When I wake the next morning I’m surprised it’s to Sarah calling through the door that they are about to leave. Looking at the clock I realize it’s going on ten in the morning. I don’t think I’ve slept this late in years. It was almost elven when I made it back to the house last night and then I had trouble falling asleep with so much on my mind. I was surprised so much time had passed while I was in the basement with Godric. I get out of bed and grab my robe before heading downstairs to say goodbye.
“You slept late this morning”, Steve comments when I get to the bottom of the stairs.
“I think I’m coming down with a summer cold but I’ll be alright”, I lie to them.
“Are you sure that’s all. I can stay back a day or so and make sure you’re fine”, Sarah says as she places her hand to my forehead.
“I’ll be fine. I’ll just rest for a few days and I should be fine”.
“Alright, well if anything happens you have our number”, Steve says as he carries out the last of the luggage.
After saying many goodbyes and a lot of hugs mostly from Sarah I watch from the door as they pull away. Once they’re gone I rush upstairs to grab a shower and get dressed. With them gone I go into the bottom of my closet and pull out a pair of jeans and a white lace trimmed camisole along with a pair of flip flops.
After I get dressed I head down to grab some cereal. I know that since so many people know me due to my brother and father I have to find an out of the way shop to get some Tru Blood. On the way out the door I grab a white cardigan to put over the top when I got to the church later.
I drive for almost an hour to get out of Dallas and find a small store where people might not know me. I put my sunglasses on top of my head and head in. When I get to the back of the store I notice just how many options they have. I pull out my phone and look up reviews on it. It seems that O negative is the most popular so I grab three four packs of it hoping that he would take some.
I get a strange look when I get to the register but I ignore it as I pay and get out of there. When I get back to the house I take the Tru Blood up to my bedroom and hide it in the back bottom of my closet. Since it’s still a few hours until sunset I decide to try getting a nap just in case it was another late night.
As soon as I close my eyes I can see him. His eyes were so full of sadness and I just want to take all that pain away. I don’t know what it was about Godric but I just felt pulled to him. The last time I had this feeling I followed it and it saved my life. If it turned out good once I don’t see the problem with following it again. I wonder what those eyes looked like when he was happy. I can just imagine the sparkle they probably give off.
I know my family has been worried since I haven’t given them any idea on if I planned to get married or even just date. I know what I want and it’s almost the complete opposite of everyone they keep trying to throw my way; all these immature boys who were too far into the church’s message for me. I just haven’t found someone I actually like enough to take a chance with. Well, if I’m honest with myself I haven’t really been attracted to anyone. Until I saw him last night at least it really surprised me how I opened up to him so easily.
I jerk awake a little before sunset when the alarm I had set goes off. I quickly get up and grab one of the Tru Bloods and put it in my purse before heading out the door. When I get to the church there are only two cars in the parking lot. I quickly go in and head right to the chapel just in case it’s one of Steve’s lackeys. It turns out I’m right as Gabe comes walking in a few minutes later.
“You gonna be here long we were getting ready to leave”, he tells me.
“I might be here for a while I have a key to lock up if you wanna leave”, I tell him really hoping he agrees.
He looks back to the door at the chapel to see what the other guy thinks at the door. When he’s not paying attention I notice some blood on the sleeve of his shirt.
“Alright, just don’t stay too long it’s already getting late”, he says before heading back out.
I crouch down by the window so hopefully they won’t see me watching them. Once they are out I quickly walk to the basement and stop by the storage area with extra kitchen supplies and use an extra microwave to warm up the Tru blood. Once it’s warm I quickly walk down to the storage area I know he’s in.
Even though I know he’s a vampire I’m still surprised by the amount of blood splatter around the cage but Godric didn’t have a single mark on him.
“Are you alright”?
“I’m fine”, he says.
I set the bottle through the bars and sit on the floor.
He ignores the bottle but sits across from me, “I told you I didn’t need anything”.
“I think the blood splattered around here disagrees with you”.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be fine”, he tells me again.
I smile, “You sound exactly like I have for the last two months since I had to come live here. I guess it’s a good thing I took a nap this afternoon”. He just raised his eyebrow at me. “It’s gonna be a long night because I’m not leaving until you drink that”.
He just continued to sit there watching me.
“I wonder what will happen in the morning when they come back to check on you and find me down here and that Tru Blood”, I muse out loud.
“Guilt does not become you young one”, he says still ignoring the bottle.
