Lizzie and Xander had gone into town, it wasn't allowed because Alaric didn't really trust the student to behave but Xander suggested it and Lizzie needed to be away from the school every now and then. Hope had agreed to cover for her in case her dad looked fo her so she didn't have to worry about getting caught.

"So what do you have in mind for us to do?" Lizzie said as she turned to look at Xander taking a hold of his hand, interlocking their fingers.

"Well I figured that we could grab some food and then sneak off to some dark part in the middle of the woods and spend some alone time," he said with a smirk

"I like where your head is at Woods," Lizzie said wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him, kissing him. After a couple of seconds, she pulled back.

"You know we could've just done this at the school?" she said furrowing her brows

"Well your sister is in your room and I have a roommate. And given that we aren't exactly quiet we can't really be there. Plus you're forgetting that there are vampires there that can hear everything," he said giving her a knowing look

"I guess you're right," she said pulling him in for another kiss. Xander was the one that pulled away this time.

"We should go because if we don't we will never leave," Xander said. Lizzie unwrapped her arms from his neck and got in the car. They made their way over to the grill to grab a late dinner. They went inside ate some food, talked, laughed and just enjoyed each other's company. After they finished eating they went back to her car and drove to their place by the falls. Lizzie parked the car and turned to face Xander. All she wanted was to feel him against her, she needed him. Lizzie turns to face Xander, her lips curling into a smirk before she reaches for him. He meets her halfway, his lips crashing against hers as his hands grasp firmly onto her hips, pulling her to him, and she winds her arms around his neck, her fingers pulling gently on his hair. Their tongues tangle together before they finally break the kiss, foreheads resting against each other. "I need you," he said against her lips, pulling her closer as she moves on top of him, straddling his hips, moving against him. His fingers tangle in her hair as his lips crashed against hers again, kissing him deeply, her tongue tangling with his. Her fingers move to the hem of his shirt, lifting it up, her hands roaming down his bare chest. They break the kiss briefly, and Xander lifts the hem of her blouse, pushing it over her head. Then, they're kissing again, this time more desperate, as she works on his pants and boxers while he pulls down her shorts and panties. She adjusts on top of him as he starts to kiss down her neck before he thrusts into her, and she moans, arching her back, her fingers digging into his shoulder blades. His fingers tangled in her hair as he picks up the pace, and she grinds her hips against his. He pulls away, but she just pulls him to her once again, crashing her lips against his, she needed to feel his lips against hers. Their tongues tangle together as they continued to move in sync, and Lizzie can feel her release near. Knowing he's close too, she lets out a soft moan, and he grunts breaking the kiss and starts kissing her neck once again. Lizzie can't help but let out a moan as Xander continues to trail kisses down her neck while his thrusts become more rapid before he finally spills into her, collapsing on top of her. She reaches her climax too and relaxes beneath her, and he rolls over, his head still in her hair, his arms wrapped around her. She turns to face him, reaching to stroke his jaw with her finger.

"You know we should do this more often," he said his lips curling into a smirk

"What isn't the dozens of times we do it at the school, not enough?" she said smiling at him

"What can I say, I can never get enough of you," he said pulling her in for one more kiss before they fix themselves up to go back to the school. Once they arrive back they both say goodnight and go to their rooms. Lizzie changes into her pajamas and goes to bed, but she couldn't sleep so she decided to go out for a walk and arrives at the deck, seeing Sebastian sitting there by himself.


Sebastian had agreed to have a training session with Hope, he needed something to allow him to take out everything he was feeling inside. When he got to the gym Hope was already there.

"So how exactly is this going to help?" he asked, but before he received an answer Hope threw him a long heavy wooden stick, he was thrown off at first but then knew where it was headed.

"Well, you're going to try to hit me using that. Let's see if you can catch up," Hope said getting ready to defend herself. Sebastian swung the stick to her head but she was able to dodge it and swung her stick on the ground causing Sebastian to fall on his back, and she was able to pin him down.

"You know you're going to have to do a lot better than that Sebastian," she said extending her hand to help him up.

"Shouldn't you be with your phoenix, somewhere?" He asked raising his brows

"Actually Landon and I broke up. I knew that eventually, I would have to choose between saving him or saving someone else I cared about. He was trying to be the hero, and the hero always dies, I just didn't want him being the hero. Malivore wanted to take over his body, but before the necromance did we were able to get to the pit and used my blood along with a vampires blood since I'm not a full tribrid yet. So we saved Landon and destroyed Malivore.." Hope said.

