~ All My Children is one of my all time favorite episodes of TVD. My favorite of season 3. I think mainly because of Klaus, Kol, and the Klaroline scenes.

~ Hopefully I can continue this 'one update a week' thing that I've been doing with the past three updates. I still work on my other stories and I try to update those even if I don't update this story.

Vampirejacinta: Luna has already started to fall for Klaus, but she's been denying it because of the obvious reasons. If you count this chapter.. there are only eight episodes until the end of season 3. I will definitely be getting more into Kluna (Klaus and Luna).. (lol) and Koluna? (Kol and Luna)... but about 99% of it will be about Kluna. The Koluna won't really come into play until season 4. I think Luna will have a rocky friendship with Stefan but she would sooner go for Damon than Stefan I think. There is actually a reason for Koluna, which I will be getting more into as I get closer to the end of season 3 because it will be a major part in season 4 (if the reviews let me get that far). You don't sound crazy.. lol I feel the same way when I read some fanfictions to (:

whitedwarf: Thank you for your review (: Some of the Caroline/Klaus scenes in the show are important to building their relationship so I just edit them to fit Kluna. I don't like the stories where they just replace Caroline with an OC and have almost the exact same scenes with the same words so I make it different for whatever character I'm writing for. Luna is different than Caroline so of course there are thing that are different... especially with Klaus trying to get with her. If they were to ask Luna to distract Klaus... she definitely wouldn't be comfortable with doing it. I can say that she will unknowingly distract him when it comes to when Alaric daggers Kol (I'm not going to say how though). I don't think that Damon and the others really trust Luna enough to let them know what they are doing... but there might be times when they need her help (like when they go after Evil Alaric in Before Sunset). After what happens in this chapter.. I'm going to try and get her to help Bonnie, although she might end up hanging out with Rebecca more. By the time the season 3 events end.. they might feel like Luna can be more of a friend and less than an enemy. Most of the Kol/Luna is set for season 4... but I'm going to try and fit as much of it as I can before then (: Kol won't have to work as hard as Klaus because Kol hasn't done anything bad to Luna yet. I have big plans involving Klaus/Luna/Kol... but some of it (the parts that I'm really looking forward to writing) is near the end of season 3 and the beginning of season 4.

Anna.B: I'm glad you're starting to feel better. As long as you are still reading the stories... that's fine (: If you think that the last chapter was good, wait until you read this one (: I'm writing this reply before I write the chapter... but I know that I'm going to have a lot of fun writing the chapter because 'All My Children' is one of my top 3 favorite episodes of season 3. There will be a Klaus/Luna/Kol scene in this chapter and a I actually can't wait to make Klaus jealous... which I think is kind of bad, but I don't care lol (: I had a few ideas, which one you actually mentioned with the champagne... As long as it makes sense to you it shouldn't matter... lol (it makes sense to me, by the way). At the moment with what I want to do with season 4... I don't know if Kol will die just yet... but I will cross that bridge when I get to it (: I mainly only have up to the Christmas special kind of planned in my had when it comes to the Klaus/Luna/Kol triangle... but I know I will plan more before I start it so I know where I want to go with it. Maybe when I get to 'Heart Of Darkness' (another one of my top episodes from season 3) she will go with Damon and Elena to see Jeremy where she runs into Kol... but I think she will have a reason when it comes to that. I think in the finale (and this chapter) she will have some interaction with Elijah. *Little spoiler* Luna will be going with Klaus, Kol, and Elijah when they confront Esther... so she will have that scene with Elijah and maybe even a little before if I don't forget.

ENJOY!

Luna's POV

I opened my eyes and looked up at the ceiling. The events of the ball flashed in my head. They were mainly images of Klaus and when we were dancing. He was nice most of the night and there were times when I didn't think about the things that he has done to me. 'Why does he like me?' I asked myself before forcing myself to get out of the bed. I went to the closet and just looked at it. My eyes wouldn't leave the dress that Klaus gave me, which was basically in the middle of the closet. I quickly took out a few things before closing the closet, hoping not to think of Klaus longer than I had to.

I tried to take a long shower as I tried not to think about him. There was a part of me that wanted to think of him, but my mind couldn't help but go over the things he has done to me. I let out a sigh and just tried to focus on the scent of the shampoo I was using.

