Room 515 - Thursday Morning

Somehow Liz managed to fall asleep given the events of the past couple of days. She didn't think she'd have a peaceful night's sleep and she was right.


Liz had just left for school that morning in early December. She hadn't gotten very far when she saw four students from her year nearby and instantly panic filled her. She started running and almost instantly they started chasing her.

"Hey freak!"

"Get her!"

"Get the freak!"

"You can't run from us freak!"

Liz desperately climbed onto the fence and she tried climbing it. Without warning the four teens had started throwing rocks at her, it didn't take long for them to hit her and she gasped in pain as she felt the impact. She sat down on the ground as she felt the cut made on her forehead from the rock. Suddenly her hands became engulfed in flames.

"Oh no, not again," Liz gasped as the flames spread along the fence that she had been sitting by, she stood up, the four teens stood back in disbelief as she desperately gazed at them.

"Help me!" she started screaming as the flames started to engulf her body, "help me somebody!" no response, "somebody help me!"

She stood there, screaming as the area around her caught fire. Within seconds the inferno exploded and it spread through the city block just as quickly as the inferno had exploded.


With a scream Liz awoke, gasping for breath. Trembling she got out her dream journal and made note of the nightmare, unable to stop herself from shaking as she wrote it down. No sooner had she gotten ready for the day did she drop to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably as she was unable to keep control of the emotions that she had supressed from the previous day.

Phoebe was walking to class when she passed by the room. She stopped, feeling something from there... and then she heard the crying.

She stood in front of the door for a long moment, biting her lip, and then she knocked on the door. No matter what head pain her powers were causing her, she couldn't just ignore someone crying like that.

Liz heard the knocking, from where she was on the floor she took a deep breath and she said in a shaky voice, "come in, the door's unlocked,". Steerpike had warned her yesterday about leaving her door unlocked but she really didn't care at that stage about someone wanting to hurt her. Someone had already done that.

When Phoebe saw the girl on the floor, she immeaditely went and kneeled at her side. She was whom all the pain and sadness was coming from right now. She gave her a soft smile. "What's wrong? What has happened?"

She couldn't stop what was happening around her, but maybe she could help someone else.

Liz whimpered softly as she tried to find a way to explain what was wrong, "it happened again," she knew that wasn't going to make much sense but that was the only way she could describe it.

Phoebe did waht she would do with anyone who was hurting. She reached out to gently stroke the girl's hair.

"You're scared," Phoebe said softly. "What has happened? Tell me how I can help?"

"No one can help," Liz trembled, "it's my fault that it's happening,"

Phoebe put an arm around her. "Considering where we are and how many people I know who can do things? never say that no one can help. I've been here two years and that was somehting that I came to learn very quickly." Her voice was gentle. "What is happening?"

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Liz was quiet as she tried calming down, she considered what she could say, "someone's trying to spread something untrue about me...", she hesitated, "I had one of my nightmares last night,"

Phoebe let out a breath. Could this have been the shocked and hurt face she had seen in her premonition the other morning?

"Okay, first thing is first. Who is trying to spread lies about you and what are the lies?"

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know who's trying to spread them, I'm not sure how many people have heard it and believed it," Liz said quietly, she hesitated before she continued, "they're about me setting fire to the Principal's Tower a couple of weeks ago," she stared at her hands, trying to stop more tears from falling.

Phoebe felt a surge of anger that had nothing to do with anything she was feeling from outside. Seeing how upset Liz was about all of this and the fear she was feeling made her want to hit someone. How anyone could... She took a deep breath. Her anger wouldn't help.

"Hey," she said softly. "Look at me. I believe you didn't do it. I haven't heard any rumours of the sort, but I do know the principal. She won't listen to rumours."

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Liz really wanted to believe that, but knowing her luck it would just be false hope, and there was another factor to consider in the matter "...it happened before," she whispered.

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2007-04-26 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Phoebe looked at her. "It doesn't matter what happened before you came here. All anyone cares about is what you do here. You started with a fresh slate." She smiled at her. "I know you didn't do it, would you like to know why I am so sure of this .. and why I'll stand up for you if you need someone in your corner?"

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Liz only just nodded in response, unable to think of anything to say.

Phoebe stroked her hair gently. "I'm a witch. I have premonitions and I'm an empath. My sisters are witches, too. So are my nephews. I know you're telling the truth." She nodded slightly. "Now, tell me what happened before and we'll see if we can find who's trying to cause you harm." She smiled at her. "By the way, my name is Phoebe, Phoebe Halliwell."

Liz was quiet for a few seconds before she replied, "I'm Liz Sherman,". She knew that this wasn't a really good idea given that her emotions were unstable but it was the only way that she could explain what happened. Raising one of her hands slightly she briefly summoned flames, not daring to hold them for not very long, "I couldn't control it..." she said softly, "I lost control," the flames disappeared.

Phoebe continued to stroke her hair. "You should meet my boyfriend, Liz. he does things with flame, too." She smiled. "Have you lost control of your flames since being here?"

"Only once," Liz said softly, "when I was abducted and experimented on by aliens...during the rescue, I ended up destroying the alien ship,"

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2007-04-26 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"I heard about the alien abductions. My best friend was taken during that." She looked at her. "It sounds like your subconscious was reacting to protect yourself in that situation, Liz."

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Liz nodded slightly, "my guardian said that my powers would sometimes react based on what I was feeling. There's been isolated incidents over the years but...nothing really terrible,"

"I know that my family's powers are often tied to our emotions, so it makes sense that other people with powers would have the same thing happen."

"I've been trying to control it through meditation but sometimes that's been difficult,"
sensethevisions: (Default)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2007-04-26 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I have a really hard time controlling mine... as in I can't. I can only imagine that yours has to be difficult sometimes, too."

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"It hasn't been easy," Liz said softly, "knowing that the pain and destruction I've caused is because I couldn't control it,"
sensethevisions: (Default)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2007-04-26 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's why you never give up and you keep doing your best to work on it." She said quietly. "Losing control doesn't make you a bad person or mean that it's going to be the end of anything good ever happening. It just means you need to find that strength and patience within yourself and keep trying -- no matter who makes it hard for you."

"It's sometimes difficult to remember that,"
sensethevisions: (Default)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2007-04-26 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's why you let your friends help remind you of that."

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"I guess so," Liz said softly.
sensethevisions: (Default)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2007-04-26 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Phoebe smiled. "I'll help. We'll see if we can find the rumour monger and we'll make sure that no one believes in them."

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Liz managed a small smile, "thank you," she said quietly.

"I don't take well to people being lied about... or being made to feel like you're feeling right now," she explained.

[identity profile] pyroliz.livejournal.com 2007-04-26 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Liz nodded slowly, "that means a lot to me," she said softly.

"I have a final in a few minutes that I need to go to, but if you need me? I'm in room 518/520 right down the hall from you."
