Keely sighed as she waved to the bell boy and the man beside him walked over to her.

"AB?" she asked and he nodded and sat beside her as she clicked out her fangs and bite into his neck.

"Oh yeah, baby bite me right there" he moaned and she pulled back.

"Ok tone it down, you're starting to piss me off" she said and he nodded and she went back to the bite and heard him groaned slightly before she sighed.

"You can go, put the cost on Eric Northman's tab" she said and he nodded and walked off, leaving her alone.

"I see you like the shoes" she heard Godric say and saw him behind her and smiled.

"Yeah, did you get these for me?" she asked and he smiled.

"I had to thank you somehow" he said and she frowned.

"Thank me? What for? You shielded me" she said and he smiled.

"I meant about showing me that I can be happy and I am...with you" he said and she smiled and he sat down beside her and kissed her lips gently.

"How old are you two?" asked a human's voice and they saw a woman, begin to glare at them.

"You're kids, get out" she snapped and Godric stood, human speed.

"I am 2000 years old. You are the 'kid' you leave" he said and she gasped and looked at the smiling Keely.

"Her?" she stuttered.

"200" Godric lied and the woman nodded and scurried off.

"She's right, I am technically only 17" she said and he grinned.

"I'm only 19, so what? Not like she can really do anything" he said and she smiled and kissed him. She felt him deepen the kiss and place his hand on her leg.

"Ahem" she heard Eric say and they pulled apart and she stood and glared at Eric.

"Keely" he said and she huffed and went to storm away when he grabbed her arm and pulled her back and looked at her, sternly.

"Do not speak to me like you did before again, understood?" he asked and she sighed.

"Eric, I know you did it for the right reasons but that doesn't make it right" she said and he sighed.

"I know but I do not regret it Keely, I never will" he said and she sighed and smiled softly.

"I know, just let me pout for a while ok?" she asked and he smiled softly and loving flicked her chin. She gave him a smile and then looked at Godric.

"I'll see you later" he said and she nodded and left the bar and then Eric looked at Godric.

"Nan is here" he said and Godric nodded and they headed to his room.

"You have to come with us" Eric said and Keely frowned as he and Godric walked her from her room to Godric and Isabel's suite. They entered and she saw a blonde woman with two bodyguards along with Bill, Isabel and Sookie. She sat beside Eric in the large chair as Godric sat on the sofa beside Isabel and nearest to the blonde woman. Keely knew right away that she was only here because she was with Eric and so she kept her mouth shut.

"Do you have any fucking idea of the PR mess you've made? And who has to fucking clean that shit up? Me! Not you, me. I should drain every one of you bastards" the blonde, who Keely had been told was Nan Flanagan, Head of the American Vampire League, said and all of them, apart from Godric, glared at the woman.

"Stan came went to the church on his own. None of us knew anything about it" Eric said.

"Oh really? Coz everyone who meet Stan in the last 300 years knew he had a thing about slaughtering humans, but you his nest mates, his sheriff, had no clue" Nan said sarcastically.

"And how were we supposed to know that this time he meant it?" Isabel asked angrily.

"Not my problem, yours" Nan said and looked at Godric.

"Don't talk to him that way" Eric said coldly.

"Don't talk to me that way" Nan replied with a cold smile as Keely and Eric glared.

"Let's get to the point, how did they manage to abduct you?" Nan asked Godric.

"They would have taken one of us sooner or later. I offered myself" Godric admitted and Eric, Keely, Isabel, Sookie and Bill looked at him shocked as did Nan and her bodyguards.

"Why?" Nan frowned.

"Why not?" he replied, smartly.

"They wanted you to meet the sun and you were willing?" Nan asked.

"What do you think" Godric replied, not looking at Eric or Keely.

"I think you're out of your mind" Nan said and Keely agreed with the blonde.

"And then I hear about a traitor" Nan said.

"Irrelevant" Godric shot down Nan and Eric and Keely smirked, not even bothering to hide their amusement.

"Only a rumour, I'll take full responsibility" he said.

"Yes you bet you will" Nan said.

"You cold bitch" Keely couldn't stop herself from saying and the blonde looked at her as Eric gently placed his hand on her knee, reassuringly.

"Listen this is a national vampire disaster and nobody at the top has any sympathy for any of you" Nan said.

"Sheriff you fucked up, you're fired" Nan said and they all gasped and stared.

