LILITH STOOD WITH Lydia and Allison at the school, somewhere around eleven at night. The redheaded girl had called them, saying she wasn't intending to go to school that night, but had somehow still ended up there. Just like when she found the body at the swimming pool.
"Where is she?" Stiles asked, getting out of his jeep.
"Over here," Allison called to the two boys, the five of them meeting up just outside the main entrance.
"It's the same thing as the pool. I got into the car, heading somewhere totally different, and ended up here," she explained, quieting her voice. "And you told me to call you if there's a dead body."
"You found a dead body?" He asked her, seeming shocked despite this becoming a normal weekday activity for them.
"Not yet," she answered them honestly.
"'Not yet'? What do you mean, 'not yet'? Lydia, you're supposed to call us after you find the dead body," Stiles reminded her, Lilith rolling her eyes. Sending a teenage girl who didn't know how to defend herself to find dead bodies didn't seem like a good ideas.
"Oh no, I'm not doing that again. You find the dead body from now on," she told him.
"How are we supposed to find the dead body? You're always the one finding the dead body," he vented.
"Guys."
"Don't you think other people present, myself included, don't want to find the dead bodies?" Lilith questioned, jumping to Lydia's defense.
"Guys!" Scott yelled, grabbing their attention that time. "I found the dead body."
They all turned to where he was looking, one of the officers in the sheriff's department hanging dead over the school sign, blood everywhere. Yup, a normal day in Beacon Hills.

Lilith was walking to her car during her free period when she heard something crash into the lockers. Given their school's history, it was probably someone. She rushed into the boys locker room, seeing Cora on the ground, Aiden standing above her, a heavy weight in his hands, at least fifty pounds. Judging by the blood on the ground, he had hit her in the head with it. She ran in front of Cora, pushing him back with her mind. Ethan ran in, helping her hold him off. Scott and Stiles weren't far behind him. As Ethan tried talking some sense into him, Lilith and Lydia checked on Cora's wounds.
"Guys," she muttered, grabbing their attention. There was enough fear in her eyes that even Scott looked scared. Something was really wrong with the beta. "I think she's hurt really bad."
They were able to help her up, Lily guiding her over to the sink. She got her a paper towel, wetting it and putting it against her cut, the girl wincing on impact. Despite her pain, Lilith didn't stop, knowing it's what she needed. "Are you okay?" Scott asked her, though the answer was an obvious 'no'.
