Faelyn's POV
Something doesn't make sense to me... If Emilie was a panther then why did Chase refer to Emilie as a Fox brat? Wouldn't that make Emi a Fox not a panther? Something isn't right and the only one who could set things straight is Emi.
She was terrified as she silently dug a hole in the ground next to me, her side touching me, she was shaking.
"It's alright child, everyone is safe." Godric said, kneeling before her. She looked at up him before surprising us both and jumped up to hug him. The expensive suit i hadn't noticed he was wearing being smeared with dirt. "I-i T-thank you!" She cried, tears soaking Godric's sleeve. Hesitantly Godric embraced her, trying to comfort her. "Cute." I heard Aiden say, i looked at him and saw him smirking.
"Haha! Looks like you've seen a ghost Fae!" I shook my head and smiled. "Nah just some teenaged brat." He glared. "Hey! I am not a brat, i'm awesome." I laughed. "haha, come dig wolfie." He rolled his eyes but sat next to me. "You two are weird." I heard Emi say, looking over i saw her watching us and i guess are stupidity was amusing cause she was smiling and had stopped crying.
"I AM KING OF THE WEIRD! Fae is the Jester." I fell back laughing at him when he threw his arms in the air. Godric was staring at him like what-the-fuck-have-i-done. I couldn't stop laughing in till Aiden shifted in to wolf form and was throwing dirt on me. "Hey!" I yelled as i rolled over and moved away from Aiden as fast as i could. Now i was covered in dirt, blood, and torn clothes. I looked like a mess, hell someone could probably mistake me for a zombie right now.
I hissed in pain as i got to my feet, my back feeling like it was on fire. I would need to treat the wounds soon or they could get infected or worse. "Faelyn, come here." Godric said. I listened, feeling him pull up what was left of the back of my shirt. He growled when he saw the wounds. "Aiden take Faelyn to the river, clean her wounds and bring her back here." Aiden nodded before dragging me off.
"Emi!" I called and she ran up to me. With everything that just happened i couldn't stand being seperated from her. I was afraid for her and already protective of her, with a pang of shock i realized that i was already protecting her like she was mine. Like she was my daughter. Godric must have realized that to as he watched us a odd look crossed his face. I didn't have time to figure out what it meant before Aiden continued to drag me away.
"Son of a witch!" I screamed when Aiden poured the cold water on my back, my fingers digging in to the ground. I didn't want to curse infront of Emilie but boy did i feel like cursing Aiden out right now. He chuckled before he finished cleaning out my wounds. I could feel fresh blood run down my back. "Going to have to get you back to Godric." He said easily pulling me to my feet.
"D-does it hurt?" Emi asked me. "I'm ok honey, i'm more worried about Godric." That was true. He is a vampire trapped in the day light cause of my stupidity. With that thought i took Emilie's hand and started running slowly for her sake back to Godric. To the one man that has truely been there for me through everything. Not even my father has been here for me when i needed him most... but Godric was willing to face the light for me. To die for me and i've just been acting like a spoiled brat.
"Godric!" I called when i got to the clearing and he wasn't there. Godric!" I screamed a minute later when he didn't answer. The place he was standing was covered in light. Oh no... please no. no. no. no. no. NO! "Calm down Fae, calm down. He was forced to go to ground." Aiden explained. That didn't stop my mind from bringing up horrible images, i wouldn't rest till i knew he was fine.
The entire day was spent hunting. It was a interesting exprience and after the first fishing attempt, Emilie and I settled for trying to find edible berries. I found out that Emi knew alot about plants. Her mama use to have a garden of just about any plant and books on top of books on them. Emi also told me that she was a were-fox. The panther from before was not her aunt but instead a woman her father had claimed as his sister but the panther pack didn't truely care for Emilie.
After awhile Emi shifted in to a small orange fox kit and slept on my lap while i leaned against the tree that Godric was "resting" under. Aiden returned with fish and started a fire. I found this way of life peaceful, no struggling just making our own way in life. It was nice, Aiden liked it to. "Must be the animal in me... probably why i like this so much." I smiled at his words. "Ok wolfie but whats my excuse for liking it?" He pretended to think for a moment.
"Your weird." He laughed, turning the sticks the fish were cooking on. "We already knew this." I laughed. I'm a faery who is in love with a 2,000 year old vampire, thinks of a werewolf as her brother and a were-fox as her daughter. My aunt and uncle are vampires, i'm pratically friends with Pam and she's syco. My father a half were-panther is pushing me away.