"I agree. Of course, Isabel should take over, she had no part in my disgrace" Godric said and Eric and Isabel and Keely looked at him as Isabel began to protest.

"Godric fight back" she said.

"She's a bureaucrat you don't have to take shit from her" Eric said loudly.

"You wonna lose your area Viking" Nan said and Keely and Eric glared at her.

"You don't have that kind of power" he smirked.

"Hey I'm on T.V, try me" she smirked as Keely glared and Eric squeezed her knee, trying to calm her.

"I'm to blame. I should have contained Stan the second Godric went missing..." Isabel began.

"Stop it Isabel" Godric said and she went silent.

"I remove myself from all positions of authority" he said.

"Works for me" Nan agreed and they all saw Sookie move.

"Sookie, Sookie" Bill said and grabbed her elbow.

"I owe him. Miss Flanagan, Godric rescued me from a really large rapist, who probably would have killed me too" Sookie said and Godric looked at the blonde with a soft smile.

"That's nice" Nan said, absently.

"No listen to me" Sookie said.

"Moving on" Nan said, interrupting Sookie.

"He also save dozens of humans and vampire's in that church. You think that's a PR mess, now. It could have been a hundred, a million times worse. You should thank him" Sookie said.

"For getting kidnapped, for attracting a suicide bomber? For piss-pour jugement? I think not" Nan snarled and Eric stood and moved towards Nan.

"Don't" Keely said, jumping up and grabbing Eric's arm, placing herself between him and Nan.

"Eric" Godric said softly.

"It doesn't matter" Godric said and Eric and Keely looked at the older male. Eric looked at her then Godric and allowed Keely to lead him back to the seat where she sat beside him.

"Tell me about the bombing please, every single detail" Nan asked.

"A boy walked into the lair. I thought he was someone's human companion..." Godric began.

"What a fucking fiasco. You're lucky I don't send you all to the Magistar. Godric come to my suite and fill out the forms" Nan said after Godric had explained to her the bombing incident.

"Soon, first I have something to say" Godric said.

"I'm sorry" Godric said and glanced at Keely then Eric.

"I apologise for all the harm I have caused, for all our lost ones. Human and Vampire, I will make amends, I swear" he promised and Eric and Keely glanced at each other.

"Take it easy. It's just a few signatures" Nan said as she stood and left the room. Eric stood as Godric walked towards them.

"No" Eric said and Godric looked at Eric and then a confused Keely.

"Look into my eyes" Godric said.

"You have to listen to me" Eric protested softly.

"There's nothing to say" Godric replied softly.

"There is" Eric protested and Godric looked at him and then Keely.

"On the roof" he said and then looked at Keely.

"Will you?" he asked and she nodded and the two heard Sookie and Bill gasp as they held hands and left the room.

"What does Eric mean? What's going on?" she asked as he led her slowly to the roof.

"I wish to leave" he said and she nodded.

"Ok, so come with us back to Louisiana. You can stay with us and I can show you how to be a teenager again" she said and he smiled gently at her.

"I mean leave permanently" he said and she frowned.

"What does that mean? Can we even do that?" she asked and he sighed.

"Sunlight" he said and she gasped.

"No, no. I won't let you" she said and stopped, pulling him to a stop too. He looked at her and sighed when he saw the blood tears.

"I have been around..." he began.

"Yeah for 2,000 years, I know. But you can't leave. I just got you, I can't just let you walk out into the sunlight and burn. I can't let you do that to me...to Eric" she said and he looked at her.

"You are very beautiful Keely" he said softly and then she felt him brush away a tear.

"Then stay with me. Be with me, come and live with me and Eric and Pam" she said and he sighed.

"I am tired Keely" he said and she whimpered.

"No. Godric I..." she said and he kissed her and then before she could move, he was gone.

"Keely" she heard Eric say and spun around.

"Sunlight Eric, we have to stop him" she said and he looked at her, stunned.

"The sun will be up soon, you have to go and rest" he said.

"No! I am not going to bed while Godric could be dying. No way in Hell" she said and he looked at her.

"Keely..." he began.

"Don't you fucking dare Eric. I walked away from killing my father because you ordered me to. I walked away from my family, my friends. Don't you dare ask me to walk away from him too" she snarled and he looked at her.

"You love him" he said and she nodded.

"Yes" she said and he sighed.

"He went to the roof" he said and she nodded and they ran to the roof and saw Godric there, looking towards the horizon.

