A/N: Okay, I'm really sorry for posting late. I've been really busy with school and everything. And on a different note, I thank you for all your awesome reviews and support. You guys are fantastic. 3

So, this chapter just took a 180 for me, since I've changed my mind about a lot of things in this story. This was a little harder for me to write since I'm still not sure if this turn of the story is a good thing.

Here's me crossing my fingers again and hoping you guys will like it. I apologize for the mistakes.

I OWN NOTHING.

TWO WEEKS LATER…

"Sookie, pass me the salt." Adele called out before Sookie came running in holding out the container filled with salt. "Thank you dear."

"Sure thing, Gran." Sookie smiled and ran towards Tara, both of them were watching another Disney Movie. Tara was lying down on her stomach; her head propped up by her elbows. Sookie joined in by tucking her legs beneath her, giggling with Tara when the couples had their first true love kiss.

Jason walked in the living room, rolling his eyes and plopped on the couch behind them. He took the remote and changed the channel. Sookie and Tara both glared at him, but it was his sister who scolded him. "Jason! We were here first!"

Jason snorted. "It's already finished anyway!" He continued flipping through channels. Tara stood up and walked up to Sookie.

"Jase is right. C'mon let's help your Gran cook instead." Tara smiled and Sookie followed what her friend said. There they started helping Gran with the cooking. Tara and Sookie loved cooking with Gran especially when they baked cookies and cakes and pie. When they were done, the two best friends went to set up the plates on the dining table.

Adele finally called the children for dinner, but not before telling them to wash their hands. They prayed and went to eat their dinner.

"This spaghetti is real good, ma'am." Tara complimented. Adele smiled and patted Tara's hand.

"Thank you, dear. Thanks to you and Sookie's help." They continued eating, with Jason rambling about his baseball win and Sookie gushing about her Prince again. Adele chuckled at Sookie's dreams. She can be very imaginative.

The phone rang and Jason jumped up volunteering to answer it. Tara rolled her eyes and Sookie giggled. It was Charlotte, Jason's new crush.

Jason came back blushing like a girl and Adele asked if it was somebody special. Jason shrugged. When they were finished eating dinner, the kids helped Adele wash the dishes, with Sookie rinsing, Tara drying and Jason putting them back to their proper place. Tonight seemed to be a peaceful evening for the four of them, when a knock came on the door. Adele stood up and walked to the door, not knowing that Sookie was trailing right behind her.

When Adele opened the front door, she saw a very handsome and tall man. He smiled and greeted Adele. When Sookie saw who it was, she bursts out, "It's my prince! Quick Tara, look!"

Tara ran along with Jason, curious to see who Sookie was talking about, peeked. Adele turned around to face Sookie and asked, "And what is his name, Sookie?"

Sookie giggled. "Eric."

"Well hello there, Sookie." Eric bowed dramatically and Adele laughed.

Adele invited Eric in, and offered anything to drink or even dinner. Eric declined but showed his gratitude and instead walked towards the living room hoping to speak with Adele in private. Which was almost impossible since Sookie was following him around. Tara and Jason were both far away but were gawking at Eric. Adele who was still a bit confused followed. "I'm sorry…I must have forgotten. What is your name again? My granddaughter thinks you're her—"

Before Adele could have finished her sentence, Eric snapped his fingers in front of her face three times. Adele blinked twice before shaking her head. "Mr. Northman, I…what just happened?"

Just then, Sookie saw flashes of images of her Prince Eric meeting Gran. She was again, too young to understand what has happened.

"I apologize for that." Eric said. "But it was a necessity for me to glamour you to forget just in case Warlow comes back."

Adele nodded and blinked a few times. "I understand."

Eric opened his mouth to say something but paused, looking at Jason, Tara and then finally at Sookie. "Could we speak privately?"

"Of course." Adele asked Jason to take the girls to their bedrooms. Jason followed with Sookie looking back at Eric and pouting. When they were alone, she asked, "Is something wrong? Have you seen any signs of him?"