After the shower, I decided to read a book that I saw the other day. I wanted it to be a calm day and I was trying to avoid Klaus once again. It was easier to ignore the feelings he brought out in me when I wasn't around him. I lifted my head to see Stefan come into the library. We just gave each other a small nod before I went back to the book.
"Join me for a little victory drink?" I could hear Damon ask and I knew it was meant for Stefan.
"Should wait until Klaus is dead." Stefan said to Damon as he turned around from facing the fireplace.
"You guys still planning on killing him?" I asked without looking up from the book.
"Yep." Damon said, popping the 'p'. "Why are you so extra broody? Did you see the way we stood up to Elena? I like you on my team. Must have driven her nuts." I slightly smiled, even though I didn't exactly know what they were talking about.
"You still think she's gonna screw this up, don't you?" Stefan asked his brother.
"I think somebody needs to talk to her. She's not gonna listen to anything I say." Damon said. I kept my eyes on the book and my ears on their conversation because I wanted to know more.
"Is it because of your little sleepover?"
"It's not my fault she decided to get jealous."
"Well, given who you chose to sleep with, I would say it's 100 percent your fault."
"Who did he sleep with?" I asked Stefan as I lifted my head from the book.
"Rebecca." Stefan said and I was a little shocked.
"Damon and Rebecca sitting in a tree." I said towards Damon as I began to make fun of him. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes..."
"Shut up." Damon said before I could finish, which made me smile.
"You can't blame me wanting to tease you." I said because I got along with Damon better than stefan.
"Whatever." Damon said and rolled my eyes before returning to the book. "Did you a favor. Now you can come in and sweep her off her feet."
"Nah. She's better off without me." Stefan said and I knew that they were talking about Elena. "Sure as hell better off without you."
"Fine. Neither one of us gets her." Damon said and I rolled my eyes. "Just make sure she doesn't screw up Esther's plan."
"You guys are idiots." I said as I marked my spot in the book before standing up from the couch. "It doesn't matter who you think she's better off with... if you like her, do what you can and try to get with her." I said as I looked between the both of them. "Otherwise you'll never know." I started to walk away because I had a feeling that they were going to groan about Elena all day.
"Is that what you tell yourself about Klaus?" Damon asked me and I stopped in my spot.
"Am I with him right now?" I asked without turning towards him before I continued to walk away.

I couldn't help but think of Damon's words. 'Do I end up hanging out with Klaus to give him a chance?' A part of me couldn't help but think that was true, but I didn't want to give him a chance, not after everything. When we were together at the ball, I think I was giving him a chance even though I didn't really want to. I let out a sigh as I walked up to my room to continue reading the book.

After a while of reading, I decided I needed some air so I left the boarding house. I jogged to the Grill because I felt like I needed it. The music my phone played while I jogged help take my mind off of things. I didn't bother stop playing the music as I entered the grill. 'Great' I thought when I noticed Klaus and Kol at the bar. I pretended I didn't see them as I walked to the bar.
"I remember you from last night." Kol said to me and I was able to hear him over my music.
"I hope that's a good thing." I said as I took one of the headphones out of my ear.
"It's a very good thing." Kol said with a smirk.
"Say another word and I'll tear out your liver." Klaus said to Kol and I controlled myself from saying anything.
"Don't be a party pooper Nik." I couldn't help but smirk at Kol's words.
"Join us for a drink?" Klaus asked me after a few seconds.
"Sure, why not?" I asked with a sigh before sitting next to Kol. "It's less depressing that drinking alone." The bartender gave me a drink.
"What's the music you're listening to?" I could hear Kol ask me.
"It's just rap." I said after taking a sip from my glass. "It helps when I want to clear my head." I couldn't help but think of how much I've needed to clear my head in the past few days. 'Ever since he came back into my life' I thought before taking another sip from my glass.

I had a few glasses before I decided to play some pool. After not even five minutes, Kol and I started to play together. He said that he had played it before, but I wasn't so sure.
"Stop staring at my ass Kol." I said as I lined up my aim.
"Who said I'm staring there?" Kol asked me and I rolled my eyes.
"I can feel your eyes burning a hole through my jeans." I said before I got a ball in a pocket.
"Then you should get new jeans..." He almost whispered to me as I stood up to look at the pool table.
"Would that be before or after your brother tears out your liver?" I asked him and he chuckled as I began to line up another shot. "Are you sure you've played this before? Cuz you're losing." I said after I got another ball in a pocket.
"Or I could be letting you win." Kol said with a smirk as I walked around the table.
"A challenge is good. If you're letting me win... that's boring." I said before missing a shot.
"If you want a challenge..." Kol didn't finish, instead he just got two pool balls in one shot.
"Oh, big deal..." I said "...I could have done that." He just looked at me with a small smirk before getting some more in. "Now you're just showing off." I said and he let out a little chuckle.
"You said you wanted a challenge."
"That doesn't mean you have to show off." Kol took a shot, but didn't get any. "My turn." I said before glancing Klaus out the corner of my eye. "You know your brother is shooting jealous daggers at you." I said before lining up my shot. Kol didn't say anything as I missed a ball.
"It looks like you're losing your touch." He said and I just rolled my eyes.
"I'm going to take a little break." I said, not really feeling like playing pool much longer. "Feel free to start another game." I gave him a small smile before walking out the Grill.

