《The Immortals》Luka
Advertisement
Klaus was an Original, just like Elijah, who needed Elena, the moonstone, a vampire, a witch and a werewolf to break a curse. Julie had been right. Knowing more only made things scarier. Bonnie answered all her questions, well, most of them, anyway. She still didn't know why she couldn't be compelled. But she learned that Elijah hadn't lied; Rose had just died from a werewolf bite.
The next morning, Bonnie and Julie met at the Mystic Grill for lunch.
"Poor Rose..." Julie didn't know why she was sad, she barely knew her. "Did Tyler bite her?"
"No," Bonnie answered. "Some girl, Jules...She was after Damon, Rose got in the way."
"What is she doing here, anyway?"
"Something to do with Tyler," she shrugged. "She'll be dead, soon. Damon wants her dead."
"Does Damon kill everyone he disagrees with?" Julie asked. Okay, there was more than just a disagreement between them but for whatever reason, Julie didn't think that killing was the solution.
"Yes," Bonnie answered with a serious tone. "Anyway, Stefan went to talk to Tyler to convince him not to trust Jules, I doubt he'll listen. He's mad at Caroline for lying to her."
"How's Caroline?"
"She's panicking about it," Bonnie sighed. "But she's okay. Not like you," she said.
"What are you talking about?" Julie was confused.
"You look terrible, Julie," Bonnie told her.
"Oh," she sighed. She ran a hand over her tired face. "I'm having some trouble...sleeping," she admitted.
"You're having nightmares," Bonnie guessed.
"Yeah..." Julie looked down, like she was ashamed.
"You'll get through this," Bonnie said with a reassuring smile.
Julie chuckled. "I just hope I won't die before I do..."
"Why would you say that?" Bonnie frowned.
"I don't know," she sighed. "I die in most of my dreams."
"They're just nightmares, Julie," Bonnie assured her. "You'll be fine." Julie gave her a weak smile. "You know what, I'm supposed to meet Jeremy in a couple hours, but I might have some herbs that'll help you sleep. It might knock you out until tomorrow morning, how does that sound?"
"Sounds perfect," Julie chuckled. "What about the nightmares?"
"Sorry, no," Bonnie gave her a sorry look. "But you really need to sleep." Julie sighed. Bonnie was right but she was still afraid of the nightmares.
Bonnie gave Julie the herbs and it wasn't even 3PM yet that she was in her bed, asleep, and nothing could wake her up. She had never slept better in her life. She didn't have any nightmare and when she woke up, she was feeling relaxed and happy. But that feeling soon disappeared when she took her phone and saw tones of messages from Bonnie. Julie quickly got up. She took a quick shower and rapidly got dressed. Caroline had been kidnapped by Jules and Tyler hadn't been of any help. She had been hurt pretty bad so Elena and Bonnie spent the night at the blonde's place. She was fine and they were waiting for her at the Grill for lunch. It was so late, Julie made a mental note to thank Bonnie for her magical herbs.

"Hey, Julie!" Bonnie waved at her from the table she was sitting at with Caroline. Julie smiled back at her and walked towards them.
"Hey, sorry, I just woke up," she laughed.
"You look great," Bonnie said.
"Thanks to you."
"Nightmares?" Bonnie asked.
"Nope," Julie answered with a smile before she turned to Caroline. "Hey, how are you?"
"I'm fine," Caroline smiled. "I don't want to talk about it," she said and Julie nodded.
"So, tell me about this big witchy plan you've been cooking up?" Caroline asked, turning back to Bonnie.
"What witchy plan?" Julie asked, confused.
"Well, we still don't know the extend on what's Elijah's up to," Bonnie said.
"No we don't" the blonde nodded.
"So, I'm gonna ask Lucas to tell me what he knows."
Julie and Caroline were skeptical.
"And, he's not gonna tell you anything" Caroline said.
"I didn't say he was gonna have a choice" Bonnie replied with a malicious smile.
But Caroline seemed distracted and she looked up to wave at Matt who seemed pretty angry.
