Chapter 1338

Made Her Move

John dressed himself and combed his hair. He thought he looked presentable. He knew that Cameron went to help Allison. He was unsure how long that would take. He looked around the room some and then went out onto the balcony. The balcony door was still open as it had been for much of the voyage. He felt the fresh ocean air gave him a little extra edge in the bedroom.

The air was a little brisk when he went outside. There was now a noticeable up and down movement of the ship as well as some side to side motion. It was not too bad right now but it was more than it had been on the trip so far. Cameron warned him before about getting seasick. He thought she was being over cautious at the time but maybe not. He took the pill just to keep her from getting stressed out. He remembered on some of the videos he watched that people said you needed to take the anti-seasick medicine which was basically 'motion sickness medicine' before you got seasick. Once you were seasick. It was too late.

As he looked out the balcony door he could see the horizon rise and fall. The wind seemed to pick up. He went back inside the room but left the balcony door open. The fresh air was nice even if it was a little chilled.

John looked over at the door to the connecting spare bedroom. It currently served as the Control Center for this trip. Maybe he could spend a few minutes in there and get caught up on what happened with operations. He could check to see if anything new happened in the last few days. Cameron had purposely kept him insulated from all the activities. She told him he was on vacation.

He looked back out the open balcony door and then he reached for the door handle to the Control Center.

Cameron was satisfied that Allison was squared away and as pretty as she could be. She thought they both looked very much the same. That was not something that happened very often.

She headed back towards the Owners' Suite. John should almost be ready. When she reached the door she paused. She decided to visit the Honeymoon Suite instead and see how the Metal girls were doing. She wanted to make sure Ally was going to be available for later on tonight. She still had one virgin chassis to deliver to John as herself. She smiled at the thought. She was sure that Holly's chassis and Gail's chassis were previously untouched since they were never under the control of Skynet and they were created as Restorators by Mrs. Weaver.

As far as Sheila, Hanna, Cam and Ally she did not know. There was a good chance they may be been Metal Whores before they were captured or been on missions where sexual relation may have been required. One thing for sure was that since their sheaths were Resequenced into their present appearance, they were all virgins.

That left her. She was still afraid that she may have been compromised by Future John or when she was captured by the Resistance. She was the one who may have been a Metal Whore. She'd tried to find out one way or the other and never got the answers she sought. It was very troubling.

Cameron felt a glitch impulse in her left hand. She needed to stop thinking about the past, the future. What may or may not have been done to her and erased was unchangeable. There was no fixing that. Not without more timelines and she would still be the same either way. That left her to assume the worst.

She was startled by someone who appeared next to her.

"Is everything alright?" Jim asked.

Cameron looked at him for a few seconds.

"I'm fine." Cameron said.

Jim reached down and lifted her left hand for her to see. It glitched wildly.

"I'm not so sure about that." Jim said.

Cameron pulled her hand away from him and moved it behind her back. She could still feel it as it glitched behind her.

"I'm fine." Cameron said.

Jim wondered where she was going. She'd stopped at the door to the Owner's Suite and then at the door to the Honeymoon Suite. She was now at the door to exit the private area. That would take her outside the secure area and into the hall with the regular suites. Going out and mixing with the passengers in her current condition seemed like a bad idea. That is why he went to her.

Jim gently took her right arm and led her back to the Control Center. She went along without any protest. He'd sent a message to Gail-Cam to have Vanna meet him in the Control Center. He thought Vanna would be able to calm her. Vanna was 'Savannah Weaver' after all.

John hesitated to open the door to the Control Center. He released the handle and thought about it. Cameron wanted him to have a good time and not worry about anything.

John checked the time and they still had almost twenty minutes until dinner. He could just see what was happening around the base and make sure everyone who went back earlier was doing all right. What could that hurt?

John opened the door and walked inside.

He saw Cameron right away. She was bent over slightly as she looked at the monitors. She seemed not to notice him. He figured she would have at least looked. For a few seconds he was worried that maybe she was having a problem. There was no indication of that earlier. He looked at her left hand. He did not see any glitch.

Now he wondered what she looked at so intently. Maybe there was a problem. Savannah and Cammy could be in a jam somewhere. He really hoped they'd been able to take it easy for a few days.

He moved up behind Cameron and reached around from behind and gently began to squeeze her breasts. He wanted to give her a pleasant surprise.

Cameron instantly stood up straight and stiffened. Her hands shot up to his. He thought she was going to pull them off. Her head cranked around and looked back at him. There was no smile on her face.

He went to move his hands away, instead she held them there. A smile appeared on her face and her hands encouraged his to resume what they were doing.

