Lily's POV~
When Hope hangs up the phone, I break. My dad goes to call maintenance, but I knock him out. I take Hope's files, and my dad's notes and put them in her room. Sealing it shut with magic. By the time I'm done, the sobs have stopped and I'm just crying silent tears.
Getting up, I wipe my tears and go to the honor council meeting. "Why do we have six voting tiles? You, me, Rafael, Lily, school guardian. That's five." Kaleb asks and I answer. "Because it was for someone who erased themselves from everyone's minds but mine. Guess being a hybrid has its downsides... My vote, -" I take my voting tile and place it on the scale. "Alaric goes." and I walk out. Then I use my vampire abilities and speed away before Josie can catch me.
When I get to the old mill, I just start breaking things. And screaming. Eventually, I walk out of the mill and scream again, magic surges out and breaks the trees that are closet to me. I stayed out there until dawn. Walking back to the school. I see Alaric walking in with Landon.
"You!" I yell and the room shakes. "This. Is. All. Your. FUCKING. FAULT!" I yell louder and walk up to him. "Woah, Lily calm down, your eyes are turning gold?" Alaric says getting between Landon and me I. I shove him to the wall near us. "Back off Alaric! This is your fault too! If you never even brought Landon back with is when we picked up Rafael none of this would have happened! As for you. Let's see if my theory about ripping you to shreds is right!" I say the last part looking at Landon.
I go to him, and just beat him. Eventually, I stop, and just break his neck. I stand up and look at Alaric. "It's because of the two of you, that everyone forgot who she is. And it's because of the two of you, that I lost the love of my life." "How? Lily, what are you talking about? Who are you talking about?" Alaric asks me and I shake my head, letting the tears fall. "Hope. Mikaelson. Klaus and Haley's daughter. She jumped into the Malivore pit because she's a tribrid and the blood of a witch, wolf, and vampire created Malivore so she could destroy it. She died because you bright HIM to this school." I answer his question with so much hate, and sadness, and rage. Then I walk away.
--------------------------------------------------------------
It's been about a week and a half. The voting of the honor council was in. Alaric got voted out 1-5. I'm not even sure who voted what. And quite frankly I don't care. No one has seen me. I'm either hold up in my room, my secret room where the piano Hope have me is, or in her room, which I still have sealed.
Alaric, Josie, and Lizzie have all tried to talk to me. I don't speak to Alaric but I will speak to the twins. They did nothing wrong so I'm not going to punish them for something they didn't do. But I still keep my walls high around them. Summer break started, everyone is leaving to go home or on vacation in a few days. Lizzie is going to see mom in Europe. I was thinking about going but I haven't decided yet.
I just want to get away from it all. So I do the only thing I can think of. I go visit the psycho in the prison world.
When I get to the bar, I just walk out immediately. I hate that song that's playing. When I do, I see Kai chilling on a bench. I roll my eyes and walk the other way, but he here's me. "Oh woah, where you going? No chit chat today Lillian?" he says getting up and walking next to me at the same pace. "Just shut it, Kai, I came here to get away from the real world not talk the psychopath that wants to kill me." I say and try walking faster, but I forgot he's a vampire too. So he can match that pace too.
"Oooo and what, pray tell, are you getting away from? By the looks of you, you haven't slept in what a week? Your eyes are all puffy which means you've been crying all week. Oh! Did someone have their heartbroken by the Mikaelson girl?" He says smiling then making a fake pouting face at the end before laughing. "GOD, WILL YOU JUST SHUT IT!" I stop and yell at him. When I do, magic shoots out of me and beaches and trees near us break.
He laughs, "Ohahaho, looks like someone's magic is getting stronger. So tell me, little witch, what did the girl do exactly?" I start walking away again and ask "How do you even remember talking about her? The only one who should be able to remember her is because she jumped in this stupid pit called Malivore and it wipes all memory of you from the collective conscience."
"Probably because I'm trapped in a prison world and not the actual world when that happened. So she didn't just break up with you. She died. And now you're spiraling not sure what to do and all you can think about is how much it hurts." he says skipping circles around making me stop walking and cross my arms, glaring. He stops skipping in front of me and laughs, bending down to my height. "You're part vampire little Lillian, so shut it off."
