"welcome to the mind fuck"

"You have to understand, I only know what I've picked up over the years," Rose started "And I don't know what's true and what's not true, but Klaus I know is real.'

Luna tensed upon hearing his name and felt her heart skip a beat the minute it left her mouth. She adjusted uncomfortably in her seat, taking a sip of the bourbon she helped herself to. Damon noticed the shift in her demeanour and titled his head, his blue eyes boring into hers.  

"Why so tense, baby sis? Scared of Klaus?" Damon mocked with a cocky smile on his face. 

Luna's fear quickly shifted into anger and flooded Damon with a series of aneurysms. He clutched his head in an attempt to ease the pain, his knees buckling with groan as his eyes skewered shut. 

"Okay, Luna enough. Can we act civil, please?" Stefan pleaded, looking between his siblings.

Luna raised her brows in displeasure, the spell ceasing once her back hit the cushion. Damon released a sigh of relief as he slowly dragged himself to his feet. Damon narrowed his eyes at his younger sister and she returned the gesture with a teasing wink.  

"Rose please, continue." Stefan sighed exasperatedly, trying to ease the tension.

"Who are the Originals?" Elena asked, her brows furrowing. Her eyes flicked over to Luna between each word, silently contemplating speaking to her directly but after seeing the interaction with Damon, she opted out quickly. 

"The first generation of vampires." Damon said.

"Like Elijah?" Elena questioned.

"No, Elijah was the Easter bunny compared to Klaus." Rose sighed out, folding her arms over her chest as she explained.

Luna scoffed out a laugh, covering her mouth with her hand quickly after the absent laughter left her mouth. Interrogatory gazes burned into her countenance, waiting for her to explain herself. She kept her eyesight trained on the floor and hoped she'd be ignored.  

"What's so funny?" Stefan broke the silence, questioning her with furrowed brows. 

"Nothings it's just-" Luna said before she laughed again, "It's just, Klaus might have more abilities, but he's definitely not scarier." Luna continued, "And also the fact that you compared Elijah to an Easter bunny." Luna said with a smile.

"How do you know so much about Klaus? Or any of the Originals?" Damon questioned. 

'I guess you could say I have an....' She paused, looking around the room as if it would give her a prompt on what were the right words to use to explain herself, '....somewhat extended knowledge about the Originals.' 

'Well, are you going to share or is this just a fun secret you want to keep to yourself?' Damon raised his brows, his tone almost bitter at how vague her words were. 

"I'll tell you all about it if you want." Luna said while walking over to the alcohol table, pouring herself a bourbon.

The moment she reached the table, a wave of nausea washed over her which was odd for someone who hadn't felt ill since the 1860s. She brushed it off instantaneously, planting her feet into the ground and wishing for the soles of her shoes to stick themselves to the carpeted floor.
