Lily rolled her eyes seeing Belinda chatting to one of the new Lords who had arrived in town, she believed him to be one of Elijah's brothers…Kol that's what his name was. The sun had set and the night had set in its place.

Lily played with the band of her daylight ring, and sighed, she was right about what she assumed from the beginning, the new family hosted a ball for the locals. And like the good friend Belinda was she dragged the very reluctant red head with her. But once the witch had threatened her, she was very agreeable, Lily was sipping away some wine, and she'd prefer something more metallic and tasty.

The ball room was filled with humans, and she could hear their heart pumping the blood around their bodies. Lily felt the familiar ache in her gums and swallowed, no she can control herself now.

"Are you not enjoying yourself?" a deep voice questioned, startling Lily out of her thoughts.

"Oh…"Lily smiled at Elijah, "Yes…very much so." She nodded,

The dark haired handsome man chuckled "You are a terrible liar."

Lily's jaw dropped "Well good sir…you are right." She said grudgingly, causing him to smile, making her think he looks so much more handsome when he did that if that was possible. The red head then proceeded to slap herself. She didn't need these thoughts, soon enough she and Belinda will be leaving this little town.

"How about a dance?" he offered her his hand,

Lily smiled "I'm afraid that I am not much of a dancer." She murmured, and was surprised when his hand encompassed hers,

"I refuse to take no for an answer, the century's old waltz is playing. It's one of my favourites, shame to miss out dancing it with a stunning partner." Elijah uttered, she was distracted by sensation of his thumb rubbing against the backs of her knuckles. "So?"

How could she say no to those deep oak coloured eyes, "Ok." She nodded and allowed him to pull her onto the dance floor. The music began, and Lily felt her skin tingling as his hand came to rest on her hips; she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"So have you been to a lot of balls?" his warm breath fanned across her neck, Lily peered up at him.

"I used to, but now not so much. Belinda takes me."

His eyes darted over to the witch, he knew what she was and vice versa. "A friend-"

"Very close friend." Lily uttered and winced when she stepped on his foot. "Sorry-"she hastily apologised, "This is why I shouldn't dance."

Elijah shook his head and pulled her closer, "Nonsense it is all in the leading." He spun her around,

Lily laughed "I believe I heard that somewhere before…"she murmured, she was oblivious to the brief flash of emotion across his face, if he was right that's what Klaus had told her all those years ago.

"Well it's been lovely dancing with you." he pressed a kiss onto her cheek, and spun her around, as they were swapping partners.

Lily stumbled slightly but someone caught her, "Ah Lady Lillian."

"Herald?" she smiled at the gardener, even he was invited.

"No need to sound too surprised." He chuckled, causing her to smile, "but this dancing is getting me tired…it feels like as is my heart is going to burst." The blond haired man muttered. Lily shook her head, the gardener was nice enough, she knew that Belinda took a special liking to him, "So is Belinda around?" he asked, as they twirled.

Lily grinned "Over your shoulder." She uttered, he turned his head just as a breeze blew over them. Lily inhaled his scent, oh god, her mouth-watered, she just wanted a bite. The vampire could feel her fangs coming through.

"Lil-"

She pushed herself away, and weaved through the doors, covered her mouth, she shouldered passed a servant forcing him to drop the tray of wine.

She exited the Mansion and arrived at the back gardens, and groaned as her fangs ripped through her gums, she took in a deep breath and sighed. Now this was much better she was away from the stuffy room that was full of humans.

Lily opened her eyes and the blackened veins disappeared. A smile stretched across her lips as she realised that she was much better now at controlling herself. Lily took in the sight of the garden, and was in awe at the sight, there were willow trees, lush green grass and she could hear the sound of running water. There must be a creek nearby.

"So got tired of dancing?" A voice whispered into her ear. Lily jumped and spun around, the skirts of her gown swished around her ankles as she did so.

"Elijah?" she smiled and swallowed, "You have a beautiful home and garden…"she murmured tucking in stray curl.

He nodded and stepped up beside her, and stood tall. "Did it get too much?"

"Oh the dancing no it-"

"I mean the bloodlust?" he cut her off.

Lily swallowed and licked her lips, "I don't know-"

"I am not a fool Lillian. I know what you are." He said calmly, Lily took a step away. Elijah turned to face her, "You're a vampire." He uttered.

Lily blinked, he knew? That meant surely she couldn't stay in this town…not now, it was a pity actually, she was beginning to feel like she could have a home here for a couple of years. "Goodbye Elijah…"she blurred off, but before could get into her pace an iron grip was around her waist. Lily gasped when she found herself pinned to the wall and snarled.

"What-you…you're a vampire." Lily breathed staring up at him, he was pressed close to her she raised her fingers and gently grazed them over the veins that were plastered on his face.

"Just as you." Elijah stated "there's nothing to fear." He promised, "Now come I believe we shall return to the ball…perhaps I will be able to help you state your craving." He held out his hand. Lily smiled and nodded taking his hand.

Lily's brows furrowed, when she felt someone prodding her shoulder. She grumbled under her breath and turned over. There was a loud sigh and another prod.

