As I Lay Dying

Outfits are same from last chapter and the outfits above are after the two days timeskip!

"While you two are stuffing your faces with your muffins and cupcakes, I need to reveal my important discovery."

"Which is?" Kathleen asks.

"While Andrew here may believe he's the only one to find a comparison to your obsession, he's not." Eun Mi states as Kathleen and Anthony glance amused looks. "Last night, I finally found my obsession and I believe this will strengthen our bond and allow me to beat the competition."

"Eun Mi, it's not a competition-"

"Shut up! I've got fifteen years on you, I was here first! Kiki... It's cream puffs. The cream, the powered sugar... I don't know how I was missing out but now I truly understand your need for buttercup cupcakes. So I believe this should earn me some points."

"Technically those are extra points. You already had points for being a fellow foodie."

"True." Eun Mi nods. "So what do you think of that, Andrew? My cream puffs beats your muffins. 

"...Mimi? Don't get me wrong, I still love you and that will never change... But Anthony added Hershey's Kisses to the cupcakes."

"Kiki! I thought we had something special!" Eun Mi whines.

"Hey, uh... There's something that I need to tell you both... I bit Damon." He says hesitantly.

"...You're a werewolf?" Eun Mi asks.

"Part werewolf. I'm a hybrid, like my dad." He answers.

"Okay... Did he deserve it?" Kathleen asks while picking out a Hershey's kiss from her cupcake and eating it.

"He threatened my dad by attacking me. So after I bit him, my dad compelled him to forget he ever met me... Do you two want me to heal him?"

"It's not possible to cure werewolf bites though."

"Actually, it is possible. Only me and my dad can make that happen but our bites work a little differently. Normal werewolf bites on vampires will cause them to hallucinate. But my bite? They won't hallucinate. After two days, they'll start to feel the pain of their victims and eventually fall into a coma...being tortured by those who's lives they destroyed."

The two girls stare at one another for a moment, communicating with each other through their eyes. They both nod before looking back at Anthony.

"Let him suffer for a bit. I haven't gotten a chance at revenge for him planning to let my cousin die and you just gave me the perfect idea for it." Kathleen replies. "And as a thank you, I'm going to do this." She kisses his cheek, making him blush and Eun Mi's mouth drop wide open.

"KIKI! HOW COULD YOU?!" Eun Mi screams, picking up a cupcake and throwing it at Anthony's face.


Two days later...

Once Klaus wakes up in the woods, clothes are thrown at his face. 

"Is that any way to greet your brother?"

"Tell me something, Niklaus. Why is it only now that I'm finding out that I have a nephew?" He asks, raising an eyebrow at him.

"How did you... That wretched woman." Klaus mutters as he gets dressed.

"You should be thanking her since I spared your life. Now explain yourself."

"Fine. But tell me how long has it been?"

"Almost two days. Full moon came and went. You remained a wolf." Elijah answers while helping Klaus put his jacket on.

"I can change at will, then. It's good to know. I remember everything." Klaus sighs and faces his brother. "His name is Antonius Tobias Mikaelson but her prefers to be called Anthony. I found him abandoned in an alleyway sixteen years ago and raised him as my own ever since. He's like me, a hybrid. The only differences are he isn't part vampire and his werewolf side is different from mine. I kept his identity a secret for his own protection... He's the best thing that ever happened to me and I wouldn't change that for anything."

Elijah stares at his brother after hearing the sincerity in his voice and questions, "Well, will I have a chance to meet him?"

"Of course. You can meet him today. He's been wanting to meet his uncles and aunt for a long time." Klaus answers with a small smile.

"Good... You head on over to Celine's home, I have an errand to take care of. I will meet you back at Mr. Saltzman's apartment. And for your own sake, do not cause any more trouble..." Just as Elijah is about to leave, he turns back around and takes a note out of his coat pocket. "By the way, this paper was on your back before you transformed." 

Klaus takes it and sighs. "...That's what Greta was laughing about." He grumbles. 


