Chapter 1040

Not Into The Future

Cameron brought John to another climatic 'finish'. She'd been able to squeeze a couple more love making sessions out of him. She hadn't made it a few times back because John 'finished' too quickly. This time she made up for it.

John liked what Cameron delivered. It was one wild ride for him.

"Wow!" John gasped.

Cameron kissed John deeply and moved next to him.

"It's only nine hundred and eighty to go." Cameron said.

It took John a moment to catch his breath. He felt really tired.

"Later." John gasped. "I'm exhausted."

Cameron wasn't sure why John was so tired, she'd done all the work since they'd returned to the Resistance base. It was time to move things along. The new day was upon them.

"Do you want to shower?" Cameron asked.

John started to get up but plopped back down on the mattress

"You go first." John said. "I need to rest."

Cameron bent down and gave John another long kiss. She touched him as she did. She could see it was down for the count. It reminded her again of the shortcomings of the human male body. The human female body was much superior when it came to lovemaking.

"I'll be back." Cameron said.

Cameron headed off and took a shower. She returned a few minutes later. She was still drying off as she looked at John.

John looked immobile.

Cameron hoped she hadn't overdone it. John had a few hours of rest in between several of their sessions. She could see he was going to need some assistance.

"Do you want me to carry you into the bathroom?" Cameron asked.

John didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He was physically spent from all of the sexual activity. He needed some time to rest. Cameron really worked him hard. She'd literally drained him dry. He loved every second of it though. He was willing to share every bit of love with Cameron that he could. Even if he was unable to perform, he still wanted to be in her company.

Cameron told him that she wanted to build up his stamina for when they were on the cruise. She wanted to be with him multiple times a day. He didn't know that Savannah told Cameron she needed to get closer to him and show him that she loved him. Cameron figured the way best way to do that was multiple sex acts every day.

"I think I can still walk." John said.

Cameron thought he looked a little wobbly. She wanted to assist him.

"Let me help you." Cameron said. "Sometimes it's nice to have help."

That was a saying that John had heard more than a few times.

"I got it." John said.

John made it to the bathroom on his own. He noticed the time on the clock as he passed by it.

"This is a really late start for me." John called out from the bathroom.

Cameron didn't think it was a big deal. During the times John was asleep she made sure that everything was in order. She'd visited the Command Center a few times as well as made the rounds by the girls' rooms. She hadn't bothered to dress since it was so late at night or early in the morning, depending upon how one looked at it. John Henry's eyes seemed to widen quite a bit when she walked into the Command Center naked several times. There was still plenty of activity in Sheila's room when she passed by several times. It didn't sound like Claire was still in there after the second time she went by. She may have been sleeping too. She wanted to make sure that the Metal girls didn't overdo it with her.

She wanted John to pick up the pace a little bit.

"You'll manage." Cameron said.

Cameron made the bed and laid out clothes for John and her.

There was some disturbance in the hall.

Young Allison looked back at the closed door to Savannah's room.

Anna noticed and knew why.

"You shouldn't have stared at Cammy like that." Anna said.

Young Allison really liked how Cammy looked with her jewelry. She felt it was like looking at a future version of herself. She needed to fill out a little bit more. That would happen soon enough. She was actually surprised how rapidly it had begun and continued.

"I couldn't help it." Young Allison said. "She looked so beautiful and Hot like that. I'm going to do that too, just like that. I want to look just like that. I mean 'everything' too."

Anna didn't think Cameron would allow that. Maybe Savannah could quell her desires.

"You will not." Anna said. "You will have other 'functions'."

Young Allison saw Jesse adorned like that for years and she didn't have any problems to nurse Precious. She shouldn't either when she would need to nurse Cameron's baby.

"We'll see." Young Allison said.

Anna didn't want to get blamed for this by Cameron.

"We will not." Anna said. "You know the future. It must not be altered."

Young Allison thought she should be able to do what she wanted with her own body.

"I'm going to." Young Allison said. "You can't stop me. I can look how I want. It's my own body. I can do what I choose to do with it."

The more Young Allison pushed, the more Anna pushed back.

Young Allison and Anna were arguing as they walked along, it got louder and more heated. It seemed to be more of a 'lover's quarrel' at this point. They weren't physical lovers. They might as well have been. They were around each other all of the day and all of the night.