“When I first got here after the accident I was so angry at them for making me come that I refused to even leave my bed. After about three days Steve had Gabe come pick me up out of bed and force me into an ice cold shower. I know I can’t force feed you that blood so I’m gonna go with a different method”.
We sat there in silence giving me an opportunity to look him over and for the first time in my life I was finding myself attracted to someone. I’m not entirely sure I like the feeling. It made me feel like I could open myself up to him; tell him all of my deepest fears and desires.
“How old were you when you were turned”, I ask.
“What”, he asks sounding surprised.
I smile, “We’re gonna be here all night we may as well talk about something”.
“We should talk about you then”, he replied back.
“You know about me at least a little because of my family but other than your name and that you’ve been a vampire for 2000 years I don’t know anything about you”.
“No one really knows much about my past. I’m not even sure I remember before I was turned”, he told me.
That didn’t feel right, “You’re lying to me aren’t you”, I ask.
“How could you possibly know that”?
How could I explain it to him, “It just didn’t feel right like you were telling more of a half-truth”.
He cocks his head to the side before nodding, “I prefer not to remember. I will tell you I was almost 18 when I was turned. May I ask you a question now”?
“Of course”, I respond.
“Was this feeling the same reason you came searching for me”?
I nodded as well, “After I heard my brother and sister-in-law talking it just came over me. Everything they said especially how they planned to do it just made the feeling worse”.
He finally reached over and grabbed the bottle taking a swallow and I smiled.
“Let’s make a deal? You can ask me anything you want about myself and if I answer you have to take a drink”.
“That sounds agreeable. Let’s begin easy then; how old are you”?
“16”, I tell him.
He takes another drink before continuing, “When’s your birthday”?
“December 17”.
It continued on with easy questions about myself and school and then he changed course, “Was this the first time you felt like something was wrong”?
I looked away then not wanting to remember.
“You don’t have to answer if you do not wish to. I apologize if it is hard for you”.
“No, that’s not we agreed to”, I tell him. I take a deep breath, “It was only the second time. Though I’m not sure since I feel like I’ve always had it but it was just stronger those two times”.
“What was the feeling for the other time”?
Of course he would ask that, “The day of the car accident I was supposed to be with them in the car. I just felt off and when I told my parents they decided I should stay home in case I was getting sick. Sometimes I wonder if I was supposed to keep everyone home that day. I could have saved their lives if I had fought harder”.
“You should not blame yourself for that young one. You had no way of knowing what exactly you were feeling and why”.
“Is that the pot calling the kettle black? You should take your own advice. You seem like you blame all of the destruction going on as if it were your fault”.
He looked down at the bottle and took the last drink. I could tell that it helped some his skin wasn’t as gray and it was more pale his lips slightly pinker; though I wasn’t sure if his lips had color due to the blood staining them. He also seemed more alert than he had been before.
“The vampires are almost more violent than they’ve ever been. I’m the only person keeping them from killing anyone they want and they still find ways around it. They feel like if they aren’t seen they can do what they want. I was hoping that they would evolve into something better than when they are just turned”.
“You’re older than them right”, he nods. “Have you seen any differences in them”?
“Isabel along with a few others have changed but not enough to make a difference”.
“Even if it’s just one vampire changing their ways because of you then you saved more lives than just giving up to the sun. You only save people from yourself that way but if you stay and teach those who are younger than you to learn control that’s more lives that may have been taken if you leave”.
“For someone so young you are very wise. I shall think upon what you said”, he said as he placed the empty bottle outside the bars and moved back into the cage.
I stand up and smile at him grabbing the bottle and turning to leave. However, his voice stopped me.
“Will you return tomorrow night” he asked and I wasn’t sure but he sounded hopeful.
“I plan to”, I turned back to leave and then remembered, “Was this type of Tru Blood okay? I wasn’t sure if you had a preference”?
“It tastes closest to the real thing”, he says.
“Do vampires have a favorite blood type”, I ask.
“Most do. Though most of the time they just take what they can get”.
“Do you have a favorite”?
“O negative which is why it probably does not bother me as much as others”, he says.
I let out a soft hum before turning to walk away.
“Why did you make that noise”, he asks.
“I think you’re out of questions tonight. You can ask tomorrow if you remember”, I smile as I head up the stairs.
“Goodnight Godric”, I call down as I turn off the lights. Again I wait to hear him but he says nothing until I have the door almost closed.
“Goodnight young one”.
I leave the church at almost midnight but with a huge smile on my face. Maybe I will be able to help save him.
