Chapter 2: Chapter 1- Who the hell is that guy?

Lily's POV~

When we're young, we're taught the distinction between a hero and a villain. Good and evil. A savior and a lost cause. But what if the only difference between them is who's telling the story? My father was the hero in many stories, but he was also the villain in others. My name is Lillian Forbes-Salvatore. And behind these gates is a school for people like me. Witches, werewolves, vampires and everything in between. Tonight during the full moon, we open the gates for someone new. What happens after, that's where the fun begins.

✨✨✨

Pulling up to the church, the three of us get out. Hope and I are still in our uniforms from school, I'm in black skinny jeans, red heels, a white V-neck and a red blazer. I have to say, I really like this outfit. Getting out of my mind, I focus on why we're here.

Walking up to the church, Hope stops. "Landon?" "Hope?" "You two know each other?" Dad asks walking up. "We will have time for that later," I say and then we hear a scream from inside.

"Lily, doors," Dad says and I do a spell to break the chains that locked the doors. "Dissera portus"

Walking in, the priest seems to think that there's a demon in the guy we came here for. When really he's in transition. Hope shuts up the guy, and I put them all to sleep. "silencio" "ad sonum"

Chaining him up so when he turns he can get away I look to my dad. "Um, I don't think I should be in here for this, don't really want to take a chance on being bitten." Hope nods her head, "Go wait outside, we got this. And take Landon with you"

I turn around and sure enough, human guy is in here. "Hey, dude you can't be in here." I try to grab him with normal strength, "Wait what's happening to Rafael?"

"Lily get him out of here!" Dad yells, and then Rafael shifts completely. Landon freaks out and I get pushed near the werewolf, getting nipped on my arm. "Ahh! You idiot!" I yell and then vamp speed to the car to get away from the wolf.

Something strange about me, since both my parents, were vampires, and my sisters' siphoner magic was transferred to me, I'm like a heretic, I have vampire powers, and siphoner witch powers, I just don't get burned in the sun or have to drink blood, which I'm thankful for because, gross.

When Rafael is changed back, Hope comes out of the church while my dad gives him clothes to put on. The bite isn't that bad yet thankfully, but it still hurts. Grabbing a cup, Hope pulls out my dad's knife and cuts her hand. Putting the blood in the cup, she hands it to me. Taking it, I drink it, trying to ignore the taste, and I start to heal, then I feel like nothing happened. "Thank you," I say smiling at her. "Anytime" she answers and gets in the back seat while the boys walk out of the church.

I put in my headphones and ignore the jackass that bit me.

✨✨✨

When we get to school, I hug my sisters, and they introduce themselves. "Welcome to the Salvatore School, we're your tour guides" "I'm Josie" "I'm Lizzie. Sisters." "Twins" Josie smiles and Lizzie finishes "Fraternal obvs. And this is out sister Lily, who I guess you've met." Lizzie says side hugging me, I give them a fake smile.

"Rafael why don't you go with the girls, have them show you around. Lily go with them, then come to my office in a few minutes." Nodding my head we walk away, not before my sister sarcastically say "Morning Hope" Hope rolls her eyes but responds, "Morning girls" "more like despair, " Lizzie says and Josie laughs. "I heard that," Hope says rolling eyes. "No you didn't" "Didn't have to" I just roll my eyes. Why can't they just get along? "Girls play nice," Dad says causing all three of us to say "Love you, dad."

"Everybody gets along with everybody here, for the most part," Josie says and then I interrupt making my position with Rafael clear, "Except you and I. I don't like you, so stay the hell away from me or I'll break your neck." and then I smile. "You don't know me how do you already hate me?" he asks somewhat scared of my threat. "Because you bit me. And I could have died." With that, I went to Dad's office.

Walking in, I hear dad say "But if we take him in we need to make sure that he is not a threat." "Well, he bit me. So you know, kind of a threat. Though not anymore, I scared the shit out of him threatening to break his neck." I say leaning against the door with my arms crossed. Dad glares at me and I shrug.

"His girlfriend, Cassie. Last month. He was driving, there was a storm, he took a turn to fast. Then he started acting out. At first, I thought it was just grief, and then I don't know drugs, and then he threw a 200-pound lawnmower 50 feet across the yard." Landon explained who Rafael killed. "That's common for a newly triggered werewolf." I say looking at him.  "It's normal... Hope" dad said, and Hope walked over to Landon. "Everything's gonna be fine." she looked to me and nodded.

