Legacies - Lizzie Saltzman

Part 37 - Apologies II

Bio dad says Hope what are you saying? And Kol and Finn are bad influence so are Finn's children.

Alec says nice way to talk about the person who helped in the delivery of Lizzie and Josie.

Klaus says utter a word about Kol and Finn and I would kill you. Finn is the most human of us all who didn't do bloodshed.

Bio dad says but she has her episodes. Her mental illness in which she has killed numerous people and children would have done it too.

Kol says Finn and her children are innocent while your thinking is low Alaric Saltzman.

Finn says you are right Alaric Saltzman. I have killed numerous innocent people during my episodes. But at that time we didn't know I had mental health issues. My mother tried her best to help me. Kol did his best to help me. I wanted to be better and I kept on fighting it and will continue to do so till I can because I have strength from my family. Battling mental illness isn't easy. It requires strength and support and you gave neither to Lizzie. What you said about my children killing people, well for your information Kol, me and Davina have made sure they don't live with that guilt. I am glad I didn't send my children to the school under your reign otherwise their lives would have been in ruins as you ruined Lizzie and Josie's life.

Kol says you really need to change your thinking. Having mental illness isn't a defect. A person cannot control his brain chemistry. Having mental health issues just means that you have some unique challenges in front of you. That doesn't mean that we should cast them out or they don't deserve love.

Mom says I didn't expect this from you Ric that you think about mental illness like  having it is a crime. Kol's right you cannot control your brain chemistry. You should ashamed of yourself Ric. Now enough drama you had already created. I want to make this clear to everyone having mental illness isn't a crime. I won't tolerate anyone bullying another person for anything including mental illness. It's a very sensitive issue which needs to dealt with care and not looked down upon. Okay.

Students say ok miss C.

Mom says okay everyone is dismissed now.

Students begin to leave.

Bio dad says you took my daughter's from me Caroline. They mine and Jo's.

I say how dare you throw such an accusation at her. She would never do that and deep down you know it too.

Josie says this is the result of your actions. We aren't fighting anymore for your attention, love, care and affection. Jo accepted that she is just DNA but Caroline is our mom.

I say you need to get over yourself bio dad.

He just scoffs and leaves from there.

We turn to mom and we hug her.

I say you didn't steal us from our bio dad. He was never there for us always busy with Hope. It was bound to happen someday.

Josie says yes mom, please don't feel guilty. His accusations are baseless.

Gabriel says Kol, Finn we wanted to talk to you both.

Kol says now what you lot have to say? Having more assumptions about me and Finn?

Elijah says we wanted to apologise to you both.

Klaus says we are sorry for not understanding you both and be there for you guys. You were right, we didn't see losing magic as a big deal.

Gabriel says we failed you. After losing Jace and Freya I didn't want to waste my time in practising magic. I tried to impose my belief to you Finn which was wrong. I didn't realise that I was turning my back on you. But you remained true to yourself and encouraged Kol to follow his own path. Despite of so many discouragements you both followed your heart. I am proud of you both for that.

Rebekah says Kol I was jealous when you had gotten magic because then you would get to spend more time with mother and Finn. I wanted to be a witch but sadly I wasn't. I am sorry I betrayed you both in 1914. I was being selfish and was only thinking about myself. When you both died, I was still thinking about myself and my desire to be human.

Freya says I am sorry Finn I couldn't understand you. And Kol I don't know if you can but please forgive me for what I did to you and Davina. You were right, I was more loyal to the others then I was to you two because I thought you two were being a threat to our family in 1914. I thought the same when I was united with our family.

Kol says thanks for the apologies. It would take some time to forgive you all as it's a hurt of 1,000 years. I hope you can understand.

Elijah says we understand. We just want to start over with you all.

Finn says it would take time to forget everything and get used to you all.

Gabriel says take your time. We want to be a part of your lives and of course our niece and nephews lives too.

Jace says if mom and uncle Kol are willing to give you a chance, then we are also willing to give you a chance. It would just take time that we become a family.

Alec and Emery says Jace is right.

Niklaus says thank you for giving us a second chance. We would make sure you don't regret it.
