Chapter 16…playing them both
A/N…back to back updates coming soon, review!
"danalynne what do you think?" he asked me and I looked at Isabelle and hugo. I could see Isabelle was asking for forgiveness but hugo looked scared because he knew I hated him.
"why did you do it?" I asked hugo and he looked up briefly at me and then looked back down "I wanted Isabelle to change me but she refused" hugo said and I frowned at him.
"then why didn't you just go to another vampire so that they could change you and then return to her?" I asked him harshly as I remembered it was because of him I was tortured.
"I wanted her to be my maker" hugo said and then bowed his head again knowing he wasn't going to get out of this alive.
"I suggest you beg for forgiveness from Isabelle, because you do not deserve someone like her. I would like for you to live, to feel the pain of loss. Knowing you are the reason you lost her" I said to him and looked towards godric and his eyes searched mine.
After a few seconds he turned towards Isabelle "you are free to go" godric said and Isabelle looked at godric with shock written all over her face.
"what?" stan growled out and glared at me. "the human is free to go, and do not return. I fear it is not safe for you here" godric said and hugo nodded and looked at me with gratitude.
"this is a travesty" stan said and picked his hat up ready to leave. "this is my verdict. Eric escort them out. make sure the human leaves unharmed" godric said and his eyes snapped to stan on the last bit of the sentence.
"yes godric" eric said and my head snapped to him because I didn't even realise he was here looking at everything. "thank you, thank you sheriff" Isabelle rushed out as the three of them walked out of the house.
Everyone went on with their own business and I looked at godric "why did you want my help?" I asked him and he smiled fondly at me.
"because I knew you would make the right decision and you did" godric said and laid a single kiss on my forehead.
I laid my head down on his shoulder and cuddled into him "I told him to drive until he's past the Mexican border." Eric said and godric nodded at him. Eric then kneeled by godric's feet "I ordered an AB- human for you, extremely rare" eric said and my brows pulled together in a frown. If godric needed blood I would gladly give him some.
"thank you but I am not hungry" godric said and I could see eric was slightly worried.
"you have to feed eventually, I doubt the fellowship of the sun had anything to offer" eric said but godric didn't answer he only stared forward.
"why wouldn't you leave when I first came for you?" eric asked him and I wanted to know the same thing.
"they didn't treat me badly, you'd be shocked how ordinary most of them are" godric said and I was about to argue but eric cut me to it. "they do nothing but flame the hatred for us" he said and I nodded at godric.
"let's be honest, we are frightening. In the thousands of years we haven't evolved, we've only grown more brutally, more predatory" godric said and I couldn't help but sit up and look at him.
"you can change, you can make the vampires change" I said to him and he shook his head "we will never change" he said and I looked at eric for help.
"is that why you didn't fight when they took you?" eric asked and then it made sense.
Godric went willingly because he could have killed them all within seconds and then he proved that to me by his next sentence.
"I could have killed every one of them within a minute and what would that have proven" godric said and eric just looked at him and then after a minute he left.
"you went willingly…" I sated to him and he nodded stiffly. "come on let's go walk…" I said to him and stood up.
I held my hand out for him to take and he did. Within a second we were outside under the stars. I smiled and looked up, it was my favourite thing to do with godric.
We usually grabbed a blanket and would stay up all night watching the stars and the moon.
I sat down on the grass and godric shook his head at me "you always did love the night" godric said as he joined me on the green grass.
He laid back and I joined him, laying my head on his shoulder. If someone was looking at us they would have said we were lover but unfortunately it was only one sided. I glanced up at godric, looking fondly at him and I smiled.
I so badly wanted to kiss his lips but it made me think of godric and then I frowned. I kissed eric and I was ready to have sex with him…I think.
Did I have feelings for both of them? No I can't, it was just wrong! But when I thought of eric something pulled at me and I wanted to jump him and then I thought of godric and my heart swelled and some butterflies were in my stomach.
Godric saw me staring and he turned his head towards me and smiled when he saw I was smiling. I looked into his grey eyes and then to his lips. There were full and very pink and so very inviting.
I looked back into his eyes and thought to myself this was it or nothing. I put my hand at the back of his neck and crashed my lips onto his in a soft way.
At first he held still and I was about to pull back and apologise but his lips pressed against mine and it felt like my heart would burst.
My tongue slipped out and licked his lips trying to get into his mouth and he opened up immediately. I know godric is old but I didn't expect him to kiss this good. I turned to him and then climbed on top of him.
I was used to him wearing jeans and a shirt but with the flimsy shirt and pants he was wearing I could fully feel something under me get hard. I slipped my hands under his shirt and ran it over his back.
I kissed him deeply and then I felt a sharp pain on my lower lip I realised his fangs popped out and punctured my lower lips.