She huffed and reluctantly opened her eyes, and screeched when she was met with a pair of bright blue eyes.

"Lils." Damon smirked and wasn't too surprised when she violently shoved him off of her bed. "Ok..oww-"

Lily swore "What the hell is it with everyone breaking into my house-"

"Says the vampire who has super hearing." Damon snorted but quietened down seeing the glare she threw his way.

"So-"

"Wait have people been breaking into your house?" Stefan popped his head into the room. Lily groaned and flopped down onto her bed before scrunching her nose up when the raven head vampire joined her.

"Ah come on…that's it I want my keys back." She declared and swung her legs out of her bed, "So what do you want?" she asked.

"Well…"Damon said casually placing his hands behind his head. "We're going to see you grand-mummy, so you're coming." She narrowed her eyes; Lily wasn't one to be taking orders lightly.

"What he means…"Stefan said he was still leaning against the doorframe. "Will you be able to come with us to talk to Katherine…she seems chattier with you."

Lily scoffed, "We snipe at each other." She informed the brothers; she rummaged through her closet and opted to wear a skirt today as well as a blouse. "Plus I have work-"

"You've got marking to do throughout the morning…and only lesson in the afternoon." Damon drawled Lily and Stefan both gave him an incredulous look.

"You weirdo." The red head muttered.

Damon huffed "I don't stalk you…"

"You sound like you do." She muttered as she turned back to her closet, and yelped when he threw a pillow at the back of her head. "Damon-"she scowled.

"Look we're going to see if Katherine will give us the moonstone. So…"

"If I say yes." She stood up, having found a pair of heels; "Would you stop breaking into my house?" she asked looking at the pair.

Damon made a face; the vampire was still lounging on her bed. "Hmm I wouldn't bank on it." she rolled her eyes.

"I should so sign the deeds over to a human." she grumbled. "Fine I'll come to see granny shall I?"

"Thank you." Stefan said sincerely "and this is for you." he handed her a steaming mug of tea, causing the red head to soften somewhat.

"You're the good one Stefan-"she ignored the 'hey' from the older Salvatore, "let me get ready, just make sure he doesn't-"she jerked her thumb in Damon's direction "go through my panties drawer." She added and headed into the bathroom.

"For a vampire nearly hitting the four hundred mark, you sure are a germ-aphobe." Damon commented, he, Stefan and Lily were clamouring down the steps, the youngest Salvatore was leading them into the church ruins.

"Says the vampire who has a thing about stained carpets." Lily said as they entered the dark cavern, before she and Stefan left the day before, they had pushed the stone door against the entrance of the tomb, not wanting some poor unfortunate person to accidentally enter it. They came to a stop outside the doorway.

"Go on then." Damon gestured for Lily to go forward.

She scoffed "No, I'm not lifting-"

"You're the oldest-"he said dryly, Stefan pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, those two hadn't exactly been easy to travel with. The constant bickering was grazing his nerves, but he knew that's just how they were.

"I am not lifting, I like this top and that-"Lily pointed towards the stone door "Is covered in grime." She added.

"Ok, let's just do it Damon." Stefan stepped in playing peacekeeper, Damon rolled his eyes and nodded, she watched as Stefan and Damon together moved the stone slab out of the way. Lily tightened her jacket around her torso.

It slammed against the wall where they set it. "Thanks for helping Lily." Damon said sarcastically. Lily smiled showing her teeth.

"You're welcome honey." She countered and the three peered into the tomb, making sure not to step over the boundary line.

There was zero movement, Lily folded her arms across her chest, "She's been dramatic …Katerina." She yelled into the tomb, Damon and Stefan exchanged amused looks, it wasn't everyday they witness someone having the edge over the manipulative brunette Petrova.

They all froze when a shadow moved within the tomb, "Please come in," Katherine's voice low and croaky "there's plenty of room for all of us, oh Lillian you can join us…"

Lily gagged an cringed "Ewww…you're my great grandmother" she shuddered,

Damon sniggered "And I'd rather poke my eyes out." He chipped in, Lily watched as Katherine emerged into the light, the brief sips of blood did wonders for her, she mused.

"Hmm…such pretty eyes." Katherine cooed,

Lily sighed "Hmm…such useless facts…"she commented, Damon grinned "What?"

"You think I got pretty eyes." The raven head vampire nudged her in the side, Lily snorted

"That's what you got?" she asked.

"Yeah…I got a pretty di-"he hissed when she pinched his arm.

Katherine groaned "Did you just come here to banter in front of me? I rather go back into the shadows."

Lily hummed and Stefan cleared his throat, "No we've come for the moonstone." He stated,

The red head licked her lips, "So are you in a giving mood Katerina?" she questioned, Katherine smirked, causing the younger Petrova to know what she wouldn't be in a giving mood.

"Tell you what…"Katherine uttered as she stumbled over to them, "You get your little witch to hocus pocus me out of here and you get whatever you want,"

Lily leant against the frame, "That is certainly a change of tune from last night." She murmured, Damon glanced over to his brother in confusion, since he also believed that Katherine wanted to stay in the tomb.

