Luna's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the wall. My body wanted me to sleep while my mind was already awake. I could still picture my dad and mom hugging in my mind. 'Yesterday was the last day I'll see him' I thought, but then my mind went to my mom. My mom was still in Mystic Falls and I know she cared. I knew that Klaus had compelled her to be near me, but that's not what I focused on. No matter what, my mom was there for me, despite what has happened. My hand reached up to my phone that was sitting on my bedside table. I unlocked the screen and looked at my background, which was the picture that Rebecca took. I smiled at how happy we looked, which made me feel sad because I'd never see my dad again. 'You still have your mom' I told myself as I let out a sigh and slowly got out of my bed to take a shower.

I took my time in the shower as I thought about what to do. There was a limitless amount of things I could do, which made it harder for me to chose what to do. I let out a sigh before slowly getting out of the shower and wrapping a towel around my body before walking into my room.
"Have any plans for the day?" Rebecca asked when I saw her laying on my bed.
"Not really." I said before looking in one of the drawers for some clothes.
"Then you're coming with me to cheerleading practice." Rebecca said, which made me surprised.
"You're an Original." I said, not believing that she was a cheerleader. "That makes you how old?"
"A thousand." My eyes widened. 'I didn't think they were that old' I thought.
"Okay, so you're a thousand year old Original. Why would you want to be a cheerleader?"
"So you don't want to come?" She asked, obviously avoiding the question.
"I'll come. It'll beat staying here by myself the whole day." I said before getting a pair of black shorts and a light green tank top. "I need to change. After I'm done, I'll meet you downstairs." Rebecca slightly smiled before hopping off my bed and walking out of the room. 'I haven't done much cheerleading since I graduated' I thought. 'Maybe I can show off a few of my moves.' I smiled because cheerleading was something I liked and I was going to be able to do some again.

I was sitting on a picnic table while I watched Rebecca do some cartwheels. 'She's pretty good' I thought when she stopped in front of me.
"I can do more than that." I said, sort of bragging even though she hasn't seen me do anything yet.
"I'd like to see you try." Rebecca said, which made me smirk. I slid off the table and looked at her.
"I have about 13 years of gymnastics training and about six years worth of cheerleading experience." I said before taking a few steps away from the table. I did cartwheels all the way to the farthest tree on the school property and finished with a front flip. When I stuck my landing, I turned to Rebecca with a smile before doing back flips on the way back, ending with a split. "I can do more than that." I said before getting up.
"I've been locked up for 90 years." She said, defending herself. "You. Goody!" I turned around and saw Elena walking up to us.
"I was hoping we could talk." Elena said to Rebecca.
"About what? Stefan? Don't worry, I'm off him until he starts treating me better." Rebecca said to Elena. "In fact, you should probably take a page out of my book, if I'm being honest."
"Actually, I'd rather talk about this." Elena held up a photo that made me interested. "I'm curious why you and Klaus have spent a thousand years running from your father."
"I should get back to the girls." Rebecca said, clearly avoiding the subject. It actually made me a bit more curious about what Elena wanted to know. "Homecoming's right around the corner."
"Well then maybe I'll ask Mikael when we wake him." 'That's who they were running from in the 20's' I thought, remembering the last thing that happened in Chicago.
"You're bluffing!" Rebecca said and I could tell just by her voice that she was scared. "You don't know where he is. No one does."
"So then who's rotting in that old cemetery in Charlotte?"
"If you wake Mikael we are all doomed!"
"So then tell me." Elena stood confidently but I could tell that she was trying to get answers.
"Why do you wanna know?"
"Why don't you want me to wake him?"
"I need to get back to the girls." Rebecca said with a deep breath before she started to walk away. Out the corner of my eye, I noticed that Elena turned towards me.
"Don't look at me." I said. "I may want to know now that you brought it up, but if she doesn't want to share, I'm not going to bug her." I started to follow Rebecca while the questions started to create themselves in my mind.

