The days blurred into weeks and the weeks blurred into months. Soon enough it was December meaning Elizabeth's wedding would be happening, there was only a day left before the nuptials, would take place.

Elijah looked down feeling a warm body on top of his, his and Lily's courting had become official; the couple had spent more time together. She was sprawled out on top of him; he could get use to waking up with a warm body next to him. He gently pushed aside her red locks revealing her peaceful looking face. His lips morphed into a wide smile as she snuggled her face into the crook of his neck. Her hand was splayed out on his chest resting where his heart resided.

"So a wedding will be taking place" Elijah murmured his voice was husky with sleep.

"Hmm-"he could feel her eyelashes fluttering against his skin. "I know that" she had gotten use to waking up with Elijah besides her. "Have you found your escort yet?" she shifted and propping her head up so she could look down at him.

"Oh I believe I have someone ideal in mind" Elijah smirked brushing his fingers against her warm cheek.

"Really?"

"Well I found a rather dashing gentleman." Lily ran the tip of her finger down his throat; her red locks flowed around them creating a curtain.

"Oh and who is this gentleman?" he played along.

A mischievous smile came across her face "Well…he's dashing fellow…tall, broad shouldered and…I believe he goes by the name of Damien-"she teased him. a flash of possessiveness shot through the Original, and she giggled when he flipped them over so that he was hovering above her.

"You vixen-"

"A vixen that you adore" Lily countered reached up to touch his cheek but he grabbed her hand and pinned both of her wrists above her head. Elijah gazed down at her and saw the twinkle in her eyes.

"A vixen that I adore?" Elijah purposefully leant down his lips brushing against hers, she felt a tingle travelling down her spine "a vixen-"he nibbled her earlobe causing Lily to gasp. "Who-"she wriggled beneath him when he latched his lips against her throat "Is" she felt his lips moving down the column twice. She threw her head back and moaned when she felt his teeth graze her neck. "An incredible tease" his nose trailed across her collar bone

"Elijah-"she said through gritted teeth, she wanted his lips on hers. And he was evading her. "Just kiss me-"

A large smirk appeared on his face, he looked incredibly domineering on top of her. She felt her gut clench "Your wish is my command" with that he leant forward and pressed his lips against her.

His lips were rough against hers whilst hers was soft, Elijah didn't wait for her to grant him access instead he plunged his tongue into hers. His tongue explored the warm cavern of her mouth he used one hand to pin her wrist, whilst the other travelled down her side.

Elijah could never get enough of her, her body was so soft and supple, and he could feel her breasts being squashed against his hard chest. He pulled back allowing her some time to breath, but his lips didn't relent, he left a warm wet trail across her jaw and throat

"Elijah-"she whispered breathlessly, a low growl left him as he felt his fangs breaking through his gums. Lily's eyes snapped opened and she stared up at his vampiric face. The red head was no longer afraid; in fact she was fascinated at the display

"Lily-"he went to pull back, his grip on her wrists slackened, allowing her hands free

"No. no" she sat up as much as she could and gently cupped his face "I want to see please" this was a first Elijah thought, people would tend to shy away from this but not Lilly. He remained still, and sighed feeling the soft pads of her thumbs caressing his blackened skin. His nose flared and he resisted the urge to plunge his fangs into her wrists.

They were hovering just above his fangs. It would be so easy to do that yet he didn't. Her thumbs moved down to his fangs and she nicked herself against the sharp tip. Lily gasped when his lips wrapped around her bloodied thumb and suck. She felt a pleasant hum through her body when he did that.

"Lily…"he pulled back and his eyes fell to her throat. She nodded and he gently pushed her back into her pillows and straddled her hips. "You-"

"I want to." Lily murmured "the last time I was bitten it wasn't so pleasant. And I would like you to change my-"she was cut off when he pepped her throat with kisses, her stiff body seemed to relax under his touch, and Lily could feel his muscled this against her sides. He sank is fangs into her throat and gently suckled her blood.

His ran his fingers through her thick and tousled hair and he pulled back. He could have kept going on but he knew it wasn't wise. He could see the haze of lust setting over her eyes.

