Finishing encircling the house with blood Elle starts reciting her incantation bolstering the wards on the house left by the Fae. Fifteen minutes later, no sooner did Elle finish ritual then Pam De Beaufort stumbled up the drive holding her hand over a gaping wound on her neck, Eric was about to run to her when Elle called out "Eric… its Warlow's bite… !"

Eric looked at Elle asking, "What difference does that make?"

"Eric" Elle said, "You don't have immunity to it… I do!"

Pam collapsed just outside the circle.

Elle's movements were a blur as she speed to Pam's side, Elle's thinks "It's feint but she still lives… however Warlow's venom will kill her if I don't act soon"

Lifting Pam in her arms she carried her over the blood wards, reading the question on Eric's face Elle told him "She is alive… though not for much longer."

"Eric" Said Elle ripping into her wrist Elle told him "In order to save her you must forfeit your claim as maker"

Pam lay their coughing up her own blood on the verge of death and in a barely audible voice muttering "Eric…N-no!"

"Pam if it saves your life… I will" Pam De Beaufort… from this point onward and ever after I renounce all claims to as my sire" Eric said

Pam was in the virge of the true death when Eric look at Elle and said angrily, "I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD SAVE HER… SHE HAS SUFFERED THE TRUE DEATH!"

"Young vampire's… Always so dramatic, your concept of the true death and mine are not quite the same." Lilith stated.

Scoffing at Eric's comments and his bravado Elle told him "You young ones know so very little about the process of making a vampire"

Nonchalantly Elle told Eric "There is an art to it"

Moments later "Sookie bring me a large knife" Elle thought as she ripped open Pam's clothes momentarily pulling Pam of the ground. Sookie came running outside with a large carving knife in hand giving it to Elle.

Eric watched her asked Elle "What are you doing?" As he rounded on her stating, "SHE'S ALREADY SUFFERED TRUE DEATH… WHAT MORE CAN YOU DO TO HER."

"Watch Eric" Elle commanded as she cut open Pam from the sternum to the navel then proceeded to bite open her own hand. Letting the blood start to flow. Eric nostrils flared he dropped his fangs at the scent of Elle blood. Elle thrust her hand and arm into Pam's body with her bleeding hand Elle gently massaged her heart forcing it to beat.

"Now we wait" Said Elle as she lifted Pam's body off the cold ground and carried her into the house and up to her room.

"Don't you need to go to ground" Sookie asked.

"Sookie I would need to go to ground in my native soil and that is in Iraq" Elle said as she shook her head at how the lore had been twisted stating, "At the moment this is my home"

Several hours later Pam woke coming out of Lilith's bedroom feeling the confused she walked into the kitchen stating "Eric… I-I can't feel your presents anymore"

"That's because you no longer my sire Pam…to save your life had I renounced my claim" Eric stated in a remorselul undertone.

"I thought that was a bad dream" Pam replied

In her head Pam heard Lilith's voice telling her, "You are my sire now… Pam."

Walking into kitchen Lilith told Pam "Warlow sent you as a message to me Pam!" Looking at Pam Lilith told her "I used my venom to kill Warlow's"

Sensing the question forming in Pam's mind Elle told her "Though Warlow is my sire… our venom is slightly different… because his is derived from mine, mine is stronger"

Chuckling Eric and said, "Like cured like!"

"Yes" Elle said "And now Warlow will pay the price for his arrogance!"

Cathrine Northman walked into the kitchen asking, "What does that mean?"

"It means young one… I told Warlow the Northman's were under my protection that includes Pam De Beaufort!"

Taking Pam by the hand Elle led her out into the noon day sun, only to have Pam pull back in resistance.

"Now that you are sired to me Pam De Beaufort… you will find you can do many things you could not before!"

Through their newly formed sire bond Elle said, "Trust me Pam"

Taking a tentative step off the back porch and into the sun Pam had expected to feel a burning sensation as her flesh started to blacken, but nothing happened. Aside from having to shade her eyes from the sun Pam was fine.

Pam looked at Elle and said, "I don't understand!"

"All of my sires can walk in the sun Pam… I suspect if Sookie tried she could as well" Elle explained.

"Eric" Without taking her eyes off Pam Elle said "I know you drank that vial I left you… I knew the moment you drank it"

Eric muttered, "I was curious… So yes I drank it…"
