Chapter 10 – Violent Delights
I sat down beside the door, my head resting against it; I could just about hear the muffled voices
"I think you're out of you mind and than I hear about a traitorIrrelevant.
"Only a rumor. I'll take full responsibility."
"You bet your ass you will" God the woman was a bitch
"You cold bitch" I couldn't help but smile at Eric actually getting to say what i wanted to say to her
"Listen, this is a national vampie disaster and nobody at the top has any sympathy for you, Sherif you fucked up you're fired"
"I agree of course, Isabel should take over, she had no part in my disgrace" Why was he being so calm about all this?
"Godric fight back" Isabel said
"She's a beaurocrat you don't have to take shit from her"
"You wanna lose your area viking?"
"Oh you don't have that kind of power"
"Hey I'm on TV try me. Well. It seems there is someone outside who wants to join us, someone get the door, now!" Stupid vampire hearing, I could do two things, I could walk in that room my head held high, or I could run as far away from this door as possible, my legs chose the second option and I ran back to my room, my subconscious judging me for being such a coward. Who can blame me, Nan Flannigan was one scary
"You want me don't you. You can feel it, feel the heat running through you. I could take you right her right now, or I just kill you, or I could do both, either way I decide"
"No. Don't you dare touch me"
"But you want this Bri"
"Leave me alone I don't want you!
"Too late, you have me"
Before I had even opened my eyes my hand grabbed my neck, I felt my breathing become out of control. This time it was so real, I felt the pain. His teeth digging into my neck, the blood trailing down my body. Why me? I thought. Why can't I have never stood up for that man in the alley or go to the FOTS meeting. I f I hadn't I could be at home right now, crushing on celebrities and worrying about my hair. Instead I'm worrying if I'm going to get bitten to death by a vampire or crucified by a maniac with a cross. I was really starting to believe that that destiny stuff is absolute crap. I looked up finally to realise I was still in my clothes, I must of crashed out, who knows when. My mind kept going back to the dream. How could I dream about someone doing very x rated things to me and then dreaming about him hacking my neck with his teeth the next? I defiantly didn't want to see him, that's not what I wanted right now; the further away I was from him the better. I blame my teenage hormones for what I did. I was not thinking straight, if I was I would have kicked him in the balls again. The knock on my door stopped my evil thoughts of torture. I opened it to see Sookie standing there, tears forming in her eyes.
"Sookie what's wrong?"
"It's Godric he's gonnna meet the sun, he's going to kill himself"
"Where is he?" Sookie quickly led me to the roof. I didn't know what I was doing, but I had to do something, he was mad to do this
"I think Eric's already up there" I just nodded and walked heading for the roof.
All of a sudden it felt like one of those movies where everything was in slow motion. I could see Eric kneeling I front of Godric his back to me. Godric's hand on his shoulder, weirdly it looked like he was smiling. Eric got up and turned towards me. Blood trailing from his eyes, he looked terrible, so sad. He walked towards the door behind me only looking at me for a moment and then looked behind me, It was like he couldn't bear to look at me. Once he left I looked at Godric smiling at me, everything seemed normal again.
"Hello Briseis, I'm glad to see you"
"Don't 'Hello Briseis' me. What are you doing?"
"I am leaving, It is time" He turned away from me and walked away further down the roof
"Godric, please don't do this, just stay. He never turned around, just stared ahead with his back to me.
"There is no need for me to be here anymore, it is my time to go. It really was an honour to meet you Briseis, but I do not want you to see this"
"Why are you so desperate to die? Not even most people are this desperate when they have reasons and people to live for"
"You are right, most 'People' are not this desperate, but I am not a person Briseis, I am a monster. For years I have craved to have that passion, that warmth that each human has so easily given to them. I find myself jealous, a powerful vampire jealous of a little girl because of that innocence in her eyes, her world so different to mine. That is why I must go; I cannot go on like this, living in this lie."
"One more night" This idea had to work and I knew I was desperate to try anything.
"Excuse me" Finally he turned his head towards me
"Just give me one more night, sort of like a goodbye, let me show you what it is like to be human, live a human life what could it hurt, it's just one night, then I won't stop you, please just give me this one thing"
He just chuckled at my request, "Such maturity in such a young woman, I must say it is very refreshing"
"So, will you do it?"
"Yes" I smiled, it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was something.
"On one condition, you must not tell Eric, if he were to find out he would think of it as a hesitation and beg me all over again, he does not need that"
"Okay" Right now I didn't even feel bad about lying to Eric; right now I was just happy Godric had agreed to this
"I will meet you at sundown, do you see this park?" I looked over the roof and saw a small park a few minutes away, it was easy to get there from here.
"Thank you" There was nothing else I could think of to say to him. He simply just nodded and left.
Right now I probably looked like a stalker, creeping around and peering round corners but I really did not want to see Eric, if I saw him all broken up I might have told him Godric was still alive, but I made my promise to Godric and I was going to stick with it. I had managed to make to the door to my room when I heard a familiar voice, scaring the crap out of me.
"Bri! Where the heck have you been?" After my heart got its normal rhythm back I opened my door and dragged Sookie in with me
"Why are you hiding from Eric? Stupid Mind reader
"Hay!"
"Sorry, force of habit"
"It's okay, now spill, why are you hiding from Eric, did something happen between you two?" Her face smug like she already knew what had happened"
"Yes we- that's not what this is about" it was pretty obvious I couldn't lie. I took a breath ready to tell
"Godric's still alive"
"No he's not, I just saw Eric and he's a complete mess, he's just sitting in his room, eyes full of blood" She saw my confused face, "Oh that's how they cry, vampire thing" Now I felt worse, Eric must be distraught, my guilty conscious surfacing. The look on Sookie's face said it all she knew without me even have to tell her, maybe this mind reading thing wasn't too bad. Her smile fading into a frown
"Oh my god Bri!"
"I know but it's the only thing I could do to keep him alive for just one day, what was I supposed to do?"
"I don't know. But you realise If Eric finds out, it won't matter what happened between you, you do realise that"
"Yes that is why I promised Godric I wouldn't tell. You saw how upset Eric was, it's not gonna help him to know that Godric is alive for just one more day, please don't say anything Sookie" Her face now looking like a mom disappointed in her child.
"Fine, but I'm not happy about you doing this" She opened the door ready to leave
"You owe me one; I won't let you forget that"
"I know I really do. Thank you Sookie" As soon as she left went to lie on my bed, if I slept during the day I would be wide awake for tonight. I fell asleep thinking of ways to keep make Godric's last day as human and innocent as possible.
I am so sorry for the neglect. I have a block and it's really not fun
Tell me what you think
