Awe, you guys are great!
I wanted to say thank you for the reviews I really appreciate them. Now I don't want to go and fish out actual lines from True Blood.
I bet we all know what happens and I want this story to be mine. Ya know.
So yes, some things may change but the all the events from the series will stay. I promise.
Here's chapter 3, hope you enjoy it!
"What… you're two-thousand years old!" The young girl gasped in disbelief as she sat on her knees comfortably in front of the caged bars as the other figure sat cross legged and amused by her reaction. "Yes Anna," Godric spoke as the girl in front of him got lost in her thoughts, she seemed to be figuring something out. After moments went by she spoke up, "Wouldn't that mean you're older than Jesus?" Merely nodding his head, "It is too bad I was not able to meet him." Anna jumped up in the air out of excitement, "You're like a living history book!"
Godric gave her a small smile. It had been two weeks since their initial meeting and they got along in a strange way. Godric was somewhat bipolar, one second he was his usual self and the next he was growling telling her to "stop that'. Whatever that meant. He seemed to be bewildered just as much as she was. The spoke for a few minutes before Gabe's voice boomed around the room, "Okay the fanger has had enough food. Get your ass up here kid." Anna sighed, the man thought he was so high and mighty. "Goodbye Godric," she said with a smile before making her way towards the staircase, "It is always a pressure to speak to you, young Anna."
"Why the fu-hell are you down there for so long every time?" Gabe interrogated as she closed the basement door and turned around looking unfazed. After being growled at by a vampire a few times angry humans don't seem as threatening. "That is none of your business. Unless the Reverend has a problem with it then I'll keep doing it," She answered simply trying to make her way around him. "Now you listen to me you little bitch. You may be a favorite among the Reverend and his wife, but if I found out you are a fang-banger. Then I'll definitely bang you, get it?" Gabe threatened while grabbing her forearms and shaking her. "Let me go!" She screamed making Gabe laugh, "Oh yeah-" The angry man started but was cut off by another man's voice. "Hey dick head, do you normally pick on girls?" Anna craned her neck to the left to see who it was, it was that new blonde man who had joined last week. "Jason," Gabe gruffed before dropping his hands and Anna was able to flee towards Jason. Thank god he had come.
"I was just heading out. Want to tag along?" Jason asked with a lazy smile before flickering amused eyes at Gabe who was steaming about being caught. "I'd really like that, thanks." Anna said making her way down the hall not even looking back at the guard. "S'okay, your name is Anna… right?" He asked sweetly making her nod, "Yes, and I'm guessing you're Jason." He laughed at her and the spoke a few more words but parted ways once they were out of the church. There was something about him, she had this feeling of mystery around him but she couldn't put her figure on it. Shrugging it off she made her way home, but did she know there would be horrible news announced.
"Steve has finally made the lock down for this Thursday! That monstrous thing will finally be burned to hell," Christine cheered in the kitchen nearly making Anna fall off the counter top that she had just jumped up onto. "Yes hunny, it's official," Her father said with some sick smirk plastered on his face she did not know anymore. He use to be so loving, caring but now he was so angry and fed off of Christine's wacked out mind. "Anna isn't this great?" Christine turned her attention to the most silent about the news. Anna glanced around the room uneasily but nodded before escaping to her bedroom. She only had two days left with Godric. Only two days. She slumped on her bed and just cried for what seemed for hours.
The next day she had made her way back to the church, eyes slightly puffy and red. She saw Gabe there as usual but the Steve Newlin was also standing there. They were having a hushed conversation but stopped immediately when Anna came into view. "Anna, there you are! I wanted to say you're not needed anymore. We could use your hands with helping get the lock down ready. Go see Sarah in the prayer room." Steve spoke well more like commanded and she wanted to refuse but knew her place in the church. She was a doll, and any doll can be smashed if they aren't wanted anymore. Anna nodded before leaving her eyes placed on the metal door for a few seconds.
Anna was put to work by Sarah and a few other women of the church. She was put into a group of five with four other girls. All around the same age but the lack one common interest. Their hate for vampires. Being brought up in such a hateful place, Anna was unsure of vampires and if they were evil or not. But after meeting Godric she knew that not all vampires were evil. They were just trying to survive the only way they knew.
