Chapter 5

Laura looks through the cracked door and can see that Carmilla isn't moving, her eyes are closed and there is blood on her the sight of the red Laura's heart drops, feeling like it was weighing her down where she stood. She takes a step closer and starts to push on the door when it makes an ear piercing screech. The sound wakes the weak vampire and her eyes dart open, towards where the sound came from, instantly knowing it was her tiny human snooping around trying to be the hero. She shakes her head no and thrashes around in her chair. Her garlic necklace hitting her on her skin every once and a while, causing her to hiss a bit behind the old cloth rapped around her head to cover her mouth. Laura watches Carmilla's display if distress and knows that she doesn't want her in there, what could be so bad that Carm wouldn't want her in there? Then she thought again and realized that a spider could be bad enough that the over protective Vampire wouldn't want her in there. So she slowly crouches' down and starts to open the door a bit.

Seeing this, the tied up woman's thrashing stops. Instead of trying to get Laura to go away the only thing she can do now is hope the girl doesn't get caught. She watches with worried eyes as Laura slowly crawls over toward the other entrances to the small area they are in, she looks down the hall ways and listens to the silence that makes her ears ring a little. After checking everything she notices a piece of paper that looks like someone had started to write on it but something made the person stop. The note read, 'I never asked for any of this, I wasn't even supposed to be here when all of this happened. I knew coming here was the worst idea-' then the writing was cut off. There are a few ink splatters on the page bellow the writing and a couple jagged lines that run off if the page. She grabs the page a folds it up to put in her pocket when she hears the chair Carmilla was sitting in tip over and hit the floor with a hard thud. Laura whips around but before she is able to see what happened to the tied up vampire someone in a black hooded cloak stands between the two and blocks Laura's visual of Carmilla and the figure lifts its cape up, causing everything visible to Laura to turn to dark that her mind wasn't able to understand what was happening. Before she knew it she had blacked out and dreamt of a moody Vampire.

*a few hours later*

"…ra…..aura… laura wake….wake up…" the soft voice was like velvet in her ears as she listen to the angel speak her name. She floats in and out of consciousness when she feels a nudge at her knee.

"Laura wake up…" another nudge, but a little harder this time. Laura crumbles at the voice and realizes she can't tell the voice to let her sleep because her mouth is covered by something that smells a little like a men's locker room. The brunette's eyes shoot open and she looks around in panic, her breathing increases and she is starting to see stars when she feels the push on her leg again.

"Hey Laura, you're okay cupcake." The raven haired girl looks around and mutters to herself. "Well, for now." She turns back toward to girl sitting across from her who is also tied up to a chair now with much less restraints, however still stuck to her seat. The smaller girl looks at the woman sitting across from her with fear in her eyes. Carmilla can see Laura shaking and tries to calm to girl down.

"Laura, just calm down, I am going to get you out of here. No one will hurt you sweetie, I will make sure of that."

"Oh isn't that just sweet. You know, you were never that kind to me." a hooded figure comes out from shadows and walks towards Carmilla. The figure was very obviously female because of the high pitched, feminine voice. However what confirmed it was when the girl walked over to Carmilla and ran a hand over the constricted woman's chest and into her shirt through the top. Carmilla shakes back and forth in her chair trying to somehow get the girls hand off of her.

"Get the fuck off of me; I don't know what the hell you are talking about. Explain why you have us tied up and what you want with us." The girl pushes down further and Laura can see the lift in Carmilla's shirt as the girl reaches the vampires Leather pants, slowly trying to creep under them as Carmilla thrashes around. The human can feel her anger building as this hooded stranger touches the girl she loves. The more this girl touches her the more the spark of anger grew more and more. Finally Laura sees the pop of release as the pants button gives and the girl pushes her hand further. Laura's spark of anger turned into a raging fire at that point.

"ET U UCK UFF ER!" Laura screams at the top of her lungs, the fire in her chest runs through her vanes like boiling hot lava ripping through anything that gets in its way, setting fire to anything it touches. Laura pulls at the ropes around her wrists, quickly producing rope burns on her wrists, thrashing around in her chair. She throws herself back in the chair and it tips over after a few tries causes the hooded figure to gasp and retract her hand.

"Laura!" the weak vampire yells out for her fallen ex-lover. The hooded woman walks over to the girl on the floor and grabs a hand full brown hair and yanks Laura up, along with her chair, making the girl scream in pain as the hooded woman lifts her own weight plus the old wooden chairs up in the air and slams her down with a crash to the hard floor. Laura hears the chair crack a bit, threatening to break under the force of her weight and the power of the hooded woman. Laura try's to take advantage of the weak chair by throwing herself around in it more, hoping it will give under her.

"Stop you little shit!" the mystery woman takes ahold of Laura's neck and lifts her again, cutting off the girl's air.

"Please whoever you are, please stop! Please I will do anything you want just please stop hurting her!" the hooded woman in black looks at Carmilla from under her hood and then looks back at the girl hanging from her throat, gasping through the cloth that has been shoved in her mouth, her eyes turning blood shot.

"Whatever you want I will do for you just let her go and release us!" the hooded woman watches as Laura's struggling slowly becomes weaker and her eyes start to roll back. Finally she drops her and the girl gasps for air quickly. The hooded woman digs the cloth out of Laura's mouth and pulls a knife out from under her cape. Carmilla screams at her.

"NO!" the woman in black thrusts the knife down and Carmilla looks away. When she looks back after never hearing the sound of blood spilling and the iron scent never hit her nose. She opens her eyes and looks to see Laura's body slumped over and the ropes cut from her, the woman covered in a black cloak walks over behind Carmilla and cuts her free as well. Her arms fall from behind her to her side and she rubs her wrist while looking at the hooded woman, trying to figure out who it is. She then walks over to Laura cautiously and lifts her up to be cradled in her arms. She checks the passed out college students pulse and checks her neck for any bruising. Four small black marks were left on the girl's neck and one more on the other side. The now very angry woman holding her passed out ex, looks at the hooded woman and hisses at her. Her fangs where out and her eyes were a brilliant yellow.

"I don't know who the fuck you think you are but I know that you are no friend of mine. Leave me and my human alone." Carmilla goes to walk away when she feels a pull at her heart. She turns around knowing that only one person was able to do that. The woman in the hood holds on tightly to something attached to a gold chain necklace and squeezes harder. Carmilla falls to her knees and feels like her heart is being crushed. The girl lifts her hood to reveal a smile that made Carmilla's hair stand on end. A single tear falls from the dumb struck vampire.

"No… you can't be… how are you?..."

Let me know how you feel so far. Who you think the hooded girl is?