"What was that about?" Bonnie asked.
"I don't know, I thought that we were..." she sighed, "I don't know". She got up and walked towards her boyfriend.
"Trouble in paradise?" Julie asked.
"Yeah...It's not easy, he doesn't know about anything," she answered.
"Lucky him," Julie sighed. Bonnie frowned at her comment.
"Do you wish not to have known about the supernatural?" she asked.
"I sure slept better when I didn't," she replied. "Looks like it's not going well," she said, watching Caroline and Matt from afar.
"Here comes Tyler," Bonnie said.
"Should we do something?"
"No, Caroline can take care of herself."
"So," Julie said. "Did you call me to help you kidnap a wizard?"
Bonnie laughed. "Yeah," she nodded.
"I've never seen you do any magic," Julie said.
"I've never done this before," Bonnie told her. "I hope we'll get results. We need to find out Elijah's true intentions."
"You really don't trust him?" Julie asked.
"Do you?"
Julie sighed. "I don't know...He did help yesterday, in a way..."
"The deal won't last," Bonnie said. "We need to know more about his plans."
"Where's Elena, anyway?" Julie asked. This was all about her.
"She left town with Stefan. She wanted a break from all this."
Caroline seemed pretty angry when she walked back to the table and she sat down with a sigh.
"You okay?" Julie asked and the blonde looked up at her. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Yeah..." she gave her a small smile.
"Here come Lucas," Bonnie said. "Let's get to work." The witch got up and went to the bar to get the coffees to set the plan in action.
"So," Caroline said, leaning forward. "I heard you had a nice little chat with Elijah," she said. Julie raised her eyebrows. What was she supposed to answer to that?
"We talked," she nodded.
"What did you talk about?"
"Vampires, werewolves..." she shrugged.
"Is that all?" she asked with a malicious grin which made Julie frown.

"Yes," she answered, confused. "Why?"
"I don't know," she shrugged. "I would have left so fast," she laughed.
"He's not that bad," Julie said. "He's..." Julie couldn't find her words. She didn't notice she was smiling, thinking about him. Caroline frowned when she noticed it. Julie didn't have the time to finish her sentence as they were interrupted by Jeremy.
"Hey, how is it going?" he asked sitting next to Julie.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Caroline asked, surprised.
"Bonnie called, I wanted to help," he answered. "How is it going?"
"She's selling it and he's buying it," she told him. "She's giving him the sex smile," she said.
"Yeah, all right, Caroline, I get it," he stopped her. Both Julie and Caroline looked up at the youngest Gilbert. Was he jealous? He never liked Lucas, so maybe this was the reason. The girls looked at each other but said nothing, understanding each other without a word: Jeremy had a crush on Bonnie.
"Time to go," he said. Bonnie had drugged Lucas' coffee and he was barely standing on his feet anymore. Julie and Caroline followed him and he helped Lucas out of the Grill. "What kind of witch roofie was that?" he asked Bonnie.
"A strong one," she answered with a proud and amused smile. Julie chuckled and followed her new friends to Caroline's house.
They lied Lucas on Caroline's living room's floor. Julie sat down, next to Bonnie, across from Jeremy.
"Okay, we only have an hour or two before my mom gets home" the vampire said carrying lots of candles. "And these were all I could find."
"How does this work?" Jeremy asked.
"I'll put him in a trance and ask him questions, it's like hypnosis," the witch answered.
"You're sure you're strong enough for this?" Jeremy asked. Julie frowned at his question and started to worry. Could Bonnie get hurt doing this?
"That's what the candles are for, I'll draw power from the flames."
"I'll get the matches," Caroline said.
"I got it," Bonnie said and Julie felt something strange, something hot, running through her body. She shivered when the candles lit up.
"Wow," she breathed out, trying to shake the feeling.
Bonnie chuckled. "You okay?" she asked, amused.
"Yeah..." Julie nodded, still confused by what had just happened to her.
"I'm never gonna get used to that" Jeremy said.
"Oh come on, that's pretty hot and you know it," Caroline laughed.
