A/N: Hi everyone! I'm finally back! I hope you all enjoy this chapter and I really look forward to being able to post this again. It's a bit of a process at the moment as I still don't have a functioning laptop of my own. So I am writing them out by hand and typing them up in google documents where ever I can get access to a computer for long enough to work on it. So I can't promise swift or consistent updates, but there will be updates! Please let me know what you think of this chapter!

Godric woke up slowly, I felt him shift slightly and his arms tightened around my waist. "Good evening, Godric" I hummed into his shoulder.

Godric rumbled in response, pulling me as close as he could. "Have you been awake long?" he questioned, running his nose lightly along my shoulder.

I shrugged, it had been a couple of hours "I watched some television with Evan while I waited for you to wake up."

Godric nodded against my skin and replaced his nose with his lips. He nipped gently at the skin, moving up my neck and across my jaw. I pulled him up to kiss him and sighed at the feeling of his lips on mine. His hands trailed up and down my back, finding their way under my shirt. I arched my back and wound my leg around his hips. His arousal pressed against me and Godric groaned. I rolled us so I hovered over him, legs on either side of his hips, hovering just above him. My hair fell like a curtain around us and I impatiently flipped it over my shoulders. Godric drew me down to mouth at my neck, his hands caressing my sides. I dragged my hands down the exposed skin of his chest and across his stomach, feeling his muscles twitch under my fingertips. I ground against his hips and Godric growled, bucking up against me. I felt his fangs scrape across the sensitive skin of my neck and felt myself tilting my head to expose more to him. Godric had never bit me before and although I had been surrounded by vampires since working at Fangtasia, the only experience I had had with being bitten had been from the vampire that had attacked me in the alley. Just thinking about the incident made me anxious.

Godric moved to kiss me again and I curiously let my tongue brush against his lips. I had caught glimpses of his fangs before and they had a hypnotizing effect on me. He opened his mouth to me and I ran my tongue down his fangs.

Godric darted back, staring at me with wide eyes clouded with lust. The hungry look he was giving me sent a shiver down my spine and I whimpered softly.

"You shouldn't do that Alyssa" Godric warned, his voice thick and gravelly.

My eyebrows came together in confusion and I bit my lip hesitantly. Godric's eyes dropped to my mouth and he subconsciously licked his own. "What did I do wrong?" I questioned.

Godric shook his head slowly "a vampire's fangs are very sensitive. I am trying very hard not to lose control but if you keep doing that, I fear it will be all but impossible," he groaned.

The temptation to immediately do exactly that was hard to resist. Instead I nodded solemnly to show I understood and dipped my head down to press kisses along his jaw. I worked my way down to his neck and bit at the skin under his jaw. Godric let out a low growl and tangled his hand into my hair. I thought for a moment that I had done something wrong but he didn't pull away or stop me. So I alternated between kissing and biting at his neck and Godric ground his hips into mine slowly.

I suddenly found myself pressed into the mattress, Godric poised between my legs urging my shirt over my head. Godric swore under his breath at the sight of my bare breasts and his hands cupped them gently. The pads of his thumbs ran over my nipples and I arched into his touch. Godric bent down and replaced one hand with his mouth. I gasped and threaded my hand through his hair in an attempt to stop him from moving away. His tongue swirled around my nipple and his teeth grazed over them. I bit back a moan as his thumb mimicked his movements on my other breast.

After a moment his mouth left my breasts and he kissed his way across my ribs and stomach. He pressed a kiss into stomach and nipped at my hip bone.

A knock at the door shook me out of a lust filled daze and I huffed disappointedly. Godric growled unhappily and dropped his head to nuzzle into my stomach.

"Go away Eric" Godric ordered roughly.

There was a moment of hesitation from the viking on the other side of the door. "Godric, we need to prepare in case they come tonight."

Godric wound his arms underneath me and shook his head stubbornly. I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped at the sight of him. I ran my hands gently through his hair and sighed. After a moment Godric spoke "very well, I will be down in a moment."

He looked up at me and narrowed his eyes "I am not finished with you," he warned me.