Walking up to Landon, I look him in the eyes, "Forget everything you saw in the past two days. All you know is that Rafael got adopted by a nice family and he's gonna be well taken care of." Landon steps back. "Are you two out of your minds?! How could I forget any of this!" "Lily, did you do it right?" Hope asks breaking out and MG comes in. "Yeah, of course, I did it right it's easiest vampire trick there is!"

"You're a vampire! I thought you were a witch!" Landon yells and MG tries to erase his memory too. "Dude knock it off!" Landing yells pushing him away. "I'm both. See it's not just me, he probably has vervain or something" I say pointing to Landon.

Landon tries to walk out but I vamp speed to the door. "Bad idea" and I knock him out.

✨✨✨

After showering and changing into work out clothing, I head to the dock where my adoptive dad and Hope usually train.

"You know you can just be my headmaster. All this other stuff isn't in the job description" I hear Hope say as I walk to where she and Dad are training. "Attempt to make an actual friend here and we can reevaluate this relationship" Taking that as the perfect time to announce my presence I say "Well what am I chopped liver?"

"Exactly, see Dr. Saltzman, I'm friends with Lily." Hope says as I go stand next to her. "Friendly. She doesn't count, she's a loner too. Make more friends Hope." Dad says causing both of us to roll our eyes.

"Dad?! Clean up on aisle L" Josie says walking and standing near a tree. "Excuse me girls" and then they both leave, leaving Hope and me alone. "Spar?" I ask putting on gloves and raising my fists. Hope smirks and she swings, making me duck.

After a few minutes of throwing punches and kicks, I flip Hope to the ground and pin her there, straddling her. "Yield." I say with an award-winning smile. She just smirks and flips us. "No, I think I'm good, why don't you yield?" She says sarcastically. Not wanting to lose, I headbutt her, immediately regretting it because we both fall back. I grab my forehead that is now bleeding, and she grabs her nose, which is also bleeding.

"Uuuggghhh remind me to never do that again," I say sitting up into a sitting position to see Hope nodding her head. "Yep" Just then I thought of something and smirked while raising my eyebrows. "Does this mean I won? Again?" Hope rolled her eyes and playfully shoved me into the lake. "HOPE!" I yell and the fall in.

Coming back to the surface I see her laughing. "Oh, it's on. COME HERE!" I say and vamp speed to her. "No! No no-no-no. Lily, come on I'm sorry" I just laugh and pick her up. "Nope. Payback time." and then I throw her in the water while she screamed. "LILY!"

When she came back to the surface I smiled innocently. "Lillian Estrella Forbes-Salvatore. I am going to kill you." Hope says with a playful glare, getting out of the water, making my smile grow into one of mischief. "You'll have to catch me first Hope Andrea Mikaelson." and then I vamp speed away and to my room, which is next to my sister's room.

✨✨✨

I couldn't sleep. I was trying, but I kept thinking about my dad. My real one. Alaric may have adopted me, and I call him dad, but he could never truly be my dad. When I try not to think about things like that, I use my vampire hearing to listen to random conversations. This person is having boy troubles, this guy failed his chemistry test, there's a party at the old mill... Going from conversation to conversation I hear Hope's voice, talking the human in the cellar. "I can be dangerous to people. It's best if I kept my distance" "For who?" Landon asks, and I guess that was the end of the conversation.

Getting out of bed, I walk to Hope's room. Not bothering to knock, I just walk in to see her drawing in bed. She doesn't bother looking up, she knows it's me. Closing her door I go sit next to her in her bed.

Looking at the drawing, I see it's a beautiful lion. "That's gorgeous" hearing this, she smiles softly. "I uh, I heard what you said to that Landon guy. About how you could be dangerous to people and it's best if you kept your distance." I start and pause, seeing her look at me questioningly "Its something I do when I'm trying not to think about stuff. Listen to random conversations. It's nice to hear that other people are having normal issues. Not passing a chem test, the boy they like doesn't notice them." I continue and she nods.

"Well, what I said to Landon was true. I mean, most of my family is dead because of me." Hope said looking back to the drawing. "I remember when we were first starting to become friends when, you first got here, you tried to push me away too." This made Hope laugh and look at me, "yeah I did. But you were stubborn and wouldn't let me push you away." I laughed too. "Us hybrids have to stick together, having two loners is better than one."

