I got a text from Cami saying she needs my help and to meet her in the bayou. I have no clue what she is doing there but I didn't question it.

It was night out and Angel was already put to bed when I left. "Cami!" I yelled out as I walk through trees and stepping on wet dirt. I looked at my surrounding to see if I can spot a wild blonde out and about. I looked back in front of me to see Mikael standing there and he was holding onto Cami who looks frightened.

"You're coming with me." Mikael said and I raised my eyebrow at him.

"And why should I?" I asked him.

"Unless you want poor Camille to die because of your stubbornness, I suggest you do exactly as I say." He threatens.

I look over at Cami who was staring back at me with fear in her eyes. I turn back to Mikael and nodded my head at him making him smirk in victory.

It was daylight now and Mikael brought us to this abandoned building. He's been holding onto me and Cami's arms extremely tight. "I used to try to convince Klaus there was good in everyone. That you really did care about him deep inside once." Cami said but Mikael didn't say anything. He just pushes us on the floor.

I held both of my hands out to catch myself so I wouldn't land on my stomach. I got to stay focus and not stress as much as I should be.

"He told me I was naive. That I could never fathom how deep your hatred ran." Cami said. I really hope she is not trying to give this man a therapy session. There is no saving this man, he is a monster.

"I didn't always hate him. When Niklaus was born, I was overjoyed. I thought, "This one, this one has the eyes of a warrior. He will be worthy." But my hope was short-lived. And when I found out that he wasn't really my son, my relief was glorious. But that passed with the knowledge that he was begat of a beast." Mikael said.

"Esther's adultery has nothing to do with Klaus." I said trying to that get it through his head.

"Everything that followed was because of Niklaus' obsession with the wolves. He ventured out to watch them turn under the full moon... and he took my youngest son, Henrik. He was but a child and he was torn apart." Mikael said.

"Which was an accident. It's not like he wanted his little brother to die." I rebuttal back.

"An accident?" Mikael yelled out. "He murdered my wife! His own mother, who sought to cleanse him of his beast like nature. He betrayed me. He turned my entire family against me. And yet, you defend him."

"That is not his fault!" I yelled back using the same tone he was using on me. "If you would have just loved him like any father would love their child then maybe all of your children wouldn't turn their backs on you... but instead you beat him for every little thing he did as a kid."

Mikael swung his hand that was holding Tunde's blade across my face and I fell down from the impact. "You speak as if you was born into this family, but you're not." Mikael's face starts to vamp out. "This wound seems to not be healing very fast so I need to feed and you will not stop me unless you want me to actually kill her." Mikael ordered them he vamps to Cami who screamed out as Mikael bites into her neck.

Klaus stood back up after feeding on a very dead human. He has been killing off the humans that was compelled to attack him all night and it was now daylight. He turns around to face another one who was stumbling towards him holding a stick in his hand. He waves it around trying to hit Klaus but he easily dodges it then throws him on the ground with a yell.

Klaus phone starts to ring and he answers it while panting very hard. "I'm a tad busy. What is it, Hayley?" Klaus asked her.

"Something has happened to Elijah. He was supposed to be our decoy last night and now he's vanished. There's blood everywhere, werewolf and vampire. There's a trail. I need you to help us track it." Hayley asked him as she and Marcel looks to where the trail is lead to.

"As much as I'd like to help find my brother, I have pressing matters at the moment." Klaus kicks a boy in his face to stop him from getting up.

"What's more important than your own brother?" Hayley asked him.

"My life. Davina has Mikael on a magical leash and it broke. Now Mikael has Tunde's blade, the white oak stake and Cami." Klaus said.

"Wait, Cami? Nix was supposed to meet up with her last night." Hayley said with a face of confusion. Marcel stood up from a squat as he looks towards Hayley direction now that he is interested in the conversation.

"I really hope your not thinking that Mikael now has my girlfriend and my friend as his hostage?" Klaus said but he knew his theory was right.

"He must have used Cami's phone to lure her out her home." Hayley said.

