Luna Mikaelson

Truth Reveals Itself

I stare down at the calculus homework in front of me. All the numbers mesh together. The only thing I can think of is Beau Waters isn't dead.
"I give up."
I look up from the paper on my bed to the blue eyes of my boyfriend through the screen.
"I don't understand why Alaric is making us do this. None of us will need this in future. We are supernaturals not boring humans." I hear Scott say behind Noah.
"Hey what's wrong with being human? My parents are human," Stefanie retorts.
"Speaking about parents guess where Scott went to last night to have supper," Noah says looking straight at me.
I look down at the numbers which seem a lot easier right now. It's not that I don't want Noah to meet my dad. Right now, I'm not being a good daughter sneaking behind my parents back trying to find my maybe birth father. I'm so confused with this whole situation that adding my boyfriend to the mix, is not what I need right now.
"You know what I think Scott and I are going to go finish our English project. I'll talk to you later. Oh, Luna don't forget Emma is coming to your house next week for your finals."
A little smile spreads across my face. Stefanie knows everything about my birth family project and she knows Emma may be the only witch with experience that I can truly talk to about my predicament.
"Are you ashamed of me?" Noah asks barely above a whisper.
NO!
"Of course not! It's just right now with my whole parent situation I just don't think it's the right time. My head is saying to give up on this whole situation, but my heart keeps saying just try one more time."
I just want answers more then anything. I don't need a new family, I have a family. I just want to know why? What was so wrong with me that they had give me away? Did my birth family not want me?
"Have you tried the Washington tip your aunt Davina gave you a couple of months ago?"
"OOMG Noah I completely forgot about that!"
"Why don't we make it a road trip just the two of us, after finals next week. I'll come down to New Orleans, meet your father and then we go on the search for your birth family. I'll be on best behaviour. I promise."
Noah gives that smile I love so much with only one of his dimples showing.
"Sounds like a plan!"
                                       ***
The clock next my father's desk rings, causing me to jump in my seat.
"Times up. Pencils down Luna." I look up to see Emma in front of me.
I close my math booklet and  hand it to her.
Emma starts to walk back to the desk as I get off my seat.
"Hey Emma I have a question?"
"If it's about a career path since you will be graduating next spring. I think you would be a great teacher especially the way you helped Ruby out this year. It would be a good change of scenery for you Luna. Get you out of the family business if I most say."
I laugh.
None of my family have normal jobs expect my aunt Keelin  who's a nurse. Oh and maybe Marcel since he owns the bar Rousseau but its just a front where supernaturals can do their "business" without the humans knowing.
"I'll think about it, thanks Emma. But that's not the question I want to ask."
I take in a deep breath and let it out. I look down at the desk and notice the sage is still on. This magical sage causes the room to be sound proof. My nerves calm down.
"I have been trying to search for my birth parents since I found out I was a hybrid. So far I keep hitting dead ends. Is it possible to be alive, but not be found by the locator spell. I used everything personal items and my blood, but nothing."
"It could be they are cloaked by another spell."
Why would Beau Waters what to be cloaked?

"My daughter is free at least!"
I laugh as I walk down the stairs with Emma behind me, her bags all packed.
Dad is waiting at the stairs with a big small on his face.
"Well Mr.Mikaelson thank you for letting me stay here these past few days."
"My pleasure."
Dad walks Emma to the door as I walk towards the kitchen to look for something sweet.

"Ohh Nutella yum... hand me a spoon." Mom says as she walks into the kitchen.
The two of us take turns eating from the jar as Dad walks in, "Would you ladies like some bread with that."
"No we are good thanks." Mom replies as I just shake my head spoon in my mouth.
"Luna what would you like to eat tonight. It's your special night! I can't believe I'll have two daughters that will be high school graduates in a year. I'm getting old." A dramatic sigh escapes Dad's lips.
"That's what makes you feel old? Not the fact that you have pictures from the 1920s which was over a 100 years ago?"
"Well love you don't need to make someone feel even older then they already feel."
Mom and I start to laugh.
BANG!
"What was that?" Mom stands up straight.
"Both of you stay here." Dad turns around walking towards the noise like a hunter walking towards his prey.
I stay silent as Mom tries to hear what's going on.
"Klaus! Luna stay here." Mom flashes away.
What is going on?! Dad never needs help in a fight.
"WHERE IS SHE??"
I know that voice.
I run towards the sound.
"Francois what are you doing here?" I look up at the French witch who is really getting on my nerves.
"Salut Luna! Did you miss me?" Francois' green eyes pierce into mine.
"Not one bit."
"How do you know my daughter?" Dad chokes out.
I look towards him and two witches magically have him on his knees, same with Mom.
"Luna and I go way back. Don't we Luna?" Francois gives me a sly smile.
I scowl at him.
"If you think after all these years  you can come back and take her. Your wrong, she's my daughter not yours." Dad sneers.
"Oh no. I'm not her father, but it's sad you say that because your precious daughter has been hunting for her birth family for months now. Looks like you Mikaelson's were not good enough for her after all." Francois chuckles.
"Luna is that true?" I hear Mom ask.
I don't have the guts to look at her instead I look at Francois, "How do you know that?"
"Ever since I found out about your powers, your one of a kind powers. I had people start following you. Today I was finally able to break in because of your teacher Emma. Don't worry your exams will get to Alaric."
My face falls.
Emma is a traitor??
"Now that's all cleared up let's go." Francois grabs my arm. "It's time for you to meet your family."
Before I can react, we vanish in a puff of black smoke.
All I remember are the hurt faces of my parents.