After Rebecca was done with cheerleading practice, I drove her back. I decided to check out the laptop that Rebecca had got for me.
"You know I said not anything expensive." I said to her as she came into the room with champagne.
"If you don't want it, then I'll just keep it after I figure out how to use it good enough." She said as she poured some champagne in a glass.
"I didn't say that I don't want it." I said as she handed me a glass. I took a sip just as Elena walked in.
"Hey!" Rebecca said with what I could tell was fake niceness. "What's up?"
"You invited me over?" Elena asked like Rebecca forgot. "To talk?"
"Alright girls, have at it!" Rebecca said and I peeked over the couch to see a group of girls walking in with dresses on. "Okay, now twirl please."
"You compelled your own private runway show?" Elena asked as she took a step in.
"I need a Homecoming dress. So, what do you think?" Rebecca turned to me.
"The red one would look good on you." I said to her, which made her smile.
"Pick one." She said when she turned back towards Elena.
"I'm not here to help you shop. I'm here to talk about why you don't want me to wake up Mikael." Rebecca sped over to one of the girls and tilted their neck over.
"I said 'pick one', Elena." Rebecca said to Elena with her fangs showing. It made me uncomfortable to see her like that. I tried to avoid violence... not counting what I had to deal with when I was around her brother.
"The... red one." Elena reluctantly said.
"There. It wasn't so hard, was it?" Rebecca said to her before looking to me. "Pick one for yourself."
"Why?" I asked as I closed the laptop.
"For Homecoming." Rebecca said like I didn't know.
"I'm not going." I said before taking a sip of champagne. "I'm not a student and I don't really like dances." I said with a shrug. She looked slightly disappointed but then turned towards the girls.
"Go away. Remember nothing." Rebecca picked up her champagne glass and the bottle before standing in front of Elena. "You do not threaten me. You'll learn what I allow you to learn. Is that clear?" Elena nodded before Rebecca started to walk away. 'At least Rebecca hasn't threatened me' I thought before putting the laptop to the side and following Rebecca upstairs. I was interested in her past because she was my friend and slightly interested in why Klaus was the way he was.

I could tell that Elena was following me and Rebecca as she opened a door to a room.
"How fun is this...?" Rebecca asked the both of us as I stepped into the room. I looked around because I didn't know if it was Stefan's room or Damon's room.
"We shouldn't be here..." Elena said from behind me as Rebecca looked through the drawers.
"Course we should! Come on, like you've never wanted to snoop." Rebecca said to Elena. "Boxer briefs. A lot has changed from the twenties." Rebecca said and I figured out we were in Stefan's room.
"Are you gonna root through his stuff all night or are you gonna start to tell me your story?" Elena asked Rebecca.
"Ah... you really are no fun." Rebecca said to Elena and I found myself smirking. "What do you want to know?"
"Well, Elijah said that your father was a landowner in Europe. How did you guys end up here?" Elena asked as she stepped into the room.
"My parents had just started a family, when a plague struck their homeland." Rebecca looked towards us. "They lost a child to it. They wanted to escape and protect their future family from the same fate."
"So, how did you end up here? This part of the world hadn't even been discovered yet."
"Not by anyone in your history books." Rebecca said as Elena walked more into the room. "But my mother knew the witch Ayana, who heard from the spirits of a mystical land where everyone was healthy. Blessed by the gifts of speed and strength; that lead my family here, where we lived amongst those people."
"Werewolves." I said out loud, which made Rebecca nod.
"To us they were just our neighbors." Rebecca said as she started to walk closer to the window. "My family lived in peace with them for over 20 years, during which time my family had more children, including me."
"You make it sound so normal." Elena said as she stepped closer.
"It was." Rebecca said before she started to look out the window. "Once a month our family retreated into the caves beneath our village. The wolves would howl through the night and by morning we'd return home." I couldn't help but picture the full moons when I had to turn with my dad. It always lasted the whole night, but since I became a hybrid, I didn't have to turn. "One full moon, Klaus and my youngest brother Henrik snuck out to watch the men turn into beasts. That was forbidden. Henrik payed the price." 'Their brother?' I sadly thought. "Ayanna wouldn't bring him back in fear of bringing an imbalance to nature." She slowly turned around and looked at us. "That was the beginning of the end of peace with our neighbors. And one of the last moments my family had together as humans." I couldn't help but feel sad for Rebecca because she lost a brother to werewolves. I didn't know what it was like to lose a sibling, because I was an only child, but I couldn't help but feel for her. 'Klaus lost him to' My mind said to me. Elena's phone rang and I let out a sigh, trying not to think about the man who killed me and my dad. "You better get that. That'll be Damon checking up on you." Elena answered her phone, but I didn't bother listening in.

