1It was a moonless night as Hope Mikaelson daughter of Niklaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall sat alone under a great oak tree on the grounds of The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted when a disembodied women's voice said, "You're not evil Hope!"
Hope looks around trying to find who is speaking when the disembodied women's voice said, "You won't see my unless I want you to"
"W-Who are you" Hope asks looking around.
"Your mother knew me as Lilly" The disembodied women's voice explained.
Hope watches as a woman dressed in black leather with blackish/gray skin walks forward. Hope watches the women's skin shifts to pinkish white…
"I have a home not far from here, I live there with my wife"
"What are you!" Hope asks in a speculative tenor.
"The progenitor of Homonus Nocturni" Lilly told her.
"B -But my family" Hope stammered.
"Hope the reason I have lived as long as I have is the world thinks I am a fairy story" Lilly said, "Besides We Two are the last living Hybrids"
"There were two of us initially my mate was named Drake"
"How come I never heard about you" Hope asks.
"Because I compelled your entire family to never reveal the secret" Lilly said "That became difficult with Rebecca"
"Why" Hope Asks quizzically.
"Because she's had my blood" Lilly explains
At another part of the Campus Katherine Forsyth was talking to a newly turned vampire, looking at the new vampire she asked, "What's your name!"
As her fangs start protruding over her lower lip she said, "S-Susan"
"Susan… What your experiencing is nothing to be ashamed of it's called the thrust all new vampires go through it, come on let's get you something to drink"… Katherine said as they walked to the head mistress's office…
"Caroline Forbs" Katherine states…
Caroline turns to the sound of the voice asking "Elena!"
"Katherine actually" She said Walking in as Caroline goes for a weapon and Katherine said, "I'm not here to fight, Susan needs some blood... or have you forgotten the burning in your throat and how painful it was when you were new"
"Of course…" Caroline quipped handing a glass to Susan as Katherine said, "drink it slowly, even though you'll want to chug it"
"This is very unlike you Katherine" Caroline said eyeing her trying to make sense of things and waiting for an explanation
Shrugging her shoulders Katherine said, "My wife changed me!
"Caroline, what is I told you everything we know about the origins is wrong" Katherine explained, "My wife is a Vampire she was born in Ancient Sumeria during the Early Dynastic Period"
Caroline walks over to a cabinet and takes out 30-year-old first malt scotch and pours herself four fingers.
"Say that Again" Caroline asks, as she drinks it down in one swallow!
A disembodied voice said "I was born in Ancient Sumeria during the Early Dynastic Period, I am the progenitor of Homonus Nocturni "
Caroline goes to give them both daylight rings when waving her off Lilly sates, "I've never needed one I am a day-walker!"
Looking at the ring on her hand Caroline, thinks, what's that then
"It's an ordinary wedding ring" Lilly said, offhandedly, as Caroline realizes the implications of the comment she looked at Lilly slack-jawed saying, "That would mean you've been walking around since the dawn of man"
"Yes, it does, doesn't it!" Lilly said softly walking to Susan telling her, "If you feel the Thirst again, and Miss Forbs is unavailable, come to me and I will help you!"
As Susan leaves Katherine makes sure all the window blinds are drawn and the door blinds are drawn.
"Before I show you, Hope I want your word you won't try this, your word or I compel you to agree"
"Caroline", Katherine States sipping her scotch, "I watched her compel Marcel to stake himself to death, and then stick her bleeding hand into his chest bringing him back from the dead"
"That's not…" Caroline said only to be cut off by Lilly saying "Possible"
Feeling a shiver of fear run down her spine Caroline muttered, "Oh alright agreed"
"Caroline I am not an Original I am thee Original, you would call me an old one" Lilly said in a light willowy voice.
"She compelled dad to dance a jig for a half an hour!" Chuckling Hope said mom got it on her phone Any time I am sad she would play it"
Moments Later
"Ready Kat" Lilly said, both Caroline and Hope looked at one another confused as the bones in her face started moving around and reforming the very structure of her face itself… As the full effect takes hold Lilly looks like the perfect twin of Katherine."
"YOUR A HYBRED!" Caroline screams
Looking at Hope Lilly said, "I have a unique anatomy, my bone structure is very malleable you didn't hear any bones braking, did you?"
As Lilly shifts back Hope said, "N-No"
"Even your Voice sounds like her!" Caroline said stunned saying, "If you wouldn't mind changing back."
Lilly shifts back and Caroline Shivers at the memory of what she just saw at the memory of seeing Katherine and Elena standing side by side rushed to the forefront of her mind's eye.
"Be grateful you didn't see my demonic form, that would really make you shiver" Katherine explained
"No Hope what you saw was my natural camouflage I was mid transformation at the time" Lilly explained.
Josie Saltzman walk in and said, "Mama this spell is giving me problems"
"May I Lilly" said looking at the spell, followed by, "I see where you're having your problem"
"See this line of text here", Lilly said "That would open a rift between this world and the next, but when we change it by making this notation it allows you to see the one your heart desires"
Josie looks at Lilly unable to ready her asking, "What's your name"
"You may call me Lilly"
"Thank you, Lilly." Josie said as she walks out…
Caroline looks a Lilly asking, "Who… Are… You"
"Someday I may tell you, but for now my secret lies in the hands of my wife Katherine"
"Hope, the last person that attempted to copy what I just showed you died, you have to be of my bloodline for it to work!" Lilly said as she and Katherine walked out of the office.
"You do realize the first thing Caroline is going to do is go through every tome they have trying to figure out who you are!" Katherine quipped.