The door to John's room opened as they neared it.

"What's the problem here?" Cameron asked as she looked out.

Cameron boldly stood naked in the doorway. She saw Young Allison and Anna were arguing. That was unusual for them. She monitored all of their interactions.

She straightened and smiled when Young Allison looked at her. She slowly moved behind the door, halfway almost. She wanted to look like she was being modest but Young Allison could still see two thirds of her nude figure.

She made sure Young Allison could see all the 'good stuff'. She thought if Young Allison would have seen her before she showered, she might have been able to get a glimpse of what occurred. She would have told Young Allison that she'd been making sandwiches and that was mayonnaise.

Young Allison was able to see the naked beauty of Cammy and Cameron less than a minute apart. Cameron still looked more beautiful, even if Cammy was identical and sported the jewelry.

"Wow!" Young Allison said. "You look beautiful, Cameron."

Cameron smiled and let the door swing away from her naked figure so Young Allison and Anna could see all of her again.

"This is your beauty, Allison. You'll look exactly like THIS one day. It will be soon." Cameron said. "I'm sorry I'm not dressed. I heard a disturbance. I needed to make sure it was safe for John."

Anna watched Young Allison stare at Cameron.

"Stop staring." Anna whispered to Young Allison.

Young Allison couldn't wait to look like that.

"I'm sorry." Young Allison said.

Cameron didn't think it was a big deal. She heard John finish up in the bathroom.

"Excuse me while I get dressed." Cameron said.

She reached for the door to close it.

"Who's that?" John asked as he exited out of the bathroom.

He was still naked. He didn't know Cameron was standing naked in the doorway.

Anna pulled Young Allison away from the door as it closed slowly. It was clear that she'd seen John naked too in the background.

"That was very rude of you." Anna said.

Young Allison was able to see a lot today in just over a minute.

"I just saw my future." Young Allison said. "All of it."

Anna didn't want to comment on that.

They walked along as the tension in the background built again. The argument was ready to start all over.

Anna knew Young Allison seemed to have become very vocal and not afraid to say what was on her mind. It was what Cameron wanted. Cameron wanted Young Allison to speak up for herself and for what she believed in. She wanted Young Allison to stand firm and not back down if she was right or believed in something.

"Let's go find your mother or sister." Anna said.

Young Allison was very dissatisfied that she needed to argue with Anna. She'd witnessed her future and wanted it. She didn't want to 'fight' with Anna. It bothered her very much. She just didn't like anyone to tell her what to do with her body or what not to do with it. Savannah told her more than once that nobody was allowed to do that. Her body belonged to her.

Young Allison stopped and looked around. An idea popped into her head. She'd just looked at her future. It was all there for her within the span of a minute. There was Savannah, Cameron and John. All of them were there and ripe for the taking. So was she but none of them could see it. There was a way to fix that. She could do it herself. She needed to ditch Anna.

"I want to go somewhere else first." Young Allison said. "Wait here until I return."

Young Allison turned around and headed back in the other direction.

Anna wondered where she was headed. It seemed like a bad idea to her whatever it was. Since she didn't know what it was, it seemed like a really bad idea.

"Where are you going?" Anna asked.

Anna stood there and watched her go. She didn't have a good feeling about this.

Young Allison hurried away and didn't look back. That seemed to have a sense of finality to it.

As Young Allison passed Sheila's room, the door opened and her mother and Hanna were standing there about to walk out. Sheila and Ally were in back of them. They were on the bed together. They were hard at 'work' on each other. Hanna quickly closed the door with Claire and her still inside to block Young Allison's view.

Young Allison looked in as she passed. She saw everything. It was nothing new to her. She knew her future was calling her. She could hear it and see it. She could feel it. When she saw Ally and Sheila together she wanted a taste of her future as well.

Young Allison started to run. She ran towards the TDE room.

Anna saw Young Allison take off running and started to run after her. She wasn't sure what was happening. The feeling of dread increased. She shouldn't have let Young Allison get that far away from her. So far there was no explanation as to why she'd taken off running.

