Living In The Moment, With You By My Side

Chapter three

AT MARCEL'S LOFT

"We need to take out the strix all at once. We just have to find a way to do it," said Elijah

Klaus was deep in thoughts.

"Well, we better act fast because their presence in New Orleans will bring trouble," said Marcel

"There might be a way to handle this, I mean, Elijah and I once dealt with our enemies in one night," said Klaus, looking at Elijah

"About a hundred years ago, we had some enemies that were causing trouble for our family, so Niklaus and I got them in one venue and burned them all."
"It might work again if we manage to get all the heads of the Strix in one venue," said Elijah

"This is a holiday season. Why not host a party inviting all the heads? We could say that as the founder, you would like to meet all the heads and celebrate the accomplishments of the strix, " said Marcel

"We will need powerful witches to perform a spell that will trap all of them in the building and light it up like fireworks," said Klaus with a smirk

"Marcel, you will have to convince Tristan to throw the party, and I think that you should also invite Lucien on the pretence that I would like to initiate him into the organisation and knowing Lucien he will fall for it" said Elijah

Marcel nodded

BACK AT THE COMPOUND

"Here," said Freya, handing the herbal tea to Camille

Camille gets the cup and drinks the entire content
She looks at Freya with a sour expression
"Wow... couldn't you make it less bitter?

"You are not the first one to complain," she said with a smile

"Where is Rebekah? She should be here to hold your hand. "

"She has gone to check on Hope,"

Rebekah walked into the guest bedroom and said  "Hope is still taking a nap, we don't have to worry about her freaking out when she sees her auntie Cami in tears."

Freya instructs Camille to sit on the bed and for Rebekah to hold her hand.
She begins chanting and in a matter of seconds Camille could feel the spell working, the herbal tea was able to help her relax and open her mind so it wasn't too difficult for Freya to start the decompulsion.
The whole process lasted for half an hour, and when Camille finally opened her eyes, she couldn't help but start crying.
Rebekah was by her side comforting her and finally asked her what she remembered

"Aurora, she compelled me to kill myself the moment I realise that Klaus is in love with me, she gave me a vial of her blood to drink before I slit my throat and bleed to death. She said that I should not scream but bleed out in silence. "

Freya's face turned ashen. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. How could Aurora be so cruel? she asked herself

Rebekah was furious. She was holding back her anger because she was comforting Camille

"Aurora will pay for this, " said Rebekah

After giving Camille another cup of herbal tea that could calm her enough to fall asleep, Freya and Rebekah left Camille in Klaus's bedroom to sleep.

"Are we going to tell Nik about this?" asked Freya

"I don't know if we should, but we have to tell Elijah, I need his help to kill Aurora."
"I am afraid that once Nik finds out about Aurora compelling Camille he will get so scared to even start a romantic relationship with Camille, they have come so far for the relationship to end before it even beings and Nik is finally happy"
"I don't want to break his heart, Freya."
