Death for love.
DALLAS HOTEL CAMILLA—04:35
"So what can I get for you?" asked the bartender behind the counter. As I sat at the bar I heard the guy ask me something but I really didn't listen to him my head was running wild. I mean would anybody be able to focus knowing there is a target on your back? You could get killed any moment whether it's now or in a week or even a year. "I'm sorry what did you say?" I had to stop thinking and start to think where I was going to go. "I asked what can I get for you. Would you like a
O-NEGATIVE OR POSITVE? I'm sorry it's just you're really beautiful. What blood type would you like?"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha oh no thank you but I would like a captain Morgan double with coke."
The bartender looked shocked at me but went to make my drink. as I waited for my drink the elevator bell rang and I looked over my shoulder I saw a tall guy really tanned skin dirty blonde hair and heading my way. "Hi can I get a rum double with coke"
The bartender gave me my drink and the guy next to me took my drink and said to the bartender "I ordered that not the girl. Dahm can't even get good service."
"Uh no actually I did order that so do you mind giving my drink back?" Just as I finished the bartender gave the guy his drink. "I am so sorry I just thought you were a vampire. I'm glad to see there are still girls drinking the real stuff, but anyway hi my name is Jason." I took my drink back from Jason and started to drink it or more like down it. "Aren't you going to tell me your name?" Asked Jason to me but I couldn't trust anyone but I mean he looked like someone that doesn't kill and he was at a vampire hotel. "Well Jason since you already took my drink I guess I can tell you my name. Hey I'm Danalynne"
"well Danalynne I really am sorry for that let me pay for your drink and buy you a new one" I smiled at him, his accent was really strong and he was kind of cute.
" no thank you Jason I have to get going but it was nice meeting you and maybe I will see you around here somewhere." I really was tired and wanted to go and sleep. "Well let me walk you to your floor or room." Jason offered his arm to me and I took it. We walked to the elevator. Once we were inside I pushed my floor and Jason said that he is three floors down from me. "You can get out on your floor you don't have to walk me to my room." I said not wanting to impose. "Only if you will meet me for breakfast." I thought about it and saw no harm in doing so. "Sure why not. Meet you at the bar at nine?"
"It's a date?" Said Jason and I giggle a little bit. We talked a little until we said our goodbyes and he got off on his floor level. I got out of the elevator and walked to my room I was just about to unlock the door when I heard someone say "on the roof" .
I looked in the direction I heard the voice and that's when I saw him that's when I saw Godric. I watched as he went up the stairs followed by a really tall man with blonde hair and he was really sexy. Just before the tall man walked up the stairs he looked straight at me and when I saw his eyes it was really beautiful but that's not all I saw. Everything was written in his eyes I saw regret, worries' and the most of all loss. I followed not long after. I was climbing so fast I was afraid I would trip any moment. As I pushed the roof door open I saw Godric and the tall guy on his knees begging. And just by the door stood a blonde girl with really tanned skin.
"I will keep you alive by force!" said the guy on his knees, Godric was about to say something but I couldn't let him die -I won't. "You can't do this!" I screamed making myself known. All three of them turned their heads to me. "Godric I won't let you do this " I walked past the girl and stood next to the guy I didn't know. The guy turned to me bloody tears were falling down his face. "How do you know Godric?"
The tall guy coldly asked me but I kept my focus on the vampire I couldn't lose.
Dallas 9 months ago
I was walking down the street I just needed some air because I just had a fight with my boyfriend. I found him cheating again but this time with my best friend. Right then I wanted to kill myself. I have had it with being hurt and being used. I was walking in the rain it was raining hard but I was glad that no one could see I was crying.
As I was walking I noticed someone was following me for a long time now, I thought it was my boyfriend he could have easily tracked my scent and follow me because he is a werewolf. I knew from the start that he wasn't normal he was always warmer and he growled in his sleep so one day I asked him and he told me what he was. I know I should have left right then but I couldn't I loved him. "Mark leave me alone right now. I don't want to talk to you." I didn't hear him say anything so I turned around and there was no one so I turned back to walk again but walked straight into someone. "Now I'm sure mark will be sorry for leaving a pretty thing like you all alone." When I looked into his face all that I could see was his white fangs that was so real and close to me.
"I am sorry but I have to go" I turned around to walk away but was dragged back into an alley I tried to scream but his hand was over my mouth. He removed his hand from my mouth but replaced it around my throat I didn't scream because I knew it would not help and I silently wanted this. I saw him look down at me with his fangs out shining lightly in the dark. He removed his hand and pushed me against the wall hard. I hit my head and knew it was bleeding. "Aren't you afraid of me?" Asked the vampire holding me down. I whispered "no" that's when he turned my head to the left and viciously bit down on my neck. I whimpered from the pain I felt and he bit down even harder. If it wasn't for him holding me I would have fallen to the ground. I could feel my body getting weaker from blood loss and I didn't care.
