A/N: short filler chapter.

Eric had to take a phone call so you went searching for Godric as he'd disappeared on you. You found him on the roof. He looked out over the city, his hands behind his back. "I hope you're not still planning on dying today." You kept your voice quiet, not wanting to startle him.

He hummed, simply letting you know that he'd heard and was thinking about his answer. "I was decided. I would not be swayed from my path. Then you arrived."

He turned to you with a soft smile and you moved closer to him. His gaze ran over your face. "Why is it every time you blow into my life, my perspective changes? You are like no human I have ever met and it fascinates me."

You grinned. "Well, I am no human so..."

His smile flared briefly before dimming again. "You are human enough, little one."

"You do know that you're not much bigger than me?"

A shrug was his only answer. Then he pulled you into his arms and just held you.

Ever aware of the approaching dawn, you tried to separate from him, but he wouldn't allow it. "Godric, I love you and all, but if you don't want to burn we need to get inside. And if you do, you need to let go of me so I don't go with you."

He let you go then, placing a hand on the side of your face as his eyes studied yours. "Do you? Love me?"

"Yes," you said immediately. And you did love Godric. You had almost from the moment you met him, but it didn't compare to what you felt for Eric. Nothing could and the little god in front of you knew that.

His lips twitched into a small smile. He took one of your hands in his and linked your fingers together. "Come, little one. Let's find your mate."

A breath of relief flowed from you when you were safely back inside the hotel. Godric may still decide to meet the sun, but it wouldn't be today.

You found Eric in your room, he was still on the phone causing you to frown. What the hell was taking so long? His gaze shot to you as you walked in and relief flooded his eyes when he saw that Godric was with you. The two of them needed to have a long conversation.

Finally, he ended the call and slipped his phone into his pocket. "Your father expects us in Shreveport in three days."

He looked past you to his Maker. "Will you be accompanying us?"

"Perhaps."

"We can stay for a couple of days yet," you offered. "Can you make arrangements for Sookie and Sam to go home today? Oh, and Jason."

Eric arched a brow. "The male Stackhouse does not concern me."

"If you want a telepath to use in the future, make nice. She'll remember it."

He sighed as if it was the most horrid inconvenience before he sent a series of texts. "I forwarded the information to Sookie. Now, we should rest. Your body is still recovering."

You shrugged. "Not tired." There was only so much sleeping you could do.

Godric took your hand in his and tugged you toward the bedroom. "Then lay with us while we talk."

So, you found yourself in much the same position as the day before. You and Godric lay face to face and Eric molded himself into your back. He draped an arm over your middle and pressed kisses to your shoulders and the back of your neck as the three of you talked. And despite your claim that you weren't tired, you were the first of the three of you to fall asleep.

When he woke the next evening, Godric announced that he would accompany you back to Louisiana. Eric wasted no time making the arrangements for your travel. He'd just gotten off the phone when you received a phone call from Sookie.

"Where are you?" she asked as soon as you answered.

"We're still in Dallas. Why?"

"There is something strange going on here. We need help," the blonde rambled. You rolled your eyes. The only time you heard from Sookie was when she needed something. And she always needed something. At least when she helped you, she got paid for it.

You sighed and leaned back in your chair, aware that the two vampires with you were listening in. "I'm afraid I'm going to need more than strange, Sook. What exactly is happening there?"

"That's just it. I don't—"

You cut her off. "I don't need an explanation. What is currently happening that has you all worked up?"

She turned away from the phone to talk to someone in the background. A moment later, Jason's voice came over the line. "Hey. Everyone in town is acting crazy. Not like themselves at all. And for some reason they all seem to want to kill Sam."

What? "So mass psychosis?"

"Um...sure."

You pinched the bridge of your nose. "Okay. Go to the house and lock yourselves in. Take—"

"We can't. The house is trashed. It looks like no one's lived there for years. And some crazy hippie chick is running around talking about sacrifices and shit. I don't know what the hell is going on." It didn't take much for you to picture the panicked look in Jason's face.

"Can you get out of town?"

"I don't think so. Every time they see us, they cut us off."

You thought for a moment and sighed. "Look, Jason, there's not a lot I can do from here. Tell Sookie to call Bill. He'll help her. He doesn't have a choice. I'll check in later."

After you hung up, you tossed your phone on the table. "What do you mean Bill doesn't have a choice?" Eric asked with a frown.

"Bill is in Bon Temps because Sophie-Anne ordered it. I think he actually came to care for our telepath but that doesn't negate the fact he's there to spy," you explained.

"How did the queen even know of Sookie's existence?"

"Her current lover is Sookie's cousin. How's that for a small world?" Eric just looked at you wide-eyed for a moment before smiling and shaking his head.

"Do you not wish to send more help than one vampire?" Godric asked as he sat beside you.

You shook your head. "To put it bluntly, this is not a vampire problem. But, if more help is needed Bill should be able to get it from Sophie-Anne. Sookie is my friend, even Sam and Jason on occasion but I can't get involved in all of their problems. They have a lot of them."

He nodded. "Understood. So, we will return to your home this evening so we can meet up with your father in two days?"

"Correct," Eric answered. "There is business we must see to between him and the queen."

"You can accompany us. He won't mind," you added. And if he did, you'd just convince him.

Godric's dark gaze shifted between you and your mate before settling on you. "And tell me, just who is your father?"
