The cell was cold. I preferred that if I do survive that I never sleep on a concrete floor ever again. Reflecting on how I got here and I haven't felt this scared alone since losing Olivia. My bond with Eric felt strained so I bet I was far away from him but the stuff they injected me with might be dampening down the effects of the blood bond. I felt sluggish and exhausted but could feel Eric's panic in the back of my mind.
Three days earlier.
I just got back from Fangtasia deciding to hit the hay until something started to ring.
"Hello?" I mumbled still half asleep.
"Sorry to call you but I got in a car crash. Could you come pick me up?" Myah whimpered making me rush to get dressed.
I pulled up to a white van that was parked along the side of the road. Myah was talking with two other men while examining the damage the car took from hitting a tree. Thank god, Myah looked okay.
"Thank heavens you came. I owe you," She gushed giving me a hug.
She didn't let go and pulled tighter when someone placed a cloth over my mouth. I held my breath struggling to try and get out her grip. When the other man jabbed me in the side, screaming in pain. I soon blacked out.
Waking up, hogged tied in the back of the van to watch Myah take a syringe injecting me with a clear substance. I struggled feeling Eric's panic faded to darkness.
Eric POV
I jerked awake feeling Lyssa's fear for about twenty seconds before it was gone. I could feel her location but not her emotions just a hollow shell where she usually was. Calling, Godric was futile and I was stuck to do nothing until the sun went down in ten hours.
"What's wrong?" Pam asked rushing in reeling from the panic she felt from me.
"I felt Lyssa's fear then it disappeared and I can't feel anything," Eric panicked calling Alcide to try and follow the direction he felt her heading towards.
I hated waiting the grueling hours until I could find Lyssa. If anyone had so much touched her, I swear to rip them limb from limb. Pam and I flew to Dallas as fast as we could. I could barely feel her location and Alcide apparently lost them when they switched vehicles.
I didn't knock but stormed in to see Godric mingling on the side with Isabel and a young woman.
Godric opened our bond feeling my fear and anger. He also felt my bond with Lyssa. He was surprised and a bit jealous.
"Lyssa's been kidnapped," I snapped making the two women looked at me shocked.
Lyssa POV
My mom came down with a tray of food. I turned my back to her not wanting to her harsh words.
"They won't come for you. They vampires they don't care about people just food to play with to them. Your father thinks you can change through some conversion therapy. I hope you see what we have been trying to show the world. Your sister would have understood," she spat leaving the tray just outside of the cell before leaving.
I grabbed the roll nibbling on it despite being sick to my stomach. I could hear Eric reaction if I didn't eat in my head of patronizing me to save my strength. My head battled with the thought of Eric not going for me. Did Eric tell Godric? Did Godric not care because he already moved on. My panic increased making me questioned if the life I had built was a sham.
I woke up being dragged from my cell blindfolded until I was set down in a room on a bed. I could feel the drugs they gave me wearing off feeling that Eric close by. Someone took my blindfold off to reveal a young attractive man in the room with me.
"Hello, Alyssa, the first step of your therapy is establishing someone who you can trust. I'm James and going to be your partner for the time being," He explained sitting down next to me placing a hand on my zip tie hands.
"Don't touch me," I spat moving to stand when he pushed me back on the bed.
"We have to make you better, Alyssa. I've been ordered to help provide you with the comfort of a man."
Screaming, I kicked trying to hurt James when he tried to get closer. Unintentionally, I can feel a surge of panic from Eric and his emotion of rage grow.
James finally grew angered using his size to his advantage to tackle me. Wrapping a hand around my throat, I brought my elbow up hard knocking him backward. The door flew open and in rushed Eric, Godric, Isabel, and Pam rushed in. Godric knocked James unconscious with a swift punch. I felt relieved breathing in Eric's scent as he clutched me to his chest. Eric stroked my hair as I let out a sob into his chest. He kissed the top of my head pulling me to stand.
Eric shot everyone a look.
"We will be outside," Isabel noted walking out with Pam. Godric smiled sadly at me before leaving as well.
"You father was more clever than he thought with his defenses. I wanted to come for you the moment you were taken. I'm sorry. I hated feeling so powerless," Eric hissed his eyes bitter.
"I should have seen Myah coming," I seethed at myself.
"I should have dug into her background before letting her live with you."
"No more what ifs. I still haven't gotten my reunion kiss. Are you losing your game, Northman?"
Eric shook his head pulling me down for an aggressive kiss his hands wandering. I smiled at him my hands tugging at his hair. Pulling his lip between my teeth he groaned pulling away.
"Later."
We walked up from the basement of the church's new base following Godric, Pam, and Isabel. I couldn't look at Godric without feeling upset and sad. I didn't want to make Eric have to deal with my emotions about his maker. Eric kept his arm tight around me as we stepped outside.
I noticed dozens of cop cars around arresting people. Eric filled me in that they had been testing on vampires as well as kidnapping people with relationships with vampires trying to cure them. I noticed my father being put into a cop car. He refused to look in my eyes. Eric rubbed my back as the car drove away. I turned to see Godric, Isabel, Pam, and the back a dark haired woman conversing. Godric put a hand on the woman's shoulder making my heart drop. Of course, he was just here on sheriff business with Isabel. Godric was with another woman and that should be okay.
