A/N: I didn't really like the ending to "I will rise up" so I wanted to rewrite it. We didn't get a chance to learn who Godric's maker was so I wanted to introduce them. The story will be taking place right as Godric is about to meet the sun. I hope you enjoy it and please review.

Disclaimer: I do not own true blood, any of its characters, or storylines.

Sookie's POV

I couldn't believe Godric wanted to meet the sun. There was so much to live for why would he do this to himself. Eric told me he was incapable of love but I knew better. Even though I couldn't stand Eric at times I couldn't stand to see another creature in pain, especially those who don't deserve it. I was told that I couldn't even begin to understand the bond between a child and his maker, but I did. It was the same between me and Gran before she was killed. It was like being stabbed through the heart repeatedly. I knew that's how Eric was feeling right now and would always feel. I was awoken from my thoughts as I overheard the conversation between Godric and Eric. I knew this was a private moment between the two and so I didn't intrude.

"Two-thousand years is enough," Godric spoke calmly.

"I can't accept this…. its insanity," spoke Eric.

"Our existence is insanity. We don't belong here."

"But we are here," Eric boomed loudly.

I could tell his voice was breaking. He was on the verge of tears. I felt so bad for his poor soul. So many questions ran through my head all at once. How could Godric do this to his poor child? How could he leave him to roam the earth without his maker at his side? Did he not know the pain it would cause Eric? Was he as soulless as they claimed him to be? I knew Godric also felt pain, but I couldn't understand why he would put his own child in such misery.

"We're not right."

"You taught me there is no right or wrong. Only survival or death" Eric spoke strongly.

"I told a lie, as it turns out."

"I will keep you alive by force."

"Even if you could, why would you be so cruel?"

"Godric, gör det inte." (Godric don't do it.)

"Det finns århundraden av kärlek och tro mellan oss."( There are centuries of love and faith between us.)

At that I could tell that Eric had completely broken down. I had never seen someone so distraught in my life. My heart was breaking at the scene unfolding in front of me. I felt so many things for Eric. It was like a whirlwind of emotions. Something I had never experienced before. Through this I felt all his pain and heartache. It was almost too much. I was breaking down just as he was but I knew I had to be strong for him, even for Godric. As Eric went to his knees pleading I knew I couldn't let him live with this pain for eternity. Someone had to stop this. I could not and I would not let someone suffer if they didn't have to.

" Snälla. Snälla. "( Please. Please.)

"Snälla Godric." (Please Godric.)

"Father. Brother. Son," Godric spoke slowly.

Eric cried as he knew there was no changing his maker's mind.

"Let me go."

"I won't let you die alone."

"Yes you will. As your maker I command you."

Eric didn't have a choice. It wasn't like he could disobey his maker's last orders. He slowly got up and started to walk away. I stopped him and looked into his sorrowful eyes while holding his hand. Godric was going to be saved no matter what it took.

"I'll stay with him. However long it takes."

I then let Eric go and walked slowly towards Godric whose back was now facing me.

" It won't take long. Not at my age."

"You know it wasn't very smart, the Fellowship of the Sun part."

"I know. I thought it might fix everything somehow, but I don't think like a vampire anymore. Do you believe in God?"

"Of course."

"Then how will he punish me?"

Wow, poor Godric. He actually believed God would punish him. I didn't understand why he wanted to end his life here. There was so much he didn't know. That simple question about God proved it.

" God doesn't punish. God forgives."

"I don't deserve it . All the wrong doing and sinning. All the people I have killed and all the innocence I have taken away. I don't deserve that privilege. I won't ever deserve it. Not now, not forever."

"You're wrong, of course you do. Everyone deserves it. I would have been raped and possibly killed if you hadn't come along. You could have killed the people that took you but you didn't. Think of all the lives you saved at that church. You're letting all the wrong you've done overshadow the good. Trust me Godric when I say this. You have an eternity to make up for all the sins you've committed. If you leave now you will never be forgiven. Suicide is the one thing God does not forgive. There's so much you haven't seen and done. I may not have known you for long but I can look in your eyes and tell that you haven't fulfilled your life on earth. You we're put on this earth for a purpose and that purpose is to live, even if it means eternity. God isn't ready for you yet. You'll know when he time is right. You can redeem yourself but this isn't the way. Please Godric I'm begging you. We're running out of time."

I then heard a voice that was like an angel. I was taken aback by the sight before me. I had never seen anything like it before.

"She right Godric."

A/N: Ahh the suspense. Thank you for reading and please review. I will have a second chapter up tomorrow.
