A/N: If you've already read chapter two, feel free to skip, there's nothing new, I just wasn't happy with the way I had written it before so I rewrote it, I'm still not 100% satisfied with it but writers block is really annoying. Anyway, on with the chapter! Hope you enjoy.
Lillian woke up to the sound of shuffling downstairs; she looked over to the clock on the bed side table. 7:13 am. It was way too early to get up. Groaning, she rolled over and pulled the pillow over her ears, trying to block out the sound, but failed, thanks to her enhanced vampire-hearing. After taking a deep breath, she worked up the courage to get out of bed. As soon as her feet made contact with the cold, wooden floor, Goosebumps covered her body. Hearing voices from downstairs, curiosity got the best of her, quietly tiptoeing over to the door she pushed her ear against it, so she could make out what the people were saying.
"I swear she looks like her! It can't be a coincidence!" She heard Caroline say.
"I'll look more into it later, but Klaus is back in town, I want to focus on protecting Elena and Jeremy at the moment." That was a male voice, a voice Lillian didn't recognize.
"I have to go; we'll talk about this later." The door slammed shut and Lillian waited a few minutes before opening the door and walking downstairs.
"Morning!" Caroline yelled in her overly chipper voice, which is pretty annoying this time of the morning.
"Morning." Lillian replied with a polite, but fake smile.
"How are you feeling today?" Caroline asked.
"Much better, thanks. I might go for a walk actually, and get some fresh air." Caroline smiled and nodded understandingly. Once outside, Lillian felt exposed. Every slight noise made her jump, even a small gust of wind. She ventured into the forest, once she was so far in she was sure she wouldn't be seen, she used her vampire speed to go even further.
Once she found a spot where no one would be able to find her, she used her senses to pick up the small noises. The tiny scurry of small rodents crunching leaves didn't catch her attention, but the flicking of bushes did. She followed the sound until she saw her prey. Using her speed, she lunged at the deer and sunk her teeth into it. The warm flow of blood healed the ache in her throat. Once she had drained the deer, she wiped her mouth and began the trek back, this time using human speed, so she could enjoy her surroundings.
By the time she reached Caroline's house, it was around midday. There were multiple cars out the front of her house, and Lillian was contemplating whether or not she should intrude. After standing outside for a few moments, she made her choice and walked to the door.
She was just about to reach for the door handle when the door swung open, startling her, and causing her to jump back a step. A guy with black hair was towering over her. A rather attractive guy, she thought to herself. He stepped back so she could step inside, without saying a word. Lillian followed the voices she heard, and it led her to the living room, which was full of people.
'Great! You're back.' Caroline said, 'I was afraid you got lost.' Lillian gave her a fake, polite laugh which was full of nerve. Lillian looked around the room properly for the first time since entering, the guy who opened the door for her sat on a chair in the corner, next to him was someone who looked similar to him, relatives, maybe, she thought. The other chair, the one Caroline was sitting on had two girls on it. One was tan skin with black hair, and the other… Lillian had to double glance.
The girl looked like Lillian, only an older version of her Lillian couldn't help but stare. She had spaced out until she heard Caroline clear her throat, and she came back to earth. 'How about I introduce everyone?' Caroline spoke up. 'That's, Damon, Stefan, Bonnie and Elena.' She said, pointed to each person. Elena. The girl who looked like her, her name was Elena.
