Chapter 1. Darkness
Emptiness. loneliness. That's what the other side feels like. The only thing she could do was watch as the people she cared about being torn apart. Not physically of course. Marcel had become the beast in response to Davina's death, for revenge. When was the war with the Original family ever going to end? Now, she couldn't help anyone. She was dead. Lucien Castle - the person who made it happen killed her.
Why? The answer was simple, to weaken Klaus. To take one of the people he cared for, possibly grow to love away from him. Was there another reason? Perhaps he still held a grudge against Klaus because Aurora never returned his affections. It didn't make sense to Cami why Klaus fell for her either. However, she was certain he wasn't thinking about her now as he was imprisoned. Marcel was the strongest. How would the Originals defeat him without killing him? She doubted the hybrid would want to, he was his friend. Oh, yes. Niklaus Mikaelson was a walking contradiction - he'd struggle with the idea of murdering him yet he would love nothing more.
Power was the reason everything bad happened. Well, power and betrayal. After standing by his friend and his siblings, Marcel had been broken. She felt it too. They had a close bond with Davina Claire. She was almost like the younger sister she didn't have. Ever since that moment she'd been looking for someone, anyone to interact with. She would be lying if she said she hadn't hoped to see her brother Sean or her uncle Kieran. Had they moved on?
It made her think. How many parts of the other side were there? There must have been more as she was alone. Where was Davina? Finn? And she watched Lucien die. Where did he go? If he was nearby he would make his presence known to her. Obviously she wasn't waiting for him and to be honest she was glad he wasn't with her. He probably felt the same. There was no doubt in her mind that he was somewhere, his death proved he wouldn't find peace. He had a small victory over Klaus and his siblings - that wasn't what he wanted.
A sigh escaped Cami's lips as she leaned against the stone wall and closed her eyes. This was the place she'd be spending her time until she could find peace which wasn't likely since her friends were always in danger.
A strange light shone in the distance and she curiously walked towards it. What could it be? She thought as she reached out then everything went dark. The next thing she knew she was standing in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This was a dream. A dream that felt...real? What was this? She looked around in awe, listening to the loud jazz music and the people who passed by. "Cami?" She was suddenly distracted as she heard a familiar voice. Jamie. She'd worked with him at Rousseau's. "I thought you were dead." Wait, why would she dream about this?
Cami shook her head, unable to answer him. "Excuse me, Jamie." She said slowly and turned from him walking to the compound, the Mikaelson home. As she walked inside there was an eerie feeling, she glanced up at the balcony noticing Marcel argue with two men and she could have sworn she heard the word "guards" This wasn't making any sense. Somehow she was drawn to the dungeon beneath the compound. It was where she'd been watching Marcel torture Klaus. She peered into the room, gasping when she realised he was there. No, this wasn't a fantasy. This was real.
She unlocked the door with the key and rushed over. "Klaus." She swallowed gazing at him. Klaus opened his eyes and smiled. "Using the door are we now, Camille?" He didn't look surprised to see her at all. In fact it sounded as though he'd seen her before - that was impossible. "I have to get you out of here." She said trying to get closer but there was something stopping her. It was a magic barrier. The hybrid chuckled. "Well this is certainly not what I expected. I'm taking my punishment, love. I assumed you'd be proud of me." He added with a smirk which made Cami frown.
"Nevertheless it is wonderful to see you again." Again? "You're hallucinating. " She muttered, mostly to herself. She placed her hand against the barrier. "Klaus, you have to listen. I don't know how but this isn't your imagination. I'm here." He wasn't, in fact he seemed to find her reaction amusing. Then the door opened abruptly, Marcel standing tall and smirking over at the Original until his eyes flickered to Cami. "No." He said in disbelief, staring at her as if he was waiting for her to disappear. "You see her too? This is rather odd." Niklaus said furrowing his brows.
