Midnight, Eric Northman, his daughter Catharine "The Sheriff" and Elle stand on street corner in outskirts of the ninth ward in New Orleans. Looking down the street, they can see row after row of condemned houses in various states of demolition, the perfect place for a vampire to hide!"

Elle narrows her gaze looking at Catharine the young sheriff telling her in commanding tone. "Catharine" said Elle, "From this moment on..., if I tell you to do something you do it no exceptions... no questions asked"

Catharine looks at Elle protesting "but I want-"

Elle becomes increasingly more annoyed with Catharine insistance, her eyes begin to glow red looking at her she replies, and "I can make you obey Catharine, though I would rather not."

Catharine's brows slanted inward to the bridge of her nose causing a furrow as her annoyance with Elle building into anger asking in a raised tone of voice "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ELLE!"

To Catharine's surprise, her father Eric who answered her question, "Catharine you have drunken her blood you will have no choice but obey her. Catharine states with anger in her voice "but I was born not made."

"True Enough!" Elle tells her in hushed tones. "However, I can compel you to obey, most vampires can compel humans, however I can compel vampires."

"Beyond that Catharine..., I can arrest and detain any sheriff if needed!" Elle told her. Lowering her voice to an infrasonic whisper Elle told her, "The one we hunt tonight was there when Rome was founded in 728BCE you are only half vampire."

Motioning with her hand Elle said "Be quite Catharine!" said Elle is a whisper "We are not the only ones here at the moment."

Using her infrasonic speech Elle calls out into the darkness "Come out where I can see you Rowan!" Closing her eyes and waiting Elle called out the Rowan... She said, "I will not ask twice" Scanning the darkness she looked at the exact hiding spot Elle said "Come out... Now"

From a darkened ally just ahead of them to the right comes a female voice telling them "I am here!"

Sha-REE-tah said "Elle how many have you made?" Charita looks at Elle blank faced and without expression saying, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Elle gave Charita a sideways glance Charita's body fell to the ground every muscle quavering in pain Charita's body twitched and quvered in pain as her face contorted. Her very flesh started to smoke

Catharine screamed out "YOU'RE KILLING HER."

Without taking her eyes off Charita Elle calls out, "CATHARINE BE SILENT." There is only one law higher than the one she has broken this night.

Catharine started to voice her objection once more only but stopped be her father Eric telling her "That was not a request Catharine, she was commanding you."

Turning her full attention back to Charita, Elle asks "how many children have you turned!"

Charita manages to cough out through the pain "I am not acting alone."

The name Sha-REE-tah, Elle commanded in a pentatrating tone, "You will face the final death for your crimes no matter what..."

With glowing red eyes Elle said, "whether it is a quick death or a slow one is up to me."

Who... are... you? Asked Charita!

"I am a millennium vampire..., like you Charita...!" Elle said raising her Eyebrow at her she said, "I have several thousand years on you."

Elle's eyes begin to glow brighter red and her and hand becomes ashen colored with claws as a dark energy surrounds her hand she swiped Charita's arm saying "Give me there name."

Coming round in front of Charita Elle told her "The wound has been contaminated with my own brand of venom..."

"It's an excruciatingly painful way to die even for one of our kind." Elle said in a cold honeyed tone.

Blood started flowing from her mouth and eyes Charita whispers to her "Elijah Saint Clair" his name is Elijah Saint Clair.

Elle enters the abandoned home carrying a large bag to find two dozen vampire children.

"Papa!" Asked Catharine fearfully "what's in that bag?"

"Silver chains..., and stakes Catharine!" her father told her

Elle emerges from the house 30 minutes later covered in blood. Charita looked at her you couldn't not in such a short time not all of them. Elle looked at Charita asking her "You really have no idea who I am do you Charita!"

"Who..., who are you!" Charita asked.

"Do you want my true name or just the most recent?" asked Elle

"Your true name!" said Charita!

History knows me as Lilith she said. Elle rounded on the woman telling her in a chiding tone of voice "at least I didn't make you kill your own children Charita." Now when is your mate due back? Lilith asked sharply!

After a breif interogation Lilith said, "Sheriff take her into custody."

Charita bellowed "The poison what about-" She blurted out "You're the founder of my linage my makers, maker was your sire Lilith."

Elle cut her off asking, "What was their name?"

"Elijah never told me her name.., she had no bite mark of oragin!" Charita told them.

"Lilith" Charita said, "She was the spitting immage of you

Iltani what are you up to Lilith thought to herself.

Catharine looked at Elle asking, "What about her mate?"

Showing his fangs Eric says in a honeyed tone "very shrewd!"

Dumbfounded Catharine looks at her father.

"Catharine" Eric exclaimed, "As long as we have her, we don't have to find her mate!" he pauses in momentary silence before saying, "He will find us."
