~ I managed to squeeze this episode into one chapter :) It's a day late and a thousand words longer than the last chapter, but I think it's worth it.
~ I almost split this into two chapters, but I wanted to keep it in one.
~ It's mainly what happens in the episode, but if you don't like it... I'll make up for it in the next chapter.

storylover3: Things are going to get better for her. Slowly, but they will.
Malone BU: I can only update this story so often while writing my other stories at the same time. Glad you like it :)

ENJOY!

~Luna's POV~

It's been two days since I last smiled. Two days since my dad got murdered by Klaus. Two days since I left with him. Although I joined him, I tried to stay away from him. He's tries to get me to kill innocent people, but I never gave in. He said that I would kill eventually, but I haven't since Derek. I've fed from human blood since then, slowly weaning myself off of the bunnies and squirrels that I was used to drinking from. Every time a drop hit my tongue, I wanted to give completely into my hunger, to give in to the monster inside. I always fought against that urge and I always won.

Since I fed on Derek, I could feel my humanity slipping. I never turned it off. I promised my dad that I would never turn it off and that's a promise that I plan on keeping. Even though I'm burying my emotions, they are still there. I haven't shown much emotion except the hate I felt towards Klaus. He kept saying that I should be thankful to him for taking away the pain I felt on the full moon. How can I be thankful to the person that ruined my life? All he has done was turn me as a test, kill my dad, and attempt to turn the whole pack for his selfish need. How can I be thankful to a person like that? Is that even possible?

I sat in a car with him, but not next to him. Stefan sat between us, which I was glad for. I honestly don't know what I would do if he was right next to me. He gave off a cocky, dangerous, mysterious vibe. Those together aren't a good combo. He hasn't compelled me since he made me tell him my name. That made me slightly wonder. Why hasn't he compelled me to be thankful to him or compel me to want to willingly feed on humans? A slight section in my head thought that it could be that he actually has some humanity to him, but with what he's done so far makes it obvious he doesn't.

The car pulled into a warehouse, which made me think we were going to stop. I wanted to get out of the car to get away from Klaus, but at the same time I wanted to stay where I was. If we were both to get out, then we would be near each other. If Klaus was outside and I stayed in the car, then I would be along in the car. It would be nice just to be farther away from him, even for a little bit.
"Welcome back to Chicago, Stefan." Klaus said to Stefan as he got out the car with Stefan following him. I stayed still, just looking out the window that was away from Klaus. He peeked his head back in the car, but I didn't look at him. "Are you going to stay in here?"
"Yep." I said popping the 'p'.
"Am I that boring sweetheart?" He asked me and I still didn't turn to him.
"I can hear everything that you guys say, so what's the point of going out there?" He chuckled in amusement before closing the door

I sat by myself, trying to multitask. I was listening in on Klaus and Stefan while at the same time trying to think. Klaus has been strangely humorous about the whole situation. I don't know how long exactly he has been existing, but he is so comfortable with the way he acts. He shouldn't be able to get away with anything that he does, but he just assumes that he will. He just acts like everyone will go along with him because he's all powerful. If someone would just knock him off the pedestal, then maybe he would learn a lesson.

After about five minutes, Klaus opened the door. I looked at him as he slid in next to me. He had a small cocky smirk on his face and I just rolled my eyes before turning my head back towards the window.
"Did you miss me?" He asked as Stefan slid in after him.
"Hardly." I said to Klaus as Stefan closed the door. "I'm hungry." I reluctantly said as the car started to move again.
"Then we'll find someone to eat." Klaus said, which made me sigh.
"No." I moved my head from looking out the window. "Human food." I sat up straight. "I want a big greasy cheeseburger and a chocolate shake."
"Then we'll stop and get something before we visit my favorite witch." 'Good' I thought.
"McDonalds. We are going to McDonalds before we visit your witch."
"Someone's demanding."
"You did kill my dad." I said to him with a 'matter of fact' tone. "You should at least do something for me." I said before leaning my head back against the seat. 'I know I should be using his death to get things, but I can't help but use it against him.' I could feel myself smirk as the car began to drive on the road again.

