《The End》Part 35: Humor Me
Advertisement
Rosa stared at Damon as he laid on the ground. He looked at her and sighed. "What?"
"Where's Stefan? I've been calling him."
"No clue. He doesn't tell me anything, just locks me up. You got any blood on you?" Rosa shrugged and turned around.
She was met with Stefan and Klaus looking back at her. "What are you doing here?" Stefan asked.
"I came to confess my undying love for you." Rosa said in a serious voice.
Stefan and Klaus looked at each other, "Really?"
"No, idiot. I called you like 20 times." She complained.
Stefan looked at his phone and sighed, "Rosa, you only called me twice."
She shrugged. "That's my version of 20. I'm lazy and don't like sounding desperate."
Klaus chuckled softly, but Rosa ignored him. Stefan then said, "Sorry...I was busy. What's up?"
"Caroline and Bonnie and Elena are doing stuff, and I don't feel like hanging out with Elena and I was bored...so here I am."
Stefan rubbed the back of his head, "I'm actually leaving. But I know someone who you can talk with." Rosa looked at Stefan to Klaus and sighed.
"Nope. I'll just hang out with Damon all day. Me and him are pals."
Klaus smirked, "Funny, I had the same idea."
Rosa glared at Stefan who just shrugged. "Rosa knows what to do, so I don't have to explain it. Have fun."
Rosa watched Stefan leave and turned back to Damon. "Here's your blood." Rosa said.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Damon asked as he grabbed the blood.
"Babysitting." Klaus said cheerfully.
Rosa rolled her eyes and walked back upstairs. Klaus quickly followed her. She sat down at looked at him awkwardly.
"What?"
"You tried to steal my brother."
Klaus shrugged. "Do want to hear where I found Stefan this morning?" Rosa shook her head. "I'll tell you anyway. I found him trying to sneak out of my foolish sisters room."
Rosa looked at Klaus quickly, but immediately looked away. Klaus frowned.
"I see I've got your attention."
"He told me he wouldn't." Rosa said softly. "I swear I don't like him like that, I just don't like Rebekah. And Elena's my sister."
Klaus nodded, "And Rebekah is my sister."
"You know she's a bitch." Klaus smiled slightly.
"I wonder what people say about you."
Rosa smirked, "Probably that I'm delightful and beautiful and amazing. You can only tell me so many times before I start to believe it."
The two stare at each other for a moment before Rosa looks away. Klaus sighs and sits down next to her on the couch. "So, we're you planning on inviting me to the dance."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I wasn't going and now it's cancelled." Klaus nodded. "Would you have actually wanted to go?"
Klaus smiled softly, "Maybe. But we could do something since I know how much you loath dancing."
Rosa suddenly began to laugh and Klaus watched her both confused and amused. "Sorry. It's hard to take you seriously with your accent. All British and proper." Klaus smiled as Rosa continued to laugh, trying to cover her mouth with her hand.
"Are you going to mock me the rest of the day?"
"Probably." Rosa admitted. Suddenly the laughter stopped and Rosa sighed. "I'm going crazy."
"Were you ever sane?" Rosa glared at Klaus but he only shrugged. "Let's play a game." The girl looked up, tilting her head slightly. "I'll ask you one question and you ask me one but no matter what we have to answer."

Rosa scoffed, "That sounds like a game my school counselor made me play to get me to open up about me feelings after I punched a kid...it was Matt."
"Humor me." Rosa sighed and sat up straight. "Alright, what's your favorite color?"
"Really, I let you ask me question you go for the color. Purple." Klaus nodded, smiling softly. Rosa rolled her eyes and thought of a question. "What was your favorite decade?"
Klaus immediately answered, "The 1920's. It was a blast."
"Isn't that when you met Stefan?" Klaus nodded. "I'm so telling him that."
"Nope. Whatever happens here today, stays here. Now, what's something embarrassing about yourself that you've never told anyone?"
Rosa shook her head, attempting to hide the smile spreading across her face. "You can't laugh, okay."
"Promise."
Rosa looked around the room and leaned closer to Klaus. In a low whisper she said, "When I was younger I used to be afraid of unicorns. Nothing can be that pretty and happy and colorful and cute all at once all of the time."