"I need a bowl of water," Bonnie said to Jeremy, giving him a pretty smile.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll go get it," he nodded. Julie chuckled. Bonnie's smile was like a spell on him.
"Okay, what was that? It's hot?" Bonnie asked Caroline after Jeremy had left the room.
"He is so crushing on you!"
"So?"
"So? You'd rather be with warlock traitor over here?"
Julie chuckled.
"I'm not into Lucas. It's just...you know, he understood me and he was new and different."
"And you've known Jeremy since forever and you only see him one way, as Elena's brother." Bonnie nodded. "But you're a witch and I'm a vampire. You know it's not like we're in any position to..."
"To be picky." Bonnie cut her off.
"No," Caroline laughed "To judge."
Jeremy came back and Bonnie took the bowl from him.
"He's waking up," Julie told Bonnie.
Bonnie put her fingers in the water before putting her hands on each sides of Lucas' head. The flames on the candles grew bigger and Lucas started panting.
"You're not... hurting him are you?" Julie asked, worried.
"No, it won't hurt him, he won't even remember it after I'm done," she answered.
They all waiting in silence, looking from Bonnie to Lucas but minutes had passed and still, nothing was happening.
"How long is this gonna take?" Caroline asked.
"I don't know, he's fighting me" Bonnie answered.
"Please stop," Lucas begged. "Please."
Julie didn't know if she wanted Bonnie to stop. She was curious to have some questions answered but she was feeling bad for messing with Lucas' mind like that.
"Yeah. Alright" Bonnie said, after she had managed to get into his head. "Why are you working with Elijah?" she asked first.
Julie shivered at the mention of the vampire's name but nobody seemed to notice.
"Klaus," he said. "We both want him dead." That seemed to interest them.
"You wanna kill Klaus too. Why?" Bonnie asked next.
"Because he has her and we have to get her away from him."
Now, they were all confused.
"Who are you talking about?"
"My sister."
"His sister?" Jeremy echoed.
"Why does he have her?" Bonnie continued.
"He's searching for a way to undo the curse without the doppelgänger. He's forced generations of witches to help him for centuries."
Julie was horrified by his answer. It was her understanding that Klaus wasn't a nice person and she couldn't but imagine what he had done to all those witches who couldn't figure out a way to give him what he wanted.
"What has Elijah promised you?" Bonnie asked.
"If we help Elijah kill Klaus, he's promised to return her to us."
"And how do you kill Klaus? How do you kill an Original vampire?"
Julie frowned at the question. Did they want to kill Elijah? Of course, Klaus needed to be stopped, but what would work on one Original would work on the other. And why was she so worried, anyway? Suddenly, Lucas started to fight back.
"He'll kill me if I tell you, don't make me" he begged, scared.
"It's okay Bonnie, we can find another way," Jeremy said and Julie agreed with him.
"No," Bonnie refused. "How will you kill Klaus?"
"After the sacrifice, Klaus will be vulnerable, weak. It's are only chance."
"After the sacrifice?" Caroline echoed.
"What do you mean, "after"?" Bonnie wanted to know more.
"After..." he repeated.
"But Elena will be dead." Bonnie said.
"Yes, Elena has to die," are Lucas' last words.
"No," Jeremy shook his head.
Elijah wanted to sacrifice Elena. He didn't care about her at all, all he wanted was to kill Klaus and he didn't care who died along with him. Julie was afraid of the vampire again.
"You were right," she breathed out. "Elijah can't be trusted."

Path of Divinity
The world has been assimilated by the Celestial Archives, a vast system designed to fight the forces that seek to destroy the universe. For most, it's a holy cause that rewards victory with stats, levels, and skills. For Hunter Gold, it's the start of a nightmare. Even in a system dominated by paths, he finds himself taking the road less traveled. This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. This is kind of something fun I wanted to write after reading stories like The New World, System Apocalypse, and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. I don't know how serious I will be about this story, but I just want to try it out. I imagine that it will become a love child between Fable, Diablo, and Devil May Cry. Enjoy!
