Theft (8)

Lizzie left a note for her sister so that when she woke up so she knew to meet her at the dock for training.

She quickly left the room after grabbing her bag, with Kai following closely behind.

"So what are we doing?" Kai asked, for practically the hundredth time, making Lizzie give him an exasperated look.

"How about you wait and see?" Lizzie hissed at him under her breath. She had to be careful because who knew what the other students would think if they saw her talking to thin air.

Although, a majority of them thought she was crazy already, so there probably wouldn't be a problem.

She glanced at Kai as he groaned in annoyance.

"Come on, Lizzie, give me a little hint," Kai pleaded, purposely widening his eyes.

Lizzie was about to reply when she heard her full name being called.

Oh shit. Why did her dad have the worst timing?

She turned on her heel to face Alaric as he approached.

"Huh, I didn't think he could look more ugly than the last time I saw him. I was wrong," Kai said, giving Alaric a once over and Lizzie struggled not to laugh which was not easy.

Lizzie straightened, ignoring the smirk Kai sent at her. "Dad," Lizzie greeted, shifting hesitantly.

"Elizabeth, have you seen Hope?" He asked, and Lizzie rolled her eyes.

"Seeing as I just woke up, no I haven't," Lizzie said, biting her tongue to prevent herself from saying something she might later regret.

"Are you sure?" Alaric asked, frowning at her.

"She literally said she just woke up," Kai said, raising an eyebrow at Alaric before turning to Lizzie. "Is he deaf or just stupid?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Lizzie said, gritting her teeth. "Besides, since you seem to have forgotten. Let me remind you, Hope and I are not friends, therefore I wouldn't know where she's at in any given situation."

Alaric narrowed his eyes. "Cool it with the tone," He said, warningly.

"Whatever," Lizzie muttered, rolling her eyes.

Alaric looked like he was about to say something but then, he just decided to walk away.

"What did my sister ever see in him?" Kai wondered, aloud as he looked from Alaric to Lizzie.

Lizzie looked over at him. "Believe me, I have no idea," Lizzie said with a sigh.

She turned back around and kept walking.

When she reached the end of the hallway, she glanced around and placed her palm on the wall, and started siphoning.

Kai blinked in surprise and gave her a strange look, which Lizzie chose to ignore for now.

Lizzie stopped siphoning and made sure the coast was clear, and it was.

"Invisique," She whispered, and she turned invisible.

She glanced at Kai, who was staring at her with raised eyebrows.

"I'm guessing you can still see me?" Lizzie said, not at all surprised. He was here because of a bond or whatever. And, in the end, he was connected to her, so it's not surprising that he would be able to see her no matter what.

Which wasn't that great because that meant she couldn't hide from him nor could she do a spell to prevent him from hearing what she was saying.

"Uh-huh," Kai replied. "Why are you cloaking yourself?"