The next moment I felt him rip his fangs out and I fell to the ground, I saw two pairs of feet and then the one left and the other came towards me but I blacked out before anything else could happen. I woke up on something soft and I thought it was all just a dream but when I opened my eyes all I saw was darkness. I realised this was not my room so I felt around for a bed side lamp or something but the lights came on.
"I am sorry that it is this dark when the lights are off." I looked to the door and there stood a boy that can't be over eighteen. His brown hair was cut short, his eyes was a mixture of brown-green and a little blue but his pale skin made his eyes stand out more. "Where am i?" Was the first thing I thought of to ask. "Right now you are in my home here in Dallas." The boy said and looked at me like he was expecting something to happen. "Why am I here and who are you." I asked wanting to know why I'm here and not dead -I wanted to die.
"You are here because you were attacked and I saved you and brought you here so that you can heal, and my name is Godric." He said and did a slight bow to me that I found strange because it wasn't in the old times anymore.
"Why did you save me Godric I wanted to die?" I was angry that he saved me if I wanted to be saved I would have screamed and fought. Godric looked at me shocked and I only gave him a hard stare.
"Why would you want to die little one?" Godric walked over to the bed and sat next to me on the bed.
"Because I am tired of hurting, being alone and living. My name is Danalynne not little one"
"Danalynne it is a beautiful name that you have. To me you are a little one you're merely what twenty? Where I am over two thousand years old." Godric said casually but my eyes went so wide it almost hurt.
"You are over two thousand? Wow you really look good for your age. But no I'm not twenty I am almost seventeen."
Godric and I talked a lot the whole month I stayed there. I told godric about my life but something's I left out because I never wanted to tell anyone about my dark past. For that month I slowly started to fall in love with him but I learned my lesson all too well. He was everything opposite to what I knew vampires were like, he was so kind to me and also Isabelle was so kind. Stan on the other hand was rude but godric made him behave when I was in the room. Godric even almost killed Stan because he insulted me but I told him to let Stan go. Godric went to the level of taking me to shop for food in the nights; he said it is a must that I should have human food in the house. I couldn't help but start to feel something for him. After a month I told him it is time that I go and he refused but I told him I would come and visit again in a month's time. I said my goodbyes to Isabelle and Stan but then I said goodbye to the one vampire I fell in love with - Godric.
Present time dallas-05:27
"Eric as you're maker I command you." Eric stood up and gave me a look that said it was up to me to save him, as he walked back and he took the blonde girl with him down the stairs.
"Godric please don't do this, I don't want to lose you. I will keep you alive by force"
"Even if you could why would you be so cruel?" I started to cry I had to think of something to save him.
"Cruel? I am not being cruel yes I am sure you did awful things in your past but that's how you survived. That's all you're maker taught you to do. All of that is in the past not now. You saved me and you didn't even know me but still you saved me."
Godric smiled at me softly and bowed his head like he was ashamed.
"The time has come for me to go little one. I want this, I want to burn." Godric said to me as he walked towards me, but I shook my head at him.
"No Godric please I can't lose you. You are everything to me." As I said that godric's emotions flashed from horror to relief and then finally happiness and then sorrow.
"You will find happiness little one. Let me go. A human with me at the end and human tears, two thousand years and I can still be surprised."
I knew anything I say would not stop him so maybe actions can replace words.
"You know Godric when I was at your house and we watched Romeo and Juliet I thought that they are crazy how can you love someone so much that you would do anything for them? Whether it be take your own life or even start a new one together But now I understand what that feels like when you realise you're going to lose someone." As I talked I walked towards the end of the balcony ready to save someone I love even if it means I have to get hurt.
"Little one I know it hurts to lose a friend but please I need to find peace. I need to go and ask for forgiveness." As I stood there at the edge I saw smoke starting to rise from his skin, he was slowly starting to burn. I looked over my shoulder and saw the sun was starting to rise up.
"Godric I ask you one more time please don't do this. Go back inside and we can talk about this."
"I cannot Danalynne. I already made my choice to die when I offered myself to the fellowship of the sun."
The tears were streaming down my face but why I was crying I don't know because this plan had two ways to end. Either save the one I love or kill him emotionally for what I was about to do.
"Godric the sun is coming up I have no choice but I hope you can forgive me."
I lifted my shirt to pull out a knife I always kept with me. I took the knife in my right hand and before Godric could realise what I was doing I plunged it deep into my side. I could feel my lung starting to fill with blood and all I could taste was blood.
"Danalynne what have you done?" I saw Godric's face and I am sure he didn't expect me to do this and I could see he was angry at me. I dropped the knife on the ground and I lifted my arms away from my sides and now I was a human cross. "Godric forgive me but you are my Romeo." I whispered but loud enough so that he would hear me. And then I closed my eyes and fell backwards. As I fell I thought about Godric all the time we spent together and how much he taught me to live again in only one month. And then it all went black.