"Geu godaeui gang-ajiga bang-geum mwoloago haess-eo?!" (Translate: What did that ancient puppy just say?!)

"What... Did you just call me an ancient puppy?" He asks Eun Mi, frowning.

"Anthony, let's back up a little bit. This might get ugly... I'll get the popcorn!" Kathleen whispers to him before heading to the kitchen, leaving him lightly chuckling at her actions.

"I let you into my home-"

"You didn't let me in, Kathleen did." He retorts.

"Klaus Mikaelson! If you think you're taking my baby girl out of town, you've got another thing coming! Sit your hybrid pup ass down!"

Klaus jumps and recomposes himself. He then quickly takes a seat on the couch.

"Do you honestly expect me to leave my son here for the whole summer?"

"And do you expect me to let you take my daughter on a hiking trip just so you can create some more puppies?!" Celine takes off her shoe to throw it at Klaus which he dodges.

"Yeah! What Mama Linnie said!" Eun Mi grabs a couch pillow and throws it at Klaus' head which he also dodges.

"Now hold on, I don't appreciate this teamwork against me."

"Oh yeah? Well I don't appreciate you coming into my house, yapping your mouth about how you need to breed! Humph! Your brother has more class than you."

"Since I am in your home, I'll just ignore the breeding comment. And how long did it take for you to let my brother in?"

"I let him in right away." Celine answers him with a smirk.

"Wh... But I'm let in after fifteen minutes?! It would have been longer had it not been for Kathleen!"

"It's simple, really... I. Don't. Like. You... Bitch."

The two glare at each each as Eun Mi grabs Celine's shoe and returns it to her.

"Listen here, you ancient puppy. Adam will be hanging out with Kiki, Jer and me for the summer. We'll be going to Myrtle Beach for the festivities."

"Alone?" They both nod. "And you're okay with this? What will you be doing?"

"I'm a fashion designer. I won't have time to be the kids since I'll be going to Spain this summer and will be busy with a lot of fashion shows." Celine answers.

"There's not another adult who stay with them?"

"My big sister is out of town at the moment but she will be meeting up with us there once she's done with her work. Look, you can go three months without Adam. He's a big boy." Eun Mi tells him with a smile.

"His name is Anthony, why are you calling him Adam?"

"That's him name for the day! He takes whatever name I give him! It's part of his punishment for trying to steal Kiki from me!"

"Are you that jealous? You do know those two are soulmates, so you're not really any competition." Klaus says without thinking.

"...Mama Linnie. Before I go get the broom and bat, is it okay if I get the first hit in?" Eun Mi asks, glaring at Klaus.

"Go on ahead, little one." Celine answers and Eun Mi leaves the living room.

"Anthony, I think your dad just surpassed Elena and the Salvatore brothers at being the biggest dummy to exist." Kathleen whispers to Anthony as the two watch from the sidelines.

"Yeah, I think you're right." He whispers back.

"Want to know something? The feeling is mutual, you wicked woman."


"You guys are back." Katherine greets the father-son duo as they return to Alaric's apartment. "Look who decided to come for a visit."

Once Anthony lays eyes on his uncle, he turns to his father with a big smile. Klaus smiles at his son's excitement and nods.

"You must be Antonius. Well, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance. I'm-" Elijah is cut off when Anthony rushes over to hug him.

"Uncle Elijah."

Surprised by the sudden hug, Elijah slowly reciprocates it with a small smile. Eventually, he looks up at his brother and frowns.

"Niklaus, what is that handprint on your face?"

"Dad said something that he shouldn't have. He kinda pissed off my girl's mom." Anthony tells his uncle.


"Are you calm now?" Kathleen asks Eun Mi and places a bowl in front of her. "Here, I got you some japchae."

"Oh, thank you! I needed this... The amount of stress that I already go through because of the Elena drama. At this rate, that ancient puppy will give me wrinkles."

"Now he knows not to piss you or mom off. Anthony and I nearly spit out our lemonade when Mimi threatened to cut off Klaus' "banana". That's what you're going to call them?"

