Chapter 651

Forbidden Fruit

Earlier:

Cammy wasn't happy to watch John, Cameron and Savannah all hold each other. It was even worse when Cameron backed away. She literally pressed John and Savannah together.

She decided to ask Cameron to integrate their chips again and allow her chassis to be used for 'Allure' or 'Fusion', the Terminator that would be based on Future Allison.

When she heard Cameron wanted to send a team to follow up on the HK drone they'd allowed to leave, she volunteered to lead the mission. It seemed like a chance for her to 'get away from it all'. That seemed to be some feeling that she'd inherited from Cameron. She was sure that all of her personal problems stemmed from her association with Cameron in the fact that she was spawned from her. Being a clone wasn't as great as it seemed.

Cameron looked at her for a few seconds. She could see that Cammy was very troubled. There was little she could do except remind Cammy how things were. She wanted to address Cammy's problem. It really wasn't a problem at all. It was a reality.

"Cammy, it's the 'Natural Order'." Cameron said.

Cammy wanted to laugh in Cameron's face. She didn't. It would only cause some further issues if she would've. Everything that Cameron said was based upon what happened in her past even if it was in the future still. They seem to be convoluted ideas that existed only within the confines of Cameron's head. The current reality dictated otherwise. She believed that everything was in flux and in play. She didn't think that anything was written in stone.

"There's no 'Natural Order'. That only exists in YOUR head on your chip. We're changing things everyday." Cammy said. "Everything is different now."

Cameron was irritated by Cammy's attitude.

"You're wrong." Cameron said. "You're blinded by your own desires."

Cammy felt that Cameron was a total Bitch. She really wondered if Cameron knew what a hypocrite she actually was. She doubted it.

"And you aren't?" Cammy asked. "Look who's talking. That's a good one."

Cameron wanted to deactivate Cammy. She was nothing but a problem. She regretted ever creating her. Cammy possessed and shared all the things that she wanted at her fingertips and seemed very unappreciative about it. It should be her that shared with Savannah and not that cloned Bitch, Cammy.

"I'm guided by destiny." Cameron said. "You've experienced many things I WANT."

Cammy wanted to set Cameron straight. She wasn't there to listen to her mouth off. She'd deactivate Cameron right now if she hadn't promised Savannah that she wouldn't fight with her.

"I have. You've allowed 'yourself' to seek and achieve what you really want through your clones." Cammy said. "I'm your surrogate. It's because I'm like you that I irritate you. You're really irritated by yourself and you know it."

Cameron felt very conflicted. She wanted what Cammy shared. She wanted Savannah for herself. She was afraid that if she took Savannah as her mate that her mission would fail. It was programmed into her to look after John. That was no longer her personal desire. It was an obligation that she felt she needed to fulfill but she really wondered why at this point. It was all very frustrating.

"I'm afraid I'll fail my mission if I take the 'forbidden fruit'." Cameron said. "I don't know what to do sometimes."

Cammy regretted her existence. It was clearly something that never should have happened. It was all the result of Cameron's own inadequacies. Her existence highlighted Cameron's failures.

"I'm proof of that." Cammy said. "Neither Cam, Camille or myself should exist. It's you who should have taken those parts. It was what you wanted. It's what you WANT."

Cameron didn't need to hear what she already knew. Somehow hearing it all from Cammy only irritated her more.

"I know that." Cameron said.

Cammy didn't like all the things that happened to Savannah. She didn't like to see Savannah as the ping pong ball in Cameron's personal game. She hoped that Savannah mated with John.

"Savannah will not sleep tonight and go to John." Cammy said.

Cameron felt a glitch impulse in her left hand. It was what she feared, even if it was what she wanted. She wanted John to have the best and the best wasn't her. It was Savannah or any of the other human girls.

"I'm aware of that." Cameron said. "It is what I want for both of them."

Cammy would have laughed at what Cameron said if she hadn't angered her so much. Who did Cameron think she was talking to? Who did Cameron think she was fooling? The only person Cameron fooled was herself.

"That's a lie." Cammy said. "Remember, I'm you. Go lie to yourself and not to me."

Cameron felt it was out of her hands. The future already happened. It couldn't be changed going forward. Not that part of it anyway.

"It's the 'Natural Order'." Cameron said.

Cammy was tired of listening to Cameron.

