Chapter 100

Jealousy

Love + Hate = Jealousy

It has been said: Sometimes in life people think they know what they want. Then after they attain it, they want more or something different. What once was important soon becomes 'unimportant'. The lifespan of a loving relationship is six months to two years. After that it then becomes 'toleration'. What can override everything in life even when a relationship is 'dead'? What one feeling can light a fire inside someone until it consumes them?

Jealousy!

Love is a powerful feeling. It can make people do a lot of things….

Hate is just as powerful. It can make people do some things….

Jealousy overpowers all. It can make people do anything….

Jealousy is fueled by Love and Hate combined – Watch Out.

Cameron pondered these feelings and ideas in her poems. She was able to express how she felt and why. She felt wronged in many ways from her treatment by others to the actions of others. She did not like what John did to her and especially how it was done and perpetuated. The feelings of love, heartbreak, anger and hate all end up in one's mind on a collision course.

Cameron led Allison, Vanna and Jesse on a temporal mission into her future to prevent Future Allison's capture and hence her construction. She desired her 'one wish' never to have been built.

The last second events that transpired were filled with jealousy, anger and hate.

The arching started. The flashing was blinding.

The energy bubble formed around them.

Cameron could not believe her eyes.

She saw Riley standing next to John, HER JOHN.

RILEY!

"Nooooooooooooooo!" Cameron screamed.

It was to be her very last memory of John.

Seconds before:

Derek parked the SUV in the carpool.

Riley looked around in awe.

"Is this all part of your base?" Riley asked.

Derek knew this was just the tip of the iceberg for her.

"Yes." Derek said. "There is a lot that goes on around here."

This was a more sophisticated operation than she'd expected. It looked like living here was way better than the future she came from and the run down dump of an apartment she just left behind. She hoped to restart her life over from this moment.

"I look forward to being part of it." Riley said. "I can't wait to meet everyone."

Riley really looked forward to meet and work with a new group of people. She did not think she would need to worry about being assaulted by anyone. She hoped she no longer would need to worry about being awoken in the night with a knife to her throat or a gun to the side of her head. What followed that awakening was always the same. She wanted her life to begin fresh from here.

Derek hurried Riley along. He needed to find out what the problem was about that troubled Kyle.

"We need to hurry. My brother told me something was about to happen. It did not seem like anything good." Derek said.

Riley listened to some of the stories Derek told her about his brother. It was evident they shared a strong bond. They were lucky too in that they still had a family member alive and with them. That was rare in itself.

"I'm looking forward to meeting your brother." Riley said. "You have told me a lot about him."

Riley didn't see much of Kyle when he untied her hands when she was being held as a captive. He needed to go after a Gray that escaped.

Derek wanted her to understand it was a close knit group.

"He is a great guy. Everyone here is, even the Metal." Derek said.

That revelation took her by surprise. She felt like someone just hit her in the midsection with a two by four.

"Metal?" Riley asked.

Riley slowed and then stopped. Now she was a little worried. No, she was more than a little worried.

Derek sensed a problem. Maybe he should have made this clear before he brought her here. Now that she'd been to the base, if she wanted to leave it was going to be a problem. He knew at this point it would lead to her termination. He tried to blow it off as no big deal.

"We work hand in hand with Metal here." Derek said. "All of them are really great, especially Cameron. John and Cameron are married. We need to hurry."

Riley was not so sure about this now. She didn't know how it would be to work with Metal up close. She heard that sometimes they went 'bad' and nobody knew why. The part about a human and Metal together was another story.

"I've heard about Metal and humans together before. I didn't think it was true." Riley said. "Is it really?"

It made her wonder how that worked out and what was the same or what was different. Where were the shared feelings and emotions in all of that?

Derek wanted to keep this simple. He thought Riley would understand better once she'd met everyone. It was really no big deal and everything seemed 'natural' to him at this point.

"It is true." Derek said. "We can all learn to get along and coexist and even love. It is all in the mind anyway, love or hate."

Riley trusted Derek and she knew he was a leader in her past - the future. She was aware that the Resistance leadership worked with Restorators and reprogrammed Terminators to defeat Skynet. She was never up close with them before. She was afraid of them. Most of the people she knew were afraid of them. They'd all seen what Skynet Terminators had done.

"I will trust you, Derek but I am afraid of Metal." Riley said. "I have seen what it does. I have witnessed what they can do. I also know Scavengers can be worse and more brutal. We all know what they do to the women and girls they get a hold of. I was lucky, I escaped before I was mutilated. I guess anyone or thing can be evil and brutal."

Derek felt it was about choice. Scavengers were Scavengers by choice. They chose to be brutal and evil. Skynet Terminators were programmed to be ruthless and kill. He was able to see that when Terminators had free choice they were anything but brutal towards humans. They were only brutal towards the enemy who wanted to kill humans. He witnesses the good Metal did in the future to save humanity. He was there and he'd been a part of it. They could not have defeated Skynet with out the assistance of Metal.

"It was Metal that cleaned up the Scavenger problem, Riley. That was Cameron and Mrs. Weaver, both them were Metal that did that. They did it because the Scavengers hurt people they both loved." Derek said. "I know it is hard to believe but Metal can love too."

Riley started to move again. She hoped this was not a mistake coming here. She wondered what would happen if she tried to leave.

"Please trust me on this." Derek said. "We need to hurry."

