Cami's Pov
...
I sighed tiredly; we had been up all night. Everyone had been up for most of the night.
Luna was still in a deep sleep. In a long t-shirt and a pair of mesh shorts.
Elijah had compelled a doctor to come in and look at her. That's how worried he was, how we all were.
He had said that she was lucky enough to solve a crocodile attack. Luna's legs as bad as they looked weren't actually that bad. None of her bones had been damaged, which was a blessing, according to the good doctor. Her lungs were clear of any water she might have inhaled. He warned that when she woke up, her throat would be sore and to give her some cool water to soothe her throat should it cause her any discomfort.
Klaus was furious.
As his friend and being a graduated psychology student, I recognized that he was scared and worried behind that mask of anger he wore.
Jake, Jackson's brother, came in and out of the room from time to time, looking at Luna. That didn't seem to help ease or help the case of Klaus' anger and frustration.
Everyone was wrong about the Originals, the Mikealsons. All of them worried for Luna, scared for her, proved that they all did indeed have hearts.
Hayley was sitting by Luna, her hand on her sister's, chest where her heartbeat (which was still beating, according to Klaus, strongly).
I suppose it made Hayley feel more secure about her sister's well being. Luna's legs, were bandaged up; Davina predicted that the coverings wouldn't be necessary tomorrow because by then she would, be healed. Luna's healing rate wasn't faster than a vampire's or as slow as a regular werewolf's but somewhere in the middle. Davina said it could depend on her energy levels. Of course, there was no way to know if this was all for sure or true. There were no books about witch-werewolf hybrids. She aged slower, too according to Sophy, which was why she was still 16, according to Sophy, now 17. Supposedly, in reality, she was 18-20 even Sophy didn't know for sure. Then again, she wasn't the greatest at telling truthful and informative information. She would often leave important things out because she forgot about them.
I decided that I was going to go grab one of Luna's favorite snacks. I was sure that she would be very, hungry when she woke up.
Maybe her throat would hurt too bad to eat some chili cheese fries, but I couldn't stand to look at her any longer. She was, too still. I, was used to seeing her up and moving. Marcel said he wished his vampires would follow in her footsteps with all the pent up energy she puts into doing magic and other creative things.
I told Hayley and Rebekah where I was going. I would have, told Davina, but she was asleep with her head on the couch where Luna was.
Before I could get out of the doors, Kol appeared in front of me.
"Hello, darling, going somewhere?"
I smiled, but my heart wasn't really in it, so I was sure it showed.
"Yeah, I was on my way out. I was going to pick up Luna some chili cheese fries, as you know, her favorite. I figured she would be hungry."
Kol smirked and put his arm around my shoulders.
"Well, I guess that means that I'm going with you. I need to make it up to her anyway."
I smiled this time it was real. My heart was in it this time. Sure, Kol was annoying and infuriating to others (including me), but he was my friend.
Even though sometimes I wanted to strangle him, he could be so adorable and his cheerfulness would become contagious, making me feel better...

...
I was pacing around in my study angrily.
After some considerate thought, it came to me that this was better than going around on a murderous rampage.
The door opened, and Elijah walked into my study. I didn't look at him, not wanting to talk to him. Though I couldn't help but ask, "Is she awake yet?"
I looked over at Elijah to see that his head was sideways examining my paintings.
"No," I sighed, frustrated. Every damn thing had to go wrong just when everything was going fine.
I threw one of my paintings across the room. It shattered against the wall on impact.
I put my hands on my head and then broke the glass door to my alcohol cabinet. I grabbed a bottle, not bothering with what it was, and started drinking it down.
I couldn't get Luna out of my head, the look of pain on her face even in sleep.
I turned around to see Elijah staring at me with a peculiar expression on his face. "What are you doing here? Don't you have to go tend to something?"
Elijah didn't say anything, so I continued to drink when that bottle was empty, I threw it on the ground shattering the bottle. I was going to grab another, but Elijah got in front of the cabinet.
"Brother, why don't you go put yourself to use. Watch over her. I know you care."
I glared at my brother, this time not bother to hide my irritation, "Are you mad? The moment my enemies find out that I care for, her she could be dead or worse. I will not put her through that pain, Elijah. I've already done enough."
Elijah sighed and sat down. I sat with him.
"Brother, I know it's hard to let someone in, but it's so clear that you need her, and she needs you. Why resist?"
I rolled my eyes, conflicted, "She doesn't care for me. I don't want her to think that I'm obsessive."
Elijah sighed and put his hand in my shoulder.
"She cares for you, Niklaus. You just have to let her in. She said your name in her sleep, quite a few times."
I looked at Elijah and sped downstairs, hoping she was awake.