"You really know how to greet a girl." She said.

John was used to doing that to Cameron when he thought no one was around. She never resisted or said anything bad about it. That was always a 'green light' to him.

"I know what you like." John said. "Maybe I should say you know what I like and allow me to do it."

"I'd have to say that was the case." She said. "I do like it though."

John's hands now gently ran down her sides and over the shape of her figure. The earlier stiffness that occurred was replaced by a more relaxed feeling. He could tell she wanted to be touched more.

His hands continued their journey around her figure as he kissed her neck. She reached up with one hand and moved her hair off to the side so he could nuzzle her neck easier. There was something that began to click in his head. It just wasn't sticking. He was excited about touching Cameron right now.

He ran his hands around her front and across her belly. They paused there for a few moments. Both of her hands came up and held his there. He went to continue his hand's journey around her body but she held his hands on her lower belly.

Something was different.

The door opened from the connecting door of the Master Suite and Hanna walked in. She looked perfect like only a Metal girl could.

"I got here as fast as I could." 'Hanna' said.

She stopped half way in the room and looked at the two figures by the monitors. She looked confused.

"I'm sorry." 'Hanna' said as she turned to leave.

"Wait, Vanna." Allison said. "I was just having John touch his child."

John pulled his hands immediately off of Allison. It hit him like a sledge hammer. It was the neck port. That's what was missing. He knew it could not have healed that fast. The tether was only plugged in there a few hours ago. Was it even that long ago?

Allison moved and stood next to John.

"It's too early to feel anything on this one." Allison said. "It is in there though thanks to you. I really want to have a baby. I'm proud to have it be your baby, John."

John was at a loss for words right now.

"I'm glad I could help." John said with great difficulty.

John knew that was all Cameron's doing.

Vanna looked at them with some trepidation.

"Where is Cameron?" Vanna asked.

"I came to wait for her until you could arrive." Allison said. "Here we are."

There was some talking in the room Vanna just exited from.

"It sounds like she is back in there." Vanna said.

John wanted to refocus everyone. It sounded lame when he tried.

"I want to say that you both look stunning." John said.

Vanna smiled at him.

"Thank you." Vanna said. "You look nice too."

Vanna went back into the spare bedroom of the Master Suite. She looked back at Allison as she did.

"Thank you, John." Allison said. "I need to go."

Allison smiled at him and gently touched his cheek. She turned to leave.

John wanted to explain what happened. It was an honest mistake.

"Allison…." John started.

Allison paused. She came back to John. She moved her lips close to his ear.

"It'll be our secret." Allison whispered.

John felt her lips gently touch his cheek.

She smiled at him again and winked once as she followed after Vanna.

John looked in that direction for a few seconds and decided to retreat back to his suite. He was unsure what to say or do at this point. He'd thought it was Cameron. Allison did not identify herself. He was sure no human could tell the difference. Then again Vanna knew.

His hand touched his cheek once he was back inside the Owner's Suite. He ran to the bathroom to make sure there was no lipstick on his cheek. He remembered when he was busted the last time that happened. Cameron knew what happened. It was written all over her face. He would never forget that look on her face as he went up the stairs. He should not have rubbed it in her face and smirked at her.

John was going to use a wash cloth to make sure his cheek was clean. He looked at the white wash cloth and set it down for now. He figured Cameron would find that. He grabbed some toilet paper and wiped his cheek off. There was a hint of red. John threw the toilet paper in the toilet and flushed it. He took some more and cleaned the area better. He made sure it was all flushed down the toilet.

John was scared and thrilled by what happened at the same time. Allison felt exactly like Cameron's and Cam's sheath. He could not tell the difference. Right now she looked exactly like they did too.

He checked the time. It was still sixteen minutes until dinner.

Jim led Cameron back towards the Control Center. Before he went out to stop Cameron he called Gail-Cam and asked if she could send Vanna into the Control Center. He wanted to have her there when he brought Cameron in. That way they'd be able to deal with the problem out of the way.

When they reached the Control Center door Cameron did not want to go there.

"I want to see Allison." Cameron said.

Jim wondered if he should have called for Allison instead of Vanna.

"Let's go in the Control Center and I can get her." Jim said.

He tried to get her to enter the Control Center again. That seemed to agitate her.

Cameron brushed him off and headed for the Master Suite.

"Allison is in The Master Suite." Cameron said.

Jim hurried after her.

Cameron entered the Master Suite. There was no one there. They were all in the spare bedroom of the Master suite.

Cameron went there as Jim followed her. He still needed to make sure there was no problem. It was a toss up at this point.

