Legacies - Lizzie Saltzman

Part 2 - Lizzie has an episode I

Josie and me were waiting for dad to bring the new student. I don't understand why Hope gets to go on missions with him while we don't get the option to help. He always prefers Hope for everything. I don't like it one bit. He shows favouritism towards Hope and when I voice that I become the bad person and he asks me to be more understanding like Josie.

Actually whenever I voice something people say that I am creating a new drama or being selfish. If Josie does the same thing then she is doing the right thing or putting others happiness over her own, she is being selfless. My mom has taught me an important lesson that you can scream till you can to a person that you have changed or you are not what they think but they will continue to think about as they want. They aren't going to change their thinking based on what you say or show. They will continue to think what they perceive of you. So don't bother about the strangers.

I have listened her lessons and took it to heart. What about my father who thinks about me the same way as strangers.

Dad, Hope came with two students. He introduced us to one boy Rafael and the other one Landon and asked us to give them a tour of the school while Hope stood superiorly as if we are beneath her. I just wanted to smack her head into the car's windscreen.

We started giving the tour and we came to sit outdoor watching students play football using their powers. I tried to impress him but got nervous and embarrassed myself while he rudely said to me he has made a point of staying clear of girls like me. I felt so hurt and humiliated that he doesn't even know me, how can he say such a thing to me. He like the others judged me that too wrongly without even giving me a chance. He started to go away and my magic went haywire and I attacked him. He was looking very scared and I loved that feeling. MG, Josie and other students came in between but I was boiling in anger and I left towards the kitchen.

I exploded into the kitchen, my magic went haywire and freakouts were happening, things were being thrown here and there, breaking down.

Meanwhile

Dad was as usual busy with training Hope. Sometimes I feel like he loves Hope more than he loves me and Josie.

Anyways Josie told him about my episode. He came running while Hope stood there making faces and staring at Josie who dared to interrupt her training session.

At the kitchen

I was still destroying the kitchen when dad came. I was going to impale him with a knife. He says Elizabeth and I said hi Daddy and then I fainted.

After a few hours

I woke up to find myself in my room. I was feeling so tired and exhausted from the episode. Dad came after talking with mom. He said that we will do some meditating exercises to help me during my episodes.

Although I wasn't having a positive feeling about doing meditation but was still looking forward for it as I would have his full attention.

We went to his room and started doing meditation. It was going on well. I was really enjoying his attention. I asked him if he thinks that I am broken. He denied it completely and blamed it on my witchy ancestors. That didn't help because he wasn't acknowledging that I have mental illness which creates unique challenges for me.

I didn't voice that instead I said that Josie doesn't have freakouts. He portrayed Josie the perfect Disney Princess that she spends caring more about other people's feelings indicating that I should do it too. But when I try people ignore my efforts and start passing judgements about me.

Suddenly the Bane of my existence Hope Mikaelson came. I mean can't she let me have my dad's attention once. She started saying about a monster attacking and that she has trapped it inside dad's cabin.

He obviously went after his golden child, prodigal daughter.

I said Hope couldn't you have bothered someone else. Here something important is going on.

Dad says Elizabeth be nice. He always defends her like when she created a hybrid for selfish reasons, he stood for her and fought for her.

I says dad we are not finished yet, you can't go in the middle of it.

Dad says it's important, you keep practicing I will be back.

I say to hell with you being back. You do this all the time. You always choose Hope over me and Josie.

Dad says that's not true Elizabeth

I says yes, it is. I am leaving, you go be with your favourite golden child Hope Mikaelson who lied for 7 years while at this school and you helped her. You put the lives of so many children in danger. And now making the excuse of protecting children of this school.
Keep your pathetic exercises with yourself or better show them to your prodigal daughter since you two keep no secrets from each other although you dad don't tell it to your own daughters.

Dad says Elizabeth but I leave from there angrily.

Hope says is everything ok?

Dad says Elizabeth is having a moment. I will ask Josie to look after her and meet you in my cabin.

I was going to my room. On the way to my room, my magic went haywire and things begin to flow and fall down. People were getting out of my way seeing my expression and magic going haywire.

As I reach my and Josie's room, I snapped and started smashing stuff. Josie came in to see me crying and sitting on the floor.

Josie dad told me that you might have another episode. It's going to be okay Lizzie.

I say nothing is going to be okay till dad prefers Hope over us. Everything was going great, I was enjoying his attention and then I had to come to reality. That dad would go to Hope, deal with her problem first and cast me aside like trash.

Josie says that's not the case Lizzie. He had to go because there was a monster threatening the lives of numerous students of the school.

I says you don't get it either. Leave me be.

Josie says are you sure?

I say yes. You are making it worse.
