Hello readers!
Promise I haven't forgotten about this one (or my other story, Nocturnal). I am coming out of my funk and am getting my mojo back. This chapter is a lot of plot and background of some of the loopholes from earlier chapters. I'm already working on the next chapter so there shouldn't be much of a delay in that one. Thanks for your support, and hope you like it!
Can you guess who Bill's Grandsire is?
Enjoy, and reviews are love :)
. . .
Bill strode confidently into the large scale hotel in Mississippi, his small carry-on bag wheeling behind him. He nodded to the front desk lady, who he had glamoured earlier for a suite under a fake name. His demonstration of his supernatural database was planned for this evening, at midnight, in the safe room of the penthouse suite he was in. Majority of the vampire monarchs would be attending as well as a few other powerful supernaturals.
Bill was about to become a very rich man. His maker, Lorena had not been pleased when he had failed his mission of kidnapping Sookie Stackhouse in order to pimp her blood, but he had regained her favour, along with his Grandsire's when he further developed his database. The database he had created was an ancestry program that tracked bloodlines as far back as the ancients, and could be passed on to the highest bidder for select permissions for the right price.
After using his connections with the Queen, and some very well placed glamoured donors, he was able to collect not only information but blood samples of some of the most important and powerful supernaturals. He had of course started with the nest of Sophie-Ann, as her donors were the most vast and easily manipulated, and then expanded to his Grandsire's.
Nothing like an ancient lunatic to fuel your own research. Distracted with marriage negotiations to Sohpie-Ann, and what she could bring to the agreement, he never considered that Bill could use both his business and personal relations to further expand his data. Then again, he was also bargaining with the Fae in order to develop the best and worst kind of supernatural.
A hybrid.
But their test subject had not been very helpful. His sanity had been a concern from the start, with his zealous religious background. Bill had found him after he had been bitten by a local were panther and he seemed a good test subject as he was likely to die anyways, and was cast out from the pack. But his turning did not go smoothly, and he needed more than vampire blood to survive. Sophie-Ann had miraculously thought of the idea to use Fae blood, after discovering her pet and future child had hints of the effects in her blood, however diluted.
Tasty and efficient. Bill licked his lips as he remembered the sample he had received. Sophie-Ann was hesitant to share, but came about quickly with some strong arming. Sadly the pet did not last long after the efficiency was in fact proven, and Sohpie-Ann lost another few brain cells at the loss of Hadley. All for the love of research. Bill's research had quickly evolved after that experiment, but he was quite upset that he could not test the long term effects after the test subject was killed in the foiled kidnapped of Sookie Stackhouse.
But Steve Newlin had never been very reliable anyways.
