(She is not using that bag BTW. I'm not the type to do flashbacks, sorry. Last thing, this chapter is pretty gruesome. To a point where I'm uncomfortable and disappointed that I thought of this. So read at your own will.)
Nik walked into my room and sat himself next to me on my bed. It seemed that something was stressing him out, but I'm not going to pry on his sessions with Cami. I guessing things didn't go well with his appointment.
"Do you remember what you told yesterday in the bayou?" He asked me but I looked at him confused so he continued to explain. "How you lost everything in the fire at the opera 100 years ago?" He said and I nodded my head. "What did you lose?" He asked me.
I was quiet for a while. I had made myself forget about what happened that night. "Um, three years ago before the fire, I had came back to New Orleans to see if anything was interesting was going on. That's when I heard about the famous Mikaelson family." I said and he was going to say something but I continued. "The reason we have never met was because I made sure to stay out of your way. I didn't want attention because I knew I wasn't going to stay for long." I told him and Nik stayed quiet.
"I had met this guy and we just clicked right away. We had dates, I told him what I was, but he didn't care because he had the idea that there was a supernatural world, then later on he would spoil me rotten with gifts that he could find." I said and a huge smile was plastered on my face as I remember how we first met.

"One day I found out I was pregnant and he was the most happiest of all the man in the world. He bought every baby needs and toys and all of them were pink. He assumed it was girl. 9 months later I gave birth to a beautiful girl named Rose and everything was like all the movies we would see that had an happy ending. Three years has past and it's the day of the fire. Rose and her father wanted to go to the opera and the two convinced me to go as well. I left to use the bathroom and when I came back, everything was a disaster." I said and a tear fell down my face.
Nik put his hand on my cheek and rubbed the tear away. "You don't need to continue." He told me and I shook my head. He made me rest my head against his shoulder.
"When I came back my husband, Eric, was burning to death and Rose was just standing their crying her heart out for him. She heard something happening on the stage and she saw this man walk towards Marcel who was tied up. She used her magic to stop him and that put all the attention on her." I said and more tears start to fall down my face. Nik pulled me so I was straddling his lap so he can wrap his arm around me.
"The man just kept coming for Rose and she was trying so hard to stop him. Once he reached her he shoved his hand in her chest and took her heart out. But he didn't stop. He then decided to just rip her head off her body before he decided to leave." My voice broke.
"That man who killed your daughter, was my father. He was hunting me and my family down. I'm so sorry." Nik said as he buries his head into my neck.

"It's not your fault. I know your story." I whispered. We just sat there with me in his lap and his head in my neck. I had stop crying by then.
Nik had pulled away from my neck and said he had to go do something. He asked me if I needed him to stay but I shook my head. He hesitated but left leaving me with Angel. I look down on her and stare. I may not have been able to save my first daughter but I'm damn sure going to make sure Angel lives so she can have kids soon.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