"No, not yet." He reassured her before his mouth was pulled into a straight line. "But I have to tell you, if what you have told me about Macklyn Warlow is true, I may not be any help to you and Sookie. He is five times my vampire age and he is part fae, my knowledge of fae powers are limited but I am aware of some of their abilities and with that, I am sure Warlow could kill me in a second."

Adele looked defeated and took a deep breath, keeping her tears at bay. "Wh—what should I do now?"

Eric again paused, seeing women in tears brought him discomfort. "I have someone who maybe useful in this situation. But for a price." He paused, waiting for a reaction and was only met by Adele's expectant silence. "I know another vampire, who is twice as strong as me. Twice as fast. A million times wiser than me. I trust him with my life."

Hope sparked in Adele's eyes. "Who is he?"

"He is my maker, Godric."

Adele looked down and thought for a moment, "Is he the one who made you into what you are now?" She said in a slow manner, obviously trying not to offend Eric.

And Eric understood her question and was not offended at all. "Yes."

Since Adele had only spoken to Eric twice, including this one she was confused at his short one-word-answers. She was quite for the longest of time. "You trust him, how can I?"

There was doubt and fear from Adele's expression and question. "I have never in my life, broken my own word. It is one of the few things I still believe in, as a human before and a vampire now. It is sacred to me. And I've lived for over a thousand years…" Eric paused to let that information sink in. "And I say I trust him with my life, which is something not all vampires could assure."

It was the emotions behind his words that really convinced Adele. In the few conversations that she had, he was always so composed and slightly callous. But now, when he spoke of this vampire, the sentiment he had was genuine. She slowly nodded, "Okay. What will he do exactly for Sookie?"

He paused before he continued, his eyes watching her carefully. "He wants to adopt Sookie."

It was a quiet and peaceful night in Shreveport, when Godric decided to visit his child, Eric Northman. He sensed that his progeny who was now a Sheriff seemed troubled and it concerned him. As his vampire maker, he couldn't really intervene, he let go of Eric years ago and with Eric's age he could take care of himself.

It was the sudden burst of anxiety that really alerted Godric. So much so, that Eric's worry was so strong that it reached him that far and that he couldn't ignore it. And Eric was too proud to ask for help from his Maker.

He flew, as usual. With his age and strength and speed he could be there in a couple of hours. He didn't mind flying that far, it calmed him.

Especially after Isabela brought up the case of three children who had been drained and left for dead by a newborn vampire. Such a pity to see young children suffer all because of a vampire's nature called for it.

Isabela's informants found the bodies in a ditch near a school ground before any human could. The young vampire was sentenced to be punished for months before he was to be put under Stan's watch to be trained and mentored.

They buried the children, it was better that way. If humans were to find out it could cause uproar in the community. And they were still in hiding, before the Great Revelation.

The authority had instructed them all, especially the Kings and Queens and Sheriffs to lower any casualties. Everything had to be perfect for the big reveal.

But for Godric, it was almost impossible. They weren't ready. Vampires are in nature, monsters. They hunt and kill. Fuck and feed. They need human blood to survive. They relinquish emotions and attachments. Because immortality teaches you that everything eventually dies and fades away.

Sure, a bottled blood could convince the humans that they were safe from vampires. That synthetic blood could nourish them and would eventually end the vampires' need to feed from humans. But how long will they actually believe that?

Humans also have synthetic food, but not all of them stick to synthetic. So why should vampires?

Again, the vampire race should not rush these things. They were not united, there is still a division between the authorities and sanguinistas. But the authorities refuse to deal with the problem; they were too focused on the Great Reveal. Too eager to mainstream with the humans.

Sanguinistas are wild and will be rising to power soon. But they are incredibly stupid, they desire to drink and kill all humans, refusing to make humans their equal. If all the humans were turned or killed, who else would be left for them to feed on? Their numbers were growing and there will come a time when a war will break out.

If this happened after the Great Revelation, humans would definitely go against the vampires.