A smile worked it's way onto my face and I nodded "I'm not going anywhere," I promised him. Godric gave me a final, lingering kiss before he pulled himself out of bed. He dressed quickly in his usual loose shirt and pants before walking out of the room.

I blew a breath out in a huff and pushed my hands through my hair. Eric just had to interrupt us. I rolled out of bed with a groan, there was no way I was going to let those two plot without my help. I threw my hair into a messy bun and fished a pair of jeans and a light green button up shirt out of my bag.

As I got dressed I tried to think over what had happened, what could have happened with Godric. If we hadn't been interrupted then there was a very good chance I would have had sex with him. But I wasn't sure where we stood. Casual sex was not a foreign concept to me, especially since I often didn't have time to have a steady relationship with anyone. But I knew that wasn't what I wanted with Godric. I cared for him too much to just sleep with him from time to time without knowing if he was sleeping with other women or not. Was that what Godric wanted? Just to bed me and then move on with his life? Vampires weren't exactly known for their monogamy. I wondered if Godric was even willing to be in an exclusive relationship with me. Was that even something vampires did? And if he was, what about feeding? I supposed he could just drink bagged and synthetic blood, I had never seen him take anyone at Fangtasia out to feed. But if we were having sex, would he want to feed from me as well? I hadn't decided how I felt about that yet.

I knew immediately that I did not like the idea of him finding some fangbanger to feed off of, especially since blood and sex often mixed together for vampires. A wave of possessiveness and jealousy shot through me and I scowled down at my feet.

Maybe, I thought, I needed to talk to Godric about it. But first things first. We needed to settle this business with the vampires.

I found the three vampires around the dining room table and was surprised to see Sookie sitting beside Eric. She smiled at me in greeting when she saw me.

I realized I hadn't even considered that Sookie could be in danger as well and felt instantly bad. If I hadn't been so concerned with Evan and I being safe, I might have thought of the blond.

"Hello Sookie" I hummed, sitting in an empty seat beside Godric.

"Wonderful. Why don't you get Evan too, so we can get her opinion?" Pam drawled sarcastically.

I was tempted to do just that, if only just to irritate her further. But I knew Evan wanted as little involvement as she could. As much as my sister appreciated the time off of work, and everything the vampires were doing to keep us safe, she had no interest in becoming deeper entangled in their world.

So I shrugged Pam off and concentrated on the other two vampires at the table. "So what's the plan then?"

Eric rolled his eyes, "I will consult the vampires in my area to find out where he and his nest are spending their days. When we find their nest, we can finish this once and for all."

"what if they've got friends in this area that are willing to lie to you and draw you into a trap?" I questioned.

"Or draw the three of you out so they can get to us" Sookie added.

Godric shook his head "I will be putting word out as well. Everything Eric is told will be checked before we make any moves."

They seemed to think that was the end of the discussion as the three vampires began listing off all their contacts that they could call in, debating whether Godric should call some vampires down from Dallas to help or not. I made eye contact with Sookie and tried to communicate how fed up I was with them. Sookie seemed to understand as she widened her eyes at me and puffed out her cheeks in exasperation.

"I have an idea" I stated, cutting Pam off mid-sentence.

"Oh please, do share," Eric grunted.

I narrowed my eyes at him agitatedly "why don't Sookie and I go out during the day and see if we can find them. They've got to be feeding on someone right? So we could hang out in places that are popular with that crowd or if you get an area they might be in, we could go around there and see if Sookie can hear anyone's thoughts. That way you would know for sure where they were and they wouldn't know you were coming."

They hardly even hesitated before shooting my idea down. "It would be too dangerous" Godric argued.

Eric nodded, a scowl on his face, "There's no way we're letting the two of you out unprotected, let alone in the area we think their nest would be."

"I can protect us, at least from any human that might be there. And it would be the middle of the day so they wouldn't be able to get to us" I argued.

"She's right, we have the element of surprise. They don't know what Alyssa and I can do. They wouldn't be prepared for it," Sookie added.

