Chapter 636

I Try

Previously:

Gail was in the air at altitude in the manned drone when the explosion occurred at the mine. She did a visual with her eyes and the drone's camera zoomed in. She saw the SUV that Savannah was in take a wild ride to get clear of the area. At one point the SUV traversed a fisher that opened wider as the SUV made it across. A millisecond later and they would have been stuck.

She did recon around the mountain and followed the caravan of vehicles to the 'safe house'.

Once Cameron's team reached the 'safe house', Gail returned the manned drone back to the Resistance base.

Jesse and Vanna were waiting for her when she finished up.

Vanna walked up and gave Gail a big hug.

"Thank you for watching over Savannah, Cameron and the others." Vanna said.

Gail didn't think it was a big deal. She'd gone on her own accord to support Savannah.

"We all do our part." Gail said. "We all help each other."

Jesse walked over and gave Gail a deep kiss.

"Thanks, love." Jesse said. "Now it's time for some alone time."

Gail looked at Jesse and Vanna. It was her desire to be with Savannah. That encounter didn't seem to be in the cards now. Vanna was an 'older Savannah' from a different timeline. It was the same person with a different background.

Vanna enjoyed and preferred female companionship. She would be with any female who would have her. She liked being with Gail or Jesse. She also enjoyed being with Gail and Jesse. She'd become very close to Gail recently. She didn't want to seem like an intruder or take more than was offered. She looked at Gail and then at Jesse.

"If that's what you want." Vanna said. "It's up to Jesse."

Jesse spent the night with Vanna. She'd spent a lot of nights with her over the years. Often they spent hours together as they slowly pleasured each other at the same time. It was just a different experience to share that way with each other even if a Metal girl did everything the same exact way. Maybe it was because they'd both been abused for nearly a decade down there. Vanna and Allison also shared love with her. There was as much sex as any of them wanted but the shared love was very special.

"You know me. I can never get enough." Jesse said.

Gail looked at Jesse and then at Vanna. She felt a slight 'electrical' surge. Vanna was 'Savannah' to her most of the time when they shared. She felt a little guilty but not by much.

"I've wanted and shared that a lot lately." Gail said. "As long as Jesse is OK with everything…."

Gail didn't want to hurt or offend Jesse and she didn't want Vanna to feel 'used'.

Jesse didn't see any of it as a problem. The female body was good to go anytime of the day or night. She made the most of hers.

"Love, you know what goes on when you're not here." Jesse said. "WE got everything warmed up for you."

Vanna looked at Jesse and smiled.

"That's several times over." Vanna said.

Jesse and Vanna giggled at that reminder.

Gail wanted to make sure there were no problems. She was ready to go but she still felt a little guilty. She looked at Jesse and then at Vanna.

"Vanna, I don't want to make you feel 'used'." Gail said.

Vanna didn't see it as a big deal. She'd pretended that Allison was Cameron and Cam was Cameron or Allison hundreds of times. Both of the girls were more than willing to play any 'part'.

"Gail, I AM her." Vanna said. "I know it's not the SAME but it really is and Savannah IS my name. I'm Savannah Weaver too."

Jesse was thrilled and stimulated with that reminder. Vanna was 'Savannah' to her many times for years long before Savannah was 'active'. Vanna would have killed her if she'd known the truth.

"We're all just one big happy family." Jesse said. "Life in 'Paradise' is good."

The three girls headed for Jesse's room…. They all knew what they 'wanted'.

Vanna actually liked the ferocity that Gail 'attacked' her with. She would get her to where she wanted to go and keep her there. It was totally different than being with Cam or any of the other Metal girls, except for maybe Sheila. Sheila was just 'wild'. Then again, Sheila was both 'Gail' and 'Jesse' on her chip. Sheila was a real wild ride anytime. Sheila was good to 'go' anytime, anywhere, anyplace, any how and anyway. Life was good in Paradise.

John was worried about the media reports. He knew they were going to need a lot of 'spin' on this one. They didn't even know if there was a fault line close to the mine. If anyone figured out the earthquake was caused by a massive explosion, there was bound to be a big investigation.

"I want to stay ahead of them. What are the media reports?" John asked.

