Hello again!
I am so sorry the first chapter was so short, but it was really just a small introduction.
Here is chapter two! I hope you enjoy it and please review. I would love to know how you are liking the story so far, or what little of it at least. Haha
The room held silence for a couple minutes as if both figures in the room were sizing each other up, but we all knew if the young man wasn't caged and this was a fight he'd win hands down. "Are you not afraid young one?" Godric's voice cut the silence in half making Anna come back to reality. "Well if I said no… that would be incredibly dumb," She answered and it seemed to please the caged vampire. "Yes… so why have you not run?" Anna raised a brow, had he not forgotten he was behind bar that could burn him by one touch. Growing inpatient he growled at her a little making her knees go weak. "I don't know…" she finally whispered making him now raise a brow at her. He was awfully beautiful for something labeled a monster. He stood about three or four inches taller, his stance glowing dominance and his eyes stormy yet dull all at the same time.
"Staring is considered rude, Child," he said matter-of-factly making her face go a bright tomato. Why was she still here? Anna felt a pull between them as if she were trapped and it was frightening as hell. Quickly she took a few steps back ready to leave the basement and never turn back. Godrics eyes looked towards the ground in a flash watching her steps. Anna nearly fell backwards when her heels collided with the bottom step. Gain her balance she could see a new look in those dull eyes of the vampire before her, amusement? "This is farewell is it not?" Godric spoke as if she should say goodbye to him yet she merely nodded before bolting upstairs. Leaning against the door she felt as if her heart was going to throw it's self out of her chest and run away. If that were possible of course. She glance at the clock far to her right, great, she was late for dinner.
Anna ran, well more like sprinted, all the way home and all at the same time trying to make an excuse up in her head. Opening the front door she wasn't surprised to see her stepmother, Christine, standing there, arms crossed and with the usual scowl placed on her face. "You're later," the woman spoke pointing out the obvious before asking, "Why?" Anna slipped off her brown boots while speaking, "I got caught up at the library. I am sorry." Christine huffed before turning around and disappearing into the dining room, oh this was going to be a joy. "Anna, come to the table we have waited long enough," A man's voice boomed making her roll her eyes already knowing she was going to get a lecture, "Father I am sor- Reverend…" Anna's eyes almost went as wide as saucers, there seated at the table with her parents were the Newlins. "Hello Anna," Sarah Newlin greeted while Steve Newlin has some weird smirk on his face and nodded towards her. Anna took her seat across from her stepmother who looked like she wanted to strangle her. This was definitely going to be a fun evening.
From there the night got dull, at least for Anna. The adults chit-chatted about politics and the usual 'hate vampires' topic. Anna slumped in her chair thinking if her Father had never met the Barbie across from her then life may be more peaceful. Just maybe. "So Anna I hear you applied for Brown, that's awfully for don't you think," Sarah spoke including the teenager in the conversation circle. Sitting up straighter Anna knew she couldn't say the actual reason, to get the hell away from here, so she faked a smile and said, "Well they have a great Medical division there." Steve seemed to be interested now and said a few words which Anna nodded to. Everyone knew she wanted to be a doctor, ever since her mother passed away from cancer. After a few minutes of talking about Anna and her life, the topic changed but still focused on her. "Anna, I was wondering if you could run an errand for me tomorrow?" Anna turned to face Steve but glanced at her Father whom was smiling. Why was he smiling?
Steve took Anna's silence as to go on, "Your father and I have been speaking, you're almost eighteen which means you can join the church but he wanted to give you a task to show your dedication." Her brows knitted together, what have these people been scheming? "Oh, I see…" She trailed off not sure if she wanted to hear the rest. "You are a pleasant girl. You are rather quiet and beautiful, but this church is a place of faith and strength. Our purpose is to destroy this damned blood suckers and pray for Hell to be kind if it can to such abominations." Dear lord, this man was really off his rocker. Also, she hated being called quiet the only reason she was because she was afraid of getting a beating from her Father. He sort of went mad when her Mom died. It's been rough on them both but for him to be violent towards her. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard that sickening cheery voice, "I want you to take odd shifts to check up on the beast under the Church. Would you be willing to show your belief in the church and support our ways?" All eyes were on her as if they would incinerate her if she answered no. Glancing at her father she saw the look in his eyes he expected her to take this offer or else. Supressing a sigh, "I'd be delighted to Mr. Newlin." The two women cheered and hugged Anna as if she had just won them all a million dollars. What had she gotten herself into?
Anna stood there in disbelief, there were so many True Bloods to choose from and she had no idea where to start! It was a new day and she already wished it was over. She was so out of place, she was wearing brown ankle boots and a little white summer dress. All her hair pulled to one shoulder. And there she stood in a shady little market looking for True Blood. She's probably end up on the six o'clock news for being murdered. With a huff she grabbed the closest packets and hualed them up to the counter. The dirty old man who ran the place chuckled, "Now what does a little lady like you need True Blood for. Hmm?" Anna wanted to roll her eyes but it probably would be wise to do so in such a place. "Just running some errands, Sir," she politely stated making him eye her neck, "You're not a fifthly fang-banger, are you kid?" She gasped and shook her head in anger. He smiled before apologizing and saying have a good day before she paid and left.
A thirty minutes walk to the Church gave her time to cool down, she felt like smacking that dirty fart upside the head. How dare he! Grumbling a profanity she made her way down numerous halls before coming into contact with Gabe, he was currently guarding the massive steel door which the vampire lurks behind at this very moment. "Finally I can go grab a bite. Now be careful and don't do anything stupid. Got it kid?" Anna merely nodded before walking past him and pulling the door open. A flash of his face appeared in her mind making her halt. Why did that happen? Shaking her and mentally preparing herself, she began to go back towards the place she dreamed of last night. To Godric.
"You have returned, young one," He voice right when she hit the bottom, how did he know it was her? She flicked the light on to see him leaning against the wall and legs crossed. His eyes were closed, so how did he know? Like he could read her mind, "Your smell is very intoxicating." Her heart raced upon hearing that, she was intoxicating? "I have brought you some True Blood. I didn't know what you, um, drank so I'm sorry if you don't like them," Anna spoke apologetically while making her way to the cage and placing a few between the bars. Then all of a sudden he was close, too close actually. Anna shrieked before falling flat on her butt and stared wide eyes. Godric's eyes held amusement just like yesterday, "Do not be afraid. I will not harm you." Anna opened her mouth but nothing came out. Watching him sit in front of her taking one of the bottles in hand and slowly bring it to his lips.
His eyes stayed on her as he drank and she couldn't look away. Anna had never seen such a thing before. "Do you find me interesting?" He finally spoke while putting down his meal. Not knowing what was the right answer she thought before opening her mouth, "You're the first vampire I've ever seen. So yes." His eyes, another emotion flickered but then disappeared, "You intrigue me as well child." That took her breath away.
