Thank you everyone for all the lovely reviews. Because of you guys, i'm always so happy to right have bunches of free time and an excited to dedicate it towards writing. As alway I don't own anything and it all goes to the writers of The Originals. Please review and thank you for reading. Enjoy!
Cami POV
I finish listening to the voicemail which held a conversation between Elijah and Klaus. This had confirmed everything. I meant something to Klaus and he was not shy to say so. I feel my heart pounding, trying to breathe. Now I sit and wonder, what had happened to Hope. Had the precious child been put in danger. My hands shake as I take out my phone. I slowly dial his number. It immediately goes to voicemail. I do not leave a message. Something must have gone terribly wrong.
I change into comfortable clothing and pack a small backpack. I heard towards the cemetery hoping that I am not too late.
When I reach the location, I can hear Davina chanting a spell. I wait on the edge for it to be over before i approach them. When I turn the corner, I see Hayley standing there in human form. I whip back around the corner going unnoticed. How was that possible? She was the only one back in her true form. How strong had Davina gotten since I last saw her. I panic. As on cue, my phone starts to vibrate and I quickly shut the sound of afraid of being heard. I look at the name that had popped up. Marcel.
I rush away from the scene trying to get signal when I hear crying coming from where Davina and Hayley had just been. Had Hayley taken Hope back? Impossible. I don't push my luck and I keep walking. Marcel would not have called me if it weren't important. I get just far enough away and I call him back.
"Marcel?" I ask after I hear the click that he had picked up the phone.
"Cami where are you? I've been looking everywhere for you. Something horrible has happened." Marcel has never sounded more terrified.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"Hayley and her pack attacked Freya and Hope this evening and reclaimed Hope. We've lost all track of them." I suck in the cold air around me.
"Marcel, come to the cemetery this instant. Hayley was just here in human form with Hope." I say so quickly I'm not sure if a sentence was even formed.
"Get out of their Cami. If the werewolves and witches are working together you are already in danger." I hear the urgency in his voice and debate on staying. Hope can't be farther than 50 feet away, if I could just...
"Camille? What are you doing here?" I spin around to face Vincent.
"I.. I.. was..." I am far too scared and tired to even think of a lie He catches my fright and is planning to use it against me.
"If I remember correctly, you said you wanted to stay out of everything. How is it that after two weeks of not coming to visit Davina and I you show up the second Hope goes missing?" He asks using a calming voice. I can hear the hidden sarcasm and I know that I am in danger. Why had I thought having the two strongest witches, beside Freya, team up together. What were they planning on doing with Klaus's blood? They were using it to kill him, no matter what Davina promised. I know deep down, she'd rather kill a Mikaelson than keep our mundane vocal promise. Vincent slowly steps closer to me. My hand shoots straight to my bag. Where was my taser? Would it even matter?
Suddenly, a blur comes out of nowhere and Vincent is tackled to the ground. Marcel was holding him down and the rest of his vampire clan was surrounding him.
"Cami, leave like I told you. Warn Klaus and the others, We'll take it from here." I don't have to hear that twice. I start running. Towards what? I'm not sure, but anywhere was better than there. I decide on the Mikaelson compound wishing not all of them were gone just yet. When I arrive, everything is so quiet. I approach the gate, with my taser in hand. I turn back once more before entering. My biggest mistake. Yellow eyes appear in the darkness and I can feel my heart stop. Growls start to sound from all around me. I'm scared and flustered. I start to yell hoping a Mikaelson will hear me.
"Klaus? Elijah? Freya?" I shout backing up into the gate. And that's when they pounce. My taser shocks a few but nothing stops them. A lighting of pain shoots down my arm as crawls dig deeply into it. That causes me to drop my taser leaving me vulnerable. "Help!" I scream pushing my way into the compound. A wolf grabs my ankle and pulls me to the ground. I look back and pull, crawling and pushing on the ground.
In a flash, the wolves are gone and the pressure as been lifted. I shield my face making sure its all over. I look up into the face of Freya Mikaelson. She tattered and looks as bad as I feel.
"Camille what are you doing here?" She absolutely stunned trying to help me up. I'm not sure when the spell had broken. I had yelled their names to make them know it's me. Nonetheless I know it is no longer intact and am again just Cami. She yanks on my wounded arm and I yelp out. She gives me an apologetic look and I'm finally on my feet.
"Hayley... Hayley is in her human form and has Hope. She is working with the witches. Marcel is at the cemetery right now. They need help, the wolves are getting away. i.. I... just.." I keep talking unsure if i am even making sentences anymore.
"Camille you need to rest. Elijah and Klaus are already among the matter. Klaus wen first looking for something. i'm sure he will be back with better news. Elijah, of course, is looking for Hayley. I can assure you that Hope is not being harmed. Even her mother isn't that ruthless. Other than our few damages, this is not a victims war. We may have to wait but we will get her back. I have sent out for Rebekah and hoping she will return soon." Freya puts a hand on my shoulder and guides me to a chair.