"Godric please don't" she begged and he looked at her as she ran to him. Godric sighed and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly.

"2,000 years is enough" Godric said as Keely clung to him as he held her tightly.

"I cannot accept this" Eric replied.

"Me neither" Keely whimpered.

"It's insanity" Eric added, the white of his eyes slowly turned red.

"Our existence is insanity" Godric replied, calmly.

"We don't belong here" Godric said and then Eric and Keely both lost it.

"But we are here!" she shouted, pulling back and Godric looked at her. Her face was covered with her blood tears, her brown eyes held a sadness he hadn't seen in hundreds of years and yet, he had never seen anything so beautiful.

"It's not right, we're not right" Godric said.

"You taught me that there is no right or wrong only survival or death" Eric replied, desperately.

"I told a lie, as it turns out" Godric replied softly, looking at his child and then Keely.

"I will keep you alive by force" Eric said as he walked towards Godric beside Keely.

"Even if you could, why would you be so cruel?" Godric asked softly and Keely let out another sob as Eric tried to stop his own tears. Keely began to cry and Godric felt his long dead heart jolt painfully at the sound. He gently pulled her back and she clung to him as she sobbed into his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her, looking at Eric over her shoulder as the two began to talk in Eric's native language of old Swedish.

"Godric, don't do it" Eric begged.

"There are centuries of faith and love between us" Godric replied softly and Eric began to cry.

"Please. Please" he cried and Keely gasped at the pure pain and agony that slammed into her from Eric, making her own pain, a million times worse. Godric watched Eric fall to his knees, trying to think reasonably past all of Eric's pain and the small connected of pain he felt from Eric, that was Keely.

"Please Godric" Eric whimpered.

"Father. Brother, son" Godric said and Eric's cries became louder.

"Let me go" Godric asked and felt Keely pull away and look at him and he saw the blood coming from her nose and then remembered the brunette was only a month old. If she stayed awake much longer, she could get seriously hurt.

"Keely you must rest" he said and she looked at him.

"As I told Eric, there is no way in hell I am resting while you two are up here. I cannot lose either one of you" she cried and he looked at her.

"Rest Keely" Eric said and she looked at him.

"But Eric I..." she began.

"As your maker I command you, rest now" he said and she gasped and then burst into loud sobs as Eric's order over took her and she raced from the roof.

"I won't let you die alone" Eric said strongly.

"Yes you will, Keely cannot lose you now" he replied and Eric whimpered as he could still feel his daughter's pure agony as she was forced to rest. Godric reached out and gently stroked Eric's head, hating himself for what he had to do, to save Eric and to save Keely.

"As your maker..." Godric began and Eric looked up at him, fearfully.

"...I command you" Godric finished softly and Eric smiled the smallest smile he had ever given as the order over took him and he walked to the exit where Sookie stood.

"I'll stay with him. As long as it takes" Sookie promised and Eric nodded as he headed for his daughter's room.

"It won't take long, not at my age" Godric said softly as he faced the horizon again.

"You know it wasn't very smart, the fellowship of the sun part" Sookie said.

"I know, I thought it might...fix everything somehow" he admitted.

"But I don't think like a vampire anymore" he said and then slowly turned to look at her.

"Do you believe in God?" he asked.

"Yes" she said and he looked at her.

"If you're right, how will he punish me?" he asked and she shook her head.

"God doesn't punish, God forgives" she said.

"I don't deserve it, but I hope for it" he said.

"We all do" she said and he nodded.

"You'll care for him? Eric?" Godric asked a few minutes later.

"I'm not sure. You know how he is" she replied and he gave her a soft smile.

"I can take the blame for that too" he said.

"Maybe not, Eric's pretty much himself" Sookie said.

"What about Keely?" Sookie asked and Godric closed his eyes.

"I love her" he said and Sookie gasped.

"Then why are you doing this?" she asked.

"Because I do not think like a vampire anymore" he said and she sighed.

"That's not a reason, it's an excuse. Keely loves you, I heard her admit it to Eric. If you love each other then you should be together" she said.

"But I cannot" he said.

"Why? Why not? Why can't you have what everyone wants? Love" she said and he sighed.

"Because I do not deserve it" he said and she sighed.

"Everyone deserves love, no matter who they are. Vampire, human, zombie" she said with a small smile.

"I have killed so many" he said.
