《Home | The Originals》Chapter 58: Family is Everything
Advertisement
"What the bloody hell do you want?" I yelled into my phone as I give my kids their breakfast. I was extremely annoyed today.
"Are you still mad at me, love?" Niklaus asked me.
"Niklaus I have had it up to the bloody sky with you. There are a million things that I am mad at you for." I said to him as I put Eric down and moved onto Nicholas.
"Now you're just exaggerating things." He said.
"Which parent left their 7 children in a room full of hungry vampires? Which lover left their partner to fend for not only themselves but their kids as well?" I yelled making him not say a single thing. "I am also angry that you would leave your younger brother to die as well. He is your brother Niklaus. At the end of the day family should mean everything to the both of you. You got to understand that he didn't feel part of the family and was betrayed by each and every one of you. You should know a thing or two about how it feels when family betrays one another." I ranted to him before I hang up the call.

"Yes, Kol, how can I help you?" I asked him as I put the kids in their bassinets so they can take a nap.
"Davina and Aiden are going to the shop Lenore runs before my mother possessed her body. They are trying to rescue Marcel and Josh." Kol explained to me.
I sigh. "Alright then. I'll go help them bring them back since I'm going to assume they'll be stubborn and be running in blind." I said and hang up the phone.
~~~
Me, Davina and Aiden snuck into the back of the shop to see all the vampires unconscious. Kol was with Finn distracting him. Aiden spots Josh on the floor and immediately went to his aid.

Josh suddenly wakes and growls at Aiden making him step back. All the other vampires wake up as well and stare at us like food. We tried to make a run for it but Josh whooshed in our way keeping us in.
I grabbed Davina's hand then looked at her and she got what I was going to do. We chant and all the vampires fell down back into unconsciousness while Aiden picks up Josh over his shoulder. Once done they immediately leave while I hang back to see if Kol was doing fine.
I see Kol humanly run towards the back room I was in so I had to get out of the way and hide into the shadows.
I know Kol likes to play his tricks on his family. Like putting Rebekah into a different body or trying to make a dagger specifically for Niklaus but he loves his family. He just wants to be important enough that they care.
Well now he got that person. Me. I may be an only child but I know family love when I see it and I also seen what it's like to be betrayed by one of your own.
Finn walks in after Kol. "Seems your little friend Davina has absconded with one of my prisoners." Finn said.
"I didn't come for a fight." Kol said. I shine a light from my hand across Kol's face so he can notice me and he did, and he thankfully didn't stare at me for too long because that would let Finn know I was here as well. "That little witch asked me to be a distraction. She can be quite pushy when she wants to be, you know."
Finn scoffed at him before grabbing Kol by the back of his neck pulling him closer. "Don't you see? We were given a gift. Rebirth." Finn let's go of Kol but Kol held onto his arms breathing heavily. "Unfettered by vampirism. We were made clean. And all that was asked was a pittance in return and you could not even give that."

"Finn. You're angry. And when you're angry, you don't think straight. So just give me a chance—"
"You don't deserve another chance, Kol." Finn cuts him off. Finn puts his hands on both side of Kol's face. "So I'm going to give you the one thing I know you fear most. Death."
I almost gave myself away because I was about to gasp. He really hates his family to condemn one of his own to death like that. This is a first for me. I never met a family like this in all my life. Niklaus daggering his family was a bit odd but once I got to know him I understood it. He loves his family. Doesn't want them to leave in case one day Mikael had found them by theirselves and killed them so he daggers them and keeps them hidden until Mikael was dealt with. There could be many assumptions for Klaus' actions but this is the one I'm sticking with.
I closed my eyes and silently chant. I picture the necklace that Kol is wearing and buffed it up more. Finn doesn't notice but the necklace is glowing as it absorbed the curse Finn is trying to place. "I curse you to this body unable to jump to another. Over the next few days, I want you to contemplate what's to come. A meaningless, lonely death and the darkness to follow." Finn says then he finally takes his hands off Kol's chest letting me know he was done so I can stop chanting. "Clock starts now. Be sure to say your goodbyes. Go. Brother, I will not miss you." He said then he left the shop.
