It was the morning of the day they were planning on taking out Erik and Luna was nervous. She couldn't shake the nervous sinking feeling she had in her stomach.
She was lying in bed with Kol, nervously playing with the hand that he had resting on her stomach. "Are you ready to do this?" she asked him, looking up to meet his eyes.
Kol smiled reassuringly at his wife having noticed her nerves. "It'll be okay," he said, kissing the top of her head. "This will work," he added.
"I hope you're right," Luna replied.
Kol smirked at her, "i'm always right," he said confidently earning a laugh from his wife.
They soon managed to crawl out of bed and make their way down stairs. The whole plan wasn't due to begin until later in the afternoon, mostly to give Kenna a chance to get there.
The family went on through the day mentally preparing themselves for what they were planning on doing. Facing Erik again was going to be mentally exhausting for them. Especially for Finn who had lost his daughter at the hands of the very man that was coming for them.
In the kitchen Aria was making a coffee for herself and Luna was warming up a cup of blood in the microwave.
"Is everything in place for later?" Aria asked as she stirred her coffee.
Luna nodded in confirmation. "Everything's ready," she said. "I have a distraction for Esther ready too."
"Good," Aria replied, just wanting this to be over soon. "Worried?" she asked, glancing at the blonde.
"Of course I am," Luna replied knowing that there was a small chance that something could go wrong.
"Me too," Aria said, letting out a long breath.
"Just think, if this all goes to plan then you'll be one more step closer to having the family completely whole," Luna said under her breath, knowing that there were still somethings that would need fixing still after Erik was dealt with.
Aria huffed, "true," she said.
As Luna was walking to the living room she had a thought and realised that she may have to tweak the plan slightly.
"You know what I've just realised?" Luna said rhetorically as she entered the living room where most of the family had gathered. "Erik had got to have seen something like this coming. I mean he fell for it once, he's got to know what we're planning."
"So what do we do then?" Grace asked even though she knew that Luna had probably thought of something.
"Don't worry about that," Luna said, waving away the concerns. "I've got this covered. I know what to do."
"How do you always seem to have a plan for everything?" Klaus asked in curiosity as he stared at the blonde who shrugged in reply.
Grace snorted a laugh, "that's Luna," she said in amusement. "She's always ready. She always has a plan."
Luna smirked and cocked her head. "That's true," she admitted. "How do you think I managed to run from you for so long?"
"How did you manage that?" Rebekah asked, speaking up from beside her hybrid brother.
"Easily," Luna replied, looking around at the other siblings, the conversation having caught their attention. "You all have no shortage of enemies and, you know what they say, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'."
"There's a network of people who all look out for each other," Grace added. "They all warn each other where you are so people, like Luna, know where not to go."
Luna shrugged at the original's disbelieving expressions. They were all taking in the fact that they had that many enemies that they had started banding together for the sole purpose of avoiding them.
Kol suddenly laughed, earning questioning looks from his family. "Lets be honest, most of those enemies are bound to be Nik's," he said. "I can't believe that you have that many people who hate you," he added in amusement, earning a glare from the hybrid himself as Rebekah tried to stifle a laugh.
"Kol the only reason you don't have so many enemies is because you ate them all," Klaus replied. "If you hadn't killed them all then you would have just as many, if not more," he added.
"He's got a point," Luna agreed, shrugging.
"Better dead than looking to kill me," the younger original replied, shrugging at his wife and brother.
