Chapter Song: Syndicate by The Fray

Chapter 2: All We Know For Sure

Galen lay on her left side, trying her hardest not to lay on her back. She had noticed that when she was lying flat on her back most times, it made it hard for her to breathe.

Rain slapped against her bedroom window. Thunder rumbled and she found herself jumping slightly at the sound.

Godric's arms tightened around her waist and he sighed against her neck, "Do not be afraid, Galen."

Galen closed her eyes as shivers traveled down her spine. Even sick, she didn't know she could ever feel this way about someone.

She relaxed into the touch slowly. It had been two weeks since she'd met Godric and already she felt like she knew him longer than that.

She turned slowly in his arms so that she faced him. His brilliant blue eyes stared back at her slightly dull brown ones. He took in her now dulling chocolate hair and smiled.

"Are you afraid?"

Galen shook her head slowly. "No," she said. "I'm here with you."

He chuckled softly and ran a hand through her hair. A frown passed across his face. "Galen, I..."

"What? Spit it out."

"I think I'm in love." Godric said slowly.

Galen frowned. "With who?" she asked defensively. The idea of Godric being in love with someone else broke her heart a bit.

"You."

She thought she didn't hear him correctly. "Well, that's good that you-wait. Me?"

Godric nodded. "Yes. You." he said, pulling her closer to him. He placed a kiss on her forehead, her cheek, then her lips.

Galen blinked back tears. "You shouldn't be in love with me, Godric. One day I'm going to die. One day soon."

Godric loosened his hold slightly. "What do you mean 'one day soon'"?"

Galen closed her eyes tightly. She knew it would come down to this eventually. She would have to tell him. "Godric, as of today, I have five months and two weeks, maybe less, to live."

He pulled away all together. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Galen sighed, tears rolling down her eyes. "Godric, its hard for me to even accept! How the hell am I supposed to tell anyone else?"

"You should have told me that first night. I could have-"

"There's no could, Godric! You would have left if I had told you that first night! Don't you understand, Godric? I am dying! The doctor said I have six months at most to live. With stage 5 cancer, Godric, I could die any day!"

Godric's head fell in his hands and when he looked up at her again, red tears rimmed his eyes.

"In only two weeks, Galen, you've become the most important thing in the world to me. In only two weeks, you've become everything to me."

Galen's breathing picked up and she tried to calm down.

"Godric," she breathed out, her breath becoming more and more short. "Godric, I know. I thought I was going to die alone but..."

She coughed violently, getting out of the bed and bending over the trash can by her bed.

Godric could hear the foamy, pink spit being emptied into the trashcan. He got up and went to get her some water, though she probably wouldn't even be able to keep it down. He waited for her to finish her coughing but it went on four three more hours non stop.

He gave her water between coughs, hoping it would help, but it didn't. And that was when it hit Godric: Galen Frost was dying right before his eyes. There was only one thing to do.

He was going to turn her.

A/N: Yes! Godric has a scheme! Only 15 more days till True Blood season 4! Excitement cannot describe it! Okay well until next time :)