I walked until I saw a bench. I sat down on it and looked up at the sky. The full moon was shining in the sky and I couldn't help but think of my dad. After I broke my werewolf curse, he was always there for me. He was there for my high school graduation, when Klaus had turned me, and just everything since my mom left. 'I wish I could talk to you' I thought towards my dad, knowing that he was watching me. 'I miss you.' I could tell that tears were falling and I didn't care because there was no one around me to see.
"Luna!" I could hear Klaus almost shout towards me.
"I just want to be alone right now." I said as I tried to look away from him.
"What's got you upset love?" Klaus asked as he sat down next to me.
"In case you haven't noticed... it's a full moon tonight." I said, trying not to sound like I was crying. "That means a month ago you killed my dad."
"How can I acquit myself?"
"For starters you can stop trying so hard to make me like you. The dress and the bracelet..." I let out a sigh, not knowing what to say.
"You didn't like them?" He asked me, sounding a little hurt even though he tried to hide it.
"I did like them and that's the problem. It's just..." I paused, trying to find the right words "...how am I supposed to react to the person who killed my dad when they give me things?"
"Come on, take a chance, Luna." Out the corner of my eye, I could tell that he put his arm on the back of the bench. "Talk to me. Come on, get to know me. I dare you." I finally looked at him, knowing that I had tears in my eyes. Klaus's expression saddened a little but I tried to ignore that. I didn't really want to talk to him, but he was basically daring me. If he actually knew me, he would know that I didn't like to pass up dares.
"Fine." I said after a few moments with frustration as I wiped the tears from my eyes. "What do you want to talk about?"
"I want to talk about you." Klaus said, which slightly surprised me. "Your hopes, your dreams, everything you want in life."
"I'm too smart to be seduced by you." I said to him, which made him smirk.
"Well, that's why I like you." I looked away from him, not wanting to show the smile that wanted to show.
"I used to like the full moon, even when I had to turn... but now I don't..." I said when I found myself looking back up at the moon. There was a part of me that thought Klaus was going to say something, but when he didn't I started to speak again. "Now it's just going to be a constant reminder of my dad. He stayed with me after my mom left so I wouldn't be alone. Without him... I feel alone." I wiped away the tears that were falling from my eyes. "I hate crying." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to pretend that Klaus wasn't next to me.

General POV

Luna and Klaus were sitting together on the bench. Klaus was taking in what Luna said about her dad. It made him start to regret killing someone in his entire existence. He saw what losing her dad did to her and he just wanted to make the tears go away. Klaus was about to say something, but he felt a pain in his chest. He stood up, which made Luna look at him.
"What is it?" Luna asked as she stood up. There was a flicker of worry in Klaus's eyes before it switched to surprise when he saw what was happening to Luna. She noticed his expression and looked at herself. Luna's body started to turn grey and veins started to appear all over it. She looked up at Klaus before the greyness reached her face. Klaus basically lunged after her when she started to fall. He caught her in his arms and looked at her. It looked like she was dead, which made Klaus think he lost her. Tears formed in his eyes, but then he remembered Kol. He made sure Luna was in his arms before making his way back towards the Grill.

Alaric had brought Kol's daggered body out of the grill. He was just about to hand Kol's body to Damon, but he was knocked over by Klaus. Alaric landed right next to Luna's body that Klaus was able to place on one of the steps. Klaus took the dagger from Kol's body and let him fall while turning his attention to Damon.
"I should have killed you months ago." Klaus said to Damon, almost seething with anger. He didn't like it when people went after his family and not to mention this time they were going after Luna.
"Do it." Damon said, not noticing Luna's body on the steps. "It's not going to stop Esther from killing you."
"What did you say about my mother?" Klaus threatenly asked. He wasn't able to see that both Kol and Luna were beginning to return to normal.
"You didn't know I was friends with your mummy?" Damon asked Klaus. "Yeah, we have a lot in common. She hates you as much as I do." Klaus moved until he was inches from Damon with the intent of pulling his heart out, only to be stopped by a voice.
"We still need them, Niklaus." Elijah said from the top of the stairs, which made Klaus turn towards him. Klaus was so caught up in the moment, he didn't notice that Kol and Luna were sitting on the steps as they watched the scene in front of them.
"What did mother do?" Klaus as Elijah as he took a few steps away from Damon. "What did she do, Elijah?" Instead of answering, Elijah walked down the steps being careful not to bump into anyone on the steps.
"You tell me where the witches are or I'll have my sister kill Elena right now." Elijah threatened to Damon while he held a phone in his hand. Behind Klaus, both Luna and Kol stood up as Damon looked up at the clock.
"You told me we had until after nine." Damon said with frustration towards Elijah.
"I'm sure Rebecca will be more than happy to start her work early." Elijah said, ready to call his sister at any moment.
"Fine." Damon said before giving Stefan a signal. The two of them left, leaving Luna alone with the Originals.
"What happened?" Luna asked to both Klaus and Elijah.
"I'll explain on the way." Elijah said as he began to walk towards the steps. Klaus couldn't help but look at Luna, which she noticed. He didn't know what happened to her, but he just hoped that it wouldn't again. Luna just gave him a small smile to let him know she was alright before following Elijah. Kol and Klaus didn't say anything to each other before they followed their brother and Luna.

