::Chapter 4 ~ Repetition::

~*~*~*~*~

"Ow!" Cammy awoke screeching as she felt her head.

She was back in her cell, without any recognition of how she got there. Everything seemed a transparent shade of grey for a few moments as she opened her eyes, she blinked a few times and her vision became normal again.

"Aww, damn..." She said aloud, knowing that no one was there. She sat up and rubbed her forehead roughly. She noticed that she was in a grey spaghetti strap nightgown that she hadn't owned or seen before and her hair was flowing freely instead of being tied back, this sparked her confusion even more.

She looked over at her door, and saw it was locked, the clock on her wall read "3:14 a.m.".

She'd finally realized that her head was so flooded with pain, she wasn't thinking right.

She decided to think things through step by step, at first she'd thought about the girl with the same looks and voice as her own. She had attacked and knocked both her and Vega out, obviously she was the one that brought her back to her cell.

"Vega..."

"What did he have to do with her...?!" She found herself saying aloud again.

The girl was definitely sent by Bison and had been ordered to seek and bring back both of them...

"But if Vega had known her, then why had she attacked me?" Cammy whispered to herself. Why did she wear that black mask...Vega had told her that he had worn something similar in combat. And why did Vega fall so quickly? One thing shot across Cammy's mind...The Tournament.

"Maybe...Vega had set me up." If she had committed these acts against Shadowloo (disobeying Bison), then she may be disqualified. And she knew sometimes she could be faster then Juni and Juli, maybe he was trying to get rid of some of the competition...

"No."

She couldn't bring herself to think that of Vega...

He had treated her so well, he couldn't have.

"But you don't know him that well…"

Her mind kept on repeating the same words over and over again, she couldn't allow herself to be wrong in this situation.

"This is all wrong..."

Sheraised a hand to her face,

"Why? Why do I live this live? Why in bloody hell am I here?!"

She took a look over at the clock again, by this time it read "3:46 a.m". She raised her other hand to her face and freely collapsed her upper body onto her bed, trying to calm down.

"I just need sleep..." She said softly to herself, shutting her eyes tightly.

~*~*~*~*~

Cammy awoke again with blurry vision, she had fallen asleep without any sheets or covers on, so she felt a chill. She rose from her bed and undressed herself, before she heard a knock on her door.

"Why now?" She barely whispered to herself, "One moment Juni..."

She rolled her eyes and put the nightgown back on. She opened the door and slid her head out, covering most of her body with the door.

To her surprise it was Vega, whom wasn't looking directly at her eyes, or her face for that matter...

"Why you're looking lovely today..." He said, with a small grin on his face.

"What are you doing here?" She said firmly, as all the thoughts she had earlier came rushing to her.

"Is that any sort way to greet me?" Vega said mimicking her tone sarcastically. "Well, only because you asked so kindly. I came here to apologize for what went so terribly wrong last night, I-"

Cammy interrupted him, "I'm busy at the moment...can this wait?"

Vega saw that she was in a bad mood, and decided to leave it at that. "All right. Adios."

"Right." She said frowning, as he walked away muttering something unpleasant in Spanish. She slammed the door and leaned against it, eventually sliding to the ground.

"Why did act that way?!" She said to herself thinking about how she snapped at Vega for no apparent reason. She rose to her feet, and placed a hand on her face.

"Why did he have to drag me in... Just by starring at me... This all wouldn't have happened if...

I'm so idiotic!"

~*~*~*~*~

Cammy decided to think things through again walking down the hall ways. Not even knowing which direction her feet would take her, she just kept walking. Her mind slipped away and got caught in a thought, as she found herself slamming into someone.

"Watch where your go... ing." She said firmly, not making eye contact at first, she noticed the snake wrapped around the man's arm.

"Sorry..." She said brushing her chest off in an automatic matter. "Ehm...I mean sorry, not only for this... But what happened before. I'm sorry I snapped at you, I really didn't mean it, it's just-"

"That's fine." He said in a cold and unwelcoming tone, one he had never shown her.

"...I suppose this isn't exactly the best place to talk to you about this, but..." Cammy scratched her head, "...What happened?".

Vega looked down, and tried to avoid her gaze, "You see, I'm not exactly sure...".

Cammy knew he was hiding something now- She was starting to be able to read him as well as he could read her.

"I see then..." She started, "Well, then... I guess you wouldn't know that girl's name, being that you aren't exactly sure." Cammy said tilting her head to one side, then walking away haughtily, avoiding his presence.

"Cammy, I..." Vega started, as she left the hall. He figured she wouldn't talk to him anyway now.

"I'm sorry..."

~*~*~*~*~

Cammy ran into her cell, and fell onto her bed. She rolled to the side, facing the wall. She touched the stone with one hand, as her demise started becoming clearer and more apparent. She couldn't remember the last time she'd thought this freely, yet she had never felt this caged in her cell. It was only a matter of time before she would pay for this simple act of free will.

"He knows."

"All that is left is facing The Master now..." She whispered quietly to herself. "It'll all be over soon. I'm just a doll to him..."

She rolled onto her stomach and felt small tear drops fall from her eyes, onto her pillow.

"Why did I do this?" She said through the tears with strain, "I'll probably die by his hand... But like this?"

She let sleep drown out the tears.
