Hello people of the world. I'm doing this one story based off of the Carmilla web series which I loved. Still gotta watch the movie but that'll come. This is an au there will be a short summary after my authors note. Now this is essentially a spin-off/origin/prequel. This is cannon in three other series that my friend and I have been working on. There is the Midoriichi series from my pal Raischenzo. My last Bit of Humanity series and Fireflies series. They will all be coming together in epic crossovers. Midoriichi and Last Bit of Humanity are both Kigo stories while Fireflies is Victorious. Fireflies is where Carmilla has been introduced in. Now I rewatched the show which inspired the Carmilla of the Fireflies stories. I'm going to work on this and hopefully everyone will like this. So please enjoy and R&R thanks.

Short summary: 2015, two years before the Jelico battle. a year since Carmilla and Laura had stopped her mother from unleashing an ancient evil. Now they are living their life in peace. Traveling the world, wanting to see it all. However the mistakes of Carmilla's past have come back to haunt them once more. However it's not what they had expected.

Rated M: for strong graphic violence, strong sexual content, and strong language.

Disclaimer: this is a work of fiction. I own nothing to do with the series just own the plot of this story. I don't intend to make a profit from this.

Carmilla : Past Mistakes

Prologue

Roanoke Island, 1590

"Come on Estate run" Carmilla called out. Her black hair bounced and swayed as she ran through the woods. She looked back at the dark skinned girl who's hand she clutched to tightly. She had tried to run, thought they'd be safe in the new world however that wasn't the case, they had been found out. Glancing back she saw they weren't being followed at least on the ground they weren't. Her eyes caught a brief movement up in the trees. A figure shot by quickly making her gasp a bit. She continued to run. However she knew they couldn't keep this pace they were sure to be caught. She stopped briefly making Estate gasp.

"What are you doing?" Estate asked looking at Carmilla. Estate had come from a noble Italian family. She was a woman of noble birth. However she had found herself falling in love with Carmilla. It was looked down upon for a woman to fall in love with another woman. However it was a death sentence, if that other woman was a vampire like Carmilla was. Her ebony skin gleamed in the moonlight. Some blood dripped from her skin after being pulled through thorns.

Carmilla said nothing as she pulled her onto her back. Her eyes turned a blood red shade as suddenly she took off running at high speeds. Glancing back she looked to see the figures had kept up. Looking forward she gasped as she saw a figure standing on the path ahead. Turning she ran down another path running for Estate's life. As she ran she panted heavily. They had been running her for almost an hour now. Suddenly she skidded to a halt her and Estate's eyes wide.

They stood on the edge of Roanoke. The night sky lit up with fires burning. Bodies laid strewn out across the streets. Men, women, and children, none had been spared. Carmilla gasped a bit, the whole town had been slaughtered in order to get to her. Her eyes lifted up to see figures coming out of the darkness. They started moving towards them both. She backed up only for Estate to be ripped off of her back. Spinning around she was backhanded by a fellow vampire sending her slamming into a mud puddle. Getting back up she looked to see Estate in the grasp of a vampire.

"Let her go" she screamed out staring at him.

"Carmilla, don't act like this wasn't always coming" a voice said from behind making her eyes go wide.

Turning around she looked to see a man standing there. He wore an English gentleman's coat. His hair was cut short and he had a neatly trimmed beard. On his hips were two swords which he unsheathed. His red eyes glowed in the firelight. He just smirked at her as she faced him directly. "Dracula Hades" she said looking at him.

"Hello my dear. You know you did a great dishonor to me, refusing to marry my son. Squandering your gifts so that you can shack up with this..." he started before looking to Estate. "Human" he finished as he walked up to her. He ran his right index finger gently over Estate's cheek.

"You, you leave her be" Carmilla growled pointing a finger at him.

He smiled at her before turning to face her. "I will give you a fighting chance to save her. Defeat me in combat, and you two can go free" he said smiling at her. He watched as she nodded in agreement. She stripped out of her dress into her undergarments, making it easier to move. Tossing a sword to her she caught it and smiled at him. Dracula walked up to her and bowed to her slightly. She bowed back to him before raising her sword up.

Carmilla charged him, her sword swinging up at him. He just side stepped her and tripped her. She splashed into a mud puddle and slowly crawled back to her feet. Her face was covered in mud as she turned to look at the vampire. He was smirking at her before she got up and charged him once again. However he swung his sword knocking hers back. Spinning around she tried to strike him once more only for him to stab her in the gut. He just smirked down at her before pushing her off of the sword.

"Come on dear Carmilla, fight. Fight for your love" he taunted watching as she staggered back to her feet.

Carmilla screamed out as she charged him once more. However he dodged her again. This time swinging his sword up slicing her back open. She screamed out as she fell to her knees. Looking back up at him he smirked and he leaned down to look at her.

"Yield?" He asked looking at her. She screamed out and tried to attack him once more only for him to kick her in the face. The blow knocked her unconscious. He smirked down at her as he motioned the other vampires to collect her. "Pathetic" he said as he made his way back towards the ship they had arrived in. "Dispose of the bodies, no trace we were ever here" he ordered as Estate was brought up next to him. He looked at her as she struggled a bit. "I'm not going to kill you my dear" he said smiling as he stroked her cheek.

Four weeks later

Dracula stood on the deck of the ship looking out across the ocean. The moon shone down on him. He smoked a pipe, watching as smoke rings lifted above his head. Looking back he looked as Estate was brought to him. "The world is much larger than you humans realize. There are creatures out there, things you never imagined. However if there's one thing I've noticed about your kind. You are willing to stand up for what you love. I admire that" he said turning to face her. He looked past her to see the vampires open up the cargo hold. He led her over to it and they looked down into it. Suddenly he pushed her in.