"I'm gonna get them back." Another human got up and Klaus grabbed him him his neck choking him out. "And then I'm gonna end this. Either Mikael or I will be ash by day's end. And if you do find my brother tell him I could do with a hand." Klaus snaps the neck of the human he was choking, then he ended the call more determined to find Mikael and end everything between them.

~~~

Footsteps were heard and Mikael picked up Cami's unconscious body up to his chest so she could some what stand up and he held Tunde's blade against my back.

Klaus walked in and his eyes landed on me checking me over, well, he stared at the cut on my face from the blade which won't heal anytime soon before looking at Cami. He was holding a makeshift stake in his hand as he stood in front of us.

Nik points the stake towards Mikael. "You're gonna pay for hurting them." Nik threatened.

Mikael drops Cami to the floor with no care and shoved me down on my side. "Oh, how sweet. The cur shines for its bitch and her friend." Mikael taunted as he takes a few steps up to Klaus. "I'll make sure to kill her right in front of your eyes just like I did to her with her daughter, then I will dance around your burning corpse."

Klaus didn't want to hear anymore as he leaps into the air with the stake raised and land on top of Mikael.

The two quickly got up and I took this chance to move Cami out of the way since this will be an ugly fight. Mikael pushes Nik against a wall and tried to stab him in the heart with the white oak stake. Nik held it back as it was inching closer and closer before finally moving the stake away from his heart. Klaus shoves Mikael away before tackling him through a wall.

Well, I tried dragging Cami out of the room but with my pregnant stomach and her undead body it was no point. Luckily for me she came back to the real world and slowly got back on her feet. I bit into my wrist and shoved it into her mouth so she can drink from me.

I pull my wrist away and she smiles at me as a thank you and I smile back at her. I turn to look at the fight and I see Tunde's blade being thrown straight at my face. Before I could do anything, Nik speeds over to me and grabs it out of the air, inches away from my face. Mikael used that distraction to speed over to Nik and stab him in the heart with the white oak making said person yell out in pain.

"No!" I yelled out and sped over to Nik so I could take the stake out but Mikael slaps me hard and I fell to the ground. Nik fell right after me and we stare at each other. Tears were falling down my face as his body starts to turn grey and the veins growing up to his face. "Nik! Please." I cried out as I crawl towards his desiccated body. "You can't leave me alone again." I whispered.

"Why aren't you burning?" I heard Mikael say and that made me stop all of my water works. Nik's body didn't go up in flames when he died, so what was happening? "If you were dead, you would burn." Mikael said as he steps closer to Nik's corpse. "Burn!" He yelled out before leaving to find out what was happening.

I crawl all the way to Nik's body and with a grunt I pull out the stake in his heart. "What do you think you're doing?" Mikael said and I immediately stood up pointing the white oak in his direction.

"Stay the hell away from us." I threatened him as I push Cami behind me. "I swear to god, I will finish what you started a century ago."

Mikael kept walking closer to me. "You have a warrior's heart. Perhaps I'll keep it as souvenir." He said and was about to attack me but Marcel sped over and punched him away. He got a few hits in before Mikael trips him onto his back and pointed the stake Nik once had towards his face. "This night has been a long parade of fools. I'll enjoy killing every last one of you." Mikael said.

I hear Nik gasp awake from behind me but I was distracted by a chain getting wrapped around Mikael's neck and he was pulled so he would the person holding the other end.

"I wouldn't bet on it." Hayley said and swung the other end of the chain that was attached to a piece of concrete across Mikael's face. He fell onto his hands and knees and Hayley and Marcel went to stand on our side.

Nik walked to the front of our group to address Mikael. I notice Davina standing along with us as well from the corner of my eye. "It's over, Mikael. You're outnumbered. Are you going to beg for your miserable life?" Nik asked him seeing as he got a hybrid, a vampire, and two witches on his side ready to fight with him.

Mikael chuckles as he stares at all of us. "You think having people makes you strong? It proves how weak you are. Come find me when you don't have fools, women and children fighting your battles." Mikael said and threw the stake at Nik's feet, then he whooshes away.

~~~

Nik sat me against a dirty table so he could check to see anything else Mikael had done to me. All I had was a bruised wrist that had healed away during the fight and the cut on my face that will take a day or two to heal.

"I'm sorry this happened to you." Nik apologizes making me smile at him.

"Don't apologize for the things you have no control over." I told him as he smiles down at me rubbing over the cut on my face. I put my hand over his heart. He was almost done healing but right now it was a big scar. "You pulled the stake out in the nick of time. A moment longer and I would have been done for."

"I wasn't going to let you leave me like this. It is also the least I could do since I want you to be in our child's life." I said shoving my cheek more into his hand.

"Well, he hurt you. For that alone, I would kill him. You know, I'm a thousand years, I think it's the first time I've seen him run." Nik said.

"He was still recovering from you stabbing him with Tunde's blade." I said.

"And he knew he was outmatched." I turn around to see Hayley and Marcel walking up to us.

"We checked the perimeter and he's gone." Marcel said.

Nik nods his head at him making me frown. I kick his shin and he grunts out in pain while staring at me. I gesture towards them hoping he gets that he need to voice his thoughts and feelings. "I appreciate your assistance." Nik said and I smiled at him.

"Oh, hey, you die, I die. Just call me selfish." Marcel said.

"Yeah, you die, a lot of people die. But Klaus..." Hayley said about to give him the bad news. "We have another problem."