"Very true." He laughed and then threw up his hands and cheered. "WOO! Foods done!" I watched as he devoured three fish. "Damn..." I muttered. Emi jumped out of my lap and tackled Aiden for one of his fish, taking it she ran back to me and sat down next to me eating it. "Damn squirt i would have given you the fish... Didn't need to kick my ass." I laughed and she gave him a fox grin before she went back to eating.
Later that evening all of us were sleeping next to each other, I was only half asleep. Waiting for the sun to go down when i felt something grab my leg and drag me backwards. My eyes flew open and i started to scream when whoever it was covered my mouth. "Shhh." I relaxed instantly when i reconized his voice. Pushing his hand away from me, i smacked his shoulder.
"Damn it Godric you scared me." I whispered and he chuckled. "Twice now apparently." He heard me ealier... "Yeah." I was blushing i knew i was. Suddenly he was kissing me, pressing his body against mine. "Come home Fae." He pleaded and i know it must have taken a lot for him to plead. "Alright alright but i can't go back to Gran's house. Sookie might hurt Emilie... and i wouldn't be able to deal with that." He smiled.
"Well... unfortunately i am stuck at Compton's, fixing his mess but i can get you your own place." I sighed. "Forgot for a minute that you were King." I had forgotten... wish he wasn't. That he didn't have to protect me so much, that i wasn't in danger from other vampires so i could be with Godric. "Sire." I heard and instantly Godric was up. "Ah! Fae!" Emi screamed and i was on my feet. "Let her go!" I yelled and threw my light at the vampire. He dropped Emi and was sent flying. Pulling her in to my arms i stood protectively in front of Aiden and Emi.
"ENOUGH!" Godric growled. "We have been looking for you Sire." A Short blond woman said. "There is no reason to attack them, Amelia." She nodded and waved the others off. "Leave the children be." She ordered. "You have neclected your duties Sire. Your progeny has been in search of you." Godric shook his head. "Amelia, i do not have to explain myself to you. Any of you. Leave. I will return by the end of the night."
The woman sighed. "The girl Sire?" She was refering to me. "Is mine." Godric growled at the male vampire that was approaching me. The tall black hair man i had thrown from Emi. "Oh... Explains a lot."
"It is nice to meet you, I assume you are Faelyn Stackhouse." I stiffened at her knowledge of my name. "Yes." She nodded. "Strange powers Miss Stackhouse. Be careful so openly displaying them." I glared at her. "I will protect what is important to me the only way i can. Do not give me words of caution like i am some insolent child." She nodded slightly. "Spirit. Many would enjoy crushing it." She told Godric. "I'm aware." He said, standing in front of me in a split second.
"Richard. See to it that Miss Stackhouse and the child have a room prepared at the estates." He nodded and took off to do so. I assumed Amelia must have been Compton's right hand. "I will not bring them there." Godric growled. "It is simply as a just in case Sire." She bowed before she walked away. Aiden who had been silent the entire time growled then.
"Damn it all to hell!" Aiden snarled, slamming his fist against the tree. "Calm down, what's done is done. I'll deal with it like i normally do." He growled again. "No Faelyn, you won't be dealing with any of this. You, Aiden, and Emilie will reside else where. I will keep you protected." I shook my head and moved to stand in front of him, keeping Emilie by side. I touched Godric's cheek. "You can't protect me forever. I will have to face the world eventually." He held my hand to his cheek.
"My world isn't a safe place Faelyn." His eyes shone with how serious he was. "I know." He sighed. "Your not going to let this go are you?" I smiled at him. "No i'm not, I'm sick of hiding and feeling useless. It's why i ran. Please don't make me feel like that." He pulled my hand down in his, keeping it in his hold. "Alright... but the first sign that it's to much for you and i will move you from the estates to someplace safe." I nodded.
"Might as well get going then. We have a long walk ahead of us." Aiden said. "...Do we even know which direction?" I asked. Godric motioned behind us and smiled. "Oh right." I laughed and Aiden was laughing at me. "Fae i'm tired." Emi said rubbing her eyes. "Do you trust me?" Godric asked her. After a moment she nodded and he picked her up. Within moments she was sleeping in his arms.
