Lilith/Third's Pov

Lilith finished touching up her hair as two braids that were shaped like a heart hang in front of her face. The crystal she had got from the founding ball still sat in her purse. Once done, she walked to her purse that held the crystal. Taking the crystal out to ask her grams about it. She grabs her jacket for today and her bookbag before walking down the stairs. Her grams were off today, so she'll be spending time looking at old time movies and drinking her whiskey. 

"Good morning, Grams." Lilith welcomed her with a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning, baby, do you want anything for breakfast?" Shelia asked her granddaughter.

"No grams, I'm fine. You need your rest." Lilith rubbed her grandmother's arm.

"You always care about this old woman." Shelia kissed her cheek back.

"Hey, grams. When I get home, I want to ask you something." Lilith says.

"What about?" Sheila questioned.

"I found something that might've belonged to us or another witch." Lilith stated.

"Okay, well, ask me when you get home." Shelia nodded before Lilith walked out. 

Lilith took the car again, driving to Mystic Falls high. The sun was gleaming off the crystal as it hit the window.

Caroline/Third's Pov: Her Bedroom

Caroline sat in her room with Bonnie as she tried to go over what happened last night. After what happened with Damon and what happened with Lilith. He had bit her again, but she didn't know what happened to him. Where he was?

"I remember the party. Damon came up behind me, and he was kissing my neck, or biting my neck. I passed out. It's like there's holes in my memory lately. It's just weird. Maybe I let him bite me." Caroline says in thought as Bonnie comforts her.

"Why would you do that?" Bonnie asked.

Caroline didn't know herself. She just didn't want to talk about it, right now.

"Can we just not talk about it, ok? Don't want to talk about Damon. I don't want to talk about any of it. Just want to go back to normal. What are you doing with that candle?" Caroline spoke with a shake of her head.

"Um... Nothing." Bonnie waved off before she wanted to ask Caroline about how she knew about Lili's fake alarm.

"Hey Care, how come you remember about Lilith's false alarm pregnancy?" Bonnie questioned. Only to be met with a confused 

"False alarm, pregnancy?? What are you talking about?" Caroline looked confused.

"At the dinner party, you got in a fight with Lilith, and you brought out that she was pregnant in the 9th grade." Bonnie tells her.

"No, I have heard anything like that. And you know I know how to gossip." Caroline spoke. 

Bonnie didn't want to fight with Caroline. Now she didn't know about it. Maybe Lilith did something to her. She didn't know but she was going to find out.

Lilith/Third's Pov: School

Lilith parked the car before going inside the school, grabbing everyone's attention like always. As it felt like she was walking in slow motion. Passing by Caroline and Elena, Bonnie as she walked by. Going over to her locker as she opened it, to get her first period class books out, Tyler showed up to her locker.

"Lilith, hey." Tyler says as her watched her.

"Tyler, hey. How are you?" Lilith shuts her locker door.

"I'm good. You know just about to go to class," Tyler looked at her.

"That's good. I didn't see you at the founder's ball." Lilith spoke as she leaned against her locker door, as it almost seemed like he was trapping her against her locker.

"I had to take care of something." Tyler lied, knowing he was talking to Vicki, whom he knew his mother would not approve of. The two talked as they laughed as the golden trio looked over at them.

"It seems Lilith and Tyler are well acquainted." Elena told them.

"Please, he only wants to sleep with her." Caroline disagreed.

"Care, that's my sister chill." Bonnie took up for her sister. For the first time, actually.

"What, I just saying. Tyler just wants her for one thing and one thing only." Caroline shrugs. They're speaking was stopped by Stefan coming before Bonnie walked away. Lilith said bye to Tyler, who watched her walk away, before she went to her first class.

(Free Period)

Lilith was under the bleachers again, like always but this time she wasn't alone. She was joined by some of the stoners. She flirted mostly with one, who was hot. His name was Austin and he was also a junior but was in AP classes. She had original because she wanted to be near her sister. He laid his head on her lap as she read her mythology book. 

"How can you read that?" Austin asked as he looked at her, his eyes watching her entire movements.

"Well, it's good to know what gods and goddesses = are in different cultures." Lilith says as Austin passes her a cigarette.

"So read one to me." He watched her move the book away to look at him.

"Are you sure?" Lilith asked.

"Read it to me." Austin nodded as her chocolate brown; almost black eyes hypnotized him.

"Okay," Lilith stated as she found one. One of her favorites. Anasi brings stories to the world.

"Anansi looked around him, enjoying the world but seeing that it was a rather boring place. Realizing that the people had no stories to tell because his father Nyame was hoarding them in a box in the sky, Anansi set about a plan to take them from his father." she started as she rubbed his head.

As she read, everyone stopped to listen, almost like her voice was soothing to them. Giving them peace as they smoke their joints. Lilith smokes as she tells the story, as she lulls Austin to sleep.

"Taking this final creature to his father, Nyame announced that Anansi had successfully completed the tasks that had been set for him and presented Anansi with the box containing all the stories of the world."

She put the book down to see Austin and the stoners asleep. She stops on the bud as she rubbed his hair, taking in his facial features. Her new buddy was perfect.