It won't happen immediately, the war between vampires and humans. No, humans are still too trusting. It would happen when humans who hate the vampire race or feared them persuaded the humans to rise against them, or maybe a conflict between the authority and sanguinistas could trigger this foreseeable war. Whichever goes first.

Godric closed his eyes and sighed. It was his years of experience that taught him this. He was quiet and never spoke up during the meeting of the authorities and states about the Great Reveal. They would never listen to him, despite his age and experience, his position held him lower and the authorities were stubborn.

Godric dealt with a few things before going to Louisiana, so when he was near Eric's house, it was almost sunrise. He watched from afar as he was flying towards Eric that his son's back immediately stiffened. Godric felt a rush of pride go through him, seeing that he had taught his progeny well.

With a speed that could outrun a bullet, Godric was immediately in front of Eric. Though Godric did not see it, he felt his progeny's surprise and delight through their bond. Eric immediately knelt down and bowed his head. "Godric, to what do I owe this visit?"

Godric smiled and patted Eric's head. "Rise, my child." Eric followed his command. "I have come to seek why my child has been troublesome. Should I be concerned with this problem you have?"

Eric shook his head slowly. "It is nothing. I promise."

"Has it been dealt with then?"

"No." Eric lowered his eyes to the ground.

"Then enlighten me."

Eric hesitated before speaking, "A child, named Sookie." Godric felt the same despair from his progeny a week ago and ignored it. "She was traded to be a faerie's intended."

Godric kept his face blank. "Then why are you so troubled by this?"

"It was her grandmother who spoke to me about this. And this man, who claims that Sookie is his intended, isn't just a faerie. He's a hybrid. A vampire and faerie hybrid. And as Sheriff, I have to see to it that no one is harmed or the case has to be dealt with."

"How powerful is he?"

"Very. He's over 5000 years old."

Godric thought over this for a moment. "Sunrise is arriving. We shall continue this discussion. We need to rest my child."

Eric nodded and opened the door to his house. There he let Godric in, and led him to a secret basement, where a bookcase led to a staircase. Godric chuckled, "You still design your house like Dracula would."

Eric grinned. "I'm a fan of him. And I'm very old fashioned."

Despite his age, Godric appreciated the more contemporary and modern designs of a house while Eric valued the classics. Eric led Godric to his bedroom, but his Maker shook his head. "Where will you sleep?"

"In the guest room. Of course."

"The guest room, if I recall correctly is for guests. Am I not a guest in this house?" Eric nodded. "Then I shall sleep in the guest room."

Godric was guided to the guest room which was nearer to the staircase. On the bed he laid down, listening to Eric's feet walking around, checking perimeters and doing his nightly routine in the bathroom. Godric rolled his eyes; Eric was very vain.

It was when Eric finally died for the day that Godric thought about the case of Sookie. His child usually never concerned himself of these kinds of cases that much. But that distressed emotion he felt from Eric was for the girl, not for his sake (which should have been). Why should he be so worried tremendously for this young child?

Perhaps tomorrow night, he could meet her and see what he could to help Sookie and his child, Eric.

A faerie-vampire hybrid, he had never heard of it. But maybe he could call for information from his contacts. Faeries were in hiding, but it was not an impossible feat for Godric to catch one.

The next night, Eric wanted to stay to care for his Maker, but Godric refused to burden his child. Sheriff duties were always a pain in the ass, something Godric was well informed of. Godric asked for the directions of Sookie's house and went on his own way.

He followed the scent of a faerie, which grew stronger as he passed through a forest and saw a child, running and crying in the forest. She was very young. There was a scent that he knew was supernatural but it was undeniably fae and he knew she was Sookie. Godric was concerned why a young girl was alone in a forest at night, crying. He landed on a branch and watched from a far.

She ran until she reached a nearby lake. There she continued to weep. Godric landed quietly. He made noises of his feet shuffling as to not startle the little girl. Sookie turned around and watched Godric come near her.

"Are you not afraid of me little one?" He asked as he sat next to Sookie.

