Losing Hope (Sequel to Little Wolf (a VD and TO story)

Chapter 8

"Cami and I should take Davina to the hospital.." I say worriedly as I look at an unconscious Davina through her doorway.

"Yeah, she seems to be pretty out of it" Cami says as she puts her hand on Davina's forehead. Klaus comes up onto the porch and stares menacingly into the house.

"Oh, Hello darling. Back to huff and puff and blow the house down?" Kaleb, Davina's witch friend says.

"You know, it's funny how often a person's sharp tongue can end up cutting their own throat" Klaus says unamused. I put my hand on his shoulder and make him look at me.

"It's not worth it, he's just a dumb kid" I say rolling my eyes as I look at Kaleb.

"Yeah, she's right. You know, you may want to try a bit of lavender under your pillow. Does wonders for stuck-up pillocks with anger issues" Kaleb retorts.

"Hey! Shut it!" Cami says as she gets up and comes out onto the porch with Klaus and myself.

"Penelope, I promised not to kill Davina, I said nothing of this insolent sod" Klaus says angrily. I give him soft eyes.

"Listen, I have my murderous sides too but you really didn't even kill Mikael and I do not believe that you are going to kill this kid and not kill Mikael.. come on.." I say as I give Klaus a little more harsh eyes. I hold my palm out and look at him. "Give me the stake.." I tell him as I motion him to give me the stake. He looks at me suspiciously.

"Fine.." He finally says reluctantly as he hands me the stake.

"Thank you" I smile as I take the stake and slip it into my back pocket.

"You and Camille should go get the car ready, we will take her to the hospital" Klaus says as he sends me a soft look. I smile at him warmly.

"Meet you in the car" I say before Cami and I walk away. We go down the driveway to the car and I look into the trunk to see if Mikael is there, but when I look I see nothing and fear takes over my body. "Cami?" I call out but I get no answer. "Camille!" I yell as I look around the car trying to find Cami but within an instant a hand covers my mouth when I try to scream. Within a second everything goes black.

--------------------

I open my eyes wearily and I look around at my surroundings and see that someone is carrying me over his shoulder.

"It seems that our hybrid has awoken" Mikael's voice says as he throws me to the ground. I see that he is holding Cami's wrist as he pulls her along.

"Mikael... How.. How are you even here? I've seen what that blade can do, that's impossible" I say as I get to my feet. "And whatever you are doing is between you and I, you do not have to bring Cami into this" I snarl, standing my ground against him.

"I have fought more pain than anyone, living or dead... And I couldn't just leave one or the other" Mikael snarls at me. "But once I feed, I shall be restored" Mikael says as he looks at Cami. Cami tries to run away and I launch at Mikael to protect her but he quickly throws me into a tree. He angrily stomps over to me and pulls me up to my feet.

"Not her, or you. Both of you are my leverage, You both mean a great deal to Niklaus, and once I threaten to kill you in front of him, Klaus will waver, and in that moment of weakness, I shall end him" Mikael snarls angrily. He looks deranged and all I want to do is strike him dead where he stands.

"No, this is insane. How? How can you two go round and round like this for a thousand years, the running, the killing, the hatred.. You have chased Niklaus for 1,000 years, hell bent on killing him, when his one fatal flaw was that he was fathered by another man!" I yell at Mikael not backing down as I hear Cami swallow hard.