Earlier:

Gail-Cam received the call from Jim asking her to send Vanna to the Control Center. She said she would. They hadn't finished working on her makeup yet.

Vanna heard one side of the call.

"What did Jim want?" Vanna asked.

It seemed pretty straight forward to Gail-Cam

"He wants you to go to the Control Center and talk with Cameron." Gail-Cam said.

Holly did not want an interruption. Not now anyway.

"We're not done with her makeup yet." Holly said. "I want to help make her perfect first. We will be done very soon."

Allison was finished and just watching at this point. She was all ready. She headed for the Control Center.

"I'll go." Allison said as she left.

Vanna wondered what this was about.

"I'll be right there." Vanna called after her.

Vanna watched Allison from the 'rear view'. She looked hot and tight in that dress.

Vanna was not sure what she'd walked into when she entered the Control Center. John may have been touching Allison's baby in her belly but why did it look like he was kissing her neck? She knew that Allison looked like Cameron right now down to the last detail and identical jewelry. She wondered if Allison pulled a 'fast one' on John. She did not think any human other than herself could tell Cameron from Allison at this point. Well, Savannah, Young Allison and Summer would be able to. They weren't here. She was.

Both Allison and her tried to 'be with' John many times in the past and over the years. It was what Cameron all but 'ordered' them to do. They tried. They also loved John too and wanted to do it for themselves. They both wanted to have a child if they could and they wanted traditional conceptions. They wanted it to be a loving matter. They later had to settle for artificial conceptions. All of Vanna's failed. She stopped trying. It was too painful to keep failing. Everyone one those failures was a 'dead child' for all practical purposes. That is what it made her feel like. Jesse stopped trying too. Allison was the only one to keep trying.

Vanna was a little surprised to learn that Cameron stripped all the Metal girls of their virginity by taking control of their chassis. She was just as surprised when Cam agreed to do it as well. She did not want Cam to do that but could see that Cam wanted to try it. From experience she knew it was better if Cam had a choice, even if Cameron was the one who did it and shared the file in real time. Maybe they thought this was their only chance to have relations with John even if Cameron was the one really did it. Cameron promised all of the Metal girls they could try it 'one time' on their own with John later on. Vanna doubted that would ever happen.

She was unsure if Allison 'played' John or just let him think she was Cameron. Maybe it was both. Cameron did not say it outright but she did indicate she would like Allison or her to be with John on this trip at least one time. It looked like Allison made the first move. She would have to up her game. She wanted to be with John too and actually have a choice for once. She wanted to be the one to make the choice just once. Just one time would be good enough for her. Previously every male that took her was done against her will. She knew that was Savannah's place in the future to be at John's side with Young Allison.

Cameron already used Hanna's chassis so John already knew what she looked like and felt like. For all practical purposes he'd already been with 'her'.

Vanna decided to watch Allison and match her moves. She wondered if John was with Jesse or Claire when they were on board. Nobody mentioned it if they were. Maybe she would ask Hanna if Cameron was able to get Claire or Jesse in John's bed. She knew both of them would without hesitation. She was aware that John's 'experience' with Jesse and Claire would be totally different. They each sought something different and each excelled on different things.

Allison caught up to her. She looked as guilty as Hell.

Cameron felt fine. She hoped Jim would stop following her. It wasn't like she was going to try and kill anyone.

Wait.

That is what he was worried about.

Cameron looked at Jim.

"I'm fine." Cameron said. "You can resume your duties."

Jim remained behind her until Holly and Gail-Cam heard them enter the Master Suite and came to see what was happening.

They both greeted Cameron and were soon joined by Vanna and Allison.

Cameron hugged Vanna when she arrived and then she hugged Allison. The main reason was to scan them.

Jim could see the glitch stopped and he continued through the room back toward the Control Center.

"I'm just checking to see what I will need to make the rooms up." Jim said.

He looked back at Cameron and she slightly nodded. Sometimes it was nice to have help.

When Cameron scanned Allison she picked up readings that were all over the place. These were different than her normal scans. She was going to start questioning her but did not think it was the right place. They needed to head down to dinner in the next few minutes. Maybe Allison was excited about the way she looked and the atmosphere of the ship. She seemed very sexually aroused too.

"Let me get John and we can head down for dinner." Cameron said.

Vanna hoped to question Hanna about what Jesse and Claire may have done.

"Are Hanna and Sheila going to go with us?" Vanna asked.

Cameron went to check awhile ago but never made it that far.

"I don't know." Cameron said.

Vanna wanted to know more so she knew how to play the evening.

"I can go check." Vanna said.

"I'll go with her." Gail-Cam said.

