7:00 P.M Two and half days later in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans Louisiana, Katherine & Lilly were checking into the Carriage House at The Maison Dupuy hotel. Just as the concierge was about to ask where to luggage Katherine whispered in Lilly ear "Put our things in the same room…."

Lilly told to the concierge in a silvery tone "We will both be staying in the master suite but I want the secondary bedroom prepared regardless"

"Expecting a third party" The concierge asked in a businesslike manner.

"You never know!" Lilly stated in a singsong tone of voice.

Lily and Katherine walked down a red brick walkway that opens up into a private courtyard the carriage house itself is an old stone brick face design.

As they walk through the open living space the bellhop in starts speaking in softly in lilting French accent points out 37 inch flat-panel TV with a HD programming that's hidden inside an antique armoire. As they continue to walk through the bellhop point out the full dining area that's able to seat for and an open but restriction that includes sink, refrigerator, microwave toaster and all necessities in stock cabinets.

Lily asks the bellhop in a silvery tone "Has the Talisker's 30-year-old first malt Scotch arrived yet?"

"It was placed in the book in kitchen" the bellhop told to them.

As they walked upstairs they notice the master suite encompassed the entire second floor.

Is the entire second floor is a luxurious master suite. The four-poster king size bed and antique furnishings gave the room a sense of old world charm, and a through a set of double doors on the other side of the bed is an oversize bathroom with Jacuzzi soaking tub, separate walk in shower, seated vanity- and space for in-room spa services.

"For your culinary delight, they can enjoy cooked to order meals at your dining table, or in your private courtyard while listening to the koi splash in their pond. Lounge in the sun and enjoy our mixologists' beverages brought directly to you." The bellhop tells them.

Sometime later both Lilly and Katherine rest in bed, when Katherine starts kissing and nibbling on Lily's wrist. Using her free hand Lily turns Katherine's head and face to hers telling her in a firm tone of voice, "I don't take the sharing of blood lightly… Are you asking to become my sire?"

"I think I've been looking for you I entire life!" Katherine told Lily, "I feel safe with you."

"You have fallen in love with me… Before we do this Katherine, you need to understand I have done some horrific things my lifetime being bonded to me means you will see and feel those things." Lilly told her.

Katherine didn't say anything she took Lilly's arm and wrist and bit down starting to drink, and Lily did the same thing.

In a soft lazy voice Lilly told Katherine, "You now have my full protection… No one can touch you without my permission; do understand Katherine, not even Klaus or any of his family!"

"Why is that?" Katherine asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Katherine" Lilly said "By drinking my blood you asked me to marry you… by drinking yours I accepted"

I don't even have a ring thought Katherine.

"We can get one in the morning!" Lilly Purred.

Through the newly formed bond between Katherine and Lily, Lilly heard Katherine think, I want to show you New Orleans… The New Orleans but I know and love.

Lilly replied softly, "I would love to see New Orleans through your eyes."

Katherine watched as a nude Lily stepped out from beneath the sheets, she was the perfect physically fit in nicely toned Katherine was hypnotized by the striations of her muscles as she walked. Katherine's momentary hypnotic gaze was broken by Lily chuckling as she said in a playful tone, "If you don't stop staring at my backside… We will never see the French quarter!

30 minutes later as Katherine and Lily walk the streets they notice Marcel dragging a clearly afraid Hayley Marshall behind him. "Katherine" Lilly said in a silvery tone, "that is Klaus mate… And she's pregnant…"

Running across the street in a blur Lilly is on top of Marcel before he can react. Standing right in front of him Lilly's pupils dilated and then contracted as she told him in a voice that was cold and calculating, "Let her go…"

Marcel tried to fight it thinking he was the stronger that's when Lilly stated flatly, "The last vampire to fight my compulsion had a psychotic break!"

Lilly's voice took on a commanding tone, the way Queen talks to her subjects as she told him for the second time, "Let her go… Or die where you stand"

"Who are you?" Marcel demanded.

Lilly's eyes started to glow blood red as she told Marcel in a rough tone of voice, "No one you want is an enemy Marcel Gerard"

Regaining her composure Lilly looked at Hayley telling her in a soft tone of voice, "You're safe… Come with me I will see you safely back to Klaus "

"You're a vampire… But only in original can compel a vampire!" Haley stated confused as she looked between Katherine and Lily, Katherine, stated, "That's a long Story, Hayley!"

The three women make their way back to The Maison Dupuy hotel, Lilly called out, "Unless you want your hearts ripped out of your chests, go back to your maker and tell him you couldn't find us."

Six of Marcel's night stalkers decided not to heed Lily's warning and before Katherine or Hayley could react Lily was finishing off the sixth person biting his neck and half. On the ground were the six bodies with their hearts resting beside them

"We can't leave them out in the open for the whole wold to see" Lilly stated offhandedly, and with a snap of her fingers she reduced the bodies' to ash.

Hayley got this frightened look on her face again as she sized up Lilly, having seen how fast Klaus Mikaelson can move first hand and She just saw Lilly move faster then Klaus could on his best day, she knew in original when she saw one. But her mind could not accept what her eyes were telling her.

Responding to Hayley's unspoken question Lily said in a matter of fact tone, "I am the progenitor of Homonus Nocturni… Vampires have existed for longer than the Mikaelson family would like you believe, they wanted power."

Having arrived back at the carriage house, Lily called the concierge and asked that the kitchen before we stocked before continuing her story.

"Hayley" Lilly asked softly, "Call Klaus tell him you're safe, tell him you are staying with a new friend and you will see him in the morning."

Moments later Hayley handed the phone to Lily telling her in a tired breathy voice, "He wants to speak to you."

"Hello Klaus" Lilly said, "you may call me Lilly for now… Yes I convinced Marcel to let her go" Putting down the phone Lilly looked at her guest

"Hayley" Lilly said in a gentle soft-spoken voice, "You undoubtedly have questions I will be more than happy to answer them for you"

"First I have a question what would you like to eat." Lilly asked as she picked up the phone to the on-call butler.

About 15 minutes later a man came in with burgers and fries and a Coke.

"Eat while I tell you the story!" Lilly stated

"I am a vampire; I'm also shape shifter… But a very special kind of shape shiftier, I can become anyone simply by the looking at them" Lilly stated.

"You may take that bedroom over there!" Lilly said in a silvery tone as she pointed to the first floor bedroom, "much as I hate spending time away from Katherine… I'll be spending the night sofa…"

Hayley looked at Lily and said softly, "you don't look so dangerous!"

Having watched as Lilly stripped and her skin tone darkened to the color of Ash and bone barbs grew out of her forearms and shoulders as well as her head, in an inhuman tone of voice Lily said, "You were saying…"