Derek and Riley started to run fast.

They came around a corner. The TDE thundered and vibrated the entire area.

They saw John pounding on the glass with his fists calling 'Cameron' over and over.

'Cameron, Cameron, Cameron, Cameron, Cameron….'

It was unnerving to watch.

Derek rushed up to Kyle.

"What's happening, Kyle?" Derek asked.

Derek could see Sarah was upset and angry.

"They're all going." Sarah answered.

She felt sick.

Kyle didn't know much.

"It's nothing good, Derek." Kyle responded. "They're all leaving."

Riley looked at the young man pounding on the glass.

'Damn, he is hot.' Riley thought.

She decided she would need to get to know him better, MUCH better. This trip to 'Paradise' seemed to be getting better and better.

Riley moved to stand next to him. She wanted to be closer to him. She could check him out easier this way. She wanted to see in the window too. She wanted to see what was going on. It all seemed so dramatic.

Riley stood next to John and peered in the window.

'Damn, that is four HOT women.' Riley thought. 'Look at those twins, especially that - one.'

She noted the redhead and the Asian girl were just as - HOT.

Riley was captivated as she looked at Cameron.

'Jut LOOK at the one twin. How can she look so good?' Riley wondered.

Then the super Hot twin looked at her.

When Riley looked at the face of the super hot twin she saw Hate in her eyes.

Riley saw Hate on her face.

Riley heard her scream - 'Nooooooooooooooo!'

Riley saw her eyes turn red.

Riley saw - Death.

Savannah went to study after John left. Cameron always pushed her to learn all she could. Cameron pushed her to improve herself. Cameron pushed her hard in everything, both mental and physical. Cameron told her she wanted to create the 'perfect female'. Cameron reminded Savannah that John deserved ONLY the best. Savannah knew what her destiny was. She knew what her promises were and what they meant. Cameron made it clear to her what her function would be when she was 'ready'. She always promised Cameron again every time they talked about it.

Savannah knew something bad was about to happen this time.

She felt fear.

Cameron was always with her everyday. She went over what the future held and what she must do to protect John and the future. Cameron told her what she was destined to achieve and indicated what was 'expected' of her. She was onboard for all the things Cameron made her promise to do. It was to be her and Young Allison. The future depended on them. She was aware of the great responsibility that would be.

Sometimes Cameron came to her room in tears. She'd held Cameron as she cried and cried before. It seemed that only her promises to Cameron could make her stop crying. Savannah's love for Cameron seemed to be the only thing to calm Cameron. She did love Cameron. She loved her more than anything or anyone. Cameron was her life and what gave her the strength to go on herself. She'd already lost so much. Both of her real parents were gone. Mrs. Weaver was gone. Her whole family was gone and her home as well. Cameron gave her a new life and a new purpose.

Now the TDE thundered. Nothing good ever happened when it was on. There was always trouble afterwards. Everyone was sad and upset after it turned off.

Savannah knew her place in 'time'. The future called to her.

"I promise, Cammy." She cried over and over.

"I promise, Cammy." "I promise, Cammy." "I promise, Cammy."….

Savannah heard a scream like she'd never heard before, over the roar of the machinery.

'Nooooooooooooooo!'

Savannah knew she had two things to do with her life.

One was to marry John. The other was to find and protect someone named 'Young Allison'. The future depended on them. Savannah knew she would not fail. She swore she would do both of those things.

"I promise, Cammy." "I promise, Cammy." "I promise, Cammy."….

Allison saw the new girl.

She heard Cameron scream.

'Nooooooooooooooo!'

Allison looked at her. She KNEW it was that 'Bitch Whore' Riley.

Allison screamed in rage.

"Nooooooooooooooo!"

Vanna saw the new girl.

She heard Cameron scream.

'Nooooooooooooooo!'

Vanna looked at her. She KNEW it was that 'Bitch Whore' Riley.

Vanna screamed in rage.

"Nooooooooooooooo!"

Jesse saw the new girl.

She heard Cameron scream.

'Nooooooooooooooo!'

Jesse looked at her. She KNEW it was that 'Bitch Whore' Riley.

Jesse screamed in rage.

"Nooooooooooooooo!"

Riley looked on in horror.

Riley saw DEATH.

Riley felt DEATH.

Riley heard DEATH.

It was like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and each one of them was going to kill her.

Riley KNEW it.

DEATH was coming for her.

The four women saw the man they all loved and wanted standing next to the one person who could 'take' him.

John stood next to the one person who'd already taken him before.

John stood next to the one person he'd chosen before over Cameron.

"Nooooooooooooooo!"

It was to be their very last memory of John.

The memory was of John and Riley together and alone.

The flashing and arching intensified the energy bubble enveloped them and then they were gone.

Nothing was left but memories.

The TDE pad was empty

Only nothingness remained.

Nobody was there.

Jealousy

It often starts out as love
It is beautiful while it may last
Time and change soon catch up
The love is soon left in the past

When one moves on
They leave the other behind
The parting words shouted
Are often very maligned

When one still loves the other
They can not let go
For deep inside of them
Their love continues to flow

Then along comes another
Into the other's heart they interlope
The pain of rejection and replacement
Becomes more than the one can cope

The love is still there
But is now fueled by hate
Jealousy overpowers everything
As the vanquished reject their fate

Nobody
