Isa leaned forward and pressed her lips against his, she couldn't resist the urge anymore and of course Rai, was happy to return the kiss. Even going as far as deepening it, tangling his hands in her hair.

Suddenly everything felt right, for Isa like nothing else mattered but the two of them in that moment.

Eventually they pulled apart so that Isa could breathe because she still needs to do that. "I'm never ever letting you go again." Rai breathed out.

She kissed him again, "good because I don't want you to."

Caroline was grinning at Isa when she finally got home that night, as soon as Isa was in the house, Caroline pulled her into her room. "okay so tell me everything."

Isa laughed, and so she told the blonde everything well leaving out the supernatural parts because she didn't know Caroline was a vampire yet, the blonde just wasn't sure how to tell her cousin about it.

Caroline squealed, "oh my god.... this is exactly what you need babes."

Isa shook her head, "I'm not going argue with that one Care, because honestly I feel more normal than I have in a long time with Rai."

Caroline squealed again, "I have a feeling you guys are going to be so adorable together.... it's just something about the way he looks at you."

Isa just smiled at her cousin, "Mom said we were a little insufferable when we first started dating back in Phoenix, but that it was cute."

Caroline laughed, "oh I have a feeling it's going to be a lot worse than that here, just a feeling that I have."

Isa just shrugged and spent a couple more hours talking to Caroline before she decided to get some sleep since tomorrow was going to be her first day as a senior at Mystic Falls high school.

***

Rai got home from dropping Isa off at her aunt's house where she was staying, and he couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

He wasn't in his room two minutes before Rebekah came in and plopped down on his bed. "and just where have you been my darling twin?"

He rolled his eyes at the look she was giving him. "just out Bex."

She smirked at him, "soooo who is she? the girl from the grill, that you left with?"

He rolled his eyes again, "you'll get to meet her tomorrow at school Bex... but that's her, the girl I was telling you about."

The blonde original squealed "oh my god! so she actually ended up exactly where you were?"

"yeah I guess it was fates way of saying 'you can't hide from her forever so I'm going to put her right back in your life.' but she knows everything now."

Rebekah grinned at him, "oh that's so cute, I'm happy for you Rai... you deserve this."

"Thanks Bex, but I want to try and get some sleep."

Rebekah nodded "okay, I'll leave you to that Rai." then she walks out of his room and back into her own room, she truly was happy for her twin, if not a little envious because she wanted that too, but what she didn't know was that through Isa her new future sister in law, that she would get the love that she'd always dreamed about her whole life.

***

Isa decided to call her dad before she went to bed and tell him that everything was going well. "hey dad." she said as soon as he answers the phone.

"Hey Bells, how is it with Liz and Caroline?"

"Things are going pretty well actually, and I met someone that I thought I'd never see again."

He sat forward in his desk as he was still at work, but he would always answer when his daughter called no matter what "and who is that Bella?"

She smiled "Rai, turns out his family is from here and when he moved from Phoenix he moved back here and we've been talking today."

Charlie smiled as well, he had always liked Rai from the moment he met him, "well that's good to hear Bells, I'm glad you're settling in and everything."

The brunette nodded still smiling "I think I'm going to start going by Isa again, it just feels more natural than Bella and I don't know why but I'm going to roll with it, I mean Care, Rai and aunt Liz all call me that anyway so I think I'll give it a shot and it's what I went by in Phoenix and when I first moved in with you." she rolled her eyes, stupid Edward messing with her head and making her feel like she had to go by Bella instead with his stupid allure.

He smiled a little wider at that, she was getting back to herself already, only being gone for a short time and she was already, going back to her old self and Charlie was very happy about that. "alright then, but I'm still calling you Bells okay? because it's what I've always called you."

Isa laughed, "that's fine dad." they talked for a little while longer before Isa decided it was time to get some sleep for her first day of school the next day. "love you dad, I'll talk to you again soon."

"love you too Bells." they hung up and Isa got ready for bed.

Isa woke up to the sound of her alarm, she got up and took a shower and got dressed, she kept it simple for her first day at this school, a pair of jeans, sneakers and a black shirt.

She met Caroline downstairs and they had breakfast Liz had already left for work, and the blonde vampire was driving her cousin to school.

Once they were ready the tow climbed into Caroline's car and she started driving to school.

Rai had told Rebekah that he would meet her in their first class and shoed her away not wanting her to meet Isa first thing he wanted to prepare the girl more for meeting his twin sister before he introduced them. 

Isa smiled seeing Rai waiting for her once they pulled into the school parking lot and Caroline smiled as well.

The Mikaelson male immediately wrapped his arm around Isa's shoulders when they walked up to him. "Hi."

She grinned at him, "Hi." he leaned down and pecked her on the lips, which Isa was happy to return, which made Caroline squeal at them.

"oh my god you two are adorable." the blonde said as she walked into the school with the two of them following her, Caroline was still going to show her cousin around the school even if Rai was going to be right there with the brunette.

The three walked into the office to get Isa's schedule situated and Rai may or may not have discreetly compelled the lady to give Isa the same schedule as him.

Which of course Isa wasn't going to mind that at all, and Caroline was in almost all of the same classes as Rai so there was like two classes that the two cousins wouldn't have together which was fine with both of them.

The receptionist gave Isa her schedule, "here you go dear, everything is all set up and I hope that enjoy our little town."

Isa took the paper, "thank you so much, Mrs. Johnson." she read over the paper as they walked out, Rai smirked slightly at her, "you have the same schedule as me."

Caroline grabbed the paper, "oooh let me see." she read over it, "okay so we only have two classes that we won't be on together but you'll have Rai so I assume you'll be fine in those two classes without me." Caroline teased.

Isa rolled her eyes at the blonde, "ha ha Care very funny, but yes I will be fine in those two classes."

They were walking to History class and Rai was telling Isa more about his sister, and how she was going to meet her in this class since she had the same schedule as Rai did as well.

Caroline was walking a little in front of them giving them their space, "just a fair warning before you meet Bex, Isa she can be a bit mean, but really what she wants is a friend, that's not going to betray her or use her."

Isa nodded at him, "okay got it, she sounds a little bit like someone I knew in Forks, just from a few of the things you've told me about her before." Rebekah kind of reminds her of Rosalie in a way obviously they were different but the whole mean girl thing with them seems similar and Isa thinks they would actually get along if they met and this is coming from her not even having met Rebekah yet and solely on the things Rai had told her about his sister.  "but I think we'll be friends, at least I hope so, that would be a little bit awkward if not."

Rai laughed, but he knows she's right but he also knew that Rebekah knew that Isa was important to him and she would give her a chance for him. "I think you'll get along just fine Isa."

note:
Isa meets Rebekah in the next chapter and Raiella or IsaRai (still working on the ship name for them lol) are officially back together and all that jazz. Yeah it's a little fast but like I said in the.last chapter I don't do slow burns very well plus they're soulmates so...

Who do you think I'm planning on pairing Bekah with? 😈😈🤭. 

Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter 😁.