I hated that Eric felt my jealousy.
The woman turned.
"Olivia?" I asked dumbfounded.
Her crooked grin confirmed that it was really her.
"Hey, Lys, what have you been up to?" She asked smirking.
"Not much, how about you?" I squeaked tears pouring over as she walked up to give me a crushing hug.
"After Godric found me, just helping stop a war between humans and vampires, so not much." She pulled away with red tracks down her face.
I had so many questions to ask her. I didn't know where to start.
"Come, I'm sure you could use a shower and some food. Want to ride back with me if your Viking can share you for a second?" Olivia glanced over at Eric smirking.
"It's not every day she has a sister comes back to life. We will meet up with you two back at the nest," Eric smiled at me following Godric, Isabel, and Pam into a car.
Olivia and I got into a car with her driving. She forced me to drink a bottle of water and eat a Pb & j she made herself with love she specified.
"Now, I know I have a lot of explaining to do but let me explain how much Godric cares for you. He told me about your relationship before he left. I know you have moved on but he left to protect you and find me. He talks about you is nonstop. He's helped me so much giving me a home and support. Go easy on him."
"Why didn't you come to me? Everyone thought you were dead, I saw your body. I went to call for help but your body was gone after I called the police."
"I wasn't in control. I didn't want to burden anyone. I could exactly go back to my old life. I see that was selfish but I didn't want to drag you into this life. Besides, being in love with two vampires, you did that by yourself."
"If Sookie knew that I was with Eric she would have a cow. Nice to know you're so chill about vampires, my vampire sister." I joked.
"She's with Alcide back at the nest. Trust me she knows, she slapped Eric when he told her you two shared a bond. He held his own with his argument without ripping her throat out. He shut up saying they wouldn't know where or how you were feeling if you two weren't connected. To see Northman threaten Sookie, to keep her opinion to herself was something I'd pay to see again. She understands what it's like for people not approve of her so she won't be that tough on you. Eric said to blame him not you."
"You're going to stick around after? I mean I'm looking for a new roommate since my last one kidnapped me."
"Sounds perfect, besides Pam's easy on the eyes."
I cringed making an unattractive snort.
"If she keeps you around. I'll put up with Pam's sexual comments just for you."
Sookie quickly whisked me away upstairs to grab me fresh clothes to freshen up. She gushed about how she approved of Eric and I. Saying, she apologized for not being able to tell her about Eric and I. Explaining that she had no place to judge. She left me with fresh clothes leaving me to shower. Stepping out in a towel, Eric sat on the bed with his hands on his knees in thought.
"Don't hurt yourself you might get wrinkles," I joked dropping the towel putting on the clothes that sat next to him. He ignored me even when I dropped my towel. I could feel frustration and fear from his side his bond.
"Eric? What's wrong?" I asked placing my hands trying to get him to look at me.
He looked up with red tears in his eyes.
"I should have known Godric left to protect you. Now, you're going to go back to him," Eric snapped pushing my hands away.
"I'm not going to leave you. I'm the one who should be worried about you finding someone else."
"I'm not an idiot, Lyssa. I feel how you feel about each other."
"So you know everything then. You going to push me away when I love you?"
Eric looked at me feeling the words through our bond making him chuckle before erupting into booming laughter.
I tilt my head puzzled.
"I pour out my heart and you laugh?" I hissed crossing my arms hurt.
"Calm down, my love. I love you so much I was afraid of losing you."
Eric stood leaning down to kiss my forehead.
"I believe I have a solution that will make everyone happy."
Walking downstairs, I felt in the same place I did a year ago blushing like a virgin now without the virgin part. I glanced to see Isabel now in Godric's chair. With Pam, Olivia, and Godric sitting around her. The room bustled but I was only focused on one person.
Godric glanced at me and I motioned to follow me outside to the balcony.
"Before you say anything, I want to apologize," Godric started walking to stand beside me looking at the stars.
"Godric," I interrupted looking into his eyes that I missed so much, the eyes of my first love.
"Please, Lyssa. Just give me two minutes. I hate myself for leaving you but when Isabel told me about the possibility of your sister being alive I knew it was the right thing. The possibility of giving you false hope was a risk I was unwilling to take. I kept Eric out my business with trying to contain his religious group before they tried to go after the two of you. I figured if I kept them occupied they would set their sights on me instead of you. I know I was wrong and selfish.
I love you and Eric so much that I'm happy you two have found each other. When we met I was in a dark place but you found me. I want to make you happy even if it means never seeing you again."
"Are you finished?"
Godric nodded.
I jumped forward springing up on my toes kissing Godric with the passion of past months fueled with regret, anger, and unconditional love.
I pulled away grinning wiping away the start of a tear in Godric's eye.
"If you will take us, Eric and I want you to be with us."
"Nothing would make me happier."
I grabbed his hand with mine looking out against the sky as sunrise neared. I smile up at the fading stars knowing that the night would come again.
The End.
Thank you, everyone, for your support. If I did write a sequel what would you want to see? This was my first True Blood fanfiction ever so would you like to see another Godric/oc/Eric or just Eric or Godric fanfic? Please let me know your feedback.
