《Klaus's Pet》Chapter 43
Advertisement
Lorelei's POV:
Hope and I are walking through the Quarter around noon. I don't like being out during the day if I can avoid it but I'd like to spend some one on one time with her.
"Maybe we should frame it. You can hang it up wherever you want." I say
Hope had painted a beautiful piece of art. A meadow with blue skies with a butterfly perched on an a flower surrounded by grass.
Hope smiles.
"That sounds awesome! Maybe we can paint together later. We'd need to get you some paint brushes." Hope says as she moves out of the way for a man walking past
"I'll just borrow your Dad's. He's got really good ones." I say
We stop and check out a stand filled with jewelry. Hope's eyes catch sight of a golden sunflower necklace.
"Can I get this please?" She asks
"Sure honey." I say with a smile
I move my purse off my shoulder and grab my wallet. I'm skimming through my cash and ask how much but don't get a response.
I look up and she's gone.
"Hope?" I ask as I look around
I skim through passersby and the stands but I don't spot her.
She's gone.
Hayley's POV:
I walk into the compound off the street and take my jacket off. Lorelei and Klaus are arguing in the foyer. Klaus moves to walk away and Lorelei is right on his heels. I watch as he whips around and takes a step towards her. She backs up.
"Nik I can find her!" Lorelei insists
"You are the one who was supposed to watch her!" He snaps
"What's going on?" I ask walking over
"Someone took Hope." Klaus says
"What?" I demand

I can feel my heart start to race and a feeling of dread fills every bit of me.
My baby.
"We were in the Quarter and she wanted a necklace she had seen-" Lorelei begins to explain
"And a witch took her. One of Evelyn's henchmen." Klaus interrupts
"Nik I looked away for one minute!"
"They could've been in and out of there in the blink of an eye. You couldn't have known." Freya says walking quickly into the room
"Could you locate them?" Klaus asks
Tracking a witch can be a long shot but it never hurts to try.
Freya shakes her head.
"You're going to have to track them down the hard way. I'm going to stay here and work on breaking their cloaking spells." She says
Klaus turns to leave and Lorelei moves to follow.
"Nik this is my fault. Let me help!" She says
Klaus turns around and glares at her. He points to a chair.
"You will sit down and be silent. Hayley and I will track them down and you are going to stay here and stay put. Do I make myself clear?" He says
She opens her mouth to speak but doesn't.
"Klaus I'm going to need you here. I need your blood and if things get worse I'll need to channel someone who shares Hope's blood." Freya interjects
"I'm going out there to find my daughter!" Klaus argues
"Hayley and Lorelei can go. I need you here and we may need to come up with a backup plan in case this doesn't work." Freya says
Klaus turns his attention back to Lorelei and me.
"You will find whoever took her and you will make them pay."

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