Rosa looked down at the floor, swinging her legs back and forth, laughing. Klaus smiled softly. "That's kind of adorable."
"Shut up. I'll kick you."
"That's not."
Rosa smiled sweetly at Klaus. "Okay, favorite singling? Go!"
Klaus gasped playfully. "I can't pick one." Rosa narrowed her eyes at Klaus. "Fine...Rebekah."
"Boo!" She said sticking out her tongue.
"Who's yours?"
"Easy, Jeremy." Klaus nodded. "Favorite place in the whole world."
Klaus smiled, "New Orleans."
"Why?" Rosa asked confused.
"I'll show you one day."
Rosa hummed thoughtfully. Only interrupted by the buzzing of her phone. "Ugh! Time to feed Damon."
"Allow me, I have to talk to him."
—
Rosa laid on the couch, waiting when she heard a loud bang. She quickly ran to find them. She is immediately met with Klaus shoving her against the wall.
"What the hell?" Rosa chokes out as she pushes Klaus away from her.
"Are you in on it?"
Rosa looked at Klaus confused. "In on what?"
"Don't play dumb. Or maybe that's just your natural state." Rosa looked at Klaus angrily. She could tell Klaus regretted what he said, but he wouldn't admit it.
Rosa shoved Klaus away from her and walked away from him, towards the door. Klaus followed after her.
"Rosalina! Rosalina, I'm sorry."
She scoffed, almost laughing. "Every time that you make me like you again you ruin it. What is wrong with you?"
"Your siblings and friends are planning on killing Kol." Rosa had a moment of hesitation before shrugging and continuing to walk out the door. "What? You don't care. So I'm supposed to care about all of your little problems, but when it comes to my family you don't care?"
"I don't care, I don't like your family."
Klaus shook his head, "I'm not very fond of yours either, but I have been protecting them."
"Right, but only when you aren't trying to kill them which is most of the time." Klaus sighed. "I didn't know. I'm not helping them...what do you need?"
Klaus looked up at the girl for a moment, wanting to smile but to afraid. "Come with me?"
Rosa was hesitant at first. "I'm not dumb." She stated.
"I know. You're very smart, I was just angry and—"
"I'm not dumb. Maybe I don't have great grades and I might not be as smart as everyone else, but I'm not dumb. So don't ever say that again, okay?"

Klaus nodded, "I'm sorry."
"Let's go."
—
Klaus grabbed Rosa's hand and sped towards her house. He froze. They saw Kol in flames. Rosa looked at Klaus who was shocked and obviously angry.
He let go of her hand and stared angrily at Elena. "What did you do?"
"We didn't have a choice. He was trying to cut off Jeremy's arm."
Rosa looked between Klaus and Elena and sighed. Klaus then screamed, "Lies! He never would've gotten inside of you hadn't set a trap for him."
"Elena." Rosa spoke softly.
Elena ignored her sister and spoke directly to Klaus. "You said you were going to put him down too."
"I was going to make him suffer on my terms! I'm going to burn this house to the ground. And then, when you try to flee for your lives, I'll kill you both without blinking.
Rosa moved away slightly, and Klaus didn't go without noticing. He looked at her, but his anger remained strong.
"You kill us, you'll never be able to make any more hybrids." Jeremy stated.
Klaus scoffed, "You really think I care for an instant about my bloody hybrids? I want the cure so I can destroy it. I would've killed you all the second we dug it up, but now I'm just gonna watch you burn instead."
Suddenly Klaus fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Rosa leaned down next to him and looked at her siblings for help but they just stared.
"Invite him in." Rosa turned around to here Bonnie's voice. "Do it!"
Klaus got up and pushed Rosa away. "Come in." He fell forward. Bonnie walked past Rosa and began to use he magic so Klaus couldn't move.
"Stop it! What are you doing?" Rosa shouted.
"Living room. Go!" Bonnie order Elena and Jeremy. The two ran to the living room until they made it out the door.
Klaus banged on an invisible barrier, watching as Bonnie, Elena and Jeremy stand in front of him. Rosa then enters the house, standing outside of the barrier.
"Witch, you can't do this to me." Klaus shouted.
