Chapter 4

Carmilla watched as the girl she has been crushing on walks out of their room to meet up with her father who buried her alive so that she would wither away and die. She stands there for a moment before she can hear a deep voice on the other side of the door. Soon after a soft and delicate voice followed, sounding a little frantic, and rambling on about something. LaF gets up and puts their ear to the door.

"I think I can hear them." They whisper. Carmilla's heart pounds in her chest as she waits to hear what is being said through LaFontaine's mouth.

"I told you not to get attached and you directly disobeyed me… I didn't bring you here so you could be fuck buddies with the food Laura…" LaF looks back at Carmilla with a questioning look and The taller girl shakes her head at her. A small pit of firs started up in her belly as she thought of Laura being with anyone else.

"I am just trying to find the right one daddy. I don't want to give you a trash girl… I don't think this one would be worth it, she is unsanitary." The jealousy in Carmilla quickly turned into rage. She bends down and whispers in LaF's ear.

'What the hell does she mean trash?' LaFontaine pushes Carmilla back a bit, wanting to be able to hear every detail of the conversation on the other side of the door.

"If you fail me again I will do worse than ground you girl. You have disappointed me once. Don't do it again…. Yes daddy, I will prepare one for you soon." LaF hears footsteps and quickly hops up, knocking Carmilla over, and running to the safety of their lover. The girl on the floor gets ready to get up when the door opens up and Laura comes tumbling in after tripping over a leather booted foot. Everything happened in a blur, before they knew what had happened, Laura was now between Carmilla's legs and the two had their faces less than an inch away from each other.

"Uh… I'm sorry I was just trying to…" Laura cuts her off and quickly scrambles to her feet.

"No, it was my fault. I really am a crappy vampire right? No kind of balance at all, ha right?" If her face could turn anymore red it would look as if it were on fire. The brunette holds out her hand, offering to help pick the girl on the floor up.

"No, I am fine. I have had enough embarrassment for the night. I don't need to make it any worse by being helped by the worth vampire in the world." Carmilla stands up and walks out of the room. The vampire turns to the two humans on Carmilla's bed and they both shrug.

"I don't know she seemed kind of upset by what you and your dad discussed." Laura's eyes grew larger.

"No, she wasn't supposed to hear that, I was just trying to keep father from killing her." She starts to head out the door when Perry stops her.

"Just give her some time. She just needs to go somewhere and think. Don't worry about her. She most likely won't be back until after the sun rises again. She likes to look at the stars." Laura steps back into the room and sits on her bed.

"Do you think I have ruined things between the two of us?" LaF chuckles a bit.

"I highly doubt it. Plus, you are sweet enough to cause cavities." Perry elbows LaF.

"I meant for Carm sweet heart. You know you are the only one I have eyes for." They kiss Perry's nose and they both smile.

"I just don't want to mess up and get her hurt." Perry places a hand on Laura's shoulder and smiles at her warmly.

"You will be okay. I promise."

(Later that night)

Laura wakes up to find that she can't move her arms of legs. She pulls but they are restrained by some kind of rope. She looks up and sees cloves of garlic tied to her wrists and looks down to find a matching pair for her ankles. She is firmly tied to her bed in the middle of the night, how could this get any worse? She hears someone clear their throat.

"So you think I am trash?" Laura's heart dropped at the sound of the sadness on the human's voice.

"No, please understand that I didn't mean anything I had said." She can't see the girl but she can hear her coming from above her. She must be on the window sill again.

"You sure did sound like you meant it." She can hear shifting against the wood of the floor.

"Carm, I swear on everything that I am that I did it to keep you safe. I don't want anything to happen to you. I was trying to convince my father that you were not worth taking. It wasn't that I thought you were unworthy, I just didn't want anyone else to have you." Carmilla walks over and sits on the edge of Laura's bed.

"What do you mean when you say you didn't want anyone else to have me?" Laura gives her a worried look.

"Promise you won't think too much about it?" Carmilla nods her head.

"Yes now come on out with it. I never thought it would be this hard to get you to talk." She chuckles at herself.

"When I drank your blood I felt something different from when I normally do when drinking human blood. When I drink humans I normally feel a rage, almost like something in me snaps and I just don't want to stop hunting. When I drank from you I felt calm, so calm that I felt like I could sit like that forever and never be bothered by anything. I hadn't felt anything that close to real happiness since I was a human. I wanted to keep my teeth in your blood stream and my lips on your skin." By the time Laura was done talking Carmilla's face was a light pink. She turns away from Laura so she couldn't see her.

"So you are saying you just want me because I taste good. What kind of selfish motive is that?" Carmilla crosses her legs and her arms across her chest.

"I'm not the one who got wet while listening to me explain why I want you to myself." She raises one of her eye brows and Carmilla huffs. The human stands and goes to the head of the bed.

"At least I'm not the one sniffing people." She murmurs to herself.

"At least I'm not the one tying people up to question them. I would probably do it, but I would choose a more appropriate area to tie someone up, maybe somewhere a little less sexual." Carmilla rolls her eyes and starts untying the vampire. Once Laura was freed she sits up and watches the human girl put the ropes and garlic away, shocked that she was actually putting it away and not just throwing it on the floor.

"I am impressed you aren't just throwing it on the floor." Carmilla scoffs.

"Bite me Bambi." Laura laughs at the irony of that statement.

"So what can we do about your father wanting to take me as his blood bag?" Laura gets serious and goes to the desk.

"We are going to need to find out what he is doing with them first. He wouldn't just collect girls just to feed off all of them in one night, and it is too much of a hassle to keep them under lock and key. We have to figure out his motive for doing this. First place we need to look is in the library. My father kept a room that was off limits to people of the campus but I can get in there." Carmilla just watches as the girl goes rummaging through her stuff looking for something. Laura bends over and opens up her school back pack. She then hears Carmilla's heart beat faster. She takes a mirror from her emergency make up back and uses it to spot the human checking out her ass.

"Haven't you ever heard that staring is rude?" she snickers when Carmilla looks away. Finally she finds the flash light she was looking for and stands up.

"Okay, are you ready to go? It's going to be dark where we are going." Carmilla crosses her arms across her chest and puts her weight on one leg, leaning to the left.

"I thought that vampires could see in the dark?" Laura throws the flash light to her.

"Yes, but humans can't." A knock on the door catches there attention and they see LaFontaine poke their head in.

"Hey I heard you guys are going on an adventure. Can I come?" the two girls look at each other in confusion.

"How did you know that?" Laura questions.

"I heard you guys all the way down the hall way. You two talk loud as hell. I can't even imagine what you guys would be like having… a screaming match…" Carmilla glares at LaF and they shrug.

"Sure you can come with us. Are you good with electronics?" LaF chuckles as the question.

"I am good at just about everything I do." with that answer they all head out to the library.
