《Home | The Originals》Chapter 88: 5 years later

(Please stop asking me to update, I've spent my time trying to find a job and you guys demanding for another chapter kinda puts stress on me, so here I am. I'm also skipping some scenes :p)
"Do you have to go?" Hope, Angel, Maddox, Eric, Nicholas, Hunter, Dove, and Henrik all whinier at the same time, begging for Hayley and Klaus.
"We won't be gone for long." Klaus said as he rubs Nicholas head since he was more closer to Klaus.
Over the past 5 years Klaus and Hayley have been able to get a cure to save Freya and found 6 of the 7 werewolf's to cure Kol and Elijah. To say the kids miss their mother was an understatement. They all have the urge to be reunited with Phoenix once again and they know they'll have to be patient to get that dream. Hunter, and Nicholas were a tiny bit jealous that Hope gets to have both parents here with her.
Hayley put her hands on her hips as she stare at all of the toddlers. "We will be back very, very, soon." Hayley hugged Hope so she can hear what she had to say next clearly. "I'll call you every night before bed, okay? In the meantime, you listen to Mary. Deal?" Hayley put two fingers up to her lips, kissed it, and held it up waiting for Hope to do the same.
Hope kissed her two fingers and locked them with Hayley's, "Deal."
Klaus bent down to his seven kids and each one gave him a tight hug. "Behave yourselves. Okay?" He pointed at each one of them. "I don't want to have to worry about you guys while me and Hayley are trying to bring back your mother and the rest of our family." Klaus smiles down at his kids adoring them to their fullest. "Goodbye my little warriors."
Klaus went over to Hope and bent down to hug her as well, "stay safe my little wolf. We'll be back soon." Klaus kissed her forehead then set her back down on the ground.
All the kids held each other hands as they watch their parents walk away from them. "All ways and forever" They whispered.
~~~
After Hayley had captured the Malraux werewolf and brought her to a abandoned warehouse where the sleeping Mikaelson's all lay, Klaus took it upon himself to drain her of her blood using the same technique he did with the doppelganger, but before he could, Hayley stop him wanting to gain her trust and persuade her to give them her blood.

The sound of the werewolf struggling filled Klaus and Hayley's ears but only Klaus had a smile on his face.
"Relax. We're not your enemy. If I left you where you were, you'd be dead already." Hayley said as casually as she could.
"Let me guess, we're on the run from vampires? You both have the same stink they do." Keelin said.
"Well, luckily for me, my girl likes my smell." Klaus said as he turns around to face her. Hayley unnoticeably rolled her eyes. "We are a special type of supernatural. We're hybrids. Half-vampire, half-werewolf." Klaus explained.
Hayley turned around looking at Keelin with a bit of sass. "And considering that I saved your ass, you should show me some respect."
"How do I know you weren't the one that led them to me?" Keelin questioned them.
Hayley turned back around. "Does it matter? They know who you are and they want you dead. The only way to survive is to do exactly what I tell you.
"And besides, love. If we wanted you dead you would have been a long time ago.
"It's not like I have a choice." Keelin said. Hayley pulled out a machine and Keelin got a bit afraid of what will happen to her. "Hey, look, I don't know what kind of pervy stuff you guys are into, but I am not that kind of girl." Keelin said.
Klaus smiles to himself as he repeats what Keelin had just said. He is thinking about all of the times when him and Phoenix had spiced up their sex life.
"This is a device to extract your venom. And before you ask, yes, it will hurt." Hayley grabbed the plastics sheet off of the four white coffins.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Keelin asked.
Hayley opened up the casket that has revealed a sleeping Freya. "I'm trying to save my family." Hayley answered. Klaus went over to Phoenix coffin and opened it. He stars longingly and lovingly at his fiancée wishing there were others ways to prevent her from being like this. Klaus rub Phoenix cheek softly before finally closing her coffin and putting up his wall like he has done for the past 5 years whenever someone ask about Phoenix.