"I thought you wanted to be in here." Stefan stated "Nice and safe where Klaus can't get to you."

Lily watched her ancestor and sighed "You want out because you're hungry right?" she questioned, the little sips of blood from the day before clearly wasn't enough.

"I'm starving Lillian-"she said as she shuffled forward, "And dirty, but above all I'm bored. At least running from Klaus wasn't boring." She stumbled to the side and came to a stop in front of her great granddaughter.

"So here's the deal, you get me out of here I'll give you the moonstone and I'll get out of Mystic Falls." Her deep brown orbs met Lily's emerald ones, it was unnerving for Katherine to be staring into her eyes, they were so much like her mother's, and she forced herself to look away.

Lily canted her head to the side, "And what's stopping you from going back on your word?" she questioned,

Katherine smirked "Well I guess you're just going to have to trust me" she shrugged her bony shoulders, Lily clicked her tongue.

"There's lies the problem Katerina, you're not a trustworthy person." The red head stated both Damon and Stefan nodded agreeing wholeheartedly with that statement.

"Well it's on you; let me know what you decide." She slunk back in to the shadows.

Lily sighed; she knew prying the bloody stone from her wasn't going to be an easy task. She didn't know for sure that Bonnie would be able to find a way for this.

Lily was once again at home; she had an afternoon lesson and figured that she would be able to finish the rest of the marking for her classes. She took a sip of her mugful of blood, and sighed feeling the taste. She knew one thing for sure, Damon was right blood from the vein was so much better. But for her it was less practical, Lily downed the rest of the blood and snorted seeing some of the answers that the teens had given her.

"And….once again the prize goes to Tyler Lockwood for the most inappropriate answer, by reinstating that Romeo was a pansy…"Lily shook her head, her red locks were tied up in a high ponytail, a few curls escaped to frame her face. "Was sort of a pansy…."she muttered under her breath. Lily had managed to finish one pile, and opted to take a break since now would be the perfect time for her. She pushed herself away from her desk, and headed into the front room, where the television was. She moved over to her DVD collection and her eyes roamed the shelf, she frowned seeing something that didn't belong there,

"Supernatural?" Lily mumbled and pulled it out, this must be Caroline's she thought. "Oh he's a cutie." The red head figured she could give it a go.

Surely two hours later she was sprawled out on her sofa, eating a tub of ice cream, she was currently on the third episode of Supernatural, in fact Lily was so absorbed in the show, and she didn't hear the knock on the front door.

"Oh Sammy…don't worry Dean will save ya-"

"Lily-"the vampire shrieked when a hand made contact with her shoulder, she jumped up onto her feet and spun around, brandishing her spoon as she did so.

"Jesus-"Elena muttered "You-you're a vampire and you'll use a spoon as a weapon?" she asked, the red head blushed and grumbled under her breath.

"Shut up…what are you doing here?" Lily asked "you're meant to be at school…."she looked over to her mantelpiece to where the clock was located.

"Well…"Elena tucked her hair behind her ear "Stefan and Damon came over…they said you guys went to see Katherine."

Lily hummed and nodded, "Yeah and I believe they told you what they're planning?" she asked. The doppelganger nodded,

"I figured we could go and try to get more information about this whole moonstone deal." She added,

Lily scoffed "The truth please." She folded her arms across her chest, she had shed her heels earlier, so were standing a couple of inches below the doppelganger.

"Fine I wanted to go and find out more about Klaus." Elena announced, it wasn't the whole truth but she rather bring Lily with her since she trusted her.

Lily licked her lips "Why would you want to find out more about him? The guy is obviously a psychotic killer." She uttered "Who won't-"

"Lily please. We can figure out a way to stop him, without anyone else getting hurt. I…if he comes to town, there's nothing to stop him from killing Stefan, Damon everyone I care about." The brunette pleaded. "I just need some help please Lily.

Lily clenched her eyes shut and sighed, "You're going to go by yourself anyway aren't you?" she asked,

Elena nodded, causing the vampire to let out a heavy sigh, "Very well, I have to get Alaric to cover my class." She muttered, "hold on." she rushed around her home slipping on her shoes and grabbing her jacket, "Just to be clear we're just going to be finding out about Klaus nothing more." she said sternly, Elena hastily nodded, and knew when she actually get found out she'll be a whole load of trouble but this was important for her.

"Come on." Lily called her heading towards the front door; Elena did a quick sweep of the room,

"Hey Lily were you watching Supernatural?" she asked as the vampire locked up before they headed towards Lily's mini-cooper, the red head unlocked the vehicle and climbed in, the brunette settled in beside her.

"Yep…Dean is hot by the way." Lily declared,

Elena giggled "I'm more of a fan of Sam" she said buckling herself in,

Lily shook her head and pulled out of the driveway, "Nah…Dean always come to the rescue." She grinned.

Soon enough Lily parked at the Boarding house, she and Elena made their way up the driveway, the doppelganger was about to knock but the red head just waltzed in, the petite English teacher the only person who would know where they need to go to get some information would be Rose, since the older vampire would no doubt have contacts.

"Lily-"Elena stated.

