We swerve into the driveway of the Mikaelson Manor. The rest of the Originals are making there way outside, sensing our distress.
"Everyone pack up your bags, we're leaving," Klaus yells. Hayley's mouth opens. Elijah steps forward, fiddling with his cufflinks.
"Whatever do you mean Niklaus." Elijah pronounces whatever with a 'Hwa'.
"What I mean is that by nightfall this Manor will be surrounded with Mystic Falls inhabitants by the likes of Elena Gilbert and her 'posse'." Elijah sighs a long sigh that even I, who doesn't have super-sonic hearing can hear. He mumbles something to Hayley who nods at him. In a flash, he has gone inside. Hayley crosses her arms and stares down Klaus.
"What happened." Klaus looks at me willing me silently to speak up.
"We bumped into someone who recognised Klaus," She squints her eyes.
"Who was it? Caroline?" Klaus groans. I look at him in surprise, what happened between him and Caroline?
"No, It was someone you don't know. Enzo St John." She shrugs and walks back into the house. Finn follows her. Klaus looks to me I grimace and walk into the old wooden house, I hear his footsteps behind me.
...
It turns out that it is easy to pack when you don't have many belongings. I find myself in an old storage room, trying to help finish packing up. The door closes behind me.
"Ello Camille," I stiffen, Finn. I turn around and face him. He smiles at me. I imagine myself as him. Determined to kill my family. I shudder. "You and I have got a lot in common y'know."
"Really how so?" I fail to see any similarities connecting us.
"Both of us are unwillingly involved in the Mikaelson family. Both of us want an out."
"What makes you so sure I want an out?"
"Who wouldn't?"
...
I walk into the living room to find Klaus lounging on the sofa. "Hey," I'm not sure how I want to phrase what I am about to say. I sit down instead.
He nods his head at me. "And to what do I owe this pleasure?" His eyes sparkle. When I say nothing he continues. "Come on then, out with it."
"What happened between you and Caroline?" I blurt out. He looks shocked but he maintains his composure in a matter of seconds. He opens his mouth and then closes it again, not knowing what to say. "Klaus?"
"Nothing, nothing happened." I raise my eyebrows in disbelief. "We have some degree of history that's all."
"History?" I smirk, usually, it would be genuine but for some reason this bit of information pangs in my chest. He opens his mouth to answer. "You know what, don't worry. I don't need to know." I get up.
"Camille?!" Klaus' voice raises and octave. I look back and pull a half-hearted smile, then I walk out the door. When I'm safely in the corridor I lean against the wall. Why did that bother me so much?
...
Elijah's POV:
Mystic falls town is the same as it was 3 years ago at my last visit. I look to my left, at Hayley. She smiles at me but I can see the worry creasing her brow. "What's wrong?"
"What are we doing Elijah? I mean really?" I'm confused.
"What do you propose we do?" She sighs.
"I don't know, I don't know okay. But what I do know is that Hope deserves to have a good childhood. Not one where her whole families on the run, she included." I take her hand.
"I know, but we have to go one step at a time."
"Elijah?" I turn around and find the voice. Elena Gilbert stands 10 metres behind us. She nods her head at Hayley. "Hey." Hayley smiles. "So what are you guys up to? Family visit to the home-town?"
"Something like that," Hayley says. Elena smiles. She shouldn't be this happy, not when Klaus is in town. Unless...I take in her riding boots, black leather jacket and vervain filled bracelets dangling on each wrist.
"Katerina." Hayley's eyes widen and Katerina stiffens.