As Elena talked on the phone, Rebecca grabbed a book and laid onto Stefan's bed. I couldn't help but think about what they went through, losing their little brother to the wolves. My mind went back to all the people that I killed as a wolf, but it was very few. I couldn't picture Klaus upset over that type of loss, but that could just be that I can't see him other than the type of person that kills for fun. I looked at Rebecca, who was looking through the book just as Elena's call ended. Elena sat on a chair before across from her at the same table.
"Did you get your fill of snooping yet?" Elena asked after a few minutes. "Can we get on with the story?" Rebecca let out a sigh as she closed the book. She stood up from the bed and picked up a picture that was on the table in front of me.
"Honestly, I don't get you two as a couple." Rebecca said to Elena. 'She must mean Elena and Stefan' I thought.
"Why would you?" Elena asked. "You don't know anything about who he really is." Rebecca put the picture down and leaned towards Elena.
"I know exactly who he is. He's a vampire. We're a predatory species." I couldn't help but picture the people that I have killed. It was only two and not really my choice. 'I'm not going to be like that' I told myself as Rebecca continued to speak. "We don't have time to care about humans and their silly little lives."
"I care." I said, which made both of them look to me.
"Is that why you did that runway show earlier?" Elena eventually asked Rebecca. " 'Cause you don't care about the Homecoming Dance." As Rebecca stood up straight, Elena just let out a sigh. "You know what, I'm just gonna go." She stood up and turned towards the door.
"You haven't even heard half the story." Rebecca said to Elena, but I didn't look back towards her.
"And you are not going to tell it. You're just bored and looking for someone to push around." 'I don't think that's true' "Find someone else to play with! Maybe you can compel yourself a friend."
"The necklace wasn't Stefan's to give." Rebecca said after a few seconds. "It belonged to the original witch."
"The one who put the hybrid curse on Klaus?" I asked, remembering when we were in Gloria's.
"Not just the hybrid curse." Rebecca said. "She's the one who turned us into vampires."

Rebecca told us that she was eavesdropping on her parents one day. They didn't want to lose anyone else in the family, so they were going to make their family into vampires.
"I'm thirsty." Rebecca said to us. "Do you want a drink?" She walked past Elena and I decided to follow. I could hear Elena follow us when we got to the steps.
"So, vampirism was a form of protection?" Elena asked Rebecca.
"What else would it be?" Rebecca asked her
"A curse." I said, feeling like it was.
"My parents only saw a way of keeping their children alive."
"Yeah, but why stay if they were so afraid of the werewolves? Why not... leave?" Elena asked.
"Pride." Rebecca said before we came to a stop. "My father didn't want to run anymore. He wanted to fight and be superior to the wolves. Where they could bite we had to bite harder. Where they had speed we had to be faster. Agility, strength, senses... Ayanna wouldn't help, so it was left in my mother's hands."
"In her hands?" I asked. "How could she do anything?"
"Because my mother was also a witch." Rebecca said to us.
"What?"
"The witch of the original family. The original witch." Rebecca said like we wouldn't figure it out ourselves.

We followed Rebecca into the library. I was interested in knowing more because it was interesting to me.
"Where do they keep their best vintage?" Rebecca asked before bending down and opened a cabinet.
"But if your mother was a witch, then..."
"Am I? No." Rebecca said before Elena could finish. "A witch is nature's servant, a vampire is an abomination of nature. You can either be one or the other, never both. My mother did this for us. She did not turn."
"How did you turn?" I asked before Elena could because I wanted to be the one to know.
"She called upon the sun for life and the ancient white oak tree, one of nature's eternal objects, for immortality. That night my father offered us wine laced with blood. And then he drove his sword through our hearts."
"He killed you?" I asked with disbelief as she turned towards the fireplace. 'What kind of father would do that?' I asked myself.
"And he wasn't delicate about it either." Rebecca broke off the top of the bottle that she had and threw it into the fireplace. "We had to drink more blood to complete the ritual." Rebecca turned towards us. "My first taste of blood was euphoric!" I looked away from Rebecca and started to pour my own glass from what was in front of me. I never thought of my first taste of blood to be euphoric. After taking a sip from my glass, I started to pay attention to Rebecca again. "The feeling of power was indescribable. But the witch Ayana was right about the consequences. The spirits turned on us and nature fought back. For every strength there would be a weakness... The sun became our enemy. It kept us indoors for weeks.. although my mother found a solution there were other problems. Neighbors who had opened their homes to us could now keep us out. Flowers at the base of the white oak burned and prevented compulsion. And the spell decreed that the tree that gave us life could also take it away. So we burned it to the ground But the darkest consequence was something my parents never anticipated, the hunger." Rebecca looked at me. I didn't like the hunger, but I knew that I had to have it. "Blood... had made us reborn and it was blood that we craved above all else. We could not control it.. And with that the predatory species was born."

