It was only a few hours later that Jason had to get up and go to work on the Parish road crew. He was barely able to pull himself out of his childhood bed and get his half asleep butt to work the morning after having Eric, Pam and Godric over to essentially meet Gran. He mentally kicked himself for staying up so late when he knew he had to work yet again. After a few minutes of stumbling about he finally managed to dress and get out of the house without making too much noise, as he didn't want to wake the rest of the family.
Of course Adele's eyes popped open the moment the door closed behind him. She lay there thinking over last night's excitement and what was to come. Fintan had stayed away after making his brief appearance and she was missing him terribly. She knew that Sookie had the early shift and so it wouldn't be long before she would be up as well. Adele went about her usual routine and by the time she started breakfast Sookie was wandering in bleary-eyed looking for the coffee pot.
"Morning dear." Adele said gently taking note that Sookie looked to be still asleep even if she was upright. Sookie poured her cup of coffee and added just enough cream that it appeared back at the top of the cup and took her first sip of the steaming liquid.
"Morning Gran. Did you sleep okay?" Sookie asked, as was her usual greeting.
"As well as can be expected with these old bones." Adele responded with a chuckle and turned her attention back to the pan of grits.
"Anything special going on today?" Sookie wondered from her seat at the kitchen table.
"Not today my dear, you working the early shift today?" Adele said.
"I am." Sookie responded and they lapsed into companionable silence. Adele had everything ready and they served their plates from the kitchen counter, which they only did when it was just the two of them.
"I think it's a good thing that I have three days off starting tomorrow." Sookie mentioned absently as they started to clean up the breakfast dishes side by side.
"I believe you are right, your lives will never be the same, but it's for the best. It is your destiny." Adele told her granddaughter who listened carefully and while she knew better than to question her she still didn't know how to take this piece of advice or news. Adele wished that she could tell her more but knew that for the prophesy to come to pass they each must make the decisions of their own free will.
Sookie took off to dress for work leaving Adele to her own devises for the day. Sookie soon bounded down the steps and with a kiss to Adele's cheek she was out the door and down the driveway in the little yellow pos car (at least it started today). All three Stackhouse's days were rather ordinary other than the feeling that something big was about to happen. All except the foul mood that Sam Merlotte visited upon his establishment all because he was kicking himself for never asking Sookie out on a date. Of course being the self-loathing Supe he was all he did was act surly and think hateful thoughts. Sam had seen the way that Vamp looked at Sookie and even though she seemed to pay him no mind he knew she was too good for anyone in this town. Sam couldn't stop imagining the Vampires that would line up to take advantage of her disability and how.
Sookie finally was able to head home and her mood drastically increased at seeing her brother's truck in his normal parking spot 'round back.
"I'm home." Sookie called out as she walked in the back door and found the kitchen empty.
"We're in here." Jason called back to her from the living room. She walked towards them and decided to take a few moments before she headed off to shower her day down the drain. Jason pulled her close as she collapsed next to him on the couch.
"Tough day?" Jason asked knowing that she was exhausted and more than a little upset about something. Sookie didn't answer verbally but she couldn't help but replay some of the worst of Sam's blatantly racist thoughts. "Oh Sook he's just jealous." Jason whispered to his sister who continued to cling to him.
Godric was the first to open his eyes being the oldest and he took every minute he had alone to go over the last two nights in his mind. As Eric opened his eyes Godric was attempting to calm his racing emotions. Eric's emotions soon added to his Makers and they clung to each other too excited to speak until the sun set and Pam woke. The three Vampires rushed through their evening routines and were soon dressed to go out.
"I do not think that we should let Compton see us all together just yet." Godric told the others as they congregated in the kitchen.
"I agree Godric, not many know that you are my Maker. I believe we can use this to our advantage." Eric said agreeing wholeheartedly with his Makers strategy.
"You will still come and observe though, right Godric?" Pam asked not wanting to miss a moment of time with her Grandsire.
"Of course. However this is clearly more than a visit and so I will have to call Texas. I will meet you both at the bar later." Godric told his Childe and Grandchilde as they stood in the kitchen drinking heated donor blood poured into glasses.
"Don't worry Godric we'll keep our guests entertained until you can arrive." Eric said attempting to keep the teasing tone out of his voice even if Godric could feel it.
"Oh yes don't worry I'm sure you won't miss too much." Pam said not bothering to conceal her glee. Godric's centuries on this earth enabled him to take the high road and he simply smiled an indulgent smile. They realized that they weren't going to get a rise out of him and so Eric and Pam left in Eric's red Corvette.
Godric sighed and took a few moments to collect himself before he pulled out his mobile phone and dialled Stan's private number.
"Godric to what do I owe the pleasure old friend?" Came Stan's rough voiced friendly greeting.
"Stan I have a favour to ask and I apologize for doing this over the phone. I would have preferred to come to see you in person." Godric told his old friend and King.
"That certainly sounds ominous Godric. What can I do for you then?" Stan asked, his curiosity peaked and he found himself hoping that whatever Godric had to say would alleviate some of the boredom that threatened to overwhelm him.
"Well I need to resign as Sheriff of Texas's Area nine effective immediately. I would like to nominate Isabel as my successor. I have trained her well and I believe that she will flourish in the position." Godric said without hesitation, as he had never been surer of a decision.
"Godric this is a surprise. Well I'm sure that if you have every confidence in Isabel then I have no doubt that she will make a magnificent Sheriff. Can I ask what brought about this sudden decision?" Stan asked curious of the sudden nature of the resignation, he hoped that nothing was a miss.
"I believe I have found my soul mate." Godric said out loud for the first time since meeting Sookie Stackhouse the thought that has been rolling through his mind on repeat.
"Well this is certainly good news old friend. I hope to meet this person that has so affected the wisest person I have ever known." Stan said reverently after releasing the breath he hadn't realized he was holding.
"I hope you will as well Stan and thank you for releasing me you will always have my friendship and alliance should you need to call upon me at any time." Godric told his old friend glossing over the comments he didn't feel worthy of. Stan Davis was a Vampire that he would seek council from himself and to have him express that type of devotion made him uncomfortable.
"And you as well Godric. I hope to see you soon." Stan said knowing his old friend well enough that he didn't press the issue.
"Thank you your highness." Godric said and disconnected the call. He immediate placed another call to Isabel.
"Godric I have been worried about you. Where are you?" Isabel asked her relief at hearing Godric voice evident.
"I am well Isabel, however I have news. I am stepping down as Sheriff and I have recommended you as my replacement to the King." Godric told her not mincing his words. Isabel was too shocked to answer and so he continued, "I have taught you all you need to know. You will be a wonderful Sheriff I have every confidence in you."