After falling into silence again, I can tell that drawing isn't helping whatever Hope is feeling, so I stand, grab some of her work out clothing and hand them to her, taking the drawing and her pencil away. "Whatever it is you're feeling restless about, drawing isn't going to help. Go for a run, clear your head. I'll see you later." and then I leave.

✨✨✨

It's been two days, Landon ran and stole a knife and we have our stupid game with mystic falls high. Walking up to my sisters, I hear the witch bitch talking to them. "Already gone. Hot tip: next time you try to burn your ex's hair off, make sure she can't rock a lob." When Penelope turns around, she met with my fist hitting her nose, not hard enough to break it, but hard enough to daze her. "Oops, Sorry Penelope, I was a catching mosquito in my hand, and you just so happened to walk into my closed fist after missing it." I smile and walk to my sisters as the evil one walks away.

"Morning. Big game today-" "Bounce MG. If you hurry, you can still catch the Blair Witch and tongue chum her again" Lizzie says and I raise my eyebrows at this new information. "Did she who must not be named just fat shame me?" Lizzie asked looking at us. "See, I knew there was a good reason to hit her." I say mentally high fiving myself. "I thought you said it was an accident" Josie looked at me. I smile, "Yeah. That's what I said. Doesn't make it true." Lizzie smirks "Why little Lillian, you have just made my day better" and she links her arm with mine as we smile.

"Hey, girls listen-" Dad goes to say and Josie interrupts him, "Don't do it." "Do what?" "Don't say whatever it is that you're about to say, because you have 'dad face'" Josie says only for me to continue with a pout "and where ever 'dad face' goes, 'daughter disappointment' always follows."

This makes him sigh. "I'm sorry; I can't make the game today." this makes the three of us have disappointment all over our faces. "But you're the coach," Josie says and Lizzie adds "And I'm QB 1 this year!" "Yeah and I'm finally the starting kicker, now that Jason graduated" I throw in. I'm good at sports and dad only coaches football so he's never seen me play, he always had headmaster things to do when I had my games.

"I hate it as much as you do but I have to find Landon Kirby," Dad said this and Josie got an idea, "Okay so let's cancel. I mean it's a joke anyway we can't use our powers so we suck." "Exactly, which is a normal thing for troubled rich kids to do. This annual event makes the locals see you for what they think you are. And keeps them from asking too many questions." "But dad they mock us. Especially Lizzie and I." I say trying to plead with him to cancel the stupid game. "Because they're insecure small-town kids with small-town minds. Look just let it be girls. I have to go, I love you all, see you when we get back." The last part of his sentence confused us. "Wait who's we?!" Lizzie yelled, but he didn't answer.

"Dad loves Hope more than us." "Lizzie, you're being melodramatic." I say rolling my eyes. "Of course you would defend her she's your girlfriend." Lizzie shot at me. "Lizzie it's one game, and Hope isn't Lily's girlfriend" Josie helps me out. "First a game then our weddings." This is why I have my own room. Then Lizzie continues, "This game is an opportunity, we can show dad how much we care by protecting our secret. Today we will lose even more epically than we normally do" this causes me to laugh. "Win by losing, that's the spirit" Josie smiles at us.

"There is still one person we have to recruit to our island of misfit toys. Tall, hot, and handsome." "Rafael?" Josie and I ask at the same time. "I am totally thinking tight end," Lizzie says and then we hear Satan's voice. "I just saw him. Yeah sorry, Raf's not gonna be at the game. He hopped the Hope train out of town. Just like your dad."

✨✨✨

"Good luck out there," Lizzie says to Dana, and Dana says "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." Scoffing I reply back "I'm pretty sure I've seen that in the dentist office" "Well my dad's a dentist but he still made time to be here. I guess I'm lucky that way huh? Especially seeing as he's my biological dad, and he's not dead" The last part Dana shot was at me and she made a pouting face before running off. I didn't move, Lizzie had to shake me "Lil, you okay?" she looked at me concerned. "Yeah, I'm fine." I give her a fake smile.