The vampire rolled her eyes, "Please, this is nothing compared to what they do to me." She stated, and her heightened hearing picked up the sound of footsteps coming towards them,

"It's not nice to leave a girl naked, so early in the morning." Rose exclaimed in a scantily clad robe, Lily bit back a grin.

"My sentiments exactly," the red head smiled,

Rose chuckled "Sorry—"neither vampires missed the look of discomfort on the teenager, "I thought you were…"

"Damon?" she questioned and Rose nodded.

Elena swallowed, "Sorry I…we came to talk to you." she announced making sure to keep eye contact.

Lily nodded "Yep, so how about you get dressed before Elena collapses and meet us in the parlour." She grabbed the doppelganger's wrist and dragged her towards the parlour.

Sure enough a couple of minutes later Rose had returned fully dressed, Lily had left it to Elena to explain why they were here. The red head eyed Damon's alcohol collection and narrowed her eyes.

"Little thief" she muttered, Damon was the one to swipe her good Bourbon. She was forced back to reality hearing Rose's exclamation.

"It's a bad idea." Rose said vehemently, "and I can't believe you're going along with this." She added to the red head.

"What? It's not my fault." Lily muttered leaning against the table. She sighed, "Listen Rose, all we want to know is more information about Klaus, that's all." She said reasonably, "and you and I both know you have a friend with all the contacts." She added.

Elena sighed "From what Damon said you're friend Slater knows much more about Klaus, you and Damon just gave up before you found it." she sniped.

Rose looked at the human in disbelief, they hardly gave up. "Yeah because someone blew up the coffee shop we were in."

"There's more to learn" Elena argued "we just need to find another way."

Rose dropped down onto the couch, Lily paced up and down in front of the fireplace,"Why are you coming to me with this?" she asked.

Lily came to a stop "Because you're the only one who knows where this Slater is" she uttered.

Elena nodded "Plus you owe us…"she shifted slightly seeing the looks she was getting from both females. "One word from me and Stefan and Damon could have killed you for kidnapping me." She yelped when Lily threw pinecone at the back of her head.

"Not good at convincing people" Lily said,

Elena swallowed, Rose eyed her, "Or because you know Damon and Stefan wouldn't want you to be doing this, their moonstone escapade will give you a chance." Rose said.

Lily tugged the ends of her ponytail, "We're having a disagreement, their willing to risk everyone I care about just to keep me safe." Elena said,

"They're just trying to protect you-"Rose argued.

Lily cleared her throat "Rose, we just want to know what we're going up against. Nothing more." she said sincerely, "If you don't want to come along its fine, give me the address and I'll speak to Slater." She uttered.

Rose sighed, she actually sort of liked the red head Petrova, much different from her ancestor, unlike Katherine, and Lily seemed to have a heart. After all she was willing to go up against an Original to protect her descendent. The brunette vampire believed that Elena didn't know how lucky she was.

"What do you hope to achieve by doing this?" Rose asked.

It was Elena who replied "How would you like to be able to walk in the sun?" she countered, Lily shifted from one foot to the other, ok this definitely wasn't part of the plan.

"I've been a slave to the shadows for over five hundred years, what do you think?" Rose scoffed, she wouldn't admit it out loud, but she envied Lily, Damon and Stefan for all being able to walk in the sun.

"I think I've got a witch who is willing to help." Elena stated. "Only if you're willing to make a deal."

Rose stared at her and then looked over to Lily; she sighed and nodded, hoping she wouldn't regret this.

They had to take Rose's car, since it had tinted windows. Lily lounged in the front seat and Elena was sitting in the back. The older vampire was driving; the red head had managed to convince Alaric to take her class, after promising him she'll explain later,

"Were you and Trevor ever together?" she asked curiously,

"What'd you mean?" Rose asked turning the steering wheel,

Lily shifted in her seat and licked her lips, the weather was warm but not too sunny, "Well together, you know like lovers?" she uttered.

Rose broke out into a fit of laughter realising what she had just said. "Eww…no I and Trevor are…that's just gross." Lily smiled "What about you and Damon…he seems to be all over you…"

"Nah, just some harmless flirting." Lily shrugged "Plus in your words that'd be gross." She added, "I believe though that I'm not his type…"she trailed off, and discreetly nodded over to the doppelganger.

Rose smirked and nodded "So you see it to?" she didn't miss the way Damon cared for Elena.

Lily stretched her arms above her head "You would have to be blind to miss it." she uttered, Rose snorted.

She felt the car coming to a stop, and they entered an underground parking lot, after this she hoped that Elena would manage to convince Bonnie to make a daylight ring for Rose, of all the people she had come across in her time, she thought that Rose deserved one.

The car finally came to a stop, Lily unbuckled herself and they exited the car. Rose led them up a flight of stairs, with Elena bringing up the rear, the doppelganger was slightly breathless from the amount of stairs in this place, Lily and Rose didn't seem to have any problems.

