"So that's it?" a brunette opposite Enzo asked, "Enzo? That's all I get?"

This was Sarah Salvatore but to Elizabeth, she was still an unknown woman.

Elizabeth sat down next to her friend, "I'm Elizabeth." The werewolf then turned towards the vampire, "Who's she?"

"I'll explain later."

"I have pictures of you. Your veins doing weird, non-human things," the unknown woman said.

Enzo chuckled and the woman got a memory card out of her camera, "They're all on this little card."

The werewolf narrowed her eyes as the woman as Enzo said, "You went from cowering in a corner to overt blackmail in an hour. Impressive."

"I wanna know more about you."

"Fair enough," Enzo put down his cup of tea before flashing forwards and taking the memory card from the girl, "One: I'm very fast," he broke her card in half, "Two: I'm very strong."

"That was, like 70 bucks!"

"Three: I'm very rich."

The woman put her camera aside, "Rich. Strong. Fast. You have weird veins. You can heal people with your blood. What are you?"

"This is a joke, right?"

"Does it look like I'm joking?"

Elizabeth groaned, "He's a vampire. Although he doesn't smell like the others do."

Sarah gave them two a weird look, "That's all?"

"And I'm a werewolf," she added.

The woman stood up abruptly, "A werewolf? Those are real?"

"It's okay, it gets less confusing with time," Caroline said as she suddenly stood next to them.

"Caroline," Enzo remarked at the blonde vampire.

"Who is this nice girl we're divulging all of our deepest, darkest secrets to?" she asked.

"I'm Sarah," the brunette replied.

"Sarah," Caroline saw the camera lying on the seat next to her, "Photographer Sarah? Stefan's-"

"You need a drink from the bar," Enzo quickly compelled the girl.

Caroline smiled, "It is so nice not to be bothered by what you two are up to. Old me would have been in such a moral quandary right now."

"Old you?" Enzo asked.

The blonde smiled.

"Oh, no you did not."

"I did. Right after my mom's funeral. Thanks for coming by the way. Kidding. I don't care about that either."

Enzo rolled his eyes, "You're a laugh riot, aren't you?"

"I'm actually a little bored. Which is why I'm recruiting cute guys to come to Whitemore's party tonight. You like to dance, right?"

"Yeah, I love it."

"See you there," the blonde told him and turned to leave but stopped in her tracks as she saw a dark-haired woman stand in front of her.

Caroline turned back to Enzo, "Nevermind, I'm going with my soulmate." She gave the woman a quick kiss on the lips before leaving the bar with her coffee in hand.

Elizabeth turned to Enzo, "So now will you explain who Sarah is?" she asked slightly irritated. Not that she knew why she was irritated in the first place.

"She is Stefan's last living relative. I'm using her to get revenge on him for handing me over to Tripp the vampire hunter."

"Oh," was all Elizabeth could say.

She could feel something weird going on in her chest almost as if she felt relieved somehow. "I think I should probably get ready for the full moon," the werewolf stood up and quickly left the bar to get to her apartment. 

☽ - ☾

Elizabeth had decided to actually move to Mystic Falls and Enzo had compelled her an apartment while she was started working at the Mystic Grill.

When the werewolf got home, she used two chains that they had connected to the wall together to start and chain herself up. 

Enzo came around not much later and helped her tighten the chains before he sat down next to her to wait out the full moon with the werewolf.

"Why do you help me so much?" Elizabeth suddenly asked.

There was a moment of silence before Enzo admitted, "Because I'm your soulmate, love."

"What?" Elizabeth asked, turning to face him "Why didn't you tell me?"

"At first it was because I didn't know how to. Then, I was just too scared."

"Of what?" she asked.

Enzo didn't look at her as he replied, "I don't even know anymore."

Elizabeth stared at him and as he finally looked up, she felt it. She could feel how her soul was pulling her towards him. She would probably never regain her memories but no matter what, she knew that she wanted to be with this vampire.

She slowly leaned closer to the man until they were so close that she could feel his breath on her face and she leaned closer. It was a very soft kiss as Enzo cupped her face in his hands gently.

As they pulled apart, both of them were panting slightly and the werewolf could have sworn that her chest was about to burst. Elizabeth reached up with her hands, wanting to kiss him again but instead managed to tangle herself in the chains that were still attached to her arms.

Enzo chuckled, "Maybe we should take it slowly, love." He helped her get untangled before lifting one of his arms and positioned her in a way that she was leaning against him while he had his back against the wall.

This was the first full moon in a long time that Elizabeth did not lose control.
