CAMI's POV
I wake back in my current bedroom. It takes a while for my eyes to adjust because the curtains are wide open to reveal the windows. Klaus is a silhouette against the dark green landscape of the night. He senses my awakening and turns round smiling ever so slightly.
"How are you love?" He looks earnestly into my eyes.
"Why have you been ignoring me Klaus?" I try and sit up on my bed but the pillows are too squishy and my arms to weak, he zooms to my side and rearranges the cushions and helps me up.
"Are you sure you're alright?" He sits on the edge of my bed. I sigh in frustration.
"No Klaus, I'm very much not alright but that doesn't matter. What matters is why you are ignoring me?" He doesnt answer and looks away from me, his eyes focusing once more on the window. "KLAUS!" Tears begin to form in my eyes. I don't know why perhaps it is a mix of confusion at Klaus and everything else in my life at the moment. When he doesnt reply I sigh again this time it comes out as more of a whimper. "Kla-"
"Because i'm not good for you, this, whatever it is not good for you!" He motions between us. "Can't you see that?! All my family and I have bought you is pain, pain and grief and hurt. You are better off without us Camille. Better off living your own life. We are dragging you down." The tears that were forming fall. Just two of them before I open my mouth.
"Klaus n-"
He moves up the bed and looks into my eyes. "Camille its time for me to do what I should've done a long time ago. Or, I should have kept doing what I was doing. This family is like venom Cami. It spreads through your body until suddenly you aren't you anymore you are a byproduct of the disease that is the Mikaelson Family. And I need to let you go before the venom spreads any further." He reaches towards my head and his eyes drill into mine. I realise what he is doing and I look away.
"No." I pause, my tears have dried up and have been replaced by a hybrid of emotions, anger at Klaus, sadness, confusion. "You don't get to decide that Klaus! Not again" His eyes widen and his lips part. "Years ago you compelled this away and it was wrong Klaus, it was wrong. Yes I admit there has been times where I have hated your family. But there has been more tines where I have loved it. Its true that you have brought me pain." He looks down. "A lot of pain, infact a hole lot of pain." He smirks slightly at my pun. "But the fact remains Klaus I would never go back. Even if it meant bot living in danger or always risking my life. I wouldn't go back Klaus because I wouldn't have a life. You... without you my life would be boring. And I don't want that Klaus I really don't. This family that you call a disease Klaus isn't one, it's a blessing. And although at times it doesn't seem like it, you always have each others backs, someone to fight alongside with. And I have been honoured to be there with you and your family. You don't have to view me as different Klaus, yes I am mortal but I am also smart and I don't want to be coddled and rushed away as soon as it gets too much. So please, please dont compel me Klaus, because if you do, I...I don't know what I'd do."
He exhales loudly taking in what I have just said. He stays silent for so long that I am beginning to doubt what I just said.
I close my eyes and put my hands on my head waiting for him to say something. Suddenly I feel a pressure on my neck and warmth on my lips. I open my eyes to find myself in heavenly embrace. Klaus runs his fingers through my hair and moves closer towards me pressing my body down onto the mattress. I react and push back against him. We breathe in hot steamy air. Our lips saying what out hearts cannot. He pauses for a moment and looks into my eyes. He chuckles and then turns over so we are lying side by side. Our hands link and I look at him. He is smiling wider than I have seen him smile in ages, he turns on to his side and puts his hand around my waist. We both stare at each other for what feels like hours, cocooned in our own little paradise.