Estate slammed into the deck with a crash. She gasped out in pain as she felt her head start bleeding. Sitting up slowly she looked up to see him looking back down at her. However she heard something a sniffing sound. She looked into the darkness of the hold. There was something that sounded like a scurrying sound. She then noticed a figure shuffling around in the darkness. Her eyes tried to focus on the figure but she couldn't lock onto it.

"Do you know what happens when you starve a vampire for weeks my dear" Dracula called down to her from above. He looked at her as she looked up at him. "They become an animal" he shouted with a smile.

Estate looked up at him eyes wide. There was a deep guttural growl coming from the hold. Looking back, her eyes were full of fear. "Please, don't" she cried, barely above that of a whisper.

Dracula looked down watching as Estate frantically looked around the dark hold. She stood there, her eyes slowly lifting up to look at him. Suddenly she was yanked back into the darkness. He listened to her pleading, her sobs reaching his ears as did a growling. Suddenly her screams cut through the night. Pain filled blood curdling screams followed by the sound of tearing flesh. He watched as she landed in the light, blood covering her white dress. She looked up at him one last time before suddenly being dragged back into the darkness. Her final death scream being abruptly cut off. It was replaced by the sounds of a low growl and tearing flesh. Dracula and the other vampires all stood above looking down watching as blood started flowing across the floor of the hold.

Twenty Minutes Later

Carmilla awoken in a stupor, her vision blurry and her limbs trembling. Getting up she slowly staggered over to the moonlight. Looking up she saw Dracula slowly come into focus. He was smiling at her making her grumble. However Estate quickly filled her mind snapping her head up she looked at him. "Where is Estate?" She called up at him.

"She's with you" he called back to her.

"No she's not, we just left the island. I swear if you hurt her" she threatened watching as he started laughing.

"My dear, we've been at sea for four weeks" he called back to her.

"Listen..." she started, pointing a finger at him however she stopped when she saw her hand was covered in blood. Her eyes slowly moved down her arm to see blood down her arm. There was blood splattered across her chest and some dripping from her chin. Looking down she saw she was standing in a small pool of it. Her eyes slowly drifted over to the corner. Her eyes growing wide as she followed the blood trail. Suddenly she started gasping her eyes wide.

In the corner of the room she saw Estate hunched over. She approached slowly and carefully. Her eyes brimming with tears as she moved closer to her. Slowly her bloody hand reached out for Estate. "Estate?" She questioned softly. Placing her hand on her shoulder she looked at her. Suddenly Estate's body fell backwards her ebony skin now a pale color. Her eyes hollow and empty. Blood was soaked into her dress. Her throat had been ripped out exposing the veins, trachea, and esophagus. Her mouth was open in a final death scream. Carmilla fell backwards in horror as the realization at what she had done slowly set in. Blood tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at the lifeless body.

"Settle in dear Carmilla, we still got two months to get to France" Dracula called down to her as he closed the cover to the cargo hold.

Carmilla sat there in the darkness, staring at the body of Estate. Slowly she crawled forward. Her fingers gently running over the cold skin of her slain lover. She let out a wounded sob as she gently cradled Estate's limp head. Closing her eyes blood tears rolled down her cheeks. "I promised I'd always protect you. I said I'd never let you get hurt. Yet I was the one who killed you. I betrayed your love and trust" she cried softly as she stroked the blood soaked hair. "Please forgive me, forgive me" she cried as she placed a kiss onto Estate's forehead. Her cry turned into a wounded scream for her lost lover. She screamed again echoing loudly throughout the ship. Letting out a final scream it echoed across the darkened ocean.

Carmilla shot up in bed panting heavily, sweat soaking her hair and sheets. The moonlight shone through the window making her pale body glow in the light. Reaching over she looked at her phone to see it was four in the morning. Getting up slowly she walked through her apartment moving out towards a balcony. Opening it up she walked out onto it and looked Paris over. It had been a year since she had defeated her mother and stopped her from unleashing hell on Earth. However out there she knew Dracula and others like him still lived. In a world filled with many different types of immortal beings she knew there were more threats to deal with. However she was done with that war. She just wanted to live in peace, she just wanted to be left alone.

"Carmilla?" A tired voice said from behind her. She glanced back to see a blonde girl walking up behind her. She wore a pair of ladies boxers and a tank top. She walked up to Carmilla and put her arms around her. The woman nuzzled into her shoulders as her arms wrapped around her waist. "Can't sleep?" She asked softly.

"No Laura, bad dreams again" Carmilla responded looking back out over the city.

"What about this time?" Laura asked her head rested against Carmilla's back.

"When I killed Estate" Carmilla responded softly as she lowered her head.

Laura was silent for a bit. Slowly she lifted her head up to look at Carmilla who looked back to her. "That was a long time ago. You've come a long way since then" she said offering her a little smile. "I mean look at how you stopped your mother. Now you're here with me. In Paris, the city of love. You're not that vampire any more" Laura offered looking at her.

"That was my mother Laura. Dracula is far worse than her. I'm never going to do that again. I will never harm you. I swear it" she said turning to face Laura.

"I know you won't. I also know you will protect me. You've done that quite a bit already" she said smiling up at Carmilla.

"I love you" Carmilla said looking at her.

"I love you" Laura said kissing her. "Now come on, let's go back to bed" she said leading her back into the apartment.
