《Klaus's Pet》Chapter 30

Hayley's POV:
A few days later I walk into the foyer of the compound with Hope. I spot four corpses scattered around the ground. I whip Hope around so she can't see the mess and I give her to Rebekah.
"Go with Auntie Bex for a little bit." I say
"But mom-" She begins
She's exhausted and I don't blame her. I've been trying to keep her out of the house, away from the chaos that Lorelei is creating.
Rebekah sees the expression on my face and turns to her niece.
"We can go shopping!" Rebekah tells her
"Awesome! Bye Mom!" She says and gives me a hug
Then the two walk off.
I step through the gate to spot Lorelei.
"Lorelei!" I call out
She's draining another body.
I gesture to the mess.
"What the hell? I can't have my daughter seeing this!" I snap angrily
"That doesn't sound like my problem." She says
"What if Hope had seen this?"
She rolls her eyes and the man she was feeding on falls to the ground dead.
I take my phone out and she speeds over and grabs my wrist.
"I don't think so." She says eyes glowing
I pry her arm off me and shove her out of the way.
Before I can react she slams me into the wall. I headbutt her and she yells and stumbles back, holding her nose. I speed behind her and snap her neck. I catch her, place her on the ground and pick up my phone up off the floor where it had fallen.
I click the contact and put the phone to my ear.
"Klaus we have a problem."
Lorelei's POV:
When I open my eyes, I'm in my bedroom. Nik is leaning on the doorway.

"Good. You're up." He says and walks over to me
I rub my neck. I look outside and see that it's nighttime.
How long was I out?
"What do you want?" I growl
He sits in front of me on the bed.
"I told you I wouldn't step in unless necessary. You killed 5 people and left them for my daughter to find and that's a problem." He says
I let out a groan.
I'm really not in the mood for a lecture.
I move the blankets off me, stand and head for the doorway.
But I can't leave.
There's an invisible wall keeping me in.
Barrier spell.
Damn it Freya!
"You're staying in here so you can either come sit down willingly or I'll make you." Nik says
"You can't just lock me up whenever you feel like it Nik!" I snap
"I can and I will when you are being careless and dangerous." He says
"We're all dangerous! A family of hybrids and Original vampires! Your daughter will be the most dangerous out of anyone here! How about you pay more attention to her and less about me?" I hiss
He stands up suddenly and walks over to me.
"You are the one dropping bodies everywhere. I'm not worried about my daughter I'm worried about you. Hope has a lot of power yes but I'm not worried about her future as much as I am about yours. Now sit down."
I don't move.
He's pissed off, sure but I don't care.
I don't want to be in here.
"Come sit down." He says looking into my eyes, compelling me
I move and sit down.
He sits down in front of me and takes a few deep breaths.
Klaus's POV:
"I understand why you turned off your emotions but as of now you are a threat to yourself and this family and I will have none of it. Until you turn it back on you will not leave this room."

"No!" She argues
She's angry. Maybe if I push harder...
"Oh it's even worse than that love. You won't feel the sun on your face or talk to those you love or hear the jazz music outside. The room will be sound proof. You can't hear anything in or out." I say
"You'll regret this." She says her voice cold
I get up and walk away as she screams behind me. The door shuts.
Silence.
I hate that it had to come to this but she left me no choice.

8 87Gateway
An archaeologist by the name of Søren Quinn wakes up elsewhere after boarding a plane for Iceland. Now he has to come to terms with a significant loss of recent memory and his apparent death and rebirth, provided he can survive the rigors of the Tutorial on Gateway Station and whatever waits for him after the Tutorial. Updates. When I can... sorry. Author's Note. Gateway is a portal/isekai style GameLit novel, but it has two main lead characters and will eventually have a small cast of minor lead characters to support them. There will be small elements of base building / kingdom management added as well over time, but they will not be the focus. Gateway really is a slow burn that takes some time to get going unfortunately, but I hope you find it's worth the wait. Thank you! p.s. Book One is finally done (only needed one more chapter unfortunately...) but I'm off hiatus now and will be starting on Book Two right away!
8 132The Lord of Staves
"Where do we go when we die?" "To Drasil, of course!" You all know the story by now. Protagonist dies and gets sent to another fantasy world with video game mechanics and proceeds to either stomp everyone at the get-go due to how strong he already is, or ascend to god-hood at blinding speed because he got some kind of ability that enable him to advance faster than everyone else. This isn't a story about that. In fact, our protagonist doesn't even have combat abilities! Follow his story as he fend himself off against entire nations as a mere craftsman. ---------- Old Synopsis ---------- Follow the adventures of a young(?) man, who after dying from being run over by a train, finds himself reincarnated into a world of magic, mystical creatures and the all too familiar game mechanics. Unfortunately for him, he will have to make do with the class randomly chosen for him.
8 130Journey West 5000

Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