I sent her a thankful smile, glad she agreed with me. I hadn't thought Sookie would be the type to want to just sit back and let someone else handle a problem.

But the vampires still wouldn't go for it. "It's too risky. They know we are looking for them, they will have their nest guarded and if they see you two wandering by...it'd be too easy," Eric huffed

I scowled at the viking, "I can handle a couple of people Eric. We'd be ok."

"I could call Alcide, if that would make you feel better" Sookie offered, and judging by the expression on her face, she didn't think Eric would agree.

Eric curled his lip at her "I do not need a Were to protect you."

"Who's Alcide?" I questioned, raising my eyebrow at Sookie.

Sookie rolled her eyes at the blond beside her, "he's a werewolf that helped us a little while ago. He protected me then for you, he could do it now. I'm sure he would."

Eric glared at her "he only agreed then because he owed me a debt."

"Don't you guys want this to be over with as soon as possible? The way I see it you can sit here making calls hoping you'll find them, meanwhile they'll know if you're getting close. They could keep moving or draw you into a trap. Or you can get this Alcide guy to keep an eye on us while we find them and possibly know where they are in a night or two" I insisted.

Godric gave me a considering look "if we deny this, will you attempt to do this anyway?"

My eyes widened in surprise. I hadn't gotten to the point of considering it yet, but when I thought about it, I knew instantly that I would do just that. As soon as they were dead for the day, I would have woken Sookie up and we would have been gone before noon.

I considered lying to him, worried that if I told him the truth he would try to lock us into the house in the interest of keeping us safe. But I didn't think Godric would try to do that to us. Besides, I was fairly confident I would be able to escape if that was the case.

So I decided to be honest "yes, the minute the sun came up."

Eric slammed his fist on the table "you're going to get yourself killed. And if not, you'll get us killed trying to save you."

Godric raised a hand to him in a calming gesture. "Call this werewolf. I do not like the idea of asking their kind for assistance any more than you, Eric. But it is the best way to ensure their safety if they are determined to do this." Godric turned his gaze on me, "one day, that is all you have. If it doesn't work, you will let us handle this without further complaint. If you do find them, you will not make contact. You will return to this nest immediately. Do you understand?" Godric clarified.

I glanced at Sookie before answering. She would be doing the brunt of the work, being the telepath. So I couldn't force her into it. I did have a pretty good idea where to look for the people they were probably feeding on though, I had picked up lots of information from working at Fangtasia.

She gave me a smile and nodded "That sounds fair to me."

"One day is all we need" I assured him.

Eric threw his hands up in frustration and pushed himself away from the table. He stormed out of the room, muttering under his breath in another language. I hoped he planned on calling Alcide while he was out there, I wanted to have everything settled as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Godric, for giving us a chance" I thanked him, placing my hand on his.

Godric regarded me softly for a moment before answering "I don't think I had much of a choice. But all the same, I hope this plan works as well as you think it will."

The vampires lack of faith in Sookie and I was disheartening. But I forced myself to push it aside. I had faith in us and that was what mattered.

Eric came back into the room several tense minutes later, a cross look on his face. "Alcide will meet you both at Fangtasia tomorrow at noon. You will take my car there, then you will join Alcide in his. You will not tell him where this nest is, nor any details of what you are looking for. He is to accompany you where ever you deem necessary. I have also instructed him to make sure you are brought back to your car three hours before sundown and if you are not here two and a half hours before sundown, I will hunt him down and hold him personally accountable. So unless you want to see him in several more conveniently sized chunks, you will make sure you are here on time. Understood?" Eric snapped, glaring at the two of us.

Sookie scowled back, angered by his irritation. I didn't know how she managed to be utterly un-intimidated by him. Even if he was just a human, he towered over us and the menacing look on his face only added to the image. I on the other hand, shrunk back in my seat slightly. I wasn't afraid of Eric per say and even if I was, I knew Godric wouldn't let him hurt me. But it was like an instinct to be wary of him when he seemed so angered.

I shook him off and reminded myself of what he was saying. The plan was set. We would be able to do what we could to help. I just hoped we were as successful as I was trying to make the others believe we would be.
