《Klaus's Pet》Chapter 43
Advertisement
Lorelei's POV:
Hope and I are walking through the Quarter around noon. I don't like being out during the day if I can avoid it but I'd like to spend some one on one time with her.
"Maybe we should frame it. You can hang it up wherever you want." I say
Hope had painted a beautiful piece of art. A meadow with blue skies with a butterfly perched on an a flower surrounded by grass.
Hope smiles.
"That sounds awesome! Maybe we can paint together later. We'd need to get you some paint brushes." Hope says as she moves out of the way for a man walking past
"I'll just borrow your Dad's. He's got really good ones." I say
We stop and check out a stand filled with jewelry. Hope's eyes catch sight of a golden sunflower necklace.
"Can I get this please?" She asks
"Sure honey." I say with a smile
I move my purse off my shoulder and grab my wallet. I'm skimming through my cash and ask how much but don't get a response.
I look up and she's gone.
"Hope?" I ask as I look around
I skim through passersby and the stands but I don't spot her.
She's gone.
Hayley's POV:
I walk into the compound off the street and take my jacket off. Lorelei and Klaus are arguing in the foyer. Klaus moves to walk away and Lorelei is right on his heels. I watch as he whips around and takes a step towards her. She backs up.
"Nik I can find her!" Lorelei insists
"You are the one who was supposed to watch her!" He snaps
"What's going on?" I ask walking over
"Someone took Hope." Klaus says
"What?" I demand

I can feel my heart start to race and a feeling of dread fills every bit of me.
My baby.
"We were in the Quarter and she wanted a necklace she had seen-" Lorelei begins to explain
"And a witch took her. One of Evelyn's henchmen." Klaus interrupts
"Nik I looked away for one minute!"
"They could've been in and out of there in the blink of an eye. You couldn't have known." Freya says walking quickly into the room
"Could you locate them?" Klaus asks
Tracking a witch can be a long shot but it never hurts to try.
Freya shakes her head.
"You're going to have to track them down the hard way. I'm going to stay here and work on breaking their cloaking spells." She says
Klaus turns to leave and Lorelei moves to follow.
"Nik this is my fault. Let me help!" She says
Klaus turns around and glares at her. He points to a chair.
"You will sit down and be silent. Hayley and I will track them down and you are going to stay here and stay put. Do I make myself clear?" He says
She opens her mouth to speak but doesn't.
"Klaus I'm going to need you here. I need your blood and if things get worse I'll need to channel someone who shares Hope's blood." Freya interjects
"I'm going out there to find my daughter!" Klaus argues
"Hayley and Lorelei can go. I need you here and we may need to come up with a backup plan in case this doesn't work." Freya says
Klaus turns his attention back to Lorelei and me.
"You will find whoever took her and you will make them pay."

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