"For someone as thin as you, you really are unfit." Lily said to her descendent in retaliation Elena shoved the red head. "So…does this Slater ever think…I dunno actually putting a lick of paint on to the walls…or his door?" Lily commented eyeing the chipped door, Rose shook her head and knocked on the door

"Slater!" Rose called "Slater! It's Rose open up." she pounded on the door; Lily frowned when she wasn't able to hear any movement. There was no answer "He's not home sorry-"

"No, we came all this way-"

"And we can't just leave after coming all this way." Lily finished off and stepped forward, and with a smile she grabbed the door handles and shoved them opened, snapping the chain on the other side.

"You are aware you're breaking in?" Rose said, as they stepped into the apartment.

"Not the first time…oh and Elena don't try this at home." The red head uttered, she looked around at the large place, damn she thought this was more than a decent size apartment, the ceilings were high, and the rooms were open and airy.

"Slater?!" Rose called; she came to an abrupt stop as she passed a room, where the door was wide open. "I don't think he's going to be much help." She stated.

Both Elena and Lily rushed forward, and the red head balked seeing the greyed corpse of the other vampire.

"No kidding." Lily muttered, well there goes their lead. Rose entered the room and dragged Slater's body out of the way. The doppelganger made her way towards the desk where piles and piles of papers were. Lily followed and glanced over to Rose, feeling sorry for the vampire.

"Whoever blew up the coffee shop probably found him and killed him for his information." Elena said routing through Slater's work.

"Yeah, probably to stop him helping people like us. He knew too much." Rose muttered.

Lily rubbed her temple, "Well there's no point of staying is there? We should just go." She uttered, her eyes were drawn to the various monitors on his desk.

Rose moved forward and threw the curtains apart, bathing the room in sunlight. "Whoa-"Elena exclaimed.

"Aren't you meant to be burning?" Lily questioned and moved towards the windows, she gazed down at the city; it was full of life,

"UV rays won't penetrate." Rose informed them, "I used to come here and just watch the day." She announced.

Lily pressed her lips, and surprised the vampire by taking her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "I'm sorry about Slater…and Trevor." She murmured.

Rose nodded and smiled sadly, "Me too." She looked over her shoulder as Elena set down the framed picture, the red head let go and moved around the desk. "Any luck?" she asked. Lily watched as Elena tried the computer.

"It's password protected." She replied.

"Elena you can't say we didn't try. Come on." Lily said deciding now would be a good time to go home, before Stefan and Damon figured out that neither of them were in Mystic Falls. Rose nodded in agreement.

"It's pointless." She added.

Before Elena could protest there was the sound of something hitting the floor, Lily's ears perked up hearing the sound of a beating heart. "Someone's here." Rose headed towards the door, the doppelganger went to follow after her, but her ancestor grabbed her wrist.

"Stay here." she ordered, Rose opened the door and was surprised at who was there.

"Alice?" she exclaimed, both Elena and Lily exchanged puzzled looks as a dark haired woman threw herself at Rose, forcing the vampire to hug her. The older vampire gave the red head an annoyed look, causing Lily to cock an eyebrow.

Lily swung her legs back and forth as she sat on a breakfast stool, "Thanks." She smiled as Elena slid over a mug of tea; the brunette was making Alice one. Rose returned after spending some time comforting the woman.

"So how'd it go?" the red head asked the other vampire. "Did you convince-"she hissed when the doppelganger elbowed her.

"She means, how is she?" Elena asked.

Lily rolled her eyes, and took a sip of her tea…she discreetly spat it back into the cup, dear god that was awful; clearly Elena didn't inherit any culinary skills.

"Well she found him a few minutes before we did." Rose took the vacant seat besides Lily, as Elena poured another cup. "But she's overreacting big time."

Lily's eyebrows flew up to her hairline. "Gosh Rose, a bit cold don't you think?" she asked, tapping her nails against the table top, she looked over her shoulder seeing the hunched over human.

"Her boyfriend just died, there's no such thing as overreacting." Elena frowned, looking at the brunette vampire. Also thinking that she was being cold.

"Those tears are for her, she didn't care about Slater." Rose revealed "She was only dating Slater long enough to see if he would turn her."

Lily blinked "Ok…well now she's being a cold bitch." She muttered jumping onto her feet; an idea was forming in her head about how to get something out of this meaningless trip.

"Wait were you implying that I was being a cold-"

"Yes." Lily smiled innocently, and grabbed the cup of tea and saucer, "Hopefully this won't be a wasted trip. Now shush." She turned on her heel and made her way into the main living area, Elena took the now empty seat and she and Rose both watched as Lily settled down beside the woman.

"Here." She said softly handing over the tea,

"Thank you." Alice said taking it, her eyes were drawn over her face, her brows furrowed thinking she'd seen the red head somewhere before. And come to think of it also the brunette teenager "You…look really familiar." She uttered "Did you know Slater?" she took a sip of the tea,

Lilly shook her head "Not personally no, but I knew he has information about vampire contacts, I was wondering if there was anything that would point Klaus out?" she asked, they just wanted information.

"Doubtful, Klaus doesn't want to be pointed out." Alice answered.

Lily hummed and leant forward. "Do you know Slater's computer password?" she questioned, and could make out Elena palming her face.

