This chapter is dealing with Lilith's side of the argument. It explains a little more about what it's like for her as Danny's daughter.
"Leave me alone!" Lilith shouted angrily. Lilith had quite the temper which she inherited from her father. "It's me," Sam called gently through the door. "Oh… come in mom," Lilith replied, already calmer. Sam opened the door and entered her daughter's messy room. Lilith was sitting on her bed staring at her knees. Sam sat next to her daughter and waited for Lilith to explain. "I guess dad told you what happened," Lilith remarked after a few moments of silence. "Nope. I told him to go out for a bit. I thought you'd rather explain everything to me," Sam corrected. Lilith looked up from her knees and looked at her mother with watery eyes. "He fought a ghost in front of everyone at school. He promised he wouldn't go to my school as Danny Phantom," Lilith explained softly. Sam smiled weakly at her daughter. "He was just protecting you Lilith. You know that. He probably was only thinking about you being in danger when he broke his promise," Sam began. Lilith shook her head. "You don't understand," Lilith murmured forlornly.
Sam frowned at her daughter. Sam and Danny didn't fully understand why their daughter hated being seen with Danny Phantom. Lilith had never confided in them how she felt. Sam's heart broke as she spotted the tears silently falling from Lilith's face. "Lilith, why don't you explain to me what I don't understand?" Sam prompted softly. Lilith sniffed and wiped the tears off her cheek. Sam was beginning to think that Lilith wasn't going to answer her when Lilith took a steadying breath. "Why don't I have ghost powers?" Lilith whispered. Sam's eyes widened in shock at her daughter's question.
In truth, no one knew why Lilith didn't have any ghost powers. Her parents had been very grateful for this when she was a toddler as they could both keep up with her. However they did think originally that she might get some when she got older but they were beginning to think that Lilith would never get any ghost powers after all. Sam remembered Jazz's theories when they realised that Lilith didn't have powers.
"Well, Auntie Jazz thought there were a few reasons. She thought that it could be because you only inherited dad's human half. Or it could be because your dad wasn't born with his powers but got them because of the accident in your grandparents' lab. It could be because your father is only half ghost and so there wasn't enough ghost energy for you to inherit and have powers of your own," Sam explained gently. Lilith refused to look at her mother.
"Why do you ask?" Sam prompted. She realised that this went deeper than wondering why she didn't have powers. Lilith sniffed again. "Because I'm supposed to have powers. I'm Danny Phantom's daughter. I'm a disappointment," Lilith whispered so softly that Sam had to strain her ears to hear. Sam blinked in shock. "Lilith you know your father and I don't feel that way," Sam assured her quickly. Lilith nodded sullenly. "You guys might not care… but everyone else does. Whenever a new kid learns that my dad is Danny Phantom… they always ask what powers I have. When I tell them I don't have any, I can see that they're disappointed and don't want to talk to me any longer. Some even asked me if I was adopted," Lilith confided to her mother for the first time. Lilith could usually shrug off these feelings but she knew what everyone would be talking about for the next few days. She knew even her friends wanted to talk about the fight and so didn't want to be around her. Her father had never broken his promise before because there had never been a ghost attack at school. He had fought ghosts around her before such as at the movies or at the mall or even the Nasty Burger. Sam hugged her daughter to her. "Lilith, you are special and one day they'll all see that," she whispered in Lilith's ear. Sam made a mental note to ask Danny to have a little talk with Lilith later.
I know a bit of a boring chapter, but I feel that it's an important chapter for understanding Lilith's character.
So anyway, until the next chapter.
