《The End》Part 22: Drink
Advertisement
"Where are you going?" Rosa asks as she lays on the bed. She still refused to drink and Klaus was on his last nerve.
He sighed and placed a cup of blood on the table. "I am going to get your sister...and your phone and notebook." He placed another cup full of blood on the dresser standing tall next to Rosa's bed. She glared at him, but Klaus had an annoying smirk on his face. "I am expecting this to be drained when I am back."
"Or, I won't and I'll be dead."
"Drink it, Rosalina. Please." The girl sighed. She knew she wouldn't drink it and so did Klaus. He was trying to be patient, let her make the choice on her own, but he would force her to drink if he had to.
Klaus was about to leave when Rosa said, "Can I borrow your phone." Klaus sighed and handed the girl the phone. "Thanks."
"Please drink and when you do, the hybrids can get your more blood if you need."
A while after Klaus leaves, Rosa picks up the phone and dials Jeremy's number. It rings about 3 times before he finally picks up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Jer." Rosa said.
"Rosa? Where the hell are you? We've got major problems going on. Alaric's alive...sort of. Are you okay?" Jeremy asked, seeming all at once.
"Yeah...yeah I heard. I'm really sorry I haven't been around." Rosa told him. She didn't know what she was supposed to say.
How do you tell your brother that you were turned into a vampire by Klaus Mikaelson and that you can never see him again. You don't.
"Rosa, where are you?" She was about to answer, but instead she groaned at the pain. Rosa hated to admit it, but she was hungry. She needed blood. "Rosa, are you okay?" Jeremy asked again.
"Yeah." Her voice was weaker. "Look Jer, I'm leaving."
"What?"
Rosa shut her eyes. She didn't want to lie to her brother like this. "I can't take Mystic Falls anymore. I don't know where I'm going to go, but I just need to get out. I'm so sorry."
On the other side of the phone it was silent. She heard Jeremy take a deep breath, "Look Rosa, please don't go. It's just a really bad time. Just come back home...but not right now. Klaus is here and I don't want you to get hurt."
"Tell Elena and Caroline I love them. And Jer, I love you so much and I'm going to miss you so much. Bye." Rosa quickly hung up before Jeremy could protest.
She didn't even realize what she was doing until the phone broke in two as it hit the wall. Rosalina Gilbert cried. She was either going to die or be a vampire, but whatever happened, Jeremy would always think that she abandoned him.

It's been a few hours and Klaus still hadn't come back. Rosa had debated drinking the blood a few times as she continued to grow weaker. She kept telling Klaus that she didn't care about dying, but now that it was actually happening, she did care a little bit.
Rosa slowly got off of the bed, stumbling into the wall. She looked down at the blood Klaus had left sitting on the table. She had never wanted to drink something so much.
The girl stared at the cup. The dark red liquid sitting in it. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath. She clenched her fists tightly. Rosa carefully picked up the cup and brought it close to her face.
Her parents were hunters. They led the council. They would have hated to see her like this. Jenna was killed by a vampire, by Klaus. She would have hated this.
Rosa grunted and slammed the cup back onto the table, some of the blood splashing over the side. Rosa jumped back into her bed and placed the pillow over her head as she screamed into it.
—
Rosa was laying on her bed when Klaus came back. He sat on the bed next to her. He placed his hand on her leg, but she moved it away, slowly. To weak to make a larger move.
"Go away." She groaned.
"And why would I do that?"
Rosa didn't answer. Klaus sighed knowing that Rosa hadn't drank the blood and she wasn't planning on it. He also knew that she didn't have much time left.
"You're going to kill her. You never said you were going to kill her." Klaus sighed.
"Plans change. Alaric's life is linked to hers. It's the only way."
Rosa sat up and looked at him. It was clear that she had been crying. Klaus looked at her and then around the room. He noticed that small blood stain on the table.
He smirked, "What stopped you? You were going to drink, what happened?"
Rosa looked at him and shook her head, "Everyone I have ever loved would have hated me." She told him. "I'm glad I didn't."
"Why?"
"I don't want to live in a world without my sister. As much as we fight with each other. Even if I hate her right now, I'll always love her in the long run."
"Rosalina, I am truly sorry."
She shook her head, "No you're not. You enjoy this. You know that everyone who loves her is going to suffer once she died. Me most of all." Klaus pushed Rosa's hair behind her ear as looked into her eyes. Her face was losing color, he could see that she had to drink soon.
Klaus stood up and took the cup of blood and brought it over to Rosa. She looked at him, a sad face.

"You know I'll never love you, right?" Klaus looked taken aback by the question. "You can kidnap me and force me to be by your side for decades if you want, but I'll never love you. I'll only grow to despise you more than I already do so please...please let me...die." Her breaths were short.
Klaus placed his hand behind her head bringing it closer to the cup. Rosa shook her head, her mouth glued shut.
"No, please! Please don't do this. I'll hate you forever!" She screamed as Klaus brought the cup to her lips. She continued to shake her head. "No!" Klaus held her head firmly and forced the cup to her mouth. The blood staining her lips.
Once Klaus decided she had enough he took the cup from Rosa's lips and she ran to the other side of the room. She stared at him in shock. She was a vampire now.
"You are a disgusting monster!" She spat at him.
Klaus nodded, "I know." He tells her this before leaving to go check on Elena.

