Lily's eyes fluttered open, she felt the fiery feeling in her throat a tale tell sign that she needed to feed. She clenched her eyes shut feeling the pain of her new fangs ripping through her gums, the veins around her eyes blackened and protruded. She pushed the urge back and her red eyes morphed back into their natural colour.
"Lily?" she felt Elijah stirring next to her. He had managed to calm her enough last night to fall asleep. She glanced over her shoulder and smiled at him.
"Morning-"she smiled
He narrowed his eyes at her "Are you well?" Elijah murmured.
She was starving at the moment, but Lily didn't want to risk hurting anyone. Better yet she did not want to be a vampire in the first place, but Niklaus seems to have made that decision for her.
"Yes" she replied, and inched closer towards him. Elijah ran his fingers
"Lily-"but she wasn't listening to him, since she was a new vampire everything was heightened for her, meaning her emotions as well. The red head closed the space between them and pressed her lips against his. Elijah cupped the back of her head and pulled her closer, their tongues battled for dominance. He growled and flipped them over causing Lily to submit. She felt Elijah's hand coming to slide up her le, he pulled his lips back and attacked her throat, and he peppered it with kisses, and pushed down the front of her chemise.
Lily felt different emotions all at once, one part of her was feeling immense pleasure and the other half had a longing to bite down hard on Elijah. She wanted blood. She gasped feeling his lips in between her breast. Lily couldn't hold it in anymore, and let out a snarl.
Elijah was startled when she flipped them over, she bared down on him straddling his hips. He found the sight strangely erotic, Lily's fangs peaked from her lips and her eyes morphed red.
"Lillian, retract your fangs" Elijah commanded, he needed to help her with control. She didn't listen; instead she growled and sank her fangs into his throat. The Original wasn't perturbed and let her feed from him, he knew it was something personal and he was more than willing for her to feed from him.
Elijah groaned cupped her rear as she writhed on him, completely lost in bloodlust. If he was a normal human he had no doubt that she would have killed him. Lily heaved and took more mouthfuls of that intoxicating liquid; she pulled back and was about sink her fangs in again but found herself flipped beneath Elijah.
"Lillian stop" Elijah ordered her face was marred in blood "stop." He said more firmly. She blinked and came back down from her high. Her eyes widened when she saw the gaping wounds on Elijah's throat. Right before her eyes it was closing up.
"Oh my god-"she cried out, "Elijah I didn't mean to-"tears welled up in her eyes. The Original hushed her and pulled her up into a sitting position, and hauled her into his lap; he conjured up a cloth and wiped her mouth so it was free of blood.
"Hush my sweet Lily" he murmured into her ear. "You were hungry-"
"I bit you-"she shook her head, but he caught her chin and stared into her bright green eyes.
"You were hungry and you lost control. I was a fool not to get you to feed earlier" Elijah countered "we need to get you to feed, in a safe and smart way."
"What if I can't?" Lily asked looking frightened at the idea of hurting someone.
"You can" Elijah brushed aside a red lock and tucked it behind her ear, he ran his thumb across her bottom lip, this small action calmed her. "But if you are so against the idea of drinking human blood, there is another way?"
She perked up hearing him, "There is?"
Elijah nodded "Animal blood. You can hunt animals and feed from them." He would have preferred it if she actually learnt how to control her bloodlust from humans. "But Lil-"
"I want to do that" Lily cut him off, "Let's do that."
"That's not going to work" a voice rang out from the doorway, she looked over Elijah's shoulder and felt a bout of hatred tore through her seeing the Original there. Elijah clamped his hands down on Lily's hips feeling the newly turned vampire tensing, he wouldn't put pass her to launch herself at him.
"Still not friendly?" Niklaus smirked
"Bite me" Lily growled anger tore through her; she clutched her mouth when she felt her fangs coming through.
"With pleasure. But I believe my brother would disagree with that" Niklaus drawled "try and wean her on human blood Elijah otherwise we know what would happen. Here you'll need this" he threw something towards her and then walked out. Elijah caught the object Lily's eyes dropped down to the ring, the dark haired Original saw the confused look on her face.
"It seems Niklaus has procured a daylight ring for you" he murmured, and slid the ring on to her index finger. "Now let's hunt."
Lily groaned her brows furrowed together hearing the sound of her alarm going off. She yawned and stretched in her bed. She was about to reach over and turn it off but before could her bedroom door was flung open and Caroline stormed in.
"Care-"
"Your freaking alarm clock is so loud-"Caroline shrieked and slammed her hand down hard. The newly turned vampire hadn't got accustomed to her new found strength hence Lily wasn't too surprised when her alarm clock smashed. She pushed herself so her back was against headboard.
"Really Caroline?" Lily quirked an eyebrow crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Caroline smiled sheepishly "Sorry…I'm really sorry-so sorry-"she said and looked horrified when her eyes welled up in tears.
"Ssh" Lily hushed her "its fine" she assured her and swung her legs out of her bed. "Come on" she gestured for the baby vampire to follow her.
"Sorry I don't know what's gotten into me" Caroline followed her to the kitchen and settled herself down at the breakfast bar.
"It's your emotions" Lily replied starting to make some tea for them pulled out two mugs from her cupboard "they're heightened. So whatever you felt before would be like a hundred times more" she said. "We need to have a quick vampire 101."
Caroline nodded "So wait…say if I'm-"Lily looked up from the mugs hearing the teen trailing off, the water had boiled "…well-"
"Caroline just say it." Lily ordered sliding one mug over to the teen, as she sat down on the stool, there was a bowl of sugar between them.
"Well if I was horney before-you're laughing-"Caroline whined, Lily grinned and mimed zipping her mouth shut gesturing for the new vampire carry on. "I was horney what would happen?"
Lily attempted to smother her giggles but couldn't, she easily avoided the cloth napkin that Caroline threw at her.
"Erm…I believe you'll be horney-ier?" Lily uttered.
Caroline frowned "But you're a vampire so-"
"Honey I've been around for some time, heightened emotions and all that you get used to it till you'll just feel normal." Lily said taking a sip of her tea. "Now onto more pressing matters, blood." She meandered over to her fridge and pulled out what Caroline could see was a bottle of blood and a blood-bag.
