So buckle in and get ready for one hell of a ride. Please R&R thanks.
Rated M: for strong graphic violence, strong sexual content, and strong language.

Chapter Two
Laura's eyes slowly opened as she felt the gentle strokes of Carmilla's fingers on her cheek. Yawning she stretched her arms as she sat up in her chair. Looking over she looked at Carmilla as she smiled softly at her. Leaning over she kissed her softly and tenderly. "Are we at Seattle?" Laura asked in a sleepy tone.
"We're on approach" Carmilla responded looking at her.
"What time is it?" Laura asked.
"Four in the morning" the vampire responded looking out the window as the plane banked towards the airport. "Who's all meeting us?"
"Perry and Laf" Laura said as the plane jolted from touchdown.
Carmilla smiled a bit, feeling good to finally be back in the states. She had been away for almost twenty years. Now she was back to the country that felt like home. Ever since vampires and werewolves had been unveiled to the world, the United States was the country that seemed most accepting of them. They didn't look down on them or treated them as lesser beings. The plane came to a stop and they started getting their things from the overhead storage. Exiting the plane both moved towards baggage claim and got their bags. Once they had all their luggage they moved towards the escalators and rode them down.
"Laura, Carm" they heard two voices shouting.
Both looked to see two people waving at them. Laura waved back, an excited and joyful look on her face. Carmilla just gave a small smile and wave. The woman with the curly brown hair raced over to them. Laura came off the escalator first and wrapped her in a hug both smiling and laughing.
"Perry, I've missed you" Laura said joyfully as she hugged the woman tightly.
"And we've missed you two, right Laf" Perry said looking back to the other one.
"Yeah, we totally missed you" they said with a smile. Lafontaine had short cut hair that had been dyed. It had a light red color to it and was longer on the left side. They were Perry's best friend having been friends for a long time even before the events At Silas.
Laura hugged Lafontaine and smiled before going back to Carmilla and holding her close. She smiled inwardly, finally home with her friends. She would get her chance to spend time with them without crazy monsters or insane vampire woman. She looked as Perry, so eager to help grabbed one of their bags. However the bag didn't budge making her grunt.
"What's in here, rocks?" She asked trying to move the bag.
"My books" Carmilla said picking the bag up with ease.
"Well you two must need some time to rest, we set up a spare bedroom at our apartment for you two" Lafontaine said as the group started walking out of the airport.
"Great, we can crash there for tonight" Laura said smiling as they walked up to a car.
"What about the rest of your time here?" Perry asked looking back to her.
"Carm owns a house on the outskirts of the city" Laura responded looking over to the vampire.
Carmilla however wasn't paying attention. Her eyes were focused back into the airport. She saw him, the same man she saw in Ireland. He was standing at the top of the escalators looking right at her. He was smiling down at her. Her body had gone rigid as she stared at the man. Just then she watched as people walked through him making him disappear.
"Carmilla?" Laura asked as she looked in the direction she had looked. "What is it?"
"It's just jet lag" Carmilla said shaking her head. "Let's go home" she said turning back to the others.

They arrived at the house and Perry led them in. Taking them downstairs they were shown a pullout bed for them to sleep on. In no time they were both in their sleeping clothes and laying out in bed. Carmilla laid on her back, her eyes focused on the ceiling above. She knew she was loosing it, she was seeing Dracula where he wasn't. However she couldn't understand why she was seeing him now after all the years of this never happening before. Slowly her eyes started to close and sleep over took her.
Carmilla's eyes opened the next afternoon to see she was alone in the bed. Sitting up slowly she yawned as she kicked her feet over the side of the bed. Getting up she walked upstairs to find Laura doing another vlog. She moved to the fridge and grabbed a bag of blood and started drinking it. Walking up to be behind Laura she looked as they all took notice of her.
"It's about time you woke up" Laura said smiling at her.
"What time is it?" Carmilla asked looking at them.
"Five" Lafontaine answered.
"Damn, I was tired. Well, we're going clubbing tonight, I know a good place" Carmilla said before taking a big gulp of her blood.
"Umm, okay" Perry said watching as Carmilla looked at her.
"What's the matter, afraid of a little fun?" Carmilla challenged looking at her.
"No, I just think after your long trip you two should rest" Perry said making Carmilla smirk.
"After everything that happened last year we didn't get a chance to celebrate. We should" Carmilla said with a shrug.
Laura looked at Carmilla and nodded in agreement. Deciding it would be a good idea they each got dressed up in nice clothes and prepared to go out on the town. Carmilla drove, driving to downtown Seattle. They stopped in front of a club, the lights of the club filling the night sky. Carmilla looked at herself. She wore a pair of black leather pants that hugged her hips tightly. She wore a white cold shoulder V-neck. She had gold and silver bracelets on. Her final touch was a necklace from Estate on that had been given to her when they first started being together. There were also dog tags on the necklace that she got a few years back. Laura walked up next to her and she wore a purple spaghetti strapped dress. She had her hair pulled back into a tight ponytail. She wore a pair of stiletto high heels.
Perry fell in behind them wearing a floral dress. She had her hair curled more and her makeup shined in the lights of the club. Her hands gripped onto her purse as she struggled to keep up with Carmilla and Laura. Lafontaine was Last in the group their outfit consisted of a button down plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. They wore a nice pair of black slacks.
"So, how do you plan on getting us into this high end club?" Lafontaine asked making Carmilla look back.
"I got my ways" Carmilla said smirking.
