Wildman9002: Hi! Yes, I have, I wanted to have a plan in my head before I started writing things down.


When Lilly finally dragged herself to bed, she was too exhausted to even change her clothes before she fell asleep. One question kept running through her head 'why didn't he look for me?' She didn't feel any better when she woke the next morning, just a sense of dread taking over her body. Last night happened. She was lucky that she didn't see anyone before school.

Lilly bumped into Bonnie and Caroline in the school hallway, she caught Bonnie's eye first as Caroline asked the girl if she was really psychic, "Hey Lilly, I did what you said" Bonnie grinned "I spoke to my Grams and turns out I'm a witch!"

Lilly smiled "That's great, so like magic and stuff right?"

Bonnie shook her head "Grams was on the liquor last night so I kind of tuned out but I got cool Salem witch chicks, but I think she's just going crazy"

Lilly's smile fell, she thought Bonnie trying to tap into her witchy powers would be the good thing she needed to get through the day. As always things don't work out quite how people expect them to.

Caroline turned to the vampire "Lilly, you know new people, right?"

The brunette raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bonnie for help as she replied: "Um, the only new person I know is Stefan, why?"

Caroline continued "Well maybe you can help me find the name and number of this guy I saw at the Grille last night"

Lilly shot her friend a confused look "I wasn't at the Grille last night, and I'm not psychic like some people so I'm going to need a bit more information other than just 'some guy'"

Caroline sent her a look "Yeah, obviously, but that means you'll help me right?"

"Yeah of course Care, did you see him, Bonnie?"

"No, sorry, only Caroline did"

"Anyway Lilly" The blonde gave the vampire a stern look "he's got black hair, gorgeous blue eyes and like a bad boy vibe" Lilly had to laugh a little otherwise she would scream at the description. It could not be a coincidence that the same night her father arrives into town, that Caroline sees someone with the exact description of him in the Grille.

"I'll keep a lookout for you Care"

Lilly took a walk before going back to the Boarding House to clear her head of all her jumbled thoughts about her unconventional family. She needed to be focussed to keep her emotions in check if she saw Stefan or Zach, however, while walking up to her front door she noticed Elena waiting outside, seemingly looking a little nervous which was understandable considering the size of the house. "Elena, you okay?" Elena spun around "Hey Lilly, I was just returning a book to Stefan" the doppelganger held up the book and pointed it toward the door "Do you know if he's in?"

The vampire chuckled lightly before pulling the key to her house out of her bag "No, but there's only one way to find out"

Elena moved out of the way as Lilly moved towards the door, she immediately knew something was wrong as the door had been left ajar, frowning, Lilly pushed the door open and cautiously walked inside as Elena followed. "Zach?" Lilly called out "Stefan? Anyone home?" Lilly put her backpack down on the chair in the hallway and motioned for Elena to sit on one of the giant couches "I'm going to go see if I can find anyone" Lilly's voice almost breaking at the end, she couldn't deny that she felt scared, if he found her now with the doppelganger no less. There would be no telling what would happen to her. Turning around Lilly almost screamed as she came face to face with her father who had the audacity to smirk at her.

Rage. That's all the younger vampire could feel as she stared into eyes just like her own, she expected herself to break down again when she next saw Damon, but rage, she didn't think she would feel that so soon. "You must be Elena" as he gestured to the human on the couch who was confused about the whole situation. Damon walked past his daughter as she just stared at him, trying to keep her composure. "I'm Damon, Stefan's brother" The elder vampire turned on his heels towards Lilly "Which means you must be Lilly" he waved at her "Hey Roomie"

Lilly went to say something but Elena beat her to it "Wait, Stefan didn't say he had a brother" without hesitation, Damon replied "Well Stefan's not one to brag" as he turned back to Elena. "You know I never thought Stefan would get over the last one, nearly destroyed him"

Lilly frowned and tilted her head at her father, this was not the time to be toying with Elena, this was the time for him to send the human back home so he could explain why the hell he didn't come looking for his daughter.

"The last one?"

"Yeah, Katherine, oh, you haven't had the ex's talk? Well, I'm sure it'll come up now" Elena looked uncomfortable and Lilly decided to save the poor girl from Damon.

"Elena?" She called "Do you want me to give Stefan the book, to save you waiting for him?" The human nodded while she stood and rummaged through her bag. She passed Lilly the book and said goodbye to the vampires before scurrying out the front door.

Damon slid his fingers across the couch as Lilly folded her arms over her chest "Really?" she questioned "The ex's talk?" Damon stopped moving his hand "And what do you know about Stefan's ex?"

"I know that it's a dick move" she retorted, before he could make another witty comment, Stefan appeared next to Lilly as she pretended to Jump.

"Damon" Stefan greeted his brother.

"You know I like Elena, she's got spunk, unlike you, you look pooped" Lilly took that as her cue to leave, she didn't exactly want to be in the middle of a fight, the tension in the room was already thick, she picked up her backpack but not before she heard her father's voice "See you round Lilly Everett" but the younger vampire didn't even look back, from what she had just witnessed, part of her was glad that he never found her.

Damon smiled at Stefan "So, Lilly's cute, she's got spunk as well" the smile soon turned into a smirk.

"Stay away from her Damon. I'm serious" Stefan slowly walked down the steps toward his brother.

Damon gasped "Stefan? Are you cheating on Elena?"

"Lilly's got enough going on in her life without you terrorising her as well"

"Oh c'mon Stefan what's one more vampire roaming around Mystic Falls? Hm?"

"No." Stefan couldn't explain it, he felt such a protectiveness towards a girl who actively tried to avoid him over the summer. It's like she knew death and destruction seemed to follow him, he was grateful though, he could at least keep one person in Mystic Falls safe.

Stefan and Damon both left the house that night so Lilly was left alone with Zach who, if he wasn't careful, would probably have a heart attack from worrying about the 'Animal Attacks'. Zach had told Lilly that Stefan compelled Vikki as Lilly sat on her bed while Zach stood "His compulsion is going to be useless if he is not on human blood"

"I know aunt Lilly, that's what I'm scared about" the human started pacing back and forth "What if it doesn't work and she remembers?" Lilly shifted "Is that your way of hinting that you want me to compel her just in case?" Zach nodded and Lilly made a move to get off the bed, she grabbed her jacket and headed for the door.

As Lilly headed out of the house she had a call from Matt asking if she had seen Vikki, Lilly immediately when on the alert, if Vikki wasn't in the hospital she could be anywhere. The vampire told Matt that she would keep an eye out for his sister and phone him if she saw her. Lilly headed straight to the Grille, it was the one place where nearly all the teenagers hung out so she thought it best to start there. When she was near the Grille Lilly noticed two figures standing on a rooftop one was Damon and the other was Stefan, not wanting to be seen, she ran for the building's entrance in case Vikki fell or was pushed. Lilly overheard her father trying to tempt her uncle to feed.

As soon as Vikki came down Lilly compelled her to walk back to the Grille with her, Lilly sat the injured human in a booth and phoned Matt who picked up almost instantly "Hey Matt, It's Lilly, I've found Vikki. We're both at the Grille" The human said he would be five minutes and then hung up. As the jock headed through the doors he ran toward his sister as Lilly explained how she found her "I found her wandering the streets and I think her stitches are torn as well" Matt took his sisters face in his hands and turned back to the vampire "Thank you" he whispered "Thank You" Lilly nodded and left the siblings to it.
