Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Talk

I started to hear rumours during second period....not all lizzie's rumour but I was all everyone could seem to talk about. I try not to think to much about what the rumours were or how bad but thats better I need to be focused on a hobby. Art is usually by hobby but art is so....subjective, for example my dad was a brilliant painter in my opinion others might not think so. And then everyone goes out of there way to bash my dead father. Fun times!

I sat through the entire day just having work piled I couldn't even go to lunch 

Caroline came in every couple of Hours to check on me put I pretended no to notice her. I really wasn't in the mood to talk about anything

At six in the afternoon Lizzie busts down my door and drops a fastfood bag on my desk

I perk up as soon as I smell the greasy goodness 

"Now that I have gotten your attention" She takes off my headphones

"Hey, you can't-"

"I will eat your burger" She cuts in

"Fine, what is it" I roll my eyes

"I thought you said you weren't going to be mopey hopey or lock yourself in your room"

"SHUT UP THIS IS ALL SO DIFFICULT AND DON'T EVEN TRY TO ACT LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU DO NOT, I AM ALLOWED TO TAKE SOMETIME TO CATCH UP AND NO ONE ESSPECIALLY YOU GETS TO SAY ANYTHING" I yell then take a bite of my burger 

"You finished with your meltdown" She says setting a milkshake on my desk

"Yes" I say grabbing my milkshake and gulping down the frosty goodness

"Do you want to talk about it" She eats her fries

"Yes and no" I take larger bites of my burger

"Would a cookie change your mind" She waves the cookie in front of me and then sets it on the table 

I look at the melty chocolatey heaven

"You are the worst" I snatch the cookie and take huge bites

"Nice to see you got you appetite back" 

"Yah turns out not being tortured by the ghost of your ancient grandmother does that" I lick the chocolate off of my fingers

"On that note, what happened, I could tell something happened to Josie and you, you were completely out of it" She looks at me the same way Caroline did the other night

"Well after I murdered that hiker-"I start

"Yeah I remember how I messed up that excuse, but what did actually happen " She chuckles

"I was on a picnic with Josie and I saw this blue light I asked Josie if she saw it and she said no, so I told her I was going to go to the bathroom but instead I followed the light deeper and deeper into the woods, she asked me about my decision I basically told her to piss off and she got mad and then I tried to murder her ghost which sound pretty stupid now but then it seemed like a good idea on getting rid of her, it was like waking up from a fever dream and then i just felt covered in blood and all I saw was red on my hands, on my clothes, and on the ground. The first thing I thought was'what have I done', I was so scared I didn't want to involve Josie but I guess I called her and she was horrified, She tried to act like she wasn't but I could see the fear in her eyes, she just held me and told me she was going to call my family for help. I just stared at the body, I picked up her phone and on the lockscreen I saw what looked like her family two healthy boys and a husband they all were smiling, I couldn't look at the photo I loathed myself for what I took from that woman and her family, I tried going through her wallet trying to feel better about what I did instead it made me feel worse. I remember just being stuck in my head it was like I couldn't breathe or think about anything but the body. I don't remember how I got home or what happened it was like the past couple of months were all some hellish nightmare my brain is trying not to remember but I remember how I layed there everyday hoping that when I woke up Esther would be gone and I would be happy and I could be with Josie again and we would sit in the yard and paint...and talk and laugh....I could hear her crying outside my door I wanted to be ok for her but I thought I was losing my mind sometimes...Esther would make me see things and hear things that weren't there and it scared me so much...I-I-I couldn't s-sleep, I co-ouldn't eat and one day I couldn't go o-on it was torturing Josie and me.  So I tried to suck it up and pretend I was okay and that failed with me having a massive breakdown and almost destroying the house and everyone, and I remember getting consumed by the magic it burned but I welcomed the burn and let it tear me apart, I don't know where I was but I remember seeing my mom and my dad ,my uncle elijah, jackson, mary and so many others they were all at my childhood house and they were talking and laughing. They were happy to see me.......and the hugged me and we talked about almost everything, and then everthing fell apart my mother turned to ash and my father and uncle turned to rotting corpses, I ran to go find jackson, I checked everywhere for him and then I tripped over his decapitated head, My eyes wouldn't realease it until a burning tree came down next to me and I ran trying to get out of the woods and then everything just went back and I hoped and prayed I'd live just long enough to say goodbye to Josie or to hold her hand and apologize.........then my eyes opened and I saw Josie she was crying and so was I apparently, and she hugged me and everything felt better and she just stood by my side for the rest of the time I was there she didn't take her eyes off of me.............The only reason I haven't found the time to talk to her is because I fear that i've traumatized her for life"

Lizzie is speechless there were tears dripping down her face

"Ugh this is why I don't tell people my life story" I slam my head down on my desk "Just go, I can't handle more people crying because of me,"

Lizzie gets up from the chair and walks back to her room for curfew
