Down the rabbit hole
❍
Alexandria, 2010.
Lilith had to go back to Mystic Falls, to help translate, whatever it was needed translating. By orders of Bonnie Bennett she had to go to Elena's house and help Caroline and Tyler translate. She didn't know these people, what she knew is that they had to be important for Bonnie because there was no way she was sending her back to Mystic Falls if they weren't important. Lilith moved the arms of the people that were still hugging her body, she stood completely naked, mouth covered in blood, she had a great couple of days, drank a lot, still she was hungry, so she woke a girl that was in bed with her, the girl smiled at her.
"Are you still hungry?," the girl asked, Lilith smiled.
"Am i that predictable, love?," the girl nodded shyly and stood up. Once she was in front of her she moved her head to the side giving Lilith enough access to her neck. Lilith didn't waste her time and sank her teeth into the girls neck, drinking with ecstasy until she felt the girl starting to buckle her knees, then she stopped.
"Is that enough?," the girl asked.
"Not even," Lilith smiled blood all over her face, she was a messy eater, "but I don't want you to die," Lilith knew bodies would attract attention, attention that she didn't want at the moment, so she restricted herself with her drinking, "I need a bath."
Lilith took a bath, changed her clothes, found Daniel and felt ready to leave the room. She had an amazing couple of days, now she had to get back to Mystic Falls, help Bonnie's friends, and then she would take a detour and find Nik.
"We have to go Daniel," Daniel nodded, "you are taking me back to Mystic Falls," Daniel nodded again.
❍
On the ride back to mystic falls she kept drinking from Daniel's wrist, trying to enjoy her way back, she knew once she reached Mystic Falls she had to be on her best behavior, not only for Bonnie but also for bonnie's friends, because if they were important enough to make bonnie want Lilith to have a surprise appearance, they were important enough and Bonnie probably trusted their word, so Lilith had to charm some more people, easy enough.

Mystic Falls, 2010.
Once they reached the Welcome to Mystic Falls sign, Lilith told Daniel to stop, she wouldn't drag Daniel into whatever she was going in, also it wouldn't look so good to be accompanied by a man who had holes all over him, and was being compeled to do everything she wished.
"Stop Daniel," Daniel stopped the car, "I'll walk from here," then she turned to look at Daniel, "Look at me, Daniel," the man turned to her, "now, I thank you for all of your services these lasts few days, but I must bid you goodbye," she smiled, "you're going to forget everything that happened, and only remember that you partied hard all over Virginia, and that you had the greatest time, now return home" Daniel nodded, "thank you, Daniel."

Lilith walked into town, ready to find Elena's house, that was where Bonnie's friends were supposed to be, so she walked and walked, until she reached a place filled with enough people, someone had to know where Elena lived. She walked into the Mystic Grill, and then to the bar.
"Hello," she said to the bartender, "I know this might sound strange, but I am looking for someone," the bartender looked expectant, "her name is Elena, she is friends with Bonnie Bennett, do you know where she lives?," the girl nodded.
"We actually live close by," Lilith nodded, "I can tell you."
"I would appreciate it, but I'm new to town, and don't know my way around just yet," the girl hummed.
"I can give you the address and then you just use maps to get there."
"Where would I get those maps," this was harder than Lilith believed in the first place.
"No, i mean maps, the app in your phone," Lilith must have looked clueless because the girl laughed, "give me your phone," Lilith handed over her phone, "now, this in an app," said the girl playing with her phone, "and I'll just write the address here," Lilith nodded trying to understand perfectly how it worked, "and now I'll press start, and you just follow wherever the voice tells you to," Lilith nodded.
"And this will take me to Elena's house?"
"Yes," Lilith nodded.
"Thank you, I really appreciate your help."
"No worries," the girl smiled.
"I have to go, thank you again," Lilith smiled to the girl.
"See you around," said the girl and she just nodded.

Lilith kept following the voice, it was faster than she thought. The next moment she was walking around houses, looking around, it looked to be near but she wasn't completely sure, so she kept walking until the voice said you have arrived to your destination. She was there, she only had to help translate, she didn't even had to say much, she would just leave and hope Bonnie wouldn't want her on a shorter leash.
She walked to the house, but there were people outside of the house, clearly arguing.
"Every time I think I have him, that son of a bitch gets the upper hand," said the boy.
"We won't let him hurt you. Stefan and Elena will bring back the cure," the blonde said. Elena, they knew Elena.
"If they get to it first," the boy was clearly angry, maybe it wasn't the best time, but she needed to help them.
"Hello," said Lilith bringing their attention to her, the both of them turned to her, "I am looking for Elena's house, the voice said it's here," they looked confused they had never seen this person before.
"What do you want?," The boy asked.
"Is this Elena's house?"
"Yes, and you are?," the blonde asked.
"Bonnie Bennett sent me here," they seemed to pay more attention when she said Bonnie's name, "she said Caroline and Tyler needed help translating," the blonde nodded, "that's why I am here."
"Seriously?," Lilith smiled and nodded, "Bonnie Bennett."
"Can I help?," Lilith asked.
"We finished with all the translating," the boy said, maybe if the translating was done, she didn't need to help.
"So you are done?."
"Yes, you are at least two hours too late," the blonde girl chipped up.
"Sorry, I was out of town."
"Bonnie sent you here?," the blonde asked.
"Yes, to help, I am only here to help."
"We don't need your help," the boy said, "you can just leave," rude Lilith thought.
Lilith walked away but didn't leave, she stayed around, why she wasn't sure, but what if Bonnie called and she wasn't with them, Bonnie would think she didn't want to help. The girl walked inside of the house again, then she came out crying, the boy and girl talked a few more minutes, until the boy stood up and left, what a drama, Lilith loved drama, so she stayed, waiting for what was to happen next, waiting like she had always been. Then she saw him, Nik, standing outside of the house, talking to the blonde, he was there, the whole time she's been outside of the house, he was there. So she walked to him.
"For you Caroline, it was all for you," she heard Nik said. Then he walked down the stairs. She stood there waiting for him. He looked up and finally saw her just a few steps away from him.
"You're dead," he said and stood there shocked. Lilith expected him to be shocked but she also expected him to run into her arms and kiss her, he just stood there, petrified. Lilith saw a glimpse of hope in his eyes, so she spoke to make him realize it was real, it was all real.
"Not just yet, my love."
