~ I was going to post this chapter yesterday, but I wanted a decent ending... with how I decided to end this chapter, I'm glad I waited (:
katherinemikealson: Thank you, that means a lot... especially since I loved the chapter when I finished it. I'm not thinking about the pregnancy because I'm focusing on when and how Luna's humanity will return.
BloodMoonWanes: I'm not sure if Luna will be with the Salvatores if she goes to New Orleans. If she did go with them she would eventually break away from them and eventually meet Marcel, which would be referenced in episode 20. She will definitely be staying in Mystic Falls when the others go on search for the cure.
Anna.B: Luna will be returning to Mystic Falls practically right away, but not by choice. If she had a say in it, she would have stayed in Italy with Kol. If Kol and Luna partied together (before his death episode) it would be when Kol comes to Mystic Falls in episode 10, unless I make him come back sooner and Luna gets away from Klaus (for example: I could have Kol come back if Luna goes to New Orleans and she sees him there). Luna will have scenes with the others, but not really as 'hanging out'... at least not till the end of the season. I can easily make a reason, that goes along what has already been happening, to make Luna want to go to New Orleans. If I brought Kol in earlier and they meet up there, then she would meet Marcel before episode 20. I was partly planning on Luna being at the school, but not being compelled to tell the truth. Instead she would be helping Kol torture Shane since I wasn't planning to have her humanity fully back by then. That's also when Rebecca would learn (assuming Kol didn't tell her) that Luna has no humanity. It's a good idea that you had about her possibly seeing the hybrids getting killed and her humanity coming back... that gave me an idea that I can incorporate which then leads to one of the things I want to do in episode 10. I'm glad that you are the first review on the last chapter that didn't say anything about the pregnancy (: I hope you can review Out Of Place again... it doesn't have many at the moment.
~ There was some scenes that I was going to put in this chapter, but I decided to leave them out and have more Kluna instead (:
~ If you like this story, I hope you can check out and maybe review my other TVD stories.
ENJOY!
General POV
Luna was still asleep when the humans dug up the hunters sword. Klaus carefully carried Luna to his private jet, which he had taken to Italy. He made sure Luna didn't bump into anything or fall as they made their way back to Mystic Falls. To his surprise, Luna stayed asleep during the whole trip. The whole time, Klaus couldn't take his eyes off of Luna. He held her in his arms and looked at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful, which wouldn't make you believe the things she had done while with Kol. Klaus couldn't help but brush some of her hair behind her ear and he noticed Luna stir beneath him when his fingers touched her face. He wished that Luna would wake and be the Luna that he liked, not someone who was emotionless.
Klaus carefully and slowly carried Luna to the room in his mansion that had some of her stuff. He laid her on the bed and couldn't help but notice how short her hair was. Klaus liked her longer hair and thought it fitted her better than her now short hair. He knew that it would eventually grow back, despite her no longer aging.
"Luna..." Klaus whispered with some worry in his voice. He leaned closer and pressed his lips on her forehead as he closed his eyes. He wasn't used to being emotional but as he got to know Luna, he just couldn't help himself.
"Klaus..." Luna whispered in her sleep, which made Klaus step away from her. He couldn't help but smirk because even without emotions, she was dreaming of him.
"Sweet dreams Luna." He whispered before reluctantly leaving her alone to sleep in the bed.
When Luna started to open her eyes, she realized that she was in her room at Klaus's mansion.
"Of course." She mumbled to herself, not surprised that she was back in Mystic Falls. Luna got out of the bed and went straight to the dresser she had clothes in. There was nothing that really fit her new style, so she just picked out the closest things before tossing them on her bed. She was gonna go shopping to get some more clothes because most of her new stuff was in Italy with Kol.
Luna spend thirty minutes in the shower before walking out with a towel wrapped around her body. Out the corner of her eye, she could see Klaus leaning at her doorway. Neither one of them said anything as Luna slipped off the towel and started to dress herself. Klaus kept his eyes on her.
"You're just as subtle as Kol." Luna said as she began to put on a pair of black jeans. "Both of just stare at my ass without saying a word."
"It is a sight to see." Klaus said just as Luna put on a tank top. He stepped into her room and placed his hands on her sides. "I've missed you, I still do."