I look at him with a questioning face. "What?" "Your humanity. Shut them off. That little switch in your brain, that tug of emotions you have going on up there. Turn it off. You'll feel better, we'll you'll feel nothing. That's kind of the point. It was the best thing I did." I just shake my head and start walking again. If he wasn't here this would have been a really nice walk. "You're a psychopath, so I'm not taking your advice."
"Why not? You wouldn't be the first one in your family to do it. If I remember correctly, Elena shut it off. Damon and Stefan certainly did over the years they've been alive." I shake my head. "That's it. Bye Kai. Way to ruin a peaceful walk." and I leave the prison world.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Alaric's POV~
"Caroline, I know that what you're doing is super important but Lily is spiraling. Far worse than Lizzie has ever been." I say into the phone walking around my office. "Ric, are you sure you can't handle it? I've got another lead I'm looking into." "Caroline, she won't even look at me. The last time she was even in the same room as me was when she beat the crap out of Landon and then killed him. And all she said to me was it was Landon and I's fault for Hope throwing herself into the pit?" I say rubbing my face and pouring myself a glass of bourbon.
"Who is she? Hope Mikaelson?" "I don't know. But she must have been really important for Lily to act out like this. She didn't even react this way when the necromancer brought back, Stefan, and she had to siphon away the magic keeping him here. I mean she acted out, but not to this extent. She's completely sealed herself off from everyone. Caroline, she needs her mom." I say and take a drink. It's been a long two weeks. I hear Caroline sigh on the other end of the phone. "I'll be there tonight." and she hangs up.
"Daddy?" Lizzie walks in. I sigh, "Yes sweety" "Is Lily going to be okay? She's spiraling." she asks and sits down. I just shake my head. "To be honest Lizzie I don't know. Your sister, she says we lost someone very important to us the night Malivore was destroyed. I guess that person was the most important to her. When you lose the person you love the most, there's no truly getting over that. We just have to help her through it." I say sadly and Lizzie nods. She gets up and walks out to god knows where.
Lily's POV~
I was sitting in my room reading. The only light was the light coming from the stained glass butterfly nightlight I have next to my bed, which gives an orange hue to the room. The book was on bringing back locked away memories, so we're the other 30 I have littered across my bed. My eyes started getting strained from staring at the pages for hours so I put on my silver metal-framed glasses.
When I'm about to start reading again, my door opens. Looking at it, I jump up and race to the person who opened it. "Mom!" I yell as I hug her tight. She hugs me back with the same force. "Hey, my little star." she replies and kisses the top of my head.
"Not that I'm not happy you're back, but why are you back?" I ask as we sit on my bed. She picks up the book I was reading and looks at it. "Bringing back locked away memories?" She asks looking at me and I just look away, my eyes landing on a picture of Hope and I the night we all played monopoly. Josie took it without us knowing, we were both staring at each other laughing. My mom followed my gaze and picked up the photo.
"Who's this?" She asks looking at it, she smiles, so do I, before I look down and tears fall. "That's uh, that's Hope Mikaelson." I say and my mom looks up at me, she reaches over and gently wipes away a tear, but it gets replaced just as quickly as it was wiped away. "Your dad told me about her-" I interrupt her right away, shaking my head "Alaric isn't my father. It's his fault that Landon was brought back after we voted him out. It's his fault he was here in the first place. If that didn't happen Hope would still be here." I say and I start to cry more.
My mom just moves all of the books away and holds me. "Sweetheart, I know what it's like to lose a boyfriend, or in your case a girlfriend. And I know it sucks b-" I just shake my head. "Hope wasn't just my girlfriend mom. Ever since she came to this school when we were seven we've been best friends. Even if she tried to push me away at first." I say the last part with a little laugh, making my mom laugh too. "You always were stubborn. But you had good intentions."
"I don't know what to do mommy. I don't know how to get her back, I don't know if we can get her back."Â I say and start crying more and my mom just starts rubbing my back. "God it hurts so bad mom. It hurts so bad that I can't breathe. I just want it to stop. I want everything to stop!" I scream, then I remember what Kai told me.
