Tell me you didn't do it. Tell me you didn't kill that sweet boy.
Camille
They said you admitted it.
Then why even come here? To see for yourself, morbid curiosity, a new piece of the puzzle in your long-standing analysis of the immortal bastard? If I tell you who I am, and you refuse to believe me, then I can hardly be blamed for your disappointment.
I wish I did believe you, and you know what? Maybe you were right, maybe about everything, even Freya. Maybe she's not what she seems. Maybe she is out to get you and twisting everyone against you, and maybe she is this terrible person, but you know what she didn't do, Klaus? She didn't just kill Aiden. She didn't just murder an innocent guy.
And neither did I!
What? Why did you tell them that you did?
If I have spilled Crescent blood, then Hayley will be forced to question her pack's loyalty to Hope, and she will not run.
But if they don't protect her, then who.
Only I can save her, and I need them to fear me!
Am I supposed to fear you, too?
It would be better for you if you did, for you to believe I am the monster they would paint me as. And then one day when all of this was past, I might find you and profess my innocence, and because you are you, you would believe me, and we would pass a perfect afternoon in a corner cafe together. And I would wish for nothing more... A better man would protect you with that lie, but I am not that man, and so I leave you with the burden of a truth that no one will believe.