Kicking the ball off, a human named Kyle catches it and passes it to Dana, MG 'trips' over her and she scores. "Nice hands Dana," Lizzie says as Dana walks to her. "I know I'm supposed to do this in the endzone but-" and Dana slams the ball at Lizzie's feet. "That went well all things considered." I just look at Josie with a dead expression. "One word. One word and I can burn her perky little boobs to ash!" Lizzie says and I walk away.

The next play, Lizzie threw the ball right before Dana tackled her and MG caught it. He ran somewhat slowly to the endzone and scored. I smiled. The next play Josie slapped the ball away acting like she didn't care, I just sighed. "Your sister sucks at football, you should've absorbed her in the womb." Dana shot at us. "You know what, we have been playing this game for years and for years you have tormented my sister and I. Is it because we're prettier than you?" Lizzie fired. "Honestly I just get a rise from tormenting all the crazies. Speaking of which, it's been a while since you've been to my mom's pharmacy. Maybe you're both feeling a little delusional because you're off your meds." Dana replied walking away. Lizzie turned to me "You're off your meds?" I just shake my head, "I'm not the only one. Let's not talk about it." and then I walk away.

"New plan. Let's burn these bitches to the ground." Lizzie says walking up. "Lizzie no." "Josie yes" I reply. "I'm with you guys, 100%," Kaleb says and MG says "You can count on my steel" "Gross MG" putting our hands together, I put mine in the middle of the pile, Lizzie has her hand at the bottom, and after a minute, Josie has hers on the top. Siphoning the magic from everyone, we make the pile of hands glow red. "3,2,1, STALLIONS" Everyone yells and we break.

When Josie passes Lizzie the ball, she backs up and sets it on the ground, running to it I kick it, hard. MG runs and catches it in the endzone, getting us a point. Then Lizzie makes Dana drop the ball, Kaleb picks it up and jumps over Kyle when he tried to tackle him, making it to the endzone again. "Yes!" I yell and clap for our team. "Yes! Let's go! All-day baby. And there's more where that came from." Kaleb yelled as he bumped my shoulder playfully. And then my smile drops when I see my sister. "Not if she has anything to say about it. Hey Jo, what're you doing?" I asked walking up to her. "Calling an audible of my own" she says and holds up the whiteboard that says LOSE.

After getting a lecture from sister dearest about losing more than just a game if we use our powers, MG is the first one to speak. "Shes right Lizzie we gotta lose the game." "Or... Door number 3" Penelope says looking at us. "Okay, we definitely didn't ask for your opinion. And how on earth do you always do that! It's like she appears out of smoke." Josie says glaring at Penelope. "No no, do speak Satan, what's door number 3?" I ask looking at her. "You win. Without any of your supernatural special sauce. Fair and square." she says smiling.

"Yeah, except we're legitimately terrible" Josie stated the obvious before Lizzie interrupts "No we used to be terrible, but Kaleb and Lil are new this year." "And you got me I can help you win the game. I caught that pass earlier" MG responded smiling. "You used your powers" "No I didn't. I'm just scrappy like that." He smiles again.

Lizzie looks at Penelope, "Good idea Satan. But to be clear you can't have my immortal soul" and Penelope blows Lizzie a kiss. Making me roll my eyes. "Fair and square" and we all shake our heads in agreement.

We lost. Shaking hands with the humans, I finally snap when Dana says something to Josie. "Suck it losers" That's when I throw a punch. I used my normal strength but it was enough to make her head go back, I didn't even punch her hard. "Talk to my sister like that again and I'll break you!" I say, and she goes to hit me back but I grab her wrist and twist it behind her back, breaking it. "I'm also a black belt in three different types of martial arts. Learn who you're trying to hit before doing it." then we get pulled away from each other. Walking away I say with an innocent smile and a wave "Enjoy the broken wrist Dana!"

✨✨✨

After I showered I went to the twins' room and sat on Lizzie's bed with her. Josie walked in with a bag of frozen peas, "You guys mad at me?" she asked walking to us. "No. We're mad at the world and you just happen to be in it," I said and Lizzie nodded. Sighing Josie sat down, "Well you're about to be. I did a little spell at the game, and I made Kaleb drop the ball. And I totally did black magic with Hope." "Well let's just call this what it is. You betrayed us." Lizzie says looking at her twin. "I was afraid to disappoint dad. So I disappointed you guys instead." Josie looked at us apologetically and handed Lizzie the peas. Dana was able to hit her after they pulled me away from her.

