Cami woke up the next morning and looked around. Rebekah's room is very girly and well...fancy. Everything had a place. She had antique glass perfume bottles over her vanity, gold embroidered pillows covering her bench and bed, silhouettes covering the walls, and designer labels in her closet. Cami climbed out of bed and quickly dressed. When she stepped into the kitchen Stefan was already awake and cooking breakfast. He smiled.
"Hey how did you sleep?"
She shrugged and turned on the stove to warm the tea kettle. "Rebekah's bedroom smells like a perfume shop."
He chuckled. "Well Elijah has all of his suits color coded."
"That doesn't surprise me."
She poured herself a cup of herbal tea and then sat down at the kitchen counter. She looked around.
"It's weird being here without them."
He nodded. "Klaus always seemed the most at ease here."
"It's his favorite place."
Stefan passed her a plate of eggs benedict, hashbrowns and toast. She cocked her brow.
"Vampires can cook?"
He rolled his eyes. "Just eat."
A few minutes later Elena and Damon came in and joined them. Damon looked at her.
"This place is actually...comfortable."
Cami nodded and looked around at the familiar home. The light jewel color tones, the antique furniture, the courtyard fountain, the leather sofas, the ivy climbing up the walls. It was all familiar. More familiar then Mystic Falls would ever be. As soon as they finished they got started looking for the Mikaelson's. Cami had a few places in mind to start. They spent two days checking them out and nothing. Cami was starting to loose hope. She finally reached out for help. She walked into the cemetery and found Vincent.
"Hey."
He smiled. "Miss. Cami."
He hugged her tight and led her over to a bench.
"So what can I do for you?"
"I need you to do a locator spell. I need to find Klaus."
He nodded. "I need blood of his or a relative."
Cami pulled a dagger out of her jacket pocket and looked at him. "Where do you want it?"
He cocked his brow. "Huh?"
"These babies are Klaus's. They share his blood."
He hid his shock well. "Umm okay...here."
He pulled out a map and laid it on the ground. Cami sliced her palm and let the blood drip onto the map. Vincent started chanting and the blood started to move. After a few minutes he stopped.
"The exact location is blocked but the general area is not."
He showed her the map and she recognized the place. "Mikael took me there. There is a huge warehouse about a mile away."
He nodded. "Well I think it's safe to say they're their."
Cami nodded and took the map. Vincent spoke as she went to leave.
"Cami be careful...this could be a trap."
Cami nodded. "I know."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Damon led the way towards the warehouse. He looked back at the others.
"So what's the plan?"
Elena shrugged. "We grab them and get out."
"And if Esther is there? Or Mikael?"
Cami spoke harshly. "We kill them."
Damon gawked at her. "Are you crazy?! It took Klaus and Elijah to kill them the last time. Plus a few witches."
Cami rolled her eyes. "We have a couple witches."
"They're not going to do us much good in your uterus."
The closer they got to the warehouse, the more nervous Cami got. But she didn't want to show it. When they finally entered they found what they were looking for. The originals including Hayley and Marcel, were laid out over a pentagram asleep. They each had a pentagram on their foreheads. Cami tried to enter the circle enclosing the pentagram and was thrown backwards. Damon looked at the circle.
"Okay any ideas?"
Elena was pacing. "I usually call Bonnie for this sort of thing."
Cami stood and walked over. "It's different and unique to every witch. Like a secret recipe."
Stefan nodded. "So what do we need?"
"A more potent ingredient then an original."
Elena sighed. "Great."
Damon and Stefan both caught on. Damon spoke.
"Like the blood of a tribrid."
She nodded and offered Stefan her hand. He sliced it with a piece of broken glass. Cami dripped the blood around the circle. They watched as it bubbled and then disappeared. Damon hesitated before taking the first step inside. He leaned over Kol and slapped his face a few times.
"Man they're out cold."
Elena looked over Freya. "What do we do now?"
Cami thought about what Klaus would do. She leaned over him and started letting him drink her blood. After the first few drops touched his lips, he opened his eyes and drank on his own. He then looked at her stunned.
"Cami?"
She pushed him back down. "You're still weak. Let me help the others."
He looked at Elijah asleep next to him and nodded. One by one they all drank and one by one they all woke. After a few minutes they could all stand. Rebekah was the first to notice Cami's extended abdomen.
"Nik filled us in but he didn't tell us about this."
Damon rolled his eyes. "Can we please do this later."
Elena led the way outside. They were halfway home when she finally said something.
"That was too easy."
Damon looked at her. "None of this was easy! Months of tracking! Then we had to get a witch to do a very complicated locator spell, then we had to walk out into the muddy bayou to find their asses."
