Two years later the 25 birthday of Cathrine Northman the entire family was there even Karin Slaughter when a man Sookie Stackhouse- Northman hadn't seen in years drove up to the house. Desmond Cataliades followed by Diantha walk in the front door.

Finding there way to the kitchen Desmond Cataliades stated, "Sookie you have taken to being a vampire quite well..."

With the breifest of smiles Desmond Stated in a business tenor, "it's your daughter I am here to see today. "

It would appear that your daughter has a benefactor..." said Mr Cataliades who reached into his briefcase and produced a legal document.

Sookie took the document and read it scanning the document she read:

I Lilith of Mesopotamia leave in trust for Cathrine Northman the sum of Ten Quintillion US Dollars to be given to her upon reaching her 25 birthday. Witnessed by Helen Magnus Signed by Lilith of Mesopotamia

"ERIC" Sookie Said in a wobbly voice, holding out the document "Is this Legal?"

"According to vampire and human law... yes love it is"

Karin looked at her maker Eric and stated, "You know Lilith...!"

Smiling Sookie told Karin offhandedly, "She is my Maker Karin"

From the backyard came the familiar voice of Elle asking, "Someone mention my name?" Elle walked in the back, followed by her latest Sire Anna asking, "Has she seen that document yet!"

Sookie gave Elle the document saying, "This is too much!"

Elle looked at Sookie and said, "I have been gathering wealth for over nine thousand years... i still am... With just the interest alone"

With a light chuckle Elle said, "I could bail out the entire world and still have enough money to live on for centuries!"

"Eric who is she" Asked Elle pointing to Karin.

Eric stated "Lilith meet my eldest Sire Karin Slaughter"

Karin did some quick mental gymnastics thinking "Lilith of Mesopotamia... she is a myth... even in the Vampire Bible!"

Lilith looked at Karin and said, "The Vampire Bible is a bigger work of fiction then the one they wrote about Christ"

"That Vile of Blood the Authority keeps proclaiming as mine... its not"

Shaking her head Elle said grumbling, "It's my daughter's blood not mine Karin!"

Lilith looked at Karin and said. "Long story... but she looked enough like me to masquerade as me and she did"

20 minutes later Cathrine Northman walked into the front door saying, "I'm home... Aunt Elle is here?"

Karin Listened to Cathrine as she walked in asking Eric, "She is your daughter?"

Beaming with pride Eric said, "Yes Karin she is..."

"Then why does she have a heartbeat" Karin asked confused.

"Karin" Eric Said "Cathrine was born not made... she is a Dhampiresa"

Desmond Cataliades stepped forward saying, "Cathrine Northman... Lilith of Mesopotamia left instructions with me to give you this if you reached the age of 25"

Cathrine read the document carefully then looked at the woman she knew only as Lilith asking, "This is mine..."

Lilith stated give me your copy of the bequeathment, using one of her razor sharp teeth she pricked her finger then took Desmond Cataliades's quill writing her full name in blood.

Then instructing Cathrine to do the same saying, "That way another devil can't challenge it"

Watching the events Karin asked "why not use any old source of blood"

"My blood has very special properties" Lilith said chiddingly "No other vampire has those exact properties... even my sires"

"Care to elaborate" Karin asked By this point it was 10:00 in the morning and it was full sun, looking at her Sire Sookie, Lilith asked, "Any particular potted plant you want to get rid of?"

Sookie just gave Lilith a knowing smirk Sookie said, "Begonia... by the lounger"

Walking to the back door Lilith stated, "You no fun making me give up my biggest secret first thing"

Karin for her part ran after Lilith stating "The Sun... it will burn you"

Letting loose with a silent chuckle Lilith walked out the door into the sunlight grabbed the plant and walked back in with not even a scorch mark to show for it.

Karin just looked at her slack-jawed asking, H-How" Lilith put the plant one the table looked right at Karin and said, "Watch"

Biting her wrist Lilith held it over the plant as two drops laded on the dirt and withing second the plant was a shriveled up dead heap. Telling Karin, "Not even Sookies blood can kill that fast"

Karin just looked at her slack-jawed and pointing out back asking, "H-How" once more. "I am a fist generation vampire... I walked along the streets of Sumer 9000 years ago"

Lilith told her "The first generation could walk in daylight"