Isabel finally found her voice, "why would you step down in the first place Sheriff?"
"I have found my soul mate and I wish to spend more time with her along with my Childe and Grandchilde." Godric told her the truth knowing that she otherwise would not accept his decision.
"I am happy for you Sheriff. If there is anything that you need me to do please do not hesitate to ask." Isabel offered Godric, for whom she would do anything. Her voice was monotone as she was still processing the news that Godric had given her.
"Thank you Isabel I may need your help in closing out some of my assets in the near future. I'm sure I will have to return to area nine to formally hand over the area soon." Godric told her.
"As always I am available to assist you in anything that you might need Sheriff. Thank you for your faith in me Godric." Isabel replied, her last comment more subdued than the first staunch affirmation of her loyalty.
"You deserve this position Isabel and remember that I have every faith in you." Godric told her and disconnected the call. With his Sheriff duties off his shoulders he felt lighter, happier than he had in centuries. Godric felt for the bond he had with his Childe and though that Pamela as well and found them to be in high spirits as well. He went straight to the garage and quickly straddled one of the many bikes and with a few practiced motions it was soon purring between his legs. He pulled out of the garage and was soon racing towards Fangtasia.
Jason had finally talked Sookie into a better mood and the three remaining Stackhouse's had a quiet meal together. After which Sookie and Jason got ready to go to Fangtasia. They decided to dress a little darker tonight for some reason; they were both in the mood to have a little fun. Sookie wore a short black leather skirt and white t-shirt and boots and Jason wore black skinny jeans motorcycle boots and a white t-shirt. They took Jason's truck again and were soon walking in arm in arm with Pam who had been at the door when they got there. Eric was on his throne but quickly joined them in his regular booth that had a great view of the whole club. They were sandwiched between Eric and Pam again so that they could keep contact to keep an eye out on the club.
Sookie and Jason had arrived at Fangtasia a little earlier, as they were excited to see if they could use their powers to show off a little. Soon they were pointing out all of the underage kids that had gotten in with fake ID's and Pam was gleefully bouncing them and then returning to the booth. "So we forgot to ask you guys last night but Tara and Laf had a completely different story about why they left early last night." Jason asked not really directing the question to either Vamp his concentration split between scanning the club and their verbal conversation.
"While we are on the subject I want to know what you were attempting to do to them at the time." Eric asked the question that he had wanted to ask since they arrived tonight but had been too distracted to remember to do so.
"Well we can push emotions into others, and together sometimes it can push people to do what we suggest to them." Jason responded to Eric's question.
"However we have never had them have a different reason for doing something the next time we saw them." Sookie brought them back to Jason's original question.
"Ah yes well I didn't know what you were doing so I thought I should add some glamour and added that Tara had to much to drink and therefore they went home early." Eric said in a blasé tone of voice.
"You can try that on me to see if it works on Vampires, Sexy?" Pam purred at Jason.
"Alright just me or Sook and me together." Jason asked Pam.
"They both sound delightful." Pam purred and wiggled her eyebrows causing Sookie to blush.
'Okay lets see if we can get her to slap the waitress that is about to come up to the booth.' Jason thought to his sister. "Okay you ready Hot stuff?" Jason asked Pam.
"Bring it." Pam said not worried in the least, as she didn't think that this would work on Vampire. Eric leant back to watch but kept his hand on Sookie's thigh to see if the electrical thing happened again. Just as the waitress walked up and asked if they wanted a refill Jason and Sookie pushed anger and jealousy strongly at Pam.
Eric could feel the electricity and emotions of anger and jealousy come out of nowhere in his Childe. Pam's fangs descended and she was about to lung toward the waitress. Eric just barely got a command in there to prevent the attack.
"Wow that was intense." Pam said as the foreign emotions left her system just as suddenly as they appeared.
"Yes quite an interesting trick there you two. How often do you use that one?" Eric asked suddenly suspicious of his feelings for them once this new power was revealed to be so strong.
"Not often it takes a lot out of us." Sookie said as she snuggled into Eric's side and closed her eyes for a moment.
With that said they finally responded to the frightened waitress who disappeared quickly to get their drinks. Sookie and Jason both noticed at the same time when Godric wearing a dark hoody and black skinny jeans appeared near the back exit. Eric and Pam had felt him getting closer and didn't need to use their visual senses to know he was there. Godric took note of the patrons and found a table in a corner of the bar.
"Why is Godric sitting over there?" Sookie whispered into Eric's ear.
"He will come over after Compton leaves." Eric nodded at Godric and looked around to make sure that all present that knew of him had been briefed on tonight's incognito scene. Luckily there were no visiting Vamps tonight. Sookie couldn't help but glance in Godric's direction every chance she took to survey the club patrons looking for things to point out to their Vampire companions. Not to long after Pam went to glamour a drug dealer into never returning to the bar Sookie and Jason noticed an increase in malice again and both spotted Compton as he went to the bar. "Showtime" the foursome said and grinned wickedly while his back was turned.
Godric watched the foursome, whom he desperately wished to join, from afar as the siblings used their powers to help his Childe run his business while simultaneously enjoying their company. He noticed that every Vampire in the place spent more time than strictly necessary watching them although none dared to approach the table. The waitresses seemed more nervous than was practical and he couldn't wait to find out why that might be. He had a feeling that their little southern spitfire and her brother had something to do with the entire bars emotionally charged atmosphere. Compton's entrance was impossible to miss, as his countenance screamed self-importance, which especially in such a young Vampire was incongruent. Godric was looking forward to putting this Vampire in his place. Over the years his physically young appearance has given him the opportunity to instil a false sense of security in his opponents.
Bill Compton had woken from his days rest and immediately resumed his duties of following the Stackhouse siblings; his orders had recently been modified to include the male. He was pleasantly surprised that they were together when he arrived at the edge of the cemetery although as they neared Fangtasia for the second night in a row Bill couldn't help but get nervous. His Queen had given him explicit instructions to do anything in his power to separate them from the Sheriff and his infuriating progeny. No matter at least he would be able to arrange a meal for after his charges returned to the hovel of a farmhouse they called home. He waited for an appropriate length of time as to not draw attention to himself and entered the tacky bar. He purchased a bottle of synthetic sludge and found an empty booth with a direct line of sight to Sookie. The more he set eyes upon the blue eyed beauty to more he became sure that he would take her as his own. He just needed to separate her from that Neanderthal Northman.