"Ok-"Lily declared and rolled her emerald green orbs when the blond vampire's remained on the bottle of blood. "Caroline-pay attention" she said. Caroline shook her head "Ok…blood. Major downside is that you'll crave for this, you'll want this. And at times you don't care what you have to do to get this." She explained "Now there are two ways to go about this, animal blood-"she uncapped the bottle and handed it over to Caroline. She watched on in amusement as the blond vampire took a whiff of the scarlet liquid and grimaced. "Have a taste" she urged her.
Caroline really didn't want to since it didn't smell as appealing as human blood. But she gave it a go. Lily took a sip of her tea and canted her head to the side when Caroline made a pained expression, the red head vampire blurred to the side just managing to avoid the projectile of blood that came from Caroline.
"Lovely" Lily said sarcastically shaking her head.
"Oops-"Caroline wiped her mouth. "I don't think that's going to work for me."
The red head gave her a look of disbelief. "You think?" she exclaimed "and you're tidying this up" she nodded towards her cupboard which was covered in blood. "Try this" she slid over the blood, Lily watched as Caroline ripped open the blood bag, and could tell that she was enjoying this. The older vampire finished the rest of her tea. Caroline let out a satisfied groaned
"Enjoyed it?" she asked.
"Yes" Caroline licked her lips
"So preference is human blood? Not totally surprising since you're a newbie." Lily said more to herself than to the blond. "So downside of being a vampire is cravings, emotional issues are bound to arise, you'll feel alienated and…oh right. You have keep this a secret. About all of us Caroline" she said the last seriously.
Caroline nodded eagerly "Ok…so is there any good stuff, besides the living forever part?" she asked.
Lily smiled and shook her head, "Sometimes living forever has its downsides as well…but there are perks this for example-"with that right before Caroline's eyes she disappeared.
"Oh my gosh" the blond said in awe "we can turn invisible?"
Lily snorted from behind her, causing Caroline to squeal and spin around. She could see that the blond was obviously confused about what just happened. "Ok, let's get some things straightened out. Vampires don't turn invisible-"she ignored the low whine that came out of Caroline's mouth. "We have enhanced speed and strength." She informed her
"What about food?" Caroline asked "or do we just survive on blood?"
Lily shook her head "If you have a sufficient amount of blood then you should be able to consume food and drinks as usual-"just then her cell rang, she grabbed the blaring device and her brows furrowed seeing the caller ID.
"Damon?"
"Morning sexy-"
"What'd you want?" she asked, and saw Caroline staring at her. "You're eavesdropping-"she mouthed to the new vampire, who had the decency to look abashed.
"We need you here, Alaric is going to come over to shed some light hopefully on what the Lockwoods are-"
"Damon-"
"Before you argue I know you're curious about what they are as I am." He said in a sing song voice and laughed when she swore at him.
"Fine I'm on my way" she hanged up on him. Lily placed her cell back down on the counter top
"You're leaving-"
"Yes and you're staying here. It's sunny out and that will kill you" Lily said over her shoulder as she walked down the corridor, Caroline trailed behind her.
"I want to go outside" the blond whined flopping down on Lily's bed, the red head was rummaging through her closet trying to find something to wear. "How comes you, Damon and Stefan-"
"We have these" Lily said holding up her hand showing the blond her lapis lazuli ring.
"A magic ring?" Caroline exclaimed "When do I get one of those?" she asked, watching as Lily pulled out a pair of jeans and a top.
"Well that may be tricky" she announced "we need a witch to spell a ring for you and the only witch in town is…-"
"Bonnie" Caroline finished off and sighed "which she won't do since she hates me."
Lily patted her shoulder "Don't say that…just give her time. Ok?" when the blond vampire nodded, the red head blurred off into the shower. Lily quickly washed herself and then dressed. She dried her scarlet locks and tied it into a ponytail.
She grabbed her bag and exited the room, "Caroline-"she shook her head seeing the new vampire eating through her food.
"What oh-"
"Just stay inside and try and not to trash the place." She said "I'll be back later." With that Lily locked the door behind her and made her way towards her car. She pulled out of her driveway and drove towards the Boarding House.
"So how's Caroline doing?" Elena asked, Lily had arrived at the Boarding House about ten minutes ago, the doppelganger was sitting on the couch besides Stefan.
"Here you go" Damon handed the red head a glass of blood,
"Thanks" she smiled and took a sip. "Well…not too bad, she broke my alarm clock…spat blood on my cupboard and was eating though my fridge by the time I left. But other than that she is doing brilliantly" she said the last part sarcastically. Elena's eyes nearly bugged out
"Oh" Damon winced "tough break I haven't taken care of baby vamps…-"
"In forever?" Lily smirked at him. "No she's doing well considering, we just need to get a handle on her cravings."
Stefan hummed and leant forward "Have you tried giving her animal blood first? Then she won't risk hurting anyone"
Lily tutted "Not going to work, giving a new vampire animal blood? She needs to get a handle on her cravings before she can move onto that-"
"It'll be easier though-"Stefan argued.
Lily narrowed her eyes at the younger vampire "It will not work Stefan. I gave her the choice, animal or human-"
"Of course she'll say human she's new-"
"It's good she did" Lily snapped, Damon and Elena watched the pair, their eyes darted between them as if a tennis match was going on "Getting a vampire straight onto animal blood is a huge mistake. They won't be able to control themselves in large crowd…it's just not a good idea."
"Speaking from experience Lily?" Damon asked.
"Yes." Lily replied, this surprised the other three especially Elena, out of the town vampires the red head was the most controlled, truthfully the doppelganger didn't think that she ever saw Lily in a blood lust induced state. "But that was a long time ago."
A moment of silence settled over them, she placed the empty glass on the coffee table, her heightened hearing picked up the sound of footfalls. "Alaric is here" Lily announced just as the doorbell rang. She finished the blood and set it down. She looked up seeing Damon opening the door.
"Thanks for coming Ric" Stefan uttered.
"Could I get you something to drink?" Damon offered "coffee? Bourbon?"
"Since when did you turn so hospitable?" Lily asked as Alaric sat down beside her.
"I've always been this hospitable" the raven head smirked "I would be even more you know…if you and I you know-"he wagged his eyebrows up and down gently.
"I think the whole room knows what you mean" Lily drawled, "Ric what is he?"
"A dick" Alaric blurted out
"Hey-"
"Oh get over it Damon, we sit around in the staff room-"
"Thinking about me? Wondering how I look naked?" Damon smirked blurring behind her, causing the hunter to jump. Lily grinned
"No we bitch" she said simply. "Technically we do all the students" she added causing Elena to giggle.
