I’m surprised when I get home to see the lights on. I pull my silver spray from my purse as I slowly approach the door. Before I even make it up the steps the door flew open and once my eyes adjust to the bright light I realize it is Gabe.
“Where have you been”, he demands. “Steve called and asked me to check up on you and when I arrive you’re not here”.
Crap, “While I was at the church I had a friend call and I thought since I’m trying to get back to normal I decided to meet up with him and we grabbed dinner. I just lost track of time while we were talking”. Please let him believe it.
“Well, get in here I’ll be staying here till they get back now since you had to disappear on me”, he says grabbing my arm and pulling me into the house.
I allow myself to be pulled and go straight up to my room. Once I get changed into some pajama shorts and a tank top I crack the door open so I can listen for his snoring. Thankfully it doesn’t take too long. I pull a pack of Tru Blood from my closet and put it into my old school bag along with my purse.
I put on some flip flops and quietly go down the stairs. With the spare room he took right beside the front door I go out through the back door. Once I get up to my car I put the key in and turn it till it’s not quite on and put it in neutral before pushing it up the driveway. Once I have it out on the road I start it and rush back to the church.
I don’t want anyone to see my car so I park around back so I couldn’t be seen from the road and go in the back way. I get down to the basement to find the door on his storage area open.
“Godric”, I call out.
I wait a few minutes before I go upstairs and try calling for him again. I can’t help the nervous feeling that starts to fill me when suddenly he’s standing in front of me. I jumped a little and dropped the Tru Blood but thankfully he caught it.
“You almost gave me a heart attack I thought you were Gabe”, I breathed out.
“Why would you be afraid of Gabe”, he asked and I could hear the anger entering his voice.
“I told my brother I was starting to feel sick because they kept asking me to go with them for the week. I guess he told Gabe to check on me and when I wasn’t there they decided I was pretty much grounded with Gabe as my keeper. So I put on pajamas in case he decided to check on me and I snuck out when he fell asleep”, I told him.
I watched as his body relaxed, “Why did you need to sneak back out especially in such few clothes”?
I blushed at the mention of not much clothes. I had never really paid attention to how short the shorts were until he mentioned it “I didn’t want to wake Gabe up with any extra noise so it just made more sense to come in my pajamas. I wasn’t sure when I would be able to come back so I wanted to bring those by for you”, I say motioning to the Tru Bloods he had caught. “I also didn’t want you to think that I just didn’t want to come see you”.
“Thank you for informing me and for the drinks”, he replies.
I nod and turn to leave when it suddenly hits me, “How did you get out”?
“It wasn’t that hard to do. I learned to pick locks a long time ago”, he says.
“That’s a good trick to have”, I reply, “but why are you still here then? Why didn’t you leave”?
“You still have a month to convince me to leave”, I notice the corners of his lips lift slightly. “Since you do not know when you will be able to come back may I ask you one more question”?
“Sure”, I say.
“What was with the noise you made when I told you my favorite blood type”?
I smile walking back toward the back door. Once I open the door I turn around to face Godric, “That’s my blood type”, before I can move I’m pushed against the wall of church with Godric’s arms braced on either side of me boxing me in.
“You should avoid telling a vampire you happen to carry his favorite blood type”, he said as he slowly moved in closer. I couldn’t look away from his blue eyes as he got closer. Not even noticing I brought my hands up to his arms until they were toughing the cool skin.
My eyes suddenly closed and my breath caught as a picture of another vampire came to my mind. One I had never seen before and he was crying. My eyes snapped open as Godric moved out of my grip.
“That was new”, I say.
“What happened? You just suddenly went really still and it was as if you weren’t here”.
“I don’t know. When I touched you and closed my eyes I had a flash of someone I’ve never seen before and he was so sad”.
I hadn’t even realized I had been crying as well until Godric wiped a couple tears from my face, “What did he look like”?
“He was really tall, blond, and he was heartbreakingly sad and angry at the same time”, I said.
“His name is Eric; I created him about a thousand years ago”, he told me. “Do you know why he was sad”?
I shook my head, “I’m not sure but he was on a rooftop and I could see that the sun was beginning to rise”.
“Was there anything else”, he asked.
“It only lasted while we were touching”, I held my hand out to him, “can I try again”.
He looks at my hand before wrapping his own around it. I close my eyes and instantly the vampire is back only now he’s talking to a blond girl. I turn to see what they are looking at and I gasp when I see Godric and myself arguing. I can’t hear what’s being said but as the sun comes up the vision me hugs Godric and we go up in flames together.
I pull my hand from his as the vision fades. I just stare at Godric as my mind processes the vision. When I’m fully back in control I turn towards the door without a word and begin to leave.
Suddenly he’s in front of me, “What happened; what did you see”?
“I can’t right now but I promise I will tell you. I just need to think about what it means. I’m sorry”. I move around him quickly and he lets me leave.
When I get to the car I turn to find him watching me from the door. I get in quickly and go back to the house. I put the car back the same way I got it out and thankfully Gabe is still sleeping when I enter the house. I go to my room and crawl into my bed. I lay staring at the ceiling wondering how it got to the point that I would be willing to go with Godric and meet the sun.