Hanna, from behind the closed door, heard Young Allison start to run. It was followed by the sound of a cyborg running after her. What was happening here? Hanna quickly opened the door again and stepped out into the hall. She didn't know if this was a possible threat to Young Allison. Maybe someone went 'bad'. It happened sometimes, nobody knew why.

Young Allison looked back and saw Anna following her. She was now running as well. As she went around the corner she saw Hanna step out of the room and confront Anna.

Anna was surprised as Hanna stepped out in front of her. She looked in the room and saw Sheila and Ally 'together' and Claire standing there with a confused look on her face.

"Move…." Anna said as she dodged past Hanna.

Anna slammed into Hanna and knocked her off balance.

Hanna made a lunge at Anna. She wanted to know why Anna was after Young Allison before she would let her pass. There was no reason why Anna should be chasing Young Allison. She managed to grab her ankle as she fell. It caused Anna to trip and fall as well.

The sense of dread flooded over Anna even more. She needed to get to Young Allison and stop her. She was sure where she was headed.

"Let go of me." Anna said. "I have to stop her."

Claire watched as Anna and Hanna ended up on the floor in a heap.

"Stop who?" Claire asked.

Claire came out of Sheila's room.

Sheila and Ally now stood behind Claire as well, both of them were still naked. They were both aware something wasn't right.

Seconds ago:

John thought he saw someone outside before Cameron closed the door.

"Who was that?" John asked.

Cameron wasn't about to tell him it was Young Allison.

"Nobody…." Cameron said. "It was just some people passing by."

John looked over at the closed door. He didn't think too much about it.

"Oh." John said.

Cameron slipped her underwear on followed by a pair of pants. She looked at her shirt and was about to put on her bra.

She was still listening to Young Allison and Anna. Now she heard them running.

'What the Hell?' Cameron thought.

Cameron then heard the struggle and Anna say she needed to stop Young Allison.

Wait.

Cameron deduced that Young Allison was headed for the TDE room.

Panic filled Cameron. The TDE here still only worked into the future, not the past.

Cameron raced out of the room. She dropped her bra and grabbed her shirt on the way out.

John watched Cameron run topless from the room with her shirt in her hand, with a confused look on his face.

'What the Hell?' John thought.

Cameron knew she needed to stop Young Allison. If she was able to start the TDE she would end up in the future somewhere. If it was a Skynet future 'anything' could happen to her. It WOULD happen to her. She already started to picture Young Allison being savaged by Scavengers.

She sprinted down the hall and saw Anna and Hanna still sprawled on the floor with Claire, Ally and Sheila looking at them.

Cameron bypassed that turn and continued along straight. She needed to intercept Young Allison.

She now realized this was what John must have felt the day she left with the girls and the events that led to the 'TDE Incident' and the creation of the Duplicates. It wasn't a good feeling. She would need to apologize to him again about it. She wondered if she would be the one pounding on the glass as Young Allison disappeared into the unknown.

It crossed her mind again that no one really understood something until it actually happened to them. This seemed to be a perfect example of that. She needed to nip this in the bud before it got too far. She didn't know how much time she actually had.

She intended to stop this before it started.

John Henry still replayed the events of last night, he wasn't paying attention. His server sent him a warning. He disregarded it as he reviewed his interactions with Sheila. He'd been surprised to see Cameron appear several times during the night completely naked in the Command Center. He reviewed those files as well. To see Cameron nude was nothing new for anyone. To see her nude anytime was extra special for anyone. The beauty radiated off of her. He wondered how often she'd been with John. There was nothing visible. He wondered if she'd done anything before she came out.

CamNet sent a warning and it brought him around.

John Henry wondered why CamNet was there on his system sending him an alert. He wondered how long he'd been 'inattentive'. CamNet was in all his systems to see what was wrong with him.

He now looked at the monitor with Young Allison running and Anna running after her. Then Hanna and Anna were sprawled on the floor in some kind of altercation. Cameron was also running but she was headed in a different direction after seeing Anna and Hanna on the floor.

Was this an attack of some sort? Maybe a Terminator went 'bad'. It was clear that something happened.

John Henry wondered if he should sound the alarm.