Luna was following the Originals to the abandoned witch house, where the Bennetts and Esther were. True to his word, Elijah explained to Luna what was happening... as much as he could. He didn't know how Luna was affected like the others, but that wasn't their only issue at the moment. Although Klaus was also concerned about how Luna fit into everything with Esther's plan, he wanted to stop Esther before they found out. Luna was also worried about why Esther wanted to harm her. She didn't do anything against Esther. 'It's just another thing to worry about.' Luna thought before they started to see Esther and Finn.
"My sons and Luna, come forward." Esther said as she took a few steps forward.
"Stay beside me, Mother." Finn said as he held out his arm to stop Esther from walking any further.
"It's okay." Esther said as she stood next to Finn inside the circle. "They can't enter." Kol tried to step up to his brother, but the flames on the touches got bigger.
"That's lovely." Kol said after he knew that they couldn't get in. "We're stuck out here, while the favorite son plays sacrificial lamb. How pathetic you are, Finn." Luna was standing behind Kol, but close to Klaus as she paid attention to Esther and Finn.
"Be quiet, Kol." Esther said to Kol. "Your brother knows virtue you cannot even imagine." Luna rolled her eyes before Elijah started to speak.
"Whatever you think of us, killing your own children will be an atrocity." Luna didn't say anything, but she agreed with Elijah.
"My only regret is that I did not let you die a thousand years ago." Esther said and Luna took a step forward.
"You're a bitch." She almost spat at Esther. Not only was she feeling anger towards Esther for wanting to kill her own kids, but the full moon influenced her actions.
"Excuse me?" Esther asked, almost like she was offended.
"You heard me." Luna said with confidence. "You're a bitch. What other type of person would murder their own kids?" Esther felt some anger of her own. She didn't want Luna interfering with her plan, so she focused some magic on her. Luna started to clutch her head in pain and found herself falling to the ground. Klaus noticed Luna as she began to fall and he caught her, like he had done earlier. Even though Luna was affected when Kol was daggered, the others weren't affected when Esther started to harm Luna with magic. Klaus worriedly looked at Luna, who was in pain before looking up at Esther.
"Enough." Klaus said with anger. "End this now, Mother, or I'll send you back to Hell."
"For a thousand years, I've been forced to watch you." Esther said, not phased by what she was doing to Luna or Klaus's words towards her. "Felt the pain of every victim, suffered while you shed blood. Even you, Elijah, with your claim to nobility, you're no better. All of you. You're a curse on this Earth. Including Luna." She said as she glanced at Luna, who was still clutching her head in pain.
"Leave Luna out of this." Klaus said with anger towards Esther.
"She is a part of this ever since you tainted her Niklaus." Esther said towards Klaus. "Luna was pure and happy before you tainted her with the curse of being a abomination. She is a mistake." Luna didn't hear most of the conversation, but she did hear Esther say 'She is a mistake'. If Luna wasn't in pain, she would have lunged after Esther. Tears started to form in Luna's eyes from both the pain and what Esther said about her. "Your evilness has been stretched out over generations. If you've come to plead for your life, I'm sorry, you've wasted your time." Esther closed her eyes, ready to do the spell. Klaus just looked down at Luna in worry, hoping that the pain would stop. A part of him felt helpless because he couldn't do anything to help Luna. It felt like hours passed before they noticed Esther wasn't killing them. "No! Sisters! Do not abandon me!" Klaus reluctantly looked up from Luna to see the flames on the torches grow bigger.
"Mother!" Finn said as he protectively grabbed Esther. Elijah and Kol turned away from the flames while Klaus bent over Luna so he could protect her from them. When Klaus knew the flames were out, he sat up with Luna still in his arms. He looked up for a moment to see that Esther and Finn were gone before looking back down at Luna. She wasn't clutching her head in pain or screaming. She just looked like she was sleeping.
"Luna?" Klaus quietly asked which made Kol and Elijah turn towards him. "Luna?" Klaus asked again when Luna didn't move. He worriedly looked at her before he noticed that she started to open her eyes.
"Is she gone?" Luna asked Klaus when she noticed it was him. Klaus just gave her a small nod which was returned with a small smile. "I don't want to be alone." Luna said before fainting in Klaus's arms. Klaus looked at her with sadness and worry in his eyes. He knew the same feeling about not wanting to be alone and hoped that he could help Luna not feel that.

