Resurrection

Here I am at the end I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again

Nicol Sponberg Resurrection

We were looking out the window when we saw Bill in the daylight, standing there in front of the house. He looked at the building from the roof tops to the steps and he could see me and Renee looking out at him through the shot gun slits of the storm shutters we had pulled down.

"Bill," whispered Renee. He seemed to have heard her and raised his hand and then was gone from our sight, a blur that simply was there and then just wasn't. Tears were sliding down her face and I put my arm around her. Godric was right, The vision of Lilith turning her back on her faithful servant had worked a change in Bill. It was obvious something was happening. I went and sat down. I grabbed the cigarette box and pulled out one of the fragrant cigarettes Eric had for me and I lit one.
"I wish there was something we could do for Nora," said Aolani. "Like we did when they were poisoned with Death's Door."
"Death's Door was not a virus," I said. "Besides, Lilith was right."
"What?" asked Minnie.
"The Tyrant has Bill's daughter and the Blonde has the cure," I said. I hated Sookie at that moment. Right now she was bumping uglies with the solution to all Bill's problems, maybe the problems of Vampire Kind and I resented her like hell.
"Yeah, Danger Whore has mucked up the works," said Barrister, bringing me and Aolani a cup of coffee. "Danger Whore, is that like Danger Mouse?"
"She wishes," said Minnie.

"We need to get Ben back into this world," said Aolani. "If he throws off Lilith's influence, then he loses any influence he has over Ben. He can't invoke the power of the maker. Eric needs what Ben has and Ben has the biggest case of self loathing I have ever seen."
"Matched only by Jessica," I said. "That was brutal. At least James had enough moral fiber to tell those pricks to get stuffed."
"I hope something brutal happens to that Sarah Newlin," said Renee. "Imagine doing that to another human being."
"Well, she doesn't think Jessica is a person," said Len. He was sitting down, looking at the drawings of the new UV bullet gun and the drawings of the bullets themselves.
"Well, Ben hates Vampires, he will never allow his blood be used to cure one," said Aolani. "Which will send Eric over the edge if he can't cure Nora."
"Eric has lost so much," said Minnie.
"I think I figured out what Jason was injected with," I said.
"What?" asked Renee.
"A GPS chip," I said. "I looked at the screen caps. The injector gun didn't have a vial on it, like they used on Nora. They must have chipped him, like you do your pets. Now they may be able to track him."
"That is not good," said Barrister.
"If Willa can convince the other Vampires that they should not drink the Tru:Blood, then she will save them," said Renee.
"If, and that is big thing to ask of a hungry Vampire, they are starving," I said. I got up and went to the shelves. I grabbed a large book and tucked it under my arm. "I am going to do some reading."
"If you come up with anything, let us know," said Aolani.

I went into our room and sat the book on the bed. It was The Vampyrick Booke of the Dead, the real one and not that edited one that Vampire and I wrote for the public. This one showed how to resurrect a Vampire from the remains. I pulled out my phone and called Herbs Herbs, the witch shop we liked to shop at. "Herb, this is Aslinn, I need you do something for me."
"Of course sister," he said.
"Grab a paper and pen," I said.
"Okay, shoot," he said.
"I need about 30 pounds of natron," I began.

Contingency plans, I am all about them.
