him.
" I can and I have. " I looked more carefully. I wasn't on fire, but was wrapped in flames that coated every part of my body, resting a few centimeters above my skin.
My vision blurred for a minute, feeling that Eric's body was weak and hungry, when when it came back, Godric was leaning over me.
" Eric " he said, " come on, get up. Sigrid can take care of herself. " I felt myself nod, getting up to my feet with Godric's help. I looked back over at myself.
" You've hunted me for centuries, you've tried to kill Godric and me countless times. And now you try to kill Eric and our baby. Think again. You're dead meat. " And I lunged at Samael, fire taking over his body, and he screamed and screamed in agony as I held onto him, until I ripped his head off. I took a few steps back and the fire around me disappeared, and I watched as Samael's remains burnt. The room was filling with smoke : we had to get out.
" Go ! I'll get Sigrid. " Godric said to me, as I felt the sudden urge to run over to myself. But I didn't. A green light appeared in Samael's body, and came out as a little ball of light. It whooshed around all three of us.
" Until the next time " it said, and then rose up and out of the room. I saw myself faint and fall onto the floor, as Godric picked my body up.
" I'll come back for you. Stay here. " he said to me, as I grabbed hold of the door in my fight to stay up. As he left, I looked down at myself, or rather at Eric's body, and saw that he was covered in his own blood.
As promised, Godric soon reappeared in the thick black smoke and lifted me up. My vision blurred again and soon we were outside. The sky was clear, the moon was full. I saw myself lying under a tree, looking rather pale and very, very dirty.
" You need blood my child. "
I stopped the memory there, not wanting to know how Eric got the blood he needed.
" And then I layed her under a tree, and went back to get Eric. " said Godric. I looked over and saw he had been telling Sookie what Eric's memory had told me. I was stunned. So stunned I couldn't speak. All three of them looked at me as I sat there, holding onto Eric's hand for dear life.
" Do you know what happened ? " asked Eric, breaking the heavy silence. I did, but I was still in too much shock to respond. Godric spoke for me.
" The most powerful of fairies can master one of the elements. " he said. " Sigrid is one of them by birth, but could never summon the power. Not before then. "
" So what changed ? "
" The power probably just kicked in. After being banished, she had a few things taken away, as you know, but... "
" No " I interrupted. " No that's not what happened. " I said plainly, not looking up. The carpet was so interesting. As no one said anything, I looked up. I caught Eric's gaze.
" He was going to kill you. I couldn't let that happen ! " I told him.
Silence.
" So Eric set this off ? " asked Sookie. I shrugged, not taking my eyes off Eric's. He was astonished, and full of thanks and admiration. He squeezed my hand a little tighter, and smiled faintly.
Godric got up. " Thank you Sookie for your time and effort. It means a lot to us. "
" It's nothing. " she answered. " I'm glad I could help a friend. "
Eric also got up pulling me with him, as Godric left.
" Miss Stackhouse " he smirked.
" What ? " she said plainly, making him smirk even more.
" I'm taking Sigrid out. She'll be back before dawn. " He said and left.
" Only if you don't mind. I don't want to intrude, you've been so much help. " I said, hugging Sookie.
" I want you to stay here. Go, he's waiting for you. I know you love him, for some reason. " she said, before sticking her tongue out at Eric who had put his head through the door. He chuckled and cocked his head to tell me to come. I mouthed a thank you back at Sookie as I left, taking Eric's hand. He lead me to the cemetery not fat from Sookie's house, and under the trees he turned to me.
" I owe you an apology. " he said uncomfortably. " I should have trusted you. "
" What are you talking about ? " I asked, truly confused. His eyes shone so blue in the moonlight, and I needed to hold him close to me.
" I am indeed the father of your child. I'm sorry I needed proof to believe it. " He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me against him. He looked deep into my eyes before speaking again. " You really are a magical, beautiful, clever little fairy. " he smirked slightly, and kissed me. My arms held his head against mine, as I savored the sweet taste of his lips and tongue. Though he was as cold as ice, he warmed my body and I felt at home in his arms.
" What do you mean ? " I asked when our lips finally parted.
" I've known you for barely a few weeks. Technically it's been three months but for two of them, we were unconscious and separated so it doesn't count. But the weeks we spent together have been... Magical. You say you're not a real fairy because you're so violent and mean. But to me, you are perfect. You perfectly incarnate the brutality and animalistic needs that I deeply miss, yet you are the most beautiful woman I have ever layed eyes on. You smell and taste heavenly, you are so elegant and independent, you care for me more than for yourself and you have brought me the two things I could never dare to wish for : the sun, and a child. And I don't even care if it does turn out to be a girl. I will love her will all my being. "
I couldn't answer. His words still rang through my head, and I couldn't digest them. He was so real. So much realer than I could have imagined, and I loved him even more than I originally thought. I needed to say something, tell him what I felt for him, but I couldn't. No words came as I opened my mouth, and instead, his lips met mine as he kissed me again.
" But one thing, " he said, pulling away, " You will not tell anyone, and I really mean ANYONE, who I am around you. I have a reputation you know " he smirked.
I laughed, shaking my head. " Eric, you are the most ridiculous person I've ever met, you know that ? "
" You love it. " he smirked, and I rolled my eyes.
" You're full of yourself aren't you. " I grinned, and kissed him.
" Do you want to be full of me ? " he whispered into my ear, making me laugh even more.