"That's what Sun Hee told me to call it!"

Kathleen shakes her head, chuckling softly and happily eats some of the noodles that her best friend offers. Bonnie and Caroline make their arrival.

"My munchkins!" Caroline squeals, pulling them both into a hug. "So his name is Anthony, huh? Eun Mi told me everything! Tell me is it official yet?" She sends a smirk Kathleen's way.

Kathleen sends a glare Eun Mi's way who shrugs in return.

"I... We're taking it slow..." Kathleen mumbles.

"Well let me know when it finally happens. I've been waiting for the moment when you finally get a boyfriend. Eun Mi, you're next!" Caroline giggles.

"Hey, I'm not dating until I'm nineteen. Whoever want me, gonna have to wait for this." Eun Mi tells her, making Caroline playfully roll her eyes.

"Hey... Kathy, can we talk? It's important." Bonnie asks.

"Mama Bear, do you know what it's about?" Caroline nods. "Okay, then talk. Whatever you want to say, you can say it in front of Mimi."

Bonnie sighs. "The reason that Elena is came back to life is because John asked for help. There was a spell that would trade his life for hers."

"So that's how John died... I can't be mad at you because it was his choice to sacrifice himself. A parents love for their child, right? At least that man did something right for once. Does my mom know?"

"I just told her and she's not mad like you are. Like mother, like daughter."

"Thank you for the compliment. Come here." Kathleen opens her arms wide and Bonnie goes in for a hug.

"So did you finally get a boyfriend? He's cute. Caroline showed me the picture." Bonnie teases.

Kathleen sends another glare Eun Mi and Caroline's way and they both smirk in return. 

"He's not my boyfriend!"

"Yet, unfortunately. I thought Kiki would be mine forever." Eun Mi sighs dramatically.

"You shouldn't even be teasing me about Anthony with your crush on Sunny!" Kathleen says, earning a smack on the arm from a blushing Bonnie.

"Girls! Elijah stopped by and left some gifts!" Celine calls for them.

They join Celine in the living room and spot two big boxes with holes on the floor. One box has Kathleen's name and the other has Eun Mi's name. The best friends give each other intrigued expressions before. They unwrap the ribbon from their own box and open it, finding...

"What's in the boxes, sweethearts?"

"...OH MY GOD!!!" Both the girls shout.

Looks like Elijah got them the kitten and baby fox after all!


"Where is the rest of our family, Niklaus?"

"Before you we get to that... Dad."

"Yes, my son?"

"Hand it over." Anthony says as he holds his hand out.

"...Hand what over?" Klaus asks with an innocent smile.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"No, I don't."

"So you don't have the dagger on you, right now?"

"Of course not!"

"Yes, you do."

"No, I do not."

"Do."

"Not."

"Do."

"Not."

"Not."

"Do."

Klaus realizes what he has done and groans at his defeat.

"Dad, give me the damn dagger."

"Language!" Klaus chides, taking out the dagger from his coat pocket.

"Where did I get it from?" Anthony retorts, taking the dagger.

Elijah and Katherine watch the father-son duo with amused expressions.

"Katerina, are they always like this?"

"Yep. But since Klaus is so whipped, Anthony always wins." Katherine explains with a smirk.

A knock on the door interrupts them.

"Klaus! I need your help...for my brother!"

Katherine vamp speeds Anthony to the bedroom and motions him to be quiet. When she is about to leave, he grabs her arm.

"Wait. Whatever my dad does, trust him." He whispers to her.

She nods and returns to the the living room, seeing Stefan glaring at Elijah.

"You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own."

"And so I shall." Klaus stands next to his brother, patting him on the shoulder. "Now what is it that you want, Mr. Salvatore?"

"My brother has been bitten and the witches said you had a cure. Make me a deal. Just give me the cure, and I'll do whatever you want."

"Really?" Klaus nods and vamp speeds to Stefan, stabbing him through the stomach with a stake. Stefan groans and buckles forward, falling to the floor.

