Heidi and Alexander were as inseparable as they were different

Heidi and Alexander were as inseparable as they were different. They loved each other, it was clear, even if Heidi never smiled and he never stopped laughing. Mackenzie watched them live together, like they were two pieces of the same puzzle, so different and yet, they made sense, they completed each other. They needed one another. Alexander always managed to make her smile at least once a day. It was almost his life's mission. She needed him to relax and he needed her to keep his feet on the ground.

Living with them was entertaining and never boring. Heidi was determined to teach Mackenzie everything she should know if she were to live in this world alone. Alexander helped her train physically. It always ended with blood and bruises, but he always healed her at the end of the day. She learnt more in two weeks than she had in the past six months. She had grown stronger and more confident.

They had asked her several times if she wanted to go to the Forest, but she always declined. They had left Mystic Falls, but the town was still a two-hour drive away. She refused to walk away even though she never answered any calls from her former friends. Not Elena's, not Bonnie's and not Rebekah's. She didn't want to talk to them. She was still angry at the doppelganger and the witch and she figured she always will be. Heidi had told her that the fire inside her would make her spiteful and revenge hungry. She had been right about that. Even though Mackenzie wasn't actively trying to kill them, she didn't feel anything but anger towards them. They weren't her friends. They had never been her friends.
