Chapter 8 Flames of Desire

Godric's Point of View

My phone goes off just as I am about to explain things to our little pricess. I excuse my self and answer it in the other room.

"Yes" I answer.

"Godric we have a situation. Farrel has gone missing. We have tried to locate him but he is nowhere to be found." Isabel informs me.

"Do you have any leads at all?" I ask.

"No but I fear he may have been taken by the Fellowship of the Sun." Her voice shakes.

"I need to finish what I am doing here at the moment but I will call later tonight. I may have someone who can help with this situation." I say before I hang up. Maybe Sookie will be willing to help with this I think as I renter the living room.

Bill's Point of View

What the hell are those two doing with a stranger at my Sookie's house? Normally if Eric wants something of her he sends one of his underlings or calls. I need to get closer. After having been chased away by their growls the first time I am more cautious in approaching the house. The strange man has left but he has left behind a delicious aroma. It is like Sookie but on steroids. Why did they bring a fairy to her house? I creep up towards the house. I stand in the front yard just below the living room window. I could easily hear their conversation through the open window.

"It is I trust you." Of course she fucking trusts them they have her so blinded to the truth.

"Little one what I said earlier about taking our blood I would like it if we started a bound. It would make it so that others would know that you are ours. It would take three mutual exchanges before it became permanent." I have to stop myself from growling. No one will be bonding with her except for me.

"If we start a bond do we have to do three?" Good it sounds like she has doubts about this now if only I could get them out of her house.

"No we would not have to but I would hope that you would want to in the future." He adds. "It would also fade with time if we did not." I can't let this happen, come on think. A fire would smoke them out. I take off at vamp speed to the other side of the house. Sookie's tool shed is open and a can of lighter fluid is sitting next to other grilling equipment. I snatch the lighter fluid and the box of matches from the shelf. I rummage and find some old newspapers and make my way to the back door. I douse the back door with lighter fluid along with the newspapers. Then from a distance I lite a match and toss it. It ignites quickly and spreads to the door. I take off back to my own house across the cemetery. This will work they will be too busy dealing with the fire to try and start the bond.

Eric's Point of View

For the two years that I have known Sookie all I have ever wanted to do was to make her mine. I had not expected that I would have to share her or that it would only come about because she needed protection. The fact still remains that she is mine, finally. I even bought a house in this back water town so that I could be closer to her. I will now have an excuse to use it more. "Sookie the easiest way would be for us to…" I pause and sniff the air. Smoke is coming from the kitchen. "We need to get out now your house is on fire." I say as I lift her from the sofa and speed out the front door. Godric is right behind me.

"Wait my letter from Gran! Please it is in the desk." She cries.

"Sookie stay here and call the fire department." Godric commands handing her his phone before returning to the house. I rush to the other side of the house the back door and most of the rear porch are engulfed in flames. Her small pile of metal junk she calls a car is also on fire. I see a can of lighter fluid and box of matches on the ground near the back passenger door. Someone intentionally set this fire and from the smell of it I know who. I make way back to where we left Sookie when I hear sirens in the distance. Sookie is crying silently standing next to Godric who returned with her letters and purse. The flames had started to reach the roof making it possible to see from the front yard. Two fire engines, a police cruiser, and an ambulance hurtle up the drive. Several men poor from the vehicles to subdue the blaze, one stops to talk to Sookie.

"Sookie do you have a propane tank?" The man asks.

"Yeah it is round back, along with my car." She replies in a soft sorrowful voice. The man rushes off to inform the other men but we hear a great blast and lots of swearing. I instantly shield Sookie. She is trembling in my arms. I feel helpless as I watch Sookie's home burn.

Sookie's Point of View

Why does shit like this happen to me? I mean seriously is this crap filled day ever going to end. I watch as Catfish and the rest of the volunteer fire department try to subdue the flames destroying my house. Eric jumps to protect me when what I can only assume is either my car or the tank explode in the back yard. Flames shoot up into the air lighting the night sky. I sink into Eric's embrace as my tears increase. It seems like hours have gone by before Catfish comes back to talk to me.

"Sookie we have it mostly out. You will need to call your insurance agent to come out and take a look. Do you have somewhere to stay for the rest of the night?" He asks looking at both Eric and Godric.

"She will be coming with us." Eric says before I can get a word in edge wise. Catfish looks to me to make sure and I just nod. "Sookie do you want us to call the insurance company for you?" Eric asks in a soothing tone.

"No I can do it." I say digging my phone out of my purse along with my address book. I am thankful that Godric had the forethought to retrieve it as well as his books. I don't know what I would have done if they had been lost. How do you replace something like that? Andy comes over as I finish up my call.

"Ms. Stackhouse can you tell me what happened this evening?" He questions as if he has not known me all of my life.

"We were in the living room talking when Eric smelled smoke. He picked me up and ran me out here. Godric grabbed my purse from the house and told me to call 911." I answer truthfully. I can tell that he does not believe a word I am saying. He thinks that we set the house on fire purposefully.