After almost forcing Klaus to stop and by me McDonalds, we stopped in front of a bar. I got out of the car, still drinking my chocolate shake. Klaus looked at me with slight curiosity but I shrugged it off as we walked into the door.
"Looks familiar, doesn't it?" Klaus asked. I knew he was asking Stefan because I was never here before. The inside of the bar had that old look and feel to it.
"I can't believe this place is still here." Stefan said as he leaned against a railing.
"You've gotta be kidding me." A voice said that made me turn my head from Stefan. There was an elderly african american woman that looked young at the same time.
"So a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender..." Klaus said, but was interrupted.
"Stop. You may be invincible, but that doesn't make you funny." She said, which actually made me smile. "Who are you?" She asked with confusion in her voice. I opened my mouth, but Klaus started to speak.
"This lovely creature here Luna." Klaus said and I rolled my eyes.
"She didn't ask you." I could hear a chuckle of amusement come from Klaus as he took a step closer to me. I purposely took two steps away from him because I didn't want him that close.
"I'm Luna." I said to her and she just gave me a nod. She looked at me for a moment before looking to Stefan.
"I remember you." She said to him.
"Yeah. You're Gloria. Shouldn't you be..."
"Old and dead?" Gloria asked Stefan. "Now if I die, who's going to run this place, huh?"
"Gloria's a very powerful witch." Klaus said, more towards Stefan than me.
"I can slow the aging down some. Herbs and spells. But don't worry, it'll catch up to e one day." Gloria explained.
"Stefan, why don't you go and fix us up a little something from behind the bar?" Klaus suggested.
"Yeah, sure thing." Stefan said before walking towards the bar.

Klaus stepped up to a table and pulled out a chair before looking towards me.
"Want to sit down sweetheart?" He asked and I just rolled my eyes.
"Yeah.. no thanks." I gave him a fake sweet smile before walking to a booth near me.
"She doesn't like you very much." Gloria said to Klaus.
"I'm only with the ass because he killed people very close to me and I have no where else to go." I said as I slid into the booth. I leaned against the wall and laid my legs on the seat.
Klaus looked at me for a minute before sitting down at a table with Gloria.
"You look ravishing, by the way." He said to her.
"Don't." Gloria said, which made me smirk. "I know why you're here. A hybrid out to make more hybrids? That kind of news travels."
"Especially with all the dead people." I mumbled, knowing Klaus could hear me.
"What am I doing wrong?" He asked, ignoring me. "I broke the curse."
"Obviously you did something wrong." Even through my attention wasn't on Klaus, I could tell he was slightly pissed. "Look, every spell has a loophole, but a curse that old... We'd have to contact the witch who created it."
"Well, that would be the original witch. She's very dead."
"I know. And for me to contact her, I'll need help. Bring me Rebecca."
"Rebecca. Rebecca is a bit preoccupied."
"She has what I need. Bring her to me." Gloria said to Klaus as I started to sit more at the edge of the booth.

"What is this?" Stefan asked, which made me bring my attention to him. I could tell that he was holding something in his hands.
"Well, I told you, Stefan," Klaus said as he got up off the chair ". Chicago's a magical place." I got up in curiosity as Stefan started to walk up to Klaus.
"But this is me." He turned the thing in his hands around. "With you." I wanted to get a better look, so I reluctantly stepped up next to Klaus. It was a picture of both Stefan and Klaus.
"Let's go." Klaus said before walking towards the door. I looked back at Stefan and Gloria before Stefan started to follow Klaus out.
"It will get better." Gloria said, which slightly confused me. I looked at her for a moment before following Stefan.

I followed behind Stefan as he followed Klaus into the warehouse. Stefan was still carrying the picture, which made me wonder to.
"This doesn't make any sense. Why don't I remember you?" Stefan asked Klaus, but he kept walking.
"You said it yourself, that time had a lot of dark holes." Klaus said, without turning around. 'You're avoiding' I thought towards Klaus, knowing he couldn't hear me.
"No," Stefan said, obviously not buying Klaus's answer ", if you knew me, then why haven't you said anything?"
"I'm a little busy right now. Memory Lane will have to wait." I rolled my eyes.
"What the hell is going on?" Stefan grabbed Klaus's arm and turned him around. "Answer me." Klaus lifted Stefan's hand off before he decided to speak.
"Let's just say we didn't get off to a brilliant start. To be honest, I hated you."

