the Mystic Falls Sisters

Luna's POV

After the huge revelation we went home. Sun and I hadn't spoken a word to each other since we left the Mikaelson's residence. It's not that I blamed her for not telling me. How could I when she didn't even know it herself. I just was too overwhelmed by everything that had happened in such a short amount of time. "Are you alright?" Sun asked me. I nodded. She didn't look convinced, so I walked over to her and gave her a hug. "I really am Sun, don't worry about me." I wished her goodnight and went upstairs.

In the shower I broke down. I cried softly. What the fuck was going on? Why was everything falling apart? I didn't just feel sad and angry because of all the bad stuff happening, but somewhere in the back of my mind was this nagging feeling of envy. Not necessarily envy because I wanted to get the attention and I wanted to be a witch or a vampire or anything.

No, I was perfectly fine with being a human. I just wanted to belong. With everyone in my group of acquaintances, friends and family being 'different' I felt like an outsider, now more than ever.

I think I stood there in that shower with the water pouring over me, just staring for at least an hour. I didn't want to get out, but I forced myself to because I didn't want to worry Sun. I threw on the closest pair of pyjamas I could find and fell onto my bed. I wanted to scream, but no words came out. I couldn't sleep. Not like this.

I contemplated on what to do when I decided I'd go out on a walk. It was 2 AM already and I had school the next day, but I didn't care. For once it was me, the careful girl, who decided to do something reckless. I took off my pyjamas and put on a dress and a cardigan, just something comfortable for my midnight stroll.

Silent as a mouse I left the house. I stuffed my bag with just a blanket, my sleeping pills, headphones and my phone. Didn't bother bringing my sketchpad. It was a chilly midnight, but I couldn't even feel the cold air when it reached my skin, for my body was totally numb. I just decided to walk, see where my feet would take me. I walked and walked and walked probably for hours, but what felt like mere seconds.

I found a nice, secluded spot and laid my blanket out. I sat down and just wasn't able to make myself comfortable. Too many thoughts were rapidly racing through my head. I didn't want to think. I just wanted to feel numb. I wanted to sleep. I took some sleeping pills, just two and fell asleep.

I woke up and again I was completely disoriented. My phone had run out of battery so I had no idea what time it was, just that it wasn't morning yet judging by the darkness of the sky. Then it all came back to me. The revelation, my sister being a witch, Damon and Kol both being vampires, me going on a midnight stroll. I felt like taking some more sleeping pills, because I just didn't want to be awake if it felt like this.

I suddenly heard the cracking of leaves behind me. I jolted and turned around to see what was causing the noise. It goes without saying I could see nothing. Then I heard the howling of a wolf. This scared me, there weren't any wolves in the Mystic Falls forests. Another sound of howling, with a slightly higher pitch. Nice, more than one wolf.

I stood up, I knew I had to be super quiet. Wolves have extreme good hearing, so I knew my chances were low. I decided to walk back the way I came here, only I didn't know which direction I had taken. The howling was coming nearer and I started to hear growling as well. I panicked and decided to run of the hill. There was water there I knew and I didn't think wolves could swim. I ran as fast as I could while leaving everything behind. I was too scared to look back even once.

I ran so fast and it was so dark, pitch black, that I didn't see a thing. I didn't see the branch that laid on the ground that made me drop on the floor and fall from the steep slope. I must have hit ten trees on my way down that slope, but I lost count because when I got to the eleventh tree my vision was blurred from the blood and the crash knocked me out.
