Restless • Lizzie Saltzman

17

What Hope said in the forest really had them thinking... Soulmates. That was insane but it was true. Lizzie had done more research on the existance of soulmates and apparently its kind of rare that Soulmates find eachother. But once they are in the same place, magic or not, they feel that tugging and it leads them to their destiny.

Knowing this now Lizzie was even more happy to have Rae, as she is a Heretic now and there are a bunch of new challenges, having that connection there with the human girl kept her grounded. Kept her, her.

They were hanging out all day since it was a Saturday there was no school. Alaric did make sure to warn her to be careful because Kai was still out there somewhere. Which Lizzie hadn't forgot. Of course she hasn't. The bastard murdered her AND turned her.

But she wouldn't let that ruin this day... As it was Rae's birthday. She turns 17 today. All she wanted, all she asked for was to spend it with Lizzie. So Lizzie intends to do just that.

They woke up at the Salvatore school thanks to movie night last night. Rae's friends at the school wished her a happy birthday, MG even gave her a cupcake, not sure when he made that. Hope offered to make her breakfast. But they declined since they wanted to have breakfast at the Grill.

So they left the school ready for the day.

As they at in the Grill eating the food they ordered, Lizzie smiled at Rae who seemed actually happy. She loved seeing her happy, since the words from what seemed like years ago were still in her mind : I don't see a future for me. She was so unhappy then but now she is. You can see it. In her eyes.

"Why are you staring at me?" Rae pointed out sounding amused.

Lizzie felt a bit embarrassed she was caught but hid it with a confident smile, "maybe I'm gazing."

"At what? I'm not attractive when I eat," Rae laughed.

"Shut up, you so are, you always are beautiful," Lizzie kicked her from under the table.

Rae blushed crimson red as she kicked her back, "you flirt."

"I'm your flirt," Lizzie winked.

"That was a lame come back."

The two just laughed.

After breakfast, they had walked to the park where a festival was going on actually.

They played some games and looked at all the stuff to buy. At that moment Lizzie wanted to get Rae a real present even though the dark blonde had begged her not to. Rae was getting a carameled apple as Lizzie was buying something special for her.

The merchant was wrapping it up for her like a present when she asked him to.

"Buying your girlfriend a present?" Lizzie froze at the voice, "awe how precious."

"Kai!" Lizzie turned to him immediately glaring at her relative, "I should just pull out your heart! You turned me!" The anger made some of the stuff around her shake.

"Careful, Lizzie, you don't want to have an episode on Rae's B-Day," Kai commented smirking.

"If I have an episode it'll be because of you!" Lizzie hissed veins growing under her eyes but when she realized she quickly looked down taking deep breaths as her mother told her to do.
