After returning home from the play, Lillith had parted from Wednesday to have a shower while Fester had walked with Wednesday to the boys' room telling him all about his time in the Bermuda Triangle. "There were sailors, pirates, and planes full of tours from Miami Beach... all lost in the Triangle," Fester told Wednesday as he was laying down in his bed. "Uncle Fester, will you take me there someday?" Wednesday asked his uncle. "It's a promise," Fester reassured his nephew. "Could we bring Lillith with us too?" Wednesday asked the man who smiled hearing that. "Of course we can," Fester replied before his smile fell slightly, "You really like her, don't you?"

Wednesday leaned his head back and smiled softly, a sight that was rare to see on the usually stoic boys face. "I'm falling in love with her, Uncle Fester. She sees the real me, she accepts my family and she's not afraid of us like everyone else in this town," Wednesday expressed to his uncle, he turned his head to him, "Do you think I'm too young for love?" Fester shook his head, "Oh nonsense, Wednesday. If you know it is love then it's never early." Wednesday nodded at his uncle's words, the man frowned deeply before sighing which caught the teenagers attention. "Is everything okay, Uncle Fester?" Wednesday asked him. "It's just..." Fester trailed off.

"Love is rare. I mean true passionate love like your parents and... I wouldn't want you to walk away from it," Fester expressed in a moment of vulnerability, "You love Lillith, then go for it. Don't let anything ─ and I mean anything ─ tear you two apart. Always listen to her, love her and treat her like royalty... and she will do the same for you." Wednesday took in his uncles words before they wished each other goodnight, the older man patted Wednesday's shoulder before leaving the room. Wednesday settled into the bed, he frowned slightly as he looked to the right side of the bed where Lillith had slept the night before.

As he went to close his eyes, a light knock on the door caught his full attention. "Enter," Wednesday allowed, he sat up and watched as Lillith walked into the room with a soft unsure smile on her face. "I was just wondering, uh, if I could possibly stay with you again? If not, that's okay," Lillith asked him as she closed the door behind her, she ran her left hand up and down her right arm anxiously awaiting the boys response. It was silent for a moment before Wednesday pulled the blanket down allowing her space to climb in next to him, she smiled softly before doing so.

Wednesday's mind trailed back to his uncles words along with his past thoughts, he was silent as Lillith pulled the blankets to cover her before snuggling into the comfort of Wednesday's bed. Her eyes were closed as she felt the bed dip and move, a brush of fingers against her arm caused her eyes to open and take quick notice of Wednesday leaning slightly over her. "Did you enjoy the performance?" Wednesday asked her softly, his voice raspy and deep with seduction. "...I did," Lillith whispered back breathlessly. "I saw you... the way your eyes focused on me, watching me with those ocean eyes," Wednesday said as he leaned down closer to her causing Lillith's breath to turn shallow.

"Wednesday..." Lillith breathed out as he moved closer to her. "Cara mia, may I kiss you?" Wednesday asked her, she swallowed quickly and gasped quietly as the question echoed like a chasm in her mind. "...Yes," Lillith barely managed to mutter that word before Wednesday lowered his lips to her own, it started off gentle and tasteful before Wednesday slipped one of his hands onto her waist, pulling her body flush underneath his own while his other arm held him up above her. Lillith kissed him back with equal passion, their innocent action soon flairing with desire and lust. Both hearts seemed to pound within a singular beat, their minds clear and focused on each other.

Wednesday deepened the kiss eliciting a moan from Lillith, the sound was a melody to Wednesday who tightened his grip on her hip. He soon pulled away knowing that if he didn't stop, he wouldn't hold back from her. Both seventeen-year-olds were panting deeply bringing oxygen back into their lungs. Wednesday opened his eyes first, admiring the way Lillith appeared so flushed and flustered underneath him. She opened her eyes and steadied her breathing, the look in Wednesday's eyes were full of love and adoration. And as he pulled her into his hold that night, she knew that she was his and no one else's. And that sounded like paradise to her.

