She was cooking herself a meal. She wasn't starving but cooking helps, Sean used to say. She wanted nothing more than the company of her long lost brother who could cheer her up just with his presence alone.
She got bitten, by none other than Klaus, whom she thought would never hurt her. Not even when he's enraged. But then he got into her mind showing his true intentions. She understood the reason but doesn't mean she liked it or she's happy with it. And then having to pull out the Papa Tunde's knife out of hurting Elijah's chest. She still isn't comfortable with the sight of blood and having her hands inside anybody's body for that matter. She preferred to poke minds. She is going to be a psychiatrist not a surgeon.

If it were up to her, she would burn the damn weapon. It seems a like bad penny returning at every chance it gets. And to deal with his yelling. Fortunately it didn't take much to convince him, she was already running low on patience these days.

She had helped the Mikaelsons to the fullest. As far as she was concerned she did everything she could do, she was proud of herself or was she? Sometimes she really wondered why does she? Is it because of the loneliness or is she terribly free to help all the waywards. Wayward, that's one word to describe these supernaturals. No, she isn't free but she isn't obligated either. .
"It's for Hope", she tells herself. But she is lying, that is not the only reason. She has been called out upon this almost everyone. Marcel, Finn and Elijah.

She told herself not to dwell onto it and get on with her life. She understands now more than ever why her uncle wanted her to get away while she can. This city sucks you in, whether you like it or not.

She needs a purpose. A renewed one, perhaps.

On the other side of the town, Mikaelsons together defeated Dahlia, saved precious infant Hope and their elder sister Freya free from her sleeping curse. It was time for celebration for them, Klaus. Everyone lost something during this battle against Dahlia except him. He couldn't be happier but he knew it came at a cost he was unwilling to pay. But he had to, he reminded himself. Doesn't mean he didn't have to apologize for what he did to his brave bartender. Moments before he bit her, she told him she trusted him and he broke it. He was literally hoping that she will understand and he'll do whatever he can to make it up to her. Shortly after handing Hope to Rebekah, he fled to Cami's apartment.

She was going to enjoy her meal with an entire bottle of bourbon. She had talked to Davina. She wasn't truly happy with Davina leading the nine covens. She's still a teenager who gets ripped away from the chance from a normal chance at life every time. Maybe it's for the best.

Just then she heard strong winds making her windows drumming. She just goes to close them and there it is Klaus Mikaelson in flesh and blood standing few feet away.

He says" I came here to inform you that Dahlia will no longer be a threat to Hope or to anyone in this city ever again
She replies to him with small smile" Congratulations." She takes a breath and continues." Thanks for informing me at this late hour but if you don't mind I need to sleep".

As if completely ignoring her she said, he continues" I owe you an apology for earlier"

But she cuts him "All is forgiven, Klaus".

His eyebrows rose in surprise and he comes closer"Really? Just like that."

"Yes. I understand you did what you had to do."

He felt somewhat relieved but not fully convinced, he steps even closer to touch her, to comfort her or to comfort himself, to know that she is fine.

"I see your wound is healed"

"Elijah gave me his blood" Though she was giving him the answers to his queries, her demeanor was cold.

Just as he raised his hand to see for it himself, she holds his hands. What was he thinking; she wouldn't forgive him easily for hurting her. Didn't he promise her not long ago to kill Mikael just for hurting her.

"You say you understand that I never had the intention to hurt you, love. As I remember correctly you told me that I needed you. You couldn't be more right.

"More than understand it. But"

"But what?"

"I need a break, Klaus."

"Break from what?"

"You"

"You don't understand, do you? You killed several humans to fool Dahlia, compelled Gia to burn herself in front of Elijah. Especially after what he went through with your mother's torture and Hayley's wedding.

You compelled Marcel to kill Rebekah if she tries to leave the compound.

You cursed Hayley and her pack with being wolf for an entire month except on a full moon. The mother of your child, Klaus"

He opened his mouth to say something but she wasn't even close to finish
"Don't try to deny that it wasn't act of revenge in respect to them daggering you. That was you being cruel to your extreme"

"I had to do to protect my daughter" with a face she wasn't able to comprehend

"You're saying as if you didn't know what kind of monster I am in the first place."

"Maybe finally I'm seeing the true Klaus that will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Who doesn't flinch taking the lives of innocent in the way "

"You're right. But I can change. I'm willing to change my ways now that my daughter is safe. Things will be better." He reached again to touch her. It infuriated him to no ends that she wouldn't allow him

"You're wrong. Things have gotten worse. I don't blame you. I guess this is what is normal for Original Hybrid and will always be the same. There'll always be some threat."

"So what are you implying? "

"We can't be friends anymore" It was like being slapped to him

"But I need you" he tried to reason with her

"I need my sanity , my life ,Klaus."

"So you've finally decided to leave?" He wasn't happy but maybe it's good for had been more than trying to make her leave this city

"No. I've decided to lead the human faction just like my Uncle did."

He grabbed her shoulders "No. You can't do this. You'll always be the target of someone" He hasn't forgotten that terrible death of the priest.

" I can and I will. You don't own me. From now on human lives will be of same importance as of yours, other vampires and witches in this city. And for the record I have always been the target .It's my family's legacy, Klaus. It's time I embrace it fully"

Klaus knows when he's defeated. His hands drop from her shoulders.

"Goodbye Klaus. Until we meet again at the table for the factions."

"I'll make it up to if it's the last thing I do."

Klaus taking a last long look of her sped away in the dark where he came from. And Cami released a sigh and closed her eyes releasing the tears that had developed during the talk

Congratulations for making it to the end. Thank you for taking the time to read
