Chapter 7 – Impulses
"You!" Yup, that answered my question. He stood up and just glared at me, I really didn't like the way he was looking at me, I turned to see Sookie looking at me totally confused,
"You two know each other?"I knew I had to say something,
"We've met, once was enough" I tried to give him an angry look, but every time I looked at him, I saw my dreams of him and me, very close together, there was that little part of me that just wanted to grab him and run my hands through his hair, feel is lips with mine, feel- What is wrong with me? I saw Sookie look at me, she seemed a bit disgusted, then it hit me, Telepath, I felt my cheeks get red again. I changed the mental subject,
"I can't believe your Godric's child, you don't deserve a maker like him" Godric looked at me sadness in his eyes, "Briseis please," It was too late, Eric already rose to his feet and walked slowly towards me, I felt exactly like I did the first day we met, my courage was slowly shrinking away. His eyes looking down at my face, my breathing started to escalate, and unfortunately Eric noticed, he grinned at my reaction, Arrogant Vampire.
"Not so brave now are we" I had no idea why I was so angry, maybe because of his attitude, maybe because he was in my head 24/7, I had never had romantic dreams about anyone, and my first ones had to be about him. It was all his fault! I just snapped at kicked him in the one place no man (Vampire or not) was defiantly not invincible. I couldn't help but be cocky when I saw him growl and kneel back on the floor,
"Not so tough now are we". I heard Sookie mutter next to me "Go Bri." Once he managed to get back up, I saw him lunge towards me, and for some reason I didn't move
"Eric Stop!" we both turned round to see Godric looking more like a father telling of his child then an angry vampire. "Both of you stop now," Godric looked at Eric he seemed upset,
"You were a fool for sending humans after me" Eric now seemed like a child being told off.
"I had no other choice, these savages they seek to destroy you."
"I am aware of what they have planned, this one betrayed you" He pointed towards Hugo who was still unconscious, either that or a heavy sleeper. Sookie stepped to tell him what she knew,
"He's with the fellowship, they set a trap for us, then Bri was put down here for interacting with Godric" Eric didn't seem to care about any of this, he continued to look at Godric,
"How long has it been since you fed?" Godric looked back to his child and simply said
"I require very little blood anymore" We suddenly heard sirens go off and shouting from upstairs
"That doesn't sound good" I looked at Sookie who nodded her head in agreement Godric looked at us then back at Eric,
"Save the girls, he looked around the room, "Go on"
Eric did not look happy with his request, "I am not leaving your side", I couldn't believe what I was about to say,
"Eric's right, we can't just leave you here alone" Eric looked back at me, surprised by my change of attitude.
"I can take care of myself" Sookie grabbed my arm and walked towards Eric and Godric
"Come on we have to go"
"I need to speak to Briseis", Eric seemed bemused by Godric's request, Sookie looked at me looking for reassurance, I nodded at her and said, "It's okay I'll be right behind you" Eric led Sookie up to the stairs, as I looked at Godric, "What's wrong?"
He looked serious, which I didn't like, "Make sure he spills no blood on your way out"
"I'll try" I knew that was going to be difficult, but I could always threaten to kick him again.
"Now go" He motioned towards the stairs. I did what I was told and ran to catch up with Sookie and Eric. I looked out of the door to see Sookie and Eric behind a wall looking for a way out, without being noticed. I could see people hurrying in groups, and young men armed with crossbows and stakes, I couldn't believe how young they looked, it was crazy. I heard Steve's voice over the speakers, "Brothers and sisters, we are on Lockdown, woman with children, please take them to our classroom building. Men, security personnel will supply you with stakes and silver, our soldiers of the sun are on their way to protect our church, if you could evacuate the building quickly and efficiently. Brothers and sisters the hour is upon us." I couldn't believe people actually believed what was coming out of this assholes mouth, suddenly I remembered,
"My dad, I have to find my dad!" I was about to run towards the doors when Eric grabbed my arm, pressing on it hard, "You are not going anywhere" he hissed, "I'm following Godric's orders to get you out of her and that is what I am going to do," I tried to wriggle free of his wrist,
"You don't understand, he might get hurt him because of me, I have to find him," He still didn't let go, I just glared at him, he glared back, it was like there was no one else there, until Sookie finally interrupted our – To be honest I had no idea what It was.
