**A/N: Sookie is coming in to the story so anything in italics is Jasmine’s thoughts directed at her.
I can’t believe it’s been over a week since I last saw Godric. He hasn’t come back and Sarah and Steve had been spending more time with me and forcing me to get involved especially if Luke would be there. Thankfully tonight they were doing night training with the Soldiers of the Sun and I was already on my way to the church with the last four bottles of Tru Blood.
When I arrive at the church there were no cars in the parking lot and I pull around back. I quickly let myself in and go straight to the basement. The door is closed when I get to it and he’s sitting in the corner like he was the first time I saw him.
“Godric I brought you some Tru Blood. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be here all week it was really busy”, I say.
He just sits there and doesn’t even move. I sit down carefully since I’m in a dress tonight and open one of the Tru Bloods and place it through the bars. Other than a slight tensing he doesn’t react.
“Aren’t you hungry Godric”, I ask.
Finally he quietly responds, “I’m fine”.
“You’ve been down here for almost a week without eating you have to be hungry”, I try coaxing him out of the corner. He just continues to sit there.
“Are you angry with me”, I ask softly. When he doesn’t respond I continue, “I don’t like him”.
I notice he tenses again but still doesn’t say anything. I sigh and move back leaning against the wall and stretching out my legs getting comfortable. I pull out my phone and start playing a game.
“Why are you not leaving”, he asks.
“You haven’t eaten yet”, I reply.
Suddenly he’s standing at the cage, “You can’t guilt me into eating every time you want”.
I look up at him through my eye lashes, “Why are you angry with me”?
“I’m not. I’m angry with myself for wanting something I can’t have”, he says.
I stand up moving over to the cage so I can look into his eyes, “Why can’t you have it”?
“It doesn’t want me”.
I reach my arm through the bars and he allows me to grip his hand, “What if it does; what if I want you”?
His eyes finally meet mine but before he can say anything a door opens upstairs. We stand in silence waiting to see where they were going. Finally we hear them leave.
“That was the front door right”, I ask him.
“Yes”.
“Thank goodness I was parked out back”, I breath out.
I’m brought back to the conversation when he runs his fingers over my cheek, “Do you want to be with me” he asks.
“If you’ll have me”.
He pulls away from me, “I’m not good for you”.
I’m stunned for just a moment before I regain myself, “I believe that decision is mine to make”.
“You wouldn’t have liked who I used to be; who I’m capable of being”.
“I may not have but we’ll never know. I do know that I like who you are now and I want a chance to get to know you better. Unless you don’t want to be with me”, I say dropping my eyes from his.
His touch is gentle as he pulls my face up so I look at him, “I would enjoy nothing more”.
I close my eyes for a moment and an alarm on my phone goes off. I turn it off quickly upset I already had to leave.
“I have to go so I can be back before anyone else at the house”, I tell him. “If you can will you come by later”.
He nods, “I will try”. He pulls one of my hands up and gently presses his lips against it.
I smile at him and turn to leave not letting go until I had to.
“Just in case you can’t make it: Goodnight Godric”, I tell him.
I hear him give a soft laugh for the first time, “Goodnight young one”.
I have just enough time to change when I hear everyone come in. I turn off my light and climb into bed just in time for Sarah to knock and look in when I don’t answer. Once the door closes I quietly get out of bed and open my window. I lay down to wait watching through the window for him.
After just a few minutes I hear my door open again only this time I know someone comes in. I pretend to be asleep and try to keep my breathing even. I nearly jump out of my skin when someone touches my arm. I was just going to ignore it until it started to move down my side. I pull out all the stops to make it seem like I’m just waking up. The hand finally moves off of me when I turn.
“Luke, what are you doing in my room”?
“I just came in to make sure you were okay”, he says though he drags out the “to” like he wasn’t entirely sure what he was gonna say.
“You need to go it’s not appropriate for you to be in my room”, I say.
“I think it’s appropriate for a guy to tell his girlfriend goodnight”, he says smiling.
I heard a soft growl and my eyes widen slightly, “I’m not your girlfriend Luke. I like you as a friend but nothing more than that. You’re not my type”.