"I'll forgive you. If you promise not to keep secrets about doing black magic with Hope. You're our sister, our best friend. And she spent the last 10 years making is feel like we don't matter, except for Lil. And I don't like feeling that way, not from Hope, or girls like Dana, not from dad. And especially not from either of you." Lizzie said, and Josie looked at me, "And you?" I simply hug her. "I wouldn't have broken Dana's wrist if I was mad at you. Well, breaking her wrist was more for me, but punching her, that was for you." I say and we all laugh. Laying down together, Josie asks "So. What are we gonna do about dad?" I laugh and respond, "More like what is going to do to us? More specifically me. I mean, he did say we had to make the townies think we're a school for troubled rich kids, how better to do that than one of the students throwing the first punch." and we laugh again, eventually falling asleep.

✨✨✨

We woke up when dad walked in. "Dad? I can explain" Josie says, and he just walks over to us and hugs us. After that hug, I left, saying I was going to my room to sleep. I lied. I went to Hope's room. After today, I really needed my best friend. And when I got there I see she needs me too.

Walking in, I see her sitting the end of her bed looking at pictures of her family, crying. Closing the door, she looks at me, seeing that I have tears that are starting to fall too. Walking over to her, I pull her into a hug and we just sit there like that for a while.

Eventually, we were just laying in her bed cuddling, staring at nothing. "How did you know I needed you?" Hope asked still looking at the ceiling. Sighing I answer, "I just had a really rough day, figured you might have as well looking for Landon. So I came here, to talk or do nothing, it doesn't matter. I just feel more comfortable around you than with anyone else."

"What happened?" Hope asked looking at me, sitting up, causing me to do the same. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." I reply looking at her. She sighs, "Landon stole that knife, and when we found him, he lied about having it, and then lied again saying he lost it. Then we were attacked by a dragon a-" "Woah, wait, a dragon? I thought they were a myth" I say looking at her with wide eyes, she simply nods. "Yeah, I thought so too. But I guess not. She was trying to get the knife Landin stole. So, to kill her, I used black magic. Your dad found the spell I took from my grandmother's grimoire. It a- it was a death spell... That I was going to use on Landon." Hope paused looking up trying not let tears fall again. "He uh- he said that I was acting vengefully like my dad. I don't know I guess he was right. But it hurt you know?"

Slowly I nodded, and she wiped the tears she had let fall. "Hey," I say grabbing her hands, "You are not your father, and he may have done terrible things to some of my family here, but he loved you okay? No matter any of his flaws, he was a great father to you. Hold onto that, and nothing else okay?" She nodded, then asked what I was dreading, "What about you? I told you mine, it's your turn, Lil."

I looked down before looking back at her, letting a few tears fall. "Uhm... I don't even know where to start. Alaric missed the game today, which I know it was because what you guys were doing was important but it still hurt. A lot. You know cause this was the one time he was actually going to see a game of mine, he never had time, he never made time to see any other sports games I play so it was important to me." Hope just listens and wipes away a tear from my face as I continue, "And then, Lizzie blamed me because 'dad loves your girlfriend Hope more than us' I think is what she said-" "But I'm not your girlfriend." Hope says looking at me questioningly. "Yeah I know, I told her that. I actually tell her that a lot, she mentions it often. Anyway, so that had me upset, and Penelope just had to speak, so I 'accidentally' hit her'" I say making quotation marks with my fingers making Hope laugh. "Then at the game, Dana decided to say shit about how her dad was still able to make it to the game, and that at least it was her bio dad that's alive."

I pause looking down. "That's what really hurt. I couldn't control that my dad died for everyone. And Ric is great at being a dad to me, but it's not the same." Hope nodded in understanding "She also fired back that her mom hasn't seen Lizzie and I at her mom's pharmacy and that we were temperamental because we were off our meds-" "Are you? Off your meds?" Hope says concerned.

I slowly nod. "They just make the nightmares worse rather than stop them, so I stopped taking them at night. Plus I haven't actually had a nightmare in a few weeks." Hope dryly laughed "Man is there any part of either of our days that's good?" This made me smile and wipe away my tears. "Well.... If you must know, Dana said something to Josie at the end of the game. So I punched her." Hope laughed, so did I. "And, she tried to hit me back, so I may or may not have broken her wrist. With normal strength by the way." And we laughed even more.

Eventually, we were laying down again, and we both fell asleep.
