I wake up slowly to find myself still wrapped in Godric’s arms and I smile wishing I didn’t ever have to move. I look up to find that he has fallen asleep. He doesn’t look so sad when he’s sleeping. I turn looking at the clock on the wall to find it is nearing sunset.
I carefully move out of his arms and go to the bathroom. I’m thankful to find two bathrobes since I don’t have any other clothes with me. I quickly get into the shower and just stand under the spray letting the water wash away all the dirt from yesterday.
I finish quickly and dry off before putting on the bathrobe and returning to the bedroom. He’s still sleeping when I get back and I just sit facing him and watching. Is it selfish to want to keep him here when he’s in such pain? How am I supposed to change his mind when it’s only a few hours away?
I shift closer and pick up his hand remembering the first time I felt his skin against my own. Can I continue to live without him? Yes I probably can but the real question is do I want to. I lean down and press his hand against my cheek. I close my eyes to the tears threatening to fall. After a moment I feel his hand shift and cupping my face on it’s own. I look up to find his blue eyes watching me half asleep.
“Good morning”, I tell him.
He sits up but I keep his hand pressed to my face, “Good morning”, he says.
I try to smile but I know it didn’t work very well. Before he can say anything though there’s a knock at the door.
“Come in”, he calls without looking away. “What do you need”?
“Nan Flanagan is here to see us about what happened with the Fellowship”, Eric says.
“I need to shower first can you find me some different clothes”, he asks Eric.
I assume Eric nods because I hear the door open and close. Godric leans in and presses a kiss to my cheek before heading to the bathroom. Eric returns a minute later with a white shirt and pants that are made of the same material as I first saw Godric in.
“Can you tell me which room Sookie is in”, I ask him.
“Why”, he says looking at me suspiciously.
“I need some clothes and we’re about the same size and height”.
He finally agrees telling me she’s just down the hall. I find it quickly and knock Bill answers the door.
“Yes”, he says.
“I was wondering if Sookie was in”, I ask.
She comes up behind him, “Let her in. What do you need”?
I look down at the bathrobe, “I could really use something to wear”.
She laughs a bit and heads into the bedroom motioning for me to follow, “Have you decided what you’re going to do”? She hands me some jean shorts and a black tank top thankfully my bra and underwear were fine to wear till I could get some new clothes.
“No, he’s in so much pain. I just don’t know if I want to force him to stay here”, I tell her as I pull on the clothes. “I mean I want him to stay I think he would do amazing things if he stayed. I don’t want to be selfish either”.
“You’ll figure it out even if it gets to that last second you’ll be fine”, she says.
I smile and thank her for the clothes before returning to my room. I pause outside the door hoping he hasn’t left yet. When I walk in Isabel has joined Eric and Godric and they’re sitting on the couches. They all stand when I enter.
Godric walks over to me, “We have to go to a meeting but I didn’t want to go before you got back”.
I just nod not trusting my voice. He leans in and kisses me then heads out the door. Once they’re all gone I go lay in the bed where he had slept. I still have no idea how I’m going to get him to stay but I have to try.
I stare at the clock for hours watching the minutes go by. When it’s close enough to sunrise I go up to the roof. There’s no one there when I arrive so I wait at the top of the stairs. It feels like I had been there for the same amount of time I had laid in bed waiting when I finally hear the door at the bottom of the stairs.
I stand when he sees me, “What are you doing up here”, Godric asks.
“I’m not entirely sure yet”, I say as he gets to the top of the stairs. “What are you doing up here”, I throw back at him.
He walks past me and stands in the middle of the roof looking out east. I can see just the faintest bit of light coming up. Eric comes up as well. I stand to the side and allow them to have a moment. It almost breaks my heart even more to see the large vampire begin to cry.
Sookie comes up then as well, “I stopped by your room. I was worried”.
Eric moves back towards us, “We’ll both stay with him as long as it takes”, Sookie tells him. “Are you ready”?
I shake my head no but I move forward anyway. When I’m beside him I ask the first thing that comes to mind, “Were you even going to tell me goodbye”?
He has the decency to look ashamed of himself before he looks up slightly angry, “You saw something didn’t you”?
“I did multiple times but I didn’t want you to know”, I say.
“Why would you not tell me”?
“I had already seen my own death and I knew how hard it was. Why would I tell you about yours”? I look to the east when I noticed some smoke coming up from him already. “Will you come back in and stay with me”?
“I’m ready to go. It’s been 2000 years it’s enough”, he says.
“It’s only been a month for me. I finally find something, someone to make me happy and you’re just going to leave”? I feel the tears falling and I was tired of fighting them. “How am I supposed to let you go”?
“You’ll be fine and I’ve asked Eric to take you with him and to watch over you”.
“I don’t want Eric, I want you”, I notice the light getting closer and know I’m running out of time.
“You’ll find someone else to make you happy”, he tells me as he starts to walk away removing his shirt.
“I won’t because I lied to you”, I almost slap my hands over my mouth especially when he turns to face me.
“You did what”, he asks very softly and it’s probably scarier than if he had yelled.
“I lied to you about the vision of my death”, I walk towards him. “I know where the fire came from”. I stop directly in front of him.
“Where was it from”, he asked still looking angry.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath before I open them again and place my hand on the center of his chest. He stands there and his eyes open wide just staring at me before he’s suddenly gone. I stand still before turning to see Sookie waiting.
“He went inside”, she says.
I feel my knees give out and as soon as I hit the roof I’m crying hysterically. I did it, I saved him but what did it cost me. Would he ever want to see me again? I feel arms come around me and I collapse in her lap. It takes about ten minutes before I get myself under control.
“Do you think he’ll hate me for making him stay? It was selfish and maybe I should have let him go”.