Hayley turned back around to face Keelin. "Keelin, the people in there are dying. The only thing keeping them alive is a sleep spell, and the only one that can cure them is her." Hayley points to Freya. "She's a witch, and she left me instructions on how to wake her up early. The only thing I'm missing is your venom. Once she gets on her feet, I can give her the ingredients I got. And, with any luck, no one has to die." Hayley explained.

"So if I give you what you want . . . will you let me go?" Keelin said repeating the story Hayley just said.
Klaus came up beside Hayley. "You have our word."
~~~
"You got my venom. When do I get to go?" Keelin asked in a rush to hurry up and go home and be done with this day.
"As sim as we know it's works, Luv." Klaus said as Hayley handed him the venom.
"And when will that be?"
"Believe me, you'll know when you see it." Hayley answered.
"You have to wake up Sleeping Beauty, right? How you do that?" Keelin ask.
Klaus grabs the syringe, walks to Freya, and stab the syringe in her chest. He used a bit of force into the stab as payback for all the little arguments they had.
Freya gasped suddenly as soon as the needle went into her chest. She quickly sat up and looked at Klaus and Hayley.
"Freya. Are you okay?" Hayley asked as she went to her side.
Freya ignored it Hayley question as she pulled herself together. "Did you get the ingredients?" She asked instead. Both Hayley and Klaus nodded their head. "Good, I need to begin. If I can't turn all that into a cure . . . Elijah and Kol are going to die."
"Welcome back sister." Klaus said as he helps Freya out the coffin.
"That syringe hurt by the way." Freya commented making Klaus and Hayley laugh completely ignoring a confused Keelin.
~~~
"How much longer do we have?" Hayley asked Freya as the said girl finishes up the pentagram.
"Maybe an hour. Assuming they live that long." Freya answered as best she could. She got up and went to Hayley who was holding all of the seven werewolf venoms.
"Do you have everything you need?" Klaus asked.
Freya puts each venom behind seven candles as quickly and neatly as she could. "Venom from the seven packs, along with Klaus' blood. Infused by my magic and magnified by the Dark Objects. It's going to take all of my strength and more than a little luck, but . . . it should be enough to fashion a cure to save my brothers and wake up Phoenix."
"Should?" Hayley repeated. "What do you mean 'should?'" Hayley and Klaus turned their heads as they can hear cars approaching the warehouse. "We got company."
Keelin looked at Hayley fearfully. "Hayley, let me go, please. If it's vampires, they're gonna kill me."
"They must have been tracking her. Klaus, Hayley, I need more time." Freya said. Klaus and Hayley looked at each other coming with an agreement and whooshed away to deal with the approaching problem.
~~~
I woke up with a gasp as I felt something go through my abdomen. "You fucking bitch." I cursed out as the knife gets removed from my body.
"Language please." Elijah said as he fixes his suit. I sat up and look at him and Kol as they finish drinking a blood bag. Freya came over to me and handed me one as well and I quickly drink it all.
"Where are my kids? Or Klaus or Hayley?" I asked Freya.
"I don't know where you're children are, but I do know that Klaus and Hayley are fighting off a few vampires that way." Freya points to a door way and I can hear a few people screaming in pain.
Me and Elijah whooshed over to see two vampires all bloody with the intent to kill a very naked Hayley and Klaus. Elijah took one out while I took the other.
I grab the vampire and flashed my eyes at him. "Thank you for being my meal today." I said to him before I bit into his neck and sucked him dry of his blood. I pull away and rip his heart out and dropped it and the body to the ground.
I turn around and smiled as I finally see Klaus. He had blood all over his body and the fact that he is butt ass naked let's me know he has recently shifted into his wolf. He stared at me for a few seconds and then he whooshed towards me and brought me into a deep and powerful kiss.
I quickly responded to the kiss as I can feel him physically relaxed against me as we kiss.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