"Hold it" a bouncer said holding up his hand.
"We're going in there" Carmilla responded looking at the man.
"Not a fucking chance in hell" he chuckled looking at her.
"No" Carmilla chuckled looking back at the group. "Get your manager for me he'll set this straight" she said crossing her arms.
"Come on Carmilla, let's just go" Laura whispered to Carmilla only for her to just raise her hand to him.
The bouncer just stared at her before getting on the radio in his ear. He talked for a few seconds before the manager showed up. The bouncer whispered into his ear and then pointed at Carmilla and her group. The manager's eyes shot wide as he looked at Carmilla. Then the bouncer's eyes went wide too. Both shot over to the group.
"I am so sorry Miss Carmilla" the manager said looking at her. "The bouncer will be fired for treating you and your group like that."
"No, don't, in fact... give him a raise. He did a good job" she said walking into the club leading the others in. She smirked up at the bouncer and patted him on the shoulder.
"You didn't tell me you owned a club" Laura said walking with Carmilla.
"You never asked" Carmilla said smirking as they walked up to the VIP lounge. They sat in padded chairs a personal bar tender pouring drinks for the group.
"Where are Wilson and JP?" Laura called over the loud music.
"Wilson is still busy searching for Danny. As for JP, not sure he never texted me back" Lafontaine called back to her.
"Well, hopefully he finds her again" Laura called as she looked over to Carmilla.
Four shots were placed in front of them and three prepared to do the shot however Carmilla raised her hand making them stop. "This shot, this shot is for remembrance of all those lost last year. As well as the ones we loved and lost" she said raising the glass up.
The others looked at each other and then to her. Raising their glasses up they clanked them together. Downing the shot they all lowered their heads remembering all who had died at Silas. Carmilla stood up and walked over to the balcony and looked as people danced below them. She felt arms wrap around her waist making her glance back. She looked into Laura's eyes and smiled at her. Taking her hand she led her down to the dance floor. They started dancing to the beat of the music as they danced they clung tightly to one another. As they danced their eyes were close together. Their lips met as the music continued to fill them.
They danced around the floor for a bit before they went back up to the lounge. They looked to see Perry and Lafontaine were starting to get tipsy a bit. Carmilla smiled a bit. One advantage of being a vampire, alcoholic drinks have no effect on her. She sat down in her seat, another drink was handed to her. However she froze. On the serving tray she saw a photograph. It was one of her and Laura. They were sleeping in their bed in Paris. She looked at it before looking around. Moving up to the balcony she looked over the dance floor but she couldn't see anyone that stood out to her.
"Carmilla?" Laura asked in a drunken slur.
"Hey" Carmilla said back to her before looking back out over the dance floor.
"Everything okay?" Laura asked watching as Carmilla nodded a bit. "Okay, I think it's time to go. Laf is dancing on the table" Laura said drunkenly pointing back.
Carmilla looked back to see Lafontaine was indeed dancing on the table. She looked down at the picture one last time before stuffing it into her pocket. They made their way out of the club and over to their car. Carmilla climbed into the driver's seat and looked as the others drunkenly laughed and joked. Getting back to the house they walked in Perry and Lafontaine making their ways to their bedrooms. Carmilla helped Laura back to their bed.
"I love you so much" Laura said hanging on Carmilla.
"I love you too" Carmilla responded smirking as she held onto Laura. She looked as Laura pulled her dress off and climbed into the bed. "Don't you want your sleeping clothes?"
"No, this is comfortable. Are you coming to bed?" Laura asked looking back to her.
"In a bit" Carmilla responded moving back up the steps. She walked out onto the porch and looked across the block. She didn't see anyone moving around. Looking down she pulled the picture out of her pocket. Looking at it she sighed before tearing the picture up. She was sure Dracula was just screwing with her. Dropping the torn picture it was swept away from her by a gust of wind. Turning she walked back inside and downstairs. She looked to Laura who was passed out on the bed. Slowly she climbed into bed with her. Wrapping her arms around her she kissed her softly before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Carmilla stood in front of her house. She looked as Laura sat her bags down on the steps. Laura prepared to go in but stopped when she saw Carmilla still standing at the bottom of the steps. She was staring up at the house her eyes focused on the building in front of her.
"Carm?" Laura asked gaining her attention.
"It's been a long time since I've been here" Carmilla responded walking up next to her.
Laura leaned over and kissed her softly. "I'm right here with you" she said smiling at her as Carmilla opened the door.
However both froze, their eyes looking forward into the house. Their eyes were wide as they slowly stepped inside. They looked around to see pictures, hundreds of pictures all hanging from strings. Reaching up Carmilla turned one to look at it. She saw it was a picture of Laura at Silas. The picture next to it was a picture of herself. She looked as Laura moved through the pictures. Her eyes scanning each of them as she walked through them. The further she moved she saw many different pictures. It slowly started to sink in these were pictures of them on their travels. She stopped when one turned around. She froze her eyes wide and the blood draining from her face. It was a compromising picture of her and Carmilla during sex. Looking around she saw the pictures around her were all pictures of them performing sexual acts. She wrapped her arms around herself trying to protect herself from something. Like she felt like someone was watching her. Turning she froze when she looked at the wall above the bed. There was something written in what appeared to be blood.
"Carmilla" she called back into the house. Looking back she watched as Carmilla joined her. Both looked at the wall before them. Written across the wall was the phrase; All Dues Must Be Paid.
