~ I decided to update twice this week because I don't know how often I'll be able to update within the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to continue once a week but I'm not sure.
Nicole: I was going to say why the ring was in Kol's pocket, but then I realized that Kol comes back as a ghost and his ghost will have scenes with Luna, so I'll have his ghost explain why it was in his pocket (: That won't be until episode 22 (The Walking Dead). Kol was and still is a major part of Luna's life during this season. He took her in when she turned off her humanity and he didn't have to. Kol cared enough to make sure she didn't get killed in Italy and he kept her away from Marcel in their visit to New Orleans. Hopefully I'll be able to have him say how he truly feels about her when he comes back later on. To me it seems that Klaus and Luna were drifting apart because she had turned it off and her mother got murdered by the hybrids that Klaus killed. In the last scene of the last chapter, I think it was just the emotion of the situation that caused Luna to hug Klaus like she did. They both do love each other, but she hasn't said it to him since the season 3 events. There might be some memory sharing between Klaus and Luna in the next chapter (when Tyler and Caroline aren't there). When it comes to Klaus's feelings, I think we might have to wait a little bit because of what will be happening within the next few chapters, but I will try to get them in before their trip to New Orleans. I'm actually still thinking about who Klaus will sleep with. There are a couple of ideas I have for the spin-off... some of them are if he sleeps with Haley, but it all depends. I want to have a Klaus/Luna/Marcel triangle in the spin-off, so whoever I make Klaus sleep with...it has to fit that.
mrstomdaley1996: In season 3, Luna sort of acted in a similar way towards Klaus (after he killed her father) but now since she's lost both her mom and Kol this season... it might take a little longer (or just one huge thing) for Luna to admit out loud to Klaus that she still loves him. In a way she's like him because they don't want to get close to someone because they're afraid to lose them one they admit it.
Anna.B: It wasn't his fault that he broke the promise, but I had to create a way for her to become worried about him and check up on him... which leads to her finding out that he's dead. Kluna is the end game for this season, but there's going to be Klaus/Luna/Marcel (hopefully) whenever I get to The Originals events for Luna. In the second to last episode of season 4, Kol comes back as a ghost so he'll be back in this story. If he ever comes back in The Originals, then there will be more Koluna scenes (: Luna's not really friends with the Mystic Falls gang anymore, except when Elena turns of her humanity.. like the Rebecca/Elena friendship in the show. I don't think Luna will object to Klaus biting Caroline, because of reasons that will hopefully be explained in this chapter. If I can do it, I think the chapter for Stand By Me will be mainly Kluna scenes...the two of them still affected by Kol's death and Klaus trying to talk Luna and making up for not being around her much since her mother died. The Originals story for Chelsea, 'Down The Rabbit Hole' should be posted by the time you see this (: I have plans for her to have scenes with Elijah (when I get to him being undaggered) as well as Chelsea having scenes with Marcel and the others. I'm still trying to think of things that I'll put in it, but you'll have to wait and read those chapters for yourself (:
ENJOY!
General POV
Klaus was laying on a couch. He was awake, looking at Luna. She was laying on him, with her head on his chest. Luna stayed the night with Klaus because neither one of them wanted to be alone. He couldn't help but realize how fragile Luna was, which she spend a lot of time trying to hide. It didn't help that she lost two people she cared for in a week. As Klaus brushed some hair behind Luna's ear he thought of how similar they were. They both tried to hide how emotional they could get and would protect those they care about.
As Klaus started to put his arm over Luna's side, she started to move. Luna yawned and slowly opened her eyes, to see the inside of the Gilbert house. She could feel Klaus's arm around her, so she slipped her free hand through his.
"Are you awake?" She asked after yawning again.
"Yes I am love." Klaus whispered to her as he kissed the top of her head. "How did you sleep?"
"I barely did." She honestly said to Klaus. "I kept thinking about them." Luna closed her eyes, trying to push the images of the dead bodies of the people she lost. "My dad, mom..." she sighed "...even Kol." Klaus's thumb rubbed the back of her hand. "Everytime I closed my eyes, their dead bodies..." Tears started to gather in Luna's eyes. "I lose everyone."
"Not everyone." Luna tilted her head up so she could look at Klaus's face. 'I haven't lost him' She thought before she found herself showing a small smile. There were tears falling from her eyes and Klaus noticed. He moved so her head wouldn't be on his chest anymore. They were sitting next to her and was able to wipe the tears from her face.
