~ I stayed up late just to post this for you guys (:
~ I tried to add some Kluna (Klaus+Luna) in this chapter because there won't be any until Do Not Go Gentle (which is the 20's decade dance).
Arowana: In the show Damon used Rebecca and I sort of thought that Luna needed some anger towards Damon with what happens to him in this chapter. This chapter will sort of tell if Luna is still planning revenge against Klaus or if she's given up those plans. I'm planning to send Luna to Denver especially with what's going to happen in this chapter. Luna will need some time away from Mystic Falls. With Kol... I may or may not have a little affair with him planned, but we will have to see how the next chapter turns out.
~ I liked the number of reviews the last chapter got, I just hoped that they would have been more constructive/helpful than they were.
ENJOY!
Luna's POV
I opened my eyes and just stared out the window. The room that I picked out had a nice view, which was nice to see in the morning. I sat up and slowly walked towards the window. I opened the window and let some air flow in. The sun was bright and I was glad that I didn't burn in the sun. 'The morning sun' I thought with a small smile before hearing a noise. I let my curiosity get the better of me and I sped towards the noise.
"Gather your witch." I saw Rebecca, Klaus and Finn in the house. "Let's get his blood and get on with it." 'They must not see me' I thought as I watched what was happening.
"You can't force me to help you." Finn said from the ground as he slowly stood up.
"Oh, I most likely could, but why force when I can persuade?" I looked towards where Klaus was pointing and I noticed Sage walking down the stairs.
"Hello Finn." Sage said with a small smile.
"Sage." I could tell Sage smiled when Finn said her name. Finn started to go towards her and I couldn't help but smile at the fact they were happy.
"What do you know, true love prevails." Rebecca said and I found myself looking at Klaus.
"It does occasionally have its uses." Klaus said to Rebecca as he looked at his phone. 'He wouldn't' I found myself sadly thinking towards Klaus. "Easier than torturing him."
"I have something to do." Rebecca said to Klaus. "What do you need from me for this spell?"
"Just your blood and your blessing. Where are you going?"
"I have some unfinished business with Damon Salvatore." I saw Rebecca glance up at me. "Ask Sage what he did to Luna." She said when she looked back at Klaus. "Then you'll understand why retribution is in order." Rebecca looked back at me. "Want to help?" She asked me and I knew it was about the revenge towards Damon. I just shook my head before she walked out. Klaus and I looked at each other for a few seconds before I looked back over at Sage and Finn. 'They look happy' I thought with a small smile. There was a moment when I thought that I might be happy like that, but then I thought of everything that has happened to me. I found myself looking back at Klaus, who was looking at me before I started to walk back towards the room I stayed in.
When I got back to the room, I noticed that I left the window open. I decided to leave it open as I went to a drawer that I put some of my clothes in. I easily picked out a pair of loose black pants and a low-cut light purple T-shirt. There was a second when I thought Klaus followed me, but when I looked at the doorway, he wasn't there. A part of me was disappointed, but I wasn't really sure if I wanted to walk to him. After what he said about love to Rebecca, I couldn't help but wonder if there would even be a chance. I was still mad at him for what he did to me, but I couldn't deny my feelings that were developing for him. I just let out a sigh before walking to the bathroom that was attached to the room so I could take a shower.
After the shower, I wasn't feeling really hungry so I just made two sandwiches. One was for me and the other was for Bonnie. No one said anything, but I knew that she was going to be the witch that would unlink us. I wanted to be unlinked, but if I thought I knew Klaus, he wouldn't be kind towards Bonnie. 'If you want someone to do something for you, it's better if you're nice to them.' I thought as I stepped into the room where I knew Bonnie was.
"Here." I kindly said as I handed the sandwich towards her. "I thought you might be hungry." She gave me a small smile.
"Thanks." Bonnie grabbed the sandwich and I noticed her expression.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I sat on a chair that was near her.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because unlike the others, I'm actually nice." There was a small smile on her face and I could tell that she was considering telling me.
"My mom left again."
"I'm sorry." I said, even though I didn't know much about why her mom left. "I know the feeling."
"You do?" I nodded my head.
"I became a werewolf at 16 and at first my mom was mad, but my dad calmed her down because he was also a werewolf." I said as I began to tell the story to Bonnie. "She didn't like that I was like my dad, but she was at least glad I didn't have to go through turning alone. About a year and a half passed before I got turned into a hybrid. My mom sort of freaked out and left me with my dad. It was one of the three worst days of my life." I took a deep breath and looked away from Bonnie. "I know she's here in Mystic Falls, but it isn't the same knowing she was compelled. it would have been better if she came back on her own terms instead of it being forced."
