I didn't like how 'I will Rise up' ended, therefore, I re-wrote it. If you guys like it, I'll keep going. :] This is set on the roof, right as the sun is coming up.
"A human with me at the end," He said in shock looking at Sookie, "And human tears. Two thousand years, and I can still be surprised."
Sookie looked back at him, unsure what to say. They stood in a moment of silence, while she tried to contain hysterics. He didn't deserve this. Sookie could see that he was beginning to smoke, she had to stop this.
"In this I see god," He continued in astonishment, pleasure, and contentment.
She couldn't let him do this. Sookie had come up the stairs to say goodbye, or so Godric wouldn't meet the sun alone, or that was what she'd thought. He held his hand out to her and began to turn to face the sun he hadn't been able to experience in two thousand years. She couldn't bear the silence.
"Godric." Sookie Stackhouse spoke meekly through tears.
"Yes?" He turned to her, still smoking as the sun rose up.
"Please," She spoke through her tears, trying to keep calm, "D-don't leave me."
This was a surpise, Godric could see the girl's secerity. She didn't want to lose him. But he wanted to meet the sun, didn't he? He was ready, he'd lived two thousand years and there was nothing left for him, "I have to."
"Just give me one more night with you." She choked out, distressed.
Without a word, Godric ran for the stairs. He didn't have time to think or speak, he was nearing flames. Sookie ran after him, estatic. She couldn't move fast enough, she couldn't wait to meet him on the other side of the door. She whipped it open and stood, looking at the man who had saved her life. She wasn't sure what to say.
"One night." He said calmly to her, "I give you one night to convince me there is reason to keep going in this life."
Sookie didn't speak, she just wrapped her arms around Godric and cried. What would Bill think? He was asleep at the moment, and wouldn't notice her gone for at least a few hours. He slept like the dead, she mused. She'd saved Godric when even Eric couldn't, she couldn't leave him now.
"Come on," She said after finally regaining control of herself, "We need to get some sleep."
"We?" He questioned, with a raised eyebrow, trying to figure out what she was insinuating.
Sookie laughed, "What? How do you think I could maintain a relationship with a vampire? I have to sleep sometime."
Godric nodded, "You're right. You should return to Bill."
"No, I will not." Sookie said as sternly as she could, "I just stopped you from killin yourself as a favor to me." Her voice grew softer and more meek, "I cant leave you now."
Godric grabbed the girls hand and walked her down to Eric's room wordlessly. He was in shock at the girls attachment to him. Was it simply because he'd saved her, or was there more to this than he'd thought up on the roof? The door to Eric's room wasn't even closed all the way, and through his sadness, Eric must not have heard them approace. But when Eric felt a hand on his shoulder, he didn't believe it when it was Godric's.
"You're?" Eric couldn't say more.
"You can thank Sookie for my life." Godric said turning to the girl who was more than pleased with herself, "But we will discuss this more later. We have to get some sleep." Godric put a hand on Sookie's shoulder and began to leave the room. They were followed out by Eric's jealous eyes. Had Godric accomplished stealing the heart of Sookie Stackhouse? Was there anything he could do if he had? More bloody tears streamed down his face, and he had to look away.
"You have a beautiful soul," Godric said to Sookie before opening the door to his hotel room.
"So do you, Godric." She replied, looking down unsure of what she was planning on happening after the door shut behind them.
