"Your move Kitty Kat," Lillian whispered with a triumphant grin as she left the motel./p

Damon repeated in a very questioning tone. "Why would he let you out?" Stefan inquired. "I-I don't really know. What I do know is that the night he said he came for me and my sister-,"/p

"I'll be back," she announced and headed towards the door. Damon blocked her path, "Where do you think you're going?" Lillian scoffed, "Not that it's any of your business but I'm going to go talk to Katherine." She went to move around him, but he gripped her forearm, "Be careful," He said. Lillian looked up at him, like actually looked at him, for the first time since she has been there. He hadn't aged at all since she last saw him, of course his hair was cut little shorter and styled differently, but nonetheless he looked exactly as she remembered him. His crystal blue eyes were filled with worry as he stared down at her and the grip he had on her arm made her feel like he didn't want to let her go. "Don't wait up," she said softly as she went through the door./p

Lillian rolled her eyes and pushed passed her. "Nice place," she snorted at the dingy motel room. "Well I'm sorry that not all of us can live in the fancy Salvatore mansion and besides, I won't be here long," Katherine replied sounding a bit sad. "Why are you here? More importantly why am I here?" Lillian asked. "So what have you been up to for the past century and a half?" Katherine deflected. "I'm pretty sure you know, considering you knew where to find me, but if we're asking questions about our personals lives, what have you been up to since you left me to rot in that tomb?"/p

She could see at the end of the hall, a little ray of light shining from the crack in the door. "I thought I turned the lamp off," she muttered making her way towards the door. When she opened it, it revealed a much-disoriented Damon with an empty bourbon bottle in his hands. Lillian sighed, "You're drunk."/p
