So it's been a while since I did one of these, I had planned to do one every like 5-10 chapters or so but there weren't really many questions happening for me to address but now I'm back with another Author's Note to answer some of the questions and concerns people have raised about the story thus far.
What do Klaus's Nightmares mean?: Klaus's nightmares are not meant to be a premonition of danger to come, they are just an after effect of him mentally suffering from Tunde's blade for 12 years. I feel like that kind of torture would definitely leave some lasting scars and Klaus's nightmares are the metaphorical scars. I had always wanted to indicate that Klaus was having some sort of an internal pain because of the torture but there was just so much going on at the beginning of the story that I couldn't really address it without taking away from some other issue that was occurring.
But this does not mean that there isn't some important development happening that is related to Klaus's nightmares. (Keep an eye on Freya y'all, that girl wild lol)
Did Elijah spank Hope for skipping school?: No, he did not. He just lectured her. I didn't think skipping school in this situation was something the Originals would've thought worthy of a spanking. Yeah, she was being irresponsible and whatnot but considering that before this she'd never been to a real school before and who her family is, it seems understandable that she wouldn't take it seriously.
Marcel and Kol, friends or enemies?: Definitely frenemies lol. After a century of being best friends, Marcel is finding it hard to completely disavow his friendship with Kol. He's still not over Kol's basement torture but, with Josh as a buffer between the two, he's starting to see the fun side of his old friend that made him like him in the first place. Kol would like to restart his friendship with Marcel but he can't let go of the fear that Marcel would never forgive him for what he did to him in the basement and so this causes him to push back whenever he feels those feelings of friendship resurfacing.
Will there ever be a scene of Marcel being spanked in front of Hope/Hope and Marcel being spanked together?: I don't really know yet. That would be an extremely humiliating situation for Marcel to be in and I can't really think of an occasion where his actions would call for that sort of humiliation. If it ever does happen, it'll have to be because of something huge.
Where is Rebekah?: This question floored me. There are so many Originals now I can't put them all in every chapter every time, sorry. Sometimes some of them just have to...go shopping or something lol idk.
Why so many spelling errors/inconsistencies?: Not a question anyone's ever asked me but definitely one I think every time I re-read this story. Y'all...I literally never proofread and I'm sorry lol. If anyone knows of any qualified Beta readers who wanna deal with my unintelligible bull, shoot me a PM.
Anyways, that's all the questions I could find. Thank you all so much for all the awesome reviews (WE BROKE 300!) Please leave more and remember that this chapter is being posted on the same day as the chapter before it so don't forget to read that chapter too!
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
