Eric was so speechless when he found out that Godric had helped me that he just stared at Godric for about 5 minutes before he said. "Really?" That was it. After 1,000 years to improve his speech that all he can come up with. Sookie however was furious at me, i knew she would be but honestly she knew better, i could read minds after all. It was so not lost on me what was going on and with how strong she was feeling about it, it could have brought on a vision and i did not need to see that. So i put a end to it.
"I may not be able to do anything to him but i know this was your idea. Your grounded. Home, school, work, and then you go straight home again. No going out." She practically yelled. "Ok i understand the whole sexual frustation thing to a extent but if you think i was going to let you do that in the same house and risk getting a vision of you two going at it. Your insane." I snapped, getting defensive.
"I forgot about that..." She said and looked at Eric. "You are way to soft hearted." He said, i could tell he was determined not to loose to her. I gave him 5 minutes before he cracked. "You know how her emotions trigger the visions." It wasn't proven if i was also a empath yet... fun right? I didn't think i was, since i only picked up on Sookie's when she was... with Eric. Fucking uncomfortable.
"She did not need to interupt." Eric growled. "Hey Sook, don't you need to go to work?" I asked knowing it was probally way past her lunch break now. Her eyes widened and gave Eric a quick kiss before running out the door. "Cya later!" I called after her and she shouted behave. "Bad move, you just sent away your only protection." Eric growled. "Oh shut up! You will have time with her later, pick her up from work and drive her to your place." I snapped and sat down on the couch. I expected him to follow but when i looked over my shoulder i saw Godric talking to him.
I noticed Eric immediantly calmed down and wondered what Godric had told him. Instead of asking i turned on the tv and turned on Scary Movie. I wasn't sure if this was actually meant to be scary or not, i just found it funny. "Don't give Godric any trouble." Eric said and i looked up at him. "Didn't i explain this already? Or were-" He covered my mouth. "Enough, just behave for once." With that he was gone. Asshole.
I went back to watching tv and was only barely aware that Godric was now sitting next to me. We both laughed at the two guys stabbing each other. It's not that them stabbing each other was funny it was just the faces they were making i think that made it funny. Once the movie was over i asked him if we could go outside, he was reluctant at first but he gave in and that lead us to where we were now.
In the tree where i proceeded to scare him by jumping in to the tree next to it. I didn't mean to do it on purpose, but i use to climb these trees a lot so i've done this a lot. "Don't do that again." Godric said and i smiled. "Aww and who's going to make me?" Probally not the best thing to ask. He smirked and disapeared. Aw shit. I looked around but i knew it wasn't any use. I wouldn't see him. I clung to the branch, very aware that i wouldn't be able to fight him off and this was probally useless. At this moment i wished i could read vampires minds. I heard a leaf russle and i moved as quickly as i could to the left, jumping on to the branch below me. I kept moving, even though i knew he was just toying with me.
Just as i was about to jump down to the ground his arm wrapped around my waist, holding me against him. "No fair. Your using your speed against me." I told him. "You shouldn't be so reckless." He countered. "I've been climbing these trees since i was little, i've done more reckless things than jumping from branch to branch and i haven't gotten hurt yet."
"You can't always land on your feet." As soon as he said that he dropped me, i saw the ground rushing towards me and i almost panicked. Instead i straighted and bent my knees a little, landing on my feet with a thud before i took off towards the driveway. "We'll see!" I called. I heard him growl and something about it was different, it wasn't like Eric's when he growled at me because he was angry or annoyed.
I could feel him watching me and i just knew by the emptyness that was his thoughts, i couldn't hear that he was coming closer. I laughed, actually enjoying the game of cat and mouse. If was rare that i played this game and i wasn't in danger. I just wished i wasn't the mouse. I felt air rush passed me and say him in front of me, fangs out, smirking. I turned right, running till i reached a tree and grabbed a low branch, pulling myself up and then slipping in to the thick forest air that surrounded my aunts home.
Once i was a good amount of distance i jumped down, i knew he was still following me and i didn't care. If he was a werewolf he would have lost me by now. You know the whole thrill of the chase? Its fun! Well when your life isn't on the line. I giggled right before i was pulled to the side and pinned to the tree. I was panting, trying to get oxygen. Godric picked me up and though i tried to stop him, it was useless. "No fair!" I said sulking.
He didn't give me any warning he just took off running break neck speed towards the farmhouse. When he stopped i saw dad's truck parked and he was coming out the front door looking around frantic. Sook said she would be here! He was pulling out his phone to call her when he saw me, in Godric's arms. What the hell is going on here? I knew that question was directed to me but i wasn't about to answer yet. Well atleast i knew why Godric had cut the game short.