"So Lily-"
"Ok" Stefan spoke up wanting to bring the topic back on hand. "Let's move onto more pressing matters"
Alaric nodded and felt more relaxed having Lily around, he knew he would have been uncomfortable with Damon lingering around. Since he and the vampire weren't exactly on friendly terms but they were getting there. The red head vampire leant back and crossed one leg over the other.
"Right, Elena mentioned that you needed my help with something" the history teacher said.
"Yeah" Stefan nodded "we were hoping you would shed some light on to the Lockwood family."
Lily bit her bottom lip, she was curious about them. She knew they were different and in her time here she hadn't come across their kind. So she concluded whatever they were, they were rare and not as common as vampires.
"Now why would I know anything about the Lockwoods?" Alaric shifted he placed his arm behind Lily.
"Well you wouldn't" Damon stated sitting down in an armchair "but your dead not dead vampire wife might."
"Lovely way to say it" Lily rolled her eyes; she had gotten use to Damon's bluntness, one of the qualities she had grown to admire about him. one thing the red head despised was when people beat around the bushes.
"Isobel's research from when you guys were at Duke together" Elena clarified pulling her knees up to her chest.
"You had said that she spent years researching this town" Stefan added.
Lily tucked in a stray curl and looked over to the hunter "Isobel's research here was rooted in folk lore and legend. At the time I thought most of which was fiction" he uttered, she could tell that he had difficulty speaking about his former wife.
"Like that amazing vampire story-"Damon exclaimed.
Both Lily and Alaric exchanged looks and said in unison "Shut up dick." Damon huffed and rolled his icy blue eyes.
"Aside from vampires what else?" Elena asked, a small smile played on her lips.
"The lycanthrope" Alaric answered.
Lily's emerald orbs widened "Werewolves…of course" she breathed. If there were vampires why wouldn't there be werewolves.
Damon shook his head not believing the hunter for a second "No way. It's impossible-"
Lily frowned "Is it?" Stefan asked, he was much more open to the idea than his brother. Damon glared at his brother "I've been on this planet for a hundred-sixty semi years and have never come across one….-better yet Lily's been about for nearly four hundred years has she ever come across one? And if they exist where are they?"
Lily licked her lips "Can't say I have, but there are tales about these creatures. If we haven't seen them, well it just shows they are better at hiding in the shadows we are. And that they can blend in with human society" she said.
"Why do you suspect the Lockwoods?" Alaric asked.
"Because" Damon started, Lily got up onto her feet to stretch her legs "vervaine didn't affect the Lockwoods but the Gilbert device did-"
"And that device only affects supernaturals" Lily added. "And Matt said that the only reason they crashed was because Tyler could hear a noise." She leant against the back of the couch.
Stefan nodded "And at the school carnival his uncle Mason exhibited inhuman behaviour when he fought one of the carnival workers. This all suggests that this is some supernatural entity." He finished off.
"We were hoping that Isobel's research would help us find out what is it" Elena said.
Lily leant forward placing her elbows on the back of the couch "Isobel things are still at Duke." Alaric said "I mean her office is still there and technically she still is missing."
"So can we get access to it?" Damon asked. "We need to know what we're dealing with, if this wolf man thing is true-"
"Which is most likely true" Lily commented.
"-it's not good" Damon carried on regardless. "It means Mason Lockwood is a real like Loon Chaney and that little Tyler punk may as well just be Loon Chaney junior which means Bella Lugois meaning me, is totally screwed"
Lily's eyebrows shot to her hairline and she poured herself a drink, "You have a thing for metaphors."
"And I have a thing for you" Damon grinned nodding towards his crotch, Lily balked at him and in retaliation she picked up his Bourbon and dropped onto the floor. "Lily" he groaned
"That's for being a pervert" she smiled at him. Lily felt her cell vibrating in her pocket and pulled it out. She saw that it must be Caroline since the blond vampire would be the only one in her house to use her landline "Hello Caroline" she murmured already making her way further across the room
"Oh my god Lily, Matt is calling me what should I do?" she asked.
Lily licked her lips and rubbed her temples, this may be a slight problem she mused. "Listen very carefully to me Caroline. You need to ignore Matt for now-"
"What?" Caroline moaned "why? I swear…I'm ok. There's a pool party going on down the watering hole and-"
"No" Lily snapped instantly shutting the teen up, "listen you're a new vampire, so you won't have any control. And at the moment there is nothing to protect you from the sun. ergo if you do go out in the sun you're most likely going to turn to ash. Stay inside and I'm coming." She hanged and tucked her cell into her pocket.
Lily spun on her heel and immediately bumped into Damon. "You are super sexy and drool worthy when you're being commanding. You know…I have a large bed and-"
"Do you hit on all your friends?" she asked quirking an eyebrow.
"Only the hot ones" he exclaimed.
Lily canted her head to the side, she could hear that the others who were in the parlour, she surprised Damon by pinning him to the wall. "Let me ask you something Damon" she pressed her body against his and smothered her giggles when the younger vampire gulped audibly. "What would you do once you got me?" she purposefully let her lips brush his earlobe.
"So many bad things" Damon growled and clenched his eyes shut when he felt her full soft lips brushing against his jaw.
"Well honey I don't go for men who are in love with other women." Lily stepped back causing Damon to snap his eyes open. "Really don't hit on your friends…otherwise I'll be very disturbed by your budding friendship with Alaric. Now if you don't mind me I have a baby vampire to deal with." With that Lily strutted off.
Damon groaned damn…he couldn't help but smirk, he knew she was messing with him and in an odd way he found it exhilarating, she didn't take any crap from him and it took his mind off the whole Katherine and Elena saga.
"You owe me a bottle of Bourbon-"he yelled after her, she turned around and walked backwards so she could still see his face.
"And you owe me a bottle of Malt whisky, a bottle of Bourbon…and a bottle of Champaign I think" Lily countered.
"Erm…call it even?"
Lily snorted and merely shook her head, before she clamoured into her car and sped out of the driveway.
"Here coffee can also help the cravings" Lily said, she had come home to the sight of Caroline moping in the dark corner of the room.
