OUR HOPE

CAMILLE

Next morning when Caroline woke up, she saw Klaus sleeping right beside her and looking earnestly at her face and smiling. She chuckles and puts her hand o his bare shoulder and says, "It is rude to stare Nik." Klaus shrugs his shoulders and continues to stare at her with his bright blue- green eyes. Caroline is about to say something when suddenly a scream is heard through the house, alarming everyone and even waking up Hope. They both get dressed in vampire speed and run out to the source of the screams. They reach on of the guest bedrooms allotted to Cami and are shocked by what they see in there. They see a bloody Cami with a huge wound, which is now healed around her neck. Caroline takes one look at the sheets and figures out that Cami is under transition. She shares a look with Klaus who also understands and Caroline starts walking towards Cami. Caroline says in a cool and calm voice, "Cami, hey, look at me. What happened? Who did this?" Cami holds the comforting hand Caroline provided in order to ground herself to something and says, "Aurora, she compelled me, she compelled me to drink her blood and kill myself while you were unconscious in the church. I had no option, Caroline, It was like this force and-" when she breaks down and Caroline immediately hugs her in order to calm her down. After Cami cries her eyes out Caroline advices her to go take a shower and freshen up and then we will decide what to do.  Cami nods and starts walking slowly to the bathroom. Caroline sighs and looks at Klaus who is fuming with anger. Caroline walks to him, wraps her arms around his shoulders to calm him down. Klaus relaxes into her touch and says, "She didn't deserve this Caroline, she is a good person." Caroline says, "No she didn't Klaus, but you have to give her the choice. You and I did not get one, we both know how important it it." Klaus wants to argue but he knows that deep down Caroline is right. 

After Camille came back from her bath, she sat down in the study in front of Klaus, Caroline, Elijah and Katherine. Caroline is the first one to approach her, sits down near her in the sofa and says, "Cami, I know that we have had out difference, but please trust me when I say this, that a transition causes a huge impact on your life. For some people it is negative and for some positive. I don't know what will happen if you do decide to turn, but Cami, you are a good person, too good for this world. You deserve to live a life, a good life. Nobody wants you to give up after what you have faced and fought. We all want you to fight, make a good decision. In the end, whatever decision you make, it will be your choice." Cami looks at Caroline, nods and suddenly hugs her. Caroline is surprised but then relaxes into the hug. Cami breaks the hug and Klaus then says, "Now that this is done, Camille, sweetheart you only have a day to make a decision, and no matter what decision you take, we have to teach Tristan and Aurora a lesson." Cami looks at Klaus, smiles and nods.
