~ Originally I was going to wait until Saturday but I'm posting earlier. (:
~ A friend of mine helped me decide how this chapter ended, mainly because I wasn't sure how I should do it. It was between splitting it in two (which I don't usually do) or keep it all in one chapter. She helped me decide and that's why this one is 'The Hybrid part 1'.
~ This story has taken time away from some of my other stories, but as long as you like it, that's all that really matters.
christele_ladores : Thank you. You were the first person to review this story.
storylover3: I can tell you that the next time they met, it won't be good.
~ In the chapter, Luna and Klaus meet face to face. There is some insight on what type of person/hybrid she is. There is possibly even a fight or two. It all comes down to the cliffhanger at the end.
ENJOY!
Luna's POV
I'm physically 17 years old, but I'm really 19. All because of that stupid vampire almost two years ago. Instead of obsessing over why he turned me, I tried to enjoy life more.
Since I was turned I spent more time with my father, who was really the only family I had left. My mom left a couple of weeks after I was turned. There was always my Uncle Ray, but I only saw him on the full moons.
My dad and I were preparing for the smokey mountains. It was one of my favorite places to turn, when I had to. It's a place that held good memories for me.
~Smokey Mountains~
I was walking next to my dad, up the mountain. He was carrying his tent, a water cooler filled with alcohol and soda, and a backpack filled with clothing and some other stuff. I was only carrying my tent.
"I can always carry everything dad." I said.
"It wouldn't be fair for you to carry everything." He said to me.
"I know, but I would have no trouble carrying everything." We both stopped so he could take a breath of air. "At least let me carry your tent." He looked at me before setting down the cooler.
"Okay, just don't drop it." I gave him a small smile before taking the tent from him.
"Less stress on your body now. You're not getting any younger."
"Ha ha." He pretending to laugh with a smile as we continued to the campground.
I was setting up my tent by myself. It was almost done, all I had to do was put tarp up. I knew it wasn't going to rain, but my dad wanted me to put it up.
"Paige, can you tell my dad I went to get a bite?" She gave me a small smile.
"Sure thing loon." I rolled my eyes at the nickname she called me. My dads friends and my friends would call me 'loon' or 'loony luna' and sometimes just even 'loony'. I didn't really like those names but it was something that I got used to.
I walked for at least fifteen minutes before hearing a squirrel. My senses immediately honed in on it. I sped towards it, quickly biting it with my fangs. It's blood flowed down my throat, slightly satisfying the hunger that I felt. The squirrel tasted disgusting, but I dealt with it. Once all the blood was gone, I looked at its lifeless body in my hands. It probably had a family and I killed it. I took it away from its family because of my need for blood. I set the body on the ground and started to dig a hole. The squirrel was going to be buried, just like I did with all the other animals I killed. It shouldn't be above the ground where other animals could get to it. Burying it gave me some peace. Once the hole was big enough I gently placed the squirrel in it. It at least deserved to be buried.
After filling in the hole I stood up. I wiped the dirt off my legs and took a deep breath. All of a sudden, I got a bad feeling. 'Something's wrong.' I thought to myself before looking back towards the campground. My body didn't give me time to think before speeding back towards the camp.
It took me seconds to get back to the campground and the smell hit me. 'No.' I thought. I took a deep breath and peaked my head around the tree. The first thing I saw was two people. My eyes went wide when I recognized one of them. My body took an involuntary step back. I cracked a branch, which unknowingly alerted them to my presence. I took a deep breath before slowly walking to them. Nobody turned to see me, they were locked on the two people standing in front of them.
My eyes went down to the ground in front of them. In front of them laid a body, which smelled of blood. I brought my hand to my mouth and nose, covering them from the smell. Then I noticed who it was. 'Ray.' I thought. I would have stepped up to him if it weren't for a gust of air in front of me. He blocked my path to Ray. The one that had turned me a year and a half ago. I reluctantly looked at him, looking into his eyes.
