Read and let me know what you think.
Chapter 34 Destiny and Divinity
Pam's Point of View
"Yes Oklahoma, tell me more of your plans to usurp my kingdom. I am sure the magister would love to hear about it. He is due for our meeting shortly." Freyda flinches at this.
"I was not saying that I would be Queen here. I just meant that when Northman is my consort his child with be mine to command."
"You really are stupid aren't you? My maker will never be your consort. You have nothing to offer him. He has all the power and money he could ever want."
"But you don't get it do you? I need him. He will make my queendom strong. He will love me and the world will bow to us." I have seen some crazy fuckers that were turned but she is really taking the cake.
"Enough of this." Thalia throws the were witch to the ground rendering her unconscious. She then grabs Freyda by the head and rips it from her body. Her body turns to goo instantly. The room goes silent before all of the humans run from the club.
"Was that really necessary?" I ask.
"Yes." A hint of a smile moves across her face.
"My, my we seem to be having a hard time keeping monarchs. Davis are you intending to take over the entire south?" the magister asks from the door.
"No this one was not my doing." Davis looks to Thalia.
"I will attend to the paper work tonight. Congratulations Thalia Queen of Oklahoma." The magister inclines his head. "Now Davis can we get to the business at hand. I am needed in the Northwest tomorrow night. I would like to leave before sunrise." Davis and the Magister walk off to the back of the club.
"I guess we are closing early tonight. Clancy clean this up." I stoop and pick up the unconscious were. And I thought things would calm down without our danger magnet. I head back to Eric's office and push the door open. Eric looks pissed and flaccid.
"You are just slobbering on it. Get up and out. I don't want to see you here again. You will not remember this and you have no desire to come back." Eric heaves the breather from the floor glamoring her.
"I see your evening is turning out to flat." I try to hold in my giggle.
"Piss off Pamela. I am going home, I expect you not to be there when I wake." Why is he taking this out on me? Now what am I going to do with this. I take her down stairs and chain her up. I will let him cool off. Maybe by tomorrow he will feel less down. I laugh to myself as I leave.
Godric's Point of View
I come to in a brightly lit field. Flowers and grass surround me. I hiss expecting to be burnt, but I am not. What is going on?
"To answer your question you are in another realm. The light cannot harm you. We brought you here to change your destiny." I look to who is talking. I see Adele, my Maker and an unknown man. The light around him is blinding. I cannot focus my sight on him. I wonder who, he could possibly be. Adele turns to the others and nods her head. She vanishes from the field. I suppose her work was done.
"You say you are going to change my destiny, how?" I ask cautiously.
"My child we are going to give you a gift. You said you were willing to give up everything for her and now is your chance to prove it. We are giving you a choice. It will mean that you will have to give up everything in order to save her."
"I will do anything. We need her back, I need her back, life is not worth living if she is not in it. What will you have me do?" A simple question with complex answer.
"Give up your darkness, for a life in the light." What does she mean by this? I must be talking out loud.
"We can work magic that will make you divine. You will be able to go into the realm and claim them back. You will no longer be vampire, you will not hide from the sun and you will live. For how long will be up to you. If you do this, there is no going back. You cannot be made vampire again." Was there truly magic capable of such a feat? I had longed to be human once more but this, could I give up my child? Did I want to be divine?
"How does it work? I want to know what you will do, before I say yes."
"I think I will let our guest explain." Pythia says looking to the shining man.
"Godric tell me what you know of the gods of old." His voice stirs something in my chest. I can feel the power as he speaks.
"The world once prayed to many gods. Ones that controlled the heavens, earth and everything in between. They created the earth with all of its plants and animals. They created man. From a divine thought all things were made. All things human and supernatural. They nurtured and helped mold the world into what it is now."
"Do you remember the names of your gods? Do you still pray to them?"
"I do know the names but I fear they turned their back on me long ago."
"We did not. We were only waiting for you to call to us once more."
"Who are you?"