"Lily, sweetie. It's time for bed now," Riley Samuel, Lillith's babysitter spoke with a soft smile, the two had been watching a show but it was late. "But it's still early," Lillith replied with a frown, she looked up at the time knowing her parents would be on their way home soon. Riley ran her fingers through the girls short hair, "You have school tomorrow and you know your mother said ten for bed." Lillith sighed knowing better than to argue further, she stood up and let Riley turn the show off. As Lillith took a step, a sharp pain seared through her chest followed by a familiar whisper. "I'm sorry, Lillith... we will not be there in person to see you grow..." Diane Whitley's voice echoed.

"Run, Riley!" Lillith screamed as a glow of red formed from the young girls chest, Riley's eyes went wide and she let blue form in her own gaze however, the red-ish orange glow within Lillith's eyes told Riley all she needed to know. "It's okay, Lils.... let it out," Riley whispered before a blast of power shot from Lillith's chest forming a blaze of fire to fill the home. Both Riley and Lillith's screams echoed through the home, Riley being killed by the hellfire while Lillith watched. She dropped to her knees as the fire burned her shoulder, she whimpered before pushing off of the ground and stumbling out of the home.

The neighbours wondered out of their homes, all watching as the dragon of Hellfire consumed the Whitley home into nothing back ash. Claire Reagan rushed towards the pre-teen and chanted a small spell, warm water fell over the fire and burns while Harriet Markus chanted a different spell allowing nature to grow some aloe vera, the plant immediately covering the burn the moment the water disappeared. "They're dead... they're all dead..." Lillith muttered like a mantra, the witches all shared a look before lowering their heads for their coven leaders deaths along with a young witch, Riley Samuel. "I'm all alone..." Lillith brokenly whimpered.

Lillith stormed into the motel room where her grandmother was staying, she slammed the door behind her and glared at the woman who stood up quickly noticing the red-ish orange glow of the teenagers eyes. "You've been lying to me!" Lillith accused. "Honey, have you not been taking your medication?" Abigail asked anxiously as the girl glared. "Fuck off with your medication crap! You've been drugging me, wiping my magic from me and lying about my parents and real family!!" Lillith snapped as red mist formed around her hands. "I took you in when that coven abandoned you!" Abigail snapped back at her, "They didn't want to deal with you. I gave you a normal life!"

"Normal!?" Lillith growled, "I've never had normal!? I've had nightmares, night terrors, moments where I felt like an imposter. I've never had friends nor have you ever treated me like family!" Abigail ignored her fear of the girl and stormed forward, she grabbed Lillith's chin in her hand tight. "It doesn't matter, Lillian! You will still do as you agreed or I will kill that boy you love so dearly. You know what I am capable of," Abigail threatened with a sneer, "Magic may have skipped me in the generations but I still learned plenty about potions." Lillith's power simmered out at that, she did know what Abigail Craven was capable of.

"Now, I will have no more attitude from you nor will I tolerate any rebellion," Abigail sneered as she shoved the girl back a few steps, "Finish the job, Lillian. Or the boy dies." Lillith lowered her head at the woman's words, she wouldn't even considered her family after learning the truth. While she could possibly kill the woman right then and there, she had never learned to control her Hellfire and she couldn't risk consuming the world. Nor could she challenge a woman who knew more about magic and potions, she wouldn't need to be alive to kill Wednesday just to make Lillith suffer. She had to go through with the plan and hope that the family catches on in time.

Lillith returned the Addams' home, she was sullen thinking about everything. She now understood who she truly was, she was a witch with powerful magic but she never had the chance to learn control due to her parents being killed. Unfortunately, being a witch didn't make you immortal. She had left the home after waking from the nightmare so by the time she had returned, the sun was barely peeking over the horizon. She headed back into Wednesday's room, removing the coat that belonged to Wednesday before crawling back into the bed beside the boy. He immediately pulled her into his arms and nuzzled his nose into her neck.