"Glad to see you alive." He said with a smirk.
"Bullshit." I blurted out. He chuckled.
"You've got a sharp tongue." He said with a smirk.
"And I've got quite a bite." I could feel some anger bubble up inside. I could tell the veins around my eyes started to appear and the fangs started to come out. My body lunged at him, trying to bite him. He quickly slammed me on the ground, holding me around my neck.
"I'm quite older than you dear." He whispered into my ear. I kicked him between the legs and was able to stand before getting rammed into a tree.
"Be careful with that one Stefan." I could hear him say. The grip on me loosened. "We don't want to hurt her." He smirked as Stefan stepped away from me. "What's your name sweetheart?" He asked.
"None of your business." I spat at him before he stepped closer to me. He smirked once again and stood right in front of me.
"Let's try this again." His pupils dilated. "What's your name?"
"Luna." I answered automatically. He smirked and I looked away.
"Luna, such a pretty name." He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Stay away from her." Paige said to him. I could tell that her voice was filled with fear, but determination as well.
"Stefan, why don't you sit down." Stefan looked at him for a second before sitting down on a giant log. I looked at my dad. His eyes were swimming with emotion. "Well, I bet you are wondering why I'm here."
"Not really you ass." I spat at him, which he returned with a smirk. 'What's with him and smirking?' I asked myself.
"Luna..." My dad said in a warning tone.
"Relax," I said to my dad before looking at him, "it's not like he can kill me."
"There wouldn't be any fun if I did." I rolled my eyes. "It occurred to me that you don't even know my name."
"Why would I want to know it?"
"Because you should know the name of the person who turned you love." I didn't say anything as he turned so he was facing everyone, but still facing me. "My name is Klaus." I gulped.
"You're the other hybrid." Paige said in slight fear and shock.
"You've heard of me. Fantastic." Klaus smirked once again.
"What did you do to Ray?" I asked.
"You'll find out soon enough love." I was starting to get annoyed by him.
Fifteen minutes later I was standing at my dads side. We were standing behind Paige, away from Klaus. He was sitting on the log, next to Stefan. Klaus kept glancing at me. I ignored it and kept my attention on Ray while ignoring the scent of blood.
"It's fascinating actually." Klaus said. "A werewolf who isn't beholden to the moon, a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun." He looked at me. "A true hybrid." Ray lunged up and gasped for air. He turned onto his stomach and faced towards Klaus. "Excellent timing, Ray. Very dramatic."
"What's happening to me?" Ray asked.
"Stefan?" Klaus asked before Stefan stood from the log.
"Are any of you human?" Stefan asked. 'Don't look at Derek' My mind immediately told me. "Your friend here needs human blood to complete his transition to vampire. If he doesn't get it, he will die." Stefan momentarily glanced at me.
"Doesn't take much, just a sip." Klaus said as he glanced at me for a moment. He stood up and looked around at everybody. "Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?" I took a deep breath just before he turned to Derek. "You." He sped to Derek and bit him in the arm. The smell of his blood immediately hit my nose. I brought my hand up to my nose to block the scent. My dad held my free hand as I looked at Derek. He had been thrown on the ground and Stefan was holding him so he didn't try to run. Paige ran towards Derek, but Klaus stopped her.
"Let her go." I said before speeding to him and managing to get Paige out of Klaus's grasp.
"Stop interfering sweetheart." He said before throwing me into a tree. I groaned when I hit the ground. There was a strong pain in my side. I knew this would happen by drinking animal blood, but it was the choice I made.
"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will." Stefan said to Ray. "Problem is I don't know how to stop."
"Don't do it Ray." I tried to plead with him.
"If he doesn't he'll die." Klaus said to me before I looked to him. His eyes were filled with fascination before turning his attention back to Paige. "It's the new order, sweetheart. You join us, or you die."
"I'd rather die than be a vampire." She said. I knew how she felt about vampires and I didn't blame her.
