Lillith spent the next evening, locked in the London Metropolitan Archives. Where she searched though most of the Archives and found something strange, the Samuel that she knew to be her father, died twenty-six years before she was even born as a mortal,
"This isn't right, if the man known as Samuel died years before I was even born then who is the man that sired me?" Lillith asks, but knew she wasn't going to receive an answer from these dusty volumes of books,
she stood up and put the books away, and left the way she had came, she had her hands in the pockets of her jeans, as she walked though the not so busy streets of London, 'Where do I go next, I don't even know where to begin?'
"Psst," hissed a voice, to her right.
Lillith turned and saw a vampiress standing her long blonde hair in pig tails, her deep forest green eyes, held warmth,
"You seek answers do you not?" the vampiress asks,
"Who are you?" Lillith asks,
"Who I am, is not important, but you must follow me." the vampiress replies,
"I don't have to follow you anywhere not unless you tell me who you are." Lillith snaps,
The blonde vampiress' eyes flashed silver, "You must come."
Lillith tilted her head, "Why?"
"The answers you seek are with us," the vampiress answers,
Lillith was shocked to discover she couldn't read this vampiress' mind, it was like something blocking her gift of mind reading, "I don't know,"
"You are in no danger, We merely wish to speak with you," the vampiress states, before heaving a sigh, "I am Aurora"
"That explains a lot," Lillith mutters,
"You will hold that tongue of yours, Fledgling," Aurora snaps,
"I am not a Fledgling," Lillith replies,
"You are, compared to me." Aurora states.
Lillith felt like had no choice about following the vampiress, as she weaved her way though the mortals, "Where are we going?"
"All will be reveal in due course," Aurora answers,
"Are you always this cryptic with guests?" Lillith asks,
"Who ever said you were a guest, I just said there was no danger to you," Aurora answers, "My um...brothers and sister are eager to meet with you,"
Aurora lead the way to manor, "This is where we stay in this country," she lead the way in, and passed corridors until she came to a family room, there sitting staring straight another were two vampires and one red haired vampiress,
"Astra, Julius, Damien" Aurora greeted then went to sit beside Astra.
"What is this about?" Lillith demanded, "I don't have time for this,"
Astra stared at Lillith, "So she is the one, isn't she?"
"I don't know, Astra. Since we can't trace her family backward though time, even she can't find out about Samuel," Aurora replies,
"you knew my father?" Lillith asks,
"That creature could have never sired someone like you, my child." Damien replies,
Astra smacked Damien, "What Damien is trying to say, is that the creature known as Samuel was only a placeholder, you were born a half vampiress,"
"What?" Lillith screeched.
"Your mother was a direct descendant in the bloodline of a vampiress, it is true that the females of our kind can have children if they want it so," Julius states, "Though she barely had a craving for this life, she could have chosen at any moment to relinquish her mortality,"
Lillith's hands flew to her stomach, she couldn't believe it. Was what they were saying be true?
"The one know as Maxwell changed you into a full vampiress without ever knowing about you, partly our fault." Astra explained.
"Astra, bite your tongue. She doesn't know who we are," Aurora snaps,
"I've been asking that question, since Aurora made me come here." Lillith complained.
"We are Her children." Damien replies, "We are the beginning of our kind,"
"You're the Ancients?" Lillith asks,
"In a way, those who called themselves Ancients are old enough to believe it. But we changed them," Julius answers,
Lillith turned to Aurora "You said there would be answers here,"
"And so you found them," Aurora replies crossing her legs, "Perhaps the answers you were looking for aren't the ones we given you thus far,"
"Take a seat, dearest," Astra states,
Lillith fell backward into a chair, "Why me?"
"because you belong with us, you have our blood in your veins," Astra answers, "or was that a rhetorical question?"
"We came to you tonight, because we need your help." Damien states, "Things in our world have turned into chaos, we need someone to restore the order of things,"
"Then restore it yourself, I want nothing to do with our kind!" Lillith exclaims then stands up, and runs out of the manor and into the streets.
Astra turned to her siblings, "Well that went rather well, do you think she will come back?"
"She'll come around in time, if she is the one to bring our kind into the light," Damien replies,
"Things were so much better when our Mother was still here," Aurora states,
"What about our Father?" Astra asks, "She would have to have a mate, wouldn't she?"
"We don't speak of him," Aurora replies, "Come it's time to hunt,"
Lillith stopped running when she noticed she was half way to her mortal home, and back to where she truly belonged with Cole.
She walked the rest of the way to her home, when she got in she sniffs the air and follows Cole's scent,
"I thought you were going to stay out until sunrise," Cole states,
Lillith flitted to him and leaned her head against his shoulder and sobbed.
"What's wrong?" Cole asks confused and worried.
