Panic overtook me as soon as I hit the water. It took a moment before I was able to push it back enough to kick my feet and reach up for something, anything I could use to pull myself up. I managed to grab a indention in a rock nearby and pulled myself up out of the water, partly lying on the smooth rock. Gasping for air.
Something moved out of the corner of my eye, searching for any thoughts only to come out empty. I thought maybe it was a animal, it wouldn't be a were cause I would be able to hear them. A twig snapped causing me to start to sink back in to the water, looking around to see if I could see anything. Please just let this be a figment of my imagination.
I screamed as I was suddenly pulled from the water, in a movement to fast to belong to a animal or human. No this was one of the supernatural. "Faelyn, I won't hurt you." It was amazing how much relief filled be when I heard Godric's voice. I stopped fighting against him and turned in his hold. Allowing him to pull me closer as I leaned against him. "Next time you want to alert me to your presence, please don't step on a stick."
"I believe you are more of a magnet than your aunt. "Eric said as he stepped out of the water, dragging dad behind him. "Idiot here jumped after you." Eric explained when he noticed I was trying to figure out why Eric had my father. "Is he alright? He didn't get hurt did he?" I asked. "He's fine. I just knocked him out." I rolled my eyes at his answer. Go figure.
"Fae what happened?" Godric asked, I became aware that one of his hands was resting on my waist. It made it hard to think but I had to answer his question. "Dad came to Sookie's to get me so I could explain my side of things to Andy for the police report... Pam reacted defensively and I guess he decided she wasn't safe. He wants to take me away, I think he's afraid of Sookie right now, he also said something about not liking that Jessica was with me. Which is why we ended up on the bridge."
"I believe it was a werewolf hybrid that attacked us on the bridge. It tried to push the truck off but dad fought it. I got a vision and I reacted out of instinct taking that hit and I got thrown off... when did you two arrive? As I remembered the attack the pain in my arm was suddenly my main focus. I looked to see that my arm had claw marks with fresh blood seeping from the wounds.
"Your Godric's. Jason can't take you away ever." Eric growled but made attempt to harm my father. "It was right after Jason jumped." Godric answered, watching Eric carefully. They seemed to be talking to each other.
"You have no idea how scared he is to have me for a daughter. He wishes I was a normal human and hates that I'm not. He doesn't know how to react... we use to be close... I don't know what changed but I do know that if you hurt him Eric you could risk losing Sookie." I decided to warn Eric, after all he wasn't excatly known for his patience.
"The moron is safe." Eric rolled his eyes at me. "Ok, that's great. Now I need to go to a hospital or at least a doctor of some sort." I thought out loud as I noticed how deep the wound was.
Those words is how I ended up at Fangtasia with Dr. Ludwig. The little woman was enjoying this far to much. The needle that she was using to stitch my arm was held steady and she had a quick hand but every time I made a sarcastic comment she pulled and it hurt.
"Ok the next time you do that I'm going to forget I'm the human and throw you out the door." I glared at her. "Not the temperament I thought you would go for Godric." and now she's ignoring me... well its better than hurting me.
"Interesting..." Dr. Ludwig said as she watched my hands. "Yeah... just started doing that a little while ago. You mind... I'm a freak enough as it is. Its already bad enough that Eric is going to do everything possible to drive me crazy shortly."
"and here I thought I had hidden my plan well." Eric commented from his damn throne. "Shouldn't you be... oh I don't know, with my Aunt? You know the woman that has been freaking out since you left last night." I glared. "Pam is bringing Sookie to me. Jessica will be coming as well."
"Ahh yes, how is young Sookie doing?" I looked over at the doctor. "Some where around... adjusting to immortality." I told her. "So you've finally decided to turn her?" She pulled on the thread a little to much. Causing me to glare. "You know I may be wrong but I think your enjoying this a little to much." She gave a small smile which was creepier than her normal bored expression.
"Maybe, maybe not. Hold still or this will just take longer." she tugged on the thread. "Just thought I'd throw this in... The next time you do my little light here is going to be used to throw you out the god damn door." Eric chuckled.
"Your the one who wanted a doctor." He reminded me. "Yeah well now I wish I didn't leave the choice of doctor up to you." She tapped my shoulder. "You know, your not bad kid. Definitely amusing."
"Tell me about it. Its one of the reasons I can't get rid of Eric." She finished up rather quickly. "Sookie isn't the only one who was freaking out last night over your little vanishing act Eric." Pam announced as soon as she walked threw the door. "Little Faelyn here-" I pointed at her. "Finish that sentence and I will hurt you."
"Try not to create your own harem boys." The doctor said before heading out the door. "What could you do to me?" Pam laughed. "For starters I could always try blackmail. I've always been very good at that." She walked past me, looking slightly over her shoulder. "I pity the fool who messes with you when you go vamp."
"I might hit you or ignore you. Haven't decided yet." I told her. "You don't hate vampires Fae, if you did you wouldn't want to know where-" "Ok! and who in the hell even suggested that I hated vampires? I'm still alive because of you all. So no I don't but that doesn't mean I'm willing to just throw away my chance at being human for a little while. I'm not stupid, I know I'll either die one way or the other."
"Your choice. Though I think your just afraid of what your father will think." I just had to grab a hold of that damn rock... "Speaking of my father." I turned to face Eric. "Where is he?" He smirked. "Sometimes I wonder who the real parent is." No surprise here Eric was being a smart ass again.
"And I am still wondering what Sookie sees in you." I got to my feet, I felt lightheaded with the sudden movement. Placing my hand against the table to brace myself. It faded within a minute but there was no doubt that it was noticed by everyone. "Faelyn-"
"I'm fine." I told them before I headed for the basement. Eric always wanted to lock my dad in there. Says he's annoying and would deserve a good scare. There was no doubt I would find him there now.
I stopped in my tracks, my head tilted slightly to the left almost as if I was straining to hear. My dad was definitely awake. Son of a bitch! He yelled in his head, causing me to throw up the shield so fast I was dizzy again. Not to mention I had a headache now.
"The key Eric." I snapped when I found the door was locked. He just smirked and tapped his pocket. "Seriously he's-" I stopped speaking. Godric knew but I hadn't told Eric or Pam. Jessica didn't know and I didn't even know her so it just felt weird saying something I had kept hidden for so long.
"Say it and I'll open the door." Eric said. "Ok, I've always been wondering. Has your ego always been this out of control or did you just wake up one night and decide to be a total asshole."
"That's not what I wanted to hear Fae." He smirked. "I'm not playing your mind games. I don't have to tell you anything. If you can't figure it out on your own then your not meant to know. Go to hell Eric."
I grabbed a knife and got to work on removing the handle on the basement door. Now this task in itself wasn't easy. I mean have you ever tried to remove a handle with a knife? I guess Godric decided to take pity on me cause the next thing I know, Eric's lying on the ground and Godric's unlocking the door.