"Why do you still miss me if I'm here?" Luna turned around and looked into Klaus's eyes. There was sadness in them, even though he was glad to have her in front of him.
"I miss who you were."
"This is who I am now." Luna moved Klaus's hands off of her sides. "You should get used to it... Kol did." She moved to pick up the heels that she had on from Italy. Klaus was disappointed, even though he knew she had no emotions. He was still mad at his brother, but he was trying to focus on getting Luna's humanity back before he went after Kol.
"I'm not Kol." Klaus said as she finished putting on the heels.
"You're right... he's more fun." Klaus stepped up next to Luna and cupped her face.
"I can be fun." He leaned in and kissed her. "He gets it from me love." Klaus moved his hand down to Luna's shoulder and eventually let it down to her hand. She knew what he was going, but didn't give in. "I'll show you, but first I have some business to attend to."
"You're not going to leave me alone, are you?" Luna asked, knowing that Klaus was just as possessive as Kol. Klaus just gave her a smirk, confirming her question.
"I don't want you to run off on me again." There was sadness in his eyes, remembering when he tried to look for her after he got his body back and couldn't find her.
"I didn't run off on you... I thought you were dead."
"I'm here for you now."
"I don't need you now. I needed you when I was crying my eyes out when I thought you died. When I was almost unable to function until I turned it off when I saw your body go up in flames." Klaus tried to keep the emotion from his face, but Luna could see it. There was a small part of her that was feeling something, but she didn't have it bother her.
"I'll make everything right love." He kissed her on the forehead like he did when she was sleeping. "But first my business." Klaus lightly pulled Luna's hand towards the door and she decided to follow him out, knowing that he would force her if she didn't decide to herself.
Klaus lead Luna to the Lockwood mansion, where he was going to 'check up' on Tyler and some of his other hybrids. He stopped with Luna at his side to see Tyler and Haley in front of each other.
"Well, don't let us interrupt." Klaus said, which made Tyler and Haley stop what they were doing before turning around. They both saw the bored look on Luna's face, but were more concerned about Klaus.
"I didn't know you were here." Tyler said to Klaus.
"Clearly." Luna said before Klaus started to walk into the room. Luna just leaned against the doorway and watched everyone in front of her.
"I just popped round to celebrate Dean's successful retrieval of the vampire hunter." Klaus said as he took a bottle of alcohol and held it in his hand. "Yet when I arrived, I learnt that not only was Dean unsuccessful, but that Elena killed the hunter."
"Well, maybe if you had let Dean use force on Connor instead of sending him in on a suicide mission." Haley said to Klaus because she was upset about Dean's death.
"Maybe you should mind your business, wolf girl." Klaus angrily said to Haley before Tyler spoke up.
"What do you care if Connor's dead anyway?"
"I have my reasons." Klaus said, slightly glancing at Luna who was still being silent. "They've ceased to matter. Cheers." He held up the bottle and took a drink from it. Luna started to walk towards him when there was a knock on the door. She held out her hand for the bottle and Klaus handed it to her.
"I brought your stuff." Caroline said as Luna took a big gulp from the bottle. Luna turned to see Caroline giving a box filled with stuff in it to Tyler. "Old laptop, your jersey, the charm bracelet."
"Care, this isn't a good time." Tyler said.
"Just take it." Caroline shoved the box into Tyler's hands just before Klaus started to take a step towards them.
"Caroline." Caroline folded her arms across her chest. "By the break-up drama unfolding before me I assume you've met Hayley." Behind them, Luna and Haley glanced at each other. Luna knew a Haley once, but wasn't sure if it was the same person. "Alright, come on, let's go. Let's leave them alone. Your talents are needed elsewhere."
"And give up the bottle?" Luna asked, which made everyone look at her.
"You'll get another one later." Klaus said before Luna decided to quickly drink the rest of the bottle. After Luna was done with the bottle, she wiped her mouth and set the it down. She gave a small smirk before walking next to Klaus's side. Klaus signaled the hybrids of his that were in the room to follow him and Luna as they walked out of the Lockwood mansion.
Luna walked along Klaus's side, bored from the events so far.
"I'm bored." Luna said, which made Klaus look at her out the corner of his eye.
"After I get Elena to a safe place, we'll have some fun." Klaus said before sliding his hand into hers.
