She hates feeling like this.
Out of control.
As if she stepped on a roundabout and the person that pushed her hasn't stopped.
Won't stop as if the thought of letting her off never came to their mind. No matter how loud she screams, that she has had enough. That she can't continue on like this. That she was not made for a life like this.
The pushing doesn't stop. The spinning doesn't stop no matter how hard she squeezes her eyes shut. Or grip the bars until her knuckles turn pale. No matter how hard she grinds her teeth or bites her tongue until she tastes the faintest taste of her own blood.
It doesn't stop. And she knows without a doubt that the spinning is only going to get faster.
...
She's been undead for a week now.
Or at least she think it's been a week. Aurora doesn't let her of her box shaped apartment for her to explore. The windows are shut with thick metal shades for curtains. She can't tell if day has turned into night. Or where she could possibly be. Most of her is glad for this.
That Aurora isn't parading her around and shoving her vampirism in Klaus's face. That she can hide her new being as long as Aurora has allowed her too.
She can't physically see the sun rise but she can hear the sound of a roosters crow. Can hear the sounds of the wolves howl. She can feel the temperature drop or rise if she really focuses on it.
That's one thing, Cami has gotten use to, the heightened senses. The enhance eyesight, the enlarge sense of smell, the bat like hearing. The sensitive touch against the pads of her fingertips. The widen sense of taste.
All five senses she's uses when she talks to Davina.
Aurora keeps Davina as leverage, over Marcel and the others. Or at least that what she said, when Cami refuses to take a bite out of Davina's neck.
Cami thinks Davina is here to be use as a stepping stone. A stepping stone into the monster Aurora wants her to become. She realizes this hours after Aurora has force feed her blood from a bag.
She remembers the burn in her veins as Aurora stood over her swinging the bag back and forth. Drops of blood hitting Cami in the face, from Aurora poking a hole into it. She had a wicked smile as she talk about how vampirism was the best thing for her, to start over new become better. She talked about giving into dark desires. Like stabbing someone with a shard from a beer bottle until their guts spilled out.
About how she had done that once back in the 50s and what a enthralling time she had. She tells her this while blood from the bag spills against her cheek, the bridge of her nose, her chapped lips.
Each drop making Cami's resolve disappear inch by inch.
It wasn't until her third story about dicing and slicing that Cami realize she had grabbed the blood bag. And was actively sucking it dry. It was the vengeful smirk on Aurora's lips that give her away. Cami realized that smirk wasn't meant for joy she got retelling the story. But of Cami's submission.
When she realized what she had done, she toss away the now empty bag as if it had betrayed her. Opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain herself, but Aurora closes the top of the coffin before she could.
She had felt like screaming, at herself, at Aurora, at anybody who had ears. She felt like scolding herself as if she was a child and she knew better. She had when she was mortal. To resist temptation from the devil. Her uncle preached about the evil doings that this world had to offer. And like a child with a sweet tooth she took the tainted candy.
She would like to blame her taking the candy so easily on the fact she was now a monster. A monster that feed on the blood of others. But she knows that's not true. She knows that long before she met Aurora or Klaus that she had put the candy into her mouth and sucked hard.
It was the screaming of a tortured Davina that retrieved Cami out of her mindset. Cami opened the top of the coffin and was running towards the sound before she knew it.
That's how she found out what Davina was actually here for.
She had stopped in her tracks, at the sight of Davina. Sitting inside of a glass box. Neck exposed and bleeding. Hands cuffed by the hand cuffed they used on Vincent once. When they had been trying to trap Finn. Cami remembers what the handcuffs did. They took away a witch's power to do magic.
She remembers how helpless Finn had seemed in that moment. But it was nothing compared to how Davina looked. Paler than normal, breathing heavy, and sweat glistening on her forehead.
Cami had ran as fast as she could to the girl, only to hit an invisible force shield that knocked her back a couple feet. She had tried again and again, each time the force shield knocking her back even farther.
Davina had told her it was no use and for her to stop trying. Aurora told her the same thing when she arrived seconds later. Dressed in formal black gown and ankle boots. She wore makeup to highlight her features, like lipstick painted red on her thin lipped mouth. And eyeliner to enhance the nefarious look in her blue eyes.
She had told them she was going out to celebrate Cami's death and she'd be back.
That night, Cami tried to escape, but didn't even make past the front door before she was ambush. There were four vampires guarding the front door and the back. She had tried fighting her way out. But as a vampire who was literally born hours ago, she didn't stand a chance against them.
With the door block and the windows metal shut, the only exits Cami could see, she took to scheming up a way to get out. Or convince Aurora to let her go. That Aurora had proved her point and that she had taken everything from Klaus. That Klaus would now see clear about the darkness that was Cami, she had turned her into one of them. A monster who needs to feed off of blood to survive, how worse would she become.