Thursday, was it really Thursday? It seemed to come much too fast for Anna's liking and she cursed time all together. "Anna, I laid out that beautiful cream summer dress I got you for your last birthday. You must look presentable," Christine stated after leaving the girl's room. She had to look presentable for a celebration of slaughtering a living thing, Godric to be exact. She scoffed before biting her lower lip. Crying right now would probably get her a smack for feeling sad over a fanger. Calming herself while stepping into her dress and shimming it up her hips. She looked into her mirror while sliding the straps onto her shoulders. Sighing at her appearance before exiting the room. "You look lovely!" Anna cringed at the high pitch coming from her neighbor who was most likely going to come along with her family to the church. Anna said a low thank you before making her way out of the house. She was overwhelmed with all this excitement within her.
Anna knew she was sad and angered, yet she felt excitement. What was wrong with her? Why did she feel like such a freak over her emotions? "Come Anna, we are leaving now," Her father called from across the lawn making her look up into the dark sky. This was a day she would lose a part of herself. Lose Godric forever.
While heading to the church, it was only a fifteen minute walk from her house; convenient, screams could be heard coming from their destination. Her father gripped her arm halting her, "Everyone head back to the house. That thing must have gotten lose!" Watching her father head in that direction she felt compelled to follow so she ran after him ignoring the fact Christine was calling out her name. Catching her breath a little Anna couldn't help but stand and watch the commotion surrounding the church. It was like a scene from a movie or something. With a flash she felt frightened and pain. Putting a hand on her chest she felt like she was suffocating, what was happening to her? Then her mind wandered to Godric. Godric!
Dashing to the church entrance and inside. There was no way to describe what was going on inside, there were vampires and so many screams. That's all she could register but at least her feet were moving on their own apparently because she ended up down the hall towards the prison that held Godric for far too long. Before she could take another step she hit a wall and she hadn't even seen it coming. Shrieking and thrashing around as she stayed pinned, was she going to die? "Anna, hush child it is me," that beautiful familiar voice rang through her ears and she fell silent and still. Eyes were locked and they seemed to have a mutual understanding. They both cared enough to be relieved that they were fine. Godric perked up though and looked to the left, "Stay here. There is something I must tend to." With that she was alone just as quickly as she was pinned. Sliding down the wall oddly enough she felt calm and serene, she most definitely needed to see a doctor. Her emotions were just everywhere.
Hearing everything go silent she got up off the ground and slowly made her way to the great hall. There stood Godric holding Steve by the neck and making a speech which made a lot of sense. The church followers dropped their wooden weapons and guns before making their way out of the building. And in a blink of an eye Godric was before her making her stumble backwards. He really needed to stop that. She blinked a few times as he made the space between them disappear and whisper her name. Feeling so light inside now, she had never experienced such a feeling and she wasn't sure how to make it.
"And what exactly is this thing?" A new voice come into the mix startling her to death. Damn vampires and their supernatural powers! "Not a thing but a who, Eric," Godric spoke looking up to the freakishly tall man who didn't seem happy to see how close Godric and her were. Eric scoffed, "Is she one of them?" Anna knitted her brows not sure what to make of the conversation the unfolded in another language in front of her. However she knew it was about her, both would glance at her after a few sentences.
"That is final my child. Go to the nest at once and we will finish this discussion another time," Godric finished before turning to Anna expecting something, but what? Probably her to ask about what a hell a nest was but that could wait. "Godric…?" Anna said cocking her head staring at him. He seemed nervous well no he didn't look it but she felt it. "Child, will you come with me?" His voice so tender, like sweet music to her ears but he also looked torn. How could she say no, plus it wasn't like she wanted to go back home. "Are you sure?" she asked making the side of his lips twitch, "I do not play games Anna, you should know that." And that was true; he was horrible at playing games. So he never entertained the fact even emotional games. "I will," Anna finally said and then she was in the air.
Did she forget to mention she hated heights?