Klaus started to explain the first time he met Stefan. At the time, Stefan was with Rebecca, who is Klaus's sister.
"Your sister." Stefan said with some realization. "So I knew another original vampire."
"If you can't handle it, then don't ask." Klaus said as he walked towards coffin. Stefan stood for a moment, but I was curious. I started to follow Klaus. I was next to him when he opened the coffin. Inside was a girl that I started to think was his sister. He started to caress her cheek, like he was sad.
"She looks pretty." I decided to say. "Despite the veins and the grayness." Klaus didn't say anything, even when Stefan stepped up next to him.
"I don't recognize her." Stefan said after a moment.
"Well, don't tell her that." Klaus said after slowly taking his hand off his sister's face. "Rebecca's temper is worse than mine." He pulled out a dagger that was in her chest.
"Time to wake up, little sister." Klaus said as he looked at her. "Any day now, Rebecca" He said after five minutes.
"Maybe she doesn't want to wake up." I said, which brought Klaus's attention to me. "After all she's been like that since, what? the 20's?" Klaus looked at me with a slight smirk before turning his head towards Stefan.
"She's being dramatic." Klaus said, but I knew he meant his sister.
"Look, why don't you just tell me what the hell is going on?" Stefan asked Klaus. "I mean, you obviously want me here for a reason, right?"
"Well, you have many useful talents."
"Do I?" Stefan asked, rather curiously.
"In fact, I learned some of my favorite tricks from you."

Klaus started to explain a conversation between him and Stefan that happened back in the 20's. Apparently Klaus killed almost all of his family, but if he was telling Rebecca to wake up, which meant she wasn't dead. He also went on to explain that Stefan had made a human man drink his wife's blood, which made me disgusted.
"I was your number one fan." Klaus said after his explanation. We were walking away from Klaus's sister.
"Why should I believe any of this?" Stefan asked from behind me as we followed Klaus. He stopped in front of a guard and looked straight into his eyes.
"When she wakes up, tell her to meet us at Gloria's bar. Then volunteer your carotid artery and let her feed until you die." Then he started to walk towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Stefan asked, which I was curious to as well.
"You think I'm lying, Stefan. You and I knew each other. You trusted me with one of your secrets and now I'm going to prove it to you." Klaus explained without stopping
"How?"
"We're going to your old apartment." Klaus explained, which made Stefan stop for a moment before following Klaus and I out of the warehouse.

Klaus walked through the halls with me and Stefan following him. I wasn't sure if I should be nervous, worried, or what I should be feeling. There was some obvious tension radiating from Stefan, but it seemed that Klaus was oblivious to it. If he knew, he was probably just brushing it off.
"What a charming little homestead." Klaus said as we turned the corner. It wasn't the best looking but I guess back then you couldn't really be picky. We stopped in front of a door and I ended up looking at the doorknob. Klaus glanced back towards me before kicking in the door. The three of us slowly walked in. There was a thin layer of dust over almost everything. "Do you feel that?" Klaus asked the both of us before turning around. "Is anybody here?"
"It's been vacant for decades. People must break in all the time." Stefan said as I started to walk towards the window, just to see the sight. "Why'd you bring me here?"
"Your friend, Liam Grant, the one who drank his wife's blood..." I made an audible sound of disgust when Klaus mentioned that. "Is something wrong love?" I rolled my eyes, but didn't turn back towards him.
"Yeah, you killed my dad and I don't like you." I kept my eyes out the window, not wanting to see the obvious smirk that Klaus probably had.
"I never could figure out why you wanted his name." He continued his earlier point. "And then you told me your little secret. It was all part of your special little ritual."
"To write it down." Stefan said. I could hear the realization in his voice.
"And relive the kill... Over and over again." I rolled my eyes again and decided to turn around and lean against the wall.
"You guys are sick." I said.
"You'll see it my way." Klaus said to me before going towards a bookcase.
"Don't count on it." I said as Klaus revealed a hidden door.
"You believe me now?" He asked Stefan. Stefan started to walk towards the hidden area and Klaus started to walk towards me. I pretended like I didn't care that he was near me, but inside I was wanting him to walk away.
"Look what I found." Stefan said after a minute or so, which brought both of our attentions to him. "1918. Single malt." Stefan turned around with a bottle in his hand.
"My favorite. Let's go and find someone to pair it with." Klaus said and then he looked at me.
"You wish." I said before stepping out of the apartment. Klaus followed right behind me and laid his arm around my shoulder. I shrugged it off and stepped away from him as Stefan came out behind him. "Let's just go." I said before walking towards the door leading outside.

