A/N: Revised
Camillla leaned her forehead against the cool wall as a rush of dizziness overwhelmed her. The hot water rushing down on her, over her body,warming it. She'd been here, in the bath, for quite awhile. No matter how much she scrubbed her body she couldn't seem to be able to erase the terrible feeling of that disgusting vampire's touch on her.
Someone knocked at the door and a feminine voice Cami recognised as Isabel called at her. Camilla sighed and closed off the running water before stepping out of the shower, grabbed a towel and wrapped her body in it, toddled over to the door on insecure feet and opened it slightly to look at Isabel. "Yes?"The girl answered, not really understanding what the woman wanted.
"You've been in there for almost 2 hours, not that you can't - I was just worried that something was wrong" The beautiful brunette said, a caring smile on her lips.
Isabel had been one to take care that Camilla was dressed and fed, overall taken good care of and Camilla had awoken some of the dwelling maternal instincts in the old vampire, so Isabel didn't really mind taking care of the youngster.
The girl forced a smile to form and nodded. " I'm fine, I promise" She mumbled and tugged at her soaked black hair. Her eyes downcast as she felt rather guilty for lying to the caring disliked dishonesty but she couldn't bring herself to utter the thoughts that haunted her mind.
She was distantly wondering if she should call her host family and let them know why she wasn't home yet but after trying to call, She realized then that it was night and they had left her home alone for the week since they had some family to visit, because of some new addition to it and Camilla had not wished to intrude on the family idyl and thus she had been allowed to stay home laone this week.
Isabel smiled at the girl, even though she knew that the youngster clearly wasn't 'fine', but she dared not dig in it for now, and thus she turned on her highheels and gracefully left for the living-room.
Camilla had decided to thank for the hospitality before the vampires went to sleep and return to her host family's home when the sun rose.
She doubled over and started ruffling her raven black hair with the towel, humming to herself, doing what she always did - escaped into the midst of music to comfort herself.
"Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one"
She sung to herself, just above a whisper.
Her hair was dry now and she was carefully brushing the material of the towel across her pale skin, wiping away the cooling drops of water.
Camilla frowned when she was just about to leave the bathroom, realizing she had no underwear or anything to wear now. Everything was soaked in her own blood or shredded.
She wrapped the towel around herself and left the bathroom after peeking through the door, securing that no one was in the room before she walked across the room as silent as possible and scooped her clothing up, turned on her heel and was just about to hurry back to the bathroom when Godric stood infront of her, staring down at her. Camilla hadn't heard him and he scared her so much that she let out a shriek and dropped her clothing and her towel to the floor.
The now naked girl shrieked again,blushed deeply and bowed down to grab the things dropped to the floor and ran to the bathroom, closed it with a slam and leaned her back against the door, sliding down onto the floor, heart pounding terribly.
Camilla hid her face in her hands, deeply embarrassed. She couldn't believe he had seen her naked. Horror filled her and she wanted to cry. She hated being naked, disliked the fact of showing off skin. She never felt pretty or attractive, often felt the exact opposite and thus she usually covered up, hid herself in hoodies and jeans. Damn she even disliked going bathing because she had to wear a bathingsuit.
And now He, Godric, saw her naked. How could she ever meet his gaze again? Ever look up from the floor? Had..he been disgusted? Had the haunting words she had been told so many times been true ? Was she really that gross?
Tears welled up in her eyes and she could do nothing but do her her best to strangle the sobs that formed and threatened to overwhelm her .
She pulled on her panties,forcing her thoughts away from the incident, closed the purple bra around her chest and slipped into a pair of black tightfitted jeans and a pink tanktop that went a little to low for her liking. But she didn't really have anything else now did she?
Put her black hair up in a loose bun with a few locks of hair framing her face still. Placed eyeliner upon her face, applied mascara and then she sighed. Bit her lip as she tried to summon the courage to stand face to face with Godric again. She didn't fear him, oh no, she was simply so embarrassed that she wished to crawl into some hole.
Camilla lightly thumped her forehead against the door, and then she opened the door and stepped out into the room.
Shuffled through some hall, and into the living-room, could you call it that when no one in the house is actually alive?
Camilla stood there, awkward as she knew she held the attention of the two vampires. So old and had without doubt seen so much! Learned so many languages and seen so many changes.
When Godric motioned for her to sit down, she did, hesitating only for a minute before doing so.
"Camilla, There are some things you need to know."
"O..kay" She answered,dragging on the answer frowning slightly. Godric sounded so serious that she couldn't help but worry.
"The vampire that attacked you were one of my 2nd in commands. I'm terribly sorry for the fear and the scars this has caused you. He will be meeting his true Death by the end of the week after having been denied blood of any kind until then. He will be left outside for the dawn to take him. "Godric said, looking apologetic yet stern.
Camilla frowned, a second in command? Why would someone go on rampage like that? Cami was kind of wondering If she could like, take her own revenge?
Wouldn't it have been fair if she could take her revenge like Haylie did in the movie Hard Candy? Or Like that Jessica in ' I spit on your grave' . Apparently not...
A smile threatened to form on her lips at the thought of castrating a vampire or drowning him and burning off his face with acid.. Would that even be possible?
Cami nodded when she realized that she should probably answer him. "Thats..fine ..I guess. I um Thank you for the hospitality that has been offered. Ill be returning home to my host family's home soon enough.." Camilla murmured, cringing a bit at the thought of having to alone home for a whole week after this kind of incident.
"You are welcome, little one" Godric said, smiling ever so slightly
Isabel tilted her head. " Host family?"she repeated looking curious. "Um, Yeah.. I'm an Exchange Student ..Ive been here for maybe a month." Camilla answered, looking to the left.
"Is there someone home, so you wont be alone?" Isabel asked, looking worried. Camilla bit her lip and ruffled her hair. "Not until next week. They left to visit some family today..or well yesterday since its almost dawn."
Isabel looked even more worried and Camilla raised her hands in a calming gesture, Godric was simply sitting there listening, that was kind of freaking her out aswell.
"I'll be fine! I probably won't leave the house for awhile and have nightmares and be unable to eat but I'm okay, I swear!"Camilla tried to calm them but failed obviously and she bit her lip, frowning slightly. Hoping she wouldn't end up with trauma's and become afraid of the dark like som kid.
"But, ehm..Rest well "Camilla said with polite smile and got up onto her feet. Pondering distantly where she was in the city and how the hell she was gonna get home from here. If she got lost from the freakin library, how would she get home from here?
Godric seemed to have noticed this too and offered that when his dayman came, he could take her home. Camilla lit up an smile and thanked him beamingly.
