A/N: Just edited the whole story for any large mistakes I could see and am re-uploading it all today b/c I really didn't like some of the obvious mistakes.

~~~~~~~~~~~TruBlood~~~~~~~~~~TruBlood~~~~~~~~~~TruBlood~~~~~~~~~~

As Godric walked the streets of Dallas taking in the people, the sights and sounds with new eyes, the change in prospective had been a long time coming, he had grown tired of the constant killing and torture that was the traditional vampire life; he had little need to feed anymore age had its advantages, little blood was need to sustain him, so why continue to kill if he had no need for the blood. He watched the people, old and young, walk the streets enjoying the crisp, cool night, they were so care free, not a care in the world and in that moment he envied them, envied the peace in which they existed, the ease in which they lived and...died. Death was the one thing he envied most, to grow old and die, to leave the world behind and move on to the next plain of existents, whatever that plain may be, he often thought about meeting the sun but had never committed to the thought of walking out in to the sun, it seemed cowardly to simply kill one's self, but for someone over 2000 years old death did not come easy.

He stopped in front of a bar, one that did serve TruBlood, he turned and headed in the establishment, he had begun to drink TruBlood instead of glamoring unsuspecting humans in to giving them their blood, though truth be told human blood tasted so much better. He walked to the one of the tall pub tables and took as seat on the bar stool, he looked around the room it was just like any other human bar nothing special about it.

He saw a human female walking toward him, a waitress he discerned form her black pants, white top, apron and note pad, she was small, tiny in fact, she stood only 5.2 at the most and she was wearing heel so he guessed she was actually only 5 feet tall, she deathly thin making her look fragile, she was pale, almost as pale as he was, her hair was a rich dark alburn, and her eyes were a shocking shade of green, she was plain to human and vampire standards not a great beauty like some of the woman he had known and seen in his years on this Earth but there was something about the girl in front of him.

"Hello there," She smiled at him, her southern twang wasn't overly thick. "What can I get for you hun?"

She was young, he noted as she spoke, too young to be working in a bar legally. "A TruBlood A- if you have it." Godric expected her to either begin to fawn over him or run way in fear, but to his surprise her heart rate stayed the same and she showed not visible sign of being shaken by his order.

"I believe we do Sir, would you like it warmed up?" She asked as if it were the most normal thing in the world, though she no longer adressed him as 'hun' but Sir, she knew to respect him, smart little human.

Godric, for a brief moment, was inclined to think she was a fangbanger but one sniff and he knew that she had never been touched by any man human or vampire, the beast with in him purred think of what it would be like to take that innocents. "I would like that thank you..." He said hoping the creature would supply her name, though he didn't know why he wanted to know it but something about her was drawing him in.

"Fred." She replied and he raised an eye brow.

"Fred?" He chuckled softly.

She smiles. "It's short for Winifred." She explained.

The vampire nodded slightly. "I am Godric."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Godric."

She held out her hand to shake his before blushing, "Your kind doesn't shake hands does it?"

Winifred or Fred as she liked to be called went to pull her had back but before she could, Godric had clasped his hand in hers. "The pleasure it mine Fred." His stare was instance and it forced her to look away and blush even more.

She released his hand. "I'll be back with your TruBlood in a moment Sir." she turned and walked toward the bar.

She walked back to the bar picking up one of the serving trays before giving her orders to David, the bartender.

"David, I need 2 Apple Martini's, a pitcher of Green Light with 5 glasses and one TruBlood A- if we got it." She said loudly so her voice would carry over the voices of the other people at the bar.

"TruBlood?" David look appalled.

"Yes TruBlood A- and please warm it up." She had never understood peoples hostility toward vampires, sure they drank blood but they need it to live, so why hate someone who is just trying to stay alive.

He placed the other orders on her tray and slipped the TruBlood in to the small microwave. "Alex's ain't going to like you serving one of those things." He told her as he spat the word things.

She shrugged. "They have just as much right to be here if not more then us." Winifred said as he sat the now warm TruBlood on her tray.

"Dumbest thing I ever heard you say girl." He huffed and when back to taking orders.

She picked up her tray and walked back through the crowd dropping off orders as she went until all she had left was the Vampire's drink, she made her way to his table and plucked it of her tray and sat it in front of him.

"There you are, hope it's to your liking." She smiled a brilliant smile.

Godric didn't smile back but nodded. "Thank you." He pulled out a 20 dollar bill and handed it to her.

"Keep the change." He said as she took the bill.

She placed the cash in her apron. "Thanks, if you need anything else just flag me down." She spun on her heals before walking away and began to bus tables as she went.

As he watch he walk away he got another whiff of her scent, she smelled of Vanilla, sweat, and alcohol, it was natural not like most woman in this day and age that drenched themselves in perfume.

About a half an hour had passed as he watched the people and her go about there business, his TruBlood was only half drank, it tasted so different from human blood, it was stale and metallic and the consistency was also off, a shadow fell over him as he took another pull of the drink.

"Your kind is not welcome here Vampire." The large man spat out his face read and full of anger.

Godric set his drink down and looked up the man, he was build, muscular, 6.1, with light brown hair and brown eyes. "You serve TruBlood, one would think that my kind was welcome." He spoke in a bored tone; he caught a slight movement from the corner of his eye and saw the waitress, Winifred looking at the pair biting her lip and clutching the round serving tray to her chest.

"We have it for idiot kids that wanna drink it to be like your kind, but make no mistake bloodsucker, you are not welcome here." The man glared at him with hate filled eyes.

"Alex." A female voice called and both man and vampire turned toward the young girl.

"What?" He bellowed at the girl causing her to flinch back slighty.

"You're making a scene," She said setting down her tray on a table and gestured to the people no watching the confrontation. "why don't you just let Godric finish his drink and I'm sure he will leave peacefully when done." She looked to Godric who gave her the slightest nod.

The man snorted in disgust as he looked at her. "On a first name base with a Vampire, are you his little fangbanger? Is that why you served the bloodsucker you little bitch!" He yelled his face was now read as could be.

Several of the other man laughed as he spoke and other looked at her in disgust and nodded agreeing with Alex.

Godric got up from his seat and stepped toward the human. "Apologize." It was not a request, it was an order.

Alex look at the vampire and then to Winifred. "Both of you get out of my bar and don't come back." He turned to walk away but was stopped by a strong hand.

Godric grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back. "I don't like to be ignored." His voice was clam but emanated power.

"Fine, I'm sorry I ever hired the whore." The foolish man spoke causing the vampire holding him to tighten his grip and the man to wince in pain.

"Please just leave him be, do not be the monster he wants you to be." Winifred spoke softly and walked over to the pair lightly touching Godric's arm unsure if touching him was a good idea.

Godric looked to the girl and back to the man before letting him go. "You should be thanking her." He remarked as he turned and made his way toward the exit.

Winifred quickly followed him out of the bar and on to the dark street.