"Has it truly been so long you have forgotten? I am the bright one, the healer, sun god Belenus." As he says this I know it to be true. I drop my head and body to the ground before him. He chuckles. "Rise Godric I know your heart to be true. I want to give you this gift. You will become my child. My light will be within you and you will be a god. You will be able to heal and share your light. You will be able to reclaim your love and the child."
"What of Eric? What will this do to him while he is in his current state?"
"I promise you he will be fine. He will feel your bond break but he will make it through. I will go to him as soon as I can." Pythia promises me. I think this is one of the first times she has spoken in plain words.
I turn my attention back to Belenus. "Why would you do this for me? Why not get Sookie and Hunter yourself?"
"Because this is your new destiny. You were meant for so much. Now do you accept this gift or will you wait in hopes the faery lets her go?"
"I will do this." With my words he places his hands on my face. I am engulfed in light. Every cell in my body burns. I feel my bonds to Eric, Sookie and Pythia burn out. It feels like an eternity before the light starts to fade. I can feel my heart beating and the blood in my veins pumping once more. He kisses me on the forehead. With his kiss I know what to do and just how to go about it. "Thank you both."
"Use this well Godric son of light." Pythia says with a smirk. They both are gone from the field and a portal opens right in front of me. I changed my destiny, now I will change their fate. I will get them both back and I will fix Eric. I look at the archway. It is covered in ruins. I recognize some of them as marks of strength, love, warrior, and destiny. The center of the arch erupts in light. I am coming for you Sookie.
Eric's Point of View
As I am going to my day rest I feel Godric's emotions spike and then fade to nothing. I can't feel him at all. "NO!" he can't be gone. I feel bloody tears streaming down my face as the sun takes me.
Sookie's Point of View
I don't understand. I know who I am, don't I? I know I have a brother. But when I try I can't picture his face. I can't hear his voice. What is happening to me? What else am I forgetting? Is Preston right am I forgetting who I am? No, that can't be right. Something in my chest snaps, like a rubber band that was stretched too far. I feel like something was ripped from me. Something I would not want to lose. I do not understand. I crumble to the ground and the world starts to shake. A burst of energy comes from my chest shooting into the sky. I can hear Preston's worried voice as I black out from the pain.
Claude's Point of View
I know that she is forgetting things and it breaks my heart. I have taught her all that I can. Now I just need to convince Grandfather to let her go home. I walk to his study, he is smiling.
"Come in Claude today is a wonderful day. Sookie is almost ready. We will be having a wedding soon."
"Grandfather, Preston has expressed interests in seeing her home on earth. I think it would be good for them to spend some time on earth in her home before she forgets it as well."
"I have no intention of sending her home. Maybe once they are married they can spend some time there." I am about to say something else when an unearthly scream breaks through the air. We both look to the window. A figure is on the ground and there is a light shooting from them into the air. It takes me a minute to realize who it is. Sookie. We both run from the palace and reach her just as the light starts to dim. Preston is on the ground next to her.
"I don't know what happened. We were talking and then she dropped to the ground."
"What were you talking about?" Niall asks.
"We were talking about her life here and how it was different from her home."
"You fool this is her home. I will hear nothing more of her leaving. All of that work for nothing. Claude, take her to the waters. You come with me." He orders and walks back the palace. What have you done Grandfather? Hunter sprints out of the palace followed closely Sookie's ladies maids. I hear Hunter's voice in my head.
"Mr. Claude is Mama Sookie going to me ok? Make her better."
"I will do everything I can for her Hunter." I answer him meaning every word.
I do the only thing I can. I pick her up and carry her to the waters. Hunter refuses to leave her side once more. Oh Sookie, what am I going to do with you? I do as I did last time I wade into to the water, holding her on the surface and wait. I have half a mind to take her home as soon as she is healed. I can't doom her to heart break in this realm. As my thought race my mind an arch appears on the shore. What is this? No one can open new portals. I shield Sookie from the unknown danger. Hunter stands and walks toward the portal.
"Hunter stop don't touch it. Stay back." I order. Hunter freezes. I hold my breath as a figure walks through the light. I can't believe my eyes. How is he here?
"Mr. Godric you came." Hunter says aloud in wonder running to him.
"I did." He smiles.