"I've met the Children of the True Queen," Lillith replies, "They want me to join them."
"And?" Cole asks,
"They want me to until the vampiric world, I think they want me to be Queen of the Vampiric wold" Lillith answers, "I don't want it,"
'Where the hell is Samuel and Elizabeth, they were to bring the wench and the mortal to me,'
Lillith's head snapped up her frustration almost forgotten,
"What.." Cole asks,
"Shush, I hear him." Lillith whispers.
'Never should have trusted that damn demon,'
Lillith turned with her eyes and mind focused on the vampire,
"How the hell are you going to find him?" Cole asks
"follow his thoughts, of course, he's close I can sense it," Lillith answers,
The couple followed the thoughts, until Lillith stopped and stiffen, "He's around here somewhere,"
suddenly something darted in front of Lillith and grabbed her by the throat,
"Well, well, well, look who I found." a voice teased,
Lillith snarls, "Your death,"
"i don't think so, princess. It will be me who kills you." the vampire replies,
The vampire gasps and drops Lillith to the ground,
"You are in our territory," a voice rang out, Lillith looked and seen the four siblings from before walking though them, Astra stared ahead at the vampire without blinking,
"What are you four doing here?" Lillith asks,
"We came to keep this fight fair," Aurora answers, "We are charged with keeping the peace between our kind and others."
"Great the Elders of the vampiric world," Lillith muttered,
"We are nothing like them," Damien states,
"You wanted answers from him, get them quick while you still have the chance," Astra states.
"Why did you change Samuel?" Lillith asks,
"He begged me too, he didn't want to die. He wanted to live forever to gain power, he wanted everything in the world at his feet, he didn't care about his runaway daughter, not when his own wife harassed him about finding her," the vampire replies, like he was in a trance
Lillith felt her heart split in two, he didn't care about her, it was all an act. "How did he meet Elizabeth,"
"Working with her for years, met her before even finding out about the magical world, she set him up with Grace. Elizabeth knew what the woman was when they first met, she wanted to use a child of hers, to gain what she wanted." the vampire answers,
"Why do you want to me kill us?" Lillith asks in a snarl,
"Because of the Prophecy, The Heiress of the Queen will have the power to hear a being's thoughts, and will destroy our way of life," the vampire replies, "Her mortal lover, shunned by his first love will find true love with the Heiress and bring forth a new age of peace,"
Lillith turned to Astra and Aurora as they both had unfocused eyes staring straight at the vampire, "Release him of your gifts, you have done enough,"
The vampiresses blinked, "Behind you!"
The vampire attacked Lillith but she was too quick and pinned his arm behind his back and shoved him against a wall, she leaned forward and whispered to him, "I have a message from Malik,"
Lillith sank her fangs into his neck, and let the liquid fire that was the vampire's blood, that was so unlike drinking from a human or demon, once she drained him dry, she smirked "You're dead,"
"I told you so," Damien states looking at his sisters,
"Don't make me turn my power on you, brother dear." Astra states,
"No thank you, I like my mind intact," Damien replies, "nor do I like speaking the truth while in a trance,"
"That was you, who saved me?" Lillith asks,
"Yes, Aurora and I both have powers, I have the power to cause someone pain," Astra replies,
"I can make someone tell the truth, without ever realizing it," Aurora replies,
"Only a few of us have powers," Julius explains, "And they tend to cause more harm then good half the time,"
"What about that one that could burn anyone, if he was angered? He was in the company of a telepath?" Damien asks,
Lillith gasps, that was Alec's power and they must be talking about Darius.
"He has three more brothers and two sisters," Lillith states in a strangled voice,
"You know him? How?" Astra asks,
"Because I'm his sister," Lillith replies
Astra ran up to Lillith and grabbed her hands, "Please you have got introduce me, I always wanted to meet him,"
"Down girl," Aurora states, as she walked up and grabbed Astra by the ear,
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, let go of me," Astra whined.
"We'll be in touch, see ya." Aurora states then dragged her sister off,
The four disappeared into the night,
"What a strange family," Cole states, "Should I be calling you, your highness?"
"No, excuse me but you fit the second part just fine," Lillith answers,
"But I'm not mortal," Cole protested,
"You're indestructible, but still mortal," Lillith replies, "That stupid Prophecy never said anything about being indestructible,"
"Are you okay, I mean I couldn't risk sending an energy ball at him," Cole asks,
"I'm find, it's not that I need air," Lillith replies, "But I do like breathing, it's a habit,"
"So you found out what you needed to know, what next?" Cole asks,
Lillith smiled at him, "I had a few ideas," she took off running at human pace, "Catch me if you can,"
Cole stood there in surprise for a few moments, then began to chase after her, "What do I get If I catch you?"
"What do you think," Lillith laughed.