There was a silence between us before I heard footsteps come into the room.
"Tick-tock." Klaus said as he walked into the room and I couldn't help but wonder if he heard what I said to Bonnie. "I should hear chanting by now."
"I'm still studying the unlinking spell." Bonnie said as she looked at a book in front of her, not mentioning what we talked about. "It's not that easy, especially under duress."
"You've been warned." Klaus said to Bonnie as he stepped up behind her. "If you're looking for a way to send for help, I will kill anyone who comes to your rescue."
"And if Luna tries to stop you?" Bonnie as she stood from the chair. Klaus and I didn't say anything before Bonnie spoke up. "This is the spell." She pointed to the book. "I just don't know if I'm strong enough." Bonnie took a few steps away, like she was trying to get away from Klaus.
"Then you should have a little more faith in yourself, Bonnie." He stepped closer to her. "Your energy helped my mother link us. Honestly, I think someone isn't trying very hard." When Bonnie didn't say anything, he pulled out his phone. "Very well." He dialed a number and started to talk. "Kol. How's the weather up there in Mile High City?" I looked towards Klaus, but I didn't bother to listen in on Kol's side of the conversation. "And how's our friend? May I see him?" Klaus walked over to Bonnie and held his phone in front of her. "There's Jeremy, playing fetch with his new puppy. Oh, isn't that just the most adorable thing you've ever seen?" I could tell by Bonnie's reaction, she cared about Jeremy. Klaus pulled his phone away and held it by his ear. "Thank you Kol, we'll be in touch." Klaus hung up and slipped his phone back into his pocket. "So, Bonnie, how bout that spell?" I looked at Bonnie for a minute before I stood up and walked away.
When I was in the kitchen, I managed to find a blood bag in the freezer. I started to drink it with my eyes closed, hoping that it would calm me. I never thought that I would be drinking blood to calm myself, considering the first time I ever had blood I killed the person. That was one of the main reasons I made myself feed from animals, because I didn't want to hurt anyone else. When I opened my eyes, it took me awhile to realize that Klaus was standing at the doorway.
"I just needed a little drink." I said before turning towards the kitchen window so I could pretending he wasn't looking at me.
"What happened with Damon?" Klaus asked without moving.
"It was nothing." I said, not really wanting to tell him. "I messed up his room to get back at him."
"It has to be something." Klaus said and I could tell that he was walking towards me. "My sister doesn't go after just anyone." I just held the blood bag in my hand, not wanting to tell him.
"It's my problem." I said, trying to think of the right words to say. "Not yours."
"Luna..." He softly said my name before I felt his hand on my arm.
"Look," I said when I turned to face him "... I get that you like me. I can deal with that, but I've practically been through hell because of you and I'm still standing. And it's not because I've had others to talk to or people want to help me. It's because I've had people I love." I couldn't help my anger and emotions, even though I didn't want to display them in front of Klaus. "People that are barely in my life anymore because of what happened to me. I don't have to tell you what Damon did to me because it's my problem and I can deal with it myself." I started to walk away before feeling myself being pulled back. Before I had a chance to say anything, I felt Klaus's lips on mine. There was a part of me that wanted to pull away from him, but my body was frozen. My free hand went to his waist and I could tell his hand went to the back of my head. As we kissed, I could feel my anger melting away and I almost forgot what I got all worked up about. He slowly pulled away and I couldn't help but look in his eyes. I couldn't see any anger, only concern and happiness. "We should get unlinked." I found myself saying in a whisper before disappointment appeared in his eyes. I started to walk away with the blood bag still in my hand. My mind couldn't help but think about the kiss and how I could still feel his lips on mine.
I went back to the room Bonnie was in and finished the blood bag. My mind was still on the kiss and it made me question what I was really doing by staying in Mystic Falls. 'Was I really staying because I have nowhere else to go?' I asked myself before hearing a scream.
"What was that?" Bonnie asked me and I shrugged my shoulders because I didn't know.
"I wouldn't let it bother you, love." I heard Klaus say, which made me glance towards him.
"Well, it does bother me." Bonnie said to him. "You bother me. You use people to get what you want, it's not right." I looked away because I didn't want to know if he was looking at me or not.
"You're being emotional, Bonnie." Klaus said before taking a few steps closer to her. "I understand that things have been rough for you. You know, with your mother leaving. Again. It's very sad. I can help you find her, if you want. I have people who can find people who can bring her back to you. Or, if you choose I can just bring parts of her back."