“Do you even know your type cause Sarah told me you’ve never really dated anyone. So how can you know I’m not your type”, he asks.
“I’m sorry I’m just not attracted to you that way”.
“Maybe you’re just stuck up”, with that he left my room.
I turned to the window and Godric was already beside my bed. His hand tracing the path that Luke had touched earlier.
When his hand finished I grab it and pull him to lie beside me on the bed.
“Did I hear you growl earlier”, I ask.
He looked away, “Yes, sometimes it’s difficult keeping control of myself”.
I smile and shrug, “It was nice knowing you were there if I needed you”.
“Does it not bother you that I thought about coming in and ripping his arm off for touching you before you woke up”?
“Most people would think that. It’s just that most of them couldn’t actually accomplish it. I wasn’t actually asleep I just wanted everyone in the house to think I was so I pretended to be asleep”.
He nods, “Only a couple hundred years ago I would have had no problem ripping him to pieces and it wouldn’t have bothered me at all”.
“Do you remember why you changed or what changed it”, I ask. I notice the dark look that falls over his face, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to talk about it”.
“I’m just not ready to talk about it. Maybe one day I’ll tell you”, he says.
“Does “maybe one day” mean you’re planning to leave the church”, I ask hopeful.
“Yes but I have to wait till tomorrow night maybe the night after”, he tells me. “I heard that Eric is in town and planning to send two humans to the church to look for me tomorrow”.
“Why would he do that”?
“He knows I wouldn’t want them to just storm the church he’d want proof that I was there first”.
“That’s good though isn’t it”?
“Except it’s putting both humans in danger and one is a traitor to my nest”.
“Why is he a traitor”?
“He’s the human to one of my nest mate’s and he gave them the location to my home and has been feeding them information”.
“What does it mean that he’s your nest mate’s human”, I ask.
“He’s a companion to one of the vampires I live with”, he explains.
“Oh, okay”, I get out through a yawn.
He smiles at me, “I should go and let you get some sleep”.
I tighten my hand around his, “Will you stay for a little while longer till I fall asleep”?
He nods and settles back down on the bed.
When I wake up the next morning I wasn’t sure if last night was a dream but by the way the bed is rustled I know it wasn’t. I get out bed in a better mood than I have had in months. I get ready for the day quickly and I’m almost skipping down the stairs for breakfast.
Sarah is in the kitchen finishing up breakfast so I help her out by setting the table and grabbing some drinks.
“Someone is in a good mood this morning”, she comments as I help her carry some platters of food to the table.
“Who’s in a good mood”, Steve asks.
“Jasmine”, she answers. “So why are you in a good mood this morning”?
“I just felt good when I woke up so I figured I would go with it”, I tell them.
“Well, that’s great maybe you’ll be in a good mood and you’ll agree to join us at the lock-in tomorrow night”, Steve says.
I smile his direction, “I’ll think about it today but it doesn’t sound so bad”.
I ignore Luke when he comes down and I clean up afterwards before heading out to my bench. Soon Sarah joined me with some sweet tea.
“Is this good mood due to a certain boy in the house”, she asks me.
“No, Luke is just a friend”.
“You don’t like him more than that”, she asks.
“He’s just not my type. He’s nice and all but there’s just nothing there”, I try to explain.
“What is your type then”?
I blush lightly, “I don’t know”.
She laughs, “You already have someone in mind don’t you? Do we know him”?
I try not to laugh, “I know Steve has but I’m not sure if you do”.
“I can keep a secret you should tell me who it is”.
“I think I’ll keep it to myself for a little while longer I don’t want to jinx it”.
“All right keep your secrets. Steve and I are going to go to the church to meet some possible new members”, she tells me.
“I’m gonna spend more time here and I’ll come by the church a little later”, I tell her.
She nods and leaves me outside. I go back in the house and do some general cleaning while I wait for the time to pass. I head out to the church earlier than I usually did. I don’t see anyone on my way in but there were some cars in the parking lot. I head to Steve’s office first and knock.
“Come in”, I hear through the door. When I walk in I find Steve, Sarah, and Gabe.
“I was hoping the new members would still be here and I could introduce myself”, I tell them.