The siblings and Eric and Pam continued to sit with their heads close together whispering back and forth in one anthers ear. They knew that both Compton and Godric were watching and they only had to wait for Compton's reaction.
'I've got an idea let's make sure that no fangbangers pay him any mind k.' Sookie thought to Jason.
'Okay Sis good idea.' Jason replied.
They paid attention mentally and any fangbanger that even thought about Compton they quickly added disgust to their emotional climate causing them to move on to the next Vampire. They kept up their emotional attack for a while and therefore although the bar was packed with willing fangbangers none approached Compton's table. This did not go unnoticed by anyone and soon most of the bar was staring at him except the object of his desire.
'We totally have him now I think we can make him jealous without even pushing him directly.' Sookie thought to Jason.
'Oh I'm so down with your plan! You're on fire with the plans tonight Sis.' Jason thought back.
They both leaned in and started kissing their respective Vampires while they kept an eye on Compton's void. Compton was now visibly shaking with rage as he watched both siblings play tonsil hockey with Eric and Pam. Godric was using all his strength to keep in his seat as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. Soon Compton was standing at their booth and Eric was the first one to speak up.
"Compton to what do we owe your visit tonight?" Eric asked without taking his eyes off Sookie's décolletage, which was heaving as she attempted to regain her breath.
"I was just coming over to complain about the caliber of the humans in here tonight. Actually it seems that there isn't anything in here that interests me in the slightest, unlike in New Orleans." Compton said with a sneer.
"Yes it does seem like no one is interested in you tonight. Maybe you should go back where you came from." Jason taunted him without taking his eyes off of Pam who despite being a Vampire was also panting. Pam had never felt anything like what she was feeling before; she felt as if she would rattle apart and all they had done was kiss.
"How dare you insult me blood-bag." Bill sputtered and they all turned to glared at Bill.
"He was merely trying to point out that if you weren't happy here then you really should just leave. Bill you really are quite dense aren't you?" Sookie said in a singsong voice all the while holding eye contact with Compton.
"Bill if you are going to insult my bar and my guests then I am going to have to ask you to leave." Eric said in a bored tone.
"Fine." Compton seethed and then he turned on his heel and vamped out the front door. As soon as he was out of earshot Eric couldn't resist asking Jason what he meant earlier.
"Well that was interesting. How is it that you were so sure that no one was interested in him? Most fangbangers are not very selective in which Vampire they approach." Eric asked.
"We may have pushed a few of them." Jason said and he laughed and then the rest followed. They were still laughing when Godric approached their booth and slid in next to Eric.
"Well tonight's entertainment has certainly been fascinating." Godric said not taking his eyes off the siblings Sookie in particular who was also watching his every move with fascination. "I was wondering if you could you see me from here or were you using one of your gifts." Godric asked.
"Our gifts, they allow us to sense everyone within a ten mile radius when together and Sookie's is half that when alone." Jason answer as Sookie was too busy staring at the gorgeous Vampire to answer his question. He was physically opposite from Eric and he just radiated power from him. He was much smaller than Eric and looked to be eighteen when he was turned, he had short dark hair and hauntingly beautiful gray blue eyes. And while outwardly he appeared young his eyes betrayed his staggering age.
'That is very similar to our own isn't it Master?' Eric thought to Godric to which he replied with a slight nod.
"Fascinating, and how is it that no one even other Vampires approached Compton while he watched you?" Godric asked, as this was more curious.
"It was an empathic push of disgust that we aimed at anyone that thought about or looked at him." Sookie finally found her voice to answer.
"Does that work with everyone?" Godric asked with just twinge of hope mixed with intrigue, which didn't go unnoticed by Eric. Eric was hopeful that this was the beginning of a new area for his Maker one during which he would be far happier than he had been. Eric was convinced that the only reason that he still walked this earth was that Eric himself still did.
"So far as we know." Sookie answered and Eric leaned into Sookie and whispered, "Send him Joy please."
'Eric said to send him Joy.' Sookie thought to Jason while watching the two ancient Vampires carefully.
'Okay ready Sis?' Jason replied, and squeezed her hand, which was clasped tightly in his own.
"Ready Godric?" Sookie asked, and he nodded that he was, and they proceeded to push as hard as they ever had before, as he was so old.
As joy overtook his emotional climate Godric and Eric shared a look they both knew that this was a foreign emotion as it had been some time since he had felt so joyful. What Eric didn't expect to feel was jealous, jealous that he was never able to give his Maker such joy.
"Thank you." Godric said quietly as he was taken aback by the sudden joy that he had felt and even more so when it disappeared just as quickly.
"Err your welcome. So I guess it worked then?" Jason asked, he had been carefully monitoring the emotional reaction and was a little concerned by what he felt. They sat silent for a few moments but as soon as Godric leaned into Eric connecting the five of them they glowed brightly for a second and it didn't go unnoticed by the five of them. The glow was of course accompanied by a jolt of electricity that coursed through their bodies.
"That was weird." Sookie started to say and looked around to make sure that no one else noticed.
"Let's take this somewhere a bit more private shall we?" Godric said knowing that they should keep this from other Vampires as much as possible. As the group of five made their way back to Eric's office all eyes were on them and most were thinking about what they could possibly have that the rest of them didn't and other jealous thoughts and emotions.
"Okay what was that?" Everyone said at the same time as soon as the door shut.
"Have you ever had that happen with anyone else?" Godric asked Sookie and Jason.
"Well the electrical shock thing yes." Jason said as he looked to Sookie.
"But the glowing no." and she finished his sentence.
"You two seem to do that a lot are you sure you're not twins?" Eric asked them his eyebrow raised. Sookie couldn't help but think that she would love to lick that eyebrow of his. She had to physically shake her head to clear away the lust, which made him chuckle in amusement.
"It's true we have many twin like traits however as far as we know we are not." Jason answered.
"Do you know what causes the electrical shock?" Godric asked.
"Well I've only noticed it with you and Eric." Sookie answered quietly looking down in her embarrassment Godric couldn't help but smile at her innocence while Eric's smirk grew wider.
"I've felt it a couple of times most recently with Pam." Jason said and he winked at her while sending lust, which the others could feel because of their bonds.
"I think we should test this out a bit, may I Little One?" Godric asked Sookie. She nodded and he slowly moved closer and put his hand up to her cheek. They both felt the same electrical shock as soon as his hand touched her and as Jason was still holding her hand he felt it as well.
"Jason?" As soon as he nodded as well Godric repeated the process with Jason however only Jason felt the electrical shock.
"Hmm only with Sookie then?" Godric wondered quietly.
"You didn't feel that?" Jason asked him.
