Hello readers!
This is a sequel to "A Mars in Mystic Fall's".
It can be read alone but it's best if you've read that first! Especially since I will be talking about things from the first story.
I hope you'll like it, I'll try to make it as good as possible.
Any requests?

My name is Lilly Kane...
Lilly Veronica Kane.
I was named after daddy's big sister who was killed 2 years before I was born... He always said that she was full of life and that Neptune was too small for her... Maybe that's why we live in Los Angeles... I have a picture of her and Aunt Veronica when they were young... She was pretty... I wish she was still alive... She looks fun!
My second name is after my godmother and Aunt Veronica. She's the coolest!
I have long hair. They're not blond like mummy, they're more like a light brown like daddy and my eyes are green...
I live in Los Angeles with my parents and today is my 12th birthday... I just got off the phone with Aunt Veronica and she wished me a happy birthday. She paid for the super party I had with all my friends yesterday... She's super cool and so is her husband and his siblings.
I went to their wedding when I was 6 and she let me be a flower girl... I was the prettiest in all the church... Well, that's what she said but I thought SHE was the prettiest... Even prettier than mommy! I remember that I had a lot of fun with mommy and daddy and Veronica and her family. I remember that back then I thought that Kol was the prettiest of Klaus' siblings and I had been very sad to learn that he had a girlfriend... It's weird though because she had dark short hair, big tick glasses... She looked like someone in disguise... Like she was hiding or something... I asked aunt Veronica and she told me that it was because Kol's girlfriend was in the Witness Protection program and that she couldn't be recognized for her safety.
I kept the secret!
But right now, when I look back at all the pictures, I think the 6 years old me didn't have super taste because the prettiest of them all is definitely Elijah...
.
Today is also the day when everything will change for me... I didn't know it yet but life as I knew it was about to take a radical turn!
Why?
Something terrible was about to happen...
...
I was at home, waiting on my parents to come back from the doctor's office to check on mommy's baby... Today we were going to learn if it's a boy or a girl and I was super exited for it!
They were late and after 2 hours of me waiting all alone at home, worrying and thinking about my family, two cops came, telling me that there was an accident a few blocks away...
My parents were dead and I was all alone...
They said they died on the spot, that they didn't suffer, like it would make things easier to deal with... Like knowing they didn't suffer made them dying any better.
"How did it happen?" I asked in a dead voice. Aunt Veronica always told me to ask for as much info as possible... Information is power she said.
"A drunk driver." The younger of the two cops replied, looking sorry.
"What happened to him?" I asked, tears running down my cheeks.
"She's in the hospital in a coma... We don't know when she'll wake up." The same cop replied. Maybe it was his job, giving the info and the other one was probably just the bad news giver...
"Her?" I asked.
"Some woman named Madison Sinclair..." The old guy said.
Yeah... Bad new giver... I remember that name from stories daddy said about Aunt Lilly and aunt Veronica... Madison Sinclair was in school with them and was mean... It's a small world...
I cry harder. The younger looking cop tell me it will be alright...
Idiots!
"Do you know who is your emergency contact miss? A neighbour, your Grandparents? Family friends? Do we need to call social services?" The older cop asked me after a while of me crying on the other one's shoulder.
"My aunt Veronica... She's my godmother. Her number is on the fridge..." I replied in a dead voice...
Why was he asking me questions now? Couldn't he tell I needed to grieve? I couldn't think right now, why couldn't he understand that?
In the background, I can hear someone making a phone call... I think it's the bad news giver who's talking because I'm still crying on the other one's shoulder.
Someone was on the phone with Aunt Veronica...
Someone tell me that she's on her way... She'll be there in a few hours and a cop will stay with me until then...
No social services for me then...
Good, I've heard terrible stories about those people...
.
While I wait, I think about what was going to happen with me now... Will Aunt Veronica take me to live with her?
I sure hoped so... I didn't see myself living with dad's parents or with mom's sisters...
Aunt Veronica is the best! The last time I saw her was a couple of years ago but she makes a point of calling me once a week... I love her... I'd rather live with her than with anyone else...
Dad's parents hate me... They think it's my fault that dad isn't...wasn't, I reminded myself...wasn't a big politician. Celeste hated me even more because of the name they gave me and who they named my godmother...
Screw them! I don't want them!
Mommy's sisters are okay I guess but I don't feel all that comfortable with them around... Personally, I always thought they were a little weird... I don't think they like me all that much either, I never see them more than once a year...
Mom's parents are still in jail and were very bad people... I don't know more but it's enough for me to want to stay away.
What if she doesn't want me?
She doesn't have kids... Maybe she doesn't want one... Daddy always said that being an Aunt was easier than being a mother just like being an uncle was easier than being a father...
.
The cop that stayed with me remained quiet the entire time, not trying to start a conversation with me. Aunt Veronica had sent a text on my phone, saying she was on her way and that I would go and live with her... Everyone was getting things ready for me in their big family home in Mystic Fall's...
Good, I never liked it much here anyway! Too many people, you never know anybody...
...
I was sitting in dad's favourite chair with mum's blanket...I'll have to ask Aunt Veronica if we can take that with us... I'm almost sure she'll say yes... She's always been super nice and super cool with me!
It's so quiet in the house that I can hear it when a car stops in front of the house... Someone rings the bell and the cop opens the door before I can even blink... He probably heard them too...
There is some talking in the background and I know it's Aunt Veronica and Uncle Klaus proving their identities.
"Thank you officer, we'll come by the station tomorrow for the details." Klaus' voice announce while Aunt Veronica runs to me and hugs me.
She's crying too.
...
The next couple of days passed by in a blur.
Aunt Veronica got mad when she learned who caused the accident... well, it doesn't matter much since the woman ended up dying the next day anyway... They said it was anemia... Something to do with her blood and a sudden heavy loss... Whatever, she deserved it for killing my parents and baby brother.
...
The funeral was long and emotional and after it, there was a wake at home... I didn't know half the people there but I didn't leave Aunt Veronica's side.
The day after the funeral, we all had to go to the lawyer's office to listen to the reading of the Will.
The house went to one of mom's sister, the car left to the other sister. My custody went to aunt Veronica.
Of course Jake and Celeste Kane tried to stop it and protested that they would be better to take care of me but apparently Aunt Veronica and Uncle Klaus had everything planed and there was nothing they could do about it.
Good.
...
Today we were packing.
They said I could take dad's armchair and mom's blanket. They allowed me to decide on what I wanted to do with everything. Mom's things was shared between her sister's and Grandpa took a lot of dad's things. The rest went to charity... that's the way they would have wanted it.
I packed what I wanted and we loaded it in the moving truck Klaus had ordered. The driver left before us.
I had a couple of suitcases in the car for the road. We had a long way to go...
"Are you ready Princess?" Veronica asked me as she held my door open.
"Yes, Let's go!" I replied, taking my seat in the car. I wanted away from this town, away from the memories...
...
We were on the road now...
We were driving toward Mystic Fall's, Virginia.
Aunt Veronica and Uncle Klaus decided it would be best for me to finish growing up there... I heard that they had planed a big reunion anyway... A lot of their friends would be back in town too...
A new life was starting and I could feel that they were hiding something from me... All Aunt Veronica said when I asked her about it was that once we arrive, she would have something important to tell me...
So, what did you think of this first chapter of the sequel?
Liked it? Hated it?
Please don't forget to review, it's important for me to decide on where to go from here!
Who will be back in Mystic Fall's?
I don't think it's going to be a long story people but tell me what you'd like to see happening, maybe it will inspire me...
Keep on reading me!