"Why would she choose that?" I rudely asked him because I didn't like the way he was acting. "If you force her mom to come back, then it's not real." I said as I glanced towards him for a few seconds before looking away. He could tell I was annoyed with him even though we kissed, even though I think that was adding to how I was acting.
"Isn't it obvious that I'm just gonna continue to hurt the people you love until you do the spell?" Klaus said to Bonnie, ignoring what I said to him. "Now, I know it's in the grimoire and I know it requires the blood of my siblings and Luna, so here we are." He walked up to a shelf and grabbed a case. "Elijah. Rebecca. Kol. Finn." He said as he pointed to each vial in the case before biting into his hand. "Where do you want us?" He held his hand out and let some of the blood droop. I looked at Bonnie as she grabbed a cup from a table that was nearby. She turned around and walked towards Klaus so his blood could drop into it. I stood up, bit into my wrist and let it drop after Klaus was done putting his blood in it.
When I stopped letting my blood drop, Bonnie turned back towards the table. Out the corner of my eye, I noticed Klaus hand me something. I turned my head towards him and noticed it was a piece of cloth. 'To wipe away the blood' I thought before slowly taking it from him. I just gave him small thankful smile before turning my attention to Bonnie. She began to murmur something at the same time she started to pour the vials of blood into the cup. I didn't know what she was saying but I figured it was the spell. After Bonnie poured all the blood into the cup, she poured it in the middle of a circle of candles. I stepped closer to see the big pool of blood split into six smaller pools.
"It's done." Bonnie said after a few moments.
"Thank you." I said with a small smile, which was returned. I knew that no one else would probably say it, so I thought I had to.
After Bonnie packed up her stuff, I decided to walk out with her. Klaus was on one side of her while I was on the other. The three of us stopped in front of a door that Rebecca was walking out of.
"Aw, leaving so soon?" Rebecca asked Bonnie as she wiped her hands.
"Sister. Be nice." Klaus said to Rebecca but I didn't say anything to him.
"Thank you, Bonnie." Rebecca said to her. "See you in Physics class." Rebecca glanced at me before walking away. My eyes went straight to the room she came out of and I noticed Damon. He was handing from the ceiling with blood all over him.
"Oh my God." Bonnie and I said at the same time. 'This is what she was doing?' I asked myself before Klaus spoke up.
"Yeah, you'll have to excuse the mess. Apparently Damon hurt Luna's feelings and my sister took it into her own hands." I only glanced towards Bonnie before looking back towards Damon. "Go on, help him. Save the man who turned your mother into a vampire."
"Just get me out of here." Bonnie said.
"Very well." Klaus said and he left with Bonnie. I just stood in my spot, looking at Damon. 'He shouldn't be like that just because of what he did' I thought before I found myself slowly moving towards him.
I slowly stepped up to him and looked over everything that Rebecca did to him.
"They must really like me." I found myself quietly saying out loud.
"You're telling me." Damon managed to say and I could tell that he was still hurting.
"I could let you out." I offered, not liking that he was in the position he was in.
"Why?" He asked with some confusion.
"I got my revenge on you already by messing up your room. Besides... the sex wasn't half bad." I saw a faint smile on his face. "I'd probably do it again under different circumstances." I couldn't help but look at his wrists and that the things were dug pretty good into them. "They look like they hurt."
"What I'm looking at helps." For a minute I was confused until I looked at what Damon was looking.
"Damon." I said with some embarrassment before stepping away so I wasn't that much in his view. "I'm going to find something to wipe your blood away."
"Thanks." I heard Damon say as I began to walk away. I turned around, gave him a small smile, and then started to walk away again.
I eventually found a towel and I held it in my hand. My mind flashed back to the kiss, even though I was trying not to think about it.
"Klaus, I'm here!" I could hear Stefan yell. "Let's do this." I sped to the room where Damon was, thinking that were Stefan was to. When I got there, I saw Stefan standing with a duffel bag in his hand.
"Oh good, a hero." Klaus said and I noticed him and Rebecca walking into the room. "What do you want?" Stefan tossed the bag to Klaus's feet.
"I'm here to make a deal." Stefan said to Klaus.
"Stefan, what are you doing?" Damon managed to ask, which made me look towards him.
"Eight stakes made of white oak." My eyes shot towards Stefan. I knew that I wasn't linked to them anymore so it couldn't kill me, but it would kill the others. "The part of Wickery Bridge that you forgot to burn."
"That's impossible." Rebecca and I said at the same time when Klaus looked towards us.
