AN UNBLINKING DEATH

"Hey. Where are you going?" Sara asked Nat in the middle of a yawn. Nat was grabbing her things and getting ready to head out early in the morning just as Sara came out of her room.

"I'm going to the Church to see Cami and check on Kieran." Nat told her softly and smiled at her. "Thanks for letting me stay here. And for this." She gestured at her neck, which was now bandaged. Sara nodded and smiled back.

"No problem. I'm here if you need anything else."

"Bye, Sara." The other witch waved at her and Nat stepped outside the apartment. She walked down the stairs and then walked out of the building, heading to St. Anne's immediately.

Her neck was still a bit sore from yesterday, but nothing compared to the anger still raging inside her. She was angry at Elijah and Klaus. Elijah for not listening to her and Klaus for going behind their backs with the werewolves. She knew the anger would pass, but for now, she just wanted to be left alone.

After a few minutes of walking, she finally arrived at the church and entered, quickly heading to the attic. When she entered, she found Cami and Josh already tending to Kieran, who was muttering to himself nonsense.

"Nat!" Cami called to her as soon as she noticed her standing by the door. Nat waved at her and entered the room, walking closer to them and looking at Kieran worriedly.

"Hey. How is he?" She asked the blonde softly. Cami exhaled quietly and looked at his uncle.

"Not good. We're just trying to take care of him as well as we can."

"Well, I'm here if you need anything." Cami smiled at her and grabbed a glass of water, nodding at Josh after. The vampire held Kieran down while Cami raised the glass to her uncle's lips. But just before it could touch his lips, Kieran, freaking out, slapped the cup out of her hand.

"No. Uh! I know who you are, you hateful bitch." Kieran snapped at Cami as she crouched down on the floor to pick the fallen object. Nat frowned at his words and crouched down next to Cami to help her pick the other things that had fallen. "Oh, Sean, I tried to help you." Both girls looked at Kieran, who was now looking at Josh sadly. "I tried to save you, but this city... this city is full of monsters."

"Uh, yeah. Trust me. I know." Josh told him awkwardly before turning to Nat and Cami. "Remind me to never piss off a witch."

"Aagh!" Kieran suddenly yelped in pain before falling to the floor. He began having a seizure and Cami quickly rushed to his side.

"Help me lay him on his side!" Josh and Nat quickly did as told and the priest looked calm for a second.

"Cami." He murmured tiredly.

"Uncle Kieran?" Cami looked at him hopeful and Nat and Josh glanced at each other. But as soon as it happened, he snapped back.

"What do you want from me?" He asked agitated before backing away into a corner. Nat, Josh and Cami stood up to talk privately while keeping an eye on the priest.

"You guys saw that, right? It was just for a second, but it was him." The all stared at Kieran, who anxiously grabbed the cross around the neck and squeezed it.

"I don't know Cami. I mean, maybe he's still in there underneath all the crazy, but the crazy is pretty thick." Josh told her hesitant.

"Maybe he just needs a shock to his system, something to wipe the slate clean." Cami said out loud and Nat's brows furrowed in confusion. "I think I have an idea on how to fix him."

"What are you thinking?" Nat asked her, afraid of the answer.

"Shock therapy could work."

"No. Cami, it's too dangerous and you don't even know if it'll work." Nat told her but the blonde shook her head stubbornly.