"Is that it? I'm so freaking hungry-"
"There's some blood in it" Lily said as she set about pull the shutters down and close the curtains. She sighed and looked at the blond, she needed to call Bonnie and ask the vampire to spell a ring for Caroline. She wondered how she exactly she would convince the witch in the first place. The red head was brought out when there were rapt knocks on her front door.
She jumped onto her feet and opened the door "Stefan" she greeted the broody vampire, she could see Alaric's car behind him it. It was parked outside the Gilbert House, they must be off to Duke she deduced. "Come in" she stepped aside allowing him in.
"Hey Stefan" Caroline greeted the male vampire.
"Hi, how you holding up?" he asked the blond,
"Good…besides wanting to sink my teeth into everything" she grumbled, Lily snickered it felt like eons ago when she had felt like that.
"Right, so Stefan what can I do for you? Aren't you meant to be leaving for Duke?" she asked leaning against the closed front door.
"Right erm…I'm not going Duke-"Stefan revealed, Lily cocked an eyebrow she doubted that he would let Elena go alone with Damon. "I was hoping you could go with them."
Lily scoffed "Yeah….wait you're serious?" she asked incredulously.
Stefan hastily nodded "I am…please-"
"No" Lily replied curtly "not going to happen. In case you've forgotten I have a baby vampire to take care of" she waved her hand in Caroline's direction.
"Hey-"the blond called out.
"Hush" the older vampire uttered "no can do Stefan-"
"I can take care of her" Stefan rushed out. "I was just thinking…that you're older so stronger. If they do run into any trouble you can help them out."
"And to also keep an eye on Elena and Damon?" Lily rolled her emerald green orbs. "I have better things to do-"
"Please. I know you're curious about the Lockwoods."
"Stefan I can't I have to acquire a daylight ring for Caroline, that's more important than your love triangle thingy…"Lily murmured, Stefan blurred forward so he was in front of her.
"What if I told you I could convince Bonnie to make Caroline a daylight ring?" Stefan offered. Lily narrowed her eyes "please"
"Fine" Lily reluctantly agreed "If I found out something has gone wrong I'm not going to be happy."
Lily crossed the seat and saw Damon leaning against the car.
"Lily my favourite red head are you coming as well?" Damon called out to her, she could see Alaric and Jenna talking at the front door, and the strawberry blond haired woman waved the English teacher over.
"Seem so. Be a doll and put this in the car" with that she threw her bag at Damon, he easily caught it
"You're lucky you're sexy-"he yelled after her retreating figure. Lily grinned and walked up the pathway.
"Hey Lily" Jenna grinned,
"Hi-"her eyes darted between Alaric and the human,
"So you're going as well?" Jenna asked, Lily nodded, this cause Jenna feeling slightly more better knowing that the red head would be there.
"Yes…I always fancied seeing Dukes, I heard there libraries are quiet amazing" Lily uttered, "but forget that I need to talk to you-"she grabbed Jenna's hand and dragged her into the kitchen. "So you and Alaric huh?"
"What about it?" Jenna asked trying to play dumb. But the look the red head shot her telling her that she didn't buy it. "I don't know-"she admitted truthfully. Lily leant against the kitchen counter; she could hear movement upstairs alerting her that Elena and Stefan were still getting ready. "He's been blowing hot and cold for a while and then sometimes he just disappears days on end." She confided in her friend.
Lily hummed "You want me to beat his arse?" she offered.
Jenna laughed and shook her head "I just don't know what's going on…I really really like him" she whispered wanting to make sure that the History teacher didn't hear her.
"Jen, just give him time. You know the things that take time are really the best of them." Lily murmured.
Jenna smiled feeling much better "Thanks" she uttered.
"Lily we're leaving" Alaric called,
"I'll catch you later" she bid the other woman a farewell and exited the house just catching sight of Elena kissing Stefan. She rolled her eyes seeing the annoyed look on Damon's face. Lily strolled down the pathway and made her way towards the car.
"Stop staring its creepy" Lily whispered to the other vampire.
Damon huffed "Fine time to go" he opened the car door and gestured for Lily to get in. she climbed but then cursed when he slapped her bottom.
"Arse-"
"You're in America Lily, we pronounce it as ass." Alaric chortled from the front seat. The hunter would be driving them there.
"Shut up Alaric" Lily uttered and leant back in her seat, Elena climbed in beside her "buckle up Elena" she stretched her arms above her head and she heard her bones popping.
"You're not buckled up-"Elena pointed out.
Lily grinned at her "Your right, but if we do get in a car crash I'll be able to walk it off. You not so much." Elena nodded and buckled up. Alaric started the car and they were off, Lily didn't miss the tension between Damon and Elena and she caught Alaric's eye in the mirror. They both knew it was going to be a long car ride.
"Hey Alaric" Lily called flickering to the next page of her book "have you done your lesson plans yet?" she asked. Alaric groaned knowing he forgotten something, Lily laughed "Well you've got some work to do after."
"No kidding" Alaric grumbled a sly smile came upon his face "hey Lily-"
"No I am not planning your lessons again." Lily cut him off her eyes dropping back down to her book.
"Wait you planned his lessons?" Elena spoke up, Lily looked over to her and nodded
"Yep, your last two weeks-worth of lessons. I did. Because the mighty hunter forgot about his day job" Lily smiled hearing Alaric cursing under his breath.
"No wonder they were so good." Elena commented causing the red head to laugh and Alaric to glare ahead.
Another moment of silence descended upon them, Lily went back to reading her book.
"How you doing back there?" Damon asked, from the corner of her eye she noted that he was looking at Elena, aiming the question towards her. Lily wasn't surprised when the doppelganger blanked him. "You know this whole pretending to hate me thing is getting old"
"I don't think she's pretending" Alaric scoffed.
"Got that right, you kill her brother" Lily uttered turning the page.
"There's a huge asterisk next to that statement." Damon announced "He came back to life-"
"Yeah thanks to a ring you didn't know he was wearing" Elena scoffed glaring at the vampire.
"Why are you so sure that I didn't-"
"You didn't though" Lily commented causing them to look at her "you came crying to my porch-"
"Lily-"Damon scowled; she cocked an eyebrow and shrugged. "I did know." He told Elena.
"Did you?" Elena asked looking at him.
"Yes-"
"You're lying" the doppelganger stated and proceeded to glare out of the window.
"Elena I knew he was wearing it" Damon informed her looking over his shoulder "that big tacky ring, it's hard to miss."
