When Amelia left the sanctuary, she decided to visit a bar on one of the main streets. Inside she saw Camille behind the bar. ''Double bourbon and ice please.'' She gave Camille her order and waiting as she prepared her drink.

''Are you new here? I never seen you before.'' Camille said as she placed Amelia's drink in front of her.
''No, this is actually happening to be a city I call home. How about you...'' Amelia paused looking at her name tag. ''Camille? Very pretty name, my aunt's name actually'' Amelia smirked as she took a sip of her drink.
''Thank you but I prefer Cami, I actually just moved here not long ago'' Cami smiled at the stranger. ''Very unique choice of drink, usually I get double scotch or vodka and Coke.''

'' Well, I'm a sucker for bourbon'' Amelia said placing her elbows on the bar and taking another drink. Then someone walked into the bar,

'' I'll have the usual, Cami'' The person sat next to Amelia and she immediately recognised the voice.

'' I see you managed to get that wooden leg out, just fine'' Amelia commented looking at her drink while twirling it in her hand.

'' Yeah, just had a splinter here and there.'' Amelia laughed at that. Then turned around to face him, she was putting her own plan in the works.

'' Listen, I don't do this often so appreciate this. I am. sorry for snapping your neck and going to talk to Davina. I was just curious, I guess, I won't tell anyone. I give you...my word'' Marcel looked at Amelia with curiosity and accomplishment. Amelia didn't just give her word to anyone, and he knew that.

''Why?'' Marcel asked her while drinking his own drink. Amelia put her attention back to hers and took another sip before replying.

'' Well, I guess I don't want to hide in the shadows anymore and I like a bit of chaos, with Niklaus around it's definitely going to be an entertainment for me. Plus, right now I think I'm more hated by your vampires then Klaus and you know how I hate losing.'' Amelia smirked into her glass and finished her drink. Marcel smiled,

''Listen, Davina feels as though you can teach her things and she wants you to visit her. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea but with you, I'll have respect even from the witches.''

''Wait a minute? What do you mean teach her?'' What Marcel didn't know was that Amelia also practised dark magic which is dangerous even for Davina.

'She wants you to teach her, I also think she needs this.'' Amelia looked at him confused.

'' Need what?''

'' Someone to look up too, a big sister figure.'' Marcel now also finished his drink and waited for Amelia's answer. Amelia was surprised by this because Marcel actually seemed to actually care for Davina instead of just using her as a weapon.

''Only in the church, right? She's not allowed out?'' Amelia asked

''It's for her own safety because of the...'' Amelia cut him off before he could finish the sentence.

'' The harvest. The witches want her dead, believe me I know the feeling.'' Amelia sighed ''Alright, I'll go and see her soon. My treat'' Amelia smiled them disappeared, meanwhile in front of Marcel appeared a 20$ bill. He smiled and left the bar to return to his duties

Later that night, music filled Marcel's home as the nightlife awoke. Klaus and Amelia were following Marcel around the balcony of the compound watching people enjoying their time.

''At the stroke of midnight, everything changes, and it's time to feed.'' Screams were heard from innocent people as Marcel's vampire fed on their blood, ''This is how I keep my guys happy, the occasional all-you-can-eat buffet. My nightwalkers love it. to them working hard trying to earn one of these daylight rings.'' Amelia laughed quietly to herself, but Klaus hears it and smirks as Marcel was carrying on with his 'buffet'. ''They deserve to blow of a little steam. My day walkers, the trusted few, they just like to party.''