John Henry knew they could direct a lot of the narrative.

"It will be pretty much what we make or change it to be." John Henry said. "It's being reported as a medium size earthquake and nothing more."

John wanted to make sure that no one looked at where the actual event took place.

"Are they are all going to look elsewhere?" John asked.

John Henry already located a nearby fault line to show as the culprit.

"Yes. I've 'changed' the epicenter to ten miles away." John Henry said. "That's where everyone will look and test."

John Henry already sent several teams of Terminators to change or confiscate whatever paper records there were by nightfall.

John was concerned that they weren't done with the mine yet.

"What about the mine site?" John asked. "I think someone will come to check."

John Henry didn't think Skynet would go back there. He would make sure they checked anyway.

"I'll have some surveillance cameras installed." John Henry said. "I don't think anyone will go back to that area."

John was worried about more than Skynet showing up.

"I do." John said. "I want to know if Cameron goes anywhere near it."

John Henry hadn't considered that possibility. Now it seemed that he should have.

"You don't think she's done there?" John Henry asked.

John thought Cameron would want to destroy the location herself.

"No. I don't." John said. "Everything there should have been destroyed. I think Cameron will want to make sure."

John Henry could see where the conversation was really headed.

"Do you think she will still use a warhead there?" John Henry asked.

John looked around the Command Center and back at John Henry

"Yes." John said. "I do."

John just 'felt' Cameron would try to get back there and 'finish' the job she'd started. He didn't see how she could get in there or what even would be left after that explosion. The mountain showed an overall reduced height by one foot two inches.

Earlier:

Gail stayed with the teams in the manned drone. She went back and checked twice more at the mine. Everything was negative.

Cameron was satisfied there was no radiation or other contamination from the mine. She reached over to Savannah.

"Let's get you unwrapped." Cameron said.

Savannah was more than happy to emerge from her cocoon.

"Thanks." Savannah said. "I didn't care for that, especially after the earlier incidents."

Cameron felt a glitch impulse.

"I'm really sorry about that." Cameron said.

Savannah quickly took Cameron's left hand.

"I know that it was Skynet's fault." Savannah said.

Cammy folded up the 'Space Blankets'.

Savannah took Cammy right hand after she'd finished. She didn't want her to feel left out.

A few minutes later Cameron and Cammy looked at each other. Savannah's eyes were closed. They both scanned her as she rested.

Cameron was somewhat jealous of Cammy. Cammy was able to share with Savannah. She needed to wait for John and Savannah to 'bond' before she could share with Savannah. She knew if she started a relationship with Savannah now that Savannah wouldn't need John. She was a little worried that she wouldn't either.

Cammy looked at Cameron and Savannah. She was sure she knew what Cameron thought about right now. She really wondered at what point Cameron would deactivate her.

They arrived at the 'safe house' a short time later.

Savannah opened her eyes when the SUV stopped. They all exited the vehicles.

After they reached the 'safe house', Savannah personally thanked all the male Terminators who were with her in the mine and Bob who led the rescue mission.

Cameron invited the male Terminators to stay and get cleaned up at the 'safe house' but they declined. They knew Savannah would insist they get cleaned up first. They all wanted her and the Metal girls to get cleaned up.

Savannah made a point of giving each one of them a hug and a kiss on the cheek. They were all as dirty as she was except Bob. She thanked them again and they left. They all seemed pleased she touched them.

Savannah looked down at herself and then at the Metal girls.

"Look at us." Savannah said. "I didn't think it was possible to be this filthy."

The grime seemed like it was painted on them. Cammy tried to clean Savannah up a little bit earlier. She was unable to make much progress.

Cammy wanted to maximize her time with Savannah.

"Cam, Ally and Sheila should get cleaned up first." Cammy said. "They won't take as long."

Savannah didn't want any issues to develop.

"I need to bring a big trash can in for our clothes. I saw one when we came in." Savannah said. "Everything is ripped, shredded, torn and thick with grime."

Ally was the closest one to the door.

"I'll get it." Ally said.

Ally found the trash can and brought it in.

The girls all started to strip.

Cameron and Cammy were concerned that Cam, Ally and Sheila were there as they stripped as well.

Savannah noticed their trepidation.

