~ This would of been another shorter chapter but combined what I wanted to do with The Ties that Bind with Bringing Out The Dead... which sort of makes this (to me) a normal length chapter.
~ I put the events of Bringing Out The Dead in this chapter to because if I didn't, that would be another short chapter... if I didn't combine it with Dangerous Liaisons. I'm hoping to get Dangerous Liaisons to be a good chapter because of all the things I want to put in it and hopefully I can get some of your ideas in it (:

VampireJacinta: She's going to be denying it for a while... for the obvious reasons. I have it planned when she will admit her feelings out loud for him... but I'm not going to say when *evil smirk*

Guest (1): It's too soo to see if Luna would be able to have a baby with Klaus instead of Haley. This is only on season 3 right now and it all depends on the reviews if I go into season 4... which I hope I am able to with what I want to do with this.

Anna.B: I think that it will be a little tense with Stefan... especially since he stabbed her and broke her neck. She's not as bad as Klaus when it come to her temper/revenge... but I think there will be little insight into how bad she could be (with the possibilities in season 4). I did have it planned where Luna dances with two people (The obvious ones.. lol) and I was looking for a third person for her to dance with... I think Stefan would be interesting... so we'll see how that turns out. I love Kol's line "I've met a lot of people and you don't particularly stand out" so I will more than likely try to keep that in Dangerous Liaisons. :) Luna doesn't want to like him because of what he's done... but she can't deny there is a connection between the two of them. I wouldn't say she hates him... she just tries to convince herself to hate him. Some Bonnie/Luna interaction sounds interesting... maybe not in Ties That Bind because I wasn't really thinking that... maybe in All My Children and after that though...that's one of those things where we just have to see what happens. Well, I can definitely see Kol and Luna having a drink... obviously in All My Children, but with your idea of them having one after Esther fails to kill them... maybe (: It will help set up what I want to happen in season 4. I think that Luna will want to help then with certain situations... like Alaric's... but they might not let her, that's not something I really thought about until you brought it up (: Elijah gets released from his coffin at the end of The Ties That Bind... so he might not interact with Luna until the ball... maybe he could be the third person that dances with Luna... I'm actually looking forward to when I can get a Kol/Luna scene, mainly because of how I want season 4 to begin with Luna, if I can get there (: Like I've said in Changes Within, I don't mind the long reviews. They are the most helpful.

penny. bear. 37: I think he might try and use Luna against Klaus until they find out they can't kill Klaus without killing themselves. But since Luna doesn't like Stefan and she is a hybrid... he will be careful around her. Luna is already falling for Klaus... but she's denying it to herself because of all the things he's done to her. I think there might be a 'knight in shining armor' moment with Klaus when it comes to either the episode 'All My Children' or 'Before Sunset'... it's going to be one or the other. I actually have the first 'I love you scene' planned... but people are going to be waiting a while because it sort of sets up what I want to do with Season 4... if I can get that far.

ENJOY!

(The Ties That Bind)

Luna's POV

I was laying on my bed when I opened my eyes. It has been two days since I saw Klaus last and two days since Stefan stabbed me. I was thinking about ways to get back at Stefan, but most of my thoughts came up blank. The few ideas that I did come up with were just basic pranks, but I didn't think that they were good enough for what he did. I just let out a sigh before sliding out of my bed. 'What should I do today?' I asked myself as I walked straight into the bathroom.

After I took a nice long shower, I decided to go outside. I stayed near the boarding house, but I went into the woods a little bit. It was calming to have some time to myself, especially with what has been going on. I needed the alone time so I wouldn't lose myself.

I stopped in a pretty big clearing and closed my eyes. The sun was nice on my skin which made me feel like doing something I haven't done in a while. I took my phone out my pocket and carefully placed it on a log that was nearby before going into the center of the clearing. I took a deep breath before doing some gymnastics and yoga poses. When my family was together, I used to do it to music a lot as a way to calm myself. It was a part of me that I didn't want to stop and I felt like I needed to do it with everything that was going on. It also gave me a good time to think about what to do to Stefan.

After a while, I noticed that my phone's battery died. I slowly stood up before picking it up before going back.

I put my phone in the room I was staying in to charge while I went downstairs to get a blood bag. As I walked down the stairs I could hear music playing, which made me a little curious. When I got to the living room, I saw the back of his head. 'Oh great' I thought as I walked right past him, hoping that he would ignore the fact that I was there.

