When we get outside a tall Hispanic woman comes toward us, “Sheriff, I’m so happy you’re safe”.
“Did anyone bring a car”, he asks her.
She nods and we follow her to a black SUV and we climb in. Somehow I end up between Eric and Godric. I let myself relax for the first time in days and I close my eyes leaning my head back. It’s a quiet ride to Godric’s home but I doubt it’s going to last long I can feel the tension from Eric.
“It’s beautiful”, I tell him as soon as we’re out of the vehicle.
He smiles and I follow him inside. It’s very modern inside and I love the fireplace separating two rooms.
“Isabel will you show Jasmine to my room so she can shower and allow her to borrow some clothes”, he asks her.
“Of course Sheriff”, she says.
As I follow her out of the room I can hear Eric say, “Your room”?
I follow her up some stairs and she shows me to the last room on the floor. She opens the door and shows me where the bathroom is.
“So how is it that you met Godric”, she asks as she sets a towel down on the counter for me.
“Well, unfortunately Steve Newlin is my brother and I heard him and Sarah talking about there being a vampire at the church. I’ve never been like the rest of family. I don’t think it is right to hate people just because of what they are. So that night I went to the church basement and we talked a little bit and after that I would bring him Tru Blood whenever I had the chance and it just went from there”.
“He looks better than he has in months I just hope it stays that way”, she says then shows me how to work the shower before leaving to find me something to wear.
I shower quickly and wrap myself in a towel before going through to the bedroom. I find Isabel waiting for me.
“I wasn’t sure what would fit since you’re shorter than me so I brought a few things”, she says showing what she had brought.
I end up in a black satin dress that was tight at the top and showed of my cleavage very well. It flowed out at the bottom and fell to just a little above my knees. I was currently sitting on the floor with Isabel behind me straightening my hair.
I can hear music softly playing, “What’s going on downstairs”, I ask her.
“We’re having some other’s over to celebrate Godric being back. Though he hates these things”, she laughs as she tells me, “he always just sits there and almost ignores the people coming up to him. I know he listens but it just never looks like he is. He does it because he’s sheriff though and it’s part of the job”.
She finishes my hair and I follow her back down the way we came. Once we get to main room Sookie stops us.
“You look amazing in that”, she tells me.
“Thank you Isabel borrowed it to me”.
She pulls the man beside her closer and I recognize him as the one who came to the church for her, “I want you to meet my boyfriend Bill”.
“It’s nice to meet you”, I say.
“You as well Ms. Newlin”, he says back.
“It’s Jasmine”, I tell him. “I would prefer to forget that is my last name”.
He nods his head and they move off together.
I had forgotten Isabel was behind me until she said, “Godric asked for you to meet with him when we came down”.
I nod and follow her to the room on the other side of the fireplace. I’m surprised at how different he looks in a gray v-neck sweater and gray cargo pants. I blush lightly when I notice his eyes looking me over. He smiles softly and indicates the chair beside him.
“You look lovely”, he says as I sit beside him. “Will you sit with me for a while it’s rather tedious but I would enjoy your company”.
I sit there for some time not really listening to anyone just enjoying Godric’s hand in my own. I tense slightly when the cowboy vampire from earlier comes up. I learned his name was Stan. Godric’s gaze shifts to me when he leaves.
“Are you alright”?
“Yes, I’m fine”.
Jason Stackhouse comes up next apologizing for what the Fellowship had done.
“You helped save many lives today, Mr. Stackhouse. Please know you have many friends in this area whenever you visit”, Godric informs him.
“Thanks, man, but I don’t know if I’ll be wanting to come back anytime soon”, then he heads off.
Thankfully not long after that the line is gone and it’s just the two of us plus the security.
“It’s odd seeing you in different clothes”, I tell him smiling.
“Is that a bad thing do you prefer what I wore in the church”?
“No, I like it it’s just different”, I tell him.
Isabel comes in a few minutes later with Hugo. She brings him before Godric and I see everyone gathering around.
“Here this is the one who betrayed us”, she says as she makes him kneel.
“Hugo”, Godric says. “He is your human is he not”?
“Yes, he is”, she looks away ashamed.
“Do you love him”?
“I.. I thought I did”, she looks down close to crying.
“It appears you love him still”.
“I do. I’m sorry but you are my Sheriff. Do with him as you please”.
Godric looks at Hugo, “You are free to go”.
“What”, Stan asks.
“The human is free to go”, he directs at Stan. “And do not return. I fear it is not safe for you here”.
“This is a travesty”, Stan says.
“This is my verdict. Eric, escort them out. Make sure he leaves unharmed”.
“Yes, Godric”, Eric says before moving over picking Hugo up his collar to lead him out.
“Thank you. Thank you, Sheriff”, Isabel says.
Once everyone has gone back to mingling I turn my chair to face Godric more, “That was really considerate of you”.
“I’m tired of needless bloodshed and I know they love each other even though his reasoning for what he did was wrong”.
“Did you sleep at all today”?
“Not much but I’m fine. Though one thing I heard Ms. Stackhouse say had me interested. When she asked why I was at a hotel when I had my home I was wondering what she was talking about”?
“I had a vision when she touched me and we there at the hotel she is staying at”.
“Do you know why”?
“No”, though I’m not sure he believed me
Eric returns and comes to speak to Godric so I leave to give them some privacy. I go to find Sookie and happen to run into Jason on the way.
“How are you feeling after everything”, I ask him.
“I’m good I just can’t believe that I fell for everything your brother said like an idiot”, he says.
“Steve’s good at talking but he’s an idiot and one day people will remember it. He’s fueling his campaign on fear and hate and eventually people will see that he’s wrong”.
