《Home | The Originals》Chapter 8: The Search Continues
Advertisement
I was in the living room eating cereal with Angel laying on her back as she looks around the room and Rebekah sitting in a couch across from me on a laptop searching for something when Klaus walks in. "Please, sister, tell me you're not still at it with the internet search. How does one begin anyway, just type in "anonymous attic"" Klaus said as he pours himself a drink.
"Someone has to find Elijah, even if I have to search every bloody attic in New Orleans." Rebekah said.
"Like looking for a needle in a rather large pile of needles." Klaus mocked.
"I remember details about the attic Marcel took me to. There were shutters on the windows behind Elijah's coffin." Rebekah informed him and that makes me stop mid chew as I think of the only place that could perfectly describe what she is looking for. "Well, that should narrow it down immensely. Myself, I prefer actual strategy as opposed to mind-numbing labor." Klaus said and he moves to sit on the couch where I am. He gently picks Angel up and took her spot on the couch up close next to me. "Marcel's delay in returning our brother makes me suspect he's no longer in charge of the situation. If Davina's loyalty to Marcel is strained, perhaps the young witch will be open to discussing a new alliance." Klaus said.
"As usual, your power grabs are more important than rescuing your brother." Rebekah said staring at him in disappointment.
"I prefer to think of it as killing two birds with one stone—Rob Marcel of his secret weapon, bring our brother home." Klaus said.
I let out a sigh. "If you want to find where Davina is hiding your brother, then check st. Anne's. That's the only place where Marcel will put her." I told Rebekah and she looks at me. "How do you know where she is?" She asked me. "I was born and raised here. I know this city like the back of my hand. Also because that's where I told Marcel to put her." I said and took Angel out of Klaus arms so I can give her a bath and change her diaper.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.

Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!
Jackson Ripper is transported with his class to another world. As one would expect, they are asked to fight in a pending war, much to Jackson's distain. But, a month after arriving he is separated from the rest of his classmates and loses an arm and a leg. Worse yet, the person who mutilated him clings to his side. Now, he begins travelling with this walking natural disaster in a strange new world. Author notes: This is a story I started writing roughly two years ago (roughly 2017) on a whim and started using it to improve my writing skills. As such, it's mostly wish fulfillment based loosely on anime, light/web novels and comics. But wait, why post my strange, gruesome dream world on the internet? Because, I have a goal of one day writing something worth publishing. But to reach that goal, I need criticism, suggestion and advice. Plus it feels like a waste to keep this beauty all to myself. I currently plan to release one chapter a week, on Saturday afternoon or evening.
