A/N: Hey everyone!
Did I say I will update the next day? Yes I did...sorry. Life and all, same ol'. Well, but I updated now! Go ahead read and share your thoughts!
As you read this just keep in mind that this is a fiction for what I wanted to happen not what will or is happening. Dahlia is not as weak or stupid, in reality, but just let she is, for the sake of the story.
Enjoy!
Klaus was lying inside his open coffin in a dark dungeon, with the exception of one or two candles. Dahlia strolled in and, with a flick of her hand, lit all the thousands of the candles there.
Then she went to Klaus and started murmuring a spell, while she pulled out the dagger."I really did not intended to kill you, when I came to this town, after all it was you, who had graced me with the second new born. And all I wanted was what was promised to me, by the woman who gave birth to you. But now I have come to realise that it was wrong of me to presume that you would keep her words. You brother and sisters tried to take me down yet again. Now, to teach them a lesson, I am forced to kill you." Dahlia spoke as if she didn't have a choice. As if someone was threatening her to this.
Klaus was up, but he couldn't move. Whenever, he tried to get up or move his hand and leg, some force pulled him down, flat against the coffin, again and again,"What have you done to me?" He groaned.
"Nothing, just a simple spell." Dahlia shrugged. She then went to a dark corner and pulled out an object. When she stepped into the light, Klaus could tell it was the white oak stake. His eyes went wide in surprise and a very little proportion of...fear.
"Stay still and this will be over soon." She spoke as she swagged over to him,"This is what they tried to kill me with." Dahlia said revealing a knife to Klaus as she put the stake on a makeshift table,"And now I will destroy it, as I destroy you." She walked up to him and placed the knife on Klaus' chest, closed her eyes, and started chanting spell in her witchy language.
Klaus gathered all his strength and shook the knife off himself. The knife fell inside the coffin, near his hand, and he somehow managed to wrap his finger around it, without Dahlia noticing, because of the closed eyes and murmuring.
Dahlia flickered her wrist, eyes still closed, and the stake floated to her hand, with the flames burning brighter. As she held it in both of her hand and brought it down, it pierced his skin and dug into his chest. Dahlia was not putting all of her force into it, as she believed that she had all the time in the work and he was weak enough. But she was wrong.
Klaus gathered all of his strength and brought the knife up, and plugged it into his 'aunt's' body, aiming for her heart. This was the only time he could succeed, with he element of surprise. Dahlia had not seen this coming, therefore she fell back to the ground, with the knife inside her chest, eyes wide, and getting paler.
He wrapped his hand around the stake in his body, which thankfully had not reached his heart, and pulled it out. He laid there for a moment, when he saw Dahlia's body go up in flames and a victorious smiled graced his lips.
Camille gasped as the vision ended. The horrible image of the stake in Klaus' body and the thought of him being seconds away from dying disturbed her.
She suddenly launched herself to him, hugging him as though there were no tomorrow. She wrapped her arms around him as tightly as she could, wanting to silently tell him what he meant to her. As she knew she didn't had the courage to speak the words yet, too afraid of the rejection.
Klaus stiffened under her touch, before slowly relaxing. Camille still didn't let go, she clinched close to Klaus, making sure he was there, and it was not just her imagination, wouldn't be the first time if it was.
But as Camille was still reassuring herself, she felt Klaus pull away. When she looked at him, she could tell the reason. Even thought he had turned around as soon as he could, she still caught a glimpse of his retreating veins and his beautiful amber eyes with golden highlight.
"Forgive me for that. I have been daggers for two weeks, and here not fed since." Klaus spoke, not turning around once.
Her hand shot out to wrap itself around his arm. She pulled at it making him turn,"Good bye, Cami."
"It's not the best time for you to leave." She spoke calmly, even though she knew the threat she would be in if he stayed. But she didn't care. All she cared about at that moment was that Klaus didn't do something he would regret in the morning.
Many saw him as a monster, a ruthless killing machine, but Camille knew that there was more to him than the meet of eyes. He too felt remorse and guilty. He put up a hard frontier for everyone and acted like he didn't care, but she knew it was just that. A frontier.
"It's the worst time for me to stay." Klaus countered back, finally meeting her eyes to make her realise the seriousness of the situation.
"If you leave you will go on a hunting spree and slaughter innocent people." Camille argued.
"And If I stay I may harm you." Klaus looked directly into her eyes.
"I know you will never hurt me." Camille said as she took a step closer to him. There bodies weren't touching, but there wasn't too much space between them. Klaus looked her in the eyes and the intensity of it made her look away. "And even if you did." Camille spoke again,"It's not like I have someone waiting on me." As soon as she words left her mouth the mood darkened.
Klaus went ridge, she could tell even though she was not touching him. He looked at the blonde girl in front of him and he refused to believe that was what she thought about herself. That she thought she was worthless and will not be missed.
He kept his hand on her chin and made her look at him. She tried to resist a bit, but it was of no use. When there eyes met Klaus told her,"That is the only stupid thing that has ever come out of your mouth. You will be missed, more than anyone of us. If I were dead, I will not be missed by Davina and maybe even Marcel. If Elijah die he too will not be missed by wolves. But if you die, each and every one of us will miss you. Davina because you are the first person she felt connected to after being captive for months. Marcel too will miss you for obvious reason. Elijah and Hope will also miss you. The time you spent with them in the safe house is something they both treasure, I can tell. Hayley will also not be unaffected by your death. You are friends, I assume. You are not just our psychiatrist, Camille. You are our friend. And don't ever think you will not be missed."
He could still see the doubt in her eyes and the pain. Camille was hurt that he had tell the reason what everyone would miss her, but him. Would he not miss her? Was she just another naive human girl to him?
It was like Klaus was in her mind,"And the most, you will be missed by me. I am not just saying this because I want to make you feel better, but I am telling you this because it is the truth. You are like no one else I have ever met in my whole lifetime, and you will never be forgotten, even if I live to be a thousand millenniums."
"Thank you." Camille said when she felt comforted by his words. She was really glad to know, and now all her fear sound childish and silly. She was extremely embarrassed, as the fear subsided, and she felt guilt, for she was the one who was suppose to help him, not the other way around.
"No, thank you." Klaus told Camille, and earned himself a confused look,"That's what I came to tell you. The reason I came to see you were, firstly, I didn't want to see my so called 'siblings' who betrayed me to Freya and then Dahlia, somehow. And the other reason was," He placed his hand on her cheek and spoke from heart," to thanks you. Thank you for being you, for believing in me when my own blood didn't. And for being this stupendous friend and therapist in hour of need."
"You don't need to thanks me for all that. It's something I enjoy doing. And you did repay me number of times by saving my life." Camille spoke with a thousand watt smile, which bounced back at her, via Klaus.
"I must leave now. I have some pressing matters to discuss with my family." Klaus said and began to move and Camille stopped him,"But you did-" She started but was cut off by Klaus,"I will feed. And I will not kill anyone tonight, I give you my words."
As he made his move to leave again, he held a solemn look in his eyes that told Camille that he didn't anticipated having the conversation with this siblings. Then suddenly she remembered something and called for him,"Hey, Klaus."
He was facing the window when her voice reached him, he did not turned back but paused there and waited for her to continue,"I am looking forward to that perfect afternoon at a corner café."
He smiled to himself, but turn to look at her, and fled from her house.
