MOONS.
045. | ❛ those demons won't control him. ❜

The jazz band starts to play again at Cami's wake, mourners are gathered inside and Luna approaches towards the kitchen where workers are scattered.

"Okay, we can't run out of whiskey at an Irish wake, it's like the one rule, okay? Whiskey is important."
Luna turns around as Elijah approaches

"Whiskey is important. I'm certain Camille would have appreciated all of this."

"I hope so." Luna says while taking a sight of Klaus nearby stood silently beside Camille's coffin.

"How is he?" Elijah asked

Luna looks at Klaus once more with a sigh, "He's dealing with it, slowly. You can't rush it. Klaus wasn't always the one with express his emotions well. Everything with Davina and Cami-"

"And you." Elijah adds on which causes Luna to look at him with a confused look

"He almost lost you, Luna. He isn't so keen on showing his emotions but Klaus cares deeply for you. Had he lost you, he would be-"

"A monster." Luna finishes the word for him.

"Elijah, he might have his demons but those demons won't control him. I won't let them."

Freya is hunched over a table attempting to read the Prophecy when Luna and Elijah approach from behind.

"Anything?" Luna asked

"There's too many pieces. Everytime I get close to seeing something, it just fades away."

Luna rests a hand on her shoulder briefly, although she suddenly gasps as a vision flashes through her mind.

Voices echo as a painting of Klaus drips with blood and a Grimoire is open with an unknown spell written across. A shadowed figure hunched over stands and the shadow is revealed to be Marcel as The Beast, fangs elongated and dripping with blood.

Freya gasps when the vision fades and Luna removes her hand, both looking somewhat shocked.

Elijah looks surprised at both of them as Luna walks around to the other side of the table and holds out her hand for Freya to take.

"Finish it."

As Freya takes her hand, she gasps as several flashes in the vision is shown as Freya's words "You will all fall, one by friend, one by foe and one by family" is spoken quietly throughout; Marcel standing upon a lit bridge at nightfall; Elijah looking weakened with a bite wound upon his arm; a bloody-faced Hayley stood looking into a mirror with Hope in her arms; Klaus being held down in the Abbatoir as Marcel plunges an object into his chest; Elijah and Marcel clinking glasses in Marcel's loft; Marcel plunging a stake into Elijah's back; the rolling shot of several closed coffins.

Luna and Freya gasp as the vision fades, both sharing a look of panic over what they saw. Both are quickly advancing down the stairs of the Compound.

"What just happened?" Elijah asked them

"What the hell did I just see?" Luna ignores Elijah's question asking Freya.

"Vincent told me he found a way to extract the serum from Aurora, I was busy at the time but if Vincent did steal the serum... If he.. gave it to Marcel."

"We're in trouble."

"Yeah."

"The serum... there's no trace of it in her. We need to warn Klaus." Luna says pacing worriedly

"He's not answering."

"Elijah, the power I stole from the Ancestors, it was enough to deal with Lucien, but that power's faded. If Marcel takes that serum and becomes the beast foretold in the prophecy, I won't be able to stop him." Freya speaks only causing more worried in Luna's heart.

"Locate Niklaus. I'll find Marcel."

After a bloody encounter with Marcel, Elijah killed Marcel with Klaus being left alone in his room.

Klaus stands out on the balcony overlooking the city street as Luna joins him.

"I assume Elijah told you. So you understand why I'd prefer to be alone."

"He's hurting too, Klaus, more than you know."

"And had it been my heart would you still defend him?"

"Don't use yourself."

"Marcel was a son to me."

"Freya showed me what Elijah saw. The prophecies haven't been wrong once."

Klaus scoffs and turns away with Luna following behind him.

"Klaus after everything that you have done, all the people that you've threatened, tortured, killed, all the pain that you have put him through, he has always forgiven you. You have to forgive him."
