Hello again! Wasn't this uploaded much sooner than usual. Since posting the last chapter I received so many wonderful reviews, I know everyone says this but I really appreciate the time you take to write your reviews, they really do mean the absolute world to me. So please continue to provide me with this inspiration.

This chapter is a filler one. I know at the end of the last chapter I said this is where it gets interesting but I thought that this was needed. Let me know how I did :)

Chapter 16

Sookie

Over the next few days the enhanced vision did not change one bit. In fact I could swear it was even stronger than before. I can now make out every detail on people's faces, see greater distances and easily track the movements of vampires at their top speeds. It was almost good, apart from the feeling of dread that accompanied it.

One thing that is strange though, is that I haven't really heard from Eric and Godric over these last few days. I don't know if they are reconnecting or just overly busy, but it is different from what I am used to. Not to bite a horse on its butt or anything but I am starting to worry. Things haven't been this quiet in a long time, and when it is, it usually this means some impending doom is about to occur.

But I suppose I should look on the bright side and enjoy my time relaxing to the best of my ability.

"Tonight" I said to myself. "Tonight I will go and see them"

With that sorted out, I decided to spend the day in the garden, relaxing.

Eric – that night.

It has been 4 days since Dallas and Godric still hasn't really explained to me how he met Sookie. This is one thing I do not understand, we have always been close, on more than one level but I am dumbfounded right now. I do not understand why this is not something he is going to freely share without my having to pry.

Shutting down my computer I start to ponder why it is so important that I have to know this. However, before any logical conclusion could jump into my head I was interrupted by the exact person I want to speak too.

"Eric, my son" Godric says while entering my office "What is troubling you?"

Sitting up I look my maker in his eyes. He looks so tired. Despite our being forced to shut down every day he does not look like he has been resting properly and this worries me.

"Godric, I am fine but is everything alright with you?" I asked "You look like you are worried by something"

"I am" He states. This troubles me, knowing my maker there is not much that worries him, unless it's dire. "It is Sookie" I sit up in my chair, this has me shocked. What is it about this woman that troubles both Godric and I.

"What is it Godric? What has you looking so troubled?"

"She is Fae Eric" Well wasn't that the biggest statement of the century. A Fae!

I have only met them a few times, and out of all of those times never did a Fae last more than a few moments. I know Godric has befriended a few and since then has kept me away from his 'friends'. Now I know why this woman is so enticing and how she has managed to capture the attention of the two strongest vampires around.

"I can understand how this may be a bad thing, although I am guessing that this is not all you have to say on the situation" Knowing my maker like I do, there is another bomb he is about to drop.

"You are right as usual Eric, as I just said she is Fae but that is not the only problem. To begin with, she has no clue as to what she is and coincidentally has only just come into her powers. This is likely due to the stress of the situation at the FOTS church, and her shock at discovering that I am your maker."

"Well that would certainly do it" I said. Still there is something I have to ask him about "Godric, while we are on that matter; how do you already know Sookie?" After asking this question Godric just sat in silence for quite a few long minutes. How is it possible that both of us have found ourselves entrapped by this one woman?

"Eric as you know I have been sheriff in Dallas for a while and over the many years I held this position I found myself becoming uninterested in it all. I would often wonder around at the beginning of the night when everyone else was still at rest. During this time I would witness so much life, life which we are unable to possess any more. On one of my walks I happen to come across a beautiful young woman doing much the same." Godric paused to take an unnecessary breath "She was stunning Eric, only a little younger then she is now but as soon as I saw her I found myself captivated and a little bit shocked. Somehow this human was trying to push herself into my head, my first thought was that she was a witch and instinctively I dragged her into a nearby alley and held her against the wall. Because of this her fear spiked and her scent increased greatly and this just drew me in."

Godric snaps out of his story telling and glances up at me "As you already know her scent in very appealing, add fear to that and a vampire and you have a bucket of trouble just waiting to spill over."

"Oh I know this all too well, even when her emotions are stable her scent is still appetizing" My little Faery, she certainly has a way with attracting vampires.

"Yes you certainly are right there Eric. So after already connecting with my instincts and zipping her into the alley I proceeded to inhale as much of her scent as I could, I practically had her incapacitated up against the wall with my face right in the crook of her neck. Thinking back on it now I am ashamed of my behaviour, I pride myself of having such control but Eric I could not help myself. Her body up against mine, her scent filling my nose, I had to have her and I almost did"

I got up off my chair and walked around my desk to the couch where my maker sat. Extending out one finger I placed it under his chin and tilted his face up so I could look him in the eyes. I could tell that this thing that previously happened with Sookie was worrying him but it was nothing to be ashamed of.

"Godric, my father, this is just who we are, please do not be ashamed of your behaviour, and as you can see Sookie is well. What ever happened has not endangered her or put her at risk." My maker can be particularly sensitive at times, but that is what I love about him.

"But Eric don't you see, what I did with her that night, our unexpected meeting caused her to go looking for you, which incidentally then put her in danger at the FOTS church."

"Knowing Sookie she would have come and found us no matter what. She cannot stay out of trouble that one."

"I just worry min son, she could be having an ordinary life right now, she could be happy"

"Have you heard her voice that she in not happy with her life as it is? Yes it can be dangerous but it is also very exciting, which is something I think she has been craving for a while now."

I pull him in for a hug which he accepts with no hesitation. His head is resting on my chest, my arms are wrapped around him tightly trying to hold him together. My maker has spent the last few years detaching himself from all that makes him who he is. He needs to connect and feel again.

"Godric" I said. He broke out of our embrace to look up at me. "I know so much has happened over the years but please just come back to me. Seeing you broken is killing me, I love you too much to see you in this much pain." Next thing I know we are meeting each other in a kiss. I pour everything I can into this, all my love, sadness, happiness, every feeing I possess is displayed in this moment. During this kiss my connection with Godric opens partially, I am elated that he is re-establishing this with me.

I pull away from this kiss and look him in the eyes "I love you min fader"

He smiles and replies "I love you to min son"

We resume our kissing with smiles on our faces. This kiss is the kind of one I usually participate in. The types of kiss that usually leads to more, which thankfully it is. Our kissing turns to touching and exploring each other's body again. I couldn't be more excited or happier. It has been too many years since I have been with my maker.

I run my fingertips over Godric's back, feeling each muscle tense as I pass over it. He in turn repeats the same action which entices a growl in response. This simple touch from anyone else would probably not produce the same reaction but with him, well let's just say my black leather pants are feeling awfully uncomfortable right now.

Sookie

Arriving at Fangtasia an hour after dark was not ideal. The amount of people here is often ridiculous. I get the appeal, it is exciting and dangerous and this the main reason I sought Eric out after my meeting with Godric. I walked around the back and entered the club through the employee entrance, this was a much better and safer option. I close the door behind me I head straight for Eric's office lowering my shields on the way to see if Eric was busy or not. I notice that there are only two voids present and conclude that it must just be Eric and Godric. Opening the door, without knocking I might add I did indeed notice that while it was just the two of them, they most defiantly were busy.

Ok so I know Godric's part was a little sad, I was not feeling very happy today but after finishing this chapter I felt a whole lot better. I really enjoy writing, being able to escape into my own little world that I have sort of created can help me focus so much, despite the fact that I am not the best of writers.

Ok enough rambling from me, how did you like it?
