'How much did Cami see?" Marcel asked Klaus as they stood in the now empty compound.

"She just saw an argument, mate. It's nothing you can't fix." Klaus answered reassuring him. As Marcel stared into the distance Klaus asked him "You really like her, don't you?"

"I like that she's not a part of any of this. Sometimes it's good to see the world the way humans do." Marcel explained

"I am sorry about Thierry, you know. I can tell he was a good friend." Klaus said

"I made him what he was. Obviously, my trust was misplaced." Marcel claimed then both were interrupted by the sound of heels hitting the floor.

"Well sometimes it's the ones you love the most that hurt you most. Isn't that right Nik?" Amelia said as she made her way to them. Klaus was stunned how she still looked just as beautiful as she did when he first seen her expect for her hair which was less organised and her make-up slightly off.

"Gosh, how do you remain so beautiful even after tonight?" Marcel asked her as she hugged him.

"It's my secret." She replied and moved over to Klaus who grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"You saved me tonight. I guess I owe you one." Marcel said as he stood up straight. "You asked for Elijah back, seems like the least I could do." Amelia smiled,

"Well, I'm going leave you two, so you can do stuff that old friends do." She smiled at men in front of her and started to walk away.

Amelia walked into the bar where Camille was sat down on a stool drinking her sorrows away. She sat by her "Hey, about tonight..." She started but Cami interrupted her

"Don't tell me Marcel sent you to smooth things over. I was expecting he'd ask Klaus." Camille said as Amelia ordered herself a drink.

"No doubt he did, but I got here first " Amelia said as she drank her drink and pointed to Camille "-and I do not take commands from Marcel. So, believe me when I say that he is a good guy, but you just caught him at the wrong moment."

"I'd like to but-"

"But you've been hurt before and you don't want to go through it again" Amelia pointed out looking at how upset Camille is.

"Something like that. The guy I saw tonight, not the guy that I thought he was and if he can turn on a dime like that-" Cami explains but Amelia stopped her

"Sounds more like broken trust then just a broken heart." Amelia said. "I know how you feel, my trust has been broken one too many times." Amelia said as she swirled the straw in her drink in circles. " I never trusted any one ever again. Maybe because I was broken or because I just couldn't find anyone to replace that part in my heart." She stopped her rant, Camille tried to put the facts together in her mind, concluding that Amelia was probably talking about Klaus.

"You must understand, I don't want to be hurt." Camille state, and Amelia sighed

"I didn't want to do this Cami but..." Cami looked at her confused, Amelia looked into her eyes "You went to Marcel's, you danced. You felt bad that he had a row with his friend but other than that it was... perfect" Amelia got up from her seat and paid for both her and Cami's drink and left.

"Well tonight was an epic failure." Rebekah said as she sat by the piano and Klaus walked into the room.

"On the contrary, sister. Tonight, was a masterpiece." Klaus exclaimed.

"Are you mad? Katie died before Sophie could finish the spell." Rebekah said shocked at her brother's behaviour.
