Walking into the bed chamber Gillian called out, "Mama… Could you clear something up for me?"

Pulling herself up on an elbow Lilith said, "If I can!"

A furrow appeared between Gillian's brows at the bridge of her nose as she stated in a tight tone of voice, "I thought Gilgamesh was my father!"

The heads of Lilith's brows came to a point as a furrow formed at the bridge of her nose, the expression on Lilith's face said, I was afraid you would ask that.

"Gillian!" Lilith said in a breathy protective tone, "Everything I have done is to protect you"

Drake walked in stating in a deep baritone voice, "Your mother and I agreed that it would be best that the world think you were the daughter of Gilgamesh…"

Trying to keep an even modulated tone Lilith came in with, "As the daughter of the two most powerful vampires who ever lived, your blood is very powerful..."

Drake stated softly, "As Katerina found out, it elevated her strength to an infinite degree"

"Come here Gillian" Lilith stated closing her eyes she placed both hands on her daughter head with her thumbs over the center of her forehead. Gillian felt a momentary surge of power and then it faded, in a small hesitant tone Gillian asked, "Mama what did you just do?"

"I unlocked your shadow walking ability" Lilith stated firmly, "I want you to escort Katerina to the island and get the dagger from Nadia"

Looking at Gillian, Lilith told her curtly, "At the moment the only reason Ester Mikaelson hasn't found you is I am masking your presents"

"As soon as I Shadow Walk I leave the protection…" Gillian stated.

"You're going to have to use the deepest part of the Shadow world to get to your destination" Lilith stated in a commanding tone.

"What aren't you telling us?" Katerina asked.

It was Drake who answered the question as he said softly, "The ones that live there are beyond evil…"

"Great" Katerina stated, "Just Great"

Such the pessimist…" Drake stated offhandedly, "It's part of the reason I wanted Lilly to turn you again."

Looking at Katerina, Drake said offhandedly, "Both Lilith and I were made by La Magra the god of all vampires"

"You're Primordial Vampire's…" Katerina stated, "I knew Lilith was old but…"

Moving with the grace of a panther Lilith stated, "Katerina love, think about what i did to Marcel and Klaus"

"We are older than Silas, Lucifer, and Kronos…" Drake said matter of factly.

"The fact that you are of our bloodline means you are protected… even from the witch!" Drake spat, "You never should have taken her as an apprentice Lil"

"You mean Ester" Katerina asked softly.

"No Dahlia" Lilith said curtly.

"Katerina" Lilith stated in a thick heavy tone, "Remember the Island and the dark energy you felt"

"Yes" Katerina said fearfully.

"To defeat Dahlia, I will have to embrace that energy completely" Lilith stated.

"I' m going to get the worst of it" Katerina said sadly.

"Wait I minute" Katerina said, "Your going to turn off-"

"No, but I will come dangerously close" Lilith stated, "I need you to be my anchor, I need you to pull me back"

The thought of a nine thousand year old vampire with no humanity gave Katerina the shivers.


Drake and Lilith arrived at Mikaelson Manor two days ago, and Klaus was watching Drake erect large pikes along the path leading up to the house, in a honeyed tone Klaus asked, "Putting up a tent are we?"

In a cold-cruel and tone Drake said, "I had 20,000 Turks impaled and put on display outside the city of Targoviste: The sight was so repulsive that the invading Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, after seeing the scale of my carnage and the thousands of decaying bodies being picked apart by crows, turned back and retreated to Constantinople.."

"A man after my own heart…" Klaus stated.

"Don't get him started on the homeless" Lilith stated flatly.

"Ah…" Klaus stated in a speculative tone.

"All I did was gather them all in one place and burn them alive" Drake stated matter of factly.

The comment alone made the bile in Hayley gut collect in her mouth as she stated to hurl.

"That" Klaus said pointedly, "Is cruel even by my standards"

"Now" Drake said in a commanding tone, "About this army of wolves"

"I can't help but notice two of those pikes are white oak" Klaus remarked speculatively!

"Thanks to your sister we know where you stashed the bodies of Kol and Finn when you first arrived in New Orleans and we took them…" Lilith stated coldly.

Horrified Hayley said in a taut tone, "That would mean…"

"I went back in time…" Lilith stated offhandedly.

Smelling the air Drake said calmly, "I will give you two hours two get what loyal followers you can"

"Then what" Hayley asked speculatively.

Giving Lilith a sideways glance Drake said coldly, "We go hunting"


Thirty minutes later High noon in the bayou, everything went dark, looking at Lilith, Drake said, this will be fun. The Mikaelson's watched as both Drake and Lilith set about incapacitating all the Werewolves not loyal to the family.

An hour later the last of the rounded prisoners were literally sitting atop the pikes screaming in agony as they were slowly impaled from bottom to top.

Then it was time for the last two, Lilith transferred the spirit of Kol back to his original body, her pupils suddenly dilated and then contracted as she told Kol, "You are paralyzed… you can speak, as soon as you are atop the pike you will feel, everything!"

Lilith transferred the spirit of Finn back to his original body, her pupils suddenly dilated and then contracted as she told Finn, "You are paralyzed… you can speak, as soon as you are atop the pike you will feel, everything!"


Three and a half hours later at the magic shop of Lenore Shaw, Drake walks in stating "Wondering where your beloved Kol and Finn are…, I have them and your pet wolves as well"

Ester tried using her witch's psychic pain technique on Drake.

"That almost tickled…" Drake stated coldly, "However it's a pale imitation of a Primordial Vampire's abilities"

Looking at Lenore Shaw Drake stated coldly, "Shale I demonstrate"

Lenore Shaw's body withered in pain as she let loose with a thin shrill moan of pain

Turning to leave, Drake said coldly, "You may collect them at the mansion…"