“They’re already gone”, Sarah tells me but I get the feeling she’s lying.
“Oh, well I’m sure I’ll see them tomorrow if they were invited to the lock-in”.
“You’re coming”, Steve asks.
“Yeah, I’m starting to feel better so I thought a night away from the house would be good”.
“That’s great to hear’, Sarah says.
“I’m gonna go to the chapel and pray”, I tell them before heading out of the office.
I sit down in the chapel and wait for Steve and Sarah to leave. It’s not long before they tell me they’re leaving. I head down to the basement and hear two people talking. Looking around the corner I see the blond girl from my vision and a guy talking.
I step around the corner and immediately the girl calls out yelling questions at me.
“Would you be quiet”, I tell her wondering how I’m supposed to go down to see Godric.
“You know where G…”
“Shut Up! How do you know that”, I ask.
“I’m a telepath”, she tells me.
“Well then listen to my thoughts”, I tell her.
I think about how Godric told me about the man being a traitor and that he plans to leave the church with her.
“Does he really”?
“Yes, if you can just relax”, I tell her before moving off to see Godric.
He was already at the bars when I got there, “So, I guess you’re not leaving until tomorrow since you’re still in there”.
“If Eric sent them and they don’t come back he’ll come for them. There are guards all over place outside so it’s going to be difficult getting out with one human let alone three”.
“There are only two people down there. What do you mean by three”?
“Do you want to stay here? I thought it would be difficult to see each other”.
“Of course I don’t want to stay I just wasn’t expecting you to want to take me with you”.
“I find that I like having you around”, he says smiling. Suddenly he turns to the stairs, “Someone’s coming”.
I turn my head just in time to see Gabe come out at the bottom.
“What are you doing down here with that vampire”, he asks storming down towards me.
I’ve never been good with making up good stories on the spot and said nothing.
“Is this the first time you’ve been down here”?
“Yes, I never come down here”, I respond.
“Well, we’ll just see. Steve had a camera put in down here. For now”, he grabbed my arm and pulled me down the hall stopping in front of the cage the other two were in, “you can spend some time with them”.
He pushed me in and the girl caught me before I fell. He closed the door and locked it then went back up the stairs.
“Are you alright”, she asked.
“Not if there’s really a camera down here”, I respond.
“I’m Sookie”, she says.
“Jasmine”.
“Do you mind if I see why”?
I nod and she takes both my hands in her own. When she does I slip into the same vision as last time.
“Don’t say anything”, I tell her when she lets me go. Don’t say anything. Godric knows but I didn’t tell him he was the reason I died. I’m hoping to change it before it happens.
“What are you”?
“I don’t know I only had the first one a few weeks ago. Before that I just had feelings like something bad was going to happen”, I explain. “The one good thing is that we know we get out of this place”.
We hear the door open at the top of the stairs. I wait holding my breath until Steve and Gabe both come around the edge of the stairs. He looks angry.
“I can’t believe that my own sister would do something like this. Going behind my back and bringing anything for that vampire. Why would you do that he’s just an animal”?
“When did you become such a hate filled person”?
“When they killed our parents and sister! He’s just a murderer like the rest of them”, he said, “Maybe leaving you down here for the night will do you some good”. With that both of them left.
“He’s an idiot”, Sookie says.
“I would have to agree with you”, I say.
“Do you know when exactly”?
Sometime tomorrow; he’s expecting Eric to come. He’s good but with the guards outside he doesn’t think he can get all of us out of here so he wants to wait for some help.
She nods and everything falls silent. Even though my vision shows us out of the church I’m worried about why Godric would still be willing to meet the sun. I curl up on the floor to get some sleep.
“You’re gonna sleep on the floor”, she asks.
“I don’t want to be tired for tomorrow”, I tell her.
“You’re right I guess I’ll try as well”, she says lying on the floor near me.
“Goodnight Godric”, I call out to him. Sookie looks at me strangely. Though I can imagine she probably called for Godric for a while before I came down the stairs.
“Goodnight young one”, his soft voice replies.
I almost laugh at Sookie’s surprised face. I close my eyes and hope that tomorrow goes smoothly.