I hug my mom and put a hand on the back of her head. "I'm sorry. But if I don't do this you'll try and stop me." "What do you mean sto-" before she can finish her question I snap her neck and lay her on my bed. She'll wake up in about half an hour. I stand up and close my eyes. "like flipping a switch" I say quietly. And then it works. When I open my eyes, I don't feel anything. So wipe my tears away and I smile.
I grab my suitcase from the closet and pack it with clothes, shoes, and essentials. I also pack a backpack full of books and things for spells I need. Grabbing my car keys, I grab everything and walk out of my room to the entrance of the school.
"Hey, Lily? Where's mom? Dad said she was with you." Josie asks as she and Lizzie walk up to me. "I killed her." I say walking last them. "What!" They both yell and follow me. I laugh, "Relax, I just snapped her neck. She should be up in about 15 minutes." "Why the hell would you do that to our mom Lily!" Lizzie yells as I walk to my car and start putting my things in the trunk. "And where are you going?" Josie asks and they both cross their arms.
Sitting the trunk I answer them. "I killed her because she would have tried to stop me-" before I can finish Lizzie butts in again, "Stop you from doing what?" I just smile, "Stop me from flipping the switch. Now, I'm leaving. I'll call once I get a phone, and tracking spells won't work so don't try it." I say and get in the car. Before they can say anything I drive away.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Third Person POV~
After Lily drives away the twins go to her room and find Caroline stirring awake. "Mom? Mom are you okay?" Josie asks walking over to her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Lily?" Caroline asks looking around. She needs to have a talk with her about snapping her neck. "She drove away with a suitcase and a backpack in her trunk of the car Damon Salvatore gave her for our birthday." Josie dais and Lizzie finishes her sentence "She said she killed you because you'd try and stop from 'flipping the switch.' what is that?"
This made Caroline jump up and vampire speed to Alaric. "Ric! Lily turned off her humanity! We have to find her before she does something she'll regret." Caroline yelled when she got to his office. "She what? How the hell did she know she could do that? Where did she go?" Alaric asks standing up, Caroline shakes her head. "I don't know. I don't know how she knew she could do that or where she went, she broke my neck because she knew I'd try and stop her and the girls said she left in the car Damon gave her for her birthday. Damn it!" Caroline yelled getting upset.
"Caroline, Caroline calm down. Okay, we can call Matt he can trace her license plate." Alaric says grabbing Caroline's shoulders. "No Ric it's not okay! You know what happens when someone turns off their humanity. People don-" "Lily shut off her humanity?" Lizzie asks as she and Josie stand at the door. "That's a thing?" Josie asks.
--------------------------------------------------------------
It's been two weeks. Caroline and Lizzie went to Europe, Josie stayed with Alaric, and Lily can't be found. "I know Caroline, I thought we would have found her by now but she ditched her car." "Well yeah Ric, she turned off her humanity. She's not stupid. Do you have any leads on where she is?" Caroline asked over the phone. "I'm still looking. But I'm sure we'll find something." "Okay, well I have an idea on where she might be so I'll check it out in two days with Lizzie. She doesn't have any doctors to see on the weekends." with that, Caroline hangs up.
Lily's POV~
"Look, I don't want to hurt you. But if you don't give me what I want. I will. So last time. Where do I find, Kol Mikaelson?" I say to the vampire I have tied up with vervain ropes, I used gloves. "I'm not giving you shit witch." He says and I just laugh dryly. "Oh, pal. When I'm through with you, you'll wish your answer was different."
"Do whatever you want to me I still won't talk." he says and spits on my face. I get up and clean off my face. "Man your hygiene is low. But anyway... It's not you I'm going to do things to. See when I took you, I saw the pictures in your house.-" I pause and drag out a woman I have tied to a chair as well. This makes the man start flailing around, resulting in him being burned by the ropes. "Your wife is human is she not? Which means if I kill her she won't come back to life like you will."