"I thought I had a problem with being discreet." Rose muttered hearing what was being said, she saw the filthy look Alice shot the red head.

Elena groaned "Yeah…no she gets worse." She muttered running her fingers through her hair.

"Are you kidding me?" the human spat "I just saw my boyfriend with a stake in his heart….who do you-"

"Cut the crap darling." Lily drawled, crossing one leg over the other. "We both know you were only with him in the first place because you wanted to be a vampire." She said. "I can make that happen." She uttered. Alice slowly looked up, and her eyes widened seeing Lily's face changing, she could make out the pointed fangs jutting out from beneath her full lips and the way her eyes reddened.

"You're a vampire." Alice breathed, that was what she really wanted, to become an immortal a creature of the night.

Lily rescinded her fangs and blinked bringing her face back to its natural state.

"Yes, and I can make you one if you help us." Lily stated. Both Elena and Rose shot her a 'what to hell look', which she chose to ignore.

Her plan worked since Alice was now sitting at Slater's computer, she had successfully unlocked it, the three supernaturals gathered around her.

"Well that's no good." Lily muttered seeing the box popping up on screen, she stood behind Alice, with Elena on her right and Rose on her left.

"Someone's been here; they completely wiped his hard-drive." Alice stated,

"Yeah probably by whoever killed him." Rose said, Elena let out a sigh of defeat and was about to walk away but Alice's next statement stopped her. The red head moved back, when the human turned towards another screen.

"Well you're lucky that Slater was more than paranoid." She muttered "everything is backed up on our remote server." Alice entered another password, "Kirsten Stewart, could he be more obvious?"

Lily scrunched up her nose hearing that name "Isn't she from that sparkly vampy film? So…far away from the truth." She remembered Caroline attempting to watch it whilst she was staying with her, but Lily had put her foot down saying no way in hell that film would be played in her home.

"Are you actually going to turn her?" Rose whispered to Lily.

The red head scoffed "I have had my fill of baby vampires. She won't even remember us being here." she uttered, causing Rose to smile.

"A devious side to you Lily really?" she uttered, as Elena moved forward so she could see the screen.

"A Petrova, did you expect anything less?" Lily countered and glanced down at her watch, "plus I want to get home before six." She added.

Rose shook her head, both vampires peered over Elena's shoulder so they could see the monitor, there was folders littered on the screen.

"These are all leads to vampires?" Elena asked. Lily was impressed, that man literally knew everyone…hell her name was even there.

"Hmm, Slater was obsessed almost as much as me…"Alice muttered,

"She's crazy…"Lily whispered to Rose who quickly clapped her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

"What about that one?" Rose called out seeing a familiar name "Cody Weber, they exchanged dozens of emails about Elijah" she said,

Alice nodded and grabbed the phone "I could call him." she offered.

Elena swallowed, well here comes the difficult bit. "Tell him that we're trying to send a message to Klaus-"Lily's stomach felt heavy "that the doppelganger is alive and she is ready to surrender." Elena said her voice was slightly shaky, she could already feel the waves of anger rolling off of her ancestor.

"What-I knew I recognise you-"

"Shut up." Lily barked and turned on the doppelganger

"Lily-"

"Lily? Is that short for Lillian…if she's the doppelganger you must be Lillian Petrova…wow-"

"Just get him the message." Elena stalked off towards the kitchen.

Lily's let out a low breath, trying to rein in her anger before she stormed off after the brunette, Rose trailed after her, and not wanting to get the way but thought it be best to intervene if necessary.

Lily stormed into the kitchen; Elena swallowed and turned to face her. "What the hell are you doing?" she hissed stepping up to the teenager.

"I'm getting Klaus's attention." Elena said determinedly.

Rose stood her mouth parted in shock "If Klaus finds you he will kill you." she stated. Elena looked away, but the red head was having none of it, and took hold of her chin. Lily's emerald orbs zeroed in on her. A chuckle erupted from her.

"Oh my god, how could I be so stupid" the red head berated herself "This is exactly what you wanted isn't it?" she took a step back.

"It's either me or my family." Elena stated.

"This whole mission was a suicidal one, so you could hand yourself over." Rose said softly,

Lily swallowed, the muscle in her jaw twitched "You selfish little girl." She spat at the doppelganger leaving her stunned.

"Lily-"

Just then Alice emerged through the doorway "Cody is on his way and he really wants to meet you." she grinned.

Lily could feel her head already throbbing. And Rose sighed in defeat; they were in a whole load of trouble now.

"Lily are you just going to ignore me?" Elena asked, the red head was currently leaning against the window, she knew Rose had gone off to call Damon to tell them what happened. "Look I'm sorry-"

"For what?" she snapped "Lying to my face" she blurred forward causing the teenager to jump, she knew however angry the vampire got she would never hurt her, that was just how Lily was. "You told me you just wanted information about Klaus-not this bull-crap tale of handing yourself over. You want me to hand over one of my only living descendants why-"

"You shouldn't question me." Elena sniped "You and everyone would everything to keep me alive, you shouldn't question why I'd do the same for you."