Cameron came around the corner and saw the door to the TDE room was open. She didn't think Young Allison knew how to operate the TDE but she knew Young Allison studied everything. Maybe she did. Maybe CamNet was helping her. If CamNet was, she was going to deactivate CamNet. If CamNet allowed Young Allison to leave, it was the final straw.

So far the TDE hadn't powered up. That was a good thing.

Cameron could hear crying as she approached. She slowed and stood in the doorway. As long as the TDE wasn't running she wanted to see how things played out on their own.

"You need to let me go." Young Allison sobbed.

Cameron heard 'her voice'.

"Not into the future." CamNet said. "I'll accept deactivation first. I will trade my existence for yours. I will not be responsible for any damage done to you or your termination. You may come to Cameron's base and personally deactivate me. I'll open the bunker doors for you. I will not resist. I will not be the one to kill you."

Young Allison believed there was one future that was less risky than the others. She knew there were those already there who would watch over her. She was sure they would assist her when she told him what she was there for. There was also a way back.

"Send me to River's future." Young Allison said. "I can come back older and be like River."

CamNet wasn't going to take any chances. There was always the risk of a temporal error. There was no one with Young Allison to protect her. She didn't want Young Allison to be changed either.

"NO." CamNet said.

Young Allison felt there were too many restrictions placed on her. She didn't believe that any of them truly understood her. They didn't know how advanced she was. She wasn't a girl anymore. She hadn't been a girl for years. She wanted her destiny. She wanted her future.

"I need to protect Savannah and Cameron." Young Allison said. "They won't let me like this."

Cameron saw Anna and Hanna come tearing around the corner. She waved them off.

They both slowed and stopped. Cameron motioned for them to go back. They reluctantly did. They saw Cameron seemed to have everything under control. The TDE hadn't powered up so they were a little less concerned as they retreated.

John Henry saw Cameron was there at the TDE room now. She waved Anna and Hanna off. Everything seemed under control. He wouldn't hit the panic button and sound the general alarm. He now tried to see what happened and what he'd missed. He was a little concerned at how distracted he'd been.

Claire looked around the corner and wondered what happened.

Sheila and Ally stood naked behind her. They'd remained with Claire in case a further problem developed.

Hanna and Ally came back around the corner almost as soon as they'd gone around it.

"Was that My Allison?" Claire asked.

The 'Cameron' in Anna knew she needed to cover this up or Claire would never let Young Allison go on her temporal mission, her proper temporal mission.

"Yes." Anna said. "We were playing 'Tag'. I needed to perform at the same level as a human female. That's why I was unable to catch her."

Hanna was getting ready to say something. She thought Claire deserved a better explanation.

"She won." Anna said as she glared at Hanna. "Leave it at that. You know that she likes to win."

Hanna looked at Anna and she knew different. It was clear Anna was covering for Young Allison. It was their duty to follow the wishes of the 'Chosen Ones'. She figured she'd better come up with some explanation as to why Anna and her were sprawled on the floor outside of Sheila's room.

"I bumped into Anna and knocked her down." Hanna said. "It was an accident. I didn't do it on purpose."

Sheila and Ally looked at each other and headed back to the bed. They figured it was best if they didn't get involved or offer any further comment. The sooner things return to 'normal', the quicker everything would pass by. They would need to start over again. That was fine with both of them.

Anna thought it was best to get Claire away from the area. She didn't like leaving Young Allison behind with Cameron but the TDE hadn't turned on so she wasn't as worried. She didn't want Claire to know what almost happened.

"We can go check on Summer." Anna said. "Hanna can stay with Sheila and Ally if you don't mind."

Claire looked at Hanna and nodded. She was pretty tired out. She knew she was going to need a nap later on. She hadn't gotten much sleep in the company of three Metal girls. There was always one of them working on her. There was always one waiting for her to work on them. Most of them happened simultaneously. She'd been very busy.

Anna led Claire away from where Cameron and Young Allison were.

She knew that Cameron could handle everything herself. It appeared that CamNet also assisted Cameron. She thought there was one person who Young Allison needed right now more than anyone. It was a person she needed more than a machine. It was the person who could give her the love and feeling that she needed right now.

Anna looked back at Hanna and mouthed the word. 'Savannah'.

Hanna moved away from Claire and took out her phone. She didn't want Claire to overhear her so she was careful with what she said. She called Savannah and asked her to go to the TDE room alone as soon as she could.