"Lilly-"he didn't get the chance to finish her sentence as she leant up and kissed him hard on the lips, the Original welcome this,

"My turn" Lily smiled coyly and rolled them over so that now she was straddling him. Elijah smirked from beneath her, he allowed her to do this wanting to know what the red head would exactly do. Lily peppered his throat with kisses, and lightly bit down on a certain patch of skin that was located right behind his ear. Lily was thrilled with the sounds that the Original was making, concluding that she also could make him lose control. Her full lips skimmed his jaw and were just a couple of inches away from his lips.

"Lily-"Elijah growled when she teased him, as she pressed her lips against his for a millisecond and then pulled back, moving onto his earlobe,

"What do you want Elijah?" she whispered into his ear, and nibbled on to the piece of flesh. The red head gasped when she felt his large hands sliding up the backs of her thighs and came to a stop on her bottom, he pushed her forward so that she was pressed against him, and his hand gave a gentle squeeze of her rear.

"I want you" he replied huskily. And flipped them over so that now he was once again on top.

"And what would you do to me?" Lily smirked; she giggled seeing the dark look in his eyes. Surprised that she had managed to get under his skin like this.

"Things that a gentle man wouldn't do" before she could question him further he smashed his lips against hers, and bit down hard enough on her bottom lip to draw some blood.

Lily gasped when he sucked her bottom lip, and his hands, they were everywhere, from her bare leg so her thick hair. She could feel his callous hand sliding up her smooth thigh. The Original nestled in between her legs, and their lips remained together, a battle of dominance ensued between the two.

Eventually Elijah won and invaded the warm cavern of her mouth. He had hitched the skirts of her dress up to her hips and stroked the soft skin. He pulled back allowing the petite woman a moment of air, she felt his fingers on her undergarment but before things could get too heated there was knocks on the door.

"Lily it's me" Beth called "are you awake-"

"See you later-"Elijah dropped a quick kiss on to her lips and in a blur of movements he was gone.

"Lily-"

"One moment" Lily swung her legs out of her bed and hastily looked around for her robe "come in" she invited Beth in as she slipped the robe on.

"Still not dressed?" Beth asked

"Just woke up" she easily lied a smile on her lips. "Erm…can you set me up a bath?"

"Of course" Beth bowed her head "Is…are you not well? You look a little flush"

Lily smiled "No, I am perfectly fine. What are the plans for the day?" she walked over to her large mirror

"Petra is coming over to deliver the dresses I believe. And-"

"So the day is being spent for some last minute touch ups for the wedding?" she asked

"I believe so-"

"Wonderful so a headless Lizzy is going to be running around"

Beth chuckled "I'll just set your bath up" she uttered.

Lily watched the maid leave via the mirror. She frowned at her reflection and cursed under her breath. She moved forward and glanced over her shoulder to make sure that Beth wouldn't be walking in on her.

"Oh Elijah you bad man" the red head murmured, she pulled the robe down her shoulders, and saw red splotches coating her shoulders and her collar bone, love bites were scattered on her skin. She picked up her hair and noted the bite mark there.

"Your bath is ready Lily" Beth announced the petite woman dropped her hair and moved it back in place

"Thank you Beth…just pick any dress out will you?" she padded barefooted to her room, and shut the door behind her.

Lily licked her lips and smiled slightly when she could still taste Elijah's touch. She cleared her throat and headed towards her claw-foot tub.

Lily stepped out of the bathroom, and entered her bedroom, "Oh this dress-"she spotted the pale pink gown, "Good choice" she murmured trailing her fingers over the hemmed sleeves. "You like this one?" she looked over to Beth who was making the bed.

"Yes it's a lovely dress-"

"Hmm….Beth well take it"

Beth froze and looked at her mistress "Lily-"

"That is my name. Have it…you might need to get it refitted though…"she murmured "enhance the bottom of the hem but-"

"Lilly I can't-"the red head rolled her bright green orbs and grasped her hands.

