Chapter 6
Memories
A/N: Helllooooooo! I have answered some questions at the bottom so please check them out. Onto the story
"Elijah"
Lillith didn't know whether to run from the angered look in his eyes or hug him for the sadness and betrayal she saw in them as well.
"It seems the Salvatore's and their hunter decided to dagger me. Do you know anything of this?" Oh yeah, Elijah was pissed.
"No I swear! I would not betray you like that Elijah. You have given me no reason not to trust you. I had no idea what they were planning, I'm so sorry" Elijah stared her down for a moment before the betrayal and hurt left his eyes. The anger remained but she saw that it was not directed at her. He nodded.
"I believe you, Ungur einn" She let out a sigh of relief. After a moment of hesitation, Lillith ran forward and wrapped her arms around him. Elijah froze. It had been centuries since he had held her in his arms. Some broken, empty part of him warmed at the feeling. His systir sálarinnar with him again. When she pulled away, she took a peice of him with her just as she did when she had died.
"Though I am not angry at you, the rest of them must be dealt with. A deal was broken" Lillith nodded.
"I understand, but please, no matter what they did they're my friends. Some of the only ones I have left. Just don't hurt them." Elijah watched her for a moment. Even in this life she was far to kind and trusting. He knew the Salvatore's and the doppelganger were not to be trusted. He only wished that when they showed that, Lillith would not end up hurt. Her tawny brown eyes bored into his.
"Of course, Ungur einn" She smiled before a questioning look filtered across her face.
"What does that mean? Ungur einn?" Elijah smiled kindly at her. She was just too curious.
"It means Young One. Which is what you are" Lillith laughed before she yawned. ELijah stepped back from her.
"You must rest. Your friends are safe, you have nothing to fear." He watched as she attempted to argue before another yawn hit her. Crawling into bed, she met his eyes.
"Thank you"
"Anything for you, Ungur einn" She smiled before sleep began to take her. But before she was gone entirely she spoke again.
"I hope I see you in my dreams again" Elijah paused from where he was at her door. Dreams? He was in her dreams? He would have to look into it.
"Goodnight, my bræður maki" And with those last words, he was gone.
He had a doppelganger and two idiotic vampires to take care of.
~The next day~
Lillith woke up feeling rested and happy. Elijah was alive and the world was back as it should be. She had dreamed again. This time of the blonde boy and the young red haired girl. They were dancing together in the woods. The stars were glittering in her eyes and the boy had told her he loved her. She had felt warm as she watched, as if those words were the beginning and ending of everything she had ever hoped for. It confused her. Jumping out of bed, she went to go wake Teddy and make breakfast. But apparently, someone had beaten her to it.
"Mornin' Aunt Lily" Jeremy was sitting at the table food in front of both him and Teddy. She laughed.
"Jere, you do realize i'm not actually your aunt, right?" He had taken to calling her Aunt Lily and pretended as if Teddy were his little cousin. It was adorable and made her feel like she belonged. Like she had a family that was not just her and little Teddy.
"Well yeah but you are like my honorary aunt!" She had helped Jeremy through his depression and drug addictions when she had first gotten here. Ever since then, they had formed a bond. He had needed someone like that after his mom died and his actual aunt had her hands full.
"Well thanks Jere. That's sweet" She kissed both her boys on the cheeks before making her own breakfast. Sitting down to eat her waffles, she reached out to play with Teddy's toes. Jeremy had dressed him but had forgotten shoes and socks. She adored Teddy's toes. So small and perfect, it made him seem so fragile. The little boy squealed when she began to tickle his feet. Jeremy laughed loudly and almost spilled his drink on the table.
"MOOMY! EEK" Teddy continued his attempt to get her to stop as he giggled uncontrollably. It was times like these that made life truly worth living in Lillith's eyes. With her little Teddy, nothing was bad. When the boy seemed out of breath, she stopped.
"So what do you boys want to do today?"
"Leejah!" Lillith was confused before she realized. He wanted Elijah! Oh that was too cute. Jeremy met her eyes and tilted his head in confusion.
"He wants to see Elijah" Jeremy looked shocked for a moment before he snorted.
"Only this kid would want to spend time with a bloodthirsty original vampire" Laughing, the two cleaned up and made plans to go to the grill. She didn't know where Elijah was currently but he had given her his cellphone number and she would probably give him a call later.
