Sebastian had seen the face of his great love. A face he never thought he would be able to see ever again. He had been stuck in a coffin for centuries, unable to make contact with anyone, until now.
"Cassandra?" He whispered making Lizzie turn around.
"Um...no I think you have me confused for someone else," Lizzie said looking at hi confused and intrigued.
"Pardon me, you just look like someone I used to know," Sebastian said, studying his surroundings.
"So are you new here? I thought I knew all the incoming students," Lizzie said curiously
"This is a school of some sort?" He asked
"Yeah, this is the Salvatore School, named after Damon and Stefan Salvatore," she explained as Sebastian looked around
"So you're not a student?"
"No," he said softly
"Then who are you?" she asked wanting to know more about him. Before he could answer he started to lose his balance and stumbled to his side taking hold of one of the trees in the old mill.
"Are you okay? Do you want to sit down?" she asked as she moved closer to him to help him, but he stopped her.
"No, no I'm fine, you should keep your distance," He said extending his arm to stop her from getting close to him. He was still extremely weak even though he had a bit of blood to wake him up from his slumber, it was still not enough.
"I'm not going to hurt you," Lizzie said smiling a bit and moving a step closer to him.
"That's not what I'm afraid of," He said his eyes looking at her
"Sorry I should go," He then said turning around to leave.
"Uh...wait, what's your name?" Lizzie asked before he could leave
"Sebastian," He responded
"I'm Lizzie," she said back
"It's good to meet you Elizabeth," he said smiling at her
"Elizabeth sounds too boring," Lizzie said blushing and looking down at her feet
"I don't think it sounds boring at all," Sebastian said before he left. He didn't understand why Elizabeth looked like Cassandra. He needed to find out the truth, but first, he needed to regain control of his body.
Lizzie was left intrigued by Sebastian. She didn't know who he was, but she was drawn to him. It was strange, but she needed to find out who he was and where he came from. She asked Mg to help her set up for a spell that she said it was for an assignment, but it was really a locator spell to try and find Sebastian.
Later that night
Lizzie had set up the old mill to try different locator spells and see which one would lead her to Sebastian. She had already tried a lot of them and none of them seemed to lead her to him. They were all just dead ends. She hoped that this last one would bring results.
"Picture the face of the person and then touch the map. If they're found within its boundaries then the map will glow," Lizzie said as she placed her hands on the map spread out on the table. She waited a couple of seconds but nothing. She had done several spells to look for Sebastian and all of them ended up failing. Suddenly she was started by a voice, it was Sebastian.
"Hello, Elizabeth," Sebastian said appearing from behind her
"You again," Lizzie said acting as if she wasn't just looking for him.
"Ah, you're a witch," He said noticing the grimoire on the table
"Yeah, and you are clearly something. You've crossed the magical barrier of this school twice now. So what are you?" Lizzie said crossing her arms wanting answers. If only she knew the truth, Sebastian thought as he sends her a smirk.
"What are you looking for?" He asked avoiding the question
"Nothing this...I am just waiting for a friend, who's a guy, he'll be here any moment," Lizzie said stumbling over her own words. She looked away from Sebastian cursing herself for what she said.
"You haven't answered any of my questions yet? If you aren't a student then what are you doing here?" She asked watching him closely
"I came to see you because I have a request," Sebastian said moving to the other side of where Lizzie was.
"Which is?" She asked curiously
"Stop looking for me," He said. Sebastian wanted to know more about Lizzie but at the same time, he couldn't allow himself to get to close to her.
"I'm...I'm not," She said
"You're drawn to me, I can sense it. I'm drawn to you too, but you shouldn't let me get to close," He explained
"And why is that?" Lizzie said in a soft voice. The more he told her to stay away the more she wanted to know him.
"Let's just say my life is complicated," Sebastian said not wanting to tell her anything more. He moved closer to her, their faces inches away from one another. Lizzie looked into his eyes, and then her eyes fell to his lips. Sebastian gave her a satisfied smirk, before speaking again.
"Goodbye, Elizabeth," Sebastian said before turning around to leave.
"Uh," was the only thing that left Lizzie's mouth. She didn't want him to leave, she wanting him to stay to learn more about him.
"By the way, you shouldn't have to wait around for anyone," He said looking at her and giving her a smile before making his way out of the old mill.
Sebastian had left Lizzie speechless, nobody had that effect on her. He was right about one thing, she was drawn to him and the more she thought about him the stronger it got. There was something about him that intrigued her. His whole mysterious, dangerous, damage vide be had made her want him more. She obviously had a type.
After Sebastian had gotten out of Lizzie's head, all he wanted to do is learn more about her. He had warned her to not get to close to him, out of fear of hurting her. But she was intoxicating, and he needed her. She was drawn to her, and it wasn't just the fact that she looked like Cassandra it was something else, he couldn't really explain what it was. He wanted to learn who she was, why she looked like Cassandra. There were just many questions he needed to an answer too.
Cassandra spent over a hundred years looking for Sebastian. She tried every locator available but there was no luck. Everything she tried was a dead end. After not finding anything she gave up, living her life in isolation. She has lost the one person she loved. It made her cold, it turned her deadly. Soon she would be able to see Sebastian again. Everything was going to change.
