(Short chapter. If you don't know what KOS mean, google it.)
~Phoenix POV~
Me and Klaus hid in a room as we here footsteps being dragged our way. We step out into the hallway and Rebekah stopped walking as she stares at us.
"Nik. Phoenix, it isn't true." She pleaded for us to believe her but I was having none of it.
"I want to believe you, sister. But your face tells a different story." Nik said.
Rebekah gasp in fear as she rushed to turn around and limp herself away from us urgently. Me and Nik calmly walk after. "You can not hide from us, Rebekah!" I yelled out but she continues to limp herself away. "Nor can you run." I mocked.
"This ends now." Nik said as she turns a corner. We continue to follow Rebekah as she goes down the stairs. Her loud panting leading us to some basement. Me and Nik slowly walk down the stairs to see she was just standing there. I guess she accidentally cornered herself in a dead end. "Tired of running?" Nik asked her.
"I know how much you enjoy the chase. I'd sooner deny you the pleasure." Rebekah breathes out tiredly.
"Don't worry. We'll find our pleasure in other ways." I said.
Nik held the blade up to Rebekah. "No more "daggered in a box" for you. Trust me, sister, you'll long for what the dagger offered. This..." Nik held the blade up, "will be far less merciful. How to describe exactly what this blade does?"
"You don't have to do this." Rebekah said.
"After Nik plunges the blade into your heart, you will be immobilized, imprisoned in a state of raw, inescapable anguish. Time loses all meaning. It's not unlike a living hell, which I find rather fitting given your treachery." I said with hate in my eyes.

"Then do it. If that's what you really want." Rebekah said accepting her fate.
"Are we skipping the part where you beg for mercy? For forgiveness? Because I was really looking forward to that." Nik said as he got close to Rebekah.
"I'll pass. I know better than to think it would do me any good." She said.
"Really?" I asked. "At least make your punishment interesting. Usually you would get daggered for your treachery but this time it's different." Nik had walked back to stand next to me. "I wonder what you're father would think of you surrendering without a fight?" I taunted.
My comment set something off for Rebekah because she sped to me and tried to attack me, but I grabbed her by the neck and throw her through a wall behind her. She lays there in pain as she tries to recover herself.
Rebekah got back up and ran towards Nik with a pipe in her hand. She swings it against his face making drop down on one knee. Nik smirks to himself as he speeds back onto his feet. Rebekah went to hit him again with the pipe but Nik blocked her attack and she ended up dropping her weapon.
Nik lifts Rebekah up in the air then let's her body drop onto the ground. A vampire whoosh came down here with us then someone put their hands on both my shoulders. I magically shove them away from me.
I look over to see Marcel who was now lying on the floor. "Well, look who decided to show up and save their damsel in distress. Now that you're here, Rebekah will finally feel what I felt when I had to watch my daughter die." I said as I stalk over to him.

"Phoenix, it was my idea to summon Mikael. If you're gonna hurt anyone it should be me." Rebekah said bringing my attention to her.
"Such loyalty to your beloved." I said as I stalked towards her and me and Nik squatted down so we can be closer. "How useful it would have been 100 years ago."
"You know...if you had offered me even a fraction of the same, I wouldn't have to do this." Nik said.
Nik raises his arm back about to plunge the blade inside Rebekah. But before it could even reach her, Elijah guides the blade into Nik then snaps my neck.

8 83So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