"Actually it's not." Stefan said to me and Rebecca before looking towards Klaus. "Finn is dead."
"You killed their brother?" I asked in shock.
"Damon in exchanged for the last eight weapons that can kill you." Stefan said to Klaus.
"And how do I know there aren't any more left?" Klaus asked Stefan and I knew he had reason to not believe him.
"Because there aren't." Stefan said with a straight face which made me think he was lying.
"Let's be certain, shall we?" Klaus walked over to Damon and I tried to brace myself for what he might do. "Leave."
"No." Damon said without looking towards Klaus.
"Go on. Leave."
"Nik, he's my plaything not yours." Rebecca said and I found myself rolling my eyes.
"People aren't playthings." I said to Rebecca before looking towards Klaus. He looked at me for a moment before grabbing Damon by the throat.
"I said, go home." Klaus stepped away from Damon and he started to pull his wrists. I looked away, not wanting to see his skin getting peeled off. "Alright, stop, stop, stop, before you hurt yourself." Klaus said and I thought I could hear some humor in his voice. I reluctantly looked back to see Klaus looking towards us. "Well, seeing that he can finally be compelled. Now..." Klaus grabbed Damon's throat again "...minus the stake that's in my brother, how many more stakes are out there that can kill me?"
"Eleven." Damon said and I looked towards Stefan. He had an 'Oh shit' look on his face, which made me knew he was lying before.
"Eleven! Really? So, not eight then." Klaus said as he turned towards Stefan.
"You really shouldn't have lied." Rebecca said.
"I'll get you the other three." Stefan said even though I didn't think he would.
"Yeah, that'll be nice. Or since you lied, maybe I'll just compel your brother to chew out his own tongue."
"What is wrong with you?" Stefan asked Klaus.
"What is wrong with you?!" Klaus yelled at Stefan with anger in his voice. "Do you really have no appreciation for me? I have given you someone to hate, to loathe, a target for all of your anger," He pointed to himself as he yelled at Stefan "... so you don't have to turn it on yourself. I have given your life purpose, as your friend." He laughed even though I didn't find it funny."I really think you should be thanking me." Stefan sped and held Klaus against the wall with a stake in his hand. "Step down, or you both die." Klaus threatened before Stefan eventually let Klaus have the stake.
"There. Now you only have to get me the other two."
"This is ridiculous." Rebecca said before she started to go towards Damon. I sped towards him with the towel still in my hand so I could help her.
"What are you doing?" Klaus asked, but I ignored him.
"I brought him here." Rebecca said as I made sure Damon didn't fall completely to the ground. "I get to release him. My rules now. Bring us the stakes and you both live. Take your brother as a sign of good faith." Rebecca picked up the duffel bag before walking out of the room.
"Bring us the stakes. All of them. Or I will wage a war against everyone you love." I couldn't help but look up at Klaus, who was looking at Stefan. "I hope I'm being clear." I just let out a sigh before hearing Damon say something.
"Luna..." I looked towards Damon "... sorry." I could hear Klaus stop, even though he didn't say anything.
"Apology accepted." I said, even though he didn't really say it. "At least you've apologized." I was trying to aim that more towards Klaus, who had started to walk away again. Out the corner of my eye, I noticed Stefan walking towards us. "Here." I said to him as I lifted Damon up and handed him to Stefan. I wiped some of Damon's blood off his chest. Damon gave a small smile before Stefan carried him out the house.
After Stefan left with Damon, I wandered around the house to look for Rebecca. There was a part of me that also wanted to talk to Klaus, but I figured that I could try to ignore him for a day until things simmered down.
"I can't believe Finn is dead." I heard Rebecca say and I started to walk towards her voice.
"Good riddance." Klaus said, which made me stop in my spot and listen in. "He was an embarrassment, Rebecca."
"He was still your brother." Rebecca said. "Mind your tongue."
"Fine. Let's all say a prayer for Finn, who slept in a box longer than he lived as a man. He was a lovesick fool." I couldn't help but feel disappointed. I had some thoughts, especially after the kiss, but now I thought that he might not feel that way towards me. "He's better off in death."
"Is that how you would speak of Luna if she died?" There was a silence, even though I was interested in Klaus's answer. "Or if I die?" Rebecca asked when Klaus didn't say anything.
"Well, you let the Salvatores loose with two stakes that can kill us, so I guess we'll find out soon enough. And when did you grow a soft spot for them?"
"The Salvatores may fight like dogs, but in the end they would die for each other. At least they know what family means. You destroyed ours and Luna's."