I grab a few knives from the table in the empty restaurant we're in. I stab one into the woman's leg making her scream. "Ben! Don't tell her anything!" the woman yells to the vampire, who's name is apparently Ben. "Oh, no Ben. Please, don't say anything. I'll just do this-" I say and stab her in the other leg making her scream again. He still doesn't say anything. So I take another knife and hold it to be throat, drawing a little blood. "Last chance Ben. Either you spill your information or I spill her blood all over the floor." I say staring at him blankly.
"Okay! Okay. Last I heard of him, he and his wife are living in California, Beverly Hills, address is 1127 Condo M. Now, please, let us go." He says with a pleading face. "Thanks so much for the information, Ben." I say and then slit the woman's throat. "NOOOO! YOU BITCH! IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" He screams and I just laugh before plunging my hand into his chest. "Can't kill someone if you're already dead." I say and pull his heart out.
Dropping it, I look around the room. Walking past the 60 bodies that lay on the ground, I walk to the bar and clean my hands off. Right now I'm on the outskirts of Virginia. Walking out of the building, I hotwire one of the cars in the parking lot. Ditching my car before anyone could find me. But before I drive away, I do a little spell that blows up the restaurant I was in. Burned building means no fingerprints.
After driving for a few days, I make it to California. Pulling into a hotel, I walk in, compel myself a room and set my things down. "Damn, I chose a nice room," I say walking to the balcony, it overlooks the beach. After showering, I changed into white ripped skinny jeans, a red crop top, a black leather jacket, and black leather boots. Adding a touch of red lipstick, I leave my hair in its natural curly state and walk out of my room, grabbing a metal briefcase on the way out. Driving to the nearest mall, I get a phone, a computer, and a computer bag.
Ordering myself an Uber, I leave my current car keys at a table in Starbucks, getting in the Uber I have it take me to a car dealership. Getting there I smile. I've always wanted this car.
"Hi there, how can I help you?" A car salesman asks walking up to me. I smile at him "Hi. I was wanting one of these bad boys in black, with a hint of blue. And I'm paying in cash." I say and hand him the metal briefcase I stole from one of the vampires I killed on the way here. The salesman smiles "right this way ma'am we have that one in stock, you're very lucky, there's only one left."
After signing the papers I look the man in the eyes. "You won't put this paperwork in until July, but your books will say the car has been bought and paid for. You will forget that you have ever met and when people ask you will say it's all a little fuzzy. Do I make myself clear?" he nods his head. "Good. Have a lovely day sir" I say smiling and he smiles back and shakes my hand. "Pleasure doing business with you. Enjoy your car." "Oh I will," I say and walk out to my new car and drive off.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After relaxing at the beach for a day, and getting a really cool tattoo, I get in my car and drive to the address the last vampire gave me.
Knocking on the door, the person I wanted to see answers. "Hey, can I help you?" she asks and I smile. "Actually you can." I say and knock her out and catch her before she falls. "Davina? Who's at the door love?" Kol asks walking into view. "What the hell did you do to my wife!" he yells and tries to get to me, but smirk and say the magic words. "Imvisique" and I vanish from his sight. "Gemini witch! I thought you were all dead!" he screams and I just walk away.
Putting an unconscious Davina into the passenger seat, I put a seatbelt on her then get in myself. Then I start our very long drive.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Davina wakes up when we're about halfway there. She tries to do some spell but I stop her. "Oh, I wouldn't do that. See, I'm driving and if you try to do something to me we both die. And we're cloaked so if you think Kol is going to find you. Eh, he's not." I say and I laugh.
"Where the hell are we going? Why did you take me?!" The yells whilst glaring at me. "Oh my god don't yell. We're going to be in this car for six more hours so the more you yell the more aggravating the drive will be for both of us. And you can relax I have no intention of hurting you." She just crosses her arms and sits back, she knows I'm right. Then she gets a good look at my face. "I know you. Lily? Is it?" I just nod my head. "Yeah, you do. That's one of the reasons I took you. I will explain everything when we get there for now just relax. Sleep or listen to music or something." I say handing her the aux chord.
"How do I know you? You're what 17? So I didn't go to school with you. In fact I only really remember from face time but we aren't family so why would I face time you I barely know you." I roll my eyes. Great, she's asking questions. Seeing that she isn't going to shut up, I do a spell and put her to sleep. Then I press on the gas pedal.