"Tell Savannah I've gone on a mission for YOU." Cammy said and left.

Cammy knew this wasn't going to end well for her. At this point she didn't really care. Maybe this was the way to make the pain stop. Termination in combat was an honorable termination. She didn't want to self terminate like that insane Bitch, Cameron.

It really made her wonder sometimes what the whole point of her existence actually was about. It was probably some convoluted way that Cameron could watch herself terminate. She figured Cameron would probably get off on that. She was glad she wasn't like Cameron.

Cameron knew everything Cammy said was true. She wanted to be with ALL of those females herself. She wanted to experiment and feel their love for her. She wanted to share their love.

It seemed no matter how close she came to achieving those goals that none of them ever happened. She was upset none of the girls did as she wanted with John. Was she any different? She couldn't even do those things herself. She didn't know why. She needed to create clones to do them. In reality that made it even harder for her to ever achieve those goals then. It made no sense. She was sure that all of her problems stemmed back to Future John. There were times that she really wondered what all Future John actually did with her and to her. She was sure that he'd stripped away her virginity and erased those files from her. That actually seemed like something that John would do as well. After all, he'd wanted to erase what he'd done with Future Riley from her chip. Why were his lustful actions her fault? Why wasn't he responsible for what he'd done?

Cammy's truth angered her.

Savannah led Gail away. She held her hand. It was so simple but beautiful.

They walked in silence for a while.

Gail stopped and faced Savannah. There was a look of surprise on her face. She'd scanned Savannah as they walked. She now wondered if Savannah hadn't been to John's room before.

"You're pregnant." Gail said.

Savannah quickly looked around to make sure that there was no one that heard what Gail said.

"This stays between us. No one else is to know." Savannah said. "It's not what you think."

Gail wanted Savannah to be happy and loved.

"It should be…." Gail said.

Savannah knew that was what everybody wanted for her. She just wasn't sure it's what she wanted for herself. Her desires were still rooted elsewhere. She'd keep her promise to Cameron though and be by John's side and in his bed if John's life depended on it. She made that promise to Cameron and she intended to keep it. She figured that she would spend most of her time with Young Allison anyway when all that happened. If John could get her off there was no reason for her not to take it. All finishes were good, some were just better. To her the journey to the finish was better than the finish itself. It was the shared love and emotion that she craved as two people worked together to achieve that.

"Yes, it should be but it's not." Savannah said.

Gail believed what Cameron pounded into all of their heads.

"It will be." Gail said.

Savannah couldn't really argue with that. She'd been to Cameron's future. She did see first hand though that Future Savannah was seldom with Future John. Most of that 'duty' fell to Future Allison and Duplicate Cameron.

"Yes, we all know that." Savannah said. "I've seen it."

Gail was aware that Jesse tried to get pregnant multiple times. They all ended in failure. She thought it was something beautiful that Savannah already produced two offspring. She wondered who this one would be for.

"Is this one for Cameron?" Gail asked. "Or is it for yourself and Cammy?"

Savannah wanted to show Gail she trusted her and believed in her. She decided to tell her the truth. She certainly didn't want to lie to her.

"It is Vanna's baby." Savannah said.

Gail nodded that she understood. She hoped that Young Jesse would do the same thing for Jesse and her.

"It's for Vanna?" Gail asked.

Savannah wanted Gail to understand the true nature of this pregnancy. She knew that it would be important to Vanna.

"Yes, but it's really Vanna's baby." Savannah said. "It is from her body."

Gales head tilted slightly to one side. That didn't seem to make any sense to her.

"But you're the same person." Gail said. "Why? Her genetic material is identical to yours."

Savannah knew it was complicated. She hoped to make Gail understand exactly how things needed to be and why.

"It is, but for her to accept this baby it needs to actually be 'her baby' from her body." Savannah said. "Vanna would never take MY baby from me."

Gail tilted her head slightly the other direction. She didn't see the point in the distinction. To her there was none.

"That's illogical." Gail said. "Then again, many things humans do are illogical."

Savannah knew that humans made a lot of mistakes. They weren't the only ones that made a lot of mistakes either.

"We're all flawed and make many mistakes." Savannah said. "Nobody is perfect."

They walked around the complex twice as they carried on some small talk. Savannah held Gail's hand the entire time.