When I got to the basement, I got a blood bag and thought about staying in the basement to drink it. I knew he would stay upstairs and it was better to me if I went up instead of waiting for him to leave. I took a deep breath before walking up the stairs with the bag in my hand.
"Hello love." He said as I stepped into the living room.
"Hi." I said, not looking towards him as I walked towards the liquor. As I poured myself a glass, I could tell he was staring at me, but I ignored it. After the glass was about half-full, I poured some blood into it.
"Now that's an interesting combination." Klaus said, but I ignored him as I took a sip from the glass. "I see that you've switched blood sources."
"Damon said I could beat up Stefan anytime I wanted if I drank from blood bags." I said with a shrug before Stefan walked through the door. "Speak of the devil." I murmured as I took another sip.
"What are you doing here, Klaus?" Stefan asked as he turned off the music.
"Enjoying our stalemate." Klaus said before looking towards me. "And enjoying lovely Luna's presence." I stopped myself from rolling my eyes as I looked from Klaus to Stefan.
"By the way Stefan..." I began to say before I sped towards him and punched him in the face as hard as I could ".. that's for stabbing me. And this..." I kicked him in between the legs, which almost sent him to the ground if it wasn't for the chair next to him "... is for snapping my neck." I let out a breath of relief and I heard a chuckle from Klaus.
"Isn't she a feisty one." Klaus said and I smiled a little, but he didn't see it because my back was turned to him.
"What do you want?" Stefan asked Klaus in a groan as I got back to my glass.
"The question is what you want?" Klaus asked him as I noticed that Stefan managed to sit in the chair. "My hybrids left town as you demanded, so please tell me what I need to do to get my family back."
"Well, see... Klaus...I'm not negotiating." Stefan said after he clearly got better from me kicking him.
"And you understand, that holding them indefinitely is the same thing as dropping them in the ocean?" I just stood and listened in on the conversation
"No, No. You leave Mystic Falls and then give me call in a few years and we'll talk."
"I can give you another chance. Just one more. Let's make a reasonable deal." Klaus said to Stefan and I couldn't help but pay more attention to Stefan.
"Or what? You make one move and I will drop..."
"Yes, right. Crazy Stefan." Klaus said with a little laugh. "How is that working out for you? Any friends left?" For the first time, I actually felt bad for Stefan. He was so concerned about getting revenge on Klaus, he was pushing everyone away. I didn't have many friends in Mystic Falls, that is if you could call Damon and Tyler friends. I didn't spend much time with them, but they were the closest I had to friends at the moment. Without saying anything, I picked up my glass and the blood bag before walking up to the room I was staying in.

After a little while, I decided to go to the Grill. I immediately noticed Klaus at the bar and my mom eating at a table. Instead of doing something by myself, I sat by my mom. I tried not to think about the fact that the whole time I was at the Grill, I could feel Klaus glance at us every once and awhile.

My mom and I had a good time together, even when there were times I thought about the fact that Klaus compelled her to be with me. I made sure I didn't think about it because I was enjoying being with my mom and I didn't want anything to ruin the time. My mom and I played a couple of games a pool before I went back to the boarding house.

I spent the rest of the night reading in the library. It wasn't that much of a busy day, but I enjoyed myself. It was actually one of the calmer days I've had, which I was glad for. When I started to get hungry, I marked the spot in the book before I made some food in the kitchen and went to bed.

(Bringing Out The Dead)

I woke up feeling good, so I decided to go for a jog in the woods before taking a shower. Before everything happened, I usually went on jogs in the morning. It was mainly after I broke the werewolf curse because my dad suggested that I should do it to help with the anger. He was right, it did help but now I was doing it to keep a clear mind and not worry about anything that was happening.

I jogged for a good few hours before going back to the boarding house. As I walked to my room, I couldn't help but overhear Damon talking to Stefan.
"Elijah and I have scheduled a very old fashion sit down with you and Klaus." I heard Damon say and I became interested because I only heard the name Elijah twice before. "I say go with the black. Makes you look all villainy." I didn't say anything, because then they might stop talking if they knew I was listening.
"Klaus won't make a deal, Damon." Stefan said and even though I wasn't completely sure what they were talking about, I agreed with Stefan.
"He didn't have to. All we're doing is buying a little time to give our wicked witches a chance to pop-up the top of the coffin."
'One of Klaus's coffins?' I asked myself.
"So, that's your...uh...plan? Stall Klaus?" Stefan asked Damon.
"If you didn't go postal on his hybrids and Luna then maybe we'd have some options."
"So you unleashed an original to help him out?"
'So Elijah is one of the Originals?' I thought, which I figured would make him Klaus's brother.
"And since when do you care about Luna?" Stefan asked, which made me interested as well.
"I don't." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Damon. "She just seems to hate Klaus just as much as we do and we need all the help we can get. And besides undaggering Elijah was smart, Stefan. You're kidding me? After what Klaus did to him? He's in vengeance mood. Perfect."
"There's nothing smart... about trusting Elijah, Damon." Stefan said and I was going to walk away, but he continued talking. "He screwed us over the last time he promised to help us kill Klaus. We'd be better off with Luna's help since Klaus can't seem to take his eyes off of her." I felt myself blush a little which made me glad that they couldn't see me.
"Yeah, the way you've been acting I trust him about as much as I trust you. And I'm not sure if Luna will help since she kind of hates you." I wasn't sure I hated Stefan. Sure, I didn't like him... but it wasn't hate.
"Well I guess that goes both ways, doesn't it?" Stefan asked Damon and I knew he was talking about the trust situation between the two of them.
"Oh yes this is about me kissing Elena." Damon said and I wasn't really surprised. I could tell that the two of them liked each other and it was just a matter of time before they kissed. "Just remember, if it wasn't for Klaus, you would have never become such a dick and that kiss would never have happened. So get ready and get happy. We're going to negotiate a fake truce and I don't want your attitude screwing it up."
"So you kissed Elena." I said as I stepped up to Stefan's doorway, which made the two of them turn towards me. "About time."
"What do you want?" Damon asked and I just shrugged.
"Nothing." I said to Damon before looking towards Stefan. "I wouldn't say I hate you, just a strong dislike because you've been a dick towards me."
"Can you leave? We're in the middle of something." Damon said and I stopped myself from rolling my eyes.
"You mean your fake truce with Klaus?" I asked. "I eavesdropped on the entire conversation." I said when I noticed their expressions. "Have fun with that." I said before walking away.