She shrugged. "Not really, mister. A bunch of you keep visiting me for some reasons." Godric chuckled. Sookie wiped her tears with the back of her hand and sniffed. "Are you an angel?"

"No. I am not."

Sookie pouted. "I'm always wrong playing guess with you all."

Godric laughed and when he calmed down, he had a smile playing on his lips. Sookie smiled and wiped her face with her hands and flinched when she put too much pressure.

He looked at Sookie and frowned. "Who hurt you?"

She didn't respond instead she quietly wept again. Godric was definitely uncomfortable; he has witnessed several people cry in his mercy and had caused many grieve. But this was entirely different.

He had no desire to torture and massacre. He had no desire to hurt anyone. Not anymore. Now, he wanted to console the weeping child next to him. Slowly and awkwardly, he hugged Sookie.

She didn't resist and hugged him back. He held her like that until Sookie had finally calmed down and pulled back. Godric let go.

"I'm sorry." Sookie sniffed. "Oh no. I've ruined your shirt, mister."

Godric looked down at his shirt, there were marked with tear stains. "It is quite alright. I have several more shirts at home."

"Do you know Eric?" She smiled expectantly.

He was surprised at the sudden change of subject and her mood. "Yes. He is my friend. How do you know Eric?"

She grinned her gap-tooth smile, showing all her front teeth. "He's my prince Charming." Once more, Godric laughed. "Also, you are the only people who have blank minds."

Before he could have said anything, he heard footsteps hurriedly coming they're way. He sniffed and noted it was just a human, who slightly had Sookie's scent. Godric quickly glamoured Sookie, "Forget me and forget what had happened." Sookie nodded. He flew upwards, noting that Sookie gasped.

Did I glamour her correctly? He shook off that trail of thoughts before he once again, located himself on top of a branch that had Sookie and that kid to his view.

A young boy, who he assumed to be his brother, but did not have the same fae scent, ran to look for Sookie. "Sookie!"

Sookie turned around. In the moonlight, Godric once more was struck with apathy for the poor child. She was wearing a yellow sun dress, but it was dirty and her hair was disarray. "Jason?"

Jason followed the voice and hugged Sookie. "Lemme see."

Sookie flinched when Jason touched her face. There he gently brushed away Sookie's hair from her face and gasped. Godric, who was watching frowned in loathing.

"What did she do?" Jason asked gently.

Sookie sniffed. "She got mad 'cause I asked her to stop calling me names in her head." She wiped her nose with the back of her hand.

Jason gently shushed her. "Then what happened?"

Sookie sobbed. "She slapped me in the face and said bad words at me."

Jason hugged her tighter. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to keep you safe. I shouldn't have made you go home earlier."

"It ain't your fault. You don't have to."

"I'm your big bro. I have to." Jason sniffed and blinked away his tears. It hurt him that he wasn't there. He wished he could have protected his little sister.

Godric decided he had seen enough. He sped off to Sookie's house after making sure no harm was to come to them. There from the living room window, he watched Sookie's mother drink from a bottle of alcohol. She looked like she was going to pass out.

Godric knocked on the door. The mother stumbled before laughing out loud. When she finally managed to get up, she opened the door. "You lost or somethin' kid?"

Godric glamoured her instantly. "Sober up." Michelled blinked and stood straighter. "You will not harm Sookie or Jason. You will be a good mother to both of them. You will care and treasure for Jason and Sookie. And you will forget ever seeing me."

In a flash, he was gone. Michelle shook her head and ran to Jason and Sookie. When she saw her two kids, she clung to them. Crying and asking for forgiveness. And a promise that she will never ever hurt them again.

It was when Godric had finally decided to leave. He spared another glance at the young girl; Sookie looked up at him and mouthed the words, "Thank you."

A/N: I first wanted Eric to be the one to care of Sookie, but eventually thought of it as kind of creepy. So, Godric came to my mind. It was better with what I thought if Pam took care of Sookie. Tell me what you guys think. I'd love to hear about them.
