It was the following morning and it was full sun when Lilly and Katherine walk up the drive to the The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted only to see Caroline Forbs jaw drop She remembered what Lilly told her last night, but Caroline thought Lilly was just boasting.
"Researching Magical Tomes, or haven't fed in a while" Lilly asks, "Oh that barer spell to keep prying eyes away try this"
"I've used it to hide my tomb for ten millennia" Lilly said walking to stand beside Katherine!
"How does a vampire know magic" Caroline asks, as she thinks for the first time, Who… No what are you…
"Follow me" Lilly said as she walks into the library she jumps into the air grabs an ancient tome and said, "I you truly want to know who I am the answer is here, but the stone carving hardly does me justice"
"Perhaps Bonnie Bennett could help you she is only a phone call away" Lilly said as both Lilly and Katherine walked to the main building. That Pronouncement made Caroline's blood run cold when she heard that because Caroline never told Lilly about her
"Katherine… Did you tell her?" Caroline asks only to have Katherine said, "I Keep my word we agreed the Bennet line was dead."
Pulled both Josie and Lizzie Saltzman out of class to examine Lilly much to Lilly's annoyance.
"Subtlety is not your strong suit is it Miss Forbs" Lilly said, "I rose Augustine House to the ground because they stole my wife"
"But that was a gas fire" Caroline states emphatically.
"No, it was meant to look like one" Lilly said in a cold menacing tenor, "Are you sure you want to know, who and what I am"
"Mama… No", Josie and Lizzie cry as they get a glimpse, of Lilly's true face, her demonic form has black armored skin, claws, horns and scales. She has a split jaw with extra rows of teeth and a barbed tongue.
The girls slowly back away and Lilly realizes what they have seen, "This is no longer about you and me Caroline, unless I am mistaken your daughters just saw my demonic form"
"I could wipe their memory, compel them to forget but it would mean I would have to leave my position here"
"Have a seat-girls Lilly states, I had intended for you to find out who I was over time easing you into it but now I have to change my plans", Opening the tome Lilly flips open the tome to the appropriate page and said only, "Read it first then I will answer any question you have"
Lilith was known by many names. In Jewish lore, Elijah met Lilith and forced her to reveal her various disguises.
"Caroline, I have over 100 names, to gain power over me you must learn them all, have fun", Lilly said walking out
Half an hour later Lilly walks into the class and said, "This is Ancient History, not Compelling 101 stop trying to compel that witch to do your homework Francis"
The look on Hopes face said Bad Idea Francis
"How are you going to Stop me the only one who can compel me is on my side" , Francis boasted
With a placid smile Lilly walks over to Francis with all the grace of a big cat on the hunt, this fact unnerved him as she closed distance she finally stood their right in front of him and staring at him not moving, not blinking at Francis when Lilly's pupil's dilated and then contracted as she said, "Hop on one foot"
The entire room fell into a silent awe as Lilly walked back to the front of the room and her desk Francis and the only sound was him hopping as Lilly said, "Stop and Francis found his seat very quickly"
"I hope I have made my point" Lilly said looking at him, "Vampires have existed for longer than you think Francis, and I am older than you know"
"To answer your questions, I have lived long enough for the world to forget I lived at all" Lilly expounded, "and Francis remember, "there is always someone more powerful then you are"
Later that night As Lilly and Katherine were enjoying a glass of rare wine when Hope came running up the drive of Flemming Home with Susan in her arms saying in a panic, "We were out getting something to drink and she just collapsed, I brought the cup with me... maybe you can"
Lilly took a sip and spat it out saying, in a taut tone, "It's been spiked with holy water" she was angry the last time she was this angry someone had taken Katherine.
"It looks like I'm going to have another sire to raise!" Lilly said biting into her forearm and holding it to Susan's mouth.
"Hope" Lilly said, "You know I am "The progenitor of Homonus Nocturni" what you don't know is I never had to evolve, my blood is the most potent of all vampires living or dead."
Stroking Susan's hair out of her eyes Lilly said, "Because I am the progenitor of the species, my blood is the most pure, free of centuries worth of selective mutation."
"I'm the great white shark, of vampires"
Hope looks at Lilly dumbfounded, as Katherine called the school saying, Caroline I don't have time to answer any question's so just listen, both Hope and Susan are here, no don't come get them, Lilly has things well in hand.
Susan reaches up grabbing Lilly's arm, taking gulps of blood…
Susan's eyes open and Lilly carry's her to one of the spare bedrooms.
"You can stay with her or use the other spare room" Lilly said, she is alive, When Katherine went through this she was already a vampire for 400 years and it took her 2 days"
Caroline appears in the hall trying to get Susan back only to have Katherine stepped in front of the door blocking her access when Caroline mutters, "up to road tricks are you?"
Hope Mikaelson appears in the hallway saying in a taut angry tone of voice, "Katherine didn't bring her here, I did someone spiked Susan's drink with holy water Susan was dying."
Lilly steps out of the room and says softly, "Susan is resting comfortably, I managed to save her however she is now bound to me for eternity!"
That statement got Caroline's attention as Lilly said, "You have a bigger problem than a student out of school, besides she's taken on some of my more unique traits and no offense but none of you would survive her."
"Meaning What Exactly", Caroline asks
"Meaning in-order to save her I gave her my blood" Lilly, said, "You cure one poison by using a stronger one"
Caroline stood their staring daggers at Lilly as Lilly herself said, "Mine is the purest, my blood is the most potent of any vampire venom."
"You wanted to know how strong I am think about Niklaus Mikaelson at his peak, now multiply that my 1000 and then double that" Lilly told Caroline, "Knowing that, ask yourself why I haven't tried to be the evil history portrays me to be
"Who are you" Caroline asks more out is fear then curiosity.
"As I told you I have over 100 names, but there is one that is the most famous" Lilly said turning and heading back into the bedroom.
"Lilith of Mesopotamia" Katherine said, "Yes Caroline that Lilith the one the bible says is the mother of monsters"
"She doesn't act like a monster does she"