Rosa heard fighting. At first it was just Tyler shouting at Klaus, but Tyler couldn't fight Klaus. He didn't stand a chance. But maybe everyone together did.
Rosa slowly walked out of the room and down the hallway. She sees Bonnie chanting next to Jeremy who was on the floor. Rosa looks at her brother in panic. She then sees Damon next to Klaus who begins to turn grey, veins sticking out of him.
"Hey, are you okay?" Rosa hears Damon ask Elena. She nods. "Come on."
Rosa watches as Damon helps Elena up and Bonnie finishes her spell. She then looks at Jeremy who was still dead looking. Bonnie began to chant.
Suddenly panic comes over Bonnie. "Oh my god! Jeremy!" She shouts and begins to pound on Jeremy's chest. That's when Rosa walks into the room causing everyone except Bonnie to look at her but she doesn't care. She only cares about her brother. "Jeremy! Jeremy!"
Jeremy wakes up and props himself up on his elbows. Rosa let's put a breath of relief. Bonnie looks at Jeremy and placed his forehead on his.
After Klaus was completely desiccated Stefan pulled his hand out of his chest and Tyler lays Klaus on the ground.
Everyone then turns to Rosa. "What are you doing here?" Stefan asks her, but Rosa doesn't answer.
She can't. She couldn't tell everyone she was a vampire, but she didn't exactly get a choice.
They can all see her red tinted lips. Elena stared at her sister both confusion and horror on her face. Jeremy shakes his head slightly.
"I didn't want to." She whispers. "He made me. He killed me." She told them in a whisper. It was easy to see that Rosa was ready to break. Jeremy slowly walked closer to his sister and pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry." She cried.
Jeremy didn't say anything, he just stood there, his arms around his sister. She cried into his chest. Rosa was a vampire.
—
Rosa was in her room, she hadn't said anything to anybody since they left. She hated what she was now. And downstairs all her friends were celebrating, laughing, joking, and she was crying. How could they not care that this was happening to her.
—
Rosa slowly comes into the room that Jeremy and Elena were in. Jeremy was painting the window frame. When she enters the room they stop talking, and stare.
"Hey." Rosa says softly.
"Uh, hi." Her siblings day at the same time.
Rosa takes a deep breath, "Did you guys have fun celebrating?" Jeremy and Elena look at each other and sigh. "I would have joined you, but it's a little hard to celebrate when I've just been turned into a vampire."
"Rosa...we don't blame you." Elena said.
"Good. I didn't do this to myself. I was prepared to die so you guys wouldn't hate me. So mom and dad wouldn't hate me. So Jenna wouldn't hate me, but that didn't happen. I'm stuck like this so don't you think for a second that you can make this about you for a second."
"Rosa, she's just trying to be nice." Jeremy tells her.
"I—I'm sorry. I don't know why I got so mad." Rosa said quietly. "Good night." She said before going back into her room.
Rosa sat in her room for about 3 minutes before leaving her house. She needed blood. And she hated it.
Rosa leaned against the back of a wall, panting heavily. "Excuse me? Are you okay?" Rosa turned to see a young women, probably in her early 20s coming towards her.
She turned always firm the women and clenched her fists, trying to control the urge. She didn't want to do this. She didn't want to hurt someone.
"What's your name?"
Rosa turned around, the veins showing under her eyes. "I'm so sorry." The women tilted her head confused. Rosa suddenly ran towards the woman, plunging her teeth into her neck.
The women screamed as Rosa's teeth sunk in and blood began to drip. Rosa hated how much she enjoyed this. How good it tasted. How she didn't want it to end. But it did and the body dropped to the floor.
Rosa looked down the body, in horror of what she had just done. She covered her mouth his her hand and backed away. "Oh my god." She whispered. She ran away and went back to her house. Rosa decided. Nobody would ever know.

8 200Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

Disclaimer: I'm not continuing this story. Check out Azarinth Healer, it's a more current story where I worked on a lot of things I found wrong with this one. Main character is somewhat similar as well so if you like Eleonora, you'll probably like Ilea. I still invested a ton of time writing this so check it out if you feel like it. There's gonna be 20 Chapters 39k words total. Hey everyone. This is a story I've started writing like a year ago and thought why not post it now. This story is about fighting and magic in a pretty standard fantasy world. The story follows Eleonora through her daily life in Duneswatch and on her way to become an adventurer. No secrets here, it's pretty generic. Should be decently paced so just give it a shot if you want to. I'm not gonna sell it to you in this quick summary. The range of writing on RR is so wide we both know you just have to give it a chapter...or a paragraph depending on how unique the grammar is. Please do criticize harshly. I'm definitely no writer but everybody can improve with pointers in the right direction. Don't expect regular updates.