This had to be heaven I thought to myself. Here I was beautiful but that's not why I thought this was heaven. Godric was here dressed in all black but he never looked more gorges than now. Godric walked to me and cupped my cheek "you know little one I will always love you." And then he leaned in and kissed me, first I was shocked and didn't move an inch but then I felt his tongue on my bottom lip trying to gain access into my mouth and I opened willingly. When I felt his cold tongue on mine a spark went thru me and I kissed back fiercely wanting more of him. Godric pulled back and chuckled looking deep into my eyes. "I will always keep this moment with me. But it is time." Godric said and smiled sadly at me.
"Time? Time for what Godric?" I looked at him and he offered me a small smile just then two men grabbed my arms and pushed me to the ground on my knees. "Let go of me" I screamed at them but it fell on deaf ears I was about to yell at Godric to help me but I saw him take his shirt off. I didn't stare because of his upper body being naked. I stared and watched as a small blue flame started to burn in the middle of his back. "NOOOOOO" I screamed watching him burn to dust. After Godric was gone the men let go of me and I just fell to the ground crying feeling the loss of a dear friend and the love I have for him.
Coldness all I felt was coldness. Was I dead? I mean I had to be- I lost a lot of blood and fell off the roof.
"What happened?" I heard someone say but the voice was so far away and everything was black.
I tried to open my eyes but it hurt too much so I tried again and again, the fifth time I was able to open them. The moment I opened my eyes I saw Eric, those red tears still on his face. "I failed" I managed to say. I still felt weak and my side was still bleeding I could feel the blood running out of me.
"I'm sorry I failed to save him. But soon I will join him." I said as I stared at Eric. His eyes were looking deep into mine trying to make sense of this.
My eyes felt as if there were rocks on them getting heavier by the second. I wanted to let go, I was ready to go-to go to somewhere better than here.
I closed my eyes ready to go. I felt relief and happiness I was just starting to fade away when cold hands cupped my cheek, I knew Eric wanted to know how I knew godric but I was able to whisper "Eric let me go, so that godric and I can be together". Eric rolled his eyes at the human girl on the bed and he had to force himself not to bite her because her blood smelled divine.
"Stupid human open your fucking eyes". Eric said in a harsh tone but one look from godric shut him up.
"Little one open your eyes" I heard godric say to me. A small smile crept onto my face because I was now with him but I was still in pain. I didn't understand was heaven not supposed to be pain free, guilt free. The happiest place?
"Godric why am I still in pain?" I asked confused "Because you're still bleeding little one." Godric replied watching as confusion was written on the beautiful girls face.
I opened my eyes to see godric's face looking down on me, I felt so weak that I couldn't move much. Everything became a blur to me the last word I heard was "drink".
As godric left Danalynne to sleep he went to talk to his child.
"Why godric?" Eric asked his maker wanting to know why.
"Because I am tired of this world my child."
"NO not why you wanted to go-why could she save you but not me, why did you save her I saw in her eyes she didn't want to live anymore!" Eric spoke the truth when he looked into her eyes she looked so broken inside almost dead. He could see her soul was broken down and there were so much pain in her mixture of blue-green and grey eyes
"It is not just she that saved me it is you as well. And why I saved her because I couldn't let her die that young-to die for me."
Eric looked at his maker trying to see what the human meant to Godric.
"I take it you will not stay in Dallas so I ask of you to come to Shreveport and stay with me at my house."
"That is really nice of you my child but I must hear what plans Danalynne has."
"If it means she has to come with for you to be by my side so be it! But I at least want to know what she means to you?" Eric was really curious as to what this human girl meant to his maker. He knew Godric didn't keep humans for long before killing them but his maker changed so much since he has seen him. He could not imagine godric loving a human or even be kind to one. They were weak letting their emotions cloud there judgment and are just food for vampires.
"She is just a friend Eric nothing more." Eric thought to himself if she is not godric's he can claim her as his and her blood did smell delicious. "So she is not yours and is claimable?" Godric already knew what his child was thinking and he didn't want to see Eric claim Danalynne because he knew he would only use her and force her to do things she didn't want to do. "Eric you will not claim her. She means nothing to you so I will not let you claim her." "You know if she is not claimed any vampire will claim her so I will do it before someone else does. I will be doing this for her and keep her safe." Godric knew Eric was lying and he will claim her only for his benefit, he could not let Eric claim Danalynne so he had to do it himself.
"Eric I will not let you claim her she is mine." Godric stated calmly but his eyes held fury.