"Interesting, may I?" Eric asked Jason and after he nodded, Eric touched his shoulder and neither of them felt anything, which seemed to both add to the puzzle and to give them more answers.
"Your turn Pam." Sookie added with a wink. Pam closed the gap quickly and also touched her shoulder and just as with Godric only Sookie felt the electrical shock.
"Darn." Pam muttered when she didn't feel anything.
'Sis I think I figured it out.' Jason thought to Sookie.
"Why don't you share with the class then Jase?" Sookie asked him out loud while squeezing his hand in reassurance.
"It has to do with who is attracted to whom." Jason said and Godric and Eric shared a look before they both turned to leer at Sookie who blushed, which raised the lust in the room.
"What about the glowing?" Pam asked while rolling her eye at her Maker and Grandsires reaction to this development. They were acting like teenagers with a shiny new toy.
"Let see if we can recreate it." Sookie suggested and grabbed Eric's hand and Jason grabbed Pam's and again as soon as Godric took Eric's other hand they all glowed purple. Sookie and Jason let go of their hands and the threesome and the pair's glow changed colour to blue and pink and then faded again just as in the bar.
"Well that certainly gives us something to think about doesn't it?" Eric couldn't help but smiling because his Maker was suddenly hopeful and the interest was moving into the front and the sadness was moving into the background.
"Yes their certainly aren't dull, are they Master" Pam beamed while running her hands over Jason's ass, as it was her turn to allow her emotions to overcome her usually stoic countenance.
"No their are not dull at all." Godric said wistfully, he had never been one to enjoy being in physical contact with another having spent so much of his life as a solitary creature, however it seemed he was unable to remove himself from her side.
"Have you ever seen a Supe such them before Godric?" Eric asked his maker, he noticed that Godric seemed lost in thought. He would find Pam's reaction to Jason endlessly amusing if he weren't feeling the same things.
'There is that Supe thing again.' Sookie thought to Jason.
"I can't say as I have seen anything quite like this. However I suppose they have some Fae traits don't you think?" In response to Godric's words Eric and Pam's fangs ran out and their eyes dilated.
"Now, now, now what's with the fang display all of a sudden and what's a Supe?" Sookie asked as she desperately tried to fight her fight or flight instincts. She was suddenly very aware that she was holding hands with two Vampires.
"How is it that your Gran hasn't told you of these things she seems quite knowledgeable?" Eric asked incredibly curious of their lack of knowledge of the Supernatural world.
"Gran did mention that this summer we were going to be getting someone to help us with our powers. Something about coming of age or something." Jason told them as he pulled Pam back into his arms, which she didn't fight but seemed to melt into his embrace. Pam was having a hard time not purring loud enough for the others in the room to hear.
"Supe is short for supernatural beings and there are numerous different kinds most of which keep to themselves and some who live in other dimensions or worlds." Godric explained.
"Weres, Shifters, Vampires, Demons and Fae are the most common categories but there are many types of Faery and Demons." Eric continued as the sibling's mouths dropped open in shock.
"Wow that's a lot to take in." Sookie finally said to which Jason snorted at her gross understatement.
"Yes usually we recognize one another by smell, but with you two I can't seem to place it." Godric pondered why that might be. Since they were standing so close anyways it was easy enough to lean in and take a deep whiff, which he almost regretted immediately for the intense physical reaction it caused. The urge to claim her was so strong it took everything he had to hold himself back; this emotion trickled down through the bond and the tension in the room increased dramatically. The Vampires of course could smell her purity and knew how rare this was.
"I think maybe we should head home and see what Gran has to say about all this." Jason voiced his thoughts aloud this time for all to hear. He could feel what was going on and knew that everyone needed a little fresh air and maybe a change of venue wouldn't hurt either.
"Yes I think that is a very good idea Jason. And I think that we should all go together." Sookie said with a small smile for Godric. She had figured out why he remained hidden the night before and wanted him to feel welcome. Her invitation took Godric aback humans and other Supes were never this understanding and accepting of others. He cautiously accepted her invitation with a smile while giving her hand a small squeeze.
As soon as Adele heard multiple engines on the driveway she started a pot of coffee and got some True Bloods warming in the microwave. Adele had been waiting impatiently for their return ever since Sookie and Jason left earlier in the evening. Fintan had of course been by to keep her company. They had spoken about the changes that they would have to go through in order to fulfil their destiny and what their own roles in that would be. They came through the back door and Adele greeted them each warmly by name told them to meet her in the living room and asked Sookie to help her with the refreshments.
As they settled into the living room Godric and Eric sat on either side of Sookie again and Jason pulled Pam onto his lap. All eyes were on Adele as she introduced herself to them more formally tonight as Adele Hale Brigant. Godric and Eric stiffened at the name Brigant, which Sookie could help but wonder at. "Your grandfather Mitchell was a wonderful husband but he had mumps late in life and thus was sterile. And so when a Half-Fairy named Fintan showed up one afternoon asking for a glass of water; well the rest as they say is history. Your Daddy and Aunt Linda were not Mitchell's biological children although he loved them like his own. Fintan was worried about our safety, as his Father is Prince of all Avalon, so he made sure to work with me on the house's wards and we tried to bind their powers so as to not attract any supernatural attention. Corbett's Michelle of course seemed to be immune to the spell and knew him for what he was although we never did unbind him. She was half Daemon and half Faery and I am half Natural Witch and half Shifter. Which makes you two quite the mutts and not much human at all I'm afraid." Adele explained while the five of them hung on her every life altering word.
"Well that is certainly enlightening information." Eric said not knowing that for the siblings the most important news had yet to be shared.
"Unfortunately there is more. Fintan and I are in agreement that his father's enemies were responsible for the death of Corbett, Michelle and Linda. We were safe behind the wards on the house those days and until now we haven't had much supernatural goings on in Bon Temps." Adele said dropping the life altering news on Sookie and Jason as if speaking of the weather.
"You mean to say that Daddy and Momma didn't die in a flash flood and Aunt Linda didn't die of Cancer?" Sookie whispered tears flowing down her cheeks. Godric and Eric did the best they could to comfort her. Her tears broke their hearts and they didn't know what to do but knew they would do anything.
"Their deaths were covered up as most supernatural on supernatural deaths are when the Human authorities are involved." Adele explained her heart breaking at the sight of her granddaughter so distraught. The entire group sat motionless while they each tried to process the new information they had learnt this evening. Jason was remembering noticing feelings that seemed to suggest that Adele wanted justice and revenge and not understanding why that would be if their deaths were the result of essentially an act of God. Suddenly things were making a lot more sense and even though he was devastated by the news just like Sookie was he found he was glad to know the truth finally.
