Chapter 1 : The Way I Loved You
I missed him. I wasn't complete without him, I was nothing without him…
We belong together…
I didn't know for how long I've been gone, a few months probably. I couldn't even remember, the only thing I knew was that I wasn't feeling very well. In fact, I was desperate, I was a wreck. I was completely empty inside, my heart was broken. There was a constant ache inside of me and I was the only one to blame for this pain.
I should have never left Godric, I should have never done what I had done. Leaving him was probably the worst choice of my entire life but then I knew it was the only choice I had at the time. If I had stayed with him, I would have never been perfectly fine with him. I would have always been angry at him for his decision and he wouldn't have been happy with me. Godric deserved better than what could have happened between us after everything.
However, I was still angry at myself for my decision and I would probably always be like that. I just hoped that if one day I chose to go back to Shreveport and to Godric, he wouldn't reject me. I had took a huge risk and I hoped that I wasn't going to regret it.
I also had to admit one thing, I was furious at Godric, furious because he hadn't tried to stop me. He hadn't tried harder, he should have fought for me… He should have chased after me when I left, he should have told me he loved me more than anything, that he couldn't live without me. All I really wanted was him chasing after me, searching for me.
I was such an hypocrite to think that but that was exactly what I was feeling.
He loved me but that wasn't enough for me at the time. How stupid I had been…
I was thinking about him every night, he was the only thing on my mind. I couldn't help but want him. I was haunted by his face, his smile, his laugh and everything about him. Everything was making me think about him, even looking at the sky made me think about him.
I had even imagined him one night, yes I was going completely crazy. I had been sure that if I turned around, he would be there but that night he wasn't.. Just like every night. I was going insane.
However, he was not here, he was not in New York with me. I was completely alone with my pain and my stupid pride, wishing I had him.
Yes, I was too proud to go back to Shreveport so soon and tell him I needed him… And tell him I couldn't live without him. I couldn't admit in front of him that I had made a mistake.
Would he ever forgive me for what I had done to him ? Would he ever love me after that ? I couldn't be sure. If I was him, I didn't know what I would do. This was such a complicated situation and I just needed to stop thinking about this whole mess. At least, I just needed to try.
And the only way to stop thinking about it was to think about something else right ? And I had something on my mind, something not really pleasing and it concerned Sookie Stackhouse. I had given her my blood, we shared a small bond but I wasn't feeling anything. I had been like that since my departure from Shreveport, as if Sookie had disappeared or died. That was just impossible Sookie couldn't be dead, if she had died, I would have felt it. That was why I couldn't understand why I wasn't feeling anything coming from her. This was just completely impossible, except if fairies had to do something with that. Fairies… I hoped that Sookie was with them, she had to be with them.
Anyway, I was now in New York, wandering around the streets. Arthur and I had always liked this town because we had always found humans to have fun with. Of course, time had changed and I wasn't using humans like I did before, but then New York was still one of my favorite place to be. I always found willing human to feed from and that was rather great. I wasn't in the mood to glamour them.
Tonight, I wasn't hungry, I was just walking and looking at all those humans. Some of them seemed just so happy, so in love. I was jealous of them, so jealous… I wished Godric was here with me again…
I needed to get him out of my head… And I was going to do this by running away from all those lovesick people. And I found myself in a very deserted area. That was much better. Everything was silent, well as much silent as it could be in New York. At least, there was nearly no one.
I froze suddenly when the smell of blood hit me. So much blood, my fangs extended immediately. There was nothing I could against that, maybe I was hungry after all. I needed to know where all this blood came from. I slowly followed the scent which led me to a dark alley where someone was laying against the wall.
I stepped closer and I noticed that a young man was indeed dying right in front of me. He was covered in blood, he had probably been stabbed many times. I could see his sweet blood coming out from his numerous wounds. He was probably suffering a lot and the worst thing was that he was half-conscious. He was probably feeling everything, he was feeling his own death coming. That was awful.
I looked at him and wondered what he could have done to deserve such a pathetic end. He didn't seem like someone bad, on the contrary he seemed to be a good person. He was rather good looking and well dressed, as if he was coming back from a date. That was when I noticed something about him, something that make me very uncomfortable and something that make me smile at the same time. This guy looked a lot like my dear brother, the same eyes, the same hair and almost the same features. Of course, he wasn't my brother but I couldn't deny that they shared some resemblance. Wasn't that a strange coincidence to find someone dying who looked like my brother ? Oh yes it was and fate had a strange way to torture me.
It was like I was reliving the death of my brother. I should go away and let this man die, but strangely I couldn't help but stare at him, he was like a little experiment. I was watching him die and for the first time in my vampire life, I didn't find this very funny like it used to be. That was probably because he was making think about my brother.
