A/N: This was written for the 200! Prompt! Battle! over at femslash100 on Livejournal. The prompt was- Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles - Cameron/Sarah – broken

-o0o-

Sarah feels her breath hitch in her throat as she opens the garage door.

Cameron looks up at the intrusion, right hand poised over her left as she holds the blood stained scalpel in her hand. She cocks her head to the side, studying the raven haired woman as her eyes remain glued to the box of T-888 machinery lying next to the brunette.

"What are you doing?" The question is unnecessary, but Sarah asks it anyway, needing to hear the machine's answer.

"My arm is malfunctioning." Cameron states, as if it's that simple. "It needs to be fixed."

Sarah's stomach flips at the girl's uncomplicated answer, knowing that that what this means will be anything but. She closes the door behind her as she leaves the garage, feeling that Cameron isn't the only broken one as the fear she's held at bay for all these years finally consumes her.