"You know they won't ever try anything. Not in this setting." Savannah whispered to Cameron and Cammy. "We're all family."

Savannah wanted to point out it never hurts to share. She didn't want to stress Cameron any more.

Cameron stripped off her clothes and threw them away.

Everyone took in her naked form. It was beautiful to look at. It wasn't quite as dirty where the clothes had been.

Cameron looked at the other Metal girls. She didn't want them to get carried away.

"We're here to wash and clean only." Cameron said.

Everyone knew not to push it or fool around. They all knew Savannah was tired and hadn't eaten. None of them wanted a confrontation with Cameron either.

Cam, Ally and Sheila all washed each other down. They were only dirty, not covered with the soot and grime. They finished up quickly. They hurried so Savannah could start.

Savannah looked at Sheila's naked body the most. It reminded her so much of Young Jesse. She wanted 'more'. Young Jesse was her first sexual experience. They'd actually popped each other's cherry. It was something that both Jesse and Vanna told them to do. They each reminded them that their first abuse lasted longer once the first attacker realized they were virgins. They wanted to make sure that Young Jesse and her didn't suffer the same fate. She was glad they'd both had children since then. They were both still 'technical virgins' too. Neither one of them had been with a male yet. She'd really tried to let John be her first, maybe next time….

Sheila winked at Savannah as she entered the shower.

Cammy frowned at Sheila as she followed Savannah into the shower.

Savannah saw the water that ran off of her and down the drain was black. Cammy scrubbed her down and she scrubbed Cammy down. Cammy needed to do most of the work to make any real headway on both of them.

Cameron waited until the others were finished. Her eyes were glued to Savannah's nude figure.

Savannah watched Cameron move towards the shower as she was about to dry herself off.

"Would you like some help with your back?" Savannah asked.

Cameron paused and looked at Savannah.

"I don't know." Cameron said.

Savannah was still wet. She set down her towel and faced Cameron naked.

"Sometimes it's nice to have help." Savannah said.

Cameron looked at the others.

Everyone else quickly left the area.

Cameron looked back at Savannah and smiled. It was smile to die for.

"Yes." Cameron said.

Cameron entered the shower and started to clean herself. She too saw the black water run down the drain. She felt the washrag on her back. There were strong soft hands that scrubbed her.

She slowly turned around and faced Savannah. The warm water cascaded over her.

Cameron looked at Savannah's face and then her eyes dropped lower and looked at 'everything'.

Beyond the beauty she saw the 'toll' that Savannah 'paid' for assisting her.

Cameron's hand started to glitch.

"What have I done to you, Savannah?" Cameron asked with worry and concern.

Cameron looked further at Savannah's naked body. She was shocked and appalled.

She saw Savannah was covered with bruises of all shapes, sizes and colors. There were scrapes and small cuts here and there. There were still the three giant fading bruises from the bullet impacts on her vest not that long ago.

Savannah reached out and took Cameron's glitching hand.

"I'm fine, Cameron." Savannah said. "This is my choice."

Cameron felt immense quilt.

"You never said a word." Cameron said. "I'm killing you."

Savannah wanted to make Cameron understand it was a two way street.

"Then YOU know what YOU have to do." Savannah said. "THIS is what you're doing to yourself. THIS is how you make all of us feel. THIS is how you make me feel in my mind when I worry about you."

Cameron did understand what Savannah meant. She only wanted to protect the others. She didn't want Savannah to suffer at her expense.

"I'm so sorry." Cameron said. "I'll try to share the burden with the others."

Cameron went to turn back around. Savannah stopped her.

"I'm not done with this side yet." Savannah said.

Savannah and Cameron's eyes were locked as Savannah washed the front of Cameron's sheath. She didn't miss a spot.

Savannah smiled and took a step back.

"You're as good as new." Savannah said.

Cameron finished cleaning. They dried each other off. They walked out with towels wrapped around them.

They other four Metal girls wore the same thing, a towel. Sheila only wrapped hers around her waist. She liked everyone to see her nipple rings and what they were attached to.

"Do you want the good news or bad news first?" Ally asked.

Cameron frowned.

"I want the good news." Cameron said.

Sheila tugged on her nipple rings.

