Always and Forever

Chapter 18- So I'm In Hell?

Lily's POV~

"Great. So I'm in hell. Or in your terms, a prison world with a psychotic freak show that wants to kill my sisters and I. Lovely. I'm just gonna grab this bottle of bourbon and be anywhere in this house except the room with you in it Alaric. Have a swell time explaining this to my sisters." I tell him while grabbing the alcohol. 

Not waiting to hear his half-assed explanation, I walk out of the living room and to the library to try and find a way out of here. As I'm going through books, I get an idea. But before I do it, Alaric and Josie walk in. "Dad. This is about Uncle Kai, isn't it? You said he was desiccated." "He's not Josie. If he was I wouldn't have spoken to him when I astral projected on accident and then later on purpose remember?" I answer her while going through and trying to find a phone with Google maps. Then, testing my luck, I pull out my own phone and thank god, it gets reception.

Walking to the bag Alaric has weapons in, I look through it and pull out a gun with wooden bullets, a stake, and a knife, putting the gun in the waistband of my jeans, the knife in my boot, and the stake in my back pocket. "Alright look, My phone has reception, Jo if you need me, call." I tell her and start walking out but Alaric stops me.

"Where do you think you're going? No, don't even bother answering. You are going to go with your sister to the meadow and find the sand clock before anyone else does. Then you are going to come back here and hide. And stay hidden." he tells me and I give a blank stare before speaking. "No I'm not. I might have a way to get us out of here but I need to get the things I need for the spells. I know how to get places undetected how the hell do you think I was able to go all summer without you guys finding me unless I wanted to be found? Jo, be smart, stay hidden, siphon me a little so you have magic with you, " I tell her and she does as I say. "Call if you need me." I tell her and kiss her forehead before vamp speeding away so Alaric can't try and stop me.

--------------------------------------------------------------

When I get far enough away, I go into a random house and take off my ring, holing it in my palm. Siphoning it, I look at the list of ingredients and where they are. 10 ingredients, 7 locations, all not too far from here. I could be back by tomorrow. I put the illusion spell back up, and put the ring back on.

Walking outside, I see a nice car, unlocking it, the keys are in there so I start it up and drive off to the closet location, which is like two hours away.

After getting half of the ingredients, I'm driving to the second to last location when my phone rings.

Pulling it out of my pocket, I answer it and put it on speaker. "Hey Jo-Jo. I'm almost done, what's up?" I ask her, but when I don't get anything back I glance at the phone to see I did in fact, answer it. "Jo? Josie?" I ask, and that when I hear something on the phone, it sounds like it's far away but thanks to vamp hearing, I hear it.

"Jade?" "Little Josie Saltzman. Are Lizzie and Lily here too?" Jade? Why the hell is she here? I remember her being a vampire at school like ten years ago. "What are you doing here Jade?" "If that's okay with you, can we talk after I eat? Because I am starving and you look delicious." before I can say or hear anything else the line goes dead.

Stopping the car, I grab my phone and begin to repeatedly call and text Josie trying to see if she's okay. After about ten minutes, I'm about to turn the car around, screw getting the things for the spell I have to see if my sister is okay. But as in turn around and am about to drive back towards Mystic Falls, Josie sends a text with her voice, saying she's okay. After listening to it a few times, I know that she's not being forced to say that so I sigh in relief and turn back around, continuing to go get the five remaining ingredients for the spell.
