15 minutes later, Lilith walked in the back door back to the human form of Elle. The only reminder that she was actually a vampire were fangs protruding from upper jaw, and the low growl coming from her throat as she said, "Amanda Broadway that is the only warning you going to get!"

Taking her seat once more Elle told Amanda, "Next time Sookie will not be able to save you!"

Lifting a glass of blood to her lips Elle stated in a silvery tone, "Like you Sophie Anne tried to harm CathrineThey never did find the body."

Raising her brow Elise said, "That's because you redused her to ash"

With her mouth gaping, Amanda looked at Sookie for any kind of rescue, her eyes pleading.

Sookie looked at Amanda stating, "Like I told you Amanda don't expect me to rescue you!"

Drinking a glass of blood, Sookie told Amanda, "I wasn't even a few weeks pregnant and Queen Sophie Anne wanted to kill me…"

Leveling her gaze on her old freind Amanda, Sookie told her, "unfortunately for her she didn't know who my protector was until it was too late."

Looking at her old friend Amanda, Sookie told her, "I really don't have any space inn… besides I didn't think you would want to be in houseful of vampires!"

Later That Evening

Eric Northman hadn't seen his sister Nora Gainesborough since the night they both went to visit the vampire authority where Lilith formally denounced the religion founded in her name. That was two years ago.

It was nearing sunset as Nora Gainesborough lightly touched down in the back yard, as her feet touch the ground Nora's light brown hair wrapped around her neck and face before moving to its original position draping down the back of her neck. Eric Northman was out in the backyard in a blur to greet his sister.

Looking at Eric, Nora stated, "Alright I'm here Eric… now who or what is so important!"

From the back porch, a brunette woman told Nora, "I asked Eric to summon you…"

"You were locked up in the cell the authority when she visited denouncing the religion founded in her name!" Eric told Nora.

Razing her eyebrow to a high arch Nora asked Eric quizzically, "Who is she… Eric!"

Grinning like a Cheshire cat Eric told Nora."My wife's maker of course Nora"

Smiling at his sister Nora, Eric told, "I have someone I want you to meet… In a sense you already have met her."

The five foot, three-inch brunette woman weighing approximately 110 pounds walks off back porch and out to the yard stopping beside Eric Northman. The woman turned to Nora telling her, "Your brother tells me unlike the rest of the authority you sincerely believed in Lilith… Is this true Nora?"

Nora looked at her brother confused, not sure what to make of this new-comer stating in a tremulous tone, "Yes suppose it is…"

Eric's thinks back 25 years to the day he arrived at the sanctuary chuckling telling Nora, "I wasn't looking for Lilith Nora… but I found her Nora…"

"More like she found you" The brunette said sarcastically.

Sipping his blood Eric said, "You have been looking for her your entire life and have yet to meet her!"

Nora looked at her brother even more confused than she was asking skeptically, "Eric what is that supposed to mean!"

The brunette woman known only as Sookie's sire finally ended Nora's toment as she walked down off the porch and replied to Eric's comment, "It may be more precise to say Lilith found you Eric."

That comment got Nora's attention

Gesturing with his hand to the brunette woman Nora has been speaking to for the last 15 minutes Eric told Nora, "Meet Lilith of Mesopotamia."

"Nora, this make takes explaining!" Eric told his sister

"To say the least Eric!" Nora replied.

Eric handed his sister the second glass of blood laced with whiskey. Nora took a sip of blood laced with whiskey stating, "Good whiskey!"

15 mimutes later

"Where to begin" Eric mused, as he looked at Nora Eric began his tale telling her "It all began 25 years ago when Sookie busted into Fantasia carrying a bag of three positive pregnancy tests!"

That statement got Nora's attention; even Nora knew vampires can't have children. She looked at her brother with a raised eyebrow

Sookie came walking out to the yard to contribute her part of the tale telling Nora, "Your brother of course thought I cheated on him…!"

Nora thought for the first time "vampires can't have children… Can they?"

Lilith told Nora in a sotto tone, "A biological child between the vampires and a mortal is possible…"

Grinning at the long forgotten memory Eric told his sister Nora, "It wasn't until one night Sookie went out hunting that I began putting the pieces together Nora!"

Then another person who could have been Sookie's sister came out telling Nora, "Nine months later I was born"

Nora looked at her brother with a raised eyebrow stating, "Surely you don't expect me to believe this is your biological child Eric!"

Lilith looked at Nora asking her offhandedly, "What do you ears tell you Nora!"

Nora listens very carefully to Catherine's heartbeat stating, "Her heartbeat is fast, other than that she seems normal…"

With a look of bewilderment on her face Nora stated, "However she feels like a vampire"

Lilith told Nora, "Catherine is half human!"

Nora looked at Eric asking him, "Is Sookie your sire?"

Looking at his sister Nora, Eric smiled as he stated, "Sookie is sired to Lilith, Nora"

Taking in the new information Nora asked, "Why is it we can no longer give birth?"

Lilith looked at Nora telling her, "Having read your vampire Bible I will say this much, it did get one thing right I was made by the hand of God…"

Musing at the long forgotten memory Lilith said, "Though not to be Adam's wife, I was meant his wife of Gilgamesh…"

Looking from Nora to Sookie Lilith explained, "I was resting in my tomb near Mesopotamia when Sookie woke me from my nine millennia slumber… or rather I should say Catherine did!"

30 minutes later being alive for nine millennia does have some advantages Lilith was quite practiced at hiding her emotions and facial expressions "Warlow… You've come in last!" Lilith thought to her self.

Without any further explanation Lilith told them. "Everyone go in the house… Do not invite anyone inside until I return… And I mean anyone"

Looking at her maker Sookie asked, "Elle… Lilith what is going on?"

Turning to face her sire Lilith told Sookie, "Another one of my progeny have come home to roost… I believe his name is in the Bible you hold so dear Nora, you know him as Warlow."

Taking two steps Lilith turned telling the group, "I know him as Ariistuun… My one advantage is he thinks I'm dead!"
