Lily to her father in In My Veins


Lillian "Lily" Mae Rezza is a witch and one of the main protagonists of The Hathaway Chronicles. She is the daughter and only child of Laura Rezza and Samuel Rezza. She is best friends with Celesta Moone, Amberly Wise, Zachary Pierce, and Eleanor Harris. She dated Brandon Kaiser a little over a year before they split. Later on, she became romantically involved with Scott Aldridge. It is later revealed that she was Adelaide Hathaway in her previous life. With her cousin Celesta, Adelaide and Claire both scarified themselves to empower the next generation of witches, which ultimately caused them to be reborn. After gaining her magic, she had a difficult time learning how to control it, which ultimately led to her father having to seal her magic. After Seana returns to Seaside, she has to learn to trust herself again and protect her family, eventually doing so.

Lily is a member of the Rezza Family and Pearson Family, as well as a descendant of the Hathaway Family.

History

Lily Mae Rezza was born in Seaside, California to Samuel and Laura Rezza on March 18, 1995. Which was also the day Celesta was born. She is a witch like the rest of her family members. Her and Celesta Moone have been best friends since they were born, they are like sisters. In April of 2005, Lily was with her parents when they went to a meeting with Zachary Pierce's parents, their parents had been friends and they became childhood friends. When she was being watched by Aria, vampires lead by Seana Kane attacked at their house, killing Aria, and Markus lost most of the members of his pack, leaving only his son and him as the sole survivors of the attack, along with Lily and her parents. Zach, who was barely 11, began phasing into a werewolf, something that shouldn't of happened for years, mistaking her as Seana, who they witnessed killing Aria only moments before, attacked her, almost killing her. It was only the intervention of Scott that saved her. Laura then asked Scott to change Lily's memories of Aria's death due to the trauma it caused the young witch. She continued on to have a normal childhood, being trained by her mother as a witch, but still lead a very humane lifestyle, she didn't know of the other supernatural, being shielded from it since she was 10. She, along with her friends, went on to attend Franklin High School. She dated Brandon Kaiser for over a year till her Junior year in High School, though he later broke up with her to be with Isabel Florence. Despite her parents turning away from their witch heritage, they still taught her parts of it, but not all since they kept her sheltered due to what happened years ago.

The Hathaway Chronicles

Darkness Descending

Lily is first seen in the prologue as she walks along with Scott in a graveyard in Boston. She tells him that they have to go somewhere, as people are waiting for them. Though her identity is unknown at the time. She is also indirectly mentioned by Adelaide in Before I Go, stating she had to protect her and everyone from something. It wasn't until The Reckoning is where she made her first official appearance. She is with her parents when they go to the Pierce's to discuss the attacks on their pack. She is reunited with childhood friend Zachary Pierce and the two play monopoly as their parent's have the meeting. However, Seana Kane led an attack against their pack which later resulted in the death of Aria Pierce. This in turn caused Zach to shift early, and not realizing Lily was who she was, attacked her. After he came back to his senses and saw what he had done, he was inconsolable and begged Scott to save her which he did. Her mother Laura later had Scott erase her memories so that she wouldn't remember the horror of that night in the chapter A Mother's Love.

In The Glimpse, seven years have passed since that night. She and her cousin Celesta run into Zachary and Scott at a park and the two hug as they hadn't seen each other in a long time. Lily's memory had been altered so that she only remembered Zach's mother having died in a car accident, as opposed to her death at the hands of Seana. Later on, in Where We Started she starts high school, but later that day discovers she has seemingly gained her ability to do magic, something that shouldn't have happened for another six months. Cel also gained her magic, leaving both of them baffled. Later that day Lily gets overwhelmed with her memories returning and passes out, so Scott brought her home. When she woke, her parents told her what happened. Angry with them for hiding the truth of what happened at the Pierce's seven years ago, this left a rift between her and her parents for a short time. Later on, Lily was trying everything to figure out how to gain her memory back, as well as now dealing with the threat of Seana Kane.

That next day, Cel and Lily go to Zach's house when he and Scott didn't show up for school. While there, Seana comes to stir up trouble, which lead to Lily using her magic which caused the compulsion to erode fully. With a handle on her magic, Lily threatened to kill Seana for harming the Pierce pack and murdering Zach's mother years ago. Seana called her bluff however, asking her if she was a killer like her, or like Scott. However, Scott appeared just as she was saying that and said Lily was not. Afterward, Scott and Seana got into a heated fight which later resulted in Scott getting thrown right at Lily who took the brunt of the fall, almost killing her. Scott healed her after seeing the extent of her injuries. Though Lily was not entirely coherent, she noticed how distraught he looked at seeing her like that. When her parents come to the Pierce's house and reconnect with Markus, Scott offers to walk Lily to her car, much to the chagrin of her father. From that point on, Lily focuses on school and learning magic from her parents. A few weeks go by and Seana has not been seen, but neither has Isabel Florence. In The Rings, Seana catches Lily off guard and takes her to one of the classrooms, forcing her to make three daylight rings. At first Lily resisted Seana, but when she threatened Brandon, Lily gave in to Seana's demands. After making the second ring, Lily knew Seana planned on turning Isabel and Maggie into vampires. The third one, which was Brandon was a warning to Lily to not interfere with Seana's plans or she would kill Brandon. Afterward, Seana compels her to forget what happened.

In She's Like the Wind, Scott and Lily start writing their paper for Economics class. After they finish it, Scott tells her what happened at school and to use her magic to undo Seana's compulsion. When she does and her memories come rushing back, she feels useless since Seana threatened Brandon and everyone she cares for. Scott tells her that she is not alone and promises to make sure everyone will get through this. Then without hesitating Lily kisses Scott, which surprised him. The two of them have been getting closer over the last few weeks, and Lily had started to develop feelings for him. He returned the kiss and things start to get heated until Scott stops them, knowing he could lose control if he didn't stop. Lily was unaware of this and was mostly embarrassed for even having the nerve to kiss him. In a hurry she leaves before they can talk about what happened.

In Way Down We Go, Lily has been hyperventilating throughout the morning, anxiously waiting to have that talk with Scott. When she does get to see him after their shared class, he tells her they just got caught up in the moment and that he just wanted to be friends. Especially with everything going on with Seana, a relationship was not what they needed right now. Lily agrees with him, but is secretly left heartbroken. Later on after lunch, a commotion down the hall stops everyone. Accompanied by Cel and Zach, they find Maggie at the base of the stairs not moving. Lily sees Isabel and tries to comfort her on seeing her distraught, but is taken aback when Isabel showed she was actually faking it and was now a vampire. Lily tries to ask if she did this to Maggie, but Isabel leaves without answering.