"You are aware you're also insulting Alaric right?" Lily questioned.
"Yes-"
"Dick" the hunter sniped; Lily's lips twitched in amusement and went back to reading her book.
Lily was pulled out of the world of fiction when she heard the sound of a bell tolling. She snapped her book shut and looked out of the window they arrived at Dukes.
"We're here-"Damon declared in a sing-song voice.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious-"Lily countered and zipped her bag shut after stuffing her book in there. They all climbed out of the car and headed to one of the many buildings. Lily inhaled the fresh air. And sighed loving the smell, this campus was surrounded by woodland. Alaric led them to where Isobel's office was, Elena and Damon were on his heels whilst the red head brought up the rear.
"So Isobel was officially employed by the anthropology department. Given that most paranormal phenomenon is rooted in folk-lore" Alaric explained.
Lily's eyes trailed around the old musty wooden furnished building. Her head snapped up hearing footsteps coming towards them.
"Excuse me" Alaric said seeing a woman rummaging through one of the many drawers. "Hi, I'm Alaric Saltzman I called earlier."
Lily could see that the woman was pretty, she smiled revealing her pearly white teeth "Yes" she nodded standing in front of the group, she went to shake Alaric's hand as she introduced herself "I'm Vanessa Monroe. Research assistant compared to folk lore." Lily didn't miss the way Vanessa's eyes trailed over Damon, Elena and herself, her brown orbs widened slightly seeing the red head. "I'll just get her keys-"
"I'm sorry these are my friends Elena, Damon and Lily" he introduced the trio. "I hope this isn't too much of an imposition." He said.
"Oh please" she smiled "Isobel's office is right through there-"she nodded towards the door that was on the side. "Isobel was one of my first professors, I'm a grad student she was brilliant and one of the reasons I went into Folk-lore. I have to ask has there been any news-"
"No, no news" Alaric lied, Lily licked her lips and tucked in a loose curl behind her ear.
"It's right this way-"Vanessa unlocked the door to a musty and dust covered office. They filed in, Lily strode in and looked around, and the room was lined with old looking books.
"It's a bit dark" Lily commented walking over to a shelf.
"I'll grab a light feel free to look around" Vanessa said from the doorway.
The red head vampire picked up a trinket and was joined by Alaric, whilst Elena and Damon were on the other side of the room.
"So how are you dealing with this Alaric?" Lily asked softly picking up another trinket, she ran a thumb across the wooden figurine, as the hunter's eyes browed the spines of the books.
"You know is it weird that I'm not really bothered about being here?" Alaric asked "I mean I know this is Isobel's place but…I don't feel-"
"Melancholy, depressed…feels like your heart is being ripped out?" Lily quipped, a smile played on her lips.
"Well I don't feel any of those" he grinned.
"You know what that means right?" Lily asked him, he shook his head "It's time for you to sort things with Jenna. You like her and vice versa-don't know-"
"Where did she go?" Damon called out referring to the fact that Vanessa disappeared. Elena spun around and gasped as the research assistant returned but with a crossbow, she pulled the trigger but before the arrow could be embedded into the doppelganger's heart Damon appeared taking the arrow for her. This all happened so quickly, Lily saw that Vanessa was about to flee, she blurred towards the other woman and pinned her to the wall by her throat.
Lily bared her fangs causing the brunette to gasp in fright "Now that was not so nice" she snarled. "Elena deal with Damon, pull the arrow back." She retracted her fangs "We need to talk" she was looking at Vanessa.
Lilly shoved the woman into an armchair, and she rolled her eyes hearing Damon and Elena conversing.
"Please" Vanessa begged "I freaked-"Lily remained standing in front of the research assistant, crossing her arms in front of her chest, whilst Alaric sat down on the edge of the desk.
"Why would you freak?" Lily questioned.
"It is not possible Katherine Pierce can't be alive, Damon Salvatore died in 1864…and you-"she looked at Lily "you should be dead. You were murdered…unless you're all-"
"What?" Lily asked her quietly, she didn't really blame the woman for freaking out.
"This can't be possible, I ready Isobel's research-"
"Then you should know how possible this is" Alaric cut in, keeping his eyes on the woman. Just then Elena and Damon re-entered the room, Vanessa tensed up seeing the brunette teenager approaching her.
"I'm Elena Gilbert, Isobel's daughter and the descendent of Katherine Pierce. This is Damon Salvatore who you just shot-"
"I'll be extra nice to me if I were you" Damon said cockily.
"Shut up Damon" Lily exclaimed "I'm Lillian Peterson-"she added. Vanessa frowned knowing that wasn't the read head's name? According to the portraits that she found her name was something entirely different.
"Look we need your help" Elena said earnestly "we need to see all of Isobel's research anything relating to Mystic Falls."
"Now would you be so kind to help us?" Lily asked her kindly.
"Hey" Lily was leaning against the window, as Vanessa and the others were rummaging through the boxes; the red head was currently talking to Stefan. "I'm calling to check in, how's Caroline doing?"
"Good" Stefan replied on the other end "I managed to convince Bonnie to make her a daylight ring."
"Good" she sighed in relief that was one thing off of her mind. "I'll speak to you later." She hanged up seeing Vanessa carrying a cardboard box over to the table and settling it down. "This box tracks Katherine's arrival to Mystic Falls in 1864."
"Is that all there is?" Elena asked looking at the meagre folders in the box. Lily leant against the table and plucked up a file and flicked through it.
"Yes that's all there is" Vanessa nodded, Lily set the files back down as Elena plucked up some vervaine
"Here take this" she handed over to her, Elena nodded towards Damon she wouldn't put it past that vampire to do something to the poor woman.
"Does vervaine really work?" Vanessa asked the female vampire.
"Nope, not at all" Damon called from the other room obviously hearing the conversation.
"Yes it does" Lily said "ignore him. vampires have enhanced hearing and speed" she informed the human. She could see that Vanessa was drinking up all the information.
"Can you guys read minds too?" Vanessa tucked the vervaine into her front pocket.
"No if you wanna see me naked all you have to do is ask" Damon smirked; Lily picked up a sharp knife and threw it, hitting the younger vampire in the shoulder.
"Behave" Lily scolded, Alaric chuckled he was glad someone was around to put the rave head vampire in his place. "We don't read minds, but Damon does have a special talent" Lily uttered as she flicked through another book.