Unconsciously, I got closer to him and kneeled in front of him. His face was also covered in blood, he had been beaten too. I moved my cold hand on his cheek and that was when our eyes met for the first time. He wasn't completely like William and he looked at me like I was going to hurt him even more. I could, I definitely could but that wasn't my intention. I may be a vampire but I wasn't that sadistic.
" What happened to you ? " I asked but didn't expect an answer. I was pretty sure that if he tried to talk, he would only hurt himself more. He could choke with his own blood and I didn't want to see that, strangely.
He was afraid of me, especially when I started to stroke his cheek. What was wrong with me ? Why was I being so kind with a dying human ?
And then, something hit me. A strange idea came in my mind and I was surprised. I couldn't save him, my blood would never work since he had lost too much blood and was dying… I would even say that he would very soon be dead but I could maybe do something else… I could turn him into a vampire, I could become a maker.
And this time, I was terrified. How could I even think about becoming a maker ? I had lost mine and I loved Godric. What if I started a new relationship with a progeny ? I couldn't deal with that. I loved Godric and it would be a betrayal if I made a child. However, I didn't have to share that kind of relationship with a progeny and I remembered something. Godric had once told me that I would make a great maker, so maybe here was my chance. Maybe Godric would be proud of me if I made a child.
And here I was again thinking about Godric while I shouldn't. This wasn't about Godric, this was only about this man and I. Godric couldn't take my place now, Godric couldn't rule my life. I had left him and if I came back, he would have to deal with everything I was and everything I had. My love for him wasn't going to rule my life. I needed to make my own choices.
What should I do ?
If I was being honest with myself, I wanted to turn him into a vampire because first he looked like William and then I wanted to save him. My blood wouldn't be enough so it was the only choice. Then I had to ask him if he wanted to be turned. I wasn't going to force him into becoming one of us because I couldn't deal with someone who didn't want to be turned.
" You're dying. " I started and watched him carefully. I wished he could talk so I would know what he was thinking. " I can't save you but I can turn you. I'm giving you the choice. Death or life as a vampire. What do you choose ? "
He stared blankly at me and I felt a little bit stupid, he couldn't talk so he couldn't answer me. " Okay, you're not making this easy right? "
I didn't know what to do, maybe that was a very bad idea. Maybe I should just leave him here. No, I couldn't do this, could I ?
" L-life. " He managed to say and blood started to fill his mouth.
Life… He wanted to become one of us, I was going to make a child but I needed to be quick because he wasn't going to last long.
I was anxious at the idea of becoming a maker but this was the right choice. I could do this, Arthur had been a great maker and I just needed to be like him.
" Then, so be it. " I said and hoped that I would be a great maker and also that Godric would like that if I came back to him one day.
" I'm getting worried about him. " Eric Northman said to his child as he stared at his maker.
Since the day she had left him, Godric had been depressed.
Godric was not himself, he was only a shadow and that was Elizabeth Adams fault. She had left him alone, she had destroyed his little happiness by leaving and now Godric was completely broken. Eric could feel him, and it killed him inside to see his maker like that. He was angry at Elizabeth for hurting his maker but then a very small part of him understood her.
Anyway, Eric was worried about Godric. He was afraid that he would try to meet the sun again and this time, without Elizabeth, no one could stop him. Eric could only hope that it wasn't going to happen, that Elizabeth would come back very soon.
" Can't you try to do something ? You're his child, Eric. You're the only one who can do something. " Pam said. She could feel her maker's pain because he felt helpless when it came to Godric.
" You know that I've already tried everything in my power. He doesn't listen to me. " Eric said in a sigh.
He had tried to spend more time with him, he had tried to make him think about something else but Godric was obsessed with Elizabeth. She was the only one he kept thinking about and Eric knew this. Godric loved her too much for his own good.
" He's scaring the customers, Eric. That's not good for business. At least, try to make him leave Fangtasia. " Pam said and put her hands on her hips.
" I need to watch him, Pam. If he leaves, I don't know what he could do. " Eric replied and shook his head.
He needed to keep an eye on his maker. He didn't want to lose him but he didn't know what to do.
" Then go with him and I'll take care of the bar. "
Eric sighed. Pam was right, he could leave with Godric. And that wouldn't be bad because he wanted to spend time with Godric and maybe help him. Eric knew he couldn't understand the way Godric felt but he could try. He wanted his maker back, he wanted Godric to smile again even if Elizabeth was gone.
" Alright. " Eric said and started to make his way towards his maker.
