Hello! Thank you for the reviews once again AudreyDarke96 and Twilight Gleek, On with the chapter.
Chapter seven.
Damon's POV.
I couldn't have resisted her, she was so beautiful. And when she had fed from me. It had been the most wonderful feeling ever.
Right now I was watching her face as she slept. She had a slight smile on her lips, she was lying on her stomach, the silk sheets came up to the bottom of her shoulder blades and her breathing was calm and quiet. I got up and put my clothes on. Rick was coming around today. And it would be better if I talked to him before he met Lily.
I looked back to her to make sure she was still asleep. She now had her arms rapped around my pillow and was still smiling. I wandered into the book room where I could sense Stefan. I walked through the door. "What are you doing?" I asked as I saw him reading Father's journal.
"Trying to find something that might help." He replied.
"That's what we've got Rick for, isn't it? And plus, you won't find anything in that." I hadn't liked my Father and that feeling had been mutual, we had never got along. And I had promised myself that I would get revenge on him for how he treated me in my childhood. But that night Stefan had came back and told me what had happened when he had quarreled with Father, and I was grateful. Grateful that I didn't have to see his ugly face again, and grateful he had gotten what he deserved.
"If you didn't notice, Father was always interested in Lily, he always kept an eye on her. And when she changed . . . I think he knew. And he didn't want her to get caught." Stefan said, bringing me out of my thoughts and making me frown in amusement. What stupidity. Father wanting to protect a vampire? Ha.
"What the hell makes you think that?" I said. Father had always been close with Lily, he had treated her like a daughter. But when Katherine came along, he had treated her the same way. And him and Lily had grew apart. If he was going to save any vampire, I would have thought Katherine.
"Because . . ." He paused.
"Spit it out, Stefan." I said, getting annoyed at his hesitation.
"Because, that night . . . Father told her to run away from there as far as possible and to come back by dawn. He was holding her hand and whispering frantically. At first she looked surprised at him knowing. But she ran anyway and took Lexi with her." He paused. "She came back earlier than dawn, though. Just as we got shot."
I looked at him frowning, ignoring that last part. I didn't want to think about what she had saw. "How would you possibly know that, Stefan?" I asked taking a step toward him.
He sensed my annoyance and spoke in a quiet voice. "I saw it in her dream last night. But it was more like memories sifting through her mind."
"What? And you thought it was okay just to watch? You never used to use your powers unless absolutely necessary, remember? But as soon as Lily turns up, you're nosing through everybody's head. You need to stop." I threatened, taking another step toward him.
"You want to find out what's happening to her, don't you." He said raising his voice a little and standing up.
"Yes, but it still doesn't give you the right to go nosing around in her head." I said, raising my voice an octave higher than his. I heard Lily stirr in her sleep, hearing my voice. So did Stefan.
"Anything, we can do, anything, that will help. We have to do, Damon." He said quietly. "Because, if she is what Klaus is and she does something to trigger it . . . we don't know if she could lose control. And if she doesn't lose control, then she could help with Elena." Lilt wouldn't lose control, would she? She was sweet and kind, she wouldn't just lose that.
A knock on the door interrupted our conversation.
It was Rick. "Hello? Stefan? Damon?" He shouted .
He came into the room we were in. "Hey." He said, looking at me and Stefan in turn. We were both still stood face to face. I stepped back and felt my face relax. Had I been that furious that my face had changed? My fangs concaved. Yes I had.
"Rick." I said and nodded in hello.
He cleared his throat and said, "Um, so what did you want me over here for. And why with Isobel's research. I've looked, there's nothing that can help Elena."
"No, that's not why we need it. We have a spell for Elena that will hopefully work, but we'll talk about that later." Stefan said. "This is about someone else." He added.
"Who?" Rick asked, looking confused.
"Lily Muratore." I said.
"And who would 'Lily Muratore' happen to be?"
"Me." I heard a voice behind me and turned. There was Lily, leaning delicately on the doorframe, she was dressed in a black silk kilmono that came to her mid thigh. Her hair hung in perfect curls down her back and came to her mid waist. Her blue eyes were complemented by long black lashes and her eyelids shimmered with gold. Her cheeks had the morning pink touch to them. I heard Rick gasp.
"You're Lily Muratore?" Rick said.
"The one and only." She said as she took a seat in the chair Stefan had been seated in moments ago. She put her bare feet up onto the desk and crossed her arms. She looked at me and smiled. My eyes lit up and I smiled back. She was enjoying her game of 'Scare the human'
"And you're a . . ." Rick continued, but Lily interrupted him, fed up of his slowness.
". . . vampire, yes?" She urged.
"Okay, so . . ." He looked back to Stefan. "What's wrong with her?" He said, gesturing a hand down the length of her figure.
"We think she's a hybrid like Klaus." I said.
"What?" Rick raised his eyesbrows.
"Yeah, what?" Lily looked at me and brought her feet from the desk. "You didn't tell me that." She said.
"We weren't sure." I said.
"We're not sure." Stefan corrected. Lily sighed.
"Okay, so what if I am. That spell won't effect me." She said looking down at her hands in her lap. Then she looked back up. "Does it?" Stefan shook his head.
"We don't think so." He said.
"Okay, so how do we find out if she's a hybrid?" Rick asked.
"That's why we brought you. And you brought Isobel's research. We think she might have known." I said.
"Isobel? Isobel Flemming? A vampire?" Lily said looking at Rick.
Rick nodded, "Yeah, why?" He said.
"Because I changed her." She said.
"What?" Me and Rick said at the same time.
"I'm sorry Rick, I knew she had a husband and everything, and by what you're feeling now. I'm guessing you were the husband. But when she came . . . it was bad timing. I was angry and thirsty. So when she asked me to change her, I did." She suddenly became angry. "I remember her telling me that Katherine had sent her."
"Katherine sent her? To you?" I said. "Great." I added sarcastically. "So Katherine knows you're alive."
"Yeah, but, Damon. She probably knows what I am." Lily said.
"I think we should pay little Katherine a visit." I said. Lily's eyes lit up in excitement.
"Great!" She said. "This is going to be fun."
"Guess we won't be needing this then." Rick said putting a box full of paper and books down.
"Let's go." I said.
I'm sorry, I know I promised you a longer chapter but I'm still having computer problems, I still updated though :D Anyway, what did you think? xx
