The next morning Amanda Broadway & Bob, much to Amelia's displeasure she sees Eric and two other women. With the slighest hint of arogence and dissapontment Amanda stated, "I thought we got rid of you when I severed the bond. Looking at Amanda from the kitchen table was an Ash blond woman, a raven-haired woman and Eric.

The Raven-haired-woman spoke to Amanda telling her, "So you're the one who tried to sever the blood bond... and failed"

"It most certinly did not fail" said Amanda defyently.

"You most certainly did fail... you should have known better then substitute a love spell for a sealing spell" Said the Raven-haired-woman with an angry undertone.

"I see by your crimson color that I am right you were making up as you went... Vampire magic is very spacific get it wrong and bad things happen..." The Raven-haired-woman explained.

Taking a sip of blood as if it was a fine wine The Raven-haired-woman looked at Amanda with a stern gaze telling her, "I'll tell you the same thing I told Mr. & Mrs Northman 25 years ago, Amanda Broadway, I've knowen many a sorceries in my day..." Leaning forward she stated, "None of them would meddle in afairs of the heart lest they risk the wrath of Aphrodite"

"Who are you to question me?" Amanda said, as she turned crimson she could feel her anger strat building as she spat "What do you know of magic?"

This time The Raven-haired-woman looked at Amanda with razed eyebrow and anger in her eyes asking her, "You don't recognize me..."

Crossing her arms over her chest she muttered, "You invoke my name enough in your rituals" The Raven-haired-woman leveled her gaze on Amanda saying,

"The oldest vampire your likly to meet... I am Lilith of Mesopotamia" in anchent Akkadian her native tounge.

It took Amanda a moment to recognize the language and the dilect at first as she said, "That language has been dead for-"

Lilith cut her off as she chimed in with "9000 years Miss Broadway..."

Closing her eyes Lilith said, "You can come out now Sookie..."

Moments later Sookie walked out and Amanda was astonished at her apperence srtamering as she spoke "S-Sookie Y-You haven't aged... Are you still drinking..."

"No Amanda... i don't drink vampire blood any more" Sookie told her.

Pointing to Eric, Amanda asked angerly, "Did he turn you"

"No" Sookie told her with a smile.

"Then who" Amanda demanded.

"I did..." Leveling her gaze on Amanda, Lilith told her, "You have no right to make demands of anyone witch..., as to why that's up to Sookie to tell you!"

Right at that moment Cathrine Northman came out of her room giving Eric a hug saying "Morning dad"

Morning Dad Thought Amanda who asked, "Don't you mean master"

Karin looked at Cathrine giving her a wink stating, "She thinks your father made you..."

Cathrine said, "He did make me... the old fashoned way"

Blankfaced Amanda looked at the younger verson of Sookie doumbfounded

Karin and everyone in the room broke out in a fit of laughter. Cathrine stated, "Eric got mom pergnant nine months later I was born"

"Y-You're a H-Halfing" Amanda stated.

"Gach... I hate that name," Cathrine stated, "I'm a Dhampiresa..."

Cathrine looked at Sookie as she took a bite of her eggs asking, "What is she talking about!"

5 minutes later...

The fact that Cathrine was eating food threw Amanda's sense of reality into a tailspin as she stood there blankfaced once more as she watched Cathrine clean the plate before giving lilith a kiss on the cheek saying "Thanks for the scrambled eggs"

Lilith told Cathrine "Was making them for myself it was no trouble"

"B-But vampires can't eat solid foods" Amanda stated.

"Oh really" delared Lilith holding out her hand to catch the apple Cathrine tossed her, lilith not only took a bite but finished the apple smirking at Amanda saying "You were telling us how..."

Lifting the glass of blood to her lips she took a few swigs washing down the apple before finishing her statement "vampires can't eat solid foods"

"Amanda" Lilith said, "If I didn't undo your spell it would have killed both Sookie and Cathrine..."

Looking at Cathrine, Amanda thought Cathrine's blood in combination with spells... the result would be amazing"

Smiling at Amanda, Lilith said, "You even think about using her blood..."

Inclining her head twords Cathrine she told Amanda "It won't matter that you're an old freind of my sire I will kill you... They won't find the body..." Lilith said spitefully.

Amanda looked at Sookie and the expression on her face said "You going to defend me..."

"Like she said" Sookie comented "Even think about I won't save you"

"But the magical properties of her blood" Amanda commented. Lilith was up in a flash and her eyes became cold pulsating luminescent white orbs as she looked into Amanda eyes. Lilth was halfway through her transfomation as she stated in a shrill angry tone, "LEAVE CHATHINE ALONE"

Amanda looked at Sookie stammering "S-Sookie... H-Help"

Sookie dropped what she was doing and went over where the both stood saying, "Amanda"

Sookie comented "She warned youAmanda hell I warned you, but you had to go and piss off one of the oldest knowen living vampires"

From the front hall came a womans voice "LILITH... CALM YOURSELF"

"Elise" Called Sookie welcome.

"Sookie" Elise asked sofly, "Why is she mid transfomation"

"Elise..." Pointing to the person with the dear in the headlights look on her face she said, "This is Amanda Broadway she the one who tried to seal the blood bond"

"That still doesent explane why Lilith is ready to kill her" Said Elise matter of factly.

Sighing Sookie said in an exsasporated tone, "She is overly intersted in the magical properies of my daughters blood"

Rasing her brow Elise deapanned, "Ah... that would do it"

"Alric" Said Elise calling over her shoulder "Could you walk Lilith Outside?"

A man with light brown hair walked over and took the ash gray skinned Lilith outside. Turning her attention back to Amanda Broadway, Elise read the question on her face stating, "At the moment I am the woman holding your life in her hands, Miss Broadway"

Amanda stated "But..."

"Amanda..." Said Elise "You are fortunate that I showed up when I did, I am one of two people capable of defeating Lilith in open combat..."

Amanda gazed at Elise asking, "You're like her... like Lilith"

"No one is like Lilith, Amanda" Elise commented giving Amanda a sturn look she said "As far as using Cathrine's blood, I suggest you drop it..."

Looking at Cathrine, Elise told Amanda, "Count yourself you're lucky, the last person who tried what you attempted didn't have it so lucky"

"What did she do compell them" Amanda stated arogontly.

"No" Elise told her, "She reached inside their chest and pulled out their still beating heart, and dined on it"

All of the blood drained from Amanda's face as Elise told her, "Your freindship with Sookie saved you, this time don't count on it happening again"