"Do you know how the fire was started?" He probes hoping to catch me in a lie.

"No like I said we were talking and then there was smoke." I reply. Over my shoulder Eric catches Andy's attention and starts to glamor him.

"You know that Sookie did not start the fire. You have found evidence that it was set by someone else. You are positive that it is her neighbor Bill Compton. From this day forward you will never think or speak badly of Sookie Stackhouse." He finishes releasing him. I gasp when I hear Eric say Bill's name. Why would he torch my house? Andy stands there dazed for a second and then smiles at me.

"Sookie I am real sorry about your house. I have found evidence that is was arson but I think I know who did it. Try to get some sleep." He says before walking off.

"You didn't have to do that." I turn to look up at Eric.

"No but now that I have things will work out better. Besides I didn't like the way he was talking to you." He smirks down at me.

"You can't glamor everyone in the world that doesn't like me." I chastise him.

"You are right that would take far too long." His eyes twinkle with mirth. I just shake my head. I am far more tired than I thought I was when I catch myself yawning. Godric and Eric notice too.

"Little one I think it would be wise to take you to Eric's so you can sleep. You will have many things to do in the morning." I know that he was right. I didn't want to think about everything that I would need to do the next day. I let them lead me over to Eric's cheery red corvette. I stop and giggle. "What is so funny little one?"

"Um where am I going to sit?" I ask the obvious. Eric's prize possession is a two seater.

"I had not thought about that I suppose you will have to sit on my lap." He smiles at me as he opens the passenger door. Godric sits down quickly and places me on his lap buckling us both in with the seat belt. I notice Eric grumble taking his place behind the wheel. I doze off during the drive but wake up to a site that takes my breath away. He pulls up to an old Greek revival that is much like Caroline Bellefluer's stately home. It seems to be situated in a gated community with several other large houses. The yard around the place makes me think that this one was here long before the rest were developed. I am surprised that Eric would choose a house like this. I had always thought that his tastes were more on the modern side.

"This is really beautiful Eric." I say as he pulls to a stop in a huge garage next to another shiny sports car and his SUV. I also see a motor cycle at the back.

"Thank you it is one of my favorites." He smiles at me as we walk up to a door in the garage that leads into the house. He enters a code into the door and we walk in. I suppose that this house was more modern than it appeared. "Sookie I will write down the code for you so you can come and go tomorrow. Bobby will be here in the morning to help you with anything that you need." He says as he leads me further into the house. I have to suppress a yawn when he stops outside of a large bedroom. It is decorated beautifully in dark blues and creams. There is a large four poster bed in the center of the room made of oak. On the other side of the room are two doors. "You can sleep in here. There is clothing in the closet and towels in the bathroom. If you need anything let us know." They turn to leave.

"Wait I think we should start the bond. I mean if nothing else tonight has shown me that I am going to need all the protection I can get." I say looking to both of them.

"Are you still sure little one? We don't have to do it tonight." Godric responds.

"I am positive." I reply as firmly as I can. He comes forward and leads me to the bed. He sits at the head board and pulls me to sit next to him. Eric sandwiches me in between them.

"Little one you are going to be drinking from both of us while we drink from you." Godric puts a finger under my chin turning me to look at him. "I am going to bite into my wrist and when I do I want to drink quickly before the wound closes. You will do the same with Eric." He instructs before biting into his arm. He offers it to me and I latch on quickly. I had not expected his blood to taste so good. I let out a small moan in delight. I am so distracted by what I am doing that I miss when they bite me. It feels amazing and I become excited. I hear a combination growl moan from the two of them. When the wound on Godric's wrist closes he removes it from my mouth and Eric replaces it with his own. Eric taste just as wonderful as Godric did. Where Godric's blood reminded me of dark chocolate, Eric's tastes like honey. I am panting heavily when they finish licking the bite marks on my neck closed.

"You are even more magnificent then I thought you would be Lover." Eric coos kissing where his bite mark was. I let out a sigh that turns into a yawn.

"Little one you need to rest. We will see you tomorrow night." Godric says making to get up from the bed.

"Would you stay? I would like it if you would. At least till I fall asleep please." I beg I am becoming more attached to these two the longer I am with them.

"We can go take a shower and wash off the smoke we will be here when you return." He smiles at me. I nod and hurry off to the bathroom to wash up. I take a longer than necessary show. Siting on the counter are a silky nightgown and robe along with two fluffy white towels. I dry off and dress taking a brush with me. When I return to the bedroom they have washed as well and are dressed in sleeping pants.

"Lover let me do that for you." Eric offers taking the brush from my hand. He helps me to sit down on the bed in front of him. He quickly yet softly untangles my hair before braiding it into an intricate design. I am extremely relaxed when he finishes placing the brush on the bedside table.

"Thank you." I say curling up under the covers. They each give me a kiss and settle down next to me as I fall asleep.