--------------------------------------------------------------
When we get there, I wake her up. "Get out let's go." I say and drag her out of the car and the entrance. "This is the Mikaelson house in New Orleans." she says looking around. "Very perceptive. Now let's go in." I go to walk and she doesn't follow me. "Yeah, good luck with that. Freya has to lower the spell before we go in or we're dead."
I just laugh. "If you think I'm an idiot, you're wrong. Watch and learn." I say and siphon the gate, taking down the barrier spell then walk in. "I'm a siphoner. So there is no spell." She looks shocked so I speed over to her, pick her up and carry her inside. "What the hell! You're a vampire?!" "Yes and no. I'm a vampire witch hybrid now, where is Freya Mikaelson." I say and then turn quickly caring an arrow that was aimed at my head. "Found her." I say and break the arrow. "Now, down to business."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks later... Nothing. No way of bringing back lost memories. Or Hope. It took a little convincing, but after showing them photos of Hope with them, the painting Klaus did at Freya's wedding with Hope in it, and Hope's bedroom, the agreed to help. After all, family is always and forever. I don't think they trust me but that's mainly because I won't tell them anything about myself. They know my first name and that I'm a hybrid. That's it.
I'm walking back to the Mikaelson home from Russo's when I stop. "Hello mom," I say and turn around. "Twice in one month. Now that's rare. Lately, it's been hard to see you twice in one year." This makes her look down for a second. "Lily, I know you're hurting but turning off your humanity isn't the right answer-" "Actually I'm not hurting. See that's the point of shutting it off. To not feel the hurt and the pain of everything fucked up in my life. So far it's been working great." I repute and start walking away.
"Oh yeah? What about that restaurant full of people you killed? When you turn it on you're going to regret that for the rest of your life Lily." she says following me. "Then maybe I'll just keep it on forever. It's a lot better to feel nothing than to feel like I'm going to die because I didn't just lose my girlfriend, I lost the one person who knew everything about me. And then right before that, I lost my father. Again! So if you're here as an intervention then give it a rest because it's not going to work." I say and then use a spell to disappear.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Two months later-
Nothing. We didn't find anything. So I gave up hope. I decided to spend the summer having fun instead. So I went to the Bahamas. Here it's just sunny and windy with good music and booze. I've been here for about a month and no one has found me. Which is what I wanted. To be alone.
There's a new story on the news spreading around here though. A serial killer is running loose. They're calling him The Ripper of The Sand. Quite catchy to be honest. Except for the 'him' part. See I figured if people school already call me baby ripper behind my back, which I know because they forget I can hear them. Why not be what they already think I am? A ripper. Of course, I don't drink the blood of the people I kill, I don't need too and I don't like the taste. But I do kill them the way my dad did during his ripper times. It's actually the most fun I've had since I turned off my humanity.
Of course, how I choose who I'm killing is all me. If they're a dick, they die. If they're nice, I let them be. And like my father, I always make sure to write their names down in a little booklet I keep with the rest of my stuff in the condo I've been staying at.
Currently, though, I wasn't in the killing mood today. So I'm just relaxing in a black bikini and gold ray band sunglasses on the beach reading a book, when I get a call. Answering it, it's a facetime call. "What is it, dear sister." I say looking at Josie on the screen. "So I see you're still in the Bahamas. I agreed not to tell mom and dad where you were if you stopped killing people Lily. You're breaking your end of the deal." She says disappointedly.
I make a fake pouting face and then laugh. "Jo-Jo, the sooner you realize that everyone lies, the better it will be. And besides, I haven't killed anyone in two days. That a new record for this month." I say taking a sip of the wine I have. "Are you drinking?"
"Are you calling for a certain reason Jo? Or are you just trying to ruin my peaceful day and make me want to break my no-kill streak because I wasn't planning on killing anyone today and now I kind of am." I say taking off my sunglasses and raising an eyebrow. Josie sighs. "I was wondering if you are coming back to school." I roll my eyes. "Of course I'm coming back, I have no humanity, it doesn't make me an idiot. An education is a must these days dear sister you know that." I say taking another sip of wine.