"Bri, listen to me, if what you told about your dad and Caroline is true, they won't hurt them. They need as many people as possible to help them. I promise they will be okay" I knew she was right; I just didn't want to leave him.
"Okay" I looked at Eric's hand on my arm, and looked back up at him, "You can let go of my arm now, I won't do anything" I was surprised at how sincere I sounded, he seemed surprised too, there was no sarcasm no anger, even weirder was that when he let go of my arm I missed it, the feeling of his skin on mine, it was the closest we'd had to contact, except for his hands around my throat, but I try to forget that one. I wanted to ask him about something.
"I can't believe Godric is your maker" He looked back at me and simply said,
"Don't use words you don't understand"
"You must love him if you came all this way to save him" I knew he did, he would do anything for Godric, I felt like I was seeing a whole new Eric, Not Eric scary vampire, Eric the caring child. I could see something in his eyes, he almost seemed sad. He looked at me for a moment just staring,
"Don't use words I don't understand" He turned back to lookout. Finally everyone was gone; all that was left were a few men with their stakes and silver closing the doors. Eric stepped forward
"Eric no" I couldn't let him just let him walk into a group of vampire haters, with stakes and silver. It's suicide. He turned back to me, this time his eyes were blazing, I could tell. He leant towards, I swear I stopped breathing. His lips inches away from my ear it felt like they were on fire, how could I love his face being so close to mine when I hated him only minutes ago.
"Trust me" There was probably so many reasons, so many excuses for what I did next, all I knew was that I didn't regret it. I didn't regret putting my hand up to his cheek, and I defiantly did not regret crashing my lips against his, it seemed that he didn't either, because once he got over the shock he continued the kiss, I had never felt anything more amazing then what I was feeling now, I just wanted to stay like this, His lips pressed on mine, I had no idea what to do, I just acted on instinct, it looked like it was working. I finally had to stop when I needed to oxygen, Stupid need to breath. Even then we never moved away from each other his lips hovered over mine. I felt my cheeks hot up when I heard Sookie make a very unconvincing cough. I saw a smile forming on Eric's mouth as he looked at Sookie then back at me
"Sorry to interrupt this – well whatever the hell this is, but we really need to get out of here" Eric finally spoke "Another time" I just nodded, I didn't trust myself to speak, unless I wanted to talk absolute crap. He walked towards the men; suddenly he changed from tall, gracious vampire to, hunch backed, and sloppy human. It was like he was a different person.
"Oh hey ya'll how's it going, Steve sent me to man the exit, I think I can take it from here" I wondered if he ever considered acting. The guards seemed to buy it.
"You here by yourself," One asked, "No offence in all but there's a vampire on the loose
"Oh," he responded, another guy stepped in he looked the exact same age as me, Idiot I thought,
"Where's your stake?"
"Oh dang I forgot, maybe I can borrow yours if that's okay"
"I can't do that, get your own"
"I very much would like to borrow your stake" What was he doing? I was expecting the guy to tell him to stick it, but instead he said "Yea that would be okay I guess" he handed the stake to Eric. What the hell was that? I didn't have time to question anything else, a man stepped behind Eric ready to pounce, Sookie and I both reacted and shouted "STAKE!" Eric pushed the guy behind him, sending him flying; he managed to push the others and grabbed the last guy putting his stake up to his neck, Sookie and I ran up to him, "Eric don't kill him" I told him, remembering my promise to Godric.
"Come on" He opened the exit door only to see the soldiers coming into the church. Sookie lead the way this time, "Into the Sanctuary" She lead us towards the part that Steve showed me, where they were going to kill Godric. We made our way inside
"Where's the exit" Eric asked
"Back that way" Sookie pointed straight ahead
"There are several exits actually" I knew that voice. I hated that voice. I looked to see Steve Newlin walk in front of us next to the alter "For you the easiest one takes you straight to hell, Well hello again Bri, I thought you might make friends down there, seeing as you are all vampire fuckers" I heard a growl escape Eric's lips."
"Hi Steve, I see your still talking shit, oh there's dirt on your suit. Maybe God will smite you" I saw Eric smirk at my comment.
