Lilly Kane:
Young, Fabulous and Dead
Part 4
Years passed and while Lilly was trying to find a way to be able to see Veronica's graduation ceremony, Klaus got word of a doppelganger in Mystic Fall's and was planing on going to break his curse. It would be the first time since getting together that the couple would be appart and it made them both very nervous.
"I know you have to do this but I'll miss you." she told him.
"I know, and I'll miss you too. You're sure you're okay with what I have to do?" He asked her.
"Yes, don't worry. I know you'll have to kill some people but it's a part of life... Survival of the fittest and all..." she replied with a smirk before she kissed him fiercely, ending the conversation for the night.
She didn't want to admitt to him that she was mostly afraid that someone would try and manage to kill him. She wished she could be there to support him but she knew that Veronica needed her the most right now. Indeed, even if she had been accepted to Stanford, since she used all her money to put her mother into rehab last year (another big disappointment since the woman left the facility before she had completed the program), she had to go to Hearst, the only place close to home that was giving her a full scholarship.
.
While Klaus was on his way to break his curse, Lilly had asked Greta, one of Klaus' witches, to come with her so she could hide in somebody else's body. At first the young witch was going to go with Klaus and his other witch but the Original had ordered her to serve Lilly and to do anything she needed. He had managed to get a second witch somewhere and so he was fine too.
Lilly warned Veronica before hand of course that she was going to come in somebody else's body. The young P.I knew it wasn't really right to take over somebody's body for something like this but she was happy to be able to spend some time with her best friend so she didn't say anything.
Since Klaus had kept the house he had in Neptune, Lilly and Greta settled in it before they transfered Lilly into a homeless girl they had found in another town and called Veronica to tell her that they had arrived.
Sadly, they didn't have time to waste before the graduation ceremony so they left immediately, sending to Veronica a picture of who Lilly was in so she could recognise her.
Lilly applauded wildly when Veronica got her diploma and was suprised to hear so many peopoe cheering her on. Apparently, a lot of people secretly liked her for her intergity and her PI work. She was pleased and chuckled when she noticed Veronica's shocked look.
When the ceremony ended, they went to find Veronica only to hear Keith telling her he had to go and catch Woody Goodman before he moved again and so they knew Veronica would be alone for the reminder of the day.
"Now, are you sure you'll be fine on your own?" Keith asked his daughter.
"Yes, dad, don't worry." She replied.
"It's just, I worry about you. Please at least tell me that you won't be getting back together with Logan... I don't like how he is with you honey..." Keith said, looking her in the eyes.
"Don't worry about it dad... After what I caught him doing with Kendall Casablancas, I don't think I'll ever go back with him." Veronica replied, trying to reassure her father and convince herself at the same time.
"Good, you deserve better than him anyway." The PI said.
"I'm your only daughter, nobody is going to be good enough for me. Even Leo D'amato wasn't good enough for you!" Veronica chuckled.
"Well, what can I say? My daughter deserves better. You deserve to be with someone who will treat you like a princess and respect you all the while challenging you. Someone who will let you free and protect you at the same time... Someone who can give you the life you deserve..." Keith said before he sighted and said "I have to go now, you be careful okay?"
Veronica nodded and kissed her father goodbye before she watched him go towards his car.
"Congratulations Veronica Mars!" Lilly said, making Veronica jump.
"Thanks Lily." Veronica whispered so that nobody could hear them as she hugged her friend tightly, trying to imagine that she was here in her own body.
"So, what did Logan do now?" Lilly asked as they were both in Veronica's old LeBaron. She had seen the look they had exchanged earlier and wanted to know why Logan looked guilty while Veronica looked hurt.
"On Prom night he said he wanted us to get back together, I told him I needed to think about it. When I went to see him the next morning, he was just finishing having sex with Kendall and didn't remember ever syaing anything to me." Veronica replied, having a hard time hiding her pain.
"Isn't she Dick's step mother?" Lilly asked.
"Yep."
"Well, you're better off without him anyway, I agree with your father."
"He does sound like he's sorry thought... I might give him one last chance..." Veronica said.
"As you wish... But keep your heart on lock down so he doesn't break it!" Lilly advised.
"So, where is your man today?" Veronica asked as they got to Klaus and Lilly's house.
"He's in Mystic Fall's, trying to break the curse that binds his werewolf side. He's pretty exsited about it." Lilly explained.
"You however sound worried." Veronica noticed.
"Well, I know that he can't be killed but his brother Elijah has been trying to kill him for so long... What if he found a way?"
"Then why aren't you over there with him?"
"Because I wanted to be here for you. I know how disapointed you must be about Stanford..."
"It's okay, they have a great Criminology program here... I'll be fine. Plus, Wallace and Mac are also going to Hearst so I'll have friends...even if I already have enemies there." The young PI said with a chuckle.
"Well, I'm happy for you. Anyway even if I had wanted to be in Mystic Fall's with him, I don't think Klaus would have let me come... It would have been too dangerous for me." Lilly replied.
"Is that why he sent a witch with you? To protect you?" Veronica asked.
"I think so, even if he won't admit it." Lilly smiled.
.
While Lilly and Veronica caught up on everything and had a great time together, Klaus was breaking his curse and daggering his big brother. At first he had wanted to exchange stefan's liberty against his blood to heal Damon but he changed his mind and simply compelled the young vampire to remember what he had been compelled to forget. If they truly were friends, Stefan would come back to him some day.
He met up with Lilly afterwards and when she told him that Veronica was going 3 weeks in New York with her father and that Keith wouldn't be able to make it for the first two weeks, they both decided to go and spend some time with Veronica until Keith got there. It was also a way to ensure that she was safe in a big town full of dangers.
During those two weeks, as they talked about the curse and Klaus' human life, Veronica got a good point across: If the original witch hated him that much, wouldn't she ensure that breaking his curse would leave him without hybrids? Veronica was sure that the blood of the doppelganger was necessary to complete an hybrid's transition and when he did his first trial with normal human blood to complete a transition, she was proven right.
"Well, I guess it's a good thing that I know the Salvatore did what was necessary to keep Elena Gilbert alive." Klaus said.
"So what, you're going to drain her dry?" Veronica asked, she couldn't help the disagreement to slip from her voice.
"No, I'm going to take a bit of her blood and make sure she has a normal human life with children so that in a few years I can have a new doppelganger to give me blood. I'll take a couple of bags every few months and make sure she stays human and safe." Klaus replied.
"Well, see Veronica, it's not going to be all fun for me while you're in your first semester of school! I'll be working too." Lilly said while smiling.
Their 2 weeks together were fun and went by quickly and all too soon, Lilly and her Love had to leave so that Keith didn't see them. Lilly was happy, she had had a great time with her best friend and now her Love was finally free of the magical chains that used to bind him. She could only hope that it would keep on going this fine from now on.
I don't describe how Klaus breaks his curse because it happens the same as it did in the TV show.
Only one chapter left before the sequel to find out what happens with Veronica.
What did you think of this chapter?