She had prepared an entire speech, one that would take away Cami's dignity for the moment. But it would have been all worth it if she could go and get help for Davina.
But Cami has heard at least four wolves howls and five rooster crows since then and there wasn't a sign of Aurora.
And Davina was looking weaker by the second. Cami can tell not just from the physical appearance, but from the sound of Davina's pulse. Cami been listening to it sometimes on purpose others time not. She can't exactly help herself. She hasn't eaten anything since that one blood bag Aurora gave to her days ago.
She's starved.
And the sound of Davina's pulse isn't helping her crave cease.
She sometimes catches herself looking at the dried up blood on Davina's neck. At the pulse point beating under the teenage girl's pasty skin while she sleeps.
She hates herself for the thoughts she has when she looks at it.
Instead of focusing on the dried up blood or the pulse she decides to talk to her. Plan a way to get out of here, with no daylight ring or enough vampire strength to over take four armed guards. They talk and talk until Cami hears another wolf howl.
But it doesn't stop her from listening to the faint pulse in Davina's neck. Or how she can't wait to to sink her fangs into it.
...
When Aurora does return, Davina is barely breathing and Cami isn't too far behind her. She's dressed in a different outfit from the last time Cami seen her. With shopping bags and a glow to her pale skin.
She looks more alive then she actually is, more alive then Cami feels.
"I'm home darlings. Did you me miss?" She asks, smiling at Cami and Davina, who frown in response.
"What's with the pouty faces? You keep frowning at me and I won't give you the presents I brought?" She sangs, holding the shopping bags in her hand. One hand extended towards Cami and the other towards Davina.
She smiles at them both, a smile that causes Cami stomach to turn.
Aurora nods towards two vampire bodyguards, who walks over to Davina's glass cage. They walk in and pull her out without the force field knocking them back. Like it had with Cami.
The bodyguards drag a weaken and defenseless Davina towards them.
Aurora smiles at them as if they committed the best sin there was.
"But first, dear sweet innocent Cami." She mocks, dropping the shopping bags onto a nearby sofa. "I need you to do something for me." She adds, circling around Davina like a hawk before it attacks it's prey.
Cami raises her chin, readying herself for whatever torture Aurora was going to throw her way.
Aurora presses a manicure finger into the bleeding wound in Davina's neck. Davina hisses out in pain, as Aurora eyes turn black. It takes everything in Cami not to rush towards the girl and tear her away from Aurora.
"I need you to sit there." She instructs, eyes set on Cami and finger still lodge into Davina's neck, she nods to the sofa, waiting. Cami takes a sit, eyes still trained on the pain stricken face of Davina.
"You're going to sit there, and Davina is going to sit here." She says pushing Davina down onto the sofa next to Cami.
Aurora stands over Cami, smiling. The same smile that makes Cami stomach turn. Aurora takes the finger that was press into Davina's wound moments ago and waves it in front of Cami's face.
Cami's eyes follow the sight of blood, before she registers she's doing it. Her mouth opens in the slightest and Aurora's smiles like Cheshire cat.
"You ever taste witches blood?" She asks, still waving her finger back and forth, not looking for an answer. "It's the most divine thing." She whispers, like it's a cherished secret.
Cami watches as Aurora brings her bloody finger to her mouth and licks her fingers. She hums like the blood is the tastiest dessert she's ever had and Cami can feel her veins burn.
"Let's play a game, shall we? If you can guess Davina's blood type, I won't have one of my bodyguards kill her and put her out of her misery."
"Why are you doing this?" Cami asks. "You've already turned me into a monster. You've gotten your revenge on Klaus. Let Davina go she has nothing to do with this." Cami pleas.
"Is that your final answer?" She asks.
Cami sighs in response, "AB negative."She guesses.
Aurora stays silent for a moment before she sighs, "Oh, so close! but it's positive. You lose. Go ahead and kill her." Aurora orders.
"Wait! Wait! Don't! Give me another question!" Cami peas, quickly standing up from the sofa and standing in front of Davina.
"Oh, but the game is over Cami. Take your lost like a vampire." Aurora scolds.
"Please!" She begs as the bodyguards creep closer to the defenseless witch.
Aurora rolls her eyes, "There is one thing you can do that will save the young witches life." She tell her, walking over to the shopping bag and grabbing something out of it.
Aurora throws the item towards Cami, and she catches it easily.
"Put this on and don't make me wait long." She orders and Cami rushes to the bathroom and back in record time.
"Good, now this." She hands Cami a black leather jacket. "Alright let's go."
"Where are we going?" Cami asks as pulls her hair from underneath her jacket and adjusts it around her frame.
"Out."
