Luna's POV
I ended up staying up well past midnight. I fell asleep during one of the Chucky movies, but I wasn't really sure what one it was. The TV was still on because I could hear it through my sleep.
"Ughh." I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes, even though I was trying to sleep. I moved so I could reach the TV remote and I turned off the TV. "More sleep." I mumbled to myself before laying my head on my pillow. My body was still tired, but I could hear voices coming from down the hall. "Stop talking so I can sleep." I said, hoping that they had supernatural hearing and actually listened to me. After what seemed like hours, I knew they weren't going to stop. I opened my eyes, deciding to see who was talking and keeping me from sleeping. I slowly got out of my bed, put on my blue bathrobe, and walked down the hall.
I walked through the hall and noticed Rebecca's door was open. When I stepped in front of it, I immediately noticed Klaus. He looked surprised to see me and even though I was surprised, I tried to hide it.
"I was trying to sleep." I said to him before noticing Stefan standing in front of him. "Why are you here?" I asked Stefan.
"It seems that Stefan slept with my sister." Klaus said to me. I pretended like he didn't say anything to me, but he knew I heard him.
"This is my place, Nik, and I don't appreciate you invading my privacy like some kind of creeping tom." Rebecca said as she walked out of her bathroom, wearing a robe.
"Well, I apologize for breaking up this sordid little tryst, but I do have some urgent business." Klaus said to his sister. "Or have you forgotten, our paranoid brother Kol is running around with the white oak stake and homicide on the brain?"
"He tried to kill me last night. I didn't forget." Rebecca said to him.
"And I tried to stop him." I said, which made everyone look at me. "I'm not letting him kill my best friend." I could tell that Klaus was looking at me with interest in his eyes. It was true what I said. I would do whatever I could do to keep the remaining people in my life from dying.
"Well, unfortunately he seems to have absconded with my set of daggers." Klaus said to Rebecca, even though I knew he heard what I said.
"Oh, poor Nik. How ever will you get your way without your precious daggers? They were so handy when you wanted to end a conversation with one of us!" Rebecca said with anger at her brother and I didn't say anything.
"Kol's irrational fear of Silas has pushed him over the edge. We need to put him down before he does any more damage. Now, I know you have the last dagger, and I know you have some white ash, so hand it over." Klaus said and I rolled my eyes.
"And leave herself unprotected?" I leaned against the doorway to Rebecca's room. "Sure, I can help her... but she has more insurance with that dagger."
"That means you can file that request under 'no chance in hell.' Be gone by the time I have showered. Lurkers aren't welcome here." Rebecca said before going into her bathroom and starting a shower.
"Since there's no chance of me going back to sleep, I'll take her idea." I said before walking back to my room.
I looked through my drawers for something to wear. Most of it Rebecca had bought me after my mom got murdered, but some of them were snuck from Klaus's place. I was taking out a tank top when I could feel him stand at the door way. A part of me wanted to talk to him, but I felt like if I did then I would say something that I couldn't take back. After picking out a pair of jean shorts and a purple tank top, I put them in the bathroom that was connected to my room before walking back out of it. I noticed the empty blood bags from before I fell asleep. They went straight into the garbage that was also in my room before I began to make my final trip into the bathroom. I didn't even make one foot into bathroom before getting pulled back into Klaus's arms. All I could do was let out a gasp, because I was surprised. My chest was against his and my hands were held by his. I just looked at his shirt, not wanting to look in his eyes just yet.
"I never thought your mother would get killed." Klaus said to me in a soft tone. "I'm sorry." I closed my eyes because I could already feel tears gather. If there was one person that I didn't want to cry in front of, that would be Klaus. I wanted to into the bathroom and take a shower, but I just couldn't get my body to move. I think Klaus could sense that because I felt one of his hands move and lift my chin up. "Open your eyes love." He whispered, but I shook my head. "I'm not going to compel you, I promise." I could feel more tears gather and a few of them run from my eyes. My eyes didn't want to open, but I slowly opened them because I knew Klaus would keep asking until I opened them. I looked in his eyes and I saw sadness through my tears. He used the hand that he lifted my head with to wipe away some of my tears.
"I hate crying." I said so softly that you had to have supernatural hearing to know what I said.
"I know love. I'm sorry." I felt myself break down and just wrap my arms around him. I buried my head into his chest. It took me a few minutes to calm myself and stop crying. "Spend the day with me." He said when I stopped crying. I lifted my head from his chest and looked him in the eyes.
"I just want to spend today alone." I gave him a small smile, to let him know I was okay before I slowly went into the bathroom.
I closed the door and leaned my back against it. I let out a deep sigh before I started my shower.
I spent most of the day by myself in Rebecca's house. She went to the canceled dance with Stefan. Throughout the day, I found myself day-dreaming about doing the same thing...but with Klaus. I would be lying if I said I didn't have the same day-dreams including Kol. My mind was all over the place when it came to what I felt for the two of them. I sat down on the couch, tilted my head back and closed my eyes.
"My life used to be so much simpler." I thought out loud to myself before feeling someone sit next to me on the couch. I didn't have to look to know who it was. "What do you want Kol."
"Can't I sit to you without wanting anything?" He asked and I opened my eyes so I could look at him.
"No." I said and he smirked at me. "So, what do you want?"