When I got to my room, I let some water run for a shower while my mind started to wonder. 'Do I really hate Klaus?' I asked myself. Klaus did kill me and almost everyone I knew, except he did give me my mom back. I only mentioned her once when we were in Tennessee, but I wasn't sure if I wanted her to be back because of compulsion. Deep down I know that I would have eventually met up with her again if I didn't run into Klaus, but I didn't know if it would have been good or bad. Because of Klaus, I have a good relationship with her again... even though it seems sort of forced. I took a deep breath and shook my head, not wanting to think about it like that. 'I have my mom, that's what matters' I told myself before getting some clothes to wear after I was done with the shower.

I tossed the clothes onto my bed before noticing that my phone had vibrated. It ended up being a text from Klaus inviting me to dinner. There was a small part of me that wanted to, but I couldn't bring myself to say yes. Instead of replying, I turned my phone off and tossed it into the clothes before I went into the bathroom.

After the shower, I made myself a sandwich before noticing that Damon and Stefan were gone. I internally smiled and grabbed the book I had been reading before going up to Damon's room. He couldn't kick me out of his room if he didn't know I was in it. 'I'll be out before he notices' I thought as I laid on his bed and began to read.

After taking a break with the book, I decided to watch Damon's TV. It was bigger than the one I had in my room back when I lived with my dad. I let out a sigh before picturing him and my mom with me in my head. 'I have that picture' I thought when I pictured the last time we were together. 'Thanks to Rebecca' I thought with a small smile before forcing myself to pay attention to what was on the TV. I didn't want a sad day while I was by myself. I wanted it to be like an almost normal day.

I got back to my room before Damon and Stefan got back. I made sure Damon's room looked like I didn't go in there because I didn't want him to say anything. He was sort of like a friend and I didn't want each of us in a fight. I was going to turn my phone back on, but I decided against it before flopping on the bed and quickly falling asleep.

~ 60 plus reviews on this story! (: I hope that we can try to get as close to 100 as we can get before the end of season 3... The more reviews this story has, the more likely season 4 (the sequel) will be posted sooner (: (after I finish season 3 for this obviously)

~ I'm trying to plan what Luna's ball dress will look like. I have a couple of ideas... but I would like to hear what colors you think her dress should be. Any color besides silver though... that was the color of her homecoming dress.
~ I'm also thinking of a nickname that Kol could call Luna when he comes into the story in the next chapter. Klaus sort of calls Luna 'Lovely Luna' while Damon and Stefan sort of calls her 'The Ginger Hybrid'.

~ If there any specific things that Klaus and Luna could talk about in the next chapter and in All My Children, please don't be afraid to share. I can tell that in the next chapter and in All My Children, that there will be Kol/Luna scenes and Klaus/Luna scenes. (:

~ I hope you can check out my new TVD story 'Out Of Place', which is an alternative sequel to 'What's Hidden Underneath' and an alternate version of 'Changes Within'. It only has two reviews right now and it has two chapters. I'm hoping to get more reviews on it before I get the third chapter up... which I'm working on.
~ I also hope you can check out 'Past Temptations', which is going to (hopefully) be one of my main stories over the TVD hiatus.
~ My main stories depend on how many reviews a story gets. This one (right now) is easily going to be one of my main stories... but to keep it that way, you have to keep up the reviews. The more reviews, the more quickly the updates come and hopefully I can get to the end of season 3 (for this) before TVD season 5 starts. Hopefully if you like any of my other current stories, please review them for quicker updates and to make sure I keep updating them (:

R&R 'till the next update
