Somewhere in Toronto, Canada. A broody lesbian vampire wakes up from her slumber late in the morning, pulls herself up from the king-size bed and heads towards the kitchen to make some coffee. From the utensils and dishes left in the sink, she figures out her girlfriend must have eaten and has left for work. After pouring some coffee to herself, she heads back to her bedroom to read the novel her girlfriend gifted her the previous day. "The Second Sex"- a book written by Simone de Beauvoir. After the hustle and party last night, she didn't get any time to read the book. The Scooby gang had gathered again for a much needed get together so a party was inevitable. Finally, she starts opening up the wrapper and wonders, when did Laura get so meticulous in wrapping stuff.

After unwrapping, Carmilla finds a letter inside the book. It says,

Dear Carmilla,

You might be surprised to find this letter in this novel I gifted you. You know, I'm not the one who does grand gestures, it is you who does them. But I thought I could prove you wrong by writing this to you.

Without further ado, I bring back to you, the memories.

It all started with a 'Hey' and 'Who the hell are you?' It always starts like that. With a slight tension from both sides. In our case, it ended up with pissing each other off to our heart's content. Underneath it all, and I won't deny it, was sexual tension ;)

Appearance is a factor if not the most important one. Sometimes the appearance of a person can be quite appealing to one and at the same time it could be setting another off. This difference determines the taste or liking of every individual. For me, you have been the most appealing and attractive woman I have ever laid my eyes on since the moment you barged into my room. The long wavy hair, alabaster skin, sharp jawlines and teeth as white as pearls. Dark brown eyes which hold a certain gravity and penetrates through the layers of my façade and reaches my soul, lips as red as tulip; to simply put it, your beauty is divine and I can't help but admire you more every day.

During our first year in Silas, I don't know if you have any clue about it but I used to observe you silently sitting in the corner of the room (sometimes sulking) and reading novels mostly light and frothy. I used to wonder amidst all those chaos how you can be so calm. Sometimes time and centuries of experience make a person, a vampire in this case, to have much patience, calm and sanity at the point of ruckus. Being a person of reckless nature, it was hard for me to understand. So, I was kinda amazed by you.

Seduction is an art and you're top notch at it. I mean the way you can woo a girl is something which ordinary people can't(No pun intended). Now, why am I pointing out this? Because the first time I ever found myself vulnerable yet wanted was when I was at your complete mercy during the stupid zeta party. I swear to God that was the first time I ever felt desired. And your dress. I don't even have to point out how hot you were looking in the corset.

I won't deny to you but 'being a vampire' has a certain appeal. So the moment you were caught as a vampire, I was definitely raging and low-key trying to figure out if you were into me:P

The first time we kissed, don't even remind me the past few days before that. How agonizing those days were for me. Your absence was piercing me like an arrow. But the moment I saw you again and realized that you're okay, I couldn't help myself. If I could, I would kiss you again and again and again just to make sure that you were real, that you were actually standing right next to me. And yes, no doubt, that kiss was magical. It felt like coming back home.

Sometime during the news channel broadcasts and Mattie's entrance in our lives, I realized that the only purpose of your life was to keep me safe. You might be calm on the exterior but the inner turmoil was eating you up. You always saved me from danger- be it your mother, your sister or even from yourself. And then, you admitted, that what makes any person sacred to another. "Love. To annoy or not, to love or not. To save… or not. Over a century, you're the only person I ever found worth saving." Yes, I'm quoting your words but what can I do. Every single time, I recall, it brings bittersweet tears to my eyes.

I did stupid things. I pushed you so hard to become a person you were not. I broke your trust. I lost everything. And truth be told, I still regret the loss we had to endure. Although, you have told me not to. In any case, the good thing is I learned so much from everything. Life is not that simple. It is not all black and white. It involves grey areas too. And it is much convoluted than the fairy tales and folklores had to offer us during our childhood times.

And now here we are, destiny had to rekindle our love for each other. That love gave me the strength to fight your mother and the ghost of your former girlfriend. That love gave me the courage to love you too much and to abandon the fear of losing. That love made me the person who I am today. So with infinite respect and unconditional love, I am asking you, Ms. Carmilla Karnstein, Will you marry me?

Whatever be your answer, you have to know that I will love you forever. That I will be by your side, always, whenever you need me.

Yours only,

Laura (Cupcake)
