《Home | The Originals》Chapter 13: Darkness

"Rebekah, why are you here?" I asked her as she walks in my store frustrated.
"Sophie got stabbed with a dark object and Elijah sent me here so I can get the herbs for her to slow the fever down." She said as she goes through my shelves.
"Oh, well have fun. I'll be in the back taking care of Angel since business is slow." I told her and she just continues with her search.

I came back to the mansion late at night just to see Marcel leaving. I furrowed my eyebrows and sped in the house in front of Hayley. "What was Marcel doing here?" I asked her.
"He wanted to come by the house to take a trip in memory lane. He also said that he wished me a happy pregnancy." She told me and I sigh in relief.
"Well, at least nothing worst happened other than him showing up." I said and she nodded her head. She walked towards me and start playing with Angel who was messing around with her rattle. I smile at the two just thinking Hayley will be a great mother when I felt something go threw my chest. I gasp in pain before I felt hands grab my head and twisted it, snapping my neck. Last thing I heard was my baby crying out for me as we was being dragged.
~~~
Elijah walks into the mansion before stopping in his place. He notices how eerily quiet it is. "Hayley." Elijah yelled out but received no answer. "Phoenix!" He yelled again only getting silence. Elijah gets his phone and dials Rebekah's number. "Good-bye means good-bye, Elijah." Rebekah said as she drives out of the city.
"Are they with you?" Elijah asked.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Rebekah asked.
"Hayley and Phoenix are gone. Where are they?" Elijah said.
"What?" Rebekah said shocked.
Klaus then walks into the room where Elijah was. Elijah turns around to see Klaus holding onto a rattle that he knows belongs to Angel. "Marcel was here." He told Elijah as he tried to keep his composure but you can see that he was worried about a certain mother and her daughter.

Renewal and Rebirth
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Interstellar travel. Life extension medicines. Advanced AI's All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology. She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make. Deep Dive VR had progressed and real digitization and uploading was now an option for those unable to use life-extension treatments. For all the science the Human race had developed, Jayden was forced to take a different path. She would be digitized and explore a new world. One where cultivation and dinosaurs blended together. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

Points of Light - An Oral History of the Collapse
Humanity endures. The phrase is not only an informal slogan of the reformed United Nations, but a rallying cry the world over. Even in the face of extermination, we struggled, we fought, and we endured. But just how close did we actually come? In our darkest hour, how many steps separated our species from oblivion? And are we even safe now? Were the mistakes made by earlier generations really so obvious? Or are they only so blatent when we look back with the advantage of hindsight? If so, what horrors might be staring us in the face even now that no one has the foresight to prevent? Drawn from thousands of interviews, as well as uncorrupted contemporary recordings and source documentation dating back to the early 2000s; Points of Light is a definative look at the last half century of upheaval, prosperity and carnage. It tells the tale of what happened, how it happened, who was responsible and most importantly, what we might be able to do to prevent it from happening again. This is a rewrite of a previously started fiction under a pen-name. Chapters will be updated every two days at 6:00 EST.