"He can be a first rate jackass" Elena finished off, causing Alaric and the red head vampire to laugh.
Lily yawned and was now sitting down besides Alaric as they thumbed through books. The pair of teachers were looking for anything that would tell them what the Lockwoods are. Whilst Elena was still looking for information on Katherine.
"You know Alaric-"
"Ric-"
"Fine Ric, Alaric is a good name why would you want to shorten it I don't know" Lily said to herself causing the history teacher to grin. "Anyway, you can some of this information for your classes, makes it more interesting-"
"Who says my classes are boring?" Alaric frowned.
Lily snorted "All the children dear" she chuckled, her eyes dropped down to the book on the table in front of her. "I think I've got something" she called out attracting Vanessa's, Damon's and Elena's attention. "Here" she handed the book over to the research assistant.
"There's no record of werewolf mythology in Mystic Falls but here are some records of the lesser known legends, everything from Scandinavian skin-walkers to Aztec legends." She hands over a book filled with sketches. "It translates to the curse of the sun and the moon-"she gestured towards the script on the page.
Lily frowned "Native American?"
Vanessa nodded and cleared her throat "Aztec. It explains one origin of the werewolf curse traced through Virginia. The short story: 600 years ago, the Aztecs were plagued by werewolves and vampires. They terrorized the countryside, made farming and hunting impossible until an Aztec shaman cursed them, making vampires slaves to the sun and werewolves servants of the moon. As a result, vampires could only prowl at night and werewolves could only turn on a full moon. When the full moon crests in the sky, who's ever unlucky enough to fall under the werewolf curse turns into a wolf."
Lily licked her lips, now this she could believe. She knew vampires couldn't be the only creatures in the world there were more supernaturals in the world "Can they control the transformation?" Damon asked.
"No" Lily replied instead of the research assistant. "If they could why would they call it a curse?" she asked. "What else do you know about them?" she asked.
"Werewolves will attack humans but instinct and centuries of rivalry have hardwire them to hunt their prey of choice: vampires." Vanessa informed them.
Lily blinked "Of course there would be a rivalry there" she murmured to herself, idly playing with her daylight ring. Elena and Alaric exchanged worried looks; this could prove to be a problem with the resident vampires.
Damon however didn't buy this at all, "Well if werewolves are hunting vampires I would know about it." He said arrogantly, gosh Lily thought wondering were young vampires always so arrogant?
"Not that if there are many werewolves left alive. Hundreds of years ago vampires hunted them almost to extinction."
"Why would they do that?" Elena asked, Lily bit her bottom lip, there could be only one reason and the red head didn't like what she was thinking.
"To protect themselves" Vanessa answered "legend has it that a werewolf bite is fatal to vampires."
Lily cleared her throat "Well that is a problem" she murmured. "We have a werewolf right on our doorstep."
"Got that right" Damon muttered with a frown on his face.
Lily paced up and down, she was waiting for Elena to return, the doppelganger was calling Stefan since tonight was the full moon.
"Stop pacing" Damon called
"Yeah I'll do that when you're not an arse" Lily sniped,
"Ha" Alaric chuckled "Then that'll never happen" Damon threw him a dirty look and carried on skimming through the thick book he was holding.
Just then Elena came back into the room "I called, he said he'll be fine and that Caroline is with him." she told her English teacher.
Lily let out relieved sigh and nodded she took a sip of the tea that Vanessa managed to get for her. Elena flicked through the box of papers and picked up a small portrait. The red head leant over so she could see it as well; it was an old photograph of Katherine.
"Have you done any research on doppelgangers?" Elena asked curiously, Alaric looked up from the pile of papers also wanting to know the answers for that question.
"Well" Vanessa explained "the word means a lot of different things to different cultures. But typically a doppelganger is a living, breathing double of oneself."
Lily placed the empty mug down on the table "Did Isobel do any research into explaining the link between Elena and Katherine?" she asked.
Vanessa shook her head "That's all she had on Katherine, unfortunately, but I can tell you that doppelgangers usually torment the people they look like, trying to undue their lives. It's not exactly uplifting."
"That's the truth" Lily muttered and picked up another worn book,
"Great so more things that we already know!" Elena exclaimed "I just want to know why we look alike. But there's hardly anything about Katherine Pierce-"
"Maybe because that's not the name she use to go by?" Damon drawled, a knowing smile appeared on his face. Lily could see that he was holding out on them,
"You know something-"
"That I do-"
"Spill Damon." The older vampire demanded
"Make me-"he dared her.
"Very well-"Lily grinned and blurred towards him, and pinned him against the wall "I can drive this very candleholder into your gut-"
Vanessa gasped "What? How-"
"Lily is older" Elena told her. The human nodded and swallowed.
"Alright, alright-"Damon grunted, she immediately let go of him. "Gosh…you're still sexy to me"
Lily looked at him incredulously and scoffed "Just say what you know."
Damon massaged his bruised throat and sighed "Fine…Katherine was originally from Europe, her name was Katerina Petrova" he revealed.
Lily's eyes widened "Petrova?" she breathed, Elena looked at her in concern she never thought that she would witness a vampire turning pale.
"Lily?"
"Does the name ring a bell?" Damon asked his brows furrowing at the perky red head.
Lily ignored them and looked at Vanessa "Any information on Katerina Petrova?" the human hastily nodded and hurriedly got onto her feet, she went to one of the shelves near the back of the room, and returned with an old worn looking book.
"There's everything about a Katerina Petrova in there, as well as the Petrova line" Vanessa explained handing the heavy book over to the vampire. Alaric, Elena and Damon all crowded Lily as she opened the book. A few pages in she came across the ancestral line. Her fingers trailed up over Katerina's name and travelled down to the next name.
"Annabelle Petrova?" Elena read over her shoulder.
"Who is that?" Damon frowned
"The child that Katerina gave away" Lily explained recalling the journal she had read years and years ago.
"Katherine had a baby?" Alaric asked eyes widened.
"Yes…Annabelle gave birth to Peta, he took the Petrova name…and he had a daughter named Beatrice…she was my mother." Lily explained. Causing them all to look at her in disbelief "My actual name is Lillian Petrova, I go by Peterson now got to keep up with appearances." She didn't add that she felt like she had to change it either.