"If you left me in Italy, I would be having fun right now." Luna said without looking at Klaus. Instead of saying anything to Luna, Klaus pulled out his phone and dialed Stefan.
"I don't want to talk about it." Stefan said the second he answered the phone.
"Well, I can't imagine why, what with you ruining all my plans for a hybrid filled future." Klaus said as Luna listened in on the conversation.
"Well, it wouldn't have happened, if you hadn't sworn me to secrecy." Stefan said from the other end as Klaus continued to walk with Luna.
"Well, life's full of ifs, Stefan. But let's accentuate the positives, shall we? The hunter was one of five,, we'll find another. It may take centuries, but we've got nothing but time, right?" Klaus glanced at Luna, momentarily thinking about how long it would take for her humanity to come back. He didn't want to wait, but he was just glad she was alive.
"You're using your calm voice today." Stefan said, which brought Klaus out of his thoughts about Luna. "Who's getting killed?"
"Not you, if that's what you're worried about. But I am concerned about your beloved. Have the hallucinations started yet?"
"What do you know about that?"
"I'll tell you. Where are you?"
"I'm at her house."
"How convenient, so are we." Klaus said as he stepped onto Elena's porch with Luna. He knocked on the door, which made Stefan answer it. Behind him, Damon looked out and saw Luna. He didn't get a chance to say anything before Stefan closed the door.
Luna and Klaus followed Stefan to the sidewalk. She stood between Klaus and Stefan as they started to talk.
"You know, this would all be a lot more civilized if we were just invited inside." Klaus said to Stefan, meaning him and Luna.
"It's bad enough I'm out here talking to you." Stefan said to Klaus without looking at Luna. "What do you know?"
"I killed the original five hunters, remember? When one kills a hunter, there's a bit of a consequence." Klaus said to Stefan.
"What kind of consequence?" Stefan asked because he was concerned about Elena.
"The hunters were spelled by witches to kill vampires, if you prevent one from fulfilling his destiny then he'll take you down with him."
"What do you mean? Connor's dead."
"I mean, Connor's death won't prevent him from making Elena his final vampire kill. She'll need to come with me now. I'll lock her up, keep her away from any sharp wooden objects."
"She's not going anywhere with you." Luna wasn't saying anything, but she could tell that Stefan still didn't trust Klaus.
"Well, if we leave her alone, she'll take her own life before the day is out."
"She's stronger than that."
"Is she?" Luna asked, which made Stefan and Klaus look at her. She hasn't said much, so Klaus was interested on what she was going to say. "I mean look at me. I seemed strong but when he..." Luna pointed to Klaus "...'died'..." She made air quotes around died "...I became a mess and had to resort to turning my emotions off to survive." Klaus couldn't help but feel guilty. He could never imagine how Luna would react to his death, but that's because he didn't want to. It wasn't his fault, but if he could have let Luna know when he was still in Tyler's body... maybe she would have her emotions back already. "Imagine what would happen to Elena." Luna said, which brought Klaus out of his thoughts. She didn't know exactly what the hallucinations would be, but she was right not knowing how strong or weak a person really was.
"Believe me, it's for her own good." Klaus said, meaning Elena. Klaus and Stefan stared at each other for a few moments before they turned towards the house. Elena had just stepped outside with panic written across her face. Klaus sped towards her, took her in his arms, and sped away.
"Elena!" Damon shouted a few seconds after Klaus disappeared with her. He stood on the porch and looked for Elena, but he was too late. "Where is she?" He asked Luna, who just shrugged.
"Don't know, don't care." Luna said before she sped away.
Luna ended up at one of the most expensive clothing stores in Mystic Falls. Most of her clothes were still in Italy, which meant she had to shop again. Without her humanity, she didn't grumble about having a second shopping trip in a week. She compelled the store clerk to give her all the clothes she wanted for free. Luna stepped out of the dressing room to get a better look of herself in what she decided to try on, when she noticed Klaus.
"I knew you would find me eventually." She said before looking at her reflection. "What do you think?" Luna turned her head towards him.
"You look good love." Klaus said with a small smirk. Luna gave him a faint smile, which Klaus noticed before she went back into the dressing room. Klaus sat on a chair in front of the dressing room so he could see Luna the next time she came out.
"What did you do with Elena?" Luna asked from within the dressing room.