Lily growled and balled her fists up; she didn't appreciate being lied to, not like this. Elena cleared her throat "You of all people should know about handing yourself over for someone you love…"she said quietly.

The red head knew she was referring to Clara. "There's the difference between us Elena….I tried to fight…I didn't just give up the way you are doing. I tried so hard to stay alive…I was shot in the back" Elena swallowed this part of the tale she hadn't told her before. "I wanted to live my life, I wasn't weak enough to just give up." she said softly.

"Your martyr tendency will just bring misery to everyone else." Lily said…"You know Clara? She hated me because I died…and then when I did come back she couldn't look at me for a couple of months."

Elena looked away; did she make a mistake? She thought. But that soon left her mind when she saw a familiar reflection in the window behind Lily. She jumped out of her skin, causing the red head to peer over her shoulder, there was no one there.

Lily rubbed her head "So did you call Damon?" she asked, Rose nodded they were in the kitchen and the doppelganger just exited it. They both knew that Damon would have no qualms about dragging Elena out by her hair.

"Why would-"

"Because he'll bring his own car, I don't fancy spending any more time with her at the moment." Lily muttered, still angry and annoyed about being lied to.

Rose nodded, "And he is here." she said, the females could hear Elena's gasp.

"What are you doing here?" Damon asked,

"And that's our cue." Lily muttered getting onto her feet, along with Rose, she could see Damon glaring at Elena.

"What are you doing here?" Elena questioned.

Lily cleared her throat "Rose called him." she answered, Elena scowled at her.

"Why? You-Rose you said you understood-"

"She lied." Lily sniped "Not nice is it? You're lucky he came."

Alice marched up to the group, "Damon Salvatore, Lillian Petrova a doppelganger wow this-"Lily growled in annoyance and grabbed Alice's wrist, catching her eyes.

"You are going to remain silent." She compelled her, Alice did just that "You deal with her-"Lily nodded towards Elena, "I can barely look at her." She took the human by her hand and led her to one of the bedrooms; Rose opted to follow the pair not wanting to be caught in between Damon and Elena. "Sit down."

"Do you do a lot of compulsion?" Rose asked, as Alice sat down on the edge of the bed, Lily knelt down in front of her, she tuned out Damon's and Elena's arguments.

"Only when it's necessary." She murmured. "Now Alice…you're going to forget about this whole day, only that Slater is now gone," her pupils dilated, Rose sat back and watched. "You will live your life, a normal human life…and you'll somehow find joy in that. Now you are going to fall asleep." Lily compelled her; she saw Alice's eyes drooping before she collapsed on the bed.

Lily stood up, and Rose smiled "I would have just compelled her to forget." She said. The red head shrugged her shoulders,

"I like to go out in style. Plus she was becoming even more obsessed." Lily said as they left the room, and was greeted with a sulky doppelganger and a pissed off vampire.

"Alice's is out cold, we're going now." Lily announced as she moved forward. "She won't remember anything."

"Well you wouldn't have to compel her if you didn't go along-"

"I didn't know she was lying." Lily cut him off, her eyes darted over to the brunette "You're taking her home; I'll catch a ride with Rose." She uttered.

Elena sighed she didn't mean to hurt her like this; she only thought she was saving everyone else.

"Let's get out of here." Damon nodded, before anyone could move the doors slammed opened, three thuggish looking vampires entered.

"We're here for the doppelganger-"they formed a triangle, Lily stood shoulder to shoulder with Damon.

"Not here sorry-"the red head stated.

"Thank you for coming-"Elena uttered about to take a step forward but Damon grabbed her wrist in a bruising grip.

"I will break your arm." Damon threatened her; Lily's eyes remained on the other three vampires.

"Lil-"

"I would let him. Now shut up," she hissed at her. "Leave now." Lily said moving slightly forward, her tone was hard and left no room for argument. The leader of the little group, canted his head to the side.

"Lillian Petrova…you're wanted as well-"he drawled.

Lily swallowed she didn't know how old these vampires were, and mostly likely all three would be able to give them a good run for them money. "Come-!"the leader ordered "Fine-"he pulled out a gun, "Apologies Miss-"he aimed it at her head she remained where she was, the tense standoff was broken when there was a loud snap.

Lily's eyes widened seeing who was responsible for killing the man. It was Elijah, she felt something in her heart blooming at the sight of him, but she was also stunned to see him in the first place. She had killed him…but a tiny part of her was relieved to see him again.

Lily decided she had officially gone crazy. Elijah blurred in the room, and Rose blurred out.

The dark haired Original eyed the two vampires, his eyes lingered on the man holding the gun…he was still aiming it at the red head, for a brief second Elijah's eyes darkened in anger. But then his calm and cool façade returned.

"Lily killed you-"Damon said bluntly, causing the petite vampire to elbow him, now wasn't a really good time to bring that up. "You were dead." He said.

"For centuries now." Elijah said curtly, "who are you?" he asked the unnamed vampires.

Lily swallowed she didn't know whether he was an enemy or not, last they had crossed paths he had decapitated a vampire.

"Who are you?" the vampire asked back.