Wordlessly Godric set me down and dad came up to us. "What were you two doing?" He asked and from his tone i could tell without having to read his mind that he was judging and coming up with very wrong conclusions. "We were playing cat and mouse." I told him and laughed when he looked taken a back. "What?" He asked like he hadn't heard me the first time. "I asked him if we could go outside and we started climbing trees, then it turned in to a game of chase." I explained. He looked embarassed for a couple of seconds before he grinned. "How old are you Fae?" I could tell from the way he glanced at Godric that he wanted to ask him that to.
"I don't know how old are you?" I asked refering to the last time we pranked Hoyt. Woopy cusions, balloons, and needles thats all i gotta say. "Ok so i'm not the person to be asking that question." He chuckled."You two want to go to the lake?" I looked at him curiously and he just smiled. Come on Fae it will be fun. I haven't see you in a week. Atleast pick something to do, i was just thinking it was better than arming Godric with a cue stick and playing billards. I could just see it now. The white ball would be destroyed and the others balls would fly everywhere. I smiled, i so wanted to see if that would actually happen.
"I don't have a bathing suit." I told him and he shrugged. "Wear your t-shirt." Honestly i hadn't expected Godric to want to go, but he got in to the truck with us. Dad drove us to the lake and practically jumped right in. Godric and i just sat there for a minute and watched him dive under water. When he came back up he looked at us. "Well you two going to stand there all night?"
"Maybe." Was my instant response. He just grinned, he seemed ok with Godric but i could tell he was uncomfortable about him being so close to me. Unfortunately for me cause i move slower, when dad splashed us. I got soaked. "Jerk!" I laughed, i didn't really mind the water it was the cold that was getting to me. Despite that i took off my pants and ran in to the water and pushed dad under. Then swam away as he tried to catch me but i dove under at the last second.
It continued like that for a little while and he almost caught me but something pulled me under. Fast., i could hear my dad yell my name and saw him dive under. He was freaking out and i was to. Then he saw something and calmed down a lot. Your 2,000 year old stalker has you. Godric? Sure enough i looked down and it was him. He looked at me and it just spoke he was innocent and he didn't do it. Just one problem. He had a hold of my ankle. Dad pointed up and with in seconds i was thrown out of the water and in to the air, landing right back in the water with a huge splash. That was fun!
I came up and saw dad laughing. "What?" I asked and splashed him. "Nothing... you just looked so startled." He laughed. "Well excuse me for not seeing that coming." I smiled and looked around, not wanting to get caught of guard again. "He never came up." Oh no. I started swimming towards the shore as fast as i could. Only to be caught in Eric's arm and i saw Sookie standing on the shore. "How come we weren't invited?" Sookie asked sounded slightly offended but i could tell she wasn't by the amusement in her eyes.
"Y'all weren't there." Dad said and splashed her, her uniform completely soaked. "Oh you are so dead!" She laughed. She jumped on dad and they both went under, i didn't really get to see what happened next because Eric threw me really high in the air and i came close to hitting a tree branch. Needless to say i screamed. By the time all of us supposed-to-be-mature-people were done messing around we had exsausted ourselve's... ok well us semi-humans had. The vampires were still play fighting while Sookie, dad, and i were sitting in the bed of dads truck. It was funny to watch Eric get his ass kicked.
"Come on Eric! Is this what vikings are made of?" Sookie called laughing, she was only messing with him but the look he gave her made me look away. It was extremely intense. I laid back and closed my eyes.
I was vaguely aware that Sookie and dad had gotten out of the truck, i felt the truck turn on, someone jump in to the back with me and i heard dad say something to someone. That was when i forced myself to get up, i could tell they didn't plan on disturbing me. I blinked a couple of times and saw dad sitting there next to me, i sat up and looked around. I could see Sookie was going to drive his truck and the vampires were looking at her yellow peice of shit car. "It is not a peice of shit Fae." Sookie said defensively and i exchanged a sure it isn't look with both dad and the vamps. "I'm sorry." I said and blocked my mind so she wouldn't be able to invade my personal space.
When we got back i crashed, i don't remember how i got upstairs, i don't even remember how i got out of my wet clothes. I just know when i woke up the next morning to Sookie's annoying, 'Fae get up before i tell Eric your free game tonight!' That got me up, the way Eric acted now was going easy if i became free game it would be hell. I showered, got dressed, red bra with the matching panties, dark blue boot cut jeans, a red sleeved shirt that goes to my elbows, and of course my tenni shoes, and was down stairs in record time.
"I made waffles." Sookie annouced proudly and i smiled at her, we both know she can cook and both dug in to our food after she put some vanilla ice cream on top. Once we were done, had cleaned up the kitchen, and i had told her we needed to have that tomorrow, we got in to her car... i still think she needs to let Eric replace this thing. I noticed she didn't say anything and wondered if she had her sheild up so i decided to check. Yup firmly in place. She felt me push against her sheild and looked at me.
