BACKSTORY

(gif by heartology)

Lilith Smith was the first OC I ever published, so she holds a special place in my heart. She is the daughter and only child of Negan Smith and his late wife, Lucille. She lived in the same small county outside of Arlington, Virginia her entire life, pre-apocalypse that is. Growing up, Lilith had no permanent friends. Occasionally, she would find people willing to talk or hang out with her, but it never lasted. Her parents were the closest people to her.

Her father was good with kids. He was a gym teacher at the local high school, which was right across the street from the middle school. Every once in a while, he would show up unannounced and pull her out of class. They'd skip the rest of the school day together, either getting ice cream or going to the movies or anything.

Her mother was gentle. But not in a weak, fragile way. She was kind and understanding. Her voice was soothing, but not quiet. It still had the ability to strike people when necessary. Her hands were soft. Lilith's favorite feeling was when her mother would brush her fingers through her hair. It made her fall asleep instantly. Lucille was obsessed with Jane Austen. Countless nights were spent reading a variety of the iconic author's novels. The household favorite was Pride & Prejudice. Basic, but amazing. Lucille loved it so much that she named her daughter after her favorite character: Lilith Darcy Smith.

Her parents were her best friends. . . until she met Melanie.

A year before the world fell, Lilith fell in love with Melanie Martin.

Melanie was the same age as her, but her confidence in herself and maturity around others made her seems many years older. As an eighth grader, Lilith didn't see herself as being one for romance for a very long time. But then, the red-head girl with the pixie cut invited her to hang out with her on Halloween.

Lilith had never hung out with friends on Halloween. Not only because she did not have any friends, but she always stayed in with her parents, passing out candy. She hadn't gone 'trick or treating' since she was 10. That's 3 years of rewatching Nightmare Before Christmas with her mom over and over again. However, there was one year where her father secretly let her stay up and they watched the original Halloween. Lucille was livid the next morning when she noticed her daughters lack of sleep. But that's beside the point.

The point is, Lilith was the only one Melanie had invited to her house. They ate candy and watched a variety of scary movies. They gossiped and complained about the popular, pretty girls at school. Melanie tried to guess who Lilith had a crush on, which led to Lilith realizing she didn't know the answer either. It became a tradition. Every weekend, they were at one of their houses. Snacking and binge-watching and talking.

It didn't take long for Lilith to realize she liked Melanie. And Lucille was observant enough to bring it up a couple times too. Negan, of course, was oblivious. After a couple months, Lilith had her first kiss with Melanie. They both admitted to liking each other and that was that. They would plan their future together and talk about how they would escape their small town.

Then the world ended.

It was one of the scariest days of Lilith's life. Her mom had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier that week, and she had found out that her dad had been having an affair. Lilith's life was already in shambles. To escape the stress of her family, she had been staying at Melanie's house for several days.

Melanie's parents boarded up the doors and windows. But sometimes the two girls would sneak out after feeling trapped for days. This came back to bite them, quite literally, when a horde arrived.

When they were out one day, they almost didn't make it back. The dead were on their tails, Melanie falling as they ran causing one of the dead people to create a long, deep gash on her ankle.

They made it back to the injured girl's house, barely.
That night, the redhead slept in between her parents. Lilith slept on the floor.

When she woke up, she would never be the same. The smell of blood drifted through the room. And a soft squelching sound filled her ears, along with the sound of moaning.

Standing up, Lilith wanted to scream when she saw her best friend, her first love, covered in blood. Her parents' blood. Remnants of the redhead's mother and father lay on the bed. The young girl used her hands to tear their bodies apart and, to Lilith's horror, eat them.

Lilith was frozen in fear until Melanie began to move towards her. Only then did she move. Only then did she run. She ran home for the first time in two weeks.

There, her father was angry with her absence, while her mother was simply relieved to see her.

They boarded up their house, moved into the basement. And stayed there. They stayed there until they couldn't anymore, until Lilith's own mother left them too.