Elijah's lip curled slightly "I'm Elijah. And I'd appreciate it if you put the gun away," He tutted, Lily's eyes darted between the other two males, they clearly heard of him, since the leader of the former three hastily stowed it away. Lily could sense the fear rolling off the pair in waves.

"We were going to bring you to her, she's the doppelganger, and we also found Lillian Petrova for Klaus. He'll be happy to see them, her specifically" the man mumbled,

Lily bit down on her bottom lip, her eyes met Elijah's, and she saw something there. "Does anyone know you're here?" he asked.

"No."

She blinked seeing the brief hint of a smile on his face "Thank you, you've been very helpful." And without further ado, he plunged both of his hands into their chest cavity and ripped out there hearts, they immediately dropped to the floor. Elena gasped and stumbled back, Lily's breath hitched when the Original blurred towards her.

"See you soon-"he said so low that only she was able to hear. "Sweet Lillian." Elijah's lips found her temple; he kissed her and was gone.

"And then she blamed me for Stefan being in there in the first place." Damon vented, he, Lily were all sitting on her porch swing. Taking a sip of the bourbon that Lily had stolen back.

"So you guys had a sucky day?" Alaric asked, Lily scoffed and rested her head on his shoulder.

"No kidding, my descendent took me for a ride today…she lied very well you know, I reckon if she practices enough she'll be almost as good as Katherine." she muttered.

Damon groaned, and rested his feet on the porch railing "No kidding, now Stefan is stuck in the tomb with Katherine." he uttered taking the half-filled bottle from her, and took a couple of mouthfuls. "And I'm paired with a semi-competent witch-"he yelped when Lily elbowed him. Alaric snorted.

"Dude don't bitch about Bonnie. She's the only sensible one…Jeremy was an idiot too today." Lily hummed.

The trio looked up at the starry sky, all the lights in the Gilbert house was off telling them they had retired for the night. "We've been whining all night Alaric about our day. What happened in yours?" she asked.

Alaric took a sip of the bourbon and leant back "Well…one of the kids was being a dick…I had the urge to punch him-"Damon smiled in amusement, and Lily eyed him. The hunter rolled his eyes, "Don't worry I didn't."

"Run" Lily did just that, and used her enhanced speed to her advantage; she looked over her shoulder seeing if she could see him. The sun was high in the sky, the wind through her loose red curls, and she had hitched up her skirts slightly to aid her. She looked over her shoulder to see if he was close.

"Boo-"she shrieked and wasn't able to stop herself and ploughed straight into him, with a grunt he was off his feet, Lily felt strong arms wrap around her waist, as they both went rolling down the hill, instead of curses flying, there was laughter and giggles. Lily's cheeks were flushed pink as they finally came to a stop. Her chest heaved.

"Well that was different." Elijah chuckled, holding himself above her; the grass was soft and slightly damp since it had rained late last night. "I win. And you lose" He grinned, running the backs of his knuckle down her cheek.

Lily pouted playful and pushed away some of his deep brown hair "Not fair Elijah, you are much faster than me."

"Well my sweet Lillian-"a shiver ran down her spine when his lips brushed the column of her throat, she arched slightly pressing her breasts against his hard chest. "Life is not fair." He kissed her teasingly, and smirked seeing her flustered state.

"Hmm…well you can make it a tiny bit fairer." Lily's lips stretched into a smirk, she reached up, and pressed her lips against his. Elijah's chest rumbled when he felt her tongue swiping his bottom lip, she lightly pushed him back so she was straddling his waist. The red head broke the kiss, and smiled down at him. He placed his hands on her hips. "So we know you are good at running…"

"Try more than good." Elijah countered causing her to roll her eyes.

"Fine, but how are you at climbing-"he looked at her in confusion, Lily played with the collar of his shirt and leant forward, her lips brushed against the shell of his ear, she suppressed a smile feeling his fingers into her hips. "How about-"Elijah sighed completely content having the fiery red head in his arms; after all it's been far too long. She kissed the cleft on his chin and bumped her nose against his.

"I and you race towards the trees, and whoever-"he was barely listening since Lily was making certain parts of him ache. "Gets to the top wins." Lily smirked and was gone.

Elijah's eyes snapped opened and he growled playfully sprinting after her.

The red head was at the base of the large willow tree; she bent her knees and jumped clinging onto the trunk. She felt Elijah's fingers ghosting the back of her dress.

Lily emerged on the top branch and squealed when Elijah appeared in front of her; he grasped her hand to stop her from tumbling out of the tree.

"You cheated, not very fair-"

"Life isn't fair Elijah-"she quipped back, and grinned as he laughed. Lily shuffled forward and sat beside him, his arm wrapped loosely around her waist. "That's a good look for you" she said softly, he looked at her questioningly "When you smile. You don't do it enough."

Elijah cupped her chin "I haven't had a reason to…but I am beginning to." He was about to kiss her but a familiar voice stopped him. Lily followed his gaze and saw a blond haired male talking to Belinda,

"Who is that?" Lily questioned, and was intrigued when the man met her eyes. She noted he had a pair of gorgeous blue orbs,

"My brother Niklaus." Elijah announced.