Luna was laying in a bed. She slowly started to open her eyes to realize that she wasn't in her own room. It wasn't even a room that she had been in before. She slowly sat up and realized that there was no more pain in her head. She couldn't help but look around the room and wonder whose room she was in. After a few moments she slowly got off the bed and started to look around. Luna noticed the letters on the wall above the bed, but she didn't bother to read them. She was more interested on the other things in the room. After a few minutes she started to put the pieces together and she figured out that she was in Klaus's room. 'He must have brought me here' She thought before noticing a drawing. Luna stepped up to a table to get a better look at the drawing and just couldn't help but stare at it. The drawing was of her in her ball gown next to a horse.
"Do you like it?" Klaus asked from the doorway as Luna picked up the drawing in her hand. Luna couldn't help but look at him, slightly surprised by his appearance.
"Did you do it?" She asked as Klaus began to step closer to her.
"Yeah. I... uh, actually have a few more." Klaus said, slightly embarrassed but happy she was okay.
"Stalker alert." Luna jokingly said. "It's nice." She said with honesty. Luna actually liked the drawing.
"You can have it if you want." Klaus said, remembering what she had said to him earlier that night. He wanted Luna to have it, but he wasn't going to force her.
"Thanks." She said with a small smile before turning fully towards Klaus. Luna couldn't help but notice that there was only a few feet in between the two of them. Klaus slowly took a few steps closer to her, hoping to close the gap between them. He noticed that her eyes looked towards his lips as he brought a hand to brush some of her hair behind her ear. Luna tried to control herself as he kept getting closer. Klaus brought his head closer to Luna, with the intent of kissing her. "I should go." Luna said as she took a step back from Klaus. He was disappointed, but quickly tried to hide it. "I was supposed to meet my mom earlier and now I'm late." Luna semi-lied to Klaus as she began to walk towards the hall. She was going to meet her mom, but it wasn't planned. Luna was about to exit his room before she stopped. "You may not have made up for what you've done to me..." Klaus couldn't help but turn towards Luna "... just thanks for earlier." She said before leaving. Luna wanted to figure out what to say, but what would she say? Thanks was the only thing that came out of her mouth before she left Klaus's room. Klaus just stood in his spot and watched as she walked away. He couldn't help but think of what she wanted to say instead of what she did say. He knew that there would be time to ask her what she was going to say and he intended to find out.

~ After I wrote the dialogue for the last scene, I had an idea for something else that could have happened. I thought that it would be better how I originally planned it, but that doesn't mean you don't be able to see the other scene. The other scene is going to be a dream of Luna's in the next chapter (: This way I get to write both scenes (:
~ Luna won't see Klaus again in person until The Murder of One, if I can keep that idea in by the time I get to that episode.

~ I'm not sure... but I was thinking that when I get to Heart Of Darkness, there might be one or two Koluna scenes... but it depends on your ideas of it are. I don't know how she will get to Denver but I sort of want her to with the episodes that happen before that.
~ I'm also not sure if Luna should meet Sage or not. If she did, Luna would probably be at the boarding house for the 'party' that Damon throws with Sage and Rebecca.
~ I really only have the episodes from Do Not Go Gentle (episode 20) the to finale really planned so anything I can add before that or any ideas that you would like to see... please don't be afraid to share. That also goes for season 4 events.

~ When I get to season 4 events, do you think that I should continue it under this story (just keep adding on) or should I start a new story for the season 4 events?
~ Hopefully this story can continue to get the reviews like it got on the last chapter. My goal is for this story to reach 100 reviews before the end of season 3 events. Do you think we can make that?

~ On a different note, for those of you that didn't know I have a story called You Can Never Forget that involves Damon/Elena/Klaus. Hopefully you can check that out and review it because I want to write another chapter for that but I don't have any inspiration for it at the moment. Hopefully you can check it out. I also hope you check out my story 'Out Of Place' because it's in need of reviews.

R&R 'till the next update
