The Triple Hybrid

Chapter 18 - The Return

        So, we left the car, they were on the doorstep, waiting for us.

        “We came as soon as we could.” I hugged them. Meridith's eyes were swollen from crying.

        “Thanks, and sorry to spoil you vacation.”

        “Lilith, never mind that, more days will come.

        Klaus approached us. “We brought reinforcements. These are Joanne and Jane.”

        “Hello.” They said.  

        Lilith made ​​a slight smile to see that they were twins too, but it quickly disappeared. “Thank you for coming. I am Lilith, this is my sister Meridith.”

        “Hello.” She said, continuing to grab my hand.

        “I know you don’t know us, but we were stuck in a house for many years without being able to leave, Caroline helped us and we knew you needed help. Being here is a way to understand how the world is and find your sister and Liam, faster.”

        “Thanks, and I hope we can be friends.” Meridith said.

        “I don’t want to look bad, but it's really cold, and right now I'm the only one that can feel it. Can we go inside to talk?”

        “Of course. In addition, your mother is here.” Lilith added.

        “My mom?!” I quickened my steps and went inside. She was sitting on the couch with a mug of tea in her hands and with her sheriff's uniform on. “Mom!” I called. I ran to her, giving her enough time to land her mug and stand up. She hugged me tightly, as if we didn’t see in years. “I missed you.” I told her.

        “I also missed you, a ten-minute phone conversation don’t reach me, love, and I get news that you have frequent encounters with spirits and sometimes you faint out.”

        “How do you know?” I asked her.

        Klaus entered below Lilith and my mother looked at him. “You've been spying on me through him?”

        “Not really, I called him and asked him if the day had been exactly as you had described to me, he would say yes or no.

        I smiled at her. “You are a evil witch.” I kissed her again and gave her a huge hug. “Did you find some clue that can make us find them?”

        “No, and I have done some location spells but nothing worked.”

        “What do you think of this?” I inquired.

        “I honestly don’t know, honey. Jim is also disappeared. According to my research, all the werewolves in town, and attention they aren’t many, they have been disappearing.”

        “What do you think of this?”

        “Maybe it’s a trap... I don’t know anything. I don’t want to assume, you know I like to have certainty, but currently I have no idea.”

        “With more time we’ll get there.”

        “Well, I'm going. Lilith had told me you were coming today and I stayed to just give you a kiss and try to provide my services, I have to get back to work.” She kissed my forehead. “Watch out.”

        “You too, Mom.”

        She stood up, greeted and said goodbye to Klaus, and to my oldest friends and my new friends.