Adele however wasn't finished with her life altering conversation she was simply giving them time to absorb the information before continuing.
"Now that the five of you have met your powers will start to manifest sooner than they would have otherwise." Adele spoke up quickly gaining everyone's attention again. Her own children hadn't had the spark that Sookie and Jason do it seems that the combination of traits may have been a factor. Adele is very excited to see her granbabies come into their own. She and Fintan had spent most of her adult life hiding from the Supernatural world trying to keep their family safe and so it was freeing to know that they would have such strong protectors. To know that the losses they endure may not have been in vain.
"Why would that be? Why would we have any bearing on their powers?" Pam asked the question that ran through all five of their minds. The knowledge of their heritage while enlightening didn't affect them directly as this revelation did.
"Because you're sole mates. The five of you have missing each other time and time again and it sure is a good thing that this time around was the charm isn't it Godric." Adele mused a gentle smile on her face as she watched Godric's reaction closely. The other four silently wondered why Godric felt guilt, then awe and finally happiness. The last three thousand years finally made sense to him. His current feelings finally made sense it was as if the universe was aligning and everything was standing still just long enough for him to catch the breath he didn't need anymore.
"Will we be getting our training sooner now Gran?" Jason wondered aloud his attention span never was very long. Sookie's ears perked up, as she wanted desperately to know the answer to this question. Even with Gran to guide them they still felt alone as if they were stumbling about on their own.
"Yes I supposed we should see if your cousins could stop by soon, for lunch maybe as they are full Fae and can't suppress their scents unfortunately." Adele said glad that they seemed to be taking the news so well.
"Cousins?" Sookie and Jason said simultaneously, they of course thought that Gran was their only living relative.
"Yes my dears I suppose it's time that you know that we have ties to the Long Tooth pack as well as the Crane triplet's over in Monroe they own Hooligans." Adele admitted that their familial ties in the area were much larger than the siblings had previously thought. Godric, Eric and Pam knew of both the triplet's and the long tooth pack having lived in the area for many years themselves.
"Do you know what powers they will have?" Godric asked, as he was worried that they wouldn't be able to protect them.
"Well Fintan as you know is an Air Fae and Michelle's people are Earth Fae add to that Fire from the Dae and my Natural Witch and Shifter. They are both much stronger than humans and heal faster of course and the Telepathy and Empathy have been present since birth although it hasn't been long that they have been sharing powers. When they were younger Sookie was telepathic and Jason was empathic but now you should be both I believe, yes?" Adele confided further.
"I've never really tried to listen when I wasn't with Sookie, let me try." Jason said, as he really hadn't imagined that this might be possible however he was used to sharing Sookie's gift so he knew instinctively how to used it.
"How could you have not noticed Jason?" Pam asked him, as she couldn't understand how that might be.
"I shield constantly so that I can keep some stuff private from Sookie." Jason explained and Sookie rolled her eyes.
"You haven't been able to keep me out for years Jason. I've just never let on, you know so that you wouldn't feel violated," she told him and giggled at his expression. Sookie stopped abruptly as she realized that she too had discovered a new power, which she had assumed originated in her brother. They were so close that they hadn't noticed the expansion in their gifts.
"Ah sis… You could have told me. And yes Gran jeez you're right I am telepathic now, weird." Jason said.
"Can you read Vampire minds?" Eric asked and Godric looked puzzled not knowing that Sookie could not, as Eric and Pam had neglected to mention that tidbit prior to now.
"Nope I wonder why that is and if it will stay that way." Jason said looking lost in thought although no one could really blame him.
"Maybe if you try thinking something directly at us that always worked for Sam." Sookie thought to mention.
"You have trouble reading the Shifter?" Eric asked, he found everything about her incredibly interesting especially her reactions to things.
"Sam's a Shifter? Oh that makes so much sense! Duh I always wondered what made his mind a little different. Yes he's kind of hard to read I get mostly feelings with colours associated with them unless he wants me to read him then it's easier." Sookie told them trying not to think about Sam's hurtful thoughts from her shift earlier that day. Eric wanted to laugh at her response at first, but quickly noticed that she seemed distressed for some reason and couldn't fathom why that would be. It took everything he had not to demand to know who had hurt her and fly off to rip their head from their shoulders.
"Okay I'll try thinking to Sookie first." Eric said wanting to get Sookie thinking about something else as she seemed uncomfortable talking about the Shifter.
'Has anyone every told you how enticing you are when you blush.' Eric sent to Sookie his eyebrows waggling.
'Send something back.' Jase thought to Sookie, as of course they all heard him now that everyone was paying attention and trying to communicate mentally.
'Thank you Eric.' Sookie sent along with a blush, which caused Eric to wonder just how far that blush went.
"Well that was interesting could everyone hear that?" Jason asked out loud not wanting to think of his sister this way.
"I think I might have been the only one left out." Adele responded to Jason's question with a grin. She was incredibly pleased with the way the five of them interacted after only knowing one another for a short time. Fintan had been correct they were soul mates and this generation would do great things.
"This will come in quite handy in certain situations, we three can also communicate with each other through our bond so we are used to silent communication already." Godric let the others know of one of their abilities the knowledge of which they usually kept close to the vest. Pam couldn't help but be surprised that Godric would volunteer such information so freely. She smiled remembering how concerned he was at first when they were telling him about meeting the siblings for the first time.
"Yes we will have to practice and see how this works now with your telepathy added to our mind link." Eric said as he pondered all the different uses.
"I wonder if we could communicate at a distance like this have you ever tried before?" Sookie asked.
"Yes we can use our mind link at up to 5 miles away from one another. What about you?" Godric answered suddenly excited to test out this new development.
"Well up until now we thought it was one way so we haven't tried but I think it should be the same as that is my range as well." Sookie answered and squeezed his hand while sending her own excitement to Godric when she felt his.
"Gran what about Hadley?" Jason suddenly blurted out, he hadn't been paying attention to Sookie and Godric's conversation, as he was still lost in thought about the new revelations about their family various supernatural heritages.
"Yes it's such a shame that she isn't here especially as this year as she will be coming into her powers as well. That is if she hasn't already because of some other catalyst. Hadley's father is full Daemon and so she is even more Dae than you both but conversely she is less Fae as well." Adele told them and the Vampires were reminded again that this was a family which seemed to contain a mixed bag of Supernatural beings. Usually each different group kept to themselves therefore such interbreeding was almost unprecedented.
"Maybe Bill could lead us to Hadley or of course why didn't I think of this before? Hadley led Bill to us or more specifically to me." Sookie mused aloud.
