Epilogue
"Elizabeth, stop running away from me!"
Girlish giggles came from a nearby tree, when in a flash of pale blue, a weight jumped on his back. A smile crossed his lips as he felt his beautiful soulmate cling to his neck. Swinging her around to his front, Stefano cradled Liz in his arms, her arms still around his neck. Leaning down to softly kiss her sweet lips, Liz sighed into his body, the golden string between them glowing in their peripheral vision.
"I'm hungry," She pouted.
"Ok my lovely, let's go find some food."
"But only vegetarian! You know you promised Steffy!"
"Yes ok," He sighed. "But if I'm going to keep away from humans from now on, I think a bit of compensation is in order. Woodland animals stink. The only reason I'm doing this is to prove my love for you."
"And what compensation do you have in mind?" She giggled, suspecting her mind was already thinking down the same lines.
"This kind!" He exclaimed dropping her slowly to the carpet of leaves below them. The trees surrounding them, and the wind gently caressing her golden locks, that splayed like a halo around her head. Lowering his body down to hers, he immediately captured her lips with his and ran a hand up her thigh under the pale blue summer dress. Passion enraptured them both, and neither was worried as more and more items of clothing lay discarded around them.
An hour later, they lay in the leaves, arms wrapped around each other, each lost in their little world.
Liz had been forced to leave her home town, her family declaring her missing. She sent them a note explaining how she loved them but would never see them again. She still sometimes ran to their house and watched as her mother sat by her bedside, crying silently at a picture of her. Liz hadn't quite managed to get over the loss of her family, but she knew she could never return, she had to protect them from the Night World. If they died because of her... well she wouldn't be able to bare it.
Liz and Stefano went into hiding in the local mountain range, feeding off wolves and other such animals, Stefano teaching Liz how to be a vampire, and Liz convincing Stefano to turn "vegetarian" with her, so that they weren't to feed on humans.
And now, they were content. Happy with the situation they found themselves in, despite being a little bit cold, lying in the leaves as they were. But as long as they had each other, nothing could harm them.
Hi Guys, I'd just like to thank anyone who got this far, and apologise for anyone following the story and experienced of the break in the middle. I hope you don't mind the epilogue, but I thought it needed finishing where it did. So I've recently discovered Wattpad, I'm sure most of you already know about it, but if you didn't I highly recommend it. You can write stories that are your own, or you can publish in their fan fiction section. Hope you all are having a nice time. Till we meet again fanfictioners!
