Who is the 'her' that the Cold Woman bit? As far as I recall, the people that she bit, she drained in an instant. BUT, definitely some venom got into anyone that she bit. The venom assists vampires in draining their human prey because the human is in so much pain - that he can't think coherently. The only think they can concentrate on is the pain, and the vampire has them pretty much drained in a few minutes or seconds. There usually is SOME blood and venom left in the prey's body. However, so little blood is left that it can't circulate the venom throughout the body, so the victim dies. That's why there aren't all that many vampires. It's almost impossible for them to stop drinking to allow enough blood to circulate the venom... plus it takes days for this process to complete. If you're referring to the 3rd Wife - I don't think the Cold Woman ever bit her. She stabbed herself to distract the cold woman - plus she stabbed herself in the heart. The heart has to circulate the venom, so if the heart were destroyed, there'd be no way for the human to change into a vampire.