"Of course now that I think about it Sophie Anne does have a pet by the name of Hadley and she is blond and blue eyed just like the both of you. She doesn't shine like you two do, maybe that is the Fae/Dae difference." Pam had finally put two and two together in her own mind. It had been bothering her ever since they mentioned the somewhat unusual name the night before. And hearing the names side by side had been just the mental catalyst she needed.
"Her pet?" Jason and Sookie said at the same time; they were appalled at the term knowing nothing about Vampire culture.
"Yes that is the term that Vampires use to refer to the humans that they keep for blood and sex. Although when I saw her last she seemed to be quite happy with Sophie Anne as she is her favourite human at court." Pam continued to explain while Godric and Eric tried to sooth Sookie's ruffled feathers. Pam seemed immune to the fact that her words might be taken as an insult.
"Could we go and visit her maybe?" Sookie wondered aloud temporarily forgetting how angry the term pet had made her.
"I think that we should wait a bit before introducing you to the Queen. First we need to see what we can do to make sure that the Queen can't take you away from us Ma Petite." Godric said his earlier fear back with a vengeance.
"Would she really be able to do that?" Sookie asked her fear spiking at the thought of being separated from their Vampires. She really didn't think that would be possible I mean this is America, right? She was trying to fight the instinct to laugh at the thought of Queen of Louisiana but deep down she knew that this was serious.
"In the supernatural world unless you can protect yourselves with your own magic then you would need to be claimed by a Vampire that could offer protection, which of course the three of us can do as she isn't as old as Eric and I are." Godric explained, which calmed everyone's nerves somewhat.
"You should know that a blood bond will activate their powers immediately and with unforeseen consequences." Adele mentioned cryptically. She was glad that the topic had finally come up so that she didn't need to suggest it as she assumed that the Vampires might react defensively otherwise. Vampires were so secretive and possessive especially with their blood and immortality.
"You have seen this to be true?" Eric asked while the others were silently pondering her words.
"Yes it is expected, as I said before I have been waiting for you for some years now. The bond created will be different then any other in existence as it won't be between two beings but between all five of you. You should know that this will affect your current bonds and once completed you won't be able to compel each other. This new bond will put you all on equal footing, which will take some getting used to after all these years but I have faith that this will work out for the best." Adele said completely flooring the Vampires who had never heard of such a thing.
"How can this be? To alter the Maker Childe relationship this would be very powerful magic." Godric asked, attempting to keep his emotions in check. It took him a millennium to be free of his Maker and another to recover from the experience to the point where he wanted a companion. To be suddenly told that the bond that had been at the core of his being for thousands of years would be irrevocably altered - and soon - was nearly impossible for him to believe.
"Yes that is very true. Now I think that you all have much to discuss and so I will take my leave and wish you all goodnight." Adele said and took her leave. They all rose and received a kiss and hug goodnight, leaving the Vampires stunned yet again.
"I say we try out the mind link radius and have someone go spy on Compton and report back." Jason said having decided to get them working on something to get everyone's minds off their newfound fates.
"A wonderful idea brother. I believe he has been standing just on the edge of the property all night again though I'm not sure why he bothers." Sookie said in complete agreement with her brother's plan to distract them.
"I'll go out the back and circle around. Keep talking so that I can see if he can hear us from where he is." Pam said and nodded to Eric and Godric and kissed Jason on the cheek and took off like a shot for the back door. Pam was grateful for the distraction as she was fighting emotions that she had never felt before. Hearing that the Queen might appropriate the siblings against their will while they were helpless to do anything evoked such powerful protective emotions she had never felt before. She knew that this was something that her Maker and Grandsire were more than capable of and took the opportunity to give herself a mental pep talk as she stalked Compton.
"Well you both took tonight's news rather well. We should have known that you weren't all that human, humans are never this practical and open minded." Eric told them proud of their ability to assimilate such life altering information with such grace.
"I just wonder why Gran never told us until we met you all?" Sookie asked her hands on her hips.
"She did mention the Brigant's enemies and that would be my best guess." Godric replied having given this some thought earlier.
"Yes with your heritage this makes you Prince and Princess of the Air Fae although most Fae would be against a half breed taking the throne." Eric said rather offhandedly and Sookie and Jason scoffed at the thought of being royalty but didn't get a chance to say anything.
'He is just standing there watching the house and I can't hear you talking are you talking?' Pam's thoughts broke into their conversation.
'Yes Pam we are talking I wonder why he would just stand there then it's got to be rather boring.' Sookie sent back to Pam while snickering at the absurdity of the situation.
"This is already coming is very handy don't you think guys?" Jason said with a wide grin.
"Yes" They all replied at once with a genuine smile.
'I will go out and tell him to go back to his house and then Pam you stay close and we can see if he does anything after I leave.' Eric mentally tells them and then kisses Sookie's cheek and leaves her with Godric and Jason. Eric was furious with Compton; he had disobeyed a direct order from his Sheriff. He flew off the porch and landed in front of Compton before the young Vampire could track his movements.
"This is so cool I can tell where everyone is and I can even tell the difference between everyone. It's like one of those sonar machines but each blip feels a little different. That's probably because of the empathy huh?" Jason said, as he absently took his sisters hand in his own.
"Can you feel what they are feeling from here?" Sookie asked Godric wondering about their bond, which she didn't know much of anything about. Adele had thought of everything that she knew as she mentioned it earlier but she wanted to wait to hear it from the horse's mouth if you will.
"Yes, can you both as well?" Godric wondered in awe of their abilities.
"Yes," they both answered him in unison.
"If we can already do this much I wonder what it will be like later?" Sookie added quietly as they all felt Eric finally get to lay into Bill; he was having fun pissing him off. Eric enjoyed making Compton squirm and he was practically stuttering not having any excuse for his presence.
'He is quite annoyed with us again tonight. I think we will be able to push him into reacting and revealing his plot sooner than we thought.' Eric sent out to the group.
Bill couldn't believe his bad luck. He had tracked them back from Fangtasia and until Eric appeared suddenly in front of him he hadn't been able to discover what was going on inside the house. He was infuriated that his mission was being hampered by the Sheriff's edict that he not set foot on the property. And since the Queen of course wouldn't want to upset her precious Sheriff there wasn't anything he could do about it. Following them back from Fangtasia hadn't been difficult however he was curious about their range of vehicles, one truck, one sports car, and a crotch rocket rounded out the comical caravan.
'Quit showing off and get him back to his place Eric these pumps weren't meant for tromping around in the forest all night!' Pam sent her thoughts ripe with her typical snark.