What she didn't know was that Elijah was trapped in the Salvatore cellar, dead as he could get.
~At the Grill~
Lillith and Jeremy had been sitting with Teddy when her phone rang. She excused herself and went outside.
"Hello?"
"Ciao! Tesoro mio! Come stai amore mio?" Lillith almost shrieked with joy.
"Blaise! Mi manchi!"
"Mi manchi anche tu amore mio" She had learned Italian from Blaise when she had stayed at his house before coming to America.
"It's been far too long, mi amore" Lillith felt like crying. It had been months since she had seen either of her best friends. "Move over Blaise I want to speak to her" When she heard Draco's voice she actually started crying.
"Dragon" She choked out and all of a sudden she heard the rustling stop.
"Mi amore? What is wrong, tesoro mio? Why do you cry?" Lillith laughed through her tears.
"I just miss my boys so much."
"Do not cry for us Lily. We miss you as well, darling. Actually we called to ask you something." Her curiosity peaked she attempted to calm down.
"What is it?"
"Well, mi amore, Draco and I are getting married!" She screamed in happiness catching the attention of some passers by. She smiled apologetically.
"FINALLY! I have been waiting for Draco to ask you for months!" Thats when Blaise laughed.
"I asked him, tesoro mio. He chickened out" Lillith laughed along with him and she could hear Draco huffing in the background.
"Draco you had it all planned"
"Yes, Yes. I chickened out. But that's not what we wanted to ask you."
"What did you want to ask?"
"Well Mi amore, we were wondering if you would want to be our best woman?" Lillith felt absolutely touched.
"Oh Blaise, Dragon. I would be honored! But how am i going to be both?"
"It doesn't matter, Mi amore. You just stand with us and give a speech. Will you come? It's in a few months" Lillith thought for a moment.
"Say you'll come, darling. I want to see you and my cousin" Lillith knew Draco probably missed little Teddy.
"Of course I'll be there. I would never miss my two best friends wedding" She could hear them cheering over the phone.
"We must go now, Mi amore. Nina is calling us, she is already planning everything and driving us crazy"
"Goodbye, boys. I miss you so much"
"Goodbye Bellissimo" "Bye, Little Lily" They hung up with promises to talk again soon and send her the ideas for the wedding. Lillith turned and went back into the Grill. Jeremy was helping Teddy with his chicken nuggets and Elena and Caroline had joined them.
"Hey guys!" They two girls turned to her and smiled.
"Hey Lilly"" Lilly! We haven't see you in forever!" Lillith laughed at Caroline's overdramatics. The four spent an hour talking and eating as Teddy played with his toys. That was when Damon came up to her. She glared angrily at him. He flinched.
"Hey birdy"
"Damon" The icy glare was still present on her face as she gave him a clipped response. Damon sighed and ran a hand down his face.
"Come on Birdy. He couldn't be trusted! He's an original."
"It gave you no right to dagger him Damon! He was my friend."
"You trust people you shouldn't trust Lily"
"It doesn't matter. He's okay now so just leave him alone" Damon looked confused.
"Birdy, Elena daggered him last night when he came to the lake house. He's gone" Lillith froze in her spot.
"What?" Her voice was deathly quiet and even Teddy looked afraid.
"How dare you?!" She looked between Elena and Damon, the rage in her eyes making them quak. To see such a look on the face of their friend who was so genuinely kind made them feel extremely guilty.
"I had to protect everyone Lily" Lillith looked at Elena before she abruptly got up and lifted Teddy into her arms.
"That's what Elijah was doing"
A/N: Another chapter done.
Teddy will be the reincarnation of Henrik. Enough people have said that it sounds interesting and i have a few ideas so i will got with that.
Elijah is not in love with Lillith. It is a strictly brother love he feels for her. Its strong so it may seem like that sometimes.
There will be more memories revealed and we are getting closer to Alaric/Klaus since Elijah has been daggered. Once the decade dance happens that's when everything starts to kick in. Lillith is not in a lot of the major scenes mostly because she tends to stay out of it. However, this changes once Klaus shows up.
If you would like Klaus to take Lillith with him when he goes to find werewolf packs let me know.
