Author's Note: Hello guys so one reviewer had a question on how many days or years had passed since Sookie was gone in Faerie. So I edited this chapter to add a tiny snippet of just how many days or years that she had been absent. So I hope this chapter clears up some questions that you guys may of had.

Chapter 5

Sookie didn't sleep that much last night. Thoughts of Godric and Eric swam through her mind. Going over the Pros and Cons of what telling Eric about Godric would do to Eric, and to imagine the betrayal that Godric would indeed feel if she went behind his back. She didn't think, he would ever come to trust her again if she did go behind his back. Which made Sookie think that she should wait until Godric was ready to reveal his presence to his childe.

It was mid-day now, and Sookie didn't accomplish anything. Sookie was curious though at how much must have happened when she was gone. Sookie wanted to see her brother, Jason, to know what he was up to. She wanted to call Tara, her best-friend, that would go to hell and back to know where she must have been. To see Sam, and how he had moved on. But, Sookie couldn't forget about Godric that was asleep and vulnerable to just about anyone who could enter her house. Making Sookie all the more cautious to not leave, to add on to all of that, Sookie just couldn't imagine where Alex was. Sookie's crazy ex- shifter boyfriend, the one who had shot her.

But, Sookie had to at least thank him in her head. If it wasn't for this gunshot, Sookie wouldn't have Godric back in her life. Sookie smiled at that.

A thought made its presence known, and Sookie just about fell to the ground. Remembering last time when she had popped into Faerie, and then popped back down. As soon as night fell Eric and Bill had felt her and rushed to be by her side as the sun was gone. Which meant she had to keep Godric in the cubby when he awoke.

Walking towards her kitchen and pulling off a sheet of paper from her little notepad from her refrigerator. She grabbed a pen and wrote a quick note. Hopefully, Godric would see it and heed its warning. As soon as she taped it to the inside of the door of the cubby. Night was creeping closer and closer. She closed the cubby's door to hear a knock at her front door. She shifted her weight, and went towards her front door. But she stopped, her heart pumping an extra mile a minute. If she had anything in her hands it would have fallen to the floor. In-front of her was Alex. The guy who had killed her. He had morphed with age, but that didn't stop him from inching closer to Sookie.

"How? Sookie… "

"Don't walk another step you Crazy-Ass, Jerk!" Crazy-Ass, Jerk Sookie that's the best you could come up with?

"Now, Sookie. I don't know how you're alive right now. After all, I shot you 5 years ago. But then you disappeared into light. And for all of those five years everyday I've ben wondering where you went. Everyday I've been coming here, knowing that sooner or later you would show up again by some unknown miracle. As I said before if I can't have you. No one can!" This wasn't good. Sookie could now see Alex ripping his clothes off one by one, he was about to shift. But shift into what? Sookie didn't have to wait long. A leopard was now in-front of her, hissing at Sookie. As if saying, "You're dead, run"

Sookie started on a run and got to the back door. Opening it and running a full-sprint towards the woods at the back of her house. Sookie didn't get far though, hearing a cry from behind. But Sookie's legs didn't stop, as a ripping sound followed.

Sookie didn't want to get close to death, again. But, Sookie was stopped and picked up into someone's arms. He was whispering sweet and relaxing words towards her. Sookie instantly recognized the voice to the man. It was Eric. He was here and he had just saved her. Again.

"Eric…"

"Sshhh… Its ok now Sookie. You're safe. How I missed you after all these years." Eric whispered. Sookie wrapped her arms around him tightly. Needing his strong arms and sweet words of comfort. Tears kept on coming down Sookie's cheeks. Sookie leaned into Eric and that just made her cry even more. To know that she was gone a total of five years and to know his maker is alive, well the closest to alive a 2,000 year old vampire can get, and she couldn't tell him.

It seemed like minutes passed, and Sookie felt Eric go stiff. "Sookie. Why do you smell like my maker?"

Sookie shoved Eric away. Wiping her eyes clear of tears. Eric looked so stoic. Like, deep down, he knew that Godric was alive. He was only waiting for confirmation from what Sookie's words would provide him.

"It's not my place to tell."

"What does that mean?" Eric questioned.

"It means my childe that Sookie isn't the one to tell you of how I came to be…"

"Godric." Eric's voice was nothing but a whisper. Eric was now kneeling in-front of his maker. Sookie guessed she didn't have to worry about this. Eric looked happy for once.

"I'm here my childe."

"How?"

"All will be explained in due time. Now, I think we should talk about this inside."

Godric and Eric were both staring directly at Sookie. Waiting for her to lead the way. With one foot in front of the other. Sookie made the path and two vampires followed.

"Godric how are you here."

"My childe, after I burned on the rooftop of the hotel, some part in me knew that it wasn't the end. That somehow death wasn't the last thing for me. I don't know how to explain it, but it seemed like I had another thing to accomplish before my true death. That feeling I think is what got me to Faerie, and the part that I was part-fae before I got turned into a vampire."

Eric was silent. Sookie made a move to hold his hand, and looked at Godric. Godric met Sookie's eyes. Making Sookie look away. Heat started to form on her cheeks. Having two- vampires around her was making her feel lots of feelings that she hadn't experienced since Bill was alive, and had relationships with both Bill and Eric. Now having feelings for Godric and Eric at the same time didn't help matters. Sookie thought Godric wouldn't want to share her. But, Eric was his childe, he had lived with Eric, made him what he is for a 1,000 years.

Both vampires were now staring directly at Sookie. Somehow Sookie knew what sort of ideas were forming and for once it didn't scare her.

It was the beginning of a new night. Everything was about to change for one, Sookie Stackhouse. And she will walk with one foot in-front of the other. Ready, to take one whatever comes in her way. Even if it is two legendary, strong, beautiful vampires. That looked ready to pounce on her any second.

Unfortunately, as the night came to a standstill Eric had to leave. Saying something about his company, " New Blood". Eric had started a company, synthesizing new blood, with some of the cure for the Hep V vamps that were infected five years ago. It was a scary epidemic, one that Sookie could not just forget about One that costed Alicide his life. Sookie never looked back from that moment.

"What's wrong Little One?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking of all of the crazy shit that seemed to follow after me. Once I feel like my life is normal, I get a surprise and see that my life is in constant danger from one second to the next. " Sookie sighed, as Godric came to sit beside her.

"No one can ever truly know one's pain. I remember when I first turned Eric. How much my life changed from that point, before I used to think that all humans were beneath me; but, as the years went by my mind changed."

"Changed?"

"I value human life Sookie. So when one problem comes I face it head on, because that's all you can ever do. There's no hiding in real life, and it's the decisions that we make are the biggest liberator we can see."

Sookie leaned into Godric. Closing her eyes and exhaling. Godric was safe to her. All she ever wanted from this point on was to be in his presence for the rest of her knowing that she had lost five years of her life, she wasn't going to just hide when things got to tough to handle. This time she was ready. Ready to face whatever trouble that finds her.
