Damon POV“Lilith?” I mumbled, “Hi, I've been worried sick about you, you ran out of the bathroom so fast the other night, and I didn't get a chance to give...”But Mel cut me off, “So this is Damon? The same you've been crus...”“Classmate! He is my classmate” Lilith yelled, not wanting Mel to continue what she was about to say.“Right, nice to meet you, Damon, Lilith speaks highly of you,” Mel extended her hand towards me.“No I don't, I hardly even know him,” Lilith grumbled. I shook Mel's hand, giving her a luminous smile, “Nice to meet you, Mel.”Fifteen minutes in, and the room was dead silent, this was supposed to be a Lunch where we all got to know more about each other but now, it is making us all uncomfortable, I told Stefan this was a bad idea and I was right.Mel sat across from Stefan and me, scrolling through her phone, While Lilith stood a couple of feet away from us, occasionally glancing at

Stefan POVI stood by the window of the apartment, sipping coffee, gazing outside at the parked cars, it was 8:00 AM and Damon was out on his early morning run. I don't know if it's just me, or I am exhausted, Demons are not like humans, We don't feel temperatures, we don't get tired, and we don't get sick but my body felt weak as if I was visited by a succubus last night and if I was then it must have been a powerful one because I can't recall what was my dream about.Continuing to look outside, I saw Lilith and Mel loading her pink Lamborghini with luggage. I don't... and I think I will never understand humans, why she couldn't settle for a normal car, that Lamborghini only makes her an easy target. I watched as she drove off and Lilith stood watching her as well, maybe she has gone to visit family, or stay with a boyfriend. I know for sure Lilith is going to miss her, she was more outspoken and Lilith

Damon POVI stood in the shower, the water dribbled down my back, still not believing that I am Lilith's mate, well it's not totally unbelievable, many years ago before she was born, The oracle told me I will fall in love with her, the one who will save us all. And I didn't understand what she meant because I loved Eve II, That's before she became smitten with the power which boosted her to overthrow Lucifer, her father. But I loved her regardless, even though Stefan always warned me about her, that I was just an incubus, a second class demon and my gold eyes were the evidence of it. But she was Hell's royalty, a wrath demon and her purple eyes were her authorization over the realm, she had it all. But she craved more, she wanted to control it and everyone within in.And because of her selfishness, the underworld has been fighting a war ever since. Bloodshed for millions of years, and it was us, my that started it. Werewolves, Vampires, W

Lilith POV“For the last time, Mel, Everything is fine, Why are you calling you've been gone for only a couple of hours You're in the middle of the ocean, Wait...how are you even calling?” I asked.“Because I am at the apartment, Williams is out running errands before we leave,” She mumbled.“Ok, but why are you whispering?”“His parents– his parents are here,” Mel muttered.“Oh! Oh my God... What are they like?” I asked.“Well, they seem nice, but I am nervous”“And that's the reason you're whispering?”“No, it's because... I don't want to be a rude host, so I excused myself to the bathroom, so I could call you.”I took a deep breath, rolling my eyes in annoyance.“Mel, go and bond with your in-laws, I can take care of myself, everything is ok.”“Yea I know but are you ok?” She asked.I paused at her question, Thinking, Am I ok? The simplest question most people cannot answer. No, no I am not, I thin

 Lilith POV “Hey we have to go back, my— friends are probably in danger,” I turned to face Thomas who had his hands fixed on the steering wheel. “Friends? I thought Mel— was your only friend,” he snickered.I didn't want to tell him about Damon and Stefan, I only knew it was their car because Mel showed to me this morning before she left, “Just turn the car around—please,” I pleaded.“I can't, if I am not mistaken, I saw a CSI van back there, it's a crime scene and the cops can charge me if I park too close...attempt contamination of evidence, and it seems as if they have it under control,”Taking a deep breath, I folded my arms, hoping that whatever happened back there, they are ok.“Sorry— I hope your friends are ok,” “Yea, me too,” I mumbled.Driving towards the center of the city, he came to a stop at a cross-section, “Where I drop you off?” he asked.“Thank you, but here is fine, I will take it f