“I think he seemed angrier about you lying to him than anything”, she says.
“I didn’t want him to know. I saw that vision the second day I knew him and I stayed away for a week because it scared me. I didn’t understand how I would be willing to die with someone, I’ve only had a month with him and I already can’t stand the thought of being without him. I was worried if he knew he would push me away and I just couldn’t let that happen”, I try to explain to her.
“He loves you it’s obvious to anyone who looks at you two together but I get it and maybe you should let him be for a while. Bill and I have an adjoining room that is empty you can use; you look exhausted”, she says.
We make our way downstairs and we stop by Eric’s room first. When we enter he’s just sitting on the bed looking completely lost and destroyed.
“He’s not gone”, I tell him.
His head jerks up, “What”.
“I got him to come back in but he’s probably really angry”.
“How did you do it”, he asks.
I look to Sookie, “Can I trust him”?
“I would generally say no but since you’re important to Godric it should be safe”, she says.
“When I was younger I would get gut feelings when something was going to happen. I generally ignored them since everyone said it was normal but the day my family died in the car crash I was supposed to be with them but the feeling was so strong I thought I was sick and I stayed home. I got the same feeling when I heard Steve and Sarah talking about a vampire that was in the church. That’s how I first met Godric I just knew I had to help him”.
“That doesn’t explain the roof”, he interrupts.
“I was getting there it’s easier to understand if you know it all. I started bringing him the Tru Blood after that. On the second night I was there I got in trouble for being out of the house. I snuck out to take him some extra Tru Blood in case I couldn’t make it for a few days. He was out of the cage when I arrived and I ended up touching his skin and I got a flash of you on a roof crying. I didn’t understand it so we tried again and I had my first vision. I was up on the roof as well arguing with Godric and it ended with me burning along with him. I was confused and spent some time away after that. When I finally told him about it I didn’t tell him he was there just that I saw myself die”.
“Which explains why he’s angry with you”, he says.
I nod, “I didn’t want him to just try locking me in the room or something to keep me in. I needed to save him. I guess it’s selfish cause he’s in so much pain but I don’t want to be here without him. I think the world would be better if the vampires could see just how much of a difference he makes”.
“You love him”, he says it more as a fact rather than a question.
“I believe I care for him deeply”.
He nods, “I have to go see him”.
With that we all leave his room. I glance down the hall to see Eric outside of Godric’s room as I follow Sookie to her room. She shows me to the extra room and I quickly climb into bed exhausted after everything. Sleep comes slowly as I stare at a wall wondering if Godric will want to see me again.
When I woke up it took a couple minutes to remember what had happened. I sit up pulling the blanket around me as I hug my knees. Looking at the clock I realize it’s so quiet because it’s still an hour to sunset. I decide to face the day head on and I go out to the sitting area and find Sookie already up.
“I need to go shopping and try to pass the time”, she seems startled but quickly gets up agreeing. She writes a quick note to Bill about shopping and soon we’re out shopping with a car and driver purchased to the room which according to Sookie Eric is paying for. I stop by the ATM and thankfully Steve can’t touch my account. I take out some money and we start shopping.
We shop for quite a while since I had to basically get a whole new wardrobe. We don’t get back to the hotel until almost ten. As soon as we enter Sookie’s room we’re surrounded by three vampires demanding to know where we had been. I can’t move as I stare at Godric.
“I left a note telling you we were going shopping”, Sookie told Bill.
“I did not find a note about anything”, Bill told her.
She walked to the bedroom and found the note had fallen between the bed and the table.
“You still shouldn’t have left while we were sleeping”, Bill tells her.
“We rented a car and you would have known if I was in danger”, she points out, “and you too”, she directs at Eric.
“I’m just gonna put these in my room”, I say trying to slip into the adjoining room.
Godric moves in the way however, “Your room is down the hall with me”.
He grabs the bags that Sookie had set down and walks out into the hallway. I stand there completely in shock until Sookie gives me a little shove to follow. When I get to the room I find Godric sitting on the couch with a bottle of Tru Blood. I place the bags I had beside the door and sit across from him.
“Why didn’t you tell me the truth”, he goes straight for the hard one.
“I was mostly worried you would push me away to avoid it. I was also scared by the fact that I had grown so attached in such a short time that I would rather die with you than have to live without you. I considered just letting you go over the past two days. I could just see how sad you were but I’m selfish and I couldn’t do it”, I avoid looking at him.
“It’s hard living with the things I’ve done. Until a few hundred years ago I killed without a second thought and I enjoyed it. One night I found myself in the home of a wealthy woman. I had just finished draining her when her young daughter came in. She asked where her mother was and when she saw her mother on the floor she started screaming at me calling me a monster. It was the first time I actually regretted killing. After that I worked on my self-control. I haven’t killed someone I fed on in almost 300 years”, he tells me.
“You deserve to be here. You regret what you’ve done and you’re trying to make up for it. You can’t live completely in the past you have to let them go. You can do more good being here than just letting yourself burn. If anyone else had been Sheriff they would have killed Hugo without a second thought. You took Isabel into consideration and spared him”.
“I’m no longer Sheriff. We’ll actually be leaving Texas and going to Louisiana with Eric”, he tells me.
“We”, I ask hopefully.
“Of course I’m not going to leave you now. I just can’t guarantee that I’ll be happy all the time”, he says.
I quickly move to the other couch and hug him, “As long as you try and let me help you when it gets too much”.
“The next time you get a vision like that I want you to tell me immediately”, he tells me pulling back.
I agree and we relax then and spend some time just cuddling on the couch. I’m not sure what’s going to happen when we get to Louisiana but as long as he’s beside me I think we can get through it.