 Trouble is I don't know if you'd be any good to me the way you are now. You are just shy of useless."

"Niklaus, must you make such a mess? He will get blood all over the floor. You do remember this is Mr. Saltzman's apartment."

"I'll clean it up, Elijah." Klaus sighs. "I see that you're still such a clean freak."

Elijah rolls his eyes while Klaus pours himself a glass of blood.

"Now Stefan. I heard about this one vampire, crazy bloke, always on and off the wagon for decades. When he was off, he was magnificent. 1917, he went into Monterrey and wiped out an entire migrant village... A true ripper. Sound familiar?"

"I haven't been that way in a very long time." Stefan groans pulls out the stake and gets up.

"Well, that's the vampire I can make a deal with. That is the kind of talent that I can use when I leave this town... Katerina, come here."

Klaus changes into his hybrid face, taking Katherine's arm and biting it. Thinking about what Anthony told her, she remains calm. He then bites his own wrist and makes her drink his blood. The two younger vampires are shocked to see her wound heal.

"You want your cure? There is it."

"Your blood is the cure."

"Gotta love Mother Nature." Klaus walks over to Stefan, placing his hand on his shoulder and guides him over to the kitchen island. "Let's talk, you and I."

After forcing Stefan to drink multiple blood bags, Klaus shows him a vial containing his blood. They finally make a deal and Klaus snaps his neck.

"Guess he fell for it."

Everyone looks to see a smirking Anthony coming back into living room.

"What do you mean?" Elijah asks.

"That isn't my blood, brother. It's Anthony's." Klaus replies with a smirk, shaking the vial.

"I'm the one who bit Damon Salvatore because he had attacked me. My dad compelled him to forget about me after that. My bite works very differently from normal werewolves and only my blood can cure him. We just tricked them into thinking that only my dad's blood is what can heal werewolf bites or at least Damon's bite... They have no idea about me." Anthony explains with a smug look.

"...He's truly your son with him being this diabolical." Elijah says.

"Thank you." The father-duo son both say.

"Sweetheart. Take this over to Damon and...you're free." Klaus says holding out the vial for Katherine to take.

"...What?" She asks, baffled.

"After much convincing Anthony, I've decided to give you your freedom. You don't have to run anymore. And... I know that you most likely won't accept my apology but... I am sorry for everything. You forced yourself to become a vampire and I killed your family as payback. Then I chased you for centuries... So the least I can do is give you your freedom back. Be happy and live the life that you want."

Katherine stares at Klaus, eyes glistening with tears and then looks over at Anthony.

"...Thank you." She whispers to him.

Anthony smiles and nods. Katherine then takes the vial and vamp speeds out of the apartment.

"Now my little prince, there's something that we need to talk about... You see, there was something interesting found on my back." He pulls out Anthony's prank note from his coat pocket.

"KLAUS MIKAELSON IS A WHOLE SIMP FOR CELINE BENNETT"

End of Act I

Here we are! The last chapter of this act and the last update of this series and I start my hiatus! Remember no "Please update!" or "Update soon!" None of that, okay? We have a life outside of wattpad! I gotta take a break!

So I also wanted to let you all know I went back and made a couple changes. So I learned a few things about Korean names and I know how hard it is to pronounce some of them. So what I decided to do is only Kathleen, Anthony, Jeremy, Celine, Caroline and the Mikaelsons can properly say her Eun Mi's name. While as everyone else will call her by her English name which is Emilia. As for Kol? You'll to wait and see to what he calls her.

What do you think about Anthony, Kathleen and Eun Mi so far? I can't wait to write the friendship between them with Jeremy included!

Mama Linnie and Mimi vs Klaus? That was my favorite part to write!😂

Is it alright that I had Kathleen make up with Bonnie now? I didn't want it dragging out to season 3.

What about Anthony's plan? And what did you think of Klaus' apology to Katherine and giving her freedom?

Next act, we will finally be meeting Eun Mi's older sister! And I'll be back with this series between August and September!