Josie scoffs, "Yeah I'd say turning off your humanity does make you an idiot." "Remind me why I gave you my phone number again? Wait, got to go, bye now Jo-Jo have fun doing whatever it is you do nowadays. See you in a month." and I hang up.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I decided that killing was getting boring. So I haven't killed people in about two weeks. What I did do though, was go clubbing. I danced with a lot of good looking guys, and super hot girls. Occasionally taking a few back to my condo. Tonight felt like one of those nights. That was until an unexpected visitor showed up.
I had a beautiful redhead pinned to the wall of the club we were in. I was kissing from her chin down her neck, making her moan in delight when a familiar voice spoke from behind me. "Well, aren't you having fun." Pulling away, I groan. Looking into the read-heads eyes I say "Go have fun with someone else and forget you met me." and she does just that. Turning to the voice I cross my arms and raise an eyebrow. "Aunt Bonnie. What a pleasure it is to see you here. Not." I say and start walking away but someone steps in front of me.
"Can't let you leave munchkin. It's time for an intervention." I just laugh. "Uncle Damon. Since when did you become a buzz kill? I mean I knew Aunt Bonnie was but never knew you to be one." Uncle Damon grabs my arms pinning me down. "Now Bonnie." Aunt Bonnie injects something into my neck, and I start seeing black. "Sorry little star" is the last thing I hear them say.
--------------------------------------------------------------
When I wake up, we're in my car, which I left in Florida. Which means we're back in the states. I try to move my hands but they're cuffed and my magic isn't working. My vampire powers aren't working either. "Anti-magic cuffs. Your powers won't work and we injected you with vervain so your vampire abilities aren't working either. Nice car though." Aunt Bonnie says from the driver's seat next to me.
"Where are we? And where's Uncle Damon?" I ask looking out the window. "We are about to enter Mystic Falls. And Damon took the other car." Aunt Bonnie answers.
Once we get to the school, they knock me out again. Waking up, I'm in some cell that's made to look like a bedroom with windows and a bathroom. There are bars on all the windows and the door. The window to the door opens. "Your magic won't work in here. They did some weird anti-magic thing to the room." getting up I just tilt my head and look at the person speaking to me.
"Wow, Jo, way to welcome a sister home. Let's just snitch about where I am. Oh, wait. I forgot. You're the codependent sibling. The one who always takes care of everyone else to hide the fact that you're too scared to be who you really are. Before it was 'Lizzie and Lily need help I'll focus on them and stay in the shadows' then it's 'Oh I need to help dad deal with being voted out as headmaster and Landon the dreamy Phoenix needs me too' and now we're back to 'Lily needs an intervention so I'll tell them that she's the ripper of the Bahamas and we can get her to turn her humanity back on.' Well, guess what! I'm not flipping the switch back on! So give it a rest!" I yell at her, making her eyes go wide and she shakes her head.
"The person in front of me isn't my sister. Not without your humanity." Josie says with tears in her eyes. I laugh dryly. "Well then. I guess your sister is dead then. Just like Lizzie is going to be when we all turn 22. Because you might act all codependent now. But deep down you and I both know what you are... You're the strong twin. The one who secretly wants to always win but doesn't. Eventually, all those feelings about being better and winning are going to build up and pop. And when that happens you'll kill your own twin." I pause when I see Josie's face. I laugh and walk away. "Tell Landon I said hi. Because if I do get my humanity back, the first thing I'm going to do is rip his head off his shoulders."
"Without the things that make you you, made you into a monster." Josie comments with hatred. "Better a monster than a mouse." I say in the same tone. I see a tear fall from her face, but she wipes it away quickly and walks away.
(A/N)- Ooooooo what do you guys think of this chapter?!?!?! Tbh I had a tad bit of trouble writing it because I knew how I wanted it to go but had a bit of trouble putting it into words.
Do you like no humanity Lily or do you hate her?
Lastly, what do you think her tattoo is?
As per the usual, comment typos you see and I'll fix them right away.
Enjoy :)Â Â -ð