"Can we see if you can project your telepathy to me as well? As I can track Pam and Eric but not Bill as you both can." Godric asked the siblings.
"It's worth a shot lets try holding hands as skin to skin contact always increases our powers." Sookie answered and the three of them took each other's hands and Jason and Sookie attempted forming a mind link to Godric. They concentrated on the void sensation that was getting further away along with Eric and Pam's voids. After a few minutes the threesome started glowing and Godric inhaled sharply as his own mind was added to the siblings and as they weren't shielding the influx of minds from a fifteen-mile radius suddenly flooded into their minds.
"Focus on the minds that you want to hear and block the others out. Think of it like putting up curtains or partitions but something flexible and light or you will wear yourself out trying to keep it up." Sookie said soothingly as she rubbed her thumb across Godric's palm in an attempt to calm him.
"There we go they have stopped I guess that's Bill place then?" Jason said as they managed to get shields up and focus on their quarry.
'Eric are you at Bill's?' Sookie sent her query rather short not wanting to interfere with his one on one with Bill.
'Yes we are. You can follow us all the way over here?' Eric sent back.
'We will tell you when you get back k.' Sookie sent and they went back to observing the three voids.
"Wow this is so cool, we all have out own shields but while we are linked it amplifies our range. Plus I can hear minds that you guys have shielded. You try it Godric." Sookie said out loud.
"How do you deal with all the noise Ma Petite?" Godric asked, the strain in his voice apparent as he adjusted.
"You get used to it and keep in mind that this is night time so most of those minds are asleep, which makes it easier on us that's for sure." Sookie replied her understanding plain to hear.
"The three of you are glowing." Eric said pointing out the obvious having returned like a shot the moment he was finished with Compton leaving Pam to eavesdrop from her position in the forest close to his home.
"We are. Come join us it is quite the talent these two have." Godric told his Childe and Eric moved to take Sookie and Godric's hands, which broke the link momentarily, but as soon as they connect again all four begin to glow and radius expands again another five miles.
"Whoa that's weird that is a whole lot of shifter minds all of a sudden." Jason mumbled while the others adjusted silently.
"How far out are we do you think?" Sookie asked, curious about the pocket of similar minds as well.
"You know I think we can hear all the way out to Hot Shot making us a good ways to Shreveport as well." Jason replied.
"How do you stand all the racket and pick up anything useful?" Eric asked having overcome the initial onslaught of minds but was still too overwhelmed to function.
"Oh oops you have to shield hunny. Think of putting up curtains or partitions to block it out but use something light so that you don't have to work to hard to keep them up. I forgot to tell you we all have our own shields, there you have it now." Sookie said as she talked Eric through putting his shields up.
"You can still hear what I hear?" Eric asked his voice clearer now that he was able to turn the volume down so he could focus on figuring out what was going on with this new power.
"Yes Jason and I both can. I'm not sure why. Maybe once you get better at shielding or when we bond things will be different? I'm really not sure though." Sookie told him with a shrug of her shoulders.
'Bill just hung up with the Queen. He told her that he would not be able to complete his mission to bring Sookie back to the palace without Eric finding out.' Pam sent mentally breaking into their conversation.
'So Sookie's suspicions are confirmed what is his next plan?' Eric sent back.
'He is to watch and wait for an opportunity, which he told her might be difficult as she is never alone. I must come back I feel funny being separated from you all for some reason.' Pam sent her usual snark missing from her tone.
'Of course Pam.' Eric sent to her and they all watched her void speed across the cemetery.
"What did I miss?" Pam said immediately and Jason let go of Sookie's hand and when Pam joined the circle another five miles put them into Shreveport and Pam shrieked as soon as the onslaught hit her mind.
"Pam you need to shield yourself put up curtains to block it out like partitions between your mind and all the others." Jason told her in a soothing voice his thumb rubbing circles into her palm.
"Wow is this what you have been doing all this time while I was out watching boring Bill all night?" Pam groused to which they all chuckled. "How do you distinguish between minds to find anything useful? It's all just white noise." Pam complained her nose wrinkling delicately in disgust.
"When we first started we weren't so far out and most minds closer to home are a sleep so it was a little easier. But now that we have hit Shreveport more awake minds means more minds to sift through it seems." Jason said mostly to Pam, but the others were soaking up the information as well.
"It's just takes practice and more specific shielding." Sookie said and since she is the resident telepathy expert everyone no matter their age had no issues deferring to her.
"Lets see if we can all focus on the same thing. I think that the club might still be open has anyone found it yet?" Eric suggested after thinking about the tactical applications to this gift for a few moments.
"Yes I think I found it. Follow my mind and then each brain is a like a group of thoughts that you parse together see like this." Sookie said, as they all started by focusing on her thoughts then followed her mind, which was as if she was shining a spot light on the club.
"Oh wow this is what you hear when you are in the club?" Eric asked his eyes wide at the tenor of the thoughts they were listening too.
"Yes it's quite disturbing actually." Sookie replied her nose wrinkling in disgust.
"Maxwell is still letting in minors we really must teach him to look closer at those ID's. Should we call him and get him to throw them out?" Pam complained after listening to the patrons for as long as she could stomach.
"How would we explain our knowing this information Pam?" Eric asked her incredulous that she could overlook this.
"Oh right I forgot, which is odd… Actually this whole situation is odd. It's as if the moment we connected when Godric touched Eric in the booth the five of us have become some weird new entity." Pam said voicing the thoughts that had been running though her mind while she was out in the woods alone.
"Yes being outside with just Pam and Bill for that short period of time was unpleasant at best." Eric said admitting to feeling similarly to what his progeny described.
"This is going to become a bit of an issue with all of our separate responsibilities." Sookie said, suddenly wondering about her and Jason's jobs not to mention that they really didn't know much about their Vamps just yet.
"Lets take this one night at a time. Are we done with our experiment for the evening?" Godric said, he had noticed that everyone seemed to be panicking a little and felt that everyone could use some time to adjust. They all dropped hands and Sookie was shocked to discover that her radius was not reduced, but Jason kept his shields in place so he didn't notice.
"Would you all like another blood? I could sure use a drink right about now. What about you Sook?" Jason asked torn between acting as a host and wanting to numb himself with copious amounts of alcohol.
"Sure Jase but you know alcohol affects your shielding so don't go too crazy because my radius is still way out in Shreveport! What about yours?" Sookie said still cringing at the thought. They all looked askance while Jason lowered his shields and let out a groan.