Once I know for sure Finn is truly gone I come out of hiding. Kol sees me and looks at me expectedly. "Give me the necklace." I told him.
Kol unhooks the necklace and gazes at how it keeps glowing on and off. "What's it doing?" He asked me as he drops it gently in my hands.
"It's obviously glowing." I said making him role his eyes as I smile. "While he was trying to curse you I had to make the necklace stronger than I made it before. The curse is now stuck into this necklace and if I want someone dead I'll just put this on them and take the spell off so whoever is wearing it will now be cursed."
"Why are you so hell bent on protecting me?" Kol asks.
"Like I said. You deserve to be part of this family just as much as any of your siblings. And besides any of them would most likely do the same thing you have done given the same situation. You have been betrayed so you out of anyone deserve to feel what it's like to finally have someone be there for you. You're also what I imagine a little brother is like." I said making him smile down at me. Did I forget to mention that he is like 3 feet taller than me?
Kol pulls me into a hug. "Thank you." He whispers to me.
"You are family to me now. I would do this for anybody. Except Finn." I said making him laugh. "But now we got to fake your death and hopefully you can live your life away from this broken family." I said making him nod his head.
(A/N: You guys don't understand. Kol is like the love of my fantasy life. I will not let ANYTHING happen to him.)

Turn-Based Engineer
When James woke up five years before, he did not expect to end up in this weird, new world. Here, he found a reality filled with queer rules and magic beyond his imagination. Despite all this, he clung to his peaceful roots that he had been brought up with. With his knowledge, he could have changed the world. However, he did not wish to become some reckless adventurer or fearsome ruler; instead, he only sought to protect his loved ones and live a happy life. Sometimes though, the call of adventure forces itself upon even those who desperately wish to refuse. Warning: This story has multiple POVs. (But by chapter 15, it kind of narrows down onto James) This work is (as of now) being co-written by Zalex and Entelechy where Zalex has previously written the story, and Entelechy edits/adds pieces.

Realm Of Assola
The story follows Aron, a young beggar. Having lived in a ruined village for as long as he knew of himself and with the lack of food combined with harsh conditions, he isn't happy with his current life. With the war on the horizon, their village being close to the border between kingdoms. And an increased number of people, soldiers going through the village. Things are bound to change. Realm Of Assola is a big world, that will be revealed as the young beggar Aron gets on his feet, and expands his horizons. With the kingdom that allows slavery, and the increasing amount of casualties. The demand for them increased. But will that turn out to be a good thing? There will be classes, spells, magic, and more. About classes, they will be somewhat close to LitRPG but the focus won't be on them. They will be used as means, not the focus. You could say that it has a slow start, but it is more that Arons progress will be somewhat slow. And it takes him some time to adapt and find a way to improve. Daily updates for the first fifteen or so chapters. At that point, I will most likely have to reduce it. To something more manageable. So I decided on a schedule, every day at 18:00 CET new chapter should be up.

Grim Beginnings
For most, ghosts and monsters were fantasy. For Tessa Byrne-Reyes, they were a constant in her daily life as a reaper. The legendary gods and creatures of mythology were, to her, historical figures. From a young age, she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, possessing what she saw as a curse but what her family considered a gift. It was her birthright, to use her abilities to guide the deceased to the afterlife of an eternity in peace or in torment. Her classmates viewed her as "the fainting girl" who would pass out in the middle of a lesson with inexplicable injuries. She experienced each death in the town of Belmont Falls, from the mundane to the gruesome. A gunshot wound in the gut, broken ribs, her heart ceasing to beat for several minutes. No one understood what caused these incidents but over the years, she gained a reputation for being abnormal. While Tessa is the freak of Belmont Falls, Fin Belmont, the charming rebel and son of the richest man in town, is her polar opposite. Knowing each other for years but never saying more than a dozen words between them, one night changes everything, thrusting them into each other's unfamiliar and daunting worlds. Together, with the help of her best friend/his ex-girlfriend Elena, they begin to unravel secrets about their town and their pasts, learning that some secrets are better left buried and grudges can be held for centuries.