"I can't just sit here and do nothing." I exclaim thankfully nodding at Freya as she hands me a blanket.
"And what are you planning to do? You have been out of our reach for almost a month now and now you are just willing to jump back into the matter." I understand her anger with me and I scared to see Klaus's reaction. I barely know Freya and she's upset. How is Klaus going to hold?
I don't say anything. I know she is exactly right. I'm just worried for Hope. I'm worried for everyone. Where was Klaus and what was he doing? I terrified that his anger has left him vulnerable and is being hurt. I'm also worried for Marcel. He partially jumped into the mix and I would not forgive myself if he got killed. I was so lost in thought I jump when Freya lays a hot rag on my arm.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, but your wound need attention." i look at my arm. The skin is absolutely shredded and I'm scared that I will get sick. I push the rag on it. It burns but I know it is for the best. I look at Freya, she is quite battered herself and all color has been drawn from her face. She tries to smile but it barely holds. I try to stand up, but my ankle restrains me. I can see a pool of blood gathering underneath of my foot. I look past the fact and try again.
"Camille, you aren't leaving tonight, you are weak and hurt, anything could be waiting out there for you." I panic, I can't be here when Klaus arrives. I can't bare to see his reaction. I know how much he will hate me for all of this. I turn towards Freya.
"Can't you heal me and I can go home?" She gives me a weak laugh. "The wolves have drained all my strength. I only just started to gain it back to heal myself but I used the smallest bit left to save you." Immediately feel guilty and I give her an appreciative look. "Thank you." She smiles and reaches out her hand. "Lets get you to bed shall we?"
Freya supports me as we walk up the stairs. My bad ankle not even being able to hold my weight. When we reach the top, we both lean up against the railing catching out breath. It's weird to see a Mikaelson so human like and not always bloodthirsty. We carry on until Freya stops us at a doorway. The one right next to Klaus's bedroom.
"You can stay in this guest bedroom for the night. I'll go get you some clothes to sleep in." I thank her and I hobble over to the bathroom. I run the warm water, filling the bath. After all the sweating from the running and the blood dried on my body, I am in a major need of a washing. Freya comes in and politely asks if she can enter. When I confirm, she walks in and set a fresh change of clothes next to the sink. I thank her and she says the her brothers have not returned yet but she will keep my updated when she knows. After she leaves I strip down and relax in the tub. This gives me time to think. Freya had been completely right early. I have been "gone" and then suddenly I'm jumping back into the mix of things. All I know is that Klaus will understand. At least I hope so. I have forgiven Klaus for everything and have looked past the monster he is. After what he said on the voicemail I'm sure his feelings are still there. I'm just scared to confirm them with everything that has happened tonight. The pit of my stomach tightens knowing that I will have to face Klaus any second now and explain why I was gone. Will he think that it is petty? Or happily opens his arms? I just don't want things to be different between us, but I know that they already have.
I get out of the tub carefully and shrug on the clothes Freya laid out for me. I can't help but breathe them in. These are obviously women clothing but they smell exactly of Klaus. Fresh cotton and heavy paint. Those two smells are not hard to come by which makes its ever so pleasing to have. I "make myself at home" and take all the things out of my backpack. I feel unprotected without my taser, wishing I had scooped it up as Freya made the wolves banish. Nonetheless, I take Kieran's bible out along with water, snacks, a couple of stakes, and a lighter. There are few ore unnecessary items I keep just for good luck. My focus is shifted when my phone vibrates on the table. A text from Marcel. I'm okay and so is everyone but Hayley, Davina, and Vincent with Hope got away. Luckily whatever spell they last did was still intact and Elijah has joined us to figure it out. Hope to hear from you soon. I fall back on the bed in relief. I'm disappointed that they got away but extremely thankful that Marcel, Elijah, and everyone else is okay.
I'm about to hobble to the hallway to tell Freya when an angered voice shouts out in the Plaza. "Where is she?" The voice I've been dying to hear. I'm not surprised that he is mad but I have never missed his voice more. I can now hear his feet stomping up the stairs and making there way towards me. I waiting for the worst knowing nothing pretty is going to come out of it. I stand leaned up against the doorpost watching the ground as his shadow gets closer. I can't bare to see his face. He stands in front of me and my breathing picks up.
"Camille?" He says softly, no anger to be heard. He gracefully guide my chin up to look into his eyes. They only carry disbelief, a watch tears slowly fall down his face. Not surprised that mine followed suit right after. I waiting for his explosions but he does something that surprises me. Pulling me into a tight hug. "Oh Camille..." He whisper. Again I fall in love with that stupid name.
Thank you for reading. Just a warning but a pretty harsh situation between Klaus and Cami next chapter. Not everything stays as sweet and soft as the moment above. Please review and again thank you for everyone that has reviewed. It is greatly appreciated and I'm glad you guys love it.
