The protector

Everyones a little crazy

It had been just over an hour when the screams had stopped, making my way back up to the attic, I watch as the priest slowly comes around. Looking at Cami as the old him for just a second before going back to being the hexed priest again. Cami reaches for the ECT again, speeding over I push her away only gently causing her to look at me with shock on her face.
"Doctor see to your patient"
Klaus is the one to break the silence, slowly walking over to me and Cami.
"Heartbeat is irregular. You can't keep this up. It will kill him."
Shaking her head frantically, tears brimming her eyes once again. Making another move to grab those good damn electric things. Beating her to it I hold them over my knee and smash them down breaking them in half.
"That's enough Cami, I understand that you are trying to save him, but by doing this you are speeding up the inedible, not to mention making it more sufferable for him. I promised to help you and I will, but not like this"
Cami looks around at everyone in the room, all with the same expression on their face. Looking back at me she moves to the side so I can see the door.
"That's not your decision to make. I won't you to leave"
Dropping the broken ECT to the floor I walk past her only going back to where I was sat before. I didn't want to leave her all together, I know she's not thinking straight so I was just going to wait it out.

I sat there for what felt like hours but had only been minutes before someone sat next to me.
"You did the right thing up there love"
Smiling of into the distance I turn to reply but am cut of by his phone ringing.
"What? Where are you"
I watch klaus's worried expression, listening in to the conversation between him and Hayley, getting ready to go help her but stopping mid way when I hear her mention Elijah being with her.
Klaus leaves shortly after me telling him to go back up to watch over Cami, and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. Following up, I come in to see klaus's hand in the priests chest.
"His body is shutting down. Even with my help, he doesn't have much time"
Klaus looks to Cami, seeing in his face he was going to give up before locking eyes with me. Hesitating he carrying on massaging his heart.
"Your blood. If you fed him your blood, he'd wake back up, right?"
Shocked I look to Cami surprising her with my presence.
"As a vampire in transition, Cami, you know as well as I he wouldn't go through with it, becoming the thing he has always hated."
I hold her arm gently trying to get her to see reason.
"Do it. Just do it. Please, I can't let him die, not like this."
Looking towards me, klaus pulls his hand away and bites into his wrist before letting a few drops of his blood drop into the priests mouth. We wait and watch as slowly his heart monitor goes silent.

We wait patiently for him to wake, Looking at the clock on the wall i notice how late it's gotten, seeing Cami sleeping I usher klaus out the room.
"You need to go, be with Hayley, and make sure her and the baby are ok. I'll stay a little longer and watch over the priest"
Looking back to the room and back to me, he gently lays a kiss on my forehead before speeding away.
Making my way back in the room, I pick up a blanket that's folded neatly on the side and place it over Cami's sleeping figure.
" thank you for staying"
I smile over to the now awake Cami, listening carefully I hear a little soft heart beat, turning my head I see the priest has finally woken up. After explaining everything that had happened over the last few hours I gave them time together on their own to say there goodbyes.

I watch as Cami joins me downstairs, rushing over she engulfs me into a big hug before we sit in silence and wait. After a while the door slowly creaks open, giving Cami a confused look, I look back over to see the priest standing between the door with the crazy look back in his eyes. Pushing Cami away I tell her to run, just as she goes to protest he brings a knife from behind his back and charges at us. Before I had any chance he was on the floor with his heart out of his chest. And non other then klaus himself standing over his body.