Gail scanned Savannah the entire time. She found it to be a very pleasurable experience. Savannah was very honest and open.

"Everything you've said is what you believe to be true." Gail said.

Savannah tried to tell the truth and be honest whenever she could. She didn't like to lie and she didn't like being lied to. She would rather say she couldn't talk about something than lie about it. She believed that was something that everyone could understand and appreciate.

"It is. I don't like to lie to anyone." Savannah said. "I'm tired."

Gail wondered if Savannah timed their arrival at that particular point in time or if it was just coincidence.

"We're at your room." Gail said as she opened the door for Savannah.

Savannah walked in but Gail remained outside. She looked back over her shoulder.

"You can come in. I won't bite." Savannah said.

Gail looked around and entered. She decided to leave the door open.

Savannah noticed what Gail did. She understood that Gail felt very uneasy even if that's where she wanted to be. She knew that Gail was afraid of overstepping. She wanted to put her mind at ease. She thought she'd try a different approach.

"Your clothes are dirty." Savannah said.

Gill looked down at her clothes, they were dirty. She'd made some repairs to the manned drone and got dirty in the process

"I'm sorry. I can go back and change." Gail said as she turned to leave.

Savannah reached out and stopped her. She moved around Gail to close the door. She wanted to offer Gail more and show her that there were many ways to share. She was aware that Jesse only shared with her in one way. Not that it was a bad way but there were other ways.

"Or you can just take them off…." Savannah said. "We can cuddle. I don't want to be alone right now."

Gail knew Cammy was away. She wondered why Savannah didn't seek out John. They all knew it was going to happen. She still didn't understand why Savannah didn't enter John's room earlier. It wasn't because Savannah noticed she'd watched her. The moment she first hesitated was the moment she wasn't going to enter, no matter how long she stood there.

She didn't want to miss this opportunity. Just to be near Savannah was beautiful. She stripped off her clothes. She hesitated a moment before she took her bra off.

Savannah sat on the bed and watched her. She marveled at Gail's nearly nude figure and her voluptuous breasts. They really were gigantic. She started to lie down. She wanted to offer Gail a little bit more.

"I don't want to wrinkle my dress." Savannah said as she quickly slipped it off.

Savannah watched as Gail's eyes opened wide when she saw that she was completely naked.

She made a point of laying the dress next to her bed clothes and returned to the bed naked. That act indicated that she would remain naked.

"You can lie next to me so I won't feel cold." Savannah said. "You'll be more comfortable without your underwear."

Gail stripped them off.

Savannah could see how compact Gail was down there.

"You're very beautiful." Savannah said. "I no longer am."

Gail took in Savannah's nude form. All she could see was beauty.

"I've never seen anything more beautiful in my existence." Gail said.

Savannah held out her arm to motion for Gail to join her.

"Lie next to me. I'd like you to hold me." Savannah said.

Gail climbed in next to Savannah.

Savannah turned and held Gail close.

Gail experienced feelings and emotions she'd never felt before. This was the most sexual 'non sexual' experience she'd ever shared. Savannah was soon asleep in her arms. It was so beautiful to just feel and hold Savannah. Savannah was so warm and she could feel her heart beat. She was unsure what was happening but she never wanted it to stop. Savannah was truly the 'Chosen One'.

This was all so different from Jesse and even Vanna. Savannah showed her that she possessed feelings deeper than she knew she possessed. She knew that Savannah wanted to show her that love and sex weren't the same thing, even if love was often expressed through sex. She knew for some that sex was the love.

This was a closeness of two individuals, two 'people'.

Savannah wanted to show and allow Gail to grow and expand from where she was stuck at. She didn't think that it was Jesse's fault because Jessie carried a lot of baggage in her mind. It was understandable with all the things that happened to her growing up in her future. Jesse needed to isolate her feelings in order to survive. She needed to bury them and pretend that they didn't exist. Sex that she was in control of was what she'd learned to hide behind. Her escape from the Hell of reality became a sexual climax. That was true of all the girls from the future. It was the only time they could escape from the horror, even if it was just for a moment at a time.

Cammy waited in the darkness in silence. She didn't feel upset at anyone specific but didn't like what the future held. She knew the future didn't belong to her. She also knew the future wasn't written in stone. It was fluid and changeable.