Godric was sitting on the bar, staring blankly at the crowd. He was empty inside. He didn't know what to do without Elizabeth, even if he had lived two thousand years without her. He was missing her like crazy every night. He wanted her to be here with him even if that meant fighting with her or worst. She had disappointed him, she had hurt him too much but he loved her anyway. He could forgive her, it would take time but he could do it because he loved her. Elizabeth was everything for him.
If only he had tried harder to make her stay, he should have done more but then would it have changed anything ? Godric wasn't sure because he knew how stubborn Elizabeth was. Somewhere deep inside of him, he knew that she had made her decision, he knew that she wouldn't have changed her mind.
And now, Godric was wondering where she was ? What was she doing ? Was she safe ? She had to be safe, she could take care of herself and now that Russell was buried in cement, nothing could happen to her, or at least that was what Godric hoped.
If something happened to her, he wouldn't even know and that was killing.
Godric was also furious at Elizabeth. How could she have left him ? She swore that she loved him but why did she chose to leave ? They could have started all over again, she should have at least tried to stay.
" Come on Godric, let's get out of here. " Eric said and put a hand on his maker's shoulder.
" I'm fine here, Eric. "
Eric shook his head. He knew how stubborn Godric could be.
" No, you're not. Now, come on we're leaving. " Eric said and squeezed Godric's shoulder. He was going to make him leave whether he liked it or not. " We're going home. "
Godric sighed, he could leave with Eric after all. It wasn't like he had something to do in Fangtasia and it wasn't like Elizabeth would come here.
One they got back home, Godric laid on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. He was acting like a robot and Eric had honestly enough of this attitude. He wasn't even talking to him while they were together.
" Godric, please talk to me. I'm your child. "
" There's nothing to say, Eric. " Godric said. He knew Eric was worried about him, that was just so evident.
However, Godric wasn't in the mood to talk. He just wanted to stay alone with his pain and broken heart. He had thought about meeting the sun but he couldn't do this to Eric. And he didn't want to die to be honest. Even if she was gone, he still could live without her even if it was so hard.
" Even if she's gone, you can't stop living. She wouldn't want this. And it's not like she's dead Godric. I know you're hurt, I can feel you but you need to stop this. "
Godric didn't even look at Eric, he was only listening to him. Eric was right, she wasn't dead… But Godric felt like she was dead.
" As much as I hate to say this, she loves you and she'll probably come back. She just needs time. " Eric added trying to catch Godric's attention. Of course, Eric hated what Elizabeth was doing to Godric, but he knew she loved him.
That was the most horrible thing about this situation. Eric knew how Elizabeth felt, he knew she loved his maker but then she had to leave. If only Eric had tried to stop her, he should have done something else to make her stay. He could understand her choice somehow but he couldn't approve.
" How much time ? " Godric muttered under his breath. He didn't know how she would be gone.
" We are immortals Godric. Time is nothing. Just be patient, I know she'll come back and then you'll be together. " Eric said as much as he hated to say that. He was acting like a human, and it sounded so cheesy to tell those things to Godric. His maker was so much older than him and then he acted like a lovesick teenager… What was Eric supposed to do ? The only thing he thought he could do was comfort his maker and tell him that everything would be fine.
Eric knew that Elizabeth would come back one day. She loved Godric too much to stay away from him. The only thing Eric didn't know was how much time it would take…
" I don't want to be patient, Eric. I want her now, I need her, I- "
" -Then search for her, and don't stay here. " Eric said interrupting his maker. Godric wasn't making any sense, he was stupid, completely stupid.
" No, I can't do this. " Godric simply said and Eric wished he could do something to change Godric's mind. And Eric just didn't understand why Godric couldn't try to find Elizabeth but there's was probably nothing to understand with Godric.
" Then you'll have to wait until she decides to come back but please stop torturing yourself. "
A long silence followed Eric's words. Eric kept staring at his maker, waiting for him to say something.
" I don't even know what I'll do if she comes back. " Godric confessed. He had thought, dreamt about this moment when he would see her again but then he didn't know what he would do. He loved her, he wanted her but she had hurt him, left him. How could he forgive and forget that ? How would he react ? He didn't know.
" You'll have to wait, just don't act like a lovesick teenager Godric. You're my maker and I can't bear to see you so depressed. "
So did you like the first chapter ? I'm eager to know what you think about it. Just so you know, Godric will not be in the next chapters, I think he'll be back in the 4th or 5th chapter ^^ Be patient ! I hope you won't dislike that he won't be in the next chapters. Tell me what you think about it please !
Anyway, please leave me a little comment to tell me what you think about the first chapter of the sequel ! So please review ?