Damon growled "Why didn't you ever mention you're related to Katherine-"
"I didn't know she was a Petrova. I hadn't gone by that name in years" Lily snarled, "You're a Petrova Elena…Clara my youngest sister had a whole hoard of children, you come from them." She told her "There's your link. Have this-"she tossed the old book towards the doppelganger whose face mimicked that of a fish.
"We're related?" Elena asked she couldn't help but be excited about that. She was horrified knowing that Katherine was one of her ancestors, since they looked alike, but learning Lily was another ancestor of hers that brightened her dreadful day.
"Seems that way" Lily murmured forcing a smile on to her face, she didn't want to think about her life as a human…since she missed her old life so much.
"So all Petrova women are rather good looking-"Damon drawled.
Even Alaric flinched seeing the glares from both Petrova females "Yeah I'll think you should be shutting up now" the history muttered towards the male vampire.
"So Elena is your descendant?" Damon asked.
"Yes" Lily murmured "now that's an eye opener, my great grandmother is a raving bitch." She huffed and strolled out of the room.
"Eww" Damon grumbled
"What?" Alaric asked
"I just realised I slept with a grandmother" the raven head vampire muttered, Lily obviously heard since they heard the red head laughing from the other room.
"We're here" Alaric announced, waking the red head vampire up. She sighed and clicked her neck, they all clamoured out of the car, Elena was taking her time so the female vampire thought it be best to talk to her colleague now. "Alaric-Ric-"she rolled her eyes seeing his face when she used his full name.
"Yes-"he didn't get the chance to finish off his sentence, since Lily grabbed his arm and hastily pulled him along to the Gilbert front porch. "Lily what the hell?" he said wincing at her bruising grip.
"Oops" Lily immediately loosened her grip "Sorry. Anyway you are going to sort things out with Jenna." She instructed.
"What? Lily I think that ship sailed a long time ago-"Alaric shook his head about to go back to his car but the vampire grabbed his hand easily pulling him back.
"Ric" Lily said gently "no ship has sailed. You went to your ex-wife's office and was there anything in here-"she lightly patted the spot in his chest where his heart resided "that longed for Isobel? No. there is nothing holding you back Ric."
"Lily there's a risk-"Alaric started but she gently cupped his face.
"What's life without a little risk? I've been around for a long time Ric, and you and Jenna? You two work. Life is too short to be living in a world of ifs. Go to her. Be with her otherwise you'll regret it." Lily murmured, her emerald green orbs flashed with emotion that broke Alaric's resolve.
"You're right-"
"Always am dear." She grinned.
Alaric chuckled and placed a wet kiss on her cheek, causing the vampire to scrunch up her nose in distaste. This made the hunter beam "Thank you."
"Just use protection-"she winked and laughed seeing his cheeks turning red. Before he could scold her Lily was gone. He looked over to her bungalow and just managed to catch sight of her front door slamming shut.
Lily eyed the blond vampire across from her, she was now in a pair of soft cotton pants and a cream coloured camisole. She had used her enhanced speed to change and then exit her room. So she was done within under a minute, since the blond baby vampire had said she needed to talk to her urgently.
"You sure about this?" she asked Caroline.
"I am. I can do this. Please Lily, I want to go home-"her eyes widened realising that could be taken the wrong way. "I mean I like it here…but-you've been so nice and-I am messing this up" she whined. Lily knelt down in front of the new vampire who was sitting on the squashy couch. "It's just not home?" she ventured.
Caroline nodded "Yeah-"
"Ok then." Lily smiled "Off you go, just remember you are welcome here anytime" she led the way to her front door and opened it for Caroline. "Ok? And-"she was cut off when the taller girl hugged her tightly.
"Thank you" Caroline whispered and they parted ways. Lily leant against her doorframe and saw Damon and Elena were now on the Gilbert porch, she used her heightened hearing and managed to catch the last part of Elena's sentence.
"Yes you have lost me forever" the doppelganger exclaimed, Lily folded her arms across her chest.
"But you knew that earlier didn't you?" Damon uttered "You used me today."
"You had information about Katherine that I needed to know" Elena countered.
"I thought friends' weren't meant to manipulate friends?" Damon frowned. Lily lips her lips and tucked in a loose curl behind ear, a cool breeze brushed over her. "You and Katherine got a lot more in common than just your looks." He sneered and strolled off.
"God forbid that ever becoming true" Lily said to herself, she whistled attracting Damon's attention.
"Lily, you was listening wasn't you?" the raven head vampire asked. "Eavesdropping is such a family thing for you Petrova people."
"I guess so Salvatore." Lily smiled "Fancy a stiff drink?"
"Would I ever" Damon smiled; he needed this she shut the front door behind him.
Lily swallowed it didn't help, her mouth still watered. Why on earth were there so many people here? But then again Elijah said they needed to attend since it would make blend in with the locals, and not arouse suspicion.
"Lily-"Rebekah waltzed over to her, giving the red head an appraising look. She was accompanied by a man; he was tall and somewhat similar to Elijah in the looks department. "This is my brother Kol" she introduced her.
"Ah you must be the ravishing scarlet haired woman my siblings have told me so much about" he smiled charmingly and took her smaller had in his, engulfing it entirely.
"You're quiet charming-"
"I have a way with women" he grinned "Elijah and Niklaus seem to be busy. We can get to know each other on a more personal level-"he said suggestively.
"Hmm…and rather arrogant, another vampire trade we all seem to share" Lily countered, Rebekah snickered and noticed Elijah and Niklaus shooting their younger brother dark looks.
"We are a sharing kind-"Kol smirked,
Lily merely shook her head, her throat felt dry; she inhaled the air and could smell an intoxicating scent. Her eyes landed on the small patch of red just underneath Kol's collar. "You still seem to be wearing your dinner." She murmured and felt her fangs beginning to rip through her gums, all the noise seem to drown around her and she could hear were rapid heartbeats. Lily felt as if the walls were closing in on her.
"You should clean up Kol, Elijah won't be please-"Rebekah snapped cutting Lily out of her hunger induced state.
"Very well. It has been a pleasure meeting you Lily." He winked at her and strolled off.
"That is just Kol he-are you ok?" Rebekah asked, concern laced within her words.
Lily exhaled "I need some air." Before the Original could question her the red head literally sprinted out into the gardens that were located at the back of the mansion.