Vanna did not want that.

"I'm good." Vanna said. "I'll be right back."

Vanna made her exit.

Cameron did not want Jim to question her further. She decided to take Allison, Holly and Gail-Cam through the Control Center and enter her room that way as the three of them tagged along.

John was surprised as the door from the Control Center opened. Cameron walked out. Maybe it was Allison. He could not tell. There was no hint of a smile on her face. Maybe it was Cameron. He saw Allison walk in behind her. There was a smile on her face. Holly and Gail-Cam followed them.

John was not sure what was said by anyone at this point. He was sure not going to ask.

Allison looked around the Owner' Suite. It was nearly identical to her suite, the Master Suite.

"So this is the fancy room." Allison said.

A room was a room to Cameron. Some were bigger and some were smaller.

"It's a room." Cameron said. "John can show you around."

John wondered what he was supposed to show her. They came out of the spare room, they were in the living room. That left the bathroom, dressing room and bedroom. That was it.

"We will meet you in the private area." Cameron said.

Cameron led Gail-Cam out of the suite. Holly lingered behind. Cameron allowed her to.

John quickly showed Allison the layout. He walked away. He thought they would follow him. He knew it was time to go.

Allison looked at the bed. Holly was near her.

"Is this where you got your cherry busted?" Allison asked.

Holly tilted her head slightly.

"I don't think I ever had one. You know we have done many things down there before. It would have ruptured long ago." Holly said. "This bed is where Cameron used my chassis. It was beautiful."

Allison moved close to Holly.

"Did my mother do it with John?" Allison whispered.

Holly was caught off guard.

"No." Holly whispered. "I don't think so."

Allison looked to see where John was.

"Did Jesse?" Allison whispered.

Holly was not there every second of the day.

"No." Holly whispered. "I don't think so."

Allison looked back for John again.

"Would you mind if I try it once with John?" Allison whispered.

Holly knew that Cameron would not be in control of Allison if she did. It would be John's first exposure to a human female in many years.

Holly hoped Allison could experience what Cameron experienced. It was beautiful.

"You are free to do as you choose." Holly whispered. "I really mean that."

Allison wanted to be with John before her mother was. She knew everyone thought her mother was a better lover and better in bed. She didn't want John to think of her as 'not good enough'.

"I want to try it one time." Allison whispered.

Holly looked evenly at Allison.

"I do as well." Holly whispered.

"I want to feel the love you felt through Cameron." Allison whispered.

Allison hoped to be with John before Holly now too. She thought everyone was better in bed than her. She wanted to be the first if possible. She was pretty sure once Vanna saw what she was trying to do that she would make a move as well. Vanna was more skilled than her because she did not have a choice. She'd needed to please dozens of men growing up with whatever they wanted. The price of refusal was harder beatings, disfigurement or death. Savannah did as they demanded. She still had all of her teeth. That was the point where most girls lost a few when the resisted. I fist in the mouth was motivation to do as they were told. A gun to the side of the head was even greater motivation.

Holly was not pleased with this revelation.

John came back to find them.

"We need to head down to dinner." John said. "Cameron has everyone ready."

Holly and Allison both looked at the bed as they left.

John noticed but did not say anything. He was very pleased at what Cameron had done.

Robyn led the group to the furthest extent of the residential horse trail. They turned west once the horse trail along the wash ended. The wash itself turned into dirt a quarter of a mile ahead anyway. They were at the base of the foothills. There was a silted up dam in the way too. It was part of the old Twin Lakes area that was only now recently being developed. The original development plan from a hundred years ago never really took off.

"We can turn north and go under the freeway and into the foothills or continue west through the hills between here and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. We will be in an old movie filming location if we go that way." Robyn said.

"Are there any sets left?" Savannah asked. "I think they have all been burnt out."

"Both further to the west and the north were more movie ranches. Almost everything is gone." Robyn said. "Fires did claim most everything over the years. Vandals took care of the rest."

Young Allison dropped back with Anna.

"When we go to the past, I want to come here when the movie ranches are still here." Young Allison said. "I want to see the 'stars' and the filming."

Anna wondered if Cameron or Young Allison would be 'discovered' by any movie producers. She decided not to mention Schwab's near Hollywood in that time period.

"I think we can work it in." Anna said. "Most of the films and TV shows were shot before the time we will be in. The area will already be in decline."

Savannah wanted to play it safe or at least less risky.

"Let's take the trail least likely to encounter any snakes." Savannah said.

Savannah looked back and the Detail used their SUV as well as their own SUV to shadow them. Help would be close if they needed it.

"Follow me." Robyn said.
