The Dean left with Will after she figured Carmilla wouldn't wake up in the next few minutes, but wanted me to contact her when she woke up. So that she could come back and take me after I talked to Carmilla. Which, by the way, I still don't like. She betrayed me, so what would I have to say to her? After the Dean left, I looked over at the unconscious girl. She had several wounds. Lots of gashes were on her arms and face. Her face had the most damage though, even with the gashes. She had a long scratch that went from her eyebrow all the way down to her chin. Now that I was alone, I just wanted to go over and comfort her, but then reality hit me. Carmilla wasn't the person I thought she was, nor will she ever be. All she knows how to do is lie and lie again. She will never be capable of speaking the truth.
"C-cupcake? Why are you still here? I thought mother would've taken you by now. It's what she did with Ell. No goodbyes. Mother hates goodbyes. Why won't you believe me? I've never lied to you. Ever. Mother took everything from me, so why would I give you to her? I don't want you away from me, in fact, I want you by my side forever. I'm a vampire, remember?" She asked, weakly. I rolled my eyes, but looked to where she was lying. Carmilla was still on the ground, but was moving her hands to help her get off the ground. I kept hearing her wince in pain, so I quickly ran over and placed both my hands on one of her arms and gently pulled her up. She's heavier than she looks. After she was finally able to stand by herself, I stepped away from her.
"Why should I believe you? Your mother is the only reasonable person around here! You always run off to God knows where, why should I believe that you don't go to her?"
"Ask LaF," she mumbled.
"I'm sorry, what now?"
"I always go talk to LaF when we have an argument. I've never been to mother. Every time I see her, I get tortured. Which is what I thought was going to happen today when Betty found out that I cared for you and ratted me out to Mother. Instead, mother was trying to make me out to be the bad guy. And I guess it worked because of the way you're staring at me. Like I just said that I have never heard of Doctor Who or Harry Potter and that I never wanted to.."
That was fair enough. But only because that was pretty much exactly how I was looking at her. I just don't know who to believe. She must've read my mind because she walked closer to me, and handed me her phone. The last person she messaged was LaF, and the messages showed that she really did care for me. At that moment, I forgot everything her mother said for me to do, and I hugged her. It didn't last long though because I had new questions in store.
"Wait. So you were turned into a giant black cat to save me? Wow Carm. Guess I'm pretty important to you huh?"
She glared at me, but in a teasing way. "You're killing me Hollis."
"I bet. Oh! We should probably head out of here now before she finds out that I believe you and not her." She nodded her head and grabbed my hand and we ran to our dorm.
Carmilla's POV
When we arrived, I opened the door and lied down on my bed. Too bad I totally forgot about the pain. Laura quickly ran over to me, and gave me a concerned look. I smiled and said, "Dont worry about me. I'll be healed in the morning. Vampires are fast healers. Trust me." She dropped the concern after a couple minutes when she knew I was telling the truth. I never want mother to come between us again. I could've lost everything. Well, Laura. I could've lost Laura. Hopefully mother lets me off with a warning and doesn't harm me for awhile. I need to just spend time with the most amazing roommate ever.
"So, why did you go to Betty?"
"To thank her..."
"Well, even though it was a nice thought, never go to her again," I warned.
"Don't worry, I don't think I ever will."
"Good. Now could you please get over here and cuddle with your vampire?"
"With pleasure." She got onto the bed, and curled up next to me. Her left hand grabbing tightly at my shirt. "Laura? What's bothering you?"
"I don't want anything to happen to you. Not because of me."
"Nothing is going to happen. I'll be here, with you, forever." Proving this statement, I kissed her with as much passion as I could. She returned the kiss, and placed her head on my chest. I wish it could be like this forever. Just her and I, comfortable. But that's not how the world works and I have to live with that. Great.