"I have her somewhere safe." Luna started to change from the pants she was trying on. She put on a pair of denim shorts and found a low cut tank top out of what she picked out before. After she made sure they were on, she stepped out of the dressing room. "I'm sorry love." Klaus said, which Luna knew wasn't easy for him to say.
"Doesn't matter love." Luna said after a few moments, imitating his accent. There was a tiny part of Luna that felt something when Klaus said sorry, but like the night before... she pushed it down. She wasn't going to feel because she knew she was going to feel pain and that wasn't something she was going to let happen. "This is good." Luna said to herself about the clothes that she was wearing before going back into the dressing room. She had a pile of clothes that she picked out before Klaus had arrived. The only things missing from her pile was dresses.
Luna went out of the dressing room with the clothes that she didn't want. After putting them on a rack, she went to the dresses. It didn't take her long to pick out some dresses, making sure they weren't all the same color. She brought them back to the dressing room and tried them on without asking Klaus how she looked. After she tried on the dresses and was satisfied with some of them, she changed back into the shorts and tank top she tried on earlier. Luna gathered all the clothes she chose and walked out of the dressing room.
"Before you ask, I'm done shopping." Luna said when Klaus looked at her. She walked to the cashier with the clothes, even though she was getting it all for free.
"Would you like to spend the evening with me?" Klaus asked Luna, hoping to get some time alone with her.
"As fun as it sounds, I'm just going to put the clothes away and read a book or something."
"Perhaps a movie..."
"Sure." Luna said because she knew Klaus would keep offering things for them to do until she said yes. "I'll be at the house." The cashier handed Luna the bags with her clothes in it. "After I get a snack." After Luna had all the bags in her hands, she walked out of the store.
After Luna put all of her clothes away, she decided to read a book in one of the main rooms of Klaus's mansion. She had poured a blood bag into a champagne glass, which she had sitting near her as she read.
"I was wondering when you'd be back." Luna said as she took a sip of blood.
"Did you miss me love?" Klaus asked as he walked closer to her.
"Not really." She said without looking away from the book she was reading. Klaus walked around the couch and stood in front of it. Luna only looked at him for a moment to see him lifting her legs. He sat down and then placed Luna's legs on top of his.
"Are you sure?" Klaus asked with a smirk after Luna looked back at the book. She didn't say anything when he started to rub his fingers up her legs. He started at her ankles and slowly made his way up to her knee. He wanted to spark the feelings she had for him, hoping they were strong enough to break through. Luna's love for him ran so deep that she couldn't deal with his 'death' without turning it off. Klaus thought that if her love was that deep, it would still be underneath her no-humanity exterior. He felt like if he could make her show even a sliver of humanity, then he would be a step closer on getting the Luna he knew back. He slowly brought his fingers past her knee. Luna quickly closed her book and flashed on top of Klaus.
"If you're going to do that again, you should be ready to take it further." She whispered in his ear before kissing him. Klaus's hands went to Luna's back so he could hold her close. Luna's hands went behind Klaus's back and under his shirt. When her hands touched his skin, Klaus quickly sped to his bedroom with her. There they quickly undressed each other and ended up underneath his blankets. "Now I'm not bored." Luna whispered before Klaus flipped on top of her. He would have looked for a sliver of humanity on her face, but he was caught up in the fact that Luna was in his bed with him.
~ Caroline and Tyler are only fake breaking up, like they did in the show. Klaus will still be prusuing Luna, so don't worry about that.
~ The next chapter will probobly be mostly Original stuff, considering this story. I still want to have the Miss Mystic Falls event in the chapter. That way Luna can have the possiblity of bumping into Damon, Tyler and maybe some others. I have an idea on how I can make the chapter end that will lead straight into the events of episode 8... which might be referenced later in the story. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
~ I'm thinking about what to do for episode 8 (We'll Always Have Bourbon Street) since Klaus isn't in it. Either Luna stays in Mystic Falls and the whole chapter is about Klaus trying to spark her humanity or Luna taking a trip to New Orleans with the possibility of bumping into the Salvatores and/or Marcel. I'd like to hear your ideas.
~ Please don't mention the pregnancy until I am done with the first half of season 4. I'd rather hear about when/how you think Luna's emotions will return.
R&R 'till the next update
