Lily was still in bed when Caroline came rushing through her door, " Lillian Ann Forbes get up right now or I'm getting the bucket." Lily shot out of bed, Care threatening to get the bucket and dump water on her was the last thing she wanted. Caroline smirked and left the room realizing she had won the match between the two. Lily looked over at her clock and saw she had fifteen minutes to get ready. After Care left she zoomed over to her closet and picked out a pair of her leggings and red dress shirt. She threw on her grandmas gold necklace and diamond earring, grabbed her purse, and left her room. She went to the bathroom to do her make-up when she was done with that she went to eat breakfast. Lily walked down the steps and went into the kitchen. When she got in the room she saw Caroline drinking coffee.
" Well look who decided to join me my amazing twin sister Lily," Her sister said sarcastically.
" Oh Care you said I was amazing I'm touched," Lily said within eye roll. She left the living room to put on a pair of her heels. She got in the car with Care and went to school. They car parked and she got out and slammed her door shut. The bumping of blood filled Lilys ears as she didn't move from her spot by the car. Caroline began to walk to the door and noticed that Lily wasn't following her. She turned around and Lily took a deep breath and started following her. They saw Bonnie and Elena talking so Caroline left her, and ran up to asked if Elena was okay. Lily started walking away shaking her head when she bumped into a man she never saw before.
" I'm so sorry ,"she looked up at him, " you're new right."
" Yeah I'm Stefan Salvatore," he said with a smile.
" I'm Lillian Forbes but you can just call me Lily," and then it dawned on her, " you're new so you probably don't know this back there's this Bon-fire party for back to school coming up."
" Are you going to be there?" he asked hoping she would say yes.
" actually I am. My sisters forcing me to go um.. I wanted ask you something do you believe in the supernatural?"
" I do , why do ask?" he looked confused
" just wondered. It's just the town has a very rich supernatural "history" figured it was one of the reasons you moved here,"
" I actually lived here before I just moved back with my uncle Zack."
" Well then, Welcome back," he could tell she was having trouble with the conversation. He chuckled to himself, " um.. we should get to class." He nodded. With that said she went to her class and he went to his.
Lily walked past the area where the stoniers hang out. She looked over and saw Jeremy pining over Vicki. Tyler walked over and started mouthing off like always. Jeremy and him started threatening each other which meant Lily had to get involved. She walked over and got in the middle of the two boys.
" Why don't you both stop before you say something you'll regret."
" Lily , move I don't want to hurt you," Tyler said bledingly to her.
" Then take Vicki and walk away, Ty."
" The punk started it," he defended.
" Always blame me. You're the one who started mouthing off," Jeremy said back.
" Well, I'm finishing it Tyler," they both looked at her, " Jeremy don't even say anything just both of you walk away."
" Come Vic, she's right it's not worth it," he said walking away as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Jeremy looked at her trying to apologise, but she walked away before he could.
On the way home Caroline could not stop talking about how me and Stefan were going to get married and have kids that she was going to spoil rotten. Even though Lily couldn't have kids because of what she was it was a nice thought. Caroline didn't even know what she was, she couldn't tell her. She couldn't just come out and say hey remember how I went on that trip to Chicago well I got turned into a vampire see you at dinner. She noticed though that Stefan had been acting the same she has been around people that's why she asked her question.
The rest of the day went by really slow her mom was home late like always. She finished all her home work in her study hall so she went up to her room and read. When morning came she got ready and was waiting for Caroline this time.
" well , someone wants to see Stefan Salvatore again. Did you invite him to the party at the falls?"
" as a matter a fact I did." Lily said with a huge smile on her face."
" You know what Lily Salvatore does have a nice ring to it." Her sister said suggestively. Lily rolled her eyes and got in the car. They got to school the days were pretty much the same after the first. After the final bell rang Lily said bye to Stefan and got into the car to go home. Lily searched through her closet and found her leather legging. She also found her favorite forest green dress top. Got a quick shower. Then got ready. They got to the party a couple minutes later then expected.
" hey, Care. Lily so where is Stefan?" Lily rolled her eyes again and then she saw him.
" Care I'll call you when I'm ready to leave." She could hear the blood pumping in everyone there but she didn't focus on it. She walked over to him and they started talking.
" Hey, Stefan glad you could come."
" Well, I figured if you had to suffer I might as well join you," he said laughing.
" well, thank you Mr. Salvatore."
" Any time Ms. Forbes," he joked back. Stefan could see how fast her chest was rising and falling, " Are you okay?" He asked her.
" Yeah, I'm fine."
" do you want too go for a walk?" he asked her noticing how tense she was.
" yeah , that be great." They started talking about their families and friends.
" So , do you have any siblings?"
" None that I talk to."
" What does that mean?"
" I'll explain later. What about you?" He asked her curiously.
" Um.. one sister. A twin , though not identical."
" I could tell."
" My mom used to mix us up when we were little."
" Really?" He asked her shocked. Her and Caroline looked nothing alike.
" Yeah, um I guess being sheirff does that," Lily replied sighing.
" I don't mean this to be rude, but I just met you and I could tell the difference."
" The only good my mother did was make me want to help people."
" I heard about what you did , with Tyler and Jeremy. You don't have to get involved," he said.
" Well, I'm trying to save both of them."
When they got back to the party Lily stop dead in her tracks. Stefan looked at her worriedly, " Lily, are you okay?" then he noticed why she stopped he could smell the blood. A group of kids brought Vicki over to the party and things got ten times worse. Stefan noticed the veins appearing under her eyes. He got in front of her to and keep her focused. He knew he was about to lose control too but he had to get Lily out of here.
" You're gonna walk away from this clean understand." Lily could only nod to what he had said. Stefan grabbed her arm and got her as far away a possible. He looked at her and saw her face had fully turned. He knew how to calm her down because if Lexi, because he used to be just like her. She looked at him and saw that his face had changed to.
" You're.. you're a vampire too?" She looked at him closely and saw his face go back to normal.
" Yes I am. That doesn't matter right down okay"
Her face hadn't changed back yet and he knew if didn't it would end well," I don't want to hurt anyone."
" Lily I need you to breath okay , just breath you're gonna be okay," he said , " Lily I promised you , you were gonna walk away clean ,okay, and you are if you just breath." She finally started to clam down after he said that. Then it hit her, what she almost did, she almost feed on human blood. She slid down the tree in tears. Stefan kneeled down beside her and let her cry into his shirt. Her sobbing died down to a slight whimper and the it was quiet.
For some reason he wanted to protect her. He barley knew her, but what he felt with her was different from what he felt with anyone else. He didn't want his brother to ruin that. Lily was a sweet innocent girl who was turned into this he didn't want her to have go go through this alone like he had to. He knew who attacked Vicki and he was pissed about it. He picked her up and started carring her out if the woods.