Laurie Spell Shop

Laurie's Spell Shop was full of people today. She worked on the floor, putting stones and crystals in their designated places. Maybelle rings up the customers. Lilith was putting up the tiger eye, when a familiar face appeared in front of her. Meredith. And she brought her friends, who were regulars.

"Hey." Meredith says with a huge smile on her face.

"Hey. How are you?" Lilith asked Meredith.

"I'm good. My friends and I decided to come and replenish." Meredith leans closer.

"The love potion worked." 

"Really." Lilith raised an eyebrow. "Who's the lucky guy." 

"It did. His name is Alex. He's very handsome." Meredith gushed as her cheeks flushed.

"Making you blush like that, I'm sure. But to let you know, once it starts, it cannot be stopped." Lilith explained.

"I know. It's on the bottle. I just hope it doesn't get out of control." Meredith nods.

"That's why it's best to take everything slowly. " Lilith added.

"I get it. But tomorrow we are having a bash at Whitmore. I was wondering if you wanted to come." Meredith asked her.

Lilith looked at her, in thought. She'll have to ask her Grams.

"It's not certain, but I'll be there." Lilith replied.

Meredith smiled, "Nice! You are going to have so much fun. You can meet my friends and Alex."

"Can't wait." Lilith smiled before her, and Meredith said bye, and she went to her friends. 

She finished her task before going to the back so she could get more inventory from the back. Going over to go through to get more protection potions, self-love potions and bath potions. She grabbed one box of each, placing it on her cart before moving it back to the front. Maybelle had gotten through the line.

"I'm beat. This is the most business that we have had since the night of the comet." Maybe comments as she leans up against the counter.

"The night of the comet was a nice traction for customers." Lilith starts to open up one of the boxes before putting it on the shelf. Maybelle hums before looking at the crystal that showed itself.

"You brought the crystal along with you." Maybelle states as she grabs the crystal to show it to her.

"I did. I was planning to ask Grams about it, but i had to go to school." Lilith says as Maybelle examines the crystal.

"The power that radiates off of this is powerful. Maybe it's one of your ancestors." Maybelle said.

"It's interesting because I was led to it because of a premotion, or what I think it was. All the person said was I won't let him have it. And they kept saying it." Lilith paused as she spoke to Maybelle.

"I won't let him have it?" Maybelle wondered.

"Who is him?" She added.

"I don't know, but I need to ask grams." Lilith tells her.

"That would be the right thing to do." Maybelle comments before going to help Lilith with the inventory. 

Gram's House

Lilith walked in her house, putting the keys in the dish by the door. She shouted for her grams.

"Grams, Grams!" 

"I'm in the kitchen." She heard a reply.

Lilith got rid of her jacket that showed her hourglass figure. She wrapped the jacket around her arm as her purse was still on her shoulder. She headed towards the kitchen as her platforms clicked clack against the tile. Shelia stood by the stove as she cooked.

"Mm, it smells good, Grams." Lilith says as she greets her grams with a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm making smothered oxtails and some cabbage, there's some mac and cheese in the oven and I'm about to start the cornbread in a bit." Shelia stirred the oxtails that were in gravy, to keep it from burning.

"Can't wait!" Lilith started before she spoke again, "Grams, have you ever seen this crystal before?"

Shelia turned slightly to see the crystal. She very much knew that crystal.

"Where did you find that?" Grams asked her granddaughter.

"I was led to it." Lilith stated.

"You were led to it. Here, keep stirring this. I'll be right back." Shelia handed her the spoon before going to get one of their grimoires. Stepping on a stool as she grabbed it. Coming back over to her granddaughter.

"This crystal belongs to the most powerful Bennett witch since our ancestors. Emily Bennett. It was said she fell for one of the founding men and he found out what she was. Emily Bennett was burned at the stake. Her kids to carry on her legacy." Shelia explained as she stared at the picture of Emily Bennett back in the 1800s.

"But why would she lead me to this?" Lilith asked her grams.

"I don't know, baby. But she thinks you can help her." Grams looked at her powerful granddaughter. There had to be a reason a powerful witch needed the help of another powerful witch.

Lilith looked in deep thought before looking at the time.

"Grams, I'm going to be in the garden." Lilith said before walking away, leaving her grams staring at her back.

Lilith had changed her clothes and was in her garden as she checked on her babies. Getting ingredients for potions, she was going to be stocking up on. She hummed as she collected them, collecting some vervain as she went. She will have to tea with it later. She walked back inside to see her grams eating.

"Food done?" Lilith says with her basket.

"Yes, wash up before eating." Her grandmother says before she nodded going to do what her grams asked before lotioning up and putting on her body mist before putting on underwear and a big t-shirt before going downstairs. She ate the food her grams saved for her as she cleaned the kitchen before, she started on her potions and making vervain tea. As she thought about the crystal that sat near her.

A seance witch to witch. She went to her center table, drawing a circle around the stone along with salt before calling upon Emily. Candles light around her.

                                                      " Veni ad me Aemilia"

                                                       " Veni ad me Aemilia"               

                                                       "Veni ad me Aemilia"

She opened her eyes only to see the candlelight gone and a worldly being in front of her, in the last clothes she was in before her death. She wore a smile at the girl before speaking,

"It's so nice to finally meet you, Lilith."

"Emily." Lilith spoke.
