True Blood

Don't You Feel Me

I couldn't breathe I was under the water and for the life of me I couldn't understand what was holding me down or how I got here

"I love you, sweetheart. I do. I'm so, so sorry. You'll be safe from that monster forever!" I hear Lafayette say from above the water and I shake my head confused but the I resurface as I feel the weight leave my body and someone grabs me when I look up I see Warlow carrying me he quickly places me on the floor and I catch my breath 

"You're okay, Meghan. I got you. You're okay. I got you. I got you. It's all right. Oh, Megs." he says as I start coughing up water

"Oh, my sweet, precious Meghan" Warllow says touching my face 

"She'll never be yours!" Lafayette screams coming towards us and I watch as Warlow growls before attacking Lafayette 

"No!" I scream 

"Don't! I said, don't! It's not him talking. It's the spirit of our father inside him." Sookie says as she rushes through the woods 

"Dad?" I ask and when Warlow throws a light at him I watch as Lafayette falls to the ground 

"Lafayette?" I ask and he looks up at me confused 

"Megs?" he asks 

"Is he still here?" I ask talking about my father and Lafayette looks to his side before nodding 

"Tell him to get the fuck out of my life. Forever." I cry 

"So let me get this hetero straight. So you's a vampire that can come out
in the daytime." Laf asks Warlow who sits next to me 

"Yeah, in a nutshell." Warlow responds 

"Oh, there goes the damn neighborhood." Lafayette responds and I laugh but then Warlow crouches over in pain 

"What is it?" I cry 

"Lilith. She let me save you. Now she's calling me back." he says and I realise he's talking about Bill as I step in front of him to stop him from moving but he just throws up blood 

"Listen to me, Warlow. He's gonna kill you. I know a place where we can be safe from him... but I'm gonna need your help to get there. I need you to take my hands. You saved my life twice. Now it's time for you to let me save yours. Now, take both my hands." I whisper and he does so grunting in pain but then I feel light surround me as we disappear

"Can you still feel him?" I whisper as I stand him up 

"No. No, he's gone." Warlow says looking at me and I nod 

"Good." I whisper 

"Megs I know you said you wanted to be left alone... but I'm gonna need you to tie me up. Night is coming." he whispers and I look up at the bright sun 

"The sun's right over our heads." I whisper 

"Here, because the sun will never set on this plane. But it's coming. I can sense it. And I don't want to hurt you." he says and I nod 

"Well, if you don't wanna hurt me... why don't you just not?" I ask and he sighs 

"It's not that easy. In my heart, I am still a creature of light. But when darkness falls..." he says and I shake my head 

"I don't understand. I've been with you at nighttime before." I whisper 

"Yeah, I know. And on all those other occasions, I had already fed. It's not something I'm proud of, believe me. I can't be trusted, Meghan, Grab some vines off this tree." he says and I quickly rush over to gather vines before tying him up to stone 

"You're a pretty old vampire. You sure that stone's gonna hold you?" I whisper 

"I've bound it to the earth with my light. It's not going anywhere. Get behind me, tie my hands together. Tighter. Seal that knot with your light." he whispers and I watch as light appear from my hand s and I quickly press them against the rope "That's good." he says 

"Okay, now what?" I ask 

"Now we wait. And we can talk, if you'd like." he says and I sigh 

"You know, I, uh... I really wish there had been some way... for you to not find out about your parents." he says and I shake my head 

"Don't worry about it. It's my fault." I whisper 

"No, listen to me. You are the only person in this who bears none of the blame. You've done nothing wrong, Meghan. You've done nothing." he says and I nod 

"All this time, I thought they loved me, but..." I whisper but then Warlow starts growling and I see his fangs appear as he struggles against the vines when he finally calms down I start talking to him 

"So you were born..." I start 

"3532 B.C." he replies 

"And you were made?" I ask 

"3500." he states 

"Okay, I can't do the math, but that sounds like... an awful long time to wait for someone." I say as I sit down 

"You're special." he whispers and I laugh 

"I ain't that special." I state 

"I want you to know something, Meghan I've done a lot of things in this unending lifetime of mine that I regret... but waiting for you is not one of them." he says before he starts grunting and I laugh 

"So how did you think it was gonna go? You were gonna show up with a contract... signed in blood, I might add... that gave you the right
to turn me into your angelic fairy vampire bride? I mean, that is seriously fucked up." I say sighing 

"The contract was written in the 1700s, Megs. Arranged marriages, they were done as a matter of course back then. If it makes you happy, when the sun rises on Bon Temps tomorrow... we'll go to your house and I'll tear up that contract." he says still grunting and I shake my head 

"Tearing it up doesn't change the fact that you wrote it out." I whisper 

"You know, I... I killed Lilith... because I despise what she's turned me into. I despise the pain, the aching hunger inside me. I despise what this hunger has made me do. But if you agreed to be mine, it would all be over. We'd be a closed circle, you and me. We could live wherever we want, go wherever we want, day, night. We would be everything to each other... because we would need only one another's blood to survive. I would never have to hurt anybody else. There would never be anybody else. Just you and me." he whispers and I growl 

"But I'd be a vampire." I spit and he sighs  "You know what the worst part about being a angel is? Knowing what people think about you." I whisper 

"Why do you think I spent the last 5000 years alone?" he asks but then this awful feeling comes over me 

They're in trouble the voices whisper
