Legacies - Lizzie Saltzman

Part 6 - Lizzie has an episode II

Next day

I was already in a foul mood because of what happened at the honour council election and what Penelope said afterwards to me.

It got worse when Jed told me that Hope is on the honour council. I got confused at first how she is on the council and decided to ask this to dad.

We were at the assembly hall. Dad was telling us about the council's proposals to make the school better.

I stand up and say you forgot to mention that Hope Mikaelson is on the council. Can you please explain how she got to be on the council? Because she is werewolf, witch and vampire side inactivated.

Hope says I am the tribrid one of my kind, I am the only one who can propose betterment for my kind.

I say we focus on inclusiveness of the species. We don't look at the differences. That's the most absurd thing I have ever heard.

Dad says Hope's correct Elizabeth.

I say did she come asking for the position or you offered her on your own?

Dad says that's not important Elizabeth.

I say it is important when rules are different for different students.

Hope says I went to him as this slipped his mind about who would voice my betterment.

I say all the factions would voice your betterment. I turn to dad and say by this logic of yours if in future I become a vampire which means that I would be a heretic and Josie isn't a heretic, would I get a seat on the council? As there would be no one voicing my betterment.

Dad says Elizabeth that doesn't mean for seat you would turn yourself.

Dad it's a hypothetical question I say.

Dad says I won't be able to offer you a seat because you are not stable.

I say I am not stable. I will show you what being unstable is like.

I began having an episode. Things started to fall down because of my magic. A storm comes and I start using magic on dad.

Hope came to stop me but I was faster and used my magic on her.

The witches began to chant which made me unconscious.

After a few hours

I woke up in my room. Dad says how are you feeling Elizabeth?

I say why are you asking me this as if you care? You are all concerned about Hope. You know giving her the seat in the council wasn't right but for her rules are different. You are a hypocrite. Leave me alone, why waste time on the unstable daughter.

Dad says I didn't mean that.

I say you said that in front of the entire school that I am not stable. You Of course mean it.

Dad says I am sending you to meet your mother and spend sometime with her.

I get happy that I would be meeting mom.

I say fine I will go because I get to be with mom.

Dad gives me the itinerary and leaves.

Josie says what were you doing Lizzie?

I say I was showing dad's double standards to everyone but seems like no one is willing to oppose dad's decision.

Josie says you are being out of control Lizzie.

I say I will be with mom, maybe then I would be okay.

Next day

I leave for the airport.

I arrive in France, my mom came to pick me up.

I was so happy to be with her.

After resting for a while, mom says your dad told me about you having your episodes constantly but I want to hear your side of the story Elizabeth.

I smile hearing that. She didn't judge me and was willing to give me a benefit of doubt.

I started telling her about what Rafael said, what happened at the game, after that, honour council elections, what Penelope said, people thinking about me, at the assembly hall. I told her everything except why I hate Hope Mikaelson so much.

Mom says you can't keep having these episodes, you could really hurt somebody. You don't want that do you?

I say I don't want to hurt anybody but my rage takes over completely.

Mom says I will teach you some techniques which were helpful for me. And I will talk to your dad to spend more time with you and Josie and that he should be careful in using words for you.

I say ok mom.

After a week

It was time to go back to the school. Mom says I will see you and Josie in the spring break.

I say bye mom. I will miss you.

Mom says I will miss you too. Bye.
