"There is another way for her to master her darklight abilities Warlow…" Lilith said sharply.
Everyone turned to face Lilith, as Lilith herself looked at Cathrine and said, "Cathrine… 25 years ago I said any more than that, you will no longer be human"
"You were talking to Cathrine as well" Said Sookie.
"Actually Sookie I wasn't taking to you at all…" Turning to face Cathrine, Lilith said, "You could complete the transformation Cathrine …"
Wide eyed Sookie asked in a ringing tone, "Is that even possible!"
"Yes… you would have to give up part of your heritage…" Lilith said, "I made Warlow before I understood what he was, I won't make that mistake again"
In a small quite voice Cathrine said, "I would have to give up being Fairy"
"Yes… you would!" Lilith said with a sense of sadness to her voice.
Lilith became aware of an approaching Vampiric presents as she moved faster that even Eric could track to the spot where Willa Burrell stood.
"I'm Eric's-" Willa started to say in a strangled tone.
Before Willa knows what is happening she is in a combination arm lock and choke hold!
"Walk…" Lilith commanded in a penetrating tone of voice.
Willa tried to fight it only to have Lilith put all her energy into her voice as she said "Walk… Now…"
Willa's eyes widened in fear as her legs started to move on their own despite her trying to remain immobile.
This one has spirit, Lilith thought
"Willa, is it…" Lilith said offhandedly, "The more you try to fight my command the more it will hurt… and I don't mean the arm lock"
"H-how are you able to compel vampires…" Willa asked in a breathy fearful tone of voice.
"That's my secret child… for now…" Lilith hoisted Willa into her arms like she was a bride of her wedding day telling Willa, "If as you are Eric's child as you clam I may answer your questions…"
As they walked down the drive that's when Lilith sensed it in Willa's blood "Hep V"
"Tell me child, how is it you have lived so long with the vampire plague!" Lilith stated.
"New Blood, every hour on the hour…" Willa commented
"Would you like to be cured?" Lilith asked softly.
"Can't afford it…" Willa stated offhandedly.
As they approached the house Lilith asked, "One of yours?"
"We have to get her to Sarah Newlin…" Sookie stated.
With a light smile Lilith said in a honeyed tone, "You didn't think Sarah Newlin was the only cure… did you?"
Biting into her own forearm Lilith stated, "A cure is nothing more than a poison… that being said my blood will cure you…"
Looking to Eric, Willa waited until he gave a nod. Tentatively Willa Burrell grabbed Lilith's arm and bit down.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth Willa asked, "How long…"
"It should be immediate" Lilith stated in a silvery tone.
Looking at the woman she just fed from Willa asked hopefully, "Will I ever learn the name of my benefactor"
"Willa Burrell, meet Lilith of Mesopotamia… my maker" Sookie stated matter of factly
Now Willa spent enough time in church as a mortal to recognize the name but for the moment has the sense to remain silent not that it mattered. Laughing Lilith said, "The story of Adam was taken from a much older tale… The story of Gilgamesh King of Uruk"
"How do you know that?" Willa asked.
"Willa, I am the oldest Vampire your likely to meet…" Lilith told her.
""H-how old are you?" Willa asked.
"Well setting aside the fact it's not polite to ask… 10.0000 years old give or take a year." Lilith said.
It was a good thing Willa wasn't drinking anything she would have spit it out.
"That never gets old", Eric stated
"Willa, call me Elle" Lilith told her.
Feeling a bit sheepish about the question Willa asked, "If Hep V is lethal to vampires-"
"How was I able to cure you?" Elle asked Willa.
"As I told you… a cure is a type of poison, what I didn't tell you is my blood is the most lethal poison on the planet"
