《Home | The Originals》Chapter 12: Vampire Book Club
Advertisement
Me and Rebekah walk in the room to see Elijah and Klaus, sitting across from each other reading a book with a dead body sitting on the table between them. "Is this some type of reunion you guys do every time a dagger is taken out of your chest?" I asked Rebekah.
"Is this some vampire book club?" Rebekah asked her two brothers.
"Reading edifies the mind, sister. Isn't that right, Elijah?" Klaus asked his brother taking his eyes off the book he was reading to stare at said person.
"Yes. That's quite right, Niklaus." Elijah agreed not taking his eyes off the book he is reading.
"So why is there a body here?" I asked them.
"This is a peace offering." Elijah said waving his hand at the corpse like he is brushing off Klaus attempts at gaining forgiveness.
"I presumed, after so much time desiccating in a coffin, that my big brother might be a bit peckish." Klaus said reading his book but still has the audacity to smile innocently.
"So I explained to my little brother that forgiveness cannot be bought. I'd simply prefer to see a change in behavior that indicates contrition and personal growth," Elijah looks up from his book and points at the body, "not this nonsense."
"I couldn't very well let her go to waste, could I?" Klaus said and it was silent after that.
"Well, since Elijah doesn't want what you call a peace offering, can I eat her? I haven't fed since you recruited me to protect Hayley and ever since then, things have been more painful than it should be," I asked looking down at Klaus and he nodded his head. "Thanks, Nik." I said then sped over to the body then outside the house.

Once I was done I walk back inside the house to see Elijah in his was out with Nik soon after. "Oh, before you leave." I said causing the two brothers to stop. I vamp speed to my room and right back in front of them holding on to my grimoire. "This is my grimoire. I would come with you to help Davina control her magic, but I have a daughter to take care of." I put the book in his hands. "You can give this to her before or after Davina unlinked Sophie from Hayley." I told Elijah smiling before I left them there in the hallway.

Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.
