《Klaroline: Capable of Love》Chapter 42

Caroline's POV
What am I doing? I should head back to the hotel. It is like I can control myself one second, and then another I can't. I don't want to go back to the hotel because I heard Bonnie and Elena talking and they said they were going to knock me out with a spell. My mind is all over. Uh, I just need to sort through what I know.
Okay, think Caroline. You have werewolf venom in your system. You don't want to go back to Elena and Bonnie. You are in the streets of...Oh, where am I? I think I'm not in America anymore...London! I think I am wandering the streets of London. You are hungry, really hungry. Somebody has a paper cut, somewhere, snap out of it Caroline! I can not control my hunger right now, so no feeding, no matter how bad I want it.
I just need to clear my mind. I walk into some bar and head straight for the bathrooms. I push open the door and lock it behind me. I walk over to the sink and splash some water on my face. I hear a door squeak and whip around. I didn't even realize that this bathroom had stalls and there was somebody in here.
The girl looks like she might be seventeen or eighteen. She has long red hair that flows to her belly button. She approaches me carefully as if I might break, which I feel like I will. She looks confused as if she doesn't know what to do.
She asks me slowly, "Are you okay?"
I say, "Of course I am not okay. I am dying." Why does she think I am okay? If I was okay, I wouldn't be in the bathroom crying.

She asks, "Oh, do you need anything?"
My brain feels like it is going to explode. I say, "I don't know what I need. I need, I need." What do I need? I need to be healed. Klaus. I need Klaus. "I need him.", I say quickly.
"Who do you need?"
I ignore her question and dig into my pockets. Uh, I didn't bring my cellphone with me. I don't know Klaus's number, I don't think there is any way I will be able to contact him.
The girl says, "I am going to go get help."
She starts to head for the door, but I flash in front of her. I compel her, "You will stay in here with me and do as I say."
She repeats plainly, "I will stay here and do whatever you say."
"What am I doing? I am going to die and I have wasted my whole life." I start to pace back and forth the tiny bathroom. "I never even gave him a chance."
"Gave who a chance?", the girl asked a little freaked out.
"Klaus.", I say with a sigh. She opens her mouth to ask another question, but I ask her, "Did I say you could talk?", she quickly closes her mouth.
I continue pacing as I say, "I mean he was supposed to be my last love. He was going to show me the world. I couldn't picture my future any other way. He was supposed to help me through it when Bonnie dies. We were supposed to get married in Italy and honeymoon in Paris. We might have even adopted a kid or two after a few centuries. He was going to be an overprotective father and I was going to be a cool mom. We were supposed to have a future together, but I couldn't give him a chance. I was too stubborn to let him make me happy. I was going to be happy with him."

The girl is looking at me with wide eyes. I feel my veins and fangs come out. I am really hungry. The girl starts to cry and I remember she is a human. I don't kill people. I am a good vampire.
I compel her, "Forget you ever met me. Wash off your face and go back to wherever you were before you came into this bathroom."
I unlock the door and quickly walk outside. Somebody bumps into me and I can feel my fangs starting to descend. I quickly recompose myself and flash to a forest. I smell backpackers near me. I can't control myself and I am going to hurt someone.
I need to end it. I need to stop myself before I kill somebody. I break off a tree branch and put it above my heart. I hope I get to see my mom. My dad would have wanted it, he hated me as a vampire.
Deep breath Caroline, you can do this.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.

A group of people dies in a plane crash, but their souls are snatched away by an entity called the Highest One, that wants to make them the gods of a new world in order to guide and control its population. One of the passengers, Viktor, protests this, saying that the people of the new world should be entitled to find their own path in life without immortal beings ruling over them. The Highest One then ask Viktor if he really has that much faith in humanity, and after Viktor answer positively he made him into the God of Hell, tasked with redeeming the souls of the damned, as a way to test Viktor's faith in humanity... EDIT: I'm reworking this novel a bit, changing the first chapters from the "screenplay" form to standard prose. I should be done and start a shedule of one chapter per week at the end of february.