...
I walked out of the fast-food place with some chili cheese fries in one hand and Kol in the other.
"Excuse me, love, but I need to go use the loo. Wait for me."
I nodded and smiled. I sat down on one of the many benches and looked up at the sky.
The stars were bright tonight since there weren't many clouds out. The streets were less crowded occasionally. I would hear footsteps. I felt a slight breeze and looked over, expecting it to be Kol, but it wasn't.
"Who are you?" I asked, startled by the man suddenly appearing beside me.
He was sitting on the bench closer than I would've liked. He had hair as dark as night and piercing blue eyes. This was not Kol.
"Well, my name is Damon, and yours is..?"
I sighed and smiled widely he was very charming.
"Camielle, but my friends call me Cami," Damon smiled and looked off into the distance.
"I should get going, but I plan to see you again soon," he said that as he took my free hand and kissed my knuckles. Damon walked off in the opposite direction, and Kol appeared a few minutes later.
"Oh good, I found you. Let's go home. I am rather, famished, and those chili cheese fries look delicious."
I smiled and elbowed him, "Kol, we both know that you won't touch theses chili cheese fries because Luna would kill you."
Kol laughed loudly and put his arm around my shoulder. "I guarantee that she would kill me in the most entertaining way."
I looked around: wondering where, who, and what this Damon might be as we headed to the compound.
Hayley Pov
I yawned tired, I had been sitting with Luna all night. Davina had long since gone to her room. I had woken her up and told her to go to her room. As tired as she was, she hadn't objected.
This girls night out had turned out badly, and I felt like it was all my fault.
Luna's head was in my lap. I felt that her temperature was warmer than usual. A sign that she must be healing.
"You should go to bed and get some rest, little wolf."
I turned my head around to see Klaus. I smiled at him and shook my head.
"It's not your fault, you know, I suspected it might be Sophy's fault. Animals don't just attack like that."
I nodded and got up to go to bed. I walked up to Klaus, my hands folded over my now showing stomach.
"Please make sure she's okay, Klaus. If she wakes up, please come and tell me."
Klaus nodded reassuringly, and I hugged him. He must have been surprised, but after a couple of seconds, he returned the hug. I pulled away and said, "good night Klaus."
Before I reached the stairs, I heard a faint, "Good night, little wolf."
Klaus Pov
I took Hayley's place on the couch and stroked Luna's hair.
Just as soft and luscious as I had imagined. I watched in amazement as the curl I had pulled back had went back into its place. Identical to a spring.
I felt her forehead it was cold, which wasn't normal for her. Luna usually ran warm.
Out of worry for her health, I punctured my wrist with my fangs and pressed it to her mouth. My blood wettened her lips. I hoped that it would be enough to wake her. A few minutes later, Luna sat up coughing. I don't think I've ever felt so relieved.

Luna Pov
...
I felt something warm on my mouth. It seemed to warm my whole body up, I gasped and sat up. I looked to see Klaus.
Klaus got up and left and came back with a napkin in his hands. He wiped the blood off my mouth and chin. Before he could leave I grabbed his arm, "Sophy did this to me. She made them attack me. I thought that she was trying to help me, but she wasn't. I really hate those witches."
When I was, dreaming, I saw some pages of a spell, and I saw Sophy reading it and memorizing it before we picked her up from her gumbo restaurant. There was no other explanation for who did it.
Klaus smiled, "Me too, love, but we can't kill them yet. They are still somewhat of use to us. Are you hungry?"
I smiled and nodded.
Klaus was about to turn around, but he smiled.
"Cami is on her way with Kol. They are bringing your favorite snack. They will be here any minute."
I smiled and, Klaus started to walk toward the stairs away from me.
"Klaus, wait, where are you going?"
He paused and turned away from the stairs and towards me. "I was just going to go and wake up your sister, love. I promised her that I would wake her up when you did."
I shook my head and tried to stand up, but my legs were shaking, and I almost fell on my face, but Klaus caught me.
"You can't wake her up, she needs sleep, she is always tired. If she asks, just tell her I wouldn't let you go."
Klaus sighed and picked me up and set me back on the couch. I did my best pouty face and folded my arms, but no avail. Klaus smiled and put his hand on my shoulder, "Don't pout love. Give yourself time to recover."
I smiled and put my hand on his cheek. I frowned when I noticed the dark circles under his eyes.
"Klaus, you need to get some sleep." Klaus looked at me and rolled his eyes, but I knew what I had to say.
"If you go to sleep, I am all yours tomorrow. I won't leave your side you can even take me shopping."
Klaus nodded and leaned down close to my face, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe.
"Good night Luna," I blinked unintentionally.
"Good night Klaus."
Klaus smiled and sped upstairs to what I assumed to be his room.
I heard boots on the wooden floor of the compound. Butterflies erupted in my stomach even though he was long gone. The effect he had on me, whatever it was,lasted.
I smiled, I would know those shoes anywhere.
"Cami," I said and smiled.
I saw her and Kol walk in carrying my favorite snack, my favorite food.
"Hey, kiddo me and Cami here, thought you might like something to eat since you've been asleep for quite some time."
I smiled and took the bag from him and started eating them. They were a little on the cool side, but the cheese was still melty, and I wasn't going to complain.
Kol walked over to me and stole one of my fries. I smiled at him, Kol bent down and kissed my cheek.
"Good night," I called out to him Kol replied with a wave, and he headed up-stairs.
I smiled and looked at Cami. "Shouldn't you be headed to bed," Cami smirked at me, laughing a little.
"You know me, Luna, I am a bad girl, I stay up past my bedtime."
I laughed at her statement, and I offered her some of my chili cheese fries. Cami shook her head, but I pushed them closer to her face.
"Oh, Damn," she stated and grabbed some.
I laughed, "So what is it, something is bugging you what is it?"
Cami sighed, about to say something, but I gave her one of those looks I had picked up from Hayley, the "don't even try to lie" one. There were dozens more.
"Well, there was this guy," Cami started out watching my reaction cautiously.
"Yeah, uh-huh was he smokin'." Cami blushed and threw a french fry at me covered in chili and cheese. Instead of ducking or using something to block it, I caught it in my mouth.
"So, he was smokin."
I looked at her, and she nodded. "He had the darkest hair and these bright blue eyes. He said his name was Damon. He was just, just.."
Cami struggled for a word to describe the man.
I smiled, "just smokin."
Cami laughed and took another fry. We spent most of the night like that.
I remember putting my head on her neck and falling asleep.