"I thought you didn't claim her Godric?" Godric was starting to lose his patience with his child. "Eric do not forget who I am. And I claimed her just now for both her sake and yours do not press on the matter for I have claimed her. You will treat her with respect. We should both go and sleep the bleeds will start soon" Eric wanted to talk more about the human girl but saw that godric was done speaking about it. "I will see you tonight Godric." Eric told his maker and walked out to his room to sleep. Godric walked to the bedroom and saw that Danalynne was still asleep, he was pretty tired because she took a lot of blood from him. Godric knew she would be asleep for a long time so he settled himself on the bed next to her, he wanted so bad to hold her but he could not be able to hold himself back if he did so he laid on his back and closed his eyes.
3 days later: as I laid on something soft I felt better than before but I felt coldness on the side of my face and my arm. It was cold but somehow I really felt safe I tried to open my eyes but when I did it was blurry but when my eyes came into focus I saw that I was lying on Godric's chest with my head and my arm was over his stomach. I was shocked that I was lying like that and quickly moved to the other side but I moved to far and fell off the bed with a thud. "ooooowwwwww" was all I could say as I held my head that hit the floor hard. "That was clumsy of you." I whipped my head to the side from where I heard the voice and saw the tall blonde man standing against the wall smirking at me. "I am not clumsy I was just moving away from him. And by the way what are you doing here?" I saw his smirk grew even wider and that made me want to run out the door and get away as far as possible.
"I was just only watching you sleep that's all" the way he said those words sent a shiver over my whole body. "That's all? What do you mean that's all what kind of creep are you that watches how people sleep." Okay maybe I was crazy to talk to a vampire like that but I had my reasons for getting angry I hated when people watched me sleep.
"it would be clever of you to not use that tone with me and I do not watch people sleep I only watched you because you were moaning in your sleep" I walked past him to the living room and sat on the couch trying to hide my face because I'm sure it was red from embarrassment because I remembered the dream I had and he had heard me moan I looked over to the clock and saw it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Aren't you supposed to sleep?" I asked him with my eye brows raised but the smirk on his face grew only wider and when he answered me I wished that I didn't ask. "I couldn't sleep when I smelt you're blood that is still on you at the places godric couldn't reach and not to mention you're arousal being really strong." Eric said with a smile on his face because he loved making people uncomfortable in his presence. "I'm sorry I kept you awake Eric, if you would excuse me I'm going to shower to wash the blood off." I quickly rushed to the bathroom because he probably knew what dream I had but it was about godric and in all my life I never have dreamed about something that detailed.
"Do you need any help in there?" Eric asked watching her eyes go wide in shock.
"I…uh…no no I will be fine but I do need clothes to wear my room is on the fourth floor number 415" she stuttered out fast not knowing what to say. "I will get you some clothes and have them ready when you're done." I nodded at him to say my thank you.
"Thank you I won't be long I'm sure you want to shower as well." I turned around and went into the bathroom shutting the door and breathed a sigh of relief. I walked over to the mirror and I looked more glowing than usual. I turned around and went to the shower once I had the water the right temperature I took all my clothes off. I looked down to my side to see a scar where the knife went into my side but how could that heal so fast. as I was thinking I climbed into the shower and then it hit me *I'm more glowing, no wound just a scar and I'm still alive and there was also that dream about godric* "shit shit shit no please no this can't be happening." I said to myself and sank to the bathroom floor shock taking over my body.
I don't know for how long I sat there just staring into nothing silently crying to myself. I sat there thinking about what happened before- I was so deep in thought that I didn't realise the water was as cold as ice on my skin, but I just sat there until the shower door was yanked open and I turned around to see Eric there. I didn't even hear him come in or walk towards me.
"ERIC get the hell out!" I yelled at him I was naked and I didn't even know this guy but he just comes in. "Are you out of your fucking mind?! Are you trying to kill you're self?" Eric yelled at me but I didn't understand what he meant- I wasn't trying to kill myself again. Eric stepped into the shower getting his clothes wet and picking me up bridal style. "Put me down!" I yelled at Eric but he kept on walking. "Fucking put me down now!" I was really pissed off because he just came in starting to yell at me and then picking me up while I'm naked and carrying me around like I'm some doll. Eric thru me onto the bed almost knocking the wind out of me, I saw him go with vampire speed and came back with blankets. "whhhat arrrre you doooing?" I asked and realised I was shaking really badly from coldness and Eric zipped to my side and wrapped me in a couple of blankets and sat behind me rocking me back and forth. "how didddd you know?" I asked Eric that was still rocking me "I waited for you to come out and take the clothes I brought for you but when you took too long I knocked on the door but got no answer and when I listened to your heartbeat I heard it was really slow and went in then I saw how blue your skin was and realised you were freezing to death." Only eric was lying he didn't hear her heart slow down he went into the bathroom before he even knew of what state she was in. "t…thank yo…you" I said still stuttering from the cold.
"I'm sure you can repay me somehow but for now shut up and save your energy."