Godric's arms wrapped around me and pulled me closer to him while sucking on my lower lip. I tried to take his shirt off but he sighed and pulled away. His lips we're stained red with my blood.
"Never a dull night" godric said and I frowned but he shook his head and picked me up. We walked back into the house. Once we came into the lounge and I saw the same woman that met eric at the hotel.
But this time her hands were around sookie's throat. I was furious straight away.
"what do you think you are doing!" I yelled and grabbed her wrist. She turned her head to me and I saw her fangs. I stared at her and she was about to hit me but godric had her around the throat in and instant.
"retract your fangs now" godric said as he turned her to him but she didn't do as he said and I could see his hand gripped her more firmly. "I neither know nor care who you are, but in this area and certainly in this nest…I am the authority. Do you understand?" godric said and I felt chills run down my back because of his authority voice.
"yes sheriff…" lorena said and I could see she didn't want to submit but she did anyway. Godric let go of lorena and looked at sookie and then at me. His lips lifted up a little bit and I smiled a little back at him.
"these humans have proven themselves to be courage's and loyal to our kind. And a friend to us. Yet you treat them like a child treats a dragonfly, you pull out their wings for sport. No wonder they hate us" godric said sadly and I think my heart broke from the expression on his face.
He thought take we the humans hated them…him. But what he didn't realise was that he made a change, he didn't kill those people in the church and he let hugo go. He didn't see himself as I saw him, to me I saw a hero. Someone who was maybe someday in the past a monster but he changed.
"she provoked me…" lorena hissed and that pulled me back to the scene that was going on.
"and you provoke me…you disrupted the peace in my own home" godric said and it reminded me again that he could have kill her but he didn't.
"I could snap you like twig and I haven't. now why is that?" godric asked lorena and I thought to myself 'because you have a pure soul'. Godric's head snapped to me like he heard me and then turned back to lorena just as quickly as it turned to me.
"it is your choice" lorena said and frowned while looking at bill. And then I figured it out…lorena was bill's maker and she was jealous because bill was with sookie and not her.
I wondered if eric and godric were ever together like that but dismissed the thought right away because that would be just weird.
"indeed it is. You are an old vampire I can tell, you've had hundreds of years to better yourself yet you haven't. You're still a savage and I fear for all of us humans and vampires if this behaviour persists." Godric said to her and I shook my head because some will change and other just won't.
Godric looked at bill and bill stood stiffly waiting to see what will happen. "you see to know her" godric said to bill and bill looked at lorena and nodded.
"yes sheriff" bill said and godric looked thoughtful for a moment and then he made his decision.
"escort he from the nest" godric said to bill and bill looked at sookie to make sure she was fine. "go ahead I am fine" sookie said.
"I want you out of my area before dawn" godric said to lorena and she nodded at him. Bill grabbed lorena around the arm and led her out of the house like godric instructed.
I watched as they walked away and then turned to godric he was walking to his chair again and I followed. I was suddenly thirsty so I told godric that I would be right back.
I went to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water, and I searched for a glass but then one was in front of me.
I turned around and saw eric holding the glass out for me with a smile on his face. "thank you" I said to him and went to fill the glass with water.
"you know my blood would be much better, it has more vitamins, taste better and is just good for you" eric said and I rolled my eyes playfully.
"yeah but I don't have fangs so I don't drink blood" I said to him and he pinned me against the wall. He put his head by my neck and inhaled deeply, making me shudder. He placed a single kiss to my neck and pulled away.
"how did we get here?" I asked him and he frowned in confusion. "I mean how did we become this, we hated each other and you tortured me and now we are so lovey-dovey" I said to him and he chuckled deeply.
"I am not sure, it is just something deep inside of me pulling me towards you, I certainly don't like it but I can't stop think about you" he said and I smiled. "even though I want someone else" he added so quietly I didn't even here it.
He grabbed my chin and pressed a teasingly kiss to my lips and then he left. I bit my lower lip and walked back out and saw godric staring into space. I felt bad…I was playing with them both and I needed to stop.
I started walking to him but someone came into the room and I frowned because I knew him from somewhere.
"excuse me everyone, can I have your attention…my name is Luke McDonald" the guy said and I frowned because it sounded so familiar. I stepped towards godric and stood by his side as the guy stared at us all.
"I have a message for you from reverend Steve Newlin" he said and unzipped his jacket. On his body was a bomb…a bomb made of silver chains, silver bullets and stakes…wooden stakes.
I turned my head to godric but he was already looking at me, everything was moving in slow motion. He grabbed me and smashed me against the wall with his body covering mine. I knew he would get hurt and even maybe die. I didn't do it on purpose it was just instinct.
I grabbed him around the waist and switched us around so that I was covering him. I heard the loud boom of the bomb go off and pressed myself against godric.
