Reign of the Cameron: Chapter 17, by The Crusader

"This is problematic." Cameron said.

John really didn't need her to state the obvious right now.

"Cameron, don't." Then he turned towards Allison. "Allison, I…" John began.

It was too late, Allison quickly turned her back on him and left.

"You want to go after her, don't you?" Cameron asked.

"Well it's just-"

"Go. She needs to understand."

John couldn't help but agree with her on that. He got out of his tent, leaving Cameron behind and pursued Allison. He found her near her own tent, crying and vomiting. John stood there for a moment, trying to find the right words. Of all the things he prepared for, fighting machines, avoiding death, this strange situation now seemed the most difficult. How was he going to explain what she saw?
"You should get some sleep." John said, hoping that maybe if he gave her the night, he might come up with something to say to her. And maybe she might cool off.

"Don't talk to me. Ever again." She said, with a voice even colder than The Eradicator's. John shook his head.

"You don't mean that." The tears continued to stream down Allison's face. The fact that it was the same face that Cameron once word just made it worse.

"I trusted you. I believed in you, risked myself for you. They told me I was wrong, that you were hiding something. But I said, "no John Connor is the most honest man I know." She broke out into a huge sob, making John feel terrible. She was his trusted friend and he clearly broke her heart. She tried desperately to hide it however, wiping the tears away.

"A MACHINE!" She exclaimed. "Cameron was a machine the whole time. What the Hell is wrong with you?"

"She wasn't always like this."

"Whatever Cameron once was, it was to trick you. I can't believe you'd let it deceive you like this. You've endangered all of us."

"She's not like the others."
"I told you, that's what they always say. What have you told the machine so far? And don't lie to me."

"Nothing that concerns you."

"That's not for you to decide, it's for our-I mean-MY commanding officer."

"So you're going to report me?"

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't."

"There are things happening here that you don't understand. But believe me when I say that I do." "Believe you? I wish I could."

And she walked away from him. He tried to get her to talk, but she dismissed him and ignored him. John knew that this wasn't going to go over well, and he had to get Cameron away before this affected her too.

"You are in danger." Cameron told him outside his tent.

"We don't know that. She's my friend, she'll understand." John replied.

"She doesn't want to be your friend. She's in love with you." "If that's true, she'll want me to be happy and eventually she'll accept you."

"No. She's jealous and she'll try to hurt me."

"What makes you so sure?"

"I would."

"Well this is why you need to law low, at least until this cools off."

"Skynet will attack soon, John."

"Right now the Resistance isn't willing to have machines fighting along side them. But I promise you that they will be."

"I would wait for that, but we do not have much time." Cameron's metal hand held an earpiece in it. "If Skynet attacks or if Allison threatens you, contact me and I will come. I will not let anything happen to you."

"And I won't let anything happen to you. That's why you have to go right now. I promise I will see you again soon."

"What if they won't let you?"

"The Seeker will always find a way." John said with a grin on his face.

Cameron waited there for a moment, almost as if for a kiss. But John was already on the move, afraid that anyone else might see the two of them and not understand. Cameron hurried away from the camp. As John walked back towards Allison's tent, he wondered how many people already knew about Cameron. Did Allison tell anyone?

Allison dried her tears and strengthened her resolve. She loved John Connor and hated what she was about to do. But she knew it was best for him, and for the Resistance. She picked up her radio communicator and made a transmission.

"This is Young. De omnibus dubitandum."

This was Latin for "be suspicious of everything, doubt everything" and it was the code word to signal that a traitor had been exploited.

Suddenly she heard John's voice come from outside. "Allison no! Don't! Please, hear me out." She tried to ignore it.

"It seems that General Reese was right to suspect John Connor…" She continued.

"Allison, please. If our friendship meant anything to you, give me one last chance."

Allison thought for a moment. The silence bothered the soldier she communicated with. He kept calling her name, but Allison ignored it. She decided to walk outside and confront John Connor one last time.

She opened the tent and stepped outside. "Our friendship? Our friendship was based on lies and-"

Allison gasped in terror. She didn't find John Connor, instead she saw someone who looked quite a lot like her. Only she was dressed in all black, wore her hair up in a tight bun, and hid her eyes behind sunglasses. She held a laser pistol and placed it towards Allison's forehead…