There’s a commotion on the other side of the room. I turn to Sookie arguing with a woman in a red dress. Suddenly Bill is between them and Sookie is yelling at the woman. Jason moves to run at them when the woman pushes Bill away and throws Sookie on the table beside them and goes to bite her. Suddenly I see Godric with his hand around the woman’s throat.
He pulled her up, “Retract your fangs. Now. I neither know nor care who you are but in this area, and certainly in this nest, I am the authority. Do you understand”?
“Yes, Sheriff”, she said.
He released her, “This human has proven herself to be a courageous and loyal friend to our kind. And yet you treat her like a child does a dragonfly pulling off wings for sport. No wonder they hate us”.
“She provoked me”.
“And you provoke me. You disrupted the peace in my own home. I could snap you like a twig. Yet I haven’t. Now, why is that”, he asks her.
“It’s your choice”, she replies.
“Indeed it is. You’re an old vampire I can tell. You’ve had hundreds of years to better yourself, yet you haven’t. You are still a savage and I fear for all of us humans and vampires if this behavior persists.”. He looks over to Bill, “You. You seem to know her”.
“Yes, Sheriff”, though it seems like he doesn’t want to admit it.
“Escort her from the nest”. He returns to addressing the woman, “I wish you out of my area by dawn”.
I join him back in the adjoining room. I can tell just by looking at him that he’s feeling down.
“Are you alright” I ask him as I sit down.
When he looks up I can see that same sadness he had at the church has come back.
“I’m fine”, he says.
I reach out and grab his hand bringing it to my lap and holding it with both of my own, “You really need to stop blaming yourself for what everyone else does. It’s her choice and her maker’s fault for what she is not yours”.
“It should be different we live in a different world now. They just aren’t adjusting to fit the new way of doing things”, he says shaking his head slightly.
“No one is gonna change if no one shows them the right way”, I tell him.
“Excuse me, everyone.” I hear from the other room.
“I think I know that voice”, I tell Godric and we get up to see what’s going on.
“If I could have your attention please. My name is Luke McDonald and I’m a member of the Fellowship of the Sun and I have a message for all of you from Reverend Steve Newlin”. When he opens his jacket there’s a bomb inside and he brings the detonator up in one hand. He looks at me as he pushes the button.
The next thing I’m aware of is something hitting me from the front and I hit the ground. There’s something on my chest but when I open my eyes I can’t see much. Suddenly the weight moves and Godric leans up. Apparently he had covered me from the blast.
“Are you hurt”, he asks moving his hands from my face and down my shoulders while he sat up over me.
If this had been a different situation I would have really enjoyed it, “I’m okay. I don’t think I’m hurt at all”.
He leans down and presses a kiss against my cheek, “I would have been upset if you had been hurt”, he says before he stands and helps me up.
That’s when I get my first look at just how bad it was. I stay close to Godric as we move in to the main room to get a better look. I see that Sookie is fine when she sits up and calls for Jason who is fine as well.
Isabel comes over then, “Who’s dead”, Godric asks.
“Stan, Paolo, Catherine, and two human companions”.
Isabel moves to get everyone’s attention, “Everyone please”.
When no one settles down Jason comes in to help, “Hey, y’all listen up”.
Godric moves forward to the middle of the room, “They may come back. Go to the Hotel Carmilla. They’ve been alerted. Security is in place”.
I glance at Sookie and she looks at me.
Godric waits until everyone is out and takes one last look around the room. I can see the sadness deepen in his eyes. He turns and grabs my hand and we leave the house together. We get to the hotel quickly and are suddenly alone together in a room.
I move and sit down on the couch, “Do you want to talk about it”?
He looks my way before moving to sit beside me, “I don’t really feel like talking”.
We sit in silence until the sun is about to come up, “Would you like to lie down to sleep”.
“I’m not tired”, he says but there’s no emotion in his voice.
“Will you come lay with me”?
He nods his head and we stand moving into the bedroom. We lay down but he leaves a space between us. I just want to beg him not to go to the roof but the sadness in his eyes makes me hold back. I’m not ready to let him go but I don’t him to hurt like this. Just this short while has made me the happiest I’ve ever been and I don’t want him to go.
I turn to face away from him when I feel my eyes begin to fill with tears. I’m surprised when he moves behind me and wraps an arm around me.
“What’s wrong young one”?
“I’m just scared”, I tell him.
“That’s understandable after everything that happened tonight it’s been emotional”, he tightens his hold on me.
I turn over in his arms so I can face him, “That’s not what scared me. Steve’s been planning something like this for a while now. There’s no way they made that bomb in just a few short hours”.
“Then what has you so upset”, he asks as he uses a thumb to wipe away the tears that had fallen.
I take a minute to think and run my fingers over the tattoo around his neck, “I just have that feeling again and it’s pulling at my heart. I think it’s gonna be soon”. I pause for a moment my hand moving up and I run my fingers on his jaw and over his lips, “I don’t want to lose you when we’ve just found each other”.
He places a finger on my chin pulling my face up to look at him before he leans forward. He paused looking me in the eyes before closing the distance and pressed his lips against my own. It was a very short and sweet kiss just lips meeting before he moved back and pulled me closer to his chest.
I close my eyes and press my face into his body, “Thank you for my first kiss”. I know it was cheesy but if my vision played out tomorrow I wanted him to know he had given me my first kiss.
“That was your first kiss”, he asks somewhat startled.
“It was”.
“I am honored to have given it to you”, he says as he runs a hand through my hair.
I fall asleep to the feeling of his hand still running through my hair.
