Timeless Devotion

Chapter 1 *

Sookie's terrified shriek filled the room when the basement door slammed opened, the force used to open the wooden barrier causing the sound to echo in the dimly lit room as it crashed against the wall with a thud that caused an echo. She couldn't help but shy away, Hugo immediately shouting out to the voice only to be met with silence.

"She's knows guys...you can let me out now!" he screamed out, his claustrophobia setting in as he grabbed the bars as if he could move them with his lack of force. He was a mere human after all.

"You're the traitor! How could you do that! To your nest, to your sheriff, to Isabel!" Sookie screamed at him, looking at him with as much disgust as her Christian nature would allow. She couldn't believe he had managed to hide it from his thoughts, the fact he had betrayed those who accepted him, the vampire who he had once claimed to love. It was disgusting.

"She wouldn't turn me! Do you know what it's like to change everything to suit them, missing meals, missing work and having nothing but them on your thoughts. Your sleeping pattern changing, giving them everything but then finding out they don't want to keep you forever! Do you know what that's like!" he screamed at her, Sookie shunning back as she looked at him with disappointment. She knew Isabel was going to be crushed when she found out.

"You're a horrible person!" she shouted from the other side of the cell, neither of them aware of the intruder slipping into the room with incredible speed as she made her way to where Godric was being held, her normally cold eyes shining with emotion as she caught sight of him.

He was sitting inside the small cell, not bound in anyway but she could feel how depressed and reserved he was. If she had known he wouldn't have snapped out of it like she had thought, she would have come so much sooner.

"You promised" she breathed so quietly that only he could hear. His head snapped in her direction, his eyes bright with surprise, adoration and hope as he caught sight of the woman in front of him.

She was pale, even for a vampire as her amber coloured eyes displayed her emotions in this rare occasion. Her hair a deep shade of auburn as it tumbled down to her mid back, the tight curls flowing over her shoulders as they brushed the perk mounds of her breasts. She was dressed in a simple yet enticing outfit, it being a black pinstriped suit which came to a few inches above her knee, the jacket perfectly tailored as the bright pink ruffled shirt she was wearing matched her equally bright and contrasting heels perfectly.

She was as gorgeous as he remembered, the girl appearing no older than 16 and while she was petite she was anything but innocent. His ears had immediately perked up when he instantly recognised her voice, it sounding like musical bells to his ears as he was immediately on his feet in the small cell and in front of her in the next second. It had been so long since he had seen her, and it pained him that he was the reason why.

"Luna" he breathed, his emotions erratic as he ignored the sounds of another entering the basement in favour of staring into her rare coloured eyes. The amber only served to entrance the pure power which radiated in the small girl. She was only an inch or two shorter than him, the perfect height as he remembered how he would pull her against his side to press his lips to hers.

"You promised Godric, so why are we here?" she asked, her eyes equally taking him in. His shortly cut chestnut hair, his suddenly life-filled eyes, the paleness of his complexion as well as the ancient tattoos which marked his skin. To others he was an ancient, to her he was a mere child.

Godric breathed in sharply, wanting to look away as to avoid the disappointment in her gaze but his body not responding to his thoughts. He craved her presence, he craved her.

"I am sorry, a bad lapse in judgment" he stated softly, neither of them yet taking note of the screams or shouts in the adjoining room. He may have once begged for death, to escape the world of evil and have a chance of being accepted into heaven, but with his angel standing in front of him he knew heaven was wherever she was. He no longer pleaded and hoped for death, his place was by her side where it would always be.