After a while Klaus decided that we should return to Gloria's bar. I walked in first this time, needing something to drink.
"Please give me something strong." I said to Gloria as I sat on a stool by the bar.
"Is he already driving you crazy?" She asked as she turned around to get a bottle.
"We are way past that." I said as Klaus sat next to me with Stefan sat on the other side.
"Don't be mean love." I rolled my eyes at Klaus as Gloria handed me a bottle.
"I've earned mean." I took a gulp from the bottle as Gloria turned around for two more bottles.
"Where's Rebecca?" Gloria asked Klaus.
"She'll be here." He held the bottle in his hand. "I can't just conjure her on demand." I rolled my eyes and tried to phase out Stefan and Klaus. "What's with you?" He asked. I didn't answer because I knew he was asking Stefan. "I thought Chicago was your playground."
"So this is why you asked me to be your wingman? Because you liked the way that I tortured innocent people?" Stefan asked Klaus and I didn't bother to look towards them.
"Well, that's certainly half of it."
"What's the other half?" I asked, not really caring about the answer.
"The other half sweetheart, is that Stefan used to want to be my wingman." Klaus went on to explain that in the 20's Stefan was like a brother to him. He said that Rebecca liked him and that Klaus considered Stefan a friend and vise versa.

After Klaus was done explaining, he poured three shots of tequila. One he passed over to Stefan and one he held in his hand.
"To friendship." They clinked their shot glasses and drank. He pushed the third shot glass in front of me.
"Yeah... no." I said. "I don't consider you a friend."
"You hurt my feelings." Klaus said, faking he was hurt. "What do you consider me?"
"Nothing. I just find you bearable." I answered him
"I toast to being bearable then." I reluctantly took the shot glass that was in front of me and clinked it with his before downing it.
"So I'm confused." Stefan said, which turned Klaus's attention back to him. "If we were such great friends, then why do I only know you as the hybrid dick who sacrificed my girlfriend on an altar of fire?"
"All good things must come to an end." Klaus then explained that someone was coming after them with wooden bullets. He said that he had to compel Stefan to protect himself and Rebecca.
"You compelled him to forget?" I asked without turning my head towards them.
"It was time for Rebekah and I to move on." Klaus said. "Better to have a clean slate."
"But why?" Stefan asked. "You shouldn't have to cover your tracks, unless you're running from someone." 'That makes sense' I thought. The only reason to run is if there was someone you were afraid of chasing you.
"Storytime's over." 'Touchy' I thought before drinking from the bottle that Gloria had given me before.
"I need another drink" Stefan said. "A real one." He left the bar, leaving me alone with Klaus.

After a minute, Klaus pushed a shot of tequila towards me.
"Getting me drunk won't make me like you." I said, not making a move for the shot glass.
"It worked the other night." He said to me.
"That's because of the heightened emotions," I looked at him ", no thanks to you."
"You should be thankful." I scoffed at his remark. "I gave you eternal life and took away the pain from the full moon."
"Whatever." I said, looking away. "I never wanted to live forever and I would have dealt with turning on full moons. I don't see me liking you anytime soon." Klaus just moved his head away from him, leaving the shot of tequila between the two of us.

After a minute or two of slightly awkward silence between me and Klaus, someone joined us.
"I see they've opened the doors to the riff raff now." Klaus said, towards the person who joined us.
"Oh, honey, I've been called worse." The new person said as I turned my head towards him. I was captured by his blue eyes, but didn't feel an attractive pull towards him. "You don't give up, do you?" Klaus asked.
"Give me my brother back... You'll never have to see me again."
"You're Stefan's brother?" I asked with slight disbelief. The two of them looked different.
"Damon Salvatore." Klaus said, introducing Damon to me. "I am torn. You see, I promised Stefan I wouldn't let you die, but how many freebies did I really sign up for? And clearly you want to die, otherwise you wouldn't be here, so..." I just rolled my eyes at him before taking a drink from the bottle.
"What can I say?" Damon asked. "I'm a thrill seeker."

