Brighter Now

Chapter 14

Adira was laying in her bed, like she since she saw Godric few days ago, when Alice came in. Adira hadn't moved even when Sierra came knocking on her door.

"Adira, what's going on?" Alice asked her little sister, worriedly. Adira and Alice came along well but neither of them really enjoyed being around Alexander. Alice was ten years and Alexander eight years older than Adira but both Adira and Alice avoided Alexander when they could. It wasn't like they hated Alexander but she was 'the perfect daughter' and made her sisters feel like they weren't good enough.

"What are you doing here?" Adira asked her and pulled her covers over her head.

"Sierra came to see me. She and for some reason—Sookie Stackhouse are worried about you," Alice told her.

"Sookie fucking Stackhouse can drop dead!" Adira yelled.

"Adira!" Alice yelled shocked, "Did I just hear you swear?"

"Maybe," she murmured. Alice pulled her covers from her head.

"Really what's going on?"

"You know the usual; a girl falls in love with a vampire, the said vampire goes to save his child's girlfriend and loses his memory. So not does only said vampire not know me but calls me a fangbanger before trying to bite me," Adira tells her sister in a monotone voice.

"I'm sorry, Adira. What does Sookie Stackhouse have to do with this?"

"She's the one Godric went to save. Now Eric has her back but what about me? Once again, I have nothing," Adira said, crying.

"Don't say that," Alice said, hugging her, "Maybe he will get his memory back."

"Maybe," Adira said, uncertainly before hugging her sister tighter.

"Why haven't we opened yet?" Pam asked, walking to her maker. That's when she noticed all the dead bodies in the floor.

"What happened?" Pam wondered aloud, "You can't just eat all the waitresses, Eric."

"I was hungry," Godric told her, simply as he sucked blood from a heart.

"Clean this up, Pamela," Eric told her.

"Who was she again?" Godric questioned, after throwing the heart he was sucking to the floor.

"My child," Eric told him.

"Really?" Godric asked, scowling.

"Yes, master."

"But she's so—ordinary," Godric said, staring at Pam while she was cleaning after his food.

"Godric—"Eric started. He couldn't believe what Godric was saying. Godric had been happy, exited even, when Eric turned Pamela back in 1905. Godric had always enjoyed Pamela's company.

"She looks pretty old in human years. How old was she when you made her?"

"She was in her thirties, I think," Eric told her.

"Why was she so upset to see the bodies? She doesn't like to kill?" Godric asked, confused.

"It's not that, master. Things are just very different from what you remember," Eric informed him.

"That's what you keep saying, my child. Can you finally tell me what's the deal with that young woman you stopped me from feeding off?"

"Adira? You loved her deeply before your memory loss," Eric told her.

"Love? I'd never be that weak," Godric said, letting his fangs fall, "You shouldn't be that weak either, Erik. I saw the way you looked and acted with that girl after my memory loss."

"Love is not a weakness. You taught me that."

"I also taught you that feelings are beneath us. I'm starting to hate my future self. He sounds weak and he made you weak," Godric said before she left with vampire speed. Not so long ago all Eric wished was to have ruthless Godric back—now he missed current time Godric and he hoped to have him back soon.

"Pamela!" Eric yelled.

"Yes, Eric?" Pam asked.

"We have a witch to look for," Eric informed her.