"We're all smoking hot." Sheila said.

Cameron still felt guilty about all the abuse to Savannah's body.

"I agree." Cameron said. "What's the bad news?"

Ally opened her towel up and flashed all of them.

"We don't have anything but these towels to wear…." Ally said.

Sheila pulled hers off.

"I don't even need that." Sheila said.

They all laughed.

Ally pointed at the trash can.

"No really, we threw all our clothes away." Ally said.

Sheila walked over to the trash can and looked inside.

"I'm not even going to touch those." Sheila said. "I would rather walk around like this."

Ally said what they all thought.

"You do half the time anyway." Ally said.

Sheila cupped both of her breasts and shook them so her nipple rings bounced freely up and down.

"A girl's got to flaunt what she has if she wants to get noticed." Sheila said as she looked at Savannah. "Besides there are only two of us here who don't look the same 'everywhere'."

Cam walked away and come back in a short while.

"I have more bad news." Cam said.

Sheila stopped fooling around.

"Spill it." Sheila said.

Cam looked back they way she'd just come from.

"We don't have a vehicle either." Cam said.

Cameron didn't want to take any chances with any of the vehicles being identified by Skynet operatives later on. They'd already experience one close call in that regard.

"I asked the boys remove all our gear and equipment. They're going to drop it off on the east side of town along with all the other vehicles used in this operation." Cameron said. "I have more."

Cameron always liked to get rid of the vehicles used in any operation that went hot. Some gang member could pay the price if one of the vehicles was targeted.

Ally leaned forward and shimmied her breasts.

"We could hitchhike." Ally said.

Sheila held out her extended fist with the thumb up

"I got fifty bucks that I'll get picked up hitchhiking in less than a minute." Sheila said.

Ally laughed.

"Dressed or I should say undressed like that. I bet it's ten seconds." Ally said. "You won't be picked up for a ride either."

Cameron looked at everyone and walked away. It was clear she was upset.

Sheila and Ally started to follow her but saw Cameron's hand started to glitch.

Savannah looked each one of them in the face. She saved Cammy for last.

"It's my function." Savannah said as she walked after Cameron. "We all know it. You all know it."

"We do." They all said.

Savannah walked out of the room behind Cameron.

"She's like no other." Cammy said.

Cam nodded.

"They both are." Cam said. "Who would know better than me?"

"Nobody…." Cammy said.

Sheila looked where Savannah went.

"You're the lucky one, Cammy." Sheila said.

Cammy thought it was more a matter of perspective.

"Am I?" Cammy asked.

Ally would like to be in Cammy's shoes.

"None of us are part of the 'Natural Order'." Ally said. "Not Vanna, Allison or Jesse either. You have Savannah now. That's something very special."

Cammy doubted she would face a good ending.

"It won't matter that I'm 'a Cameron' when Cameron comes for her." Cammy said.

Cam knew that was predetermined.

"You knew that from the day you were cloned." Cam said.

Cammy didn't look forward to being 'thrown away'.

"It doesn't make it any easier." Cammy said.

They heard some vehicles pull up. Everyone scrambled for weapons. The towels all fell to the floor.

"Terminators…." Cammy said as she looked out the window.

The Metal girls were all armed and naked. It actually made quite a sight.

Cameron returned to the room. Savannah followed her.

"Relax." Cameron said. "It's our clothes and our ride."

The Metal girls were all relieved.

"You always think of everything." Ally said.

Cameron looked at Savannah.

"I try." Cameron said. "I try to cover all the bases and protect the future."

Cameron was still upset at the 'damage' she'd done and continued to do to Savannah's body. She knew the 'damage' would also extend into the mind. She was afraid at some point Savannah would hate her. She felt another glitch impulse.

I Try

Some things are said outright
Other things one will imply
What is the difference
Why won't one clarify

Maybe events from the past
One wants to repair or rectify
Only one's own actions
Will their words verify

The depth of one's feelings
Is not an endless supply
Who can one trust
On whom can they rely

It is easier than one thinks
To leave another high and dry
Perhaps that is the reason why
It made them sad and cry

One must work long and hard
Every effort they must apply
The truth is better than a lie
I try and I try and I try

Nobody