"Fae... i need to talk to you about something's that are important." At this i wondered what i had done wrong but when i looked at her she didn't look upset she looked worried. "Yea?" I wondered what had my aunt so worked up. She was clenching the wheel like her life depended on it. "Well... i want to become a vampire but this will affect you more directly than it would have before. I just don't have it in me to leave Eric. I can't think of myself getting older and dying while he watches." I was shocked, i have never expected this. This wasn't something she thought of, she always use to say she didn't want to be a vampire and now that's changed?
So there i sat in the middle of english, starring at the wall as i tried to see what was going to happen now. When i couldn't i realized she hadn't decided fully yet, she was deffinately going to it was that time that hadn't been decided, she was waiting for me to tell her what i thought, but i had been so surprised in the car that i couldn't even get the words to come out. I wanted to tell her that if this was what she really wanted and she couldn't even think of leaving Eric behind then go for it. I probally would have joked and told her she could watch my great grandchildren grow up for me. Though honestly i wasn't even sure if i wanted kids.
School passed pretty slowly, i had sat with the guys at lunch and they made plans to play basketball after school and invited me. I told them i was starting my first day at Merlottes and said i didn't get off till 1. I wasn't expecting them to say they would do it at night, i mean these guys barely even knew me. I could tell from their thoughts that they just planned on playing the game. So i told them i had to talk to my aunt. Now i just have to get past her and her vampires. Yup that's going to be easy... not.
By the time i had gotten to Merlottes i was so lost in thought that i had came close to walking in to the door. Sam had stopped me before i could. "What's going on Fae?" He sounded worried. "Nothing just deep in thought." I laughed coming back to the real world. "Well... ok, you can go change in the bathroom. Leave your backpack in my office." I nodded and went to go do as i was told. I knew Sam could tell something was off and he probally didn't want to force me to tell him.
Sookie had arrived to work about a hour after i had, i was only there early to go threw the basics of what i had to do. You know learn how to do the job. I was to come in early for a week till Sam was sure i didn't need help anymore. That was ok that just meant i had something to do and i didn't have to sit in the house bored out of my mind.
By the time the place had really gotten busy, which was of course you guessed it dinner time. I was trying to keep up with the customers. People were calling my name in just about every direction and when i had one table happy another was demanding my attention. I had no idea how Arlene and Sookie did it. I suppose i'll get use to it eventually. I was so grateful when it was time for a break and things had slowed down so Sam sent Sookie and me out. I could tell he wanted her to make sure i was ok.
"So how was school?" Sookie asked as we walked out back. "Slow, Grant and Mikey some boys i met yesterday in gym asked if i wanted to join them to play basketball tonight after work." I told her as i sat down and leaned against the wall. "Are they up to something?" She asked sounding worried as she took as seat next to me. "Sook do you really think i would have asked if they were up to something?" We both laughed at little. "No, sorry i'm just tired." I know the feeling. "Your going to have to talk to the guys, they have become protective of you and from what i hear Godric has claimed you."
Eric really needs to stop telling her everything. Stupid viking. "You already know how possessive Eric is and Godric is his maker." Ok so when i said its not going to be easy i should have said most likely impossible. "I know he did it to save your life but he was probally serious. Eric hasn't talked to him about it yet so i'm not sure." Well dad is just going to love this... "We're not saying a word to dad in till we know for sure." I said sounding a little panicked and for good reason, dad would do something stupid again.
"Oh goodie... why is it that when i'm with you stranger crap happens than when im with dad?" I asked. "Well i'm a danger magnet." She shrugged as if it was no big deal. "There is something i must tell you." I said looking out at all of the cars though i could barely see them. "What?" I smiled. "These shorts are to short how in the heck do you wear these?" I said tugging on them. She laughed at me for a minute before queiting down, the only left that showed her amusement was her grin. "You'll get use to it." She got up and opened the door. "but we have to go back now."
I almost asked if we really had to but ended up keeping my mouth shut and silently following her back inside. When we got in i realized why she wanted to go back. Eric was sitting at one of her tables with Godric and Pam. "Go get him." I smiled and gave her a little push. "When did you become a supporter of my relationship?" She asked. "You love him, he treats you right and he obviously means a lot to you. Of course i support it but it doesn't mean i have to like him." She smiled and hugged me and both of us heard a whistle. She took a step back and at the same time we turned towards the short bald guy that was thinking about us in a very very wrong way.
"She's my neice you disgusting-" I covered her mouth and just shook my head. We would get him back later. "He's not going to listen to us. He's to drunk." I said and pulled my hand away and brought her to Eric. "Pam do you happen to have anything we can use to ruin his car?" As soon as i asked that she produced a bag full of a variety of different nail polishes, removers, and make up. "Sam! I'll be back in 10!" I called, he looked at me. "It's your 1st day girl." I smiled. "Please!" I begged, he could deduct pay for all i care." He waved me off. "Thanks!" Pam was beside me and we went outside.