"You are my friend. And friends tend to lend each other clothes…either though I don't fancy yours that much…-"she giggled when Beth went to swat her "Have it…consider it one of the many wedding gifts from me to you"

"Fine" the maid gave in, she knew that Lilly was too stubborn to listen to her once she had made up her mind.

"Great….now I rather where the deep blue colour dress" Lily uttered stepping behind the screen; she slipped on the chemise and placed her nightgown over the top.

"Hair?"

"Oh I rather do that today…you have enough work to do" Lily slipped on the velvet dress and turned around so her maid could do the laces. She didn't want Beth to panic when she caught Elijah's handiwork. She left her hair out, pinning one side of it up, and with a final glance in the mirror she made sure that her neck was covered before she left.

"Really Klaus? This is where you are hiding?" Lily smiled at the Original; she had spotted the man in her father's study.

"Hardly hiding love" Klaus smirked over to her, she quirked an eyebrow at the man.

"Hmm…"she sauntered over to him; he was sitting in the large armchair, with a sketch pad in hand "You are tucked away, from unseeing eyes trying to avoid anyone and everyone in your path. I believe you are in fact hiding away, my good sir" she teased him.

She sat down in the vacant seat beside him and leant over his shoulder trying to catch a glimpse of his sketch. But the Original shifted blocking her view of it.

Klaus rolled his eyes and looked over to her "If you must know I was looking for some peace and quiet-"

"Ah right that's a hint" Lily smiled at him "You wouldn't mind if I see your sketches then-"she went to snatch them away but Klaus held them up.

"No-"

"And why not?" she asked hands on her hips as she stood up.

"An artist never reveals his work-Lily-"he snapped she snatched the sketch pad out of his hand.

"Wow-"the red head exclaimed, her eyes wondered over to the images of her and her family faces "these are amazing" she praised the man "you are actually incredible at this-"Klaus was slightly miffed at that, he wasn't accustomed to such positive comments.

"Well at least someone thinks so" the Original snatched the sketch pad out of her hands, Lily frowned and eyed him

"Has no one told you that before?" she asked softly, Klaus strolled over to the large windows.

"No, my father…well I say my father…he never approved" he didn't know why he was confided in her. "He…-"Lily came up to stand beside him, and placed her hand on his arm

"Just treated you differently from your other siblings?" she uttered looking out of the window, her lips tilted upwards into a small smile when she saw Clara attempting climb onto a horse but stumbled. "No matter what you do to try and impress them….you'll never just be good enough in the end" Klaus looked at her, seems like they share one thing in. They were both the black sheep in the family.

"It's not a particularly good thing is it?" she hummed.

Klaus nodded "Not very-"

"Well do not fear. It just thickens your skin. You are an amazing artist Niklaus…" she stood on the tips of her toes and kissed him on the cheek, "If people don't like you…then it is there lost"

Klaus idly tugged a curl "You Lillian Petrova was not what I was expecting" his accent was a strong English one, just like hers.

"And you my Lord are completely oblivious when someone steals from you-"she grinned holding the sketch pad up. Klaus narrowed his eyes

"How-"

"Magic" she giggled and ducked beneath him, "Oh-"she pouted when he used vampire speed to appear in front her and easily took it from her. "No fair-"she spun around causing her hair to fly around her shoulders

"Better luck next time sweetheart" He laughed seeing the glare he was shooting her. She hummed and strolled much to the Original's amusement.

Lily sighed and her eyelashes fluttered opened, she could hear the rest of the manor waking up. Today was the day of Elizabeth's wedding. She instinctively reached out to the space besides believing that a warm body would be there to greet her.

But she frowned when she didn't feel Elijah next to her. Lily looked over to her left and saw that the space was empty. She shook it off, the Original probably gotten up early. He had done that before, but he would usually wake her by tender kisses and soft caresses.

There was a knock on her door, she called for whoever was there to come on in.

"Lily, you should be up. The wedding is taking place and Lady Beatrice wants you with the others" Beth informed her mistress. "Shall I set a bath up?"

