Chapter 3
Thousands upon thousands of random eyes were now glaring-boring right into Sookie's vision.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Sookie's thoughts were going on a full-on rampage. Sookie, eyed her great-great-great- grandfather. Feeling pure rage, and anger towards him. Stomping up the aisle in pure Sookie manor, Niall's bright smile soon fumbled in one of dread.
Sookie not now.
Niall had thought to Sookie. Well, it was way past that. She had been involved in dealing with vampire Kings and Queens, and the flipping Vampire Authority, and Vampire- Faerie hybrid. She could and would straight out her grandfather. Even, if it was in-front of powerful full-blooded faeries.
Godric was right at her side, eyes casted down, as a sign of respect. He followed in suit by Sookie's side.
Why? Sookie thought.
"Because you are my heir. You need protection."
"Protection from what, I think I've been doing great so far. No, thanks to you."
"Sookie, can we talk about this in private?"
"I'm fine thanks." Sookie self-confidently took Godric's hand in her own. Already feeling courage and strength from him. "Leave us!" Niall's voice carried over the air.
Many faeries popped out of site. Leaving only three beings left in- sight.
"Didn't you hear your prince?"
"Godric is mine!" Godric tightened his grip. Encouraging Sookie that this was the right decision. Niall looked angered, "You choose a vampire over your own kin? I was prepared to make you a princess, my heir. You could have all of the faeries behind you."
"Well, vampires have always been a part of my life. Which, I can more than say for you. Godric has been a most loyal friend to me, and you treat him like a child treats a dragonfly. Pulling off wings for sport. No wonder I would prefer vampires over my own kind." Godric's eyes widened; recognizing, the same words he had spoken before his death.
Sookie tightened the already tightened hold on Godric's hand. Pouring out pure power, and popped out of the room; leaving an old man without a grand-daughter.
Sookie had popped out of the throne room, and into her house. Memories flooding back to her, making her stumble down to the floor. Godric was there beside her, catching her before she could fall. His eyes were full of wonder and awe. Godric couldn't believe this faerie-human, how at all odds she could do just about anything once she sat her mind to it. How, she named him hers. Feeling a sense of power and possession. When she had used his own words against her great-grandfather. It had brought such hidden emotion, all he wanted to do was to feel her beneath him. But, sensing the state his Sookie was in Godric felt like he should hold back.
Godric could see Sookie. Her eyes were now casting out liquid that brought the smell of salt to Godric's nose. He didn't remember the smell, vampires couldn't produce tears, well not normal human tears. The smell of salt was foreign to him, just like dealing with human emotions. Godric, was there by her side through the night. Sookie, didn't mutter a word they just sat there in silence. Godric understood that Sookie had faced many things. With his childe and Bill Compton. Letting her vent out all of her feelings Godric couldn't and wouldn't judge her for having such feelings.
Godric kept on rubbing her as Sookie's tears were now subsided. Sookie looked up, her cheeks reddened. "I'm sorry Godric."
"Hush my child. You have nothing to be sorry for. I should be the one apologizing."
"Apologize? Godric, you have nothing to apologize for."
"Yes I do. Sookie, if I had taught my childe more. Then, maybe you would be with him. Maybe, he could have saved you from all of this heartbreak."
"Godric, I've made all of my decisions. I never regretted them. It is true that Eric and Bill made my life for what it is now. Without meeting Bill, I wouldn't have met Eric. During the time the witches had erased his memories, the Eric that was left behind was of vulnerable nature. Those were the best days of my life. But when Eric had his memories back, I didn't want to face the feelings that I felt head on. I always pushed him back, when he was always there for me. So you see Godric, it wasn't your fault. I mean if you did stay maybe Eric wouldn't have gone towards the direction that he went. Overall, you have nothing to apologize for."
Godric's finger grazed Sookie's cheek, then stopped on her lips. Godric could hear the increase of beats Sookie's heart was making and smirked. Sookie's breath hitched.
Is he going to kiss me? Sookie's thoughts thought.
Then he turned his body to the other direction letting Sookie's heart take a break. "Dawn is arriving. Is there anywhere I can stay for the day?"
"Yyyeah…"
Godric smiled and replied, "Like to show me?"
Sookie nodded in response and led the way to the cubby.