"His car is this one." I looked to see a olive green toyota on chrome spinners. "That just ain't right." I muttered but we got right to work. By the time we were done his windows were a nice pretty pink with purple and red swirls. "Will this do?" She asked. "Ya, i can't wait to see how he drives this home."
"You do realize you could get arrested." She honestly didn't care but no doubt by now she had heard everything from Eric. "That's when i play the innocent with Andy and no body knows a thing." She grinned. "I like you." She said as we started back. By the time we had gotten back Maxine Fortenberry was ready to order yet another drink. Unfortunately she was sitting at one of my tables. Pam returned to the others and i went to Sam. "She's had 5 already. Looks like she's ready for another." He sighed. "Give her one more and then she's cut off. I'm not having a replay of her dancing." He shivered. "Aww. Ok." I smiled and went to her.
"Well about damn time!" She exclaimed rather loudly. "I apologize for the wait." She raised her hand to silence me and then brought it back down with a smacking sound to the wooden table. "I don't need your excuses girl. Just get me a vodka." I left. It was then that i realized i was holding my breath no doubt a attempt to stop myself from telling her off. I took in a deep breathe and told Sam what she wanted. "Shit." He cursed but got it anyway's. "I'll call Hoyt." He sighed and i reluctantly picked up the vodka and brought it to the bitch.
"What took you so long!" She asked but didn't give me time to say a word, i had only been away for maybe 3 minutes. "That's the problem with you young people nowadays, to busy with your damn cell phones, and those music contraptions to actually do your jobs!" She exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air and slamming the against the table. Frightening a baby that was behind her. The cry went off and something inside me snapped. "Your in a public place why don't you atleast act civilized! Instead of frightening babies!" I snapped at her as the mother scooped up her child.
"What the hell do you know!" She screamed in my face. "Hoyt here yet?" I called to Sam. Trying not to kick her ass. "He'll be here in 5 minutes." Sam shouted back to me. "Not soon enough. Come on, get up." When she didn't move i grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the booth. Sookie walked towards me, her crazy Sookie smile in place. "What's wrong Maxine?" She knew what was wrong. "Your neice is useless." She exclaimed. "Coming from you that means a lot thank you." I told her.
She looked confused and that was all i needed to get her outside. She didn't need to scare anyone else. "I'll take her Fae, cover my area." Sookie said as we stepped out the door. "You might want to take her keys and lock her in her car till Hoyt gets here." , i was so use to this when i would come with dad this was normal but it didn't stop me from getting mad at her.
By the time i had finished work i was exsausted and i really wanted to go home and sleep but i had told Grant and Mikey that i would ask, so i would. I walked up to their table, my backpack thrown over my shoulder. I had changed back in to the clothes i wore to school. Pam and Eric were talking about Fangtasia, i guess they decided to close it for tonight or Pam wouldn't be here. Godric was just starring at a Tru blood bottle. Sookie was leaning against Eric with her eyes closed, no doubt as tired as i was and my night wasn't over with yet.
"I can tell by the way your just standing there Fae that you want something. What is it?" Eric looked away from Pam and was watching me. "Two guys i met at school yesterday invited me to play basketball with them tonight. I wanted to know if you guys had a problem with me going." I told him, might as well go right to the point. "You don't even know them. What makes you think their safe?" I read their minds, they just want to play ball. "I looked and didn't see anything bad." I told him. "You don't know if Bill has stopped for sure and in till we do, you can't go." I looked at Sookie.
"Your vampire is acting like a daddy." She giggled, he glared. It was then that i started looking, i focused on my future, Grants, and Mikey's. This really did come in handy.
"Damn it Fae!" Grant laughed as Mikey yelled and chased me, but i threw the ball in to the hoop right before he could get me. "What you don't like being beat by a girl?" I teased. "I thought you were tired, didn't you work today?" He asked pouting. "Yea i did, you can ask my aunt. She was there with me." Grant clapped his hand on Mikey's shoulder. "Maybe next time dude. Right now we should all get home, but next saturday we should play again. You can use the time to practice." Mikey pushed his hand off. "Nah next time Fae's on my team and you can have Ryan." Grant smiled. "Dude that's you little bro, he's yours alway's." I laughed. "Nah next time i'm playing with Ryan, y'all can team up."
"Eric it's safe, nothing happens. Can't you trust me for once? Why would i risk my own life for some silly game if there was danger?" He watched me, probally looking for any hint that i was lying but after what i had just seen he wouldn't find anything. "One of us is going with you." I knew he deffinately wouldn't change his mind about that. I sighed but didn't argue, there was no point.
