A few minutes after Gabriela arrived at Jason's apartment, Bill explained to both of them what Sookie was.

"She's fairy?"

"I'm a fairy?" Both girls asked at the same time, looking at Bill in shock "How fucking lame!"

Bill rose a brow "Fairy is but one of the names."

"What other names are there?" Gabriela asked him.

Bill started to name them off "Finodrerr. Ellyllon. The Old People." He hesitated "Aliens."

Sookie took in a deep breath "God fucking damn it! I really am an alien," she mumbled, standing up and glancing over at Gabriela, who was just as shocked as her.

"Only part," he told her, wanting to make sure she knew exactly what she was "You're mostly human. Something like Gabi. Apparently, a Fae coupled with one of your female ancestors."

"Coupled?" Sookie asked him with wide eyes.

Bill nodded "The Fae were known for breeding with humans. Sometimes against the human's will."

"My people are rapists?!" Sookie exclaimed, her eyes wide as she ran her hands through her blonde hair "How do you know all this?"

Bill hesitated slightly before saying "One of them called 'Claudine' told me."

Sookie furrowed her brows, her eyes displaying shock at the name, meaning she knew who he was talking about "Claudine? Where were you when you...?"

"Bon Temps Cemetery. Only it... It was someplace else. And it was day," he said before quickly adding "But it wasn't painful, it was beautiful."

"Was there a pond?"

"Wait... what are you talking about?" Gabriela asked, confused about what they were talking about.

Sookie sighed, biting her lip "When we were in the hospital, I thought I had died along with you, but I was actually in another realm of sorts. It was bright and there was so many beautiful people. It all glowed." She then glanced at Bill before taking a step back "Claudine told me you would take my light."

Bill nodded, looking guilty "She's afraid for you-" He then looked towards Gabriela "-she's afraid about you too, Gabi. And with good reason."

Sookie tilted her head "What reason is that?"

"Every supernatural I have ever met believes the Fae were wiped out of existence by vampires, just like the Nephilims were." he explained briefly and Gabriela began pacing back and forth with all the new information.

"Why do people think they were wiped out by vampires?" Sookie asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "And if you don't tell me the truth, Bill Compton, I swear to God I will know it."

Bill sighed as he saw the distrust from both women "According to legend, fairy blood is delectable and intoxicating to vampires."

Gabriela's mouth opened slightly in shock "Like mine. My blood is very intoxicating to vampires. The first time Eric tasted me, he said he almost lost control... Nephilims blood usually isn't that intoxicating like mine."
