Rewriting the stars / Lizzie Saltzman

1 - mutual contempt

" Children, please...." Alaric's plea seemed to go in one ear and out the other.

"She started ok!"

"oh, how dare you ?!"

"How dare I ?! You literally made my hair pink and with clown makeup because I called you Cruela De vil! This is childish even for you, Saltzman!"

"You embarrassed me in front of everyone at lunch! I have a right to defend myself!"

Alaric sighed and looked back and forth between His daughter and Hope's brother. The two of them sat across from him with murderous looks at each other.

"Dad, you have to do something!" His daughter looks at him with a tearful expression.

"Yes! Please do it! I'm not going to walk another minute with that ridiculous look on my face!" Henrik exclaims with an angry expression, which was funny because of the clown makeup on his face.

Alaric looked at each other and sighed.

"Well, you guys leave me no choice but that."

( Time after )

"are you sure this is a good idea?" Alaric question.

Emma shrugs a little

"I hope so. Trapped together, they can, at last, perhaps resolve their differences," she replies.

Alaric kept writing in his notebook on the table.

Alaric looked to the side "I wouldn't be so sure."

/ in another place ...

"This is your fault!" She screams as she points a finger at him, Henrik (Henry) Mikaelson expressed indignation on his face and almost growls when he responds.

"My fault ?! If you hadn't done that stupid spell, we wouldn't be here!" He says. The two were forced to clean the old mill, and they could not leave until 5 pm.

It was only eleven o'clock.

"You offended me in front of everyone at school!"

"I called you Cruela de vil because you provoked my sister! Don't give me the idea of playing the innocent!"

"She deserved it!"

Henry growled "look, you know what? I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you about this." He turns his back to her and starts to sweep.

Lizzie grits her teeth and does the same.

After a few hours of cleaning. Lizzie ended up dropping the necklace that her mother, Caroline, gave her for her birthday.

Right below her was Henry.

The necklace fell with a slight thump on his head "hey!" He looks up, where a certain Lizzie Saltzman smiled

"What's your problem, Saltzman ?! Are you going to throw things at me now ?!"

She laughs and leans her elbows on the wooden fence "Oh stop complaining, you are a Trybrid, you will survive." She smirks. "Now throw me my necklace, will you?"

He grumbles and picks up the necklace from the floor, then smirks and looks at her. "This necklace?" He asks innocently.

Lizzie's smile slipped and she clenched her jaw, holding the fence tightly and an irritated expression emerged "If you don't give it back to me right now I'm going to-" the wax wood gave way and Lizzie screamed when it fell.

Henry panicked but thought quickly and raised his arms. Lizzie fell on them and he took a step back before the rest of the old banister fell and sent some dust up. They both cough a little, Lizzei is still in his arms and they breathe a sigh of relief. And then, the two face each other, for a moment, everything seemed to freeze. Henry looked at the girl's blue eyes in his arms and resisted when her look almost went down to her lips. He swallowed and clenched his jaw. No, He definitely shouldn't be looking and he definitely shouldn't be thinking about what it would be like ... No, he won't think about it. It cannot and should not.

But he saw clearly when her eyes went down to his lips and then to his eyes again.

Then the two hear a slight noise and look at Henry's fisted hand, which, in addition to supporting Lizzie's legs, held the necklace. Lizzie quickly grabs the necklace and leaves Henry's arms, turning on her back and walking "Good reflexes, Mikaelson. But, I'm not going to clean up this mess." He hears the scratching in her throat, as if his voice had gone hoarse.

" You're welcome ." He responds and sighs, picking up the broom on the floor and starting to sweep again.

They spent hours there, cleaning or standing somewhere in the mill, at a reasonable distance from each other.

Until the time to leave came and the two, despite being in a bad mood, went side by side to the border of the barrier. Only they came face to face with the barrier again and it didn't make sense, It's already 5 hours and a minute.

"What?," Henry holds out his hand and the barrier is still in place, looks back at Lizzie, who raises her hands in surrender.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, Kylo ren. Do you really think I want to spend more time with you? " She says and rolls her eyes, crossing her arms.

Henry stopped himself from giving a nasty answer, clenched his teeth and let out an angry sigh through his nose.

"we have to find a way out. can't you just suck the magic out of the barrier?" He asks .

Lizzei looks at him as if he were an idiot, he was not. "Don't you think I haven't tried it already?" She looks back at the barrier "Emma turned on the barrier magic from the outside, so I can't suck magic from that side and I can't cast spells to break. She did something to block me . "

"Why are we still here? Emma said she would let us go at 5 and that is it." 5 hours and 3 minutes now. He looked away from the watch on his wrist when Alyssa appears in front of them in an astral projection, smiling.

Henry uncrossed his arms and growled, his eyes turning yellow "Alyssa, what did you do?"

"oh no big deal, I just made the permanent barrier until tomorrow. So, it's good to have brought blankets to spend the night there, lovebirds." She smiles, mocking.

Lizzie narrowed her eyes next to Henry "Get us out of here if you don't want to be hairless tomorrow,your evil mulan. " It was a threat, and Henry did not doubt for a second that she would comply.

She laughed "You can try, Lizzie. But you don't scare me that much, so ... until tomorrow ..." She disappeared.

Lizzie and Henry looked at each other, wondering why Alyssa chang would lock them there. It wasn't common for Alyssa to do anything against them that wasn't just an insult or provocation, so there's only one witch who could have persuaded her to do it in exchange for something, someone who would benefit from Lizzie outside of school.

They sigh and looked ahead, reaching mutual understanding

"Penélope."
