《The Unexpected Sister》9•Maketes
Advertisement
Anna and Klaus quietly searched Marcels apartment for some of his blood.
"Found any?" Anna called from the other room.
"If I had I would've said, Anna. You're the only one who can do the spell." He replied, rudely.
"Christ, no need to get your knickers in a twist." Klaus sighed and Anna entered the room. As Anna opened a drawer and started to thoroughly check it, she spoke.
"Why do you hate me?"
"Because I have no reason to like you." He responded quickly without looking at her.
"Em, how about we start off with the fact that i'm your sister?" She opened the next drawer and searched through that.
"Just because we happen to share parents, doesn't give me a reason to like you. If anything, I should hate you for attacking my real siblings."
"Hey! That was self defense." She said, turning around.
"Yeh, Freya trying to welcome you into the family and you repaying her by breaking her arm is the true definition of self defence." He shouted as he turned around too.
"They didn't really want me. You dont really want me. I look out for myself, Klaus. I have done for a thousand years."
"At any point in those a thousand years, you could've knocked on the door and introduced yourself!"
"For what? So you could act like this?!" It suddenly went silent. Anna turned back around and started looking through the drawers again. Klaus was fed up. He vamped towards her, intending to snap her neck, but she swiftly spun and held out her hand, forcing Klaus against the wall.
"Are you serious? You ask for my help, we do it my way. This isn't a one way street, Klaus. You don't get to be in charge of everything." Klaus was almost suffocating against the wall. Anna was strong. By far the strongest witch Klaus had encountered in his many years on earth.

"Well you can't just walk into my life expecting
me to welcome you with open arms and a spare bedroom! I hadn't even heard about you until yesterday! You're just any other little girl to me." Anna laughed in judgement. She took a few steps forward, slowly.
"You haven't heard of me because I never wanted you to hear of me. We haven't met because I never wanted to meet you. You dont remember me because I made you forget!" Anna was now standing below her brother, staring up at him struggling against the wall.
"What are you talking about?" He asked. She grabbed his hand and his mind went dark until old memories flashed before his eyes.
It was Mystic Falls, 1001 AD. Klaus was in the woods with his youngest brother, Henrik, when Anna walked by them.
"Be careful, its a full moon tonight. The wolves have no control in their true form." She warned them.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Klaus said, before he dragged Henrik closer to the village the wolves had built.
Then it was England 1458. Klaus was in the garden of a castle, painting it. Anna walked up behind him, wearing a red velvet gown and her hair pinned up.
"That is a beautiful piece. You are truly talented." She said. Klaus put his brush down.
"Thank you very much. I am.."
"Klaus. I know. I'm Anna." They shook hands.
Suddenly, it was 1714. The Mikaelsons had just moved into New Orleans and were running the city. Anna walked up to Klaus who was feeding on a woman in an alley behind the theatre.
"You might want to slow down there, Klaus. You might get caught." He threw the body to the side and wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth.

"How do you know my name?"
"Oh, trust me. I know everything."
Anna removed her hand from his and Klaus opened his eyes, gasping. He looked at Anna. She smiled.
"That's right. We've met. So before calling me a little girl, remember I am a 1000 year old immortal were-witch in a 15 year olds body. "
"You wiped my memory? Why? For a thousand years you've hidden beneath the shadows, ready to pounce out. For what reason?"
"Because what else was I meant to do? I had no family, no friends. When my father died, the wolves banished me because I was part witch. I had to lurk around the woods just so I could get food."
"Do you think I had it easy? My father hated me without even knowing what I was! He beat me and abused me for no apparent reason!"
"Yet you still had a place to call home!" It went silent. Anna had a tear dribbling down her cheek. They held eye contact for a few long seconds before she looked away. She lowered her hand and Klaus dropped onto the floor. She walked back over to the set of drawers while Klaus stood up, looking at his sister on the other side of the room. She was searching through random objects like coins and scrap pieces of paper.
"Anna I-"
"There's no point, Klaus. You may think you're different or special. But the truth is you're not the only bastard who grew up unloved." There was no sound for a few moments, only the siblings breathing. Then Klaus walked over to the rug in the centre of the room and lifted it up, revealing a hook in the floor. He opened it and there was a small storage hole in the ground where Marcel stored his blood. He took a vile out and handed it to Anna. She smiled at him softly. He threw the rug back over and Anna sat down on the ground cross-legged in front of an old, worn out map. She poured his blood carefully into the center of the page and closed her eyes. Klaus watched his sister as she muttered. There was something about her. Something that seemed... innocent. Something pure. The way that she breathed and how she moved. It was all so guiltless and honourable. The blood slowly moved its way along the paper before it stopped and formed a small blob in the middle of nowhere.
"Where's Northwich?" Klaus questioned.
"It's a deserted area in the Upper-east-county. There's an abandoned house there." She replied as she stood up. As she folded up the map, Klaus noticed a silver ring upon her smallest finger. It was very simple. A small point facing her nail and only 2 stars on it. But it looked familiar.
"What's that ring?" He said, pointing to it. She looked down at her hand.
"Oh um, nothing." She stated without looking at him. "Lets go get Marcel."

Cultivation Chat Group
One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. And even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed…

I post at least once a week. I cannot promise you a story you enjoy reading, but I can promise you a story I enjoy writing. Thank you. ------------------------------------------ The sword is greater than a simple weapon; an answer to life's questions. An extension of thine master's hand, guided by wrist. Care it not whether guilty or innocent blood shed, for be it a mere edge, a weapon. For blade that forgets or refuses to cut be shameful, meaningless, disgraceful. Nay, be it considered a tool at all? What dost the weapon do when the steel hath no guide, that the master hath mingled far? Doth it Stay? Perhaps quiver at possibility, the loss of reason for existence? Or does it go forth into the unknown, guided by merely the wind and the edge? A wandering sword, a phantom blade- A lone Samurai. ------------------------ Credit to Nicklas Gustaffson for the image.

8 186Chronicles Of The Storylord: 12th Chronicle - Origin
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the known universe(s), and were given a grace period in which they would experience a relatively safe expansion of their domains. Once that period is up, however, they are free to interact with each other...and what lurks in the depths of the Abyss, the Void, and the Primordial Chaos. I am the 12th soul, but I am not as those others are, for I am merely a shard. My purpose: begin the Tale anew. For I am the Storylord, and I am the Tale. The Tale is all, and all is the Tale, yet the Tale is myself, for I am all in my domain. This is my story, the saga of many, the legend… of the Tale. Just remember this: “This world is but a story, and all the stories are true...” This story is in the same general multiverse as RE: Deity by lightningwarrior21, but will be almost completely separate except in a few chapters. I have permission from him to use his base multiverse, and you should go check out his fiction, it’s really good. http://royalroadl.com/fiction/9597 This ‘fiction’ will be updated sporadically, so don’t expect much of a steady stream of chapters. (I’ll try to do one chapter a week, but no promises.) Suggestions on how to improve this universe helps with the management, so comments are welcome, as are Grammar Nazis. I’ve had this fiction mostly as scattered notes in my google drive, and only recently had enough time to actually put it together, like I promised lightning back in January. (Writer’s block and schoolwork do not mix well.) The cover is not owned by me, I found the image on google images. Anyway, I’ll be back yesterday… or was that tomorrow? (I really need to get that damn causality generator fixed, me-damnit!) See ya!