"You have no idea what I can do now."
"I will hunt all of you to your end! Do you hear me? Do you!" Rosa leaned against the wall, staring at Klaus who stared angrily at Elena and Jeremy.
The three of them look at each other and then to Rosa. "Rosa..." Jeremy said softly.
"Get out." She said quietly, not even looking at the three of them. They walked out and were gone.
"Rosalina."
Rosa shook her head. "Don't talk to me." She said.
—
The next day, Rosa walked downstairs, into the kitchen and stopped when she saw Tyler.
"Why are you in my house?" She asked him confused while grabbing a muffin from its container.
"Watching Klaus."
Rosa handed him a muffin and sighed, "I got that covered. You can go."
Tyler shook his head and walked towards the living room where Klaus stood, staring at Kol's burnt corpse.
"Morning sunshine. You look pathetic." Tyler said.
"Only until Bonnie's spell locking me in here wears off. Then I'll look different. Angrier, perhaps. Or I won't look like anything because I'll have gouged your eyeballs from their sockets."
Rosa rolled her eyes and looked at Tyler who was fuming. "My friends will be back with the cure by then. So, I could shove it down your throat."
"Oh my god, shut up." She muttered. Rosa walked away to the outside porch while saying, "I'm calling Caroline to make you leave."
—
"You're still here? What are you doing?" Caroline asked confused as she walked into the house. She looked at Rosa who shrugged.
"Gloating." Tyler said in a stern voice.
Tyler pours himself a drink as Klaus walks farther into the room letting himself be seen. "Hello, Caroline." Rosa smirks as Caroline glared at Klaus.
"Come home. Don't stoop to his level."
Rosa stood up next to her friend, "He won't leave. Make him leave. I can only stand one obnoxious dog for the day."
Rosa glared at Klaus who put his hands behind his back and looked around innocently. "He destroyed my life." Tyler said. "I plan on being present for every second of his misery until I can kill him myself."
"Okay, out! Now!" Rosa shouted. "Nobody is killing anyone so get out if you can't behave."
Caroline hung her arm around Rosa's shoulder and smiled, "Fine. You can gloat and multitask. This place is a disaster. Starting with the horrific burnt corpse."
Rosa removed Caroline arm from around her and leaned across the table, "I don't clean."
Caroline sighed and walked over to the cabinet pulling out a table cloth. Calmly her and Tyler covered Kol's body with it.
"Tyler's mother is dead. So is my brother. We're even. Call Bonnie. Get her to let me out of here." Klaus said much calmer than Rosa had expected.
"I will never, ever, help you." Caroline said.
Klaus looked at Rosa for a moment before turning back to Caroline. "How quickly you forget the part where I saved Tyler from the misery of being a werewolf. Or the night your mother invited me into her home to save the life of her precious daughter. Or..." He started. His gaze met Rosa's and he stopped.
"How delusional are you? You killed his mother. And let's not forget that we're standing in a house where Rosa's aunt Jenna used to live. Or did you think that your charm would make us forget how you killed her, too?" Klaus looked at Rosa who was hit with a pained expression on her face. "You know what? No. I am not going to engage in this. You are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you."
Suddenly Klaus vamp-speeds towards Caroline, impaling her with a lamp. "No!" Rosa and Tyler scream as they run towards them. Klaus uses the lamp to pull Caroline into the barrier, bites her neck and she falls to the floor.
"Now that was definitely worth the calories." Klaus said with an evil grin.
Tyler and Rosa walk closer to the barrier. Tyler looks at Caroline who laid on the floor and then to Klaus. Anger was all he knew in that moment.
In a split second, Tyler pulled Rosa close to him and bit her neck and pushed her as far away from the barrier as he could get her in that moment.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

Re-Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times.. So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ I'm kind of a catastrophe when it comes to ethic and drive. So don't be alarmed if there isnt an update for a week or three. Or if there is three updates at once. It's a rewrite of the Rehammer that is around, which means the start is mostly the same with some small changes. Chapter 15 is the first fully new chapter of the book. though Chapter 14 has a large addition. You effectively can skip to that and not missing anything major if you read the old one, if you don't wanna rewrite.
