Luna Mikaelson

A Rendez-Vous with an old Enemy

I slam the book shut.
I quickly put it away and walk out the door.
I know what I need to do
                                       ***
"Today is my last day. I'll be packing my things and leave as soon as one of my parents arrive."
I storm into professor Alaric's office.
"Luna...umm...can we talk later? I'm kind of in the middle of something," Professor Alaric says.
I finally notice the two middle age couple sitting in front of the desk.
"Oh sorry about that. I'll just wait outside."
I slowly back away and walk out the room.
I pace the hall as my thoughts keep swirling.
The book said we shouldn't meet. And here we are sleeping three rooms from  each other every night.
Going to New Orleans will be safer for everyone. If I leave maybe that witch will be wrong and we will both survive and become amazing witches.
I pull out my phone to call my mom as the door opens.
"I hope you will consider the Salvatore boarding school for your twin sons as they slowly come into their powers," professor Alaric says just as he shakes the man and then the woman's hand.
As they walk away he turns to me,
"In my office now."
I walk into the office as he closes the door behind us.
"What was that all about? You should be in math class right now learning trig not packing your bags."
"I can explain. But maybe we should sit down it might take awhile."
Professor Alaric leans on his desk arms crossed waiting for me to talk. I decide to stand as my nerves get the best of me.
I talk a deep breath.
"The words from the creepy snake eye witch has been haunting me every since she uttered them. So vague yet riddled with answers. I couldn't sleep last night and I was going to grab a glass of water I over heard the conversation you had with my parents. That creepy witch was the one who not only saved my father's life but also brought me to them. She's a link to my past and she will see me again. Then the words she uttered about only Ruby or I are destined for greatness. Earlier Ruby came to breakfast with cookies from her coven which got me thinking what if we come from the same coven, we do have similar powers. I went to the library and instead of finding out if Ruby and I come from the same coven I found out something bad. Witches like the two of us are rare and we should never meet. What if that witch wants to restore balance? And to do that she has to make us merge." I utter the last word barely above a whisper.
The merge
My sisters were able to survive it by both linking themselves to Hope. It was the same spell aunt Elena's biological dad used to save her life. Since Hope has a vampire gene once Lizzie lost, Lizzie came back to life as Hope became a full trihybrid.
I don't think we can do that again.
I don't want to die.
"Luna don't you think you are jumping to conclusions. Nobody knows this snake lady so for all we know she can be lying to us."
Professor Alaric walks up to me and puts his hands on my shoulders.
"Luna you are safe here. If you wouldn't be, your parents and I would not have come to the conclusion to allow to finish your school year. There is nothing to worry about."

It's been a week since I burst into the headmasters office. Since then it's been quiet, well as quiet as it can be with the big football game coming up on Saturday and senior activities in full swing. Yesterday the seniors pulled the traditional April fools prank and covered the floors with bubble wrap.
We may be supernatural,but we are still teenagers at heart!
"Guess who?" a manly voice says behind me as two big hands cover my eyes.
"Oh Elliot how did you find me."
"Excuse me," Noah growls,
I turn around and peck his  lips.
"Noah I knew it was you all along. No need to get jealous."
"Luna you are the hottest girl at this school. Any guy would kill to be in my position. I know how lucky I am."
Noah leans down and kisses me passionately on the lips. As we come up for air a cold wind blows by and a shiver runs down my spine.
Noah wraps me into his arms as I turn around and watch the sunset. The sky is a beautiful pink cotton candy colour. I inhale Noah's familiar scent a mix of mint after shave and his favorite Giorgio Armani perfume. I can stay like this forever.
"Luna, a monster has Stefanie and Ruby," Scott says breaking my peaceful bubble.
"What?? Where??"
I jump out of Noah's arms ready for battle.
Scott hands me a piece of paper.
Now that I have what you want
You will give me what I want
Baby mikaelson
"Where did you find this?" I ask Scott.
"It was on your bed when I went to pick up Stefanie for our date. I quickly searched for Stefanie everywhere and it lead me to the woods. There is a cave down there and I saw Stefanie and Ruby chained up. But I couldn't enter because that stupid witch put a barrier spell. And she asked for you."
"It's a trap I can tell. Luna don't go," Noah says grabbing my hand.
"Trap or no trap they have Stefanie and Ruby. I'm going," I say pulling my hand away from Noah and following Scott.

Scott leads me to the mouth of the cave,
"They are in there. I'll lead you until I can. After that you are on your own. Sorry"
"It's okay. I'll be fine"
"Luna be careful." Noah says kissing me on the top of my head.
"I'll see you in a bit with both girls and a dead monster."
I smile at him.
I turn around and follow Scott into the cave. It's damp and dark as we continue down the cave. I bump into Scott as I'm trying to turn on my phone light.
"I can't go past here, but I can hear three heartbeats and I can see that nothing has changed since I've been here last."
"See them??"
I squint trying to make out three shadows.
"I'll be here if you need anything."
Scott says as I step into the barrier.
I quietly make my way down to my friends.
"No need to hide little witch. I've been waiting for you," a feminine voice says.
The figure turns around and brings down her red hood.
"Quinn?" I gasp.
Right in front of me is my aunt Davina's right hand woman. My cousin Maddy's godmother. A witch my family and I trusted.
Quinn raises her hands and I'm thrown across the wall. Trapped by an invisible force.
"Quinn why are you doing this?" I wince as I feel the after effect of her actions.
"I'm just following orders. Didn't your aunts teach you that you can never refuse an order from the coven leader."
Aunt Davina would never tell Quinn to capture me and my friends.
"Who are you working for Quinn?"
"That would be moi." A male voice says stepping out of the shadows.
Francois
"It's nice seeing you again Luna. How's it going trying to find the parents who clearly never wanted you in the first. I guess being a mikaelson isn't as great as it seems."
I try to move but I'm pulled back by the magical bounds wrapped around my arms.
"Is this some type of pay back to my aunt Davina. You know that you will have to answer to my father now, Klaus Mikaelson. Trust me my aunt Davina is a lot nicer to deal with then with my father."
"Oh I don't care about that stupid little war in New Orleans. I'm looking at the bigger picture, where witches rule the world. We would never have to hide our powers again to protect those stupid humans."
"What does this have to do with me or my friends?" I nudge my head in the direction of Stefanie and Ruby.
Both are tied up, but don't seem to be in any pain.
"I'm glad you asked ma belle. You and that witch over there." He points to Ruby. "Are the only two living witch elements in over a century. The two of you together can give me the power I need to take over the world."