"Are you hungry?" Luna asked after a few minutes of looking into Klaus's eyes. "I can make something. Or order something." They couldn't help but look at each other. "Pizza, Chinese...or I can go out and get breakfast."
"Stay here. We'll order pizza." Luna just gave him a small nod. She laid her head on his shoulder and felt his arm wrap around her. They didn't have to order right away. All she wanted to do was stay near him and feel like she wasn't alone.
Luna's POV
I sat on the couch while Klaus stood behind me, looking at Kol's body. I didn't want to look at it because I felt like I would start crying. My fingers fidgeted with the ring I found in his pocket. In my mind, I played over different scenes where he would have given it to me, but none of them were going to come true. 'Why did they have to kill you?' I thought, sort of hoping that he could hear my thoughts. I took a deep breath before realizing Tyler walked into the house. It took all of my self control not to attack him for everything that has happened.
"Morning, sunshine." Tyler said to Klaus, obviously ignoring the fact I was there. "You look pathetic."
"Only until Bonnie's spell locking me in here wears off." Klaus said and without looking I knew he turned to face Tyler. "Then I'll look different. Angrier, perhaps. Or I won't look like anything because I'll have gouged your eyeballs from their sockets."
"That is if I don't get to you first." I threatenly said to Tyler, wanting him to leave.
"My friends will be back with the cure by then. So, I could shove it down your throat and make you mortal." I couldn't control myself so I sped towards Tyler. We fought for a little bit, but I managed to pin him against the wall.
"If anyone is getting the cure shoved down their throat, it's you." I said to him with my hybrid features showing. "You got the hybrids unsired and they killed my mom. Someone's got to pay." Tyler managed to get out of my grip and we started to fight again. He was about to hit me, but then I realized that I was in the area where Klaus was trapped. When Tyler's fist went towards me, I pulled him in and Klaus kicked him as hard as he could. Tyler flew against the wall and groaned in pain.
"I'm an Original." Klaus said, getting back to Tyler's original point. "What makes you think my entire vampire bloodline won't be cured along with me? I.e., you."
"You know what I think?" Tyler asked as he groaned from pain. "I think that's impossible. I think the moment you stop being a vampire, our whole blood connection to you is broken, and your sire-line ceases to exist. So, whatever happens to you, happens only to you, which means I can kill your ass and no one else has to die. Although I am still debating just how to do it." I was going to speed towards Tyler, but Klaus held both of my arms backwards, stopping me from attacking.
"I recommend drowning." Klaus said as he kept hold of me. I was trying to slip my arms out of his grip so I could attack Tyler. "There's nothing quite like the feeling of someone fighting for something as basic as human breath. And let me tell you, your mother was a fighter." I kept my eyes on Tyler, wanting to attack him again. "Settle down love." Klaus whispered in my ear as I continued to try and get out of his grip. "You'll get your chance."
"I don't want to wait." I said as I glared at Tyler. I knew he was a hybrid like me and didn't have any parents left, but it was practically his reason for my mom being dead. Nothing else about him mattered. "I just want to land one punch." I knew my hybrid features were showing again because of Tyler's expression.
"If you do, you'll never stop." Klaus said, still keeping me in his grip.
"That doesn't matter." I managed to get one arm out of Klaus's grip, but then her turned me around so our chests were against each other.
"Trust me love, now's not the time for revenge." I couldn't help but look Klaus in the eyes. "After you settle down, I'll help you plan your revenge." He looked behind me, towards Tyler. "Right down to every bloody detail." I knew in his own way he was threatening Tyler by saying he would help me. When Klaus looked back at me, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It took me a few minutes before I calmed down and opened my eyes.
"Okay." He kissed me on the forehead, but I made no movement. I put my head against his chest and tried not to get angry because Tyler was also in the house.
I stayed in the living room with Klaus, mainly because he wouldn't let me leave. He knew if I got out, I would go after Tyler. I knew it would calm the anger inside, but I could try and wait. I looked at Klaus when I heard the back door open because I didn't know who it was.
"You're still here? What are you doing?" When I looked I saw Caroline standing in the kitchen.
"Gloating." Tyler said to her as he looked towards me and Klaus.
"Gloating on how I beat you up?" I asked with a smirk, which made Caroline turn towards me.
"Luna..." Caroline said when saw me, but I ignored her.
"I can always beat you up again."
"Come home." Caroline said to Tyler as Klaus stepped closer to the barrier by them. "Don't stoop to his level."
"He destroyed my life. I plan on being present for every second of his misery until I can kill him myself." Tyler held a glass of liquor up in the air as he looked towards us.