"If you would be so kind to" Lily smiled and swung her legs out of the bed. She felt the cool polished wood beneath her bare feet. "Is Rebekah up as well? She wanted to get dressed with me" the red head slipped on her robe and walked over to her large vanity mirror. She saw the pale column of her throat as well as her collar bone was peppered with red splotches, and love bites. She tutted under her breath, once again the vampire had gone too far.

"Did you not know Lily? The Mikealsons have left town early this morning" Beth frowned; she thought that Elijah would have said something to her. After all they had been courting one another.

Lily frowned "What?" she spun around so she could look at her

"Early this morning…Lord Niklaus said that they were grateful for the hospitality but they needed to leave" Beth uttered. Lily swallowed and felt her heart dropped just like that Elijah was gone? She knew about him, about his siblings and he just left like that? She shook her head he and the others must have had a good reason to. Her mind wondered to what it could be though.

"Lily you-"

"Just go set up the bath" Lily ordered, she clutched her heart and sat down on the edge of her bed. How could he just leave her like that? Lily thought he would have the decency to warn her, or even big her a farewell.

She ran her fingers through her hair and looked over to the spot where Elijah would rest and noted an envelope peeking out from beneath the pillow. She picked it up and slit it open

"To my lovely Lillian,

I apologise for my abrupt absence. But I and my siblings had to go.

You are the one woman…who stole my heart, when I was with you-"the thin paper was splotched in tears that had trailed down her face "you brought light into my life, as well as Klaus's and Rebekah's. I was honoured to be in your presence…but know this I truly love you, perhaps one day our paths will cross. However I wish you not to dwell on it, be happy…find that adventure you have been longing for. I have enclosed a vial of blood within this envelope fore I know will need it for the wedding.

Always and forever yours Elijah"

Lily let out a gasp and swallowed she dug her hand into the envelope and it enclosed around a small bottle.

She stood up and dropped the letter onto the nightstand, and uncapped the bottle. He was right, she needed it to cover the marks that adorned her skin, and otherwise her mother and sisters as well as others would no doubt ask questions.

So without further ado she threw her head back and swallowed the blood. She looked in the mirror and saw the marks fading…as if nothing was ever there. Same thing with her brief relationship with Elijah, it just vanished before her eyes. .

"Lily-"Clara ran with a grin on her face "Lizzy is getting married come I want you to do my hair…put the daisies in my braids please."

The elder Petrova forced a smile onto her face, she couldn't dwell on it not right now her sister was getting married today and there were lots of things still needed to be done.

Lily milled around the ballroom, she raised the goblet of wine to her lips, and hummed feeling the tangy taste in her mouth, the orchestra was playing in the corner of the room, and the hall was filled up music, chatter and laughter.

She felt out of place in this group of happy people. Lily's green orbs landed on Elizabeth and her new husband. She felt a pang of longing going through her seeing the obviously loved up couple.

"Can I offer you a dance?" Lily smiled politely at the stout man and declined.

"Sorry I am not in a dancing mood" the man nodded and left, she rolled her eyes seeing the look on his face.

"Really Lillian you should be jumping at the idea of dancing with a man of James's standards" Beatrice sniped, "after all you did let that lovely Lord go. So what did you do?-"the younger woman shot her mother a confused look "to make him flee?"

"Nothing" Lily replied her lips thinning,

Beatrice cackled "Of course not…but that's thing you see. Your lack of proper etiquette no doubt disgusted him. Now if he was interested in your sister-"her voice droned on, it was getting on Lily's nerves. "We'll no doubt we would be having another wedding by spring, and the family would be taken care of. After all the Mikealsons are very rich-"

"Shut up" Lily snapped abruptly startling her mother and those around them, the music quietened down and the party goers were all watching the scene that was taking place.

"Lilian stop-"

"Why should I?" the red head was fuming "You didn't stop did you. Know this mother not everyone is after cash, some do marry for love look at Lizzy there-"Beatrice was getting embarrassed by the looks she was receiving

"I am truly tired of you making me feel worthless. I do not care what you think about me anymore. Because quiet truthfully I do not want your opinion anymore." Lily vented she felt her heart grow lighter at the harsh words, "You mean nothing to me" with that she turned on her heel and left the ballroom.