I decide to just stay awake knowing being over tired I would be flushed and maybe even run a light fever allowing me to spend the day in bed. It worked in my favor and I ended up just staying around the house the whole week until the night before Steve and Sarah were due home. I told Gabe I was going for a drive and I would have my phone on me so he could check in whenever he wanted to. I put two bottles of Tru Blood in my bag before I left.
I drove around for a while before going to the church. Thankfully no other cars were in the parking lot and I pulled around back. I was barely in the door when Godric was suddenly beside me.
I jump slightly, “What if it wasn’t me that came through that door”?
“I saw you through the window. If it had been anyone else I would have went back down to the basement”.
I turn looking him over and I notice his skin has taken on that grey color again, “You haven’t had any of those Tru Bloods I left for you have you”?
“I don’t need it and I tend to be less hungry when I’m worried about something”.
“What has you so worried”?
He gave me a pointed look, “Just because I needed time to process what I saw doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat”.
“Will you tell me what you saw now”?
“Will you drink a Tru Blood first”?
Suddenly he’s gone and I move down to the basement. I find him sitting on the floor of his area with an open Tru Blood already half gone. I can already see his complexion returning to normal.
“Thank you”, I tell him. I actually move into the area with him and sit leaning against the cage. I pulled my legs close to my chest thankful I had decided on jeans tonight. I lay my head down on my knees looking away from him. I finally decide to let go of what had been bothering me all week. “I don’t want to die Godric”.
“Everyone dies at some point”, he says moving closer to me.
I finally look up at him my eyes meeting his, “Yeah but not everyone has to see it before it happens”.
His body tensed his hand halfway to me, “You saw yourself die when you touched me”? I nod my head and he continues, “I must have had something to do with it. Did you see me there”?
I shake my head. I had already decided unless it got to the point on the roof that I couldn’t get him to leave I would leave it be.
“I wonder what my child is up to then if he was there and I was not. You said he was sad”?
“Yes, he looked so lost standing there. He was talking to a blond girl at one moment but I don’t know who she was but I could tell she wasn’t a vampire”.
“How did you die”?
“Fire, I don’t know how or why I just know I saw myself surrounded by fire”.
He set his hand on my arm and I tensed expecting a vision but nothing happened. My eyes followed his arm up to his face.
“Nothing”?
“No. I guess it only comes when I need to know something”, I say shrugging.
I feel him let his hand drift down my arm and he interlaced our fingers, “It’s been a long time since I’ve touched anyone let alone a human I forgot how warm your kind are”.
I smile continuing to sit there letting him play with my hand for a while. After a few minutes I thought what it might be like for his hands to be on other parts of my body. Suddenly a picture flashed in my head of Godric lying beside me in a large bed and shirtless as I let my hands drift over his tattoos as he leans towards me.
Godric had pulled his hand from my own, “Was that another vision”?
“I just got lost in thought”, I tell him.
Suddenly my phone starts ringing loudly in the silent basement. I pull it out quickly, “Hello”.
I had to pull the phone from my ear as Gabe started yelling in the other end about how it’s late and I needed to get back to the house.
“Ok, I’ll be there soon”, I hang up quickly and notice it’s going on 10. “Why does time seem to go by so fast when I’m down here with you”?
“I’m not sure. It’s the same for me though. As soon as you leave the night just drags on”, He stands and holds out his hands to help me up. He pulled a little too hard and I end up pressed against him for a moment. “I apologize young one. I sometimes forget my strength around humans”.
“It’s fine really. Will you drink another Tru Blood tonight”?
“I am fine I don’t need it”, he says as he walks me behind me up the stairs.
I turn to face him when we reach the top of the stairs, “You didn’t have any while I was gone and I would feel better if you had another one tonight”. He nodded his head, “Thank you and goodnight Godric”.
He smiled, “Goodnight young one”.
I go out the backdoor and get to my car with no problem. I get home to Gabe glaring at me from the door.
“Let’s go inside and get to bed. Your brother called and they’ll be returning early in the morning and they are bringing some people with them for extra training so they’ll expect you up and ready to greet everyone”.
I roll my eyes as I walk up the stairs to my room. I change quickly into shorts and a tank top and had just climbed into bed when there’s tapping at my window. I ignore my robe as I move over to the window opening the curtains. I’m surprised to see Godric on the other side.
I push the window open quickly, “What are you doing here and how are you doing that”, I ask referring to the fact he’s basically floating outside my window.
He hands me my phone which I apparently forgot at the church, “I didn’t think it would be good if they found that in my cage. Being able to fly like this is something only very strong and old vampires are able to do”.
I smile, “Would you like to come in”?
“You would invite me in”, he asks with a confused look on his face.
I shrug my shoulders, “You could maybe come here on nights when I can’t risk going to the church. It would give you a chance to get out of the church”.
He nods, “I’ll consider it but I’ll go now so you can get some sleep”. He leans in slightly and lets his knuckles brush my cheek, “Sleep well young one”, then he’s gone.
I climb back into bed still able to feel the coolness from his skin on my cheek. I can’t help falling asleep with a smile on my face.