"Don't bring Luna into this again." There was a second when I thought Klaus was threatening his own sister.
"Did you ever tell her how she ended up linked with us?" There was another silent pause from Klaus, which made me disappointed again.
"I'm not taking away what family she has left." I couldn't help but slightly smile before Klaus started to talk again. "I wanted a family. They just didn't want me and now we're unlinked we're no longer responsible for each other."
"So are you leaving?" My ears perked up even though I didn't know what to feel towards him at the moment.
"As soon as I get my stakes, I'm gone." I felt disappointed, but I tried to remind myself what happened earlier with Damon. "I'm gonna take Elena and use her blood to create a new family. Of hybrids."
"And if I choose to stay? Or Luna?"
"Then you're just as pathetic as Finn." I heard Klaus say before I heard his footsteps. I would have moved, but my feet were almost like they were frozen from shock. "Luna..." I looked to see Klaus with a surprised look on his face.
"I'm not pathetic." I said before speeding out, not even wanting to see his reaction.
I ran straight to where my mom was staying because I needed to talk to her. My mom was the only person that I felt that I could talk to and give my honest answers. I felt like everyone else would take sides if I were to talk to them.
"Mom?" I asked as I looked in her hotel room. She didn't answer, but I could hear her in the bedroom part. "What's wrong?"
"They came here." She said through tears I could tell she was trying to hide. "Finn and Esther."
"Finn's dead." I said with some confusion as I slowly stepped up to her.
"Before the full moon, they came and wanted some of my blood." My mom said even though I was still confused. "Esther said she needed it for a spell to link you with her children." I didn't say anything because I was soaking it in. "I told her no, but then Finn compelled me and I didn't have a choice. I didn't even remember it until earlier." My mom just looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry Luna. I would never to anything to hurt you."
"I believe you mom." I said, trying to control my emotions.
"It won't happen again. I promise." I took a deep breath and nodded my head.
"I know." I sat down next to her and looked her in the eyes. "After I leave the hotel room, you won't remember this conversation. I want you to leave Mystic Falls and go home. You need to be safe and away from everything that's happening. I want you to be happy and you should do that by doing whatever you want, even if that means starting a new family." I couldn't control the tears that were falling from my eyes as I reluctantly used compulsion on my mom. It wasn't something I used because I didn't like that it messes with people's minds, but I felt that it would be the best way to make sure my mom would be safe. "No matter what happens, I love you mom. I always will." I gave my mom a hug, which could be the last hug I would ever give her. "I'm going to miss you." I said before finally speeding out of the hotel room.
I kept running away from Mystic Falls, not even stopping for a second. There was only a few reasons why I was staying and I just made the most important reason leave. I kept telling myself that my mom needed to be happy and safe away from Mystic Falls. I wanted my mom there, but it wasn't real if Klaus compelled her to be there for me. That ass was another reason why I wanted to leave. One minute he was kissing me and it felt like almost the next he was calling me pathetic. He might not have meant it towards me, but I didn't give him a chance to say anything. There was only one place in my mind that I felt like going to and that was Denver.
~ I honestly didn't plan the Kluna kiss in this chapter, it just came out as I typed. I think it still fits with how the chapter ended and how I want the rest of season 3 to go.
~ What type of Koluna (Kol+Luna) scenes do you want to see in the next chapter? I have a few in mind... but I'm keeping them a secret until I upload the chapter (which will hopefully come within the next two weeks, possibly sooner)
~ After writing this chapter, I thought of three ways I could do season 4. Two of them involve Koluna (Kol+Luna) but the other one has more Damon in it. I will let you know the three ideas AFTER I get the chapter for Do Not Go Gentle up (which is the one after Heart Of Darkness). I will also tell you what one I'm leaning more towards, but I'd still like to hear your thoughts when I let you know about the ideas.
~ 15 more reviews until this reaches 100!
~ Hopefully some of you can check out my stories Masquerade and The Salvatore Sister... which only got about one review each on their last chapters. It would really help, especially since The Salvatore Sister is nearing the end of season 1 (with a chapter coming within the next week).
~ I hope that you can check out the facebook page that I made for my fanfiction about a month or two ago (I sort of lost track). I'll be able to update you more often on what story will be getting a chapter (and stories I haven't written yet) before chapters are actually posted on here. I know I mentioned it before, but I'm almost at my two year mark for writing fanfiction. Hopefully you are able to check it out... there might be a special update/post on my two year mark (which is about a week and a half away).
R&R 'till the next update