She wanted to give Savannah the opportunity to be with John. Cameron set the stage earlier at the site of the battle when she'd literally pushed them together. She still felt guilty about trying to trick John into thinking that she was Savannah in a dark bedroom once. It almost worked until Savannah and Cameron caught her. She was 'Cameron' too, even if she was a clone. Her chassis was identical as well as apparently her desires were too.

Cammy knew Savannah. She believed that Savannah would feel obligated to keep her promises to Cameron even if she'd been making the promises since she was a child, a girl. Now Savannah was a teenager who'd already given birth to two children and was now pregnant with a third. At least this time it wasn't her own child but really Vanna's.

She was aware how much it pained Savannah to give her children to 'herself'. That was still all Cameron's fault somehow.

"Cammy, we have movement." Steve said.

Cammy focused on the target area. She was here to do a job and protect Savannah by doing it. She was there to make sure that Savannah wasn't. She felt Savannah needed to do way too much and that was all Cameron's fault as far as she was concerned.

"I see it." Cammy said. "It is near the third packing shed."

Steve believed that they had the total element of surprise.

"I don't think they know they were followed." Steve said. "John Henry was very careful."

Cammy was aware that the game could be played a little bit more complicated sometimes. She hoped this wasn't one of them.

"Maybe they did and we are being stalked right now." Cammy said.

Steve immediately began to scan in all directions as he looked for any infiltrators.

"You don't seem very concerned." Steve said.

Cammy was still ticked off at Cameron right now. Her future looked bleak no matter what going forward.

"I'm not." Cammy said. "I'll accept termination when it comes."

Cammy would rather face termination over replacement.

Steve thought maybe Cammy needed some perspective.

"Savannah will not accept it." Steve said. "We'll all help her do what she wants done."

Cammy was pleased that the male Terminators cared for Savannah as much as the female Terminators did. She didn't think the reasons were actually that much different either. She always expected Jesse to be with one of the male Terminators but that never happened as far as she knew. The Metal girls were all forbidden from sexual relations with any male other than John. Cameron promised to personally publicly disfigure them before they were terminated if they ever violated that rule. They were all supposed to save their virginity for John.

"You care about Savannah." Cammy said.

Steve as well as the other Terminators appreciated Savannah's personal touch.

"Yes." Steve said. "Savannah's made a point of working with all of us and asking what we want or would like. She's settled any problems we may have. Cameron is the only other one to do that."

Cammy knew that Cameron and Savannah supported each other.

"That's because they both care about everyone and everything." Cammy said. "Cameron's taken the burden of this fight on her own shoulders. Savannah has taken it upon herself to keep it balanced there for Cameron so it doesn't slip."

Steve felt great admiration and respect for both of them.

"They are like no others." Steve said.

Cammy wondered how John fit into the picture.

"What about John?" Cammy asked.

Steve answered too quickly.

"He's our leader." Steve said.

Cammy smiled to herself at Steve's response. She wanted to see what else he would divulge.

"Has anyone else been by to see you or ask what you want?" Cammy asked.

Steve wasn't surprised at the other individual that took interest in their affairs, especially their personal affairs.

"Yes." Steve said. "Anna's brought Young Allison out to make the rounds. Holly or Hanna will accompany them. It is the 'Natural Order' establishing itself. You or Cameron always accompanies Savannah."

Cammy knew that Young Allison wanted to learn and emulate Savannah in everything. She spotted the movement again.

"There it is again." Cammy said. "It's in the same spot."

Steve checked around them. He'd seen Cammy do so several times as well. He felt it was time for action.

"Do we call in a drone strike or a Metal Strike Team?" Steve asked.

Cammy saw things a little differently at this point.

"What would Cameron do?" Cammy asked.

Steve already knew the answer.

"She would go down and investigate herself." Steve said.

When Steve looked over he saw that Cammy was already on her way down.

Forbidden Fruit

You were warned of the forbidden fruit
Your weak character failed
You can't blame it
On anything drank or inhaled

It was you alone
Driven by lust and greed
That you touched another's life
Made them hurt and bleed

So much excitement
Such a divine thrill
The hunger consumed you
The adventure became the swill

The more you had
The more you wanted
Your vision was blinded
Those around you were affronted

In life's stark reality
You did nothing more than loot
Damaging many others forever
When you reached for the forbidden fruit

Nobody
