《Home | The Originals》Chapter 91: Avenge Us
Advertisement
(As an apology for being MIA for months here is another episode for you guys. Good news, while I have been gone, I've been trying to find a job so I can start working and ya girl finally landed a job)
I feel off. Besides what happened last night at the ritual I should be fine, but I don't feel like it. It's like my stomach all of a sudden feels empty like a pit of black hole begging to be filled with something, anything.
I felt my jacket get pulled and I looked down at Angel as she stares up at me. "When are we leaving?" She asked.
I pat her head before gently shoving my finger into her hair. "Soon once everyone gathered all the things they need." I answered.
Angel didn't say anything for a while as she just stare into my eyes. "Why are your eyes blue?" She suddenly ask me.
I completely froze when she asked me that. I whoosh to a mirror on a wall to see my eyes are back to their baby blue color. I look back towards Angel and she had a confused look on her face as she stares at me. "Uh, I was using my magic to change my eye color, love. It's just for fun." I quickly lied. "Why don't you go find your siblings and keep them entertained before we leave." I encouraged her and she did exactly as I said.
~~~
I went to my shop that's been closed down and got all the things I needed to purify me. I believe we never truly stopped the Hollow and now it's anchored to not just me, but to Nik and Marcel as well.
I was walking down the street back to the Compound and I sense someone walking right next to me. I looked down to see it was Rose and I completely stop my movement.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her with a pinch of fear in my tone of voice.
"Is it so wrong to see my mother again?" She asked me.

"But you moved on. You found peace." I rebuttal.
"Just because I found peace doesn't mean I don't want revenge." She said. I ignored her and continued walking. "Let's not forget I died for someone who has been treating you like you're nothing and that same person took your home away from you. Shouldn't you just end him once and for all and reclaim your home?" Rose asked.
"I've made enough enemies in my lifetime and I don't need anymore. I have a family to protect and their is no more room for more enemies." I said as I picked up the pace but she kept up with me.
"And yet those enemies have yet to attack because they know how strong you are. Yes I have more siblings but that only cause you to have more weaknesses. You should do something to ensure our family stay safe forever." Rose said.
"I don't have to listen to this nonsense. Just because I have so many kids doesn't mean it will be easier to get to me. It will be a cold day in hell before someone touches them." I stopped walking to look down at Rose. "Now leave me alone." I threatened.
Rose smiles up at me. "Where else can I go mom. I'm only inside your head." She said. A random person walked in front of Rose before she disappeared from my sight. I shook my head and continued on my way back to the Compound.
~~~
I finally made it to the Compound but I stopped once again as I saw Eric's face staring straight at me. I didn't move, just waiting to see what he would do. You would think after seeing your first live again, you would be jumping for joy. But not me. I accepted the fact that he is dead, just like Rose.
"I know you're just the Hollow, you're not real." I said keeping my ground but the hair on the back of my neck stood extremely up when he started to walk towards me.

"If I wasn't real I wouldn't be able to do this." Eric grabbed the back of my head and kissed me. I didn't kiss back. The fact that it's him and that he is dead was never going to leave my mind.
I pushed him away and shook my head. "No. Don't do that. I'm engaged and your dead." I said as tears start to form in my eyes.
"Just because I'm dead and you've moved on doesn't mean I'll ever stop loving you." Eric said as he moved closer to me again. "All I want is for you to admit that you still love me and to avenge me." He said and places my hand over his heart.
I stare back at him angrily. "I don't want to avenge you, just move on!" I scream as I unconsciously push my hand into his chest and rip his heart out.
I quickly dropped the heart as I watch Eric's body fall to the floor. What did I do? I went down to my knees and pushed Eric on his back only to move back away from it. That was not Eric. Just a random person.
~~~
I made my way into me and Klaus rooms and locked the door so I won't be interrupted. Before I could began I see Klaus walk in from the bathroom. "What are you doing love?" He asked me.
"I am trying to purify me and if it works I can purify you and Marcel. So we can be safe from the Hollow." I said.
I started chanting only to come up with that it didn't work. "It didn't work." I said out loud. "It just wants me to kill Marcel."
Klaus grabbed my head. "We have to get rid of the Hollow and if it means killing Marcel then that's exactly what you're going to do. And when that happens, just remember that you promised me that you will fight for us, for me, for our family." Nik said and I nodded my head. "I'll be right by your side, helping you." He told me before I blinked my eyes and all of a sudden he wasn't there anymore. I didn't really question the fact that I didn't feel his hands leave my face. I just got up and whooshed away trying to find Marcel and end my suffering.
~~~
I finally located where Marcel was but Elijah and Freya was here as well. I went up to Freya's right side and joined in her chanting to get inside the house.
When the barrier came down Elijah was quick to get inside and so was I. He shoved Marcel off of Nik and into the abandoned kitchen. I look down a hallway to see Eric and Rose standing there. "Avenge us" they said in my head since their mouth had never moved.
Marcel quickly overpowered Elijah and I whooshed towards them and grabbed Marcel my his neck and held him against a wall.
"I should have killed you years ago. My daughter died for nothing when she saved you that day and my husband died in vain. I should kill you now." I whisper the last part. Before anything else could happen I swiftly snapped Marcel's neck and let his body fall to the ground. "But I have moved on from their death. They found peace."
I felt arms wrapped around and I didn't need to look up to know that it was Nik who was hugging me. We walked to another hallway and I see this black smoke floating in the air in front of the blue light. Someone was in the smoke because the shape of an arm was formed when it looked like it turned around to face us.
"Leave my family alone!" Freya yelled out and she threw a bottle at the smoke.
The black smoke started to do this high pitch scream and it was slowly hurting my ears to the point I put my hands over them to lessen the sound.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