Lily leant heavily against the fountain; she could hear the gushing waters. She dug her fingers into the stone causing that particular area to crumble. She was finding it hard to cope with just animal blood…especially when she was surrounded by so many delicious tasty morsels. She swiped her hand across the fountain water in disgust, seeing that her eyes were red and the veins surrounding them blackened.
"Lillian" a familiar voice called her gently; she looked over her shoulder and saw Niklaus standing there. "You are hungry-"
"No" Lily snapped "I can control this" she tried to retract her fangs but couldn't
"You are. Lillian you are struggling to cope with your bloodlust" Niklaus strolled over to her. "You must feed. And not with animal blood, you need to spill human blood, if you wish to get some semblance of sanity."
Lily violently shook her head; it was bad enough being a creature of night. She didn't want to hurt anyone.
"I cannot-I won't have it-"
"You fear yourself-"the blond haired Original "You fear what you are. If you go on the way you are going to drive yourself mad."
Lily growled and pushed him away "I do not wish to feed from humans. I can drink animal-"
"And what?" Niklaus snarled "run out every time you are surrounded by humans. You'll end up dead, and I am not having that. You have to have a taste of human blood."
Lily watched on in confusion and swallowed when Niklaus reappeared but this time he brought a male servant with him.
"Niklaus what are you doing?" she asked her voice shook seeing his fangs coming down.
"Helping you get over your fear of human blood" he replied simply. Lily gasped when he sunk his fangs into the man's neck. Niklaus had made sure to compel the servant before he carried this out.
"Stop it-"Lily breathed taking a step back, and swallowed when Niklaus angeled the man's head in a way so she could see the gash clearly.
"Drink it-"he urged her.
Lily shook her head "I cannot please-"
"Lillian I am trying to help you. You need to learn how to control yourself, and the first is to actually taste the blood of a human," Niklaus said firmly, when she still stood rooted to her spot, he used a different tactic. He lathered his index finger against the man's blood and licked his finger clean. "It tastes fantastic love."
Lily felt the hunger rise within her. If Niklaus can have a bite why couldn't she? He watched as her eyes bled red and her fangs descending. "That's it sweetheart come this way-"he coaxed the vampire. She slowly approached the man and Niklaus. "Inhale" he instructed. She did just that and her mouth watered.
"Ok, take a sip-"
"But how do I know when it's enough I do not wish to kill him" Lily murmured her eyes were fixated on the mark that Niklaus had made.
"Hear his heart and sync it with your own…go on love" Lily licked her lips, and leant up pressing them against the wound. She swallowed and let out a moan when she felt the delicious and tasty liquid sliding down her throat. Lily's hand clutched the back of his head and took another mouthful. She was oblivious to the servant's heart rate slowing down.
"Lillian enough-"Niklaus stated but she was oblivious and took in even more blood. "LILLIAN" he roared and just then there was a loud snap. She was pushed back violently and fell onto the ground.
Lily let out a growl, but her eyes landed on the servant. She gasped seeing his head at an odd angle.
"Lillian clean up I will deal with this" he assured her. But she shook her head and rushed over to the man. Her eyes filled with tears, seeing that the man's eyes were open but unseeing. He was dead.
"I killed him-"a sob tore from her throat "I-I-"
"What's going on?" a familiar voice rang out through the empty gardens. Lily looked over her shoulder and saw that it was Elijah. His eyes widened seeing the state of the petite woman's face. It was smeared in blood. "Lily-"
She stood up "I didn't mean to…I swear I didn't-"
"It is ok-"Elijah told the hysterical female. The red head violently shook her head "Lily-"he stopped talking, both the Original's heightened hearing picked up the sound of footsteps, people were beginning to leave the mansion they needed to get rid of the body now. "Lily-"
"She's gone." Niklaus said.
Lily stood on the edge of the bridge, it was nearing dawn and she looked down at the rushing water. She fiddled with her daylight ring. Her eyes caught sight of her blood stained hands.
She killed one person already…and that was just her first taste of human blood. How many other innocents would she ending up killing because she couldn't control herself? Lily looked down at her ring, she gripped it and could see the sun peeking out from behind the trees.
"Do not dare to take it off." An arm wrapped around her waist and she was hauled off of the bridge. She fell into Nicklaus's arms
"I killed someone, I-"tears welled up in her eyes "I'm a monster-"
"No you are not. You are a vampire. One slip up Lillian I promise you it will get better" Niklaus assured her, wrapping his arms around her. "You just need help." He whispered into her ear "ending your life isn't the answer."
He pulled back and cupped her face, and used the pads of his thumbs to wipe the tears off of her face.
Lily sniffed and nodded "You are a good man Niklaus…"he smiled at her; he hadn't been called that in decades.
"Lillian-"
"Elijah is going to hate me" Lily said and once again tears began to well up, since she was such a young vampire she still had little control over her emotions "he-I-"
"Lily I could never hate you" a familiar voice called on the other end of the bridge in a blur he was next to her. "Never." He repeated. Lily smiled and hugged him pressing her face into his chest.
"I should leave you two; Kol and Rebekah are let loose in the manor. Not such a good thing" Niklaus cleared his throat, as he walked pass Lily and his brother she grabbed his arm.
"Thank you Niklaus" she smiled at him, she was still in Elijah's arms.
"No need to thank me sweetheart" Niklaus smiled and walked off neither Elijah nor Lily noticed the longing look in his eyes.
Lily sighed and looked up at Elijah; he gently brushed aside her red curls. "That ma-"she started.
"It's taken care of" he assured her, and pressed a kiss to her lips, it was soft and tender. "Do not ever think that I would hate you." He pressed his temple against hers. "You are covered in blood Lillian."
"I believe we should remedy that" Lily said coyly, fiddling with the top button of his shirt.
"Hmm" Elijah smirked and nipped her earlobe causing tingles to erupt in the pit of her stomach. "I believe there's a small creek around."
"Well-"before she could even finish her sentence he picked up bridal style "you are impatient-"
"When it comes to you I am." He playfully growled and blurred off. Lily's laughter rang throughout the silent road.
Niklaus stood a little further down away from the bridge, a small smile played on his lips hearing Lilly's laughter but it faltered slightly knowing that the reason of her laughter was because of Elijah.
"Ah brother fancy going on a hunt?" Kol appeared next to him, "I saw some tavern wenches that no one would miss"
Niklaus turned to his brother "Why not? I'll race you" with that he zoomed off with Kol on his heels.