Savannah took the call from Hanna. It was short and concise. It sounded urgent.

Cammy heard the conversation. Savannah was supposed to go to the TDE room as soon as possible. She was supposed to go by herself.

"Why does she want you to go there alone?" Cammy asked.

Cammy was fixing her hair. It was the hardest thing to get right.

Savannah could hear the urgency in Hanna's voice.

"I don't know." Savannah said. "I'm going to go there now to check it out."

It didn't seem like a big deal to Cammy.

"I'll go check on Young Allison and Anna." Cammy said. "We can all meet up in the commissary."

Savannah felt there was another issue that needed to be addressed as well.

"We need to find Claire and see what she and Young Allison are going to decide on what to do." Savannah said.

Cammy felt a slight glitch impulse but was able to suppress it. What happened last night was a clear indication of the writing on the wall. She was aware that the future was coming and it was going to knock everyone out of the way. She did want Savannah to think about her going forward.

"Will you have Young Allison move here, into our room?" Cammy asked. "I mean your room."

Savannah caught Cammy's choice of words. She really hadn't thought about it. Young Allison actually had a room next to hers. There was a door in her room that connected to that one. On the other side of her room there was another door that connected to an empty room. That room was for Young Jesse if she moved to the Resistance base.

She also needed to think about the Young residence. There was a fortified bunker there with a fully functional alternate Command Center. She'd already given it a lot of thought. If Young Allison and her were together, it wouldn't be long before Young Allison wanted to 'make the rounds' and be with all of the females. Young Allison already told her she was going to do that. Young Allison said she was going to do everything that she'd done. That bothered her immensely. Young Allison belonged to her. She also couldn't deny Young Allison the same pleasures that she'd experienced. If they remained at the Young residence there would be a little more control over who would visit and for how long. She thought it would be better for them if they could each have privacy when they needed it.

"I really don't know what will happen going forward. There are simply too many variables to consider at this time." Savannah said. "I could end up in Palmdale in Allison's room for all I know right now."

New worry flooded Cammy. Why would Savannah pick Allison over Young Allison? she wondered if she would be with both of them simultaneously.

"Really?" Cammy asked. "You would move in with Allison?"

Savannah could see that her choice of words might have been a little confusing. She wasn't confused with what she wanted to do. She wanted to be with Young Allison. She also knew as Young Allison expanded her sexual appetite that they would need privacy. It would be better if they each had their own room at the Young residence. She would want Cammy there as well.

"I meant if Allison stays here with Vanna." Savannah said. "I'd like you to come with me. We would use her room then."

Savannah left to go to the TDE room.

Cammy stared at the door after Savannah left. She'd heard everything that Savannah said. Savannah wanted her own room so that they could still be together when she was available. She realized that Savannah was never going to throw her away. She didn't know if Cameron would be as accommodating. Once Savannah and Young Allison were with Cameron and John, everything was going to be different.

Now she needed to question what she'd done with Sheila last night. She was pretty sure that she wanted Sheila to 'take her out'. She knew that no other Terminator would have pushed her that far. She was aware that Jesse had gone so far that she'd made it to the 'other side'. Gail needed to 'bring her back' more than once. Jesse had literally been pleasured to death. She really thought if someone was going to terminate that it was the way to go. It was how she wanted to go out. She was pretty sure but she wanted to make it to the other side and not have anybody bring her back. There was peace and tranquility on the other side. There was nothing there but nothing. She would need to have Sheila try to send her through again. She wanted to break on through to the other side. Her future awaited her there.

Cammy smiled as she finished fixing herself up. She took one look in the mirror and smiled again. The sound of silence would offer eternal serenity.

Not Into The Future

What tomorrow will bring
There's no way to know for sure
It could be full of nothingness
It could be flooded with allure

Does tomorrow ever come
Will there be that juncture
It could be a cancer
It could be a cure

Plans in life are wishful
They're easy to fracture
They represent a falsehood
One's soul is easy to lure

The past is easier to live in
One already knows the picture
There's no need for
An unknown adventure

Never look to the stars
There's nothing to capture
It's the prison of the ancient past
Not into the future

Nobody