The three of us walked into the main room in silence. Rebecca carried the bottle with her and I carried my glass.
"Why did Mikael start hunting Klaus?" Elena asked Rebecca.
"When Nik made his first human kill, it triggered his werewolf gene." Rebecca said and I knew about it myself because I went through it. "With that he became my father's greatest shame."
"Yeah, Elijah told me this part of the story." Elena said. "Your mother had had an affair with one of the werewolf villagers. Klaus wasn't his son."
"She tried to make it right. She put the hybrid curse on Nik to suppress his werewolf side and then she turned her back on him." I couldn't help but feel sorry for Klaus. His mom turned her back on her almost like my mom did to me when I first became a hybrid. "But Mikael's greatest weakness as a human was his pride. As a vampire that was magnified. He went on a rampage and killed half the village. Then he came home and killed her."
"Mikael killed your mother?" I asked, not even believing it.
"He said she broke his heart so he would break hers. He tore it from her chest as Nik watched." Rebecca looked more towards me than Elena before she continued. "Afterwards my father took off in a rage and the rest of my family scattered. Nik stayed so he could help me bury her. He knew I had to say goodbye to my mother. Elijah also stayed and we promised we would stay together, always and forever."
"Always and forever." Elena repeated after Elena. "Even though he locked you in a coffin for 90 years?"
"We're vampires." Rebecca said. "Our emotions are heightened. I'm stubborn, Elijah moral, and Nik... Nik has no tolerance for those who disappoint him. Over a thousand years as a family we've all made that mistake at least once. I've made it several times."
"But you still love him?" Elena asked and I rolled my eyes.
"He's her brother." I said before Rebecca could say anything. "Of course she still loves him." Rebecca just gave a small nod, confirming what I said.
"I'm immortal, Should I spend an eternity alone instead?" Rebecca asked Elena before taking a deep breath. "You've heard the story, it's time to go." Rebecca said as she walked past Elena, who didn't move. "I said leave, Elena! I don't know what you're up to but I'm no longer playing along."
"I'm just looking for one good reason why we shouldn't wake Mikael."
"And I've given you a thousand! But you will anyway. I know you want him to help you kill my brother, I'm not stupid."
"It's no secret that I want Klaus dead." Elena said to Rebecca as she took a step closer to her. "He has a hold over Stefan's life and over mine."
"Do what you need. Wake Mikael at your own peril. But make no mistake, if you come after my brother I will rip you apart. And I get my temper from my father. Now leave!" Elena looked from Rebecca to me before leaving.
"Well, I'm going to take the laptop up to my room and take a nice long bubble bath." I said to Rebecca as I picked up the laptop from the couch before going upstairs.

I was bored, so I decided to snoop around the upstairs when I found a big room. After looking around I figured that it was Damon's room. I was about to read one of his books before hearing Rebecca yell from the downstairs. I sped downstairs to see Rebecca holding Elena against the wall. Elena saw me as hurried to get Rebecca's hands off of her.
"You should leave." I said to Elena, not knowing what happened. Elena just looked at me and Rebecca. After Elena left, I looked at Rebecca, who was now kneeling on the ground, crying. I kneeled down next to her and gently rubbed her back.

I stayed at Rebecca's side for a while until she eventually stopped crying.
"What happened?" I carefully asked her.
"Mikeal didn't kill my mother." She quietly said without looking at me. "Nik did." I felt more sad for Rebecca and decided to give her a hug. She was my friend and to find out that her brother was lying to her for 1000 years about their mom. I felt more anger towards Klaus now because he lied about his mother's death to his sister. I already hated him or what he has done to me. Not only has he killed my dad, but my entire pack and he turned me as a test to see if he could make more hybrids before he broke the cure his own mother put on him. I couldn't help but see where he was coming from when he did that because I would be angry to... because of my wolf half.
"I think you need a good night sleep." I said in a whisper to Rebecca, who nodded her head before standing up. I decided to walk up the stairs with her, not thinking that she should be along. 'Rebecca is my friend, even if her brother is an ass' I couldn't help but think before she walked into her room. "Good night." I quietly said to her before walking towards my own room.

I laid in my bed and stared at the wall. My mind couldn't help but go over all the things that I learned today. The thing that stuck in my mind the most was that Klaus killed his own mom and lied to his sister about it for so long. I closed my eyes and tried to go to sleep while trying not to think of all the things that have happened.

~ What color dress do you think Luna should wear to the homecoming dance? I don't know what color she should wear (because she might change her mind at the last minute), so if you have any ideas... please don't be afraid to share (:
~ What do you think Luna's part will be in the next chapter?

~ The Homecoming (the next chapter) is the only other one that I have planned. If there is any things that you want to see in future chapters... please share. I'm looking for ideas... I only slightly know what I'm doing for Do Not Go Gentle to the season 3 finale The Departed. I might take a break with this story until I have more chapters planned (after the next chapter)... depending if I get any ideas from now to then. Please share your ideas so I can make the chapters some out quicker.