"To spend time with my precious ginger." I sped on top of Kol and put my hand around his neck.
"Don't call me a ginger." I said because I always got mad when people called me ginger, even though I was one. He sped so I was under him and he was the one holding my neck. We looked into each others eyes before he laid his lips on mine. I gave into what my body wanted and brought my hands to his back. "Kol." I whispered before feeling his hands go towards my waist. His fingers started to slip into my shorts, but my hands stopped him by grabbing his wrists. "Don't." I whispered as I moved his hands up my sides. There was a part of me that did want to do it with Kol, but another part felt like I was betraying Klaus if I did.
"Why not?" He asked as he kissed down my neck.
"You know why."
"Because you still love my brother?" He asked as he looked into my eyes. I just nodded my head. "But why are you not with him?"
"I wanted to be alone today."
"And now?"
"Not so much." As he continued to look in my eyes, he brushed some of my hair behind my ear.
"Care to join me at the Gilbert's?" I couldn't help but think about spending more time with Kol. I already had an invitation into that house when Jeremy and I hung out after Homecoming. The answer he wanted to hear was different than the one I was thinking of giving him, but I kept thinking about it. "I'll buy you a couple drinks." He offered with a small smirk.
"Even though I almost never say no to a free drink, I'm going to stay here."
"Then after I'm done with my business there, I'll come back." He kissed me. "I'll be back by midnight." I was going to say something, but before I could he had sped away. I just laid on the couch, trying to think of when Kol started to actually care about me.
General POV
Luna sat on a bench that was in the backyard of Rebecca's house. She was already waiting for Kol, even though it wasn't midnight. There was a part of her that was worried about Kol because she knew that the Gilbert's didn't like him. Luna knew he could handle himself, but there was still a strong sense of worry. 'Maybe I should check on him.' She thought before pulling out her phone. She held it in her hands for a few seconds before texting him. When she didn't get a reply, she got worried and made up her mind about checking up on him.
Luna sped to the Gilbert house only to see Klaus standing inside, looking in the kitchen. She looked at he was looking at and put two and two together.
"No." She whispered, which made Klaus realize that she was there. "He..he can't be..." Klaus turned towards her just as she sped into the kitchen. She kneeled down next to Kol's burnt body, holding back the tears. "No." She slowly brought her hand up to his face because she didn't believe what she saw. "You can't... you promised." She said to Kol's body, wanting him to hear her. "You said you'd come back." The tears fell from her eyes, no matter how hard she tried to fight them. "Don't be dead please. I can't lose anyone else." Luna was so absorbed by Kol's body in front of her, she didn't realize that Klaus was looking at her with sorrow in his eyes. He was sad not only because he lost his brother, but also because of the way it affected Luna. "Kol...please." Luna held his burnt hand, hoping that he would squeeze her hand back. She started to look over his body, hoping that he would heal from being burnt. She couldn't help but notice something in his burnt pocket, that didn't look burnt. Her hand reached over his body and slowly took it out. It was a tiny box that was lightly signed from the fire that burnt Kol. Her eyes looked back at Kol, who remained burnt and unmoving. 'Was he going to give this to me?' She asked herself before slowly opening the box. Inside was a silver ring with a crescent moon on it. 'Like my necklace' Luna thought before bringing one of her hands to her neck. 'What happened to it?' She thought, finally realizing that it was missing. Her necklace broke off her when she turned the night her mother was murdered, but she never noticed. Luna looked at the ring and took it out the box. A small smile appeared on her face before slowly slipping it on her right hand. "Kol..." She whispered through fresh tears as she looked back at his face. In her mind, she could picture his smile, hear his laugh, and even feel his touch. "How?" She asked louder and towards Klaus. Klaus didn't respond, which made Luna take a deep breath and turn her head towards him. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes, both for the lose of Kol. Klaus didn't answer and he couldn't reach Luna because he was trapped from Bonnie's spell. Luna could see the torture in his eyes and sped to him, wrapping her arms around his body. "I can't be alone and neither can you." Klaus couldn't help but wrap his arms around Luna as she buried her face in his chest.
~ It might not be the best ending, but I felt it was just as emotional as the other version of the end that I had in mind.
~ I was going to have Luna with Kol when he talks with Elena, (so she could be invited in) but I looked back at the season 3 events (The Other Hybrid) and I figured out that there was a time where Luna could have been invited in (by Jeremy of course and without Elena knowing.) so I could change the chapter plans a bit. Hopefully you won't mind... especially with what happened in this chapter and the next two.
~ Since the next chapter is based from the episode 'Into The Wild'... I'm thinking on how Luna will react to when Klaus bites Caroline. And some of the Kluna (Klaus/Luna) scenes that I can put in it.
~ There was no helpful reviews on the last chapter (Helpful reviews are more than one word and help me decide on what to do with future chapters). Please, if you review (if you like this story, you should review) then say something about what you liked or didn't like in the chapter, what you want to see in future chapters and just anything that you think is helpful.
~ The next chapter might take a little bit to come out because I want to get the first chapter for my first story that will go along season 1 of The Originals. It includes my OC Chelsea (I have list of stories that she is in on my profile). The story will be called 'Down The Rabbit Hole' and hopefully it will be posted within the next couple of days (:
ENJOY!
