Kol Mikaelson was not at home and his siblings had no idea where he had gone. They were partially worried that he had gone off and was slaughtering half of Mystic Falls. But Aria knew exactly where he was.

She assumed that since he hadn't been home that things had gone well between him and Luna.

As she walked past the living room, Aria noticed that the only sibling that wasn't in there, barring Kol, was Klaus. She knew exactly where he was though, he spent a lot of time up in his art room, painting.

"That looks beautiful," Aria said, announcing her presence as she stood in the doorway to his room. He was painting on a large canvas, the image of a familiar burning tree forming as he worked.

"Thank you," he muttered, glancing back at his aunt. He hesitated in speaking again so Aria raised an eyebrow, encouraging him to go on as she looked through some of his sketches.

"Did you know?" he asked as he slowed down in painting. "Did you know that I wasn't his son?"

Aria sighed, looking up at the hybrid before moving so she was in front of him. "No," she told him. "I suspected it, but I didn't know. Not for sure," she admitted.

The hybrid in front of her looked down in thought as he took in what she had told him.

"But that didn't matter to me," she added, making him look up at her. "It didn't matter if you were his son or not, you are still my nephew, Niklaus."

Klaus smiled and pulled his aunt into a hug, appreciating how much she cared about him.

"Do you have any idea where Kol is?" he then asked her as they pulled away from each other. "I'm hoping that he's not out slaughtering the residents of Mystic Falls but with Kol, who knows."

Aria smiled faintly, "must you always assume the worst of him?" she said, lightly scolding him.

"He doesn't make it to assume anything else," Klaus retorted.

"You do know that he thinks that you, Rebekah and Elijah don't care about him as much as you do each other?" Aria replied softly. "It's why he acts out so much."

Klaus bowed his head at his aunt's words, the thought had crossed his mind on occasion as it had for Rebekah and Elijah. The three siblings knew that Kol had always felt left out and they did regret making him feel that way.

"A thousand years and he still doesn't get it," Klaus said, shaking his head. "He's out brother, of course we love him."

"Then maybe you just need to remind him," Aria said, smiling faintly. "Now for the real reason I came looking for you, I need to see you downstairs with the others."

And with that Klaus followed Aria down to the living room where his siblings were gathered.

She had received a message from Luna asking her to explain what actually happened back in 1919 while her and Kol weren't there.

"There's something I need to talk to you all about," Aria said as she stood in front of all of the siblings, except Kol. "About Luna," she added.

"What about her?" Rebekah asked with an eye roll.

Aria sighed before she spoke. "I've known Luna since 1871," she said, confusing the siblings. "We've kept in touch over the years and met up every once in a while, including in 1919."

The siblings, except Finn as he didn't know her, look at Aria in confusion as to where this was going.

"Mikael had been tipped off as to who she was and tracked her down, he caught her after she had left me and was on her way home," Aria said. "Mikael lied. He tried to torture your location out of her but she wouldn't tell him. In the end he had to compel your location out of her and then he compelled her so she would never be able to tell anyone about what happened."

It was quiet for a moment while Rebekah, Klaus and Elijah took in their aunts words and they started feeling guilty about what they had put Luna through over the years after New Orleans. They were silently kicking themselves for so easily believing what Mikael had told them all those years ago when they should have known better.

"If he compelled her to not tell anyone," Elijah said, breaking the silence, "how do you know what happened?"

"I've had people watching Mikael for centuries now," Aria replied. "One of them saw what happened and by the time it had gotten back to me it was too late, I couldn't do anything."

As Aria studied the three siblings she could clearly see the shock and guilt settle over their faces. Luna had once been family and the thought of what they had out her through over the years clearly did not sit well with them.
