Moments later Lilith raced down the drive in a blur of blue, white, and brown the vacuum created by her sudden absence dragged Sookie's hair and clothes after Lilith, Sookie moved the stray hairs back behind her ear looking at Nora's stunned expression stating, "You get used to it!"

Lilith headed to a nearby bayou the same area where she had trained Cathrine years earlier.

"Being a long time Ariistuun!" Lilith stated as she leaned against the aged tree.

Warlow was stunned to hear his true name spoken had been nine millennia since the use that name. Turning his head towards the direction where he heard the voice Warlow scowled as saw whom it was that called his name asking, "What are you doing here Lilith?"

Warlow stated, "I don't use that name anymore… That person is dead!"

Lilith still leaned against the ancient cypress tree telling Warlow, "This is my home now!"

Giving Warlow a sideways glance Lilith moved towards him and stated, "I know why you come Warlow… You came to fulfill the contract you made with John Stackhouse."

Crossing her arms over her chest Lilith was disappointed in her sire as she stated, "I've studied the document in question… as your maker I can void your contract and I have."

Warlow flew into a rage rage as he stated stated, "You had no right to interfere… As far as I'm concerned you're dead!"

Grinning at her sire Lilith stated, "That's exactly what I wanted you and the rest of the world to think Ariistuun…"

Taking a few steps forward Lilith told him, narrowing her gaze on her sire Lilith stated, "Vampire law is no different than human law in that respect… A contract signed under duress holds no validity!"

"I made you so that when I retreated from the world my daughter would have someone to care for her…" Lilith stated starply.

"You abandon her, why shouldn't I kill you where you stand?" Lilith askedhim.

Warlow's rage came to a head as he tried to incinerate Lilith with his mind. Lilith smirked at him telling Warlow, "You can't be serious, who do you think taught you how to do that in the first place!

Croessing her arms over her chest Lilith stated, "I may have taught you everything you know Warlow… do you honestly think I don't have a defense for that..."

Moving at the speed that Warlow could barely detect, Lilith was by his side in the blink of an eye with one of her razor-sharp fingernails to his throat telling Warlow, "I have more weapons than even my daughter knew of.… The Stackhouse family is off-limits!"

Warlow was rage was boiling over; he was used to getting his own way, he was used to being the strongest most powerful vampire in the world. Now he had to concede that title to Lilith stating, "what if I don't want to… what if I decide to after the Stackhouse family anyway?"


Moments later Warlow knew Lilith well enough to know when not to push her, Lilith's eyes started glowing red a sure sign that not only was Lilith angry but gearing up for a fight telling Warlow in a half growl, "Go after the Stackhouse family and I kill you… I killed my only daughter what makes you think I wouldn't kill my first sire!"

"Sookie Stackhouse is my sire, her daughter Catherine has drunken of my blood… This is the only warning you get Warlow leave now." Lilith finished her transformation and flew off back to the Stackhouse Manor.


5 minutes later Lilith in full vampire mode landed in the backyard Nora told "Sookie and her daughter to get behind her." Catherine looked at her aunt Nora and asked, "Why that's just Lilith!"

Angrily Lilith growled, "I told everyone stay inside… don't let anyone in Cathrine, Warlow like me can change form can become any one of you!"

Looking at Catherine disappointed Lilith told her, "Warlow can shift so easily he makes your friend Sam look like a novice!"

With a wink and a nod, Cathrine told the creature, "Lilith let's show at Nora something she's never seen before..."

Eric told her sister with a chuckle, "I'll bet the vampire Bible never covered this…"

As Lilith's transformation begins as groans of pain fill the air as the bones under her skin start shifting around back to the normal positions. Her bat like wings were slowly absorbed into her back and spine, as her skin tone starts returning to the normal pinkish/pale creamy white skin tone.

Having fully returned to her human form of Elle, Lilith told Nora, "Now you have seen my form… Not many have witnessed this and lived Nora"

Lilith ran the kitchen took a knife and a bowl holding her forearm over the bowl itself Lilith cut forarm gathering her blood in the bowl itself Lilith started writing something in ancient Sanskrit around the doorframe of the front door.

In a blur of motion, Lilith Spirited to the back door where she once again wrote ancient Sanskrit symbols in her own blood along the doorframe.

"It will not stop my sire permanently but it will slow down!" Lilith stated. "It's an old Babylonian incantation… It should keep you safe tonight"

20 minutes later Elle reached into her pocket and took out her cell phone, quickly scrolling through her contacts until she found a number she was looking for a local operator on the black market that deals only in human blood.

Lilith stated, "Алексей мне нужна кровь человека и много достаточно, чтобы поставить магические палатах защиты вокруг дома!"

"Alexey I need human blood and plenty, enough to put magical protection wards around the House!"

Both Eric and Nora spoke fluent Russian each of them giving the other a knowing glance as they realize what Lilith was going to do.

"АЛЕКСЕЙ мне это нужно до захода солнца ... Да?" Lilith stated, "Alexei I need it before the sun sets ... Yes?"

The next thing that Lilith did was to call the vampire donors hotline asking for 150 too 200 donors respectively offering triple the going rate to get them their within the hour! All of vampires present looked at Lilith asking her, "You're going to drink from all of them"

Catherine was a befuddled asking Lilith, "why did you order all the blood… and all the donors?"

Looking at Catherine Lilith stated, "I haven't done blood magic in 8 ½ millennia… I need to build my strength, to produce enough dark light for the magical wards I'm going to place around your house!"

Looking at everyone gathered around the kitchen table Lilith announced, "Those symbols I painted around your doors must never be taken down… They are last resort… only the people in the house at the time of the placement may come and go as they please everyone else, must be invited in..."

Looking at the group Lilith said that includes "Fae...vampire, and human alike, Catherine!"

Lilith had forgotten how talented Catherine actually was with her telepathy, in a rare unguarded moment Catherine was able to read Lilith's mind. A look of unadulterated horror came over Catherine's face as she turned her mother sire and said, "You're going to kill Warlow… your own sire!"

Lilith looked at Catherine and realized how far she had progressed telling her, "I'm the only one who can… When I made him 8 ½ millennia ago it was for my daughter, you see Catherine the way in the millennium vampire survives for every thousand years of life we sleep for 100 I knew my times close so I turned Ariistuun and he took the name Warlow!"

Taking a sip from glass of blood Lilith continued the tale of Warlow telling them, "100 years later Warlow abandonment my daughter breaking her heart… That I cannot forgive, for that reason alone deserves death."

Locking eyes with Catherine, Lilith told her, "Because Warlow abandonment Iltani she lost her humanity… because of Warlow, Iltani became an assassin, a killer for hire!"

Sookie looked at her maker asking her, "What does that mean… And why do you tell us now?"

"Iltani came here to kill you Catherine… She knew about the contract that Warlow made with your ancestor John Stackhouse, Iltani wanted to claim Warlow as her own for that Catherine Northman had to die…

"She decided to take the contract itself Catherine, she knew the best way to draw you out was to commit an unforgivable offense creating vampire children!" Lilith explained.

Eric spoke up saying allowed, "she didn't expect you to become involved… Did she?"

Closing her eyes in remembrance of the long forgotten memory Lilith stated, "No she didn't expect me to to become involved, she thought I would cover for her, just like I did 9000 years ago!"

"It's getting close to sunset and my delivery should be here soon!" Lilith told them, "Eric, Nora assist me in encircling's house!"
