Katherine, Lilly, and Nadia left mystic falls six months ago for parts unknown. Shortly after arriving in Nassau the of the capital of the Bahamas Lilly decided to buy a yacht, SEA FORCE ONE be exact and wouldn't tell anyone why. Finally the day arrived when they would leave Nassau, Lilly was busy studying the ships charts and the odd thing was she wasn't orientating them to Ursa Major quite the contrary.

Studying the chart she asked quizzically asks, "Lilly, what star are you orientating the map to?"

"I am orientating the map the to star Thuban in the constellation of Draco Nadia…"

Double checking her calculations Lilly said softly, "I'm taking you and Katherine someplace no one has seen in 10,000 years!"

Raising her brow to a high arch Nadia said in a silvery ton"Oh, where would that be?"

Looking up from the map with a smirk on her face Lilly said offhandedly, "Atlantis!"

"B- but that's a myth!" Nadia said stuttering as her eyes grew ever wider she wondered if Lilly was delusional.

"No i'm not delusional!" Lilly said sarcastically as she plotted their course telling Nadia in a stern tone, "Your trying to convince someone who stood on the shores of Atlantis itself… it's a myth?"

"I asked Katherine where she wanted to go, she said surprise her" Lilly told Nadia offhandedly.

Katherine came up on deck smirking at Lilly as she half chidingly told her in a sarcastic tone, "What I said was take me somewhere I've never been"

Lilly's brown eyes met Katherine's as she looked up from the sea charts once more asking Katherine in a matter-of-fact tone, "Ever been to Atlantis?"

"No" Katherine admitted, "I haven't"

"I once spent 3000 years there… I only left when I needed blood" Lilly stated casually.

Nadia looked at Lilly saying to her in a silvery tone, "That's all vampires feed on!"

Smiling Lilly said in a lilting singsong tone of voice, "I'm not most vampires…"

"Not to change the subject but… what are we going to do with Wes Maxfield" Nadia asked with a raised eyebrow.

Grinning Lilly said in a honeyed tone, "I fed him my blood…"

Ignoring the incredulous looks from Katherine and Nadia, Lilly said "I like them to be healthy when I begin to torcher someone"

Katherine and Nadia were fuming as Lilly said, "I have no intention of turning him…"

With a mischievous glint in her eye Lilly stated "though making him my servant has possibilities"

Lilly was quite for a moment as Wes Maxfield suddenly appeared from below decks, turning one of her hands to claws Lilly opens her forearm. Looking into Wes Maxfield eyes Lilly said, "Drink"

Wes suddenly attacked Lilly's still bleeding arm as Lilly said in a commanding tone, "Stop drinking my blood"

Katherine was used to seeing such things but Nadia was having problems understanding why.

"Not to worry… Mr. Maxfield still has a measure of free will… however he would do anything I ask of him" Lilly said. Turning to face him Lilly told him in a silvery tone, "For the next five minutes you will be deaf and can not speak"

"Yes Mistress" Wes replied in a dead tone of voice.

"He is my thrall and subject to my will" Lilly explained"

Looking at her new bride and her daughter Lilly said, "If I asked Wes Maxfield to kill himself he would, he would try to fight back and he would ultimately lose"

Lilly's brown eyes dilated and then contracted as she told Wes in a light silvery tone, "You are not to harm me or any of my companions, "That includes Katherine and Nadia anyone tries to harm them you are to kill the attackers you will defend them with your life"

As if to make her point Lilly handed Wes a Dagger and said, "Place this over your heart and press"

The only response Wes said was "Yes Mistress"

A small splotch of blood appeared on his shirt when Lilly said "STOP... Wes you will remember nothing"

Wes Maxfield blinked as if waking up from a dream, Looking at Lilly and waited. Lilly stated sharply, "Nadia's sire will wake soon be sure he has warm blood waiting for him"

"You may go Wes" Lilly exclaimed.

"Yes Mistress" was the only reply

Nadia shivered and stated, "That's creepy... wait a minute I don't have a sire"

With a devilish smile Lilly said, "Not yet!"

"What does that mean?" Katherine asked.

Giving Katherine a kiss Lilly said, "It means what you think it means love"

moments later Nadia shook herself from her shock stating, "I thought you were going to put him in Natron?"

Chuckling Lilly said lightly, "He lasted all of thirty minutes before he was crying like a baby… besides I like this much better"

Raising her brow Nadia asked pensively, "What does that mean?"

"It means… for someone like Wes Maxfield who spent their lives destroying vampires… do have to serve one" Lilly stated

"It would be a living hell!" Nadia declared.

"Yes it would be?" Katherine said grinning.

Lilly Voice had a definite vengeful undertone to it as she said, "It's the ultimate humiliation"

Nadia looked at Lilly incredulously the look in her eyes said you wouldn't.

As if to add insult to injury Lilly stated firmly."If this were nine thousand years ago I'd be feeding his own heart to him right now"