There was a stunned silence, but it was broken by Elizabeth who clapped her hands. She was proud of her younger sister standing up to their mother.

"She is right you know" she swiftly left following after the younger woman, she spotted Lily sitting by the edge of the fountain, and frowned when she saw her shaking. "Lily-what's wrong?" she asked immediately seeing the tears staining her face.

"Nothing" Lily hastily wiped her tears, but Elizabeth sat down beside her

"You would be more convincing if you weren't crying" Elizabeth murmured, and gently pushed aside her red locks, so she could see her face. There was a strong relationship between the pair; they were close to one another. Truth be told if Elizabeth wasn't around to aid her Lily would no doubt be a shell of herself, and would have let her mother's cutting remarks hurt her even more.

"Sorry for that drama" Lily was referring to what had happened in the ballroom, just moments before; she gazed up at the cloudy sky. She could see the mist of her breath in the air.

"No, there is no need to apologise. I am proud Lily. Mother deserved that" Elizabeth murmured, "But I am curious to know what did she say to cause such an outburst from you?" a cold wind whipped through them but Elizabeth was incessant on finding out what had mother said beforehand.

"She was being herself. Going on about how un-lady like I am" Lily muttered and sighed "and…that Elijah-"

"Where is the Lord and his family?" Elizabeth frowned. And was worried when she heard Lily's breathing hitching. "Lillian-"

"He left me" Lily said tearfully "He left me Liz" she sobbed, the older woman wrapped her arms around her younger sister and rocked her

"Lily-"

"I thought he was the one" she confided in her. "Proves how naïve I am right?"

"No" Elizabeth smiled gently, "honey this is just your first heartbreak. Time heals all wounds. You'll get through this Lily, and you will find someone worthy"

Lily smiled, her lips trembled slightly. "Doesn't feel like I will" she muttered

Elizabeth laughed quietly, "At the time it doesn't but you will" she assured her, and shivered "come along, it's far too chilly out here. And a storm seems to be coming" she took Lily's hand and led her back towards the manor.

"Really Clara…it's only a bit of thunder" Lily groaned when she was forced to wake up from her slumber, the wedding was done and over.

"It's raining as well" Clara snuggled closer, the sky was pouring down with rain,

"Hmm rain…big bother isn't it?" Lily asked and sighed she wrapped her arms around her little sister. "Go to sleep Clara" she hummed a lullaby under her breath and was about to drift off when there was a sudden scream from down the hall.

Lily shot up, "Lily-"

"Shush" the elder teen hissed, "Stay there-"she she could hear more screams, Lily walked over to the door but before she could even open it Beth burst in. the maid was pale and had a look of fright on her face.

"Beth-"

"Don't go out there." Beth cried "There these monsters…they're running around Lily-"

"Monsters?" she heard a sniffle and looked over her shoulder seeing Clara crying. "Beth-"

"They want Petrova women Lily, you and Clara need to flee-"Beth hissed.

"But-"there was another scream, it sounded like Henrietta Lily nodded they needed to run, if these monsters were what she was thinking they were, then if they stay any longer they would surely end up dead.

"Go get Clara ready you are coming with us Beth-"Beth nodded.

Lily slipped on her boots and pulled her cloak over herself, she and the other two froze hearing heavy footfalls coming towards their room. The maid had locked the door but It wouldn't keep the intruder out.

Lily looked around the room, to try and find something she could use to defend themselves with.

"We've got a couple more in here" the man on the other side of the door yelled. "I can hear their heart beats-"Lily grabbed the bedpan and stood beside the door. She gestured for Beth and Clara to go to the window "Knock knock…you going to let me in?" he taunted.

Beth unlatched the window and helped Clara out onto the window terrace. "Well I guess I have to invite myself in-"Beth shrieked with he kicked the door down, Lily flung the bed pan that was full of hot coals down on the vampire's head causing him to roar in pain.