Doors slammed open to reveal soldiers of the sun, a second door opened to reveal other men. Sookie spoke first
"Let us leave, safe yourselves, no one has to die"
"The war has begun, you evil whore of Satan" I just wanted to run up to him and punch him in the face, the guy was mental. "You vampires cast the first stove by killing my family. The lines have been drawn, your either with us or against us, we are prepared for Armageddon"
"The vampire your holding prisoner got away, he's a sheriff, and he's bound to get help"
"I'm not concerned with Godric, any vampire will do for our grand celebration, and we got one right here" No. I looked towards Eric, his face was expressionless, he just looked at me, "I'll be fine" How could he know that? Eric walked towards Steve his head low, Steve just smiled
"Brother's and Sister's, there will be a Holy bonfire at dawn" His chuckle made the hair on my arms stick up. "Let's get started" I couldn't just stand here. I walked up to Steve, his smile stick stuck on his face.
"Why are you doing this? You think that by killing Vampires like this, God will reward you, you know nothing. You're just some fucked up psycho who is treating everyone else like your errand runners". I turned around to the others, "Don't you see he's using you, he's made you think that this is the right thing to do. It's not. Its-"I was stopped by the sound of Steve clapping
"Well Bri, I must say it's a shame you didn't join us, you would make an excellent speaker"
"Go to hell" He laughed at my outburst
"Oh no my dear, I have my place in heaven, and you, you have your place in hell. Take her" I felt to men grab my arms, and drag me back down to where Sookie was, she also had two men holding her.
"Some silver chains please" I couldn't look, all I heard was Eric hiss and moan, how could I have gone from enjoying the fact that I hurt him to hating to see him in pain, in less than 2 hours? I finally looked up to see Eric lying on the altar, chains covering his wrists, ankles and neck. His fangs were out, he looked so hurt. Steve finally spoke
"You see, just as our Lord or Saviour was betrayed with 30 pieces of silver, a few ounces of silver can betray a child of Satan to the world." This time Sookie shouted "That doesn't even make sense, how can you people listen to him" I heard Eric's low voice, it was shaky and unlike him
"I, I offered myself in exchange for Godric's freedom, and the girls as well"
"Well that was noble, but there both as involved with this as you are, they are both traitors to their race, the human race, they hardly deserves mercy, now we could choose one to meet the sun with you, will be the blonde or the brunette, I bet either one will burn up nicely. Sookie and I both struggled. Suddenly there was loud banging and screaming. A dark haired man ran through the doors, "SOOKIE!" I was guessing this was Bill
"One more step vampire and the girl dies" Steve said pointing the gun towards Sookie
"If you shoot her, everyone here will die" Bill threatened "Let her go now" Steve sighed
"Honestly what do they see in you, soldiers some silver chains for our friend here"
"Don't he's done nothing to you" Sookie shouted
"Sookie I will be fine"
"NEWLIN!" I turned around to see a blond haired man with a paintball gun, (better than nothing) on the balcony; He fired a shot at Steve catching his hand making him drop the gun.
Steve moaned in pain. "Let her go Fuckwat!" The blond guy shouted, this time his shot got Steve right on the forehead. I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing.
"Ow, Ow, Son of a bitch" Steve yelled in pain. Bill ran for Sookie knocking the guys holding her to the ground. The ones holding me got scared and ran. Eric I thought, I ran towards the alter taking the chins of Eric, it was like taking chewing gum of a table, it stuck to his skin. "Come on" I grabbed his arm to help him up, then let go, I still had no idea what the deal was with us but I just wanted to get out of her and find my dad. Eric lunged for Steve, his fangs still out. He held him to the floor, "Eric do not kill him!" Sookie yelled from where she was standing, "Kill him, kill the motherfucker" The blond one shouted back.
"Go ahead, murder us, murder us before God, we are willing to die" No one else seemed to like that idea from Steve. Large double doors suddenly burst open to show lots and of vampires walking through. The man at the front, who was wearing a big cowboy hat, spoke first, "Steve Newlin, you pushed us to far. You expect us to just sit on our thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us; we'll kill you first same way we did your father." That didn't sound good.
"Murderer!" Steve screamed
"Destroy them, all of them" The vampire snarled. All you could see was blurs, next thing I knew a vampire was behind me, their arm in front of neck. "Hey" Sookie shouted, "She's with us" the vampire behind me let go and I went to her. "Thanks"
"No problem"
"We have to go" Bill said he grabbed Sookie's arm and headed to the door's I followed
"Enough!" I looked up to see Godric standing on a balcony above the alter. At least he's still alive I thought.