"Fine. You can gloat and multitask. This place is a disaster. Starting with a horrific burnt corpse." Caroline said, which made me angry.
"That corpse has a name." I said with anger towards her. I couldn't help but look at Kol and feel sad. 'He should be given a proper burial' I thought as they started to cover him up with a tablecloth. I closed my eyes and looked away, trying not to picture Kol as a burnt corpse.
"Tyler's mother is dead. So is my brother. We're even." Klaus said to the others as I just tried not to think about Kol. "Call Bonnie. Get her to let me out of here."
"I will never, ever, help you." Caroline said and I could tell that she was angry with Klaus.
"How quickly you forget the part where I saved Tyler from the misery of being a werewolf. Or the night your mother invited me into her home to save the life of her precious daughter." I reluctantly looked at Klaus and Caroline, not knowing what was going to happen.
"How delusional are you? You killed his mother. And let's not forget that we're standing in a house where Elena's aunt Jenna used to live. Or did you think that your charm would make us forget how you killed her, too?" 'He's killed a lot of people' I couldn't help but think as Caroline continued. "You know what? No. I am not going to engage in this. You are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you." I watched with some shock when Klaus took the near by lamp that sat on the floor, stuck in in Caroline and pulled her into the room.
"No!" Tyler yelled as Klaus bit Caroline's neck. I watched her body fall to the ground.
"Now, that was definitely worth the calories." Klaus said to Tyler. I got off the couch and walked around to Caroline, who was in shock that she was bit.
"It doesn't look too bad." I said because I felt that I should try something to make her feel better. She looked up and me and I knew that she was in pain. "I'll help you up." I said to her, feeling that she didn't deserve it as much as Tyler. Since Tyler was a hybrid, a wolf bite wouldn't affect him.
After Caroline stepped out of the living room, Tyler helped her onto one of the couches that was away from Klaus.
"Oh my god, oh my god." Caroline mumbled and I couldn't help but look at Klaus. He was looking at Caroline and Tyler. He didn't look sad for what he did, which I sort of expected from him.
"Hey, hey. Look at me. Look at me. I can fix this." Tyler gently said to Caroline, which made me look towards them.
"How? The only thing that can heal me is his blood!" Caroline brought her hand to where Klaus bit her and felt the wound. "Oh my god..." As I looked at how Tyler looked at Caroline, I couldn't help but think of me and Klaus. If it was us in their positions, we would probably be acting the same way.
"I know. I'll fix it." Tyler gently said and I realized that he really loved Caroline. He stood and looked straight at Klaus.
"She'll die if you don't heal her." Tyler said to Klaus.
"Okay." Klaus bit into his wrists and held them up. "Beg me to save her life." I shook my head, not liking how he was acting. I knew I was mad at Tyler and wanted revenge, but Caroline had nothing to do with my plans.
"Is this what you want?" Tyler asked Klaus. "To remind me that I'm powerless against you? Fine. You win. I'm nothing. Now save her. Please."
"I'm sorry, mate. I didn't quite catch that."
"Please."
"Please..." Klaus was trying to make Tyler beg to save Caroline. I didn't exactly agree with it, but I didn't say anything.
"Please save her life."
"See, now I think you're just telling me what I want to hear. I mean, you did call me pathetic earlier. And wouldn't it be more pathetic of me to help now, knowing that hours ago, you announced your plan to kill me in a manner in which you're debating because you want it to have a certain amount of flair? I'm just asking."
"I'll be your slave again." Tyler said, which slightly shocked me. "I'll do whatever you want. Just help her."
"No."
"Get me out of here." Caroline said, which made me look at her. "I can't even look at him."
"Come on." Tyler helped Caroline up and I watched as they walked out of the house.
I stood in my spot, looking at the door that they walked out of.
"You could have healed her." I said to Klaus, which made him turn towards me.
"If I healed her, then that would be too easy." He smirked at me, which I chose to ignore. "Call it me helping you with your revenge."
"I wouldn't have done that." I said, meaning the part about not healing her. "I wanted to hurt Tyler, not Caroline."
"Tyler is hurt."
"I mean physically hurt, not emotional." Klaus looked at me with some interest in his eyes. "I'm not heartless...at least not anymore." My mind flashed back to everything I did when my emotions were off and I didn't care what I did. "Besides, I don't want help with revenge." Klaus stepped towards me and I stepped back. "I'm getting a drink." I walked into the kitchen and I couldn't help but look down at Kol's covered corpse. 'I wish you were still here' I thought before looking for a glass to pour some liquor in.