"Well shit there goes the neighbourhood," he said with a good-natured chuckle. 'At least I'll never get bored again…' He thought to the men hoping to avoid the women and failing miserably. 'Definitely got to work on the private mind conversations.' He thought to himself when he realized that he had failed not that either woman had any illusions as to his character.
"Yes telepathy definitely takes away privacy that is for sure. I always try and stay out of people's heads unless I have reason to worry for some reason. Plus when you answer their thoughts instead of what they actually say aloud people tend to think your crazy." Sookie said while Jason poured shots for himself and Sookie and Sookie got the bloods out and put them through the microwave. They seemed to decide to stay in the kitchen without speaking.
"Well I don't know about y'all but I am beat and I have to work the early shift at the bar tomorrow, which means I'll be done before dark but I gotta get up well I guess it's earlyish compared to your o'dark 30 huh Jase." Sookie said while attempting and failing to stifle a yawn, which garbled some of her words.
"Oh crap I totally forgot all bout work, guess I should keep this all under wraps from the boys huh." Jason said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes I believe that it would be wise to keep most of these revelations to the five of us and I guess Gran too." Sookie said rolling her eyes at Jason's comment sometimes he rebelled against having to keep certain things from his friends.
"Should we come in and meet you guys at the bar again tomorrow night or will you guys come out here again?" Jason asked as he tossed back the rest of his beer.
"Lets meet at the bar then I have a surprise for you all." Eric replied with waggle of his eyebrows. Although he was only excited Jason couldn't help himself. "Oh I don't know about all that she's my sister you know." He said with a straight face so only Sookie could tell he was joking. She slapped his arm. "Sounds like a plan, so goodnight then... I guess." Sookie said shyly not sure what to expect.
"We should exchange mobile numbers first." Pam wisely remembered and they started passing them around putting their own numbers in for each other.
"Godric what area code is this?" Sookie asked when hers was finally passed back and she had studied the numbers.
"Dallas" Godric replied tucking his own back into his pocket.
"Oh, you live in Dallas?" Sookie asked her eyebrows lost in her hairline.
"Until recently I was Sheriff of Area nine in Texas. I resigned earlier and nominated my Second as my replacement. I will have to return to hand things over formally but we will figure that out later." He said as he drew her close and kissed her on both cheeks and then her nose.
"Goodnight Lover, Jason" Eric said, he wrapped his arms around his Maker and Sookie as he spoke.
"Yes goodnight Stackhouse siblings or should we say Brigant siblings, no I think we should keep that name under wraps so Stackhouse siblings it is." Pam said and with some manly hugs and cheek kissing later Jason and Sookie were left in their kitchen alone with only each others minds to read as they had both figured out how to expand and contract their radius to keep themselves sane while they sat in the kitchen with their new family.
'Do you think we are ready for this sis?' Jason thought.
'Not sure we really have a choice can you feel then getting further away? It feels wrong doesn't it?' Sookie thought back.
'Yes sort of empty or not whole, which is usually how I feel when I get too far from you, now that I come to think of it. I always thought it was the house and I think to an extent maybe it is something to do with the wards that Gran and Fintan put up maybe.' Jason thought to her.
"Well we had better get some shut eye or you're never gonna be able to get up for work." Sookie said out loud and they made their way up stairs and went through their nighttime routines all the while they kept an eye on the steadily fast moving voids that represented their three Vampires.
Godric jumped onto his bike and Eric and Pam got into his Corvette and they raced each other to the closest of their homes that had a room for each of them. The garage door closed and they filed into the kitchen and found themselves at their own kitchen table. Without the siblings they all felt an emptiness that wasn't there before this night. "Do you think we are ready for this?" Eric asked aloud.
"I'm not sure that we will have a choice. The pull towards them is very strong, and the physical feeling of emptiness would become unbearable if we were to part for too long." Godric confided in them, after which they sat in silent contemplation for a few minutes.
"Godric are you alright with relinquishing your area?" Eric asked quietly not one to second-guess his Maker but he wanted to know for sure.
"Yes, well I suppose it was time for a change anyways." Godric replied with a rare smirk and twinkle in his eye.
"What did Adele mean when she said that is was a good thing for you specifically Godric that we met this time around?" Pam wondered aloud, as she had been thinking about this comment all night and it was starting to eat at her.
"For the same reason that I am happy to relinquish my position as Sheriff." Godric replied cryptically.
"The wards on their home; did you both feel them when we entered the property?" Eric asked effectively changing the subject.
"Tonight yes, but not the other night. Although I did feel the presence of magic." Pam replied.
"Strange… Since this bond will alter our own it should be completed in their home within the wards." Godric posited.
"So we are going to go ahead and bond with them then?" Pam asked always the blunt one. They all looked at one another and nodded before Godric spoke.
"Yes and I believe the sooner the better if we want to keep them away from the Queen." Godric said giving voice to their decision being the eldest.
"Alright." They agreed verbally.
Back in Bon Temps with the siblings who had mentally followed them home while they readied for bed. 'Huh I guess they live somewhere in between here and Shreveport, lets says goodnight again to see if we can talk to them all the way from here.' Jason thought to his sister as they lay in their beds.
'K do we need to link up?' Sookie wondered silently hoping that wasn't the case as she was very comfy under her covers.
'Don't know… Lets try like this first k,' Jason replied and they both thought towards them.
'Goodnight' they thought and pushed, which Godric, Eric and Pam all heard in their minds at the same time. They each sent back their own personal goodnight to the siblings but heard nothing back.
"Hmm I guess we can't send from this distance only the telepaths can." Eric said and they pulled out their phones and let them know.
'Huh well I guess we got through but they didn't.' Jason thought to his sister after they read the texts.
'Night Jase.' Sookie thought.
'Night Sook.' Jason replied.
"I'm going to turn in boys don't stay up too late." Pam said softly as she kissed their cheeks and headed off to her room.
"I've missed you Godric." Eric told his Maker once they were alone.
"And I you." Godric replied with a soft smile on his face.
"You have been blocking our bond and now you are giving up your position." Eric attempted to speak without being accusatory but found it difficult, as he was worried about his Maker.
"I have been weary for sometime my Childe, three thousand years is a long time." Godric told him.
"And now?" Eric asked hoping that for once he wouldn't talk in circles.
"Now I see that I had reason to think that I was missing something but could figure out what it was. Strange that after all these years once the five of us joined I finally begin to feel whole." Godric told him. Both Eric's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline at his words. Understanding washed over him as well as gratitude that the stars seemed to be aligning for them finally.
"Let us go rest and tomorrow we can start the next three thousand years off fresh with our new family." Eric offered and Godric accepted.