"Where were you?" Wednesday asked in a raspy whisper. "Bad dream so I took a walk," Lillith answered him. "You could've woken me," Wednesday assured her. "I know... it wasn't as bad as the others," Lillith replied, she closed her eyes as Wednesday lightly kissed her neck. "S'more sleep," Wednesday muttered sleepily making Lillith smile, however, it fell remembering Abigail's threat. She soon fell asleep again in Wednesday's arms, the two managed to get a few more hours of sleep until the sun was fairly above the horizon shining into the boys room waking him. Wednesday looked down at Lillith, he smiled fondly before placing gentle kisses over her face.

Lillith giggled at the feeling before blinking her eyes open, Wednesday brushing his nose against her neck before kissing her jaw. "Good morning, Cara Mia," Wednesday whispered to her. "Good morning, lux mea," Lillith whispered back, the Latin slipping from her mouth in a way that echoed pleasantly through Wednesday's mind. "'My light', huh?" Wednesday asked her. "Absolutely," Lillith replied as they turned to look at one another. "Does that mean you're all mine now?" Wednesday questioned her in a low tone. "Completely and eternally," Lillith answered him, the boys heart going into overdrive hearing that. Lillith Whitley was Wednesday Addams' girlfriend.

After slowly getting ready and sharing many kisses, Wednesday and Lillith finally made their way downstairs to join the family for breakfast. "Did you like the blood?" Pugsley questioned Fester. "I was so proud!" Fester answered him with said prideful smile. "Weren't we all," Morticia added with a smile, one that grew as Wednesday and Lillith walked in with their hands interlocked. Wednesday sat down in his usual seat, Lillith moved to sit next to him but the teenager was quick to grab her hips and pull the brunette into his lap. Lillith giggled at Wednesday's clingy nature, she adored it and the possessive hold had her almost purring in delight.

The PDA in front of the family didn't bother her as much as he initially thought it would but perhaps that was because of the constant affection seen between Morticia and Gomez no matter who was around. Gomez and Morticia shared a knowing and proud look, both were beyond happy that their eldest had found his One. "Wednesday, play with your food," Morticia told her son as he began eating, the boy began poking at his food causing it to squirm. Suddenly, they all were interrupted by a loud cry from Grandmama. "Mama?" Morticia questioned her. "Who put this in here?" Grandmama exclaimed holding up a skeleton arm.

Fester and Pugsley shared a look before snickering together, Lillith smiled their way while Wednesday shook his head fondly. "Rascals," Gomez playfully scolded them as Dr Pinder-Schloss entered the kitchen, her eyes momentarily glaring at Lillith who lowered her eyes. "Doctor, you were right. What an evening!" Gomez spoke up causing Fester to freeze before looking at Lillith noticing her own fearful look hidden from the others. "Fester fit right in," Morticia agreed with her husband. "The displacement is over," Gomez cheerfully informed her. "Well, isn't that nice?" Dr Pinder-Schloss commented with her faux smile.

"Does he really have to go?" Pugsley asked the woman. "Yes, he does," Dr Pinder-Schloss answered before turning her sharp eyes to Lillith, "And since he is leaving, that means that Lillith doesn't have to look out for him anymore. So she will have to return to ger aunt and uncles house." Wednesday's arms wrapped tighter around Lillith's waist, his eyes darkened in a manic way that was spotted by his father, the man knowing full well that the possessive side was making an appearance; the boy would kill for her. He would die for her. Either way, what bliss. Wednesday didn't want to let Lillith leave, he couldn't let her leave but what could he really do; both weren't eighteen for another few months so she had to leave.

"Well, if he insists upon leaving, we shall mark the occasion. Tish?" Gomez suggested mischievously. "We've planned a farewell party," Morticia explained to the slightly confused doctor. "We've invited the entire clan," Gomez added with a grin. "What a lovely gesture," Dr Pinder-Schloss replied to them. "We're a family again and we owe it all to you, Dr Pinder-Schloss," Morticia complimented. "Please, Greta," Greta corrected. "Greta," Morticia replied with a nod. "Fester, walk me out?" Greta suggested, she sent Lillith one last look before she and Fester left the kitchen. "And you two? Together finally?" Morticia asked the two teenagers. "Yes, Mother," Wednesday answered leaving the woman pleased.