In a blink of an eye, Klaus was holding Damon up off the ground by the neck. I turned around and saw that Damon was off the ground by at least a few inches. Klaus poked him with a toothpick and then looked at his face.
"Oh, dear, what was that?" I slid off my stool and watched Klaus and Damon with some curiosity. "I'm a little boozy, so you'll forgive me if I miss your heart the first few tries." He poked Damon again with the toothpick. "Ohh! No, that's not it." I knew without seeing Klaus's face that he probably had a smirk. "Ohh. Almost."
"Just stop." I said to Klaus, even though he didn't turn to face me. "He's just here for his brother."
"You want a partner in crime?" Damon asked Klaus, ignoring me. "Forget Stefan. I'm so much more fun." Klaus threw Damon into a table, breaking it.
"You won't be any fun after you're dead." Klaus said as he broke a chair leg and stood over Damon. For a second, I thought that Klaus was going to stake Damon. That was until the broken piece of chair leg started on fire.
"Really?" Klaus asked after tossing the leg to the side.
"Not in my bar." Gloria said. "You take it outside." I actually smirked at what just happened.
"That was cool." I said to her, which she returned with a smile.
"You don't have to negotiate your brother's freedom." Klaus said to Damon, almost in a whisper. "When I'm done with him, he won't want to go back." Klaus stood up from Damon, who slightly groaned in pain. I watched him as he slowly got up. He looked at me for a moment before leaving the bar. "Now we just wait for Stefan." Klaus said casually as he sat down on his stool. I just rolled my eyes before sitting on a stool, two spots away from him.

After Stefan came back inside Gloria's, the three of us made our way back to the warehouse. Stefan and I were standing next to each other as Klaus went to check on Rebecca.
"Rebecca, " Klaus said to the room, knowing that she could hear him ", it's your big brother. Come out, come out, wherever you are."
"Go to hell, Nik!" I could hear a voice say, which I figured out was Rebecca. There was a sound of something hitting the ground before Klaus spoke.
"Don't pout. You knew it wouldn't kill me."
"Yeah, but I was hoping it would hurt more." I couldn't help but smirk for some reason.
"I understand that you're upset with me," I could hear footsteps coming closer, which only meant they were walking towards us ", Rebekah... So I'm going to let that go. Just this once." Their steps stopped. "Brought you a little peace offering. You can come in." Stefan walked into their view.
"Stefan..." Rebecca quietly said. I slowly stepped into view to see Klaus walking up to Stefan.
"Now you remember." Klaus said to Stefan before he walked up to my side. I stopped myself from stepping away from him.
"Rebecca." Stefan said as he at her. He began to take a few steps forward, but was stopped by Klaus.
"Stefan." Klaus said, which made Stefan turn to face us.
"I remember you. We were friends." A faint smile appeared on Stefan's face before disappearing.
"We are friends." Klaus said as he walked up to Stefan. 'Could have fooled me' I thought. "And now the reason you're here." Klaus looked to Rebecca. "Gloria tells me you know how to contact the original witch."
"The original witch?" Rebecca asked with slight confusion.
"Well, you have what Gloria needs." Rebecca reached for her neck, but then looked to Klaus in slight panic.
"Where's my necklace? What did you do with it? I never take it off!"
"I don't know. I didn't touch it." Klaus said, slightly irritated.
"We need to find it, Nik. Now, I want it back!"
"Tell me that's not what she needs, Rebekah!" Klaus almost shouted over his sister. She walked away from him and tossed over the coffin that she was in. I held back any reaction as Rebecca frantically searched for her necklace.

~ Luna is the first character that I'm writing that constantly has some attitude. It's actually fun writing for her.

~ I have 'Disturbing Behavior' and 'The Reckoning' planned for this story, but not the episodes after that. If there is anything you would like to see, please don't be shy.

~ Luna obviously doesn't like Klaus, but do you think she'll get along with Rebecca? What do you will happen with Luna in the next chapter?

~ The next time I update this story, will be after the next update for 'You Can Never Forget', which is at the same point in season 3 as this story is. I'm trying to write them at the same time to save time... but it's actually taking a little bit longer. I favor quality over quantity when it comes to my chapter, which I hope you do to

R&R 'till the next update