I sat in the kitchen with a bottle in my hand instead of a glass. Klaus and I didn't say anything to each other, which was uncomfortable. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say that he didn't already hear. My eyes went from looking at Klaus's back to the front door. Tyler carried Caroline in and placed her just inside the barrier.
"You want to be in control, Klaus?" Tyler asked, which made Klaus turn towards them. "Here. Now you get to be in control of her life. If you want her to die, fine. But then you can sit here and watch her die yourself." After Tyler left, I moved so I could get a better look at Caroline.
"Nothing personal, love. If I cure you, that means victory for him." Klaus said to Caroline. "Don't worry. It won't be long now." I put the bottle down and walked over to Caroline.
"Come on..." I slowly put my arms under her and picked her up "...if he's not going to heal you, I'm not letting you die on the floor." I gave Klaus a quick glance before putting her on the couch behind Klaus. I sat on the table in front of the couch, and looked at the bite mark on her neck. 'That looks like it hurts' I thought because I never saw a werewolf or hybrid bite up close before.
I sadly looked at Caroline before looking at Klaus. He was leaning against the wall, looking towards Kol's corpse, which made me feel sad. Instead of saying anything to him, I stood up and walked to the opposite side of the room.
"If you don't feed me your blood, I'll die." I could hear Caroline say to Klaus after what felt like hours.
"Then you'll die, and Tyler will have learned his lesson the hard way." Klaus said, but I didn't look towards him or say anything.
"How could you do this to him? To his mom? To me? To Luna?" I looked towards Caroline, not completely knowing why she mentioned me.
"I'm a thousand years old. Call it boredom."
"I don't believe you." Caroline said, which almost what I was practically thinking.
"Fine. Then maybe it's because I'm pure evil, and I can't help myself."
"It's because you were hurt." I couldn't help but look towards Klaus, who was looking towards Caroline. "Which means that there is a part of you that is human." Klaus didn't look at me as he sat on the table in front of Caroline.
"How could you possibly think that?" Klaus asked and I could tell he didn't believe her.
"Because I've seen it." I thought that Caroline looked towards me. "Because... I've caught myself wishing that I could forget all the horrible things that you've done." I couldn't help but step towards Caroline, feeling like she would be dying soon.
"But you can't. Can you?"
"I know that you're in love with Luna." I couldn't help but look at Klaus. He looked towards me and I could tell by his eyes that he did care about me, but he's never said 'I love you' to me. "And anybody capable of love is capable of being saved." Klaus looked away from me, but I could tell that he had tears in his eyes.
"You're hallucinating." Klaus said and a part of me felt sad. I looked at Caroline, not wanting to look at Klaus at the moment.
"I guess I'll never know." Caroline said and I could hear her heart start to slow.
"Caroline?" I asked, semi-hoping that she wasn't dead. "Caroline?" I looked at Klaus, hoping that he would heal Caroline. He looked at me for a moment before moving Caroline so her head landed on his chest. Klaus bit into his wrist and fed her his blood.
"Thank you." I said because, even though I wasn't exactly friends with Caroline, he knew I didn't want her to die. Klaus just gave me a small nod as Caroline continued to suck his blood, which healed the bite he gave her earlier.
After Caroline was healed, she went to the couch that she was on before and started to sleep. Klaus and I stayed up and I couldn't help but wonder if he would ever say 'I love you' to me. I've said it to him, but that was only once before I turned off my humanity. I haven't said it to him since they've returned. I knew I loved him, even though I didn't say it to him. 'Do we need to say it?' I asked myself before taking one of the spare pillows and putting it on the floor. Out the corner of my eye, I could see Klaus watch me as I laid on the floor.
"I'm still not leaving." I said to him before putting my head on the pillow with my back towards him. "I just don't want to sleep on the couch. 'Night." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and slowly went to sleep with thoughts of me and Klaus.
~ The main target of Luna's anger (since her mom was murdered) was Tyler. I wanted to have a fight between them in this chapter with Klaus sort of playing peace keeper. I also wanted to make sure that even when Luna is mad and has revenge on the brain, she's not completely different. There's still that nicer side that I introduced in season 3 (The Other Hybrid).
~ I'm thinking about making the chapter for Stand By Me completely Luna/Klaus scenes. Please let me know what you think about that because I'll put seeds for that chapter in the next one.
~ I hope you can review with your ideas and check out my new story 'Down The Rabbit Hole', which follows my OC Chelsea in the events of The Originals Season 1 (:
R&R 'till the next update