"RUN BETH" Lily screamed the maid followed her orders and disappeared through the window. The red head rushed forward and yelped in pain when the vampire grabbed her via her hair forcing her towards him

"So you must be the feisty Petrova. Mikael warned me about you" he pulled her back so his chest was flushed against her back. "You ensnared Elijah's heart I believe…he had a taste-"she could hear the screams echoing around the manor.

"Might as well-"Lily screeched when he plunged his fangs deeply into her throat, she gripped on to the bedpan pole and slammed her booted foot down startling the vampire, his grip loosened she took that ample opportunity and stabbed the wooden pole of the bed pan through the vampire. Lily sprinted forwards

"We've got a runaway-"the vampire croaked. Lily didn't even look back and sat on the window ledge, she could make out Beth and Clara at the bottom sitting atop a horse.

"LILY HURRY" Clara screamed she was terrified and she only wanted her. Lily slipped off the edge, and sailed down across the wet terrace, she heard a gun fire and an explosion of pain in the middle of her back. The red head slammed onto her knees, and gasped.

"Lily-"

"I'm fine-"Lily panted Beth helped her onto her unsteady feet, the rain poured down on them. "Come on-"she needed to get Clara away from here. She ran forward and leapt onto the horse sitting behind her younger sister Beth gasped seeing the large patch of blood on her mistresses' cloak

"Beth steer-"the maid swallowed and swung onto the horse taking the reins.

"They're coming after us-"Clara whimpered, Lily was pale and shaking she was losing a lot of blood, and she knew she didn't have long. She looked over her shoulder and saw the flaming torches steadily coming towards them. Lily knew one way to slow them down

"Beth you need to keep going" Lily said in a hoarse voice,

"Lily-"

"Keep going-"she jumped off of the hoarse, and stumbled onto her knees. Beth pulled hard on the reins forcing the horse to come to a stop.

"Lily-"

"Clara-"Lily stepped forward her vision was fading fast. "Be strong-"

"What-what you doing Lily?" Clara whimpered

"I need you to be strong…"she wheezed, she could feel the blood seeping out of her, the rain washed away her tears "One day I will see you again…-"the thundering footsteps were getting closer. "One day…go-"

"No" Clara cried grabbing onto Lily's sleeve "Don't go-"

"My dear sweet little sister…remember those stories I told you…how was the ending? What was always the ending?" she clutched onto the little girl's hand

"There's a happy ending-"

"And you are going to get that. But for that to happen you need to go…one day I promise I will see you again." Lily kissed her hand and let go "look after her Beth-"she was pale and her body shook

"I vow to you I will" Beth promised, Lily smiled one last time and slapped the rump of the horse sending it running off.

Lily staggered in the mud and slid and slipped in the opposite direction of where her sister and maid disappeared off to. She entered the woods and staggered against the trees.

She shed her bloodied cloak, and kept going. From what she knew of these monsters they craved blood so they would easily sniff her out.

When she felt like she couldn't run anymore, she dropped to the dirt covered ground. She rolled onto her back, and let out a whimper when her back collided onto the twigs.

Her eyelids were heavy and dropping…the pain was disappearing she was beginning to feel numb. Her breathing slowed down…and her eyes stared up at the night sky the clouds covered the stars…this was it.

This was how it was going to end. Her ears perked up to the sound of footsteps…she could make out three figures.

"Where is the other Petrova?" the man snarled "where?"

"I…"the other vampire trembled in his boots "they were together I swear Mikael-"

"She led us on a goose chase" the more powerful vampire growled and easily tore the snivelling vampire's head off. "This Petrova was smart…"he gazed at the barely breathing red head "Burn the manor down." he ordered "Leave no evidence behind."

"What of her?" the other vampire asked

"Death is embracing her leave her"

Lily's eyes drooped again...her mind flashed images after images appeared in front of her very eyes, she saw Clara's smiling face...her sisters together…her mother actually hugging her. As Lily took her last breath Elijah's face filled her mind…his warm brown eyes. His coy smile…and ever so slowly the light from her eyes faded.

Lily stared up at the night sky unseeing. A tear rolled down her dirt covered cheek, and she was no more.
