After her encounter with Sebastian, Lizzie needed to learn more about him, so she hit the books. She really didn't know anything about him aside from his name, and Lizzie didn't know where to start looking. She grabbed a book from the library, Imperium Monstrum, a book about monsters. Considering the influx of monsters they have had it wasn't that much of a stretch. It was also the annual flag football game against Mystic Falls, but she wasn't much interested in that, her mind was preoccupied with Sebastian. Lizzie was in her room reading the book when MG came in.
"Why aren't you ready yet? We have a game," Mg said, seeing that Lizzie didn't have her jersey on.
"I'm sitting this one out," Lizzie said simply not bothering to give an explanation
"Why? Is this about this Sebastian dude you're crushing on?" he responded. Lizzie raised her head at the mention of Sebastian's name.
"If you must know, yes. He's definitely something supernatural and considering that monsters have been showing up it's not that crazy. So I'm not playing," Lizzie said
"Lizzie, come on. Professor Vardemus made Landon QB1 we are doomed without you," Mg said trying to convince Lizzie to play.
"I'm still not playing," She said not convinced
"How about I help you with your research?" Mg asked
"Fine, but I'm still not playing," Lizzie said making her looking back at Mg then back at her book. Mg left her room leaving Lizzie to her research.
Later That Day
Lizzie was sitting the sidelines, reading the monster book. She was being serious when she said she wasn't going to play. Mg kept trying to convince her to play but she wasn't budging. Her mind was preoccupied with Sebastian. He was on her mind all the time, there was just something about him, something she couldn't explain. Mg had been helping her go through the books trying to come up with something he might be. But he still had to play. The team was losing by a lot, it as bad.
"Lizzie play now, we are getting our ass kicked," Mg said
"I already said no," Lizzie said, she was getting tired of Mg trying to convince her to play.
"Lizzie, I promise you we'll find out what this Sebastian dude is, but right now just help us beat them," Mg said as Lizzie turned her head around. That was when Lizzie saw Sebastian. She smiled seeing him there, then an idea popped in her head.
"Do I look pretty when I play quarterback?" Lizzie asked looking at Mg
"You are the hottest things I've ever seen," Mg said, Lizzie put her book down and went over to the players. She started giving them instructions on what to do. She turned to see if Sebastian was looking at her and he was. Sebastian waved at her and Lizzie waved back. Mg noticed this exchange and turned to see who Lizzie waved at but he turned around there was nobody there. Mg looked at Lizzie confused. They started playing the game, it looked like they actually had a chance of winning but when Lizzie saw Sebastian was leaving she went after him, leaving the team on its own. Mg saw that Lizzie was heading towards the woods so he followed her.
Sebastian knew he shouldn't have shown up to see her. But he just couldn't help himself. It was like he was with Cassandra all over again, even though he knew it wasn't really her. He also needed Lizzie to wake up. He had to charm her first in order to get her to do what he wanted. He also wanted to know why they looked so similar, there had to be some sort of explanation. That was the first thing he had to do when he woke up, find out the truth about Elizabeth Saltzman. Lizzie had followed Sebastian to the tunnels underneath the school.
"Sebastian?" Lizzie spoke out
"Are you following me Elizabeth?" He asked stopping
"I told you most people call me Lizzie," She responded
"Well I'm not most people, which is why I told you we cannot go down this path," he shot back
"But you never explained why. And then you showed up at the game and I'm sorry but that is a typical dude move," Lizzie said, which earned a laugh from Sebastian
"I had to see you again, you remind me of someone I used to know," he said walking closer to her.
"Yea you've told me that, who is this person I remind you of?" Lizzie asked curiously.
"She was someone special, she was beautiful and different," Sebastian said remembering Cassandra
"Is that line supposed to work on me?" Lizzie asked raising an eyebrow
"Either way it is a line we cannot cross," He said turning back around to leave
"Why no?" She asked wanting to know the reason he kept trying to push her away
"Because you bewitch me, Elizabeth," He said turning to face her, he was completely enchanted by her.
"Well duh, I'm a witch," She said in a soft voice. Sebastian walked closer to her studying her actions. It seemed that every time he told her to stay away from him it only drew her closer. As Sebastian walked closer to her, Lizzie walked backward, she didn't know if he was a monster yet.
"Are you a monster?" Lizzie asked
"Yes, I am a vampire, creature of the night," He said showing her his vampire face. In return, Lizzie laughed at this revelation.
"Oh thank god, I thought you were like a Kraken or something," She said smiling at him.
"I don't understand," He said confused at her actions. Usually, when people found out his true nature they ran in fear.
"Some of my best friends are vampires, nothing new," Lizzie said looking at his eyes
"Are we just to be friends then?" Sebastian asked raising an eyebrow
"No, because friends don't get to do this," She said leaning in closer to him. When their lips were about to touch they heard footsteps nearing. Lizzie went to check who was there and saw Mg.
"What the hell are you doing here Mg?" Lizzie asked annoyed
"I came to check on you," Mg said, he was worried about her.
"Why I'm fine, I'm with Sebastian," Lizzie said turning around to face Sebastian but he was no longer there.
"You made him leave," Lizzie said, she was about to kiss Sebastian and if it wasn't for Mg they would've kissed.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked once again
"Yes, Mg I'm fine," Lizzie said leaving the tunnels.
Lizzie had finally learned what Sebastian was, a vampire. He was a magnet that kept pulling her in, wanting more. She was falling for him, hard. And for the first time in a long time, he didn't see her craziness, he just saw her for her. She was happy, but how long would it last. Happiness has a tendency of being slipping away quickly, especially in Mystic Falls. You never know what's around the corner lurking.
