I looked back at Eric who hadn't moved an inch while Godric explained this to me.

"I still don't fully understand this. The day my mother gave birth to me was the day my grandmother died."

"Correct." He nodded

"So my grandmother was.... well.... me... right?" I questioned still on my knees at the foot of the bed.

"Yes, the day she was born was the day her grandmother died. And so forth. That's how deep of a bond that you and Eric had and have. Your soul is bound to this earth as long as Eric is here. Whether it happens during your lifetime or not, the soul that lives within you will be Eric's at some point." While Godric was explaining this I sat back and against Eric's legs. "I hope that it happens in this lifetime. You would make a great vampire with your multi-faceted gift."

I looked up at Eric. He was shaking slightly. I reached up and placed my hand on his cheek and he stopped. I smiled. He turned at looked at Godric.

"I don't think I could turn her. She's... I just can't." He placed his hand on my shoulder.

Godric stood and sat on the bed next to him. "I know my child. That's why if she wishes to become vampire, I will turn her if need be."

Eric's back stiffened. As much as he loved Godric he couldn't handle knowing that if I did become a vampire that Godric was the one who turned me. Being my maker would give either one of them control of me and my 'gifts' and that was a big responsibility on their part. But honestly out of the two of them I would trust Godric more because I wouldn't be romantically involved with him. Besides once it was all said and done he'd probably return to Dallas anyways.

"I believe that I was drawn to you that night, for this reason." Godric was referring to the night that he had met me in a wheat field in Dallas some five years ago. "I was meant to bring you two together. I wasn't certain at first. Of course. But as time wore on and I learned more about you," He pointed at me sitting on the floor. "And you're family history, I knew."

Eric still had the ring in his hand, fiddling with it. I took a deep breath and stood up, with Eric's help. I turned to face the two very pale yet beautiful vampires who sat on the edge of the bed. I still looked confused.

"Until you, your soul, and Eric's soul are joined together again your soul is bound to this earth at least as long as Eric lives, no matter if your body dies or not."

"Giselle, you don't need to feel obligated. I mean, minus the whole you almost being killed and kidnapped things, I've really enjoyed the past couple days."

"As have I." I retorted. "But this is a little too much to take in at once. I need a little time to think about what I need to do." I started slowly sifting through some of the boxes in my room looking for some clothes.

"Elle, what are you doing?" Eric asked looking up from the ring.

Not looking at him, "Like I said I need some time to think. I've got some where to go it's almost dawn. I'll be back before nightfall, I promise." I replied pulling a grey v-neck t-shirt and jeans out of one of the boxes.

"I don't like the idea of you being out on your own my child." Godric added.

"I'll be fine, I promise." I flew into the closet and threw my clothes on. I walked over to Eric and Godric who were both still sitting on my bed. I bent down and kissed both of them on the forehead then flew down the stairs and hopped in my car and took off.

I was heading back to Bon Temps. I wanted to talk to Sookie, she could help me figure out what to do. The whole ride there I stared blankly at the road ahead and blocked out everything else around me. It took about an hour or so to get to the edge of town. It was about 7 a.m. when I got to Sookie's house. In her typical fashion she was in the front yard with the lawn mower full blast. I pulled into the driveway and crept towards the house. She looked up from the mower and she saw me. She had shut the mower off by the time I had stepped out of my car.

"Elle! Where the hell have you been the past couple of days?" She ran over to me and slung her arms around my neck.

"Well that's a long story." I replied forcing a smile to appear on my still sore face.

She grabbed my hand, "Come on. I'll put some coffee on and we can talk."

She led me in the house that I knew better than anything else in my life. I spent plenty of nights and summer days at this house during my childhood. We sat down at the old wooden table in the kitchen, in six years nothing had changed. Her hands stumbled around on the counter fixing up the coffee maker and then took a seat across from me.

"So tell me everything. Sam told me that you were with Eric Northman. I'm going to assume that is where you've been."

"Well, yeah." I shuddered a little.

I took a deep breath and began explaining the events of the past couple of days, from the creature attacking me outside of Sam's house to being kidnapped. She listened intently while I explained. The only disturbance in the conversation was when she got up to pour both of us a cup of coffee. She sat back down and quietly waited for me to finish explaining everything. It was around 9 or so by the time I had finished recanting all the details. She just sat there stunned.

"Honey, I could have told you that Eric was no good." She said matter of factly sipping from her mug.

"Sook, I don't think you understand not everything that has happened was because of Eric. That creature had nothing to do with him."

She shook her head, "You just need to stay away from him my dear."

My head dropped at little. "That might be kind of hard." I started. "You see, I found out last night that Eric and I are soul mates." I paused.

The most disgusted look she could muster crossed her face. "I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into. He is dangerous. And he is not the one for you."

"In all honesty Sookie you don't know what's good for me." I said standing up from the table.

"Don't give me that bullshit. You come traipsing back into town after six years and expect everyone to welcome you back with no problem? And then I'm supposed to let you go off with a vampire that I know personally to be dangerous. You are one selfish bitch."

"You don't know the first thing about Eric. You act so high and fucking mighty but I'm telling you deep down you're just like everyone else in this town!" She stood to meet my gaze.

"I'm high and mighty? You and I are the same we can do the same things. You're crazy!"

"NO! We are not the same. I can do things far beyond your gift's limitations." I said storming out the door.

She followed me out into the front yard. "Yeah go on and fucking run again. You don't care about anyone but yourself! You didn't even come back for your parents funerals. You are in ungrateful bitch!" She said getting in my face.

"Sookie Stackhouse I'm telling now to back down before something happens that I can't control."

She pushed me. "Are you threatening me?"

"Sookie I don't want to hurt you! I'm not like the other people in this town that you can just push around!" I felt my body began to build up.

"Yeah and what are you going to do about it?"

"Back down now!" The sky began to turn black.

She looked up. "What the?"

My breathing became feverish and heavy. The ground shook a little and it knocked her to her knees she and looked up at me.

"I told you to back down."

"What are you?"

"I am mother nature, child." I replied. I turned to walk back towards my car. "Don't bother."

I got in my car and sped off back towards Eric's. So I guess I had a decision to make. Leave Eric or love him, giving myself to him completely and become a vampire and live at his side.