"Wrong choice." I didn't take my eyes off Klaus as his hybrid features appeared.
"Don't take the choice away from her." He completely ignored me as he shoved his wrist against her mouth, just like he had done to me. What he did to me almost ruined my life. It's not exactly like I can burn in the sun and I can't turn it off. I promised my dad I wouldn't and it was a promise that I was going to keep. About thirty seconds later he pulled his wrist away from her mouth. "She'll thank me for that later." He smirked.
"The hell she will." I said, which made him look at me curiously. I watched him snap her neck. My eyes followed her body as it fell to the ground. Tears started to gather in my eyes. Paige was like the older sister that I never had.
"You better watch your mouth." Klaus said in a threatening tone towards me. I slowly stood up from the ground and leaned against the tree I was thrown against. "You're weak for a hybrid." He started to walk towards me. "Please tell me you've had at least of human blood." I took a deep breath, trying to keep calm.
"Actually I have."
"Besides the blood you needed to complete your transition." I didn't answer him. He could tell the answer just by how I fought. Klaus smirked at me before turning away. I ended up turning my head towards Ray, who had fed from Derek. 'He's going to end up like me' I thought. None of them asked for this and neither did I. That bastard Klaus took that choice away from me and Ray and was doing the same to everyone else. I considered everyone in the pack my family. There was no way I could let this happen to them. I sped towards Klaus, but he quickly reacted. He held me by the neck. "Do you really think you can fight me? I am much older and stronger than you."
"That doesn't mean you are the better fighter." I channeled my anger and focused it on trying to fight him. I managed to take his hand off from my neck before pushing him into a tree that was behind him. "I will not let you take away their choice." I sped to punch him, but he sped behind me and easily pinned me against the ground.
"Are you sure about that sweetheart?" He asked with a smirk before he turned to Stefan while keeping his hold on me. "Stefan, why don't you compel the human to stay put before you come over here and hold her down for me." I turned my head towards Stefan, who was just beginning to compel Derek.
"You're really a narcissistic bastard aren't you?" I asked Klaus against my better judgement. He let out a chuckle.
"You're really beginning to get on my patience." He whispered into my ear.
"Does it look like I care?" I kicked him as hard as I could, but I couldn't get him off. I could see a smirk that appeared on his face. 'He likes to see me struggle.' I thought just as Stefan started to walk over to me.
"Make her watch." Klaus said to Stefan just as they switched spots. Stefan was holding me down and I could tell that he wasn't as strong as Klaus, but he was stronger than me. I couldn't help but watch in sadness as Klaus fed everyone one his blood. One by one he killed them, but he never really looked back at me.
There was only one person left, my dad. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes, which I could see despite the tears falling from mine. Klaus stepped in front of him and I snapped.
"Leave him alone." He turned to me.
"Now why would I do that sweetheart?" Klaus said to me. I took a deep breath and somehow managed to get Stefan off of me.
"I don't care how old and strong you are I will not let you turn my dad." I sped toward him, which probably wasn't the best idea because he easily pushed me back. I flew and landed next to Derek. The scent of his blood immediately started to flow up my nose. I took a deep breath trying to ignore it, but it was right there next to me. Human blood.
~ I hope you don't mind how I ended this chapter. I have a pretty good idea how I am going to have Luna react to the blood, but I'm not going to say. *Insert evil face here*
~ Thank you for your support on the story so far. I'm glad at the reactions on the first chapter alone. I hope that continues as I continue with the story.
~ When this reaches 'The End of the Affair' I will try to update this and 'You Can Never Forget' at the same time. If I can't, the one with more reviews will be updated sooner.
~ The next chapter will come within the next week.
~ In the next chapter: Klaus continues with his plan to make hybrids. Luna has a talk with her dad, Ray, and possibly even Klaus. Will she give into her hunger and bite Derek? Will she lose control if she does? What are your thoughts?
R&R 'till the next update