"I guess I really miss a lot," he said letting out a breath, Hope just nodded her head in agreement

"I was wondering why Malivore spit you out, but then I realized that it doesn't like creatures that created it. So when the pit went down, you came out," Hope said

"I am just glad to be out of there," he said smiling softly at her. After about an hour of sparring, Sebastian and Hope decided to take a break. Sebastian sat on the ground looking down at his hands, before speaking up.

"So who is Elizabeth new suitor?" he asked looking up

"Uh Xander Woods, he's a werewolf. He's been at the school for about a year or so, they started hanging a month after they came back from the prison world. He helped us defeat dark Josie who was trying to kill Lizzie. Ever since then, they've just been together I guess," Hope explained, Sebastian just stayed quiet nodding his head Hope could see the pain in eyes.

"You want to go a couple more rounds?" She asked, getting up. Sebastian got up as well and got ready to attack Hope. After a couple more rounds they decided to call it quits for the night both needed to rest.


After his training session with Hope, Sebastian had gone to the deck. After his conversation with Hope, he just needed to be alone, far away from the school. So he walked aimlessly and ended up at the deck. It was peaceful and quiet, he sat on the bench and pulled out Cassandra's pendant. After using it to destroy the Croatoan, Mg had given it back to him. He had carried it with him, being the only piece that he had of Cassandra his reminder that he couldn't save her. He felt broken, that broke him and he would never be able to fix those shattered pieces. But being with Elizabeth it was slowly fixing him, it was starting to make him whole once again. But he lost her, and those pieces started to break all over again. The pendant was a reminder, a reminder of how broken he was. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice Lizzie coming up behind him.

"Oh sorry I didn't know there was anyone here," Lizzie said when she noticed Sebastian sitting on the bench

"Hello Elizabeth, what are you doing here?" Sebastian asked when he heard her voice

"Uh, I just came here to think, needed some time away. What about you?" Lizzie said walking closer to him.

"Same as you," he said turning to face her

"Tired of the school already?" she said letting out a puff of air

"Not at all, it's just a bit too much," he said making eye contact with her

"That's understandable," she said smiling softly at him "Well I'm just going I go let you think in peace," Lizzie said turning around to leave

"Would you like to join me?" Sebastian said not wanting her to leave

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to interrupt your thinking," she said looking at him in the eyes

"Take a seat," he said moving a bit to allow her to sit down "So Elizabeth what truly brings you out here?" he said turning his head to face her.

"I don't really know. I've had a lot on my mind these last couple of months. I've been feeling like something is missing like a part of me is gone. I don't know I can't really explain it," she said looking at him shaking her head a bit. Sebastian knew exactly what she felt, he was erased from her memories only leaving blank gaps. Lizzie looked down at his hands and noticed the pendant. "what's that?" she asked.

"Uh, this belonged to someone I loved a long time ago," Sebastian said holding up the pendant

"What happened to them?" She asked looking at him, she could see the pain in his eyes

"She died, and I was unable to save her," Sebastian said looking down at the pendant

"I'm so sorry for what happened, it must be hard losing someone and not being able to save them," she said placing her hand over his trying to comfort him, she could hear the pain in his voice. Sebastian smiled softly at her, she didn't know his past and only knew one piece of a much larger puzzle, and yet she comforted him. They both looked up and made eye contact, her breathing quickened as she felt the space between them getting smaller. They both leaned in, her eyes flickering to his lips. It was like a pull, just pulling her in more to him. She didn't know what it was but something was pulling her towards him. Before their lips touched, Lizzie pulled away. She couldn't do anything because she was with Xander and she loved him and she didn't even know Sebastian. But for some reason, there was a pull, something pulling her towards him.

"I'm sorry I can't," Lizzie said pulling away and getting up to leave. Sebastian didn't say anything, he just let her walk away. She was with someone else and he couldn't get in the way of that, she would have to choose and he wasn't going to force her into a decision. Lizzie left Sebastian sitting there on the bench. She had almost kissed him and didn't understand why. They had barely met but something was pulling her towards him. But she couldn't, she couldn't because she was with Xander and she loved him. As Lizzie walked back to the school, all she thought about was Sebastian's lips so close to hers to the point they almost touched. Snap out of it Lizzie, you can't. You're with Xander who you love and had sex with not that long ago, she thought to herself. On her way to her room, she debated to herself whether she was going to tell Xander or not. But then came to the conclusion that she wasn't because nothing happened but she was going to tell Hope because she needed some advice. Once she got to her room Lizzie went to bed and fell asleep, she was going to have to figure out what she was going to do.


Authors note: Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter is going to be kinda interesting since Sebastian and Xander will officially meet and after what happened with him and Lizzie, things are about to get awkward and interesting. Also sorry for the crappy explanation of how Malivore was destroyed but I just wanted to close that storyline.