"She likes you." I smiled at him. "Not many children do, as a predator i scare a lot of them by simply being around." I rolled my eyes at Godric. "Predator my ass." I muttered and walked off. Yeah sure he could be one but he had no interest in being one anymore, he was more like a pasifist now. I could his gaze on me as i kept walking. Could hear him and Aiden following. "Faelyn, I am what i am and that will not change."
I spun around and looked at him. "A predator would not have a human, would not be carefully holding a child in his arms. Would not care what happened, he would simply kill and enjoy it. You do not kill for joy and you are capable of feeling. You are not a predator, you can be but your not. Your just Godric." I shrugged and looked over my shoulder. "Your a good guy Godric, no matter what you think."
It didn't take as long as i thought it would to get home. Godric was standing protectively in front of Emilie, so was Aiden for that matter. "HOW DARE YOU!" Eric roared at me. I stood there, unmoving as he towered over me a mere two feet away. To be honest i was very afraid but was i gonna admit it? No.
"Eric calm down, i'm sure she has a good reason." Sookie tried to calm him, tears running down her cheeks. It was at that moment that i lowered my head. "No... I was being selfish when i ran..." I whispered. "I felt useless... I didn't want people protecting me or struggling not to eat me... Dad... He doesn't even like me... I'm a failure and i thought if i left you all wouldn't have to worry about me anymore... I-I'm sorry. I didn't think of how much this would affect Sookie... anyone."
"I'm sorry we made you feel this way Faelyn but you have to understand, it is dangerous out there. There is a reason Godric has kept you hidden." Sookie hugged me and just happened to place her hands on the wounds on my back. I yelped and jumped back. She looked shocked for a minute before a look of reconition flashed across her face and she yanked up my shirt, pulling me towards her and turning me around. I heard her gasp and then Eric shoved me away.
I stumbled before getting my footing trying not to cry out when i saw that Eric was restraining Sookie. "Who did that!" She demanded, staring at me. She was pissed. Instictively i stood in front of Godric and Emilie. "Doesn't matter she's dead now so you can't doing anything to her Sook." She calmed a little. "Did you kill her?" She asked. I shook my head and she nodded understanding that it was Godric who made the kill.
"Next question... Who's the brat?" Pam asked, actually deciding to speak up. "She's mine." I said before i realized the implications. "I'm going to raise her and take care of her, she deserves someone who will with everything that happened to her." Pam smirked. "So little Faelyn is going to play mommy, can't wait to see this... and who's playing daddy? The werewolf?"
"No i'm not, I'm playing big brother if anyone plays daddy it would be Godric since Faelyn belongs to him and she took the child as her own." Aiden snapped at Pam. "Watch your mouth before i rip out your tongue mutt." I gave Pam a icy cold glare that she returned with her own. "You will not harm Aiden, none of you will and Emilie is off limits as well." I settled Pam, Eric, and Sookie with a stern look.
"I'm just glad their safe... even if i don't truely think a child should be taking responsiblty for a child." Sookie said quietly, obviously hoping i didn't hear her. "and you want me to do what? Let you take responsiblity for her?" I growled at her. "You will lose control and kill her in the first week, your not old enough to resist yet and you know it. Your only in control now cause of Eric." Eric stood in front of her as if to protect her from my words and growled at me. "She is your family." He snapped.
"I don't know if i even know the meaning of that word... My own father hates me now and blames me for what happened to my mother. My aunt... Is lost and won't be back for god knows how long. What family Eric? Any blood relatives are gone, pushing me away, or they've been turned. All i have is you guys and the only one that is truely there for me is Godric. Some uncle you are, you only come to see me when you need something from me."
Godric said nothing the entire time till right now when he looked at Eric. "I am removing Faelyn from your protection, the vampires already know of Faelyn. I will be taking Fae, Aiden, and Emilie with me. It has become obvious to me that i should have done this from the beginning." I looked at Godric at the same time that Eric spoke.
"After all this drama over Faelyn you so easily told them of her exsistance?" Eric was smart enough not to growl at Godric but the damage had been done and i could feel the anger coming off Godric at Eric's question. Quickly i pulled Emilie away from him and backed up to the door. "I do not have to explain myself to you Eric. Perhaps i have spoiled you to much. What i do with my affairs is up to me, do not question me next time you will not like the answer or punishment. You have one chance, do not repeat this mistake." Godric growled at Eric.
The Viking was smart enough to keep his mouth shut after that one... I knew this wasn't over though, I had just said some pretty hurtful things because of my anger... yea Eric would be after me again soon and wanting me to fix things with Sookie.