She shrugged. "It's just a feeling." She looked at Elijah. "Who held you anyways?"
"Mother."
Cami stopped in her tracks and looked at him stunned. "You remember?"
He smiled and nodded. "The minute Marcel was brought in. It all came back."
Klaus cracked a small smile. "It's nice not to have to explain things fifty times."
When they were back at the compound Stefan handed them each blood bags. After a few minutes their color was back. Cami stepped into the kitchen and grabbed her cell phone. She dialed and waited. Bonnie answered on the second ring.
"Yes they are all alive and are in one piece. They have been fed and all of them have taken showers. Two are in bed and Hope is saying goodnight to Ethan on the front porch and I intend to interrupt them in a few minutes."
Cami smiled. "I just wanted to let you know that we got them. I don't know when we'll be back but..."
"Cami that's great...Hold on Hope wants to talk to you."
Cami heard the phone exchange hands and then Hope's voice rang through.
"Hey Mom."
"Hey Princess, everything okay there."
"Yeah. Kova's been playing the I can't sleep in my own bed game but other then that."
"Good. Well I don't know when i'll be home just yet."
"That's fine. Take your time. Um is it okay if Ethan and I go out tomorrow night? I promise i'll be home by curfew."
Cami had started walking back into the courtyard where the other's were. She sighed.
"Yeah that's fine but be home early. I don't want Bonnie chasing after you. Or Caroline for that matter."
"I promise. I love you."
"I love you too. Goodnight."
She hung up and sat down. Stefan looked at everyone.
"Why would Esther take all of them and then perform a freaky ritual on all of them?"
Elena shrugged. "She could have been linking all of them again."
Cami shook her head. "It reminds me of Papa Tunde. He drew power from Rebekah to make himself stronger."
Freya sighed. "Can we worry about it later? I am exhausted. Not to mention starving."
Stefan smiled. "Already called in some orders of gumbo. Should be here..." The doorbell rang and he smiled. "Now."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Only Freya wanted to sleep. Cami stayed in Rebekah's room once again. Klaus hadn't said anything to her. Mainly due to the fact he was drinking a blood bag an hour and still looked pretty rough. When she woke up the next morning she walked downstairs and found Stefan and Elijah cooking. She started making her tea once again when Elena walked in followed by Hayley and Rebekah. She plopped down at the counter and looked at Stefan.
"So I vote we head back this afternoon. I don't want to stay anywhere that Esther is longer then we have to."
He nodded as he turned over some bacon. "But she could be headed back there already. If she knows that we are onto her."
Cami shuddered and he threw her an apologetic look.
"Sorry."
She shrugged. "It's the truth."
Elijah looked at her. "We'll have to stay somewhere outside of Mystic Falls."
Cami looked at him confused. "Why?"
"Because the moment we are reunited with Hope, The Hallow will be unleashed."
Freya walked in and spoke. "I am not so sure of that. Remember when Mother started that chanting and then all of us passed out aside from Hayley?"
They all nodded.
"What if she got rid of the Hallow?"
Klaus entered the room with Damon, Kol and Marcel. "Well I am not willing to risk my daughter to find out."
Hayley looked at him. "Well where would you like to go?"
Damon chuckled. "Easy. The most expensive foreclosure just outside of town."
Klaus smiled a little and sat down. Once everyone had breakfast Cami went upstairs and packed her duffle. Damon walked into the room and spoke.
"Cars are packed. You are going to go with Stefan home while Elena and I guide the others to a house to stay at."
Cami nodded and followed him downstairs. She saw everyone except Klaus. She found him in the library. He was staring at the portraits on the wall. She spoke to him quietly.
"Are you coming home? Just for a few days."
He didn't look away as he spoke. "I need to stay with my family."
She sighed. "We're your family too. And the kids need you."
"Do you not remember the deal we made with my mother? I can not return to Mystic Falls. I can not be around my own children. Although I suppose that I already am."
She looked at him questionably. He turned and motioned to her swollen belly.
"When did that happen?"
"16 weeks ago."
He nodded. She then spoke quietly.
"Reagan...he triggered his werewolf gene."
Klaus gave her his full attention. "What?! Is he okay?"
She shrugged. "He won't talk to me about it. He didn't mean to...but he is a tribrid so he is able to control himself."
Klaus sighed and gripped the back of a chair. "He must be scared...and confused."
She nodded. "Stefan and Damon have been helping him but they don't understand it fully."
Before Klaus could say anymore Freya poked her head into the room.
"Time to go."
