Chapter 7

"So you are telling me that you basically made a horcrux and put your heart in it. You gave it to Ell who still had it when she died, you didn't die along with her so you assumed that she was still alive because you kept seeing her in your dreams. However when you saw her spirit you thought for sure that meant she was dead and that you were still alive by chance. When you stabbed the light on the angler fish god it released all of the spirits." Laura is sitting Indian style across from her vampire savior as she attempts to understand what the hell is happening.

"Now we are assuming that when she was released into the afterlife she made a deal with a demon because of the grudge she holds against you and is now a vengeance demon." Carmilla nods her head as she sits against the wall, arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Yup and not only is she a demon now but she also has my heart... we don't know what she could with it. She never used it against me while we were still together and this time she was able to squeeze it and it felt like she was literally crushing my heart." Laura's smile immediately falls into a worried frown.

"What do you think she wants to do to you?" Laura reaches a hand out and touches Carmilla's knee, causing the woman to jerk back, remembering the last time Laura had touched her skin. When the contact only brought comfort and a warm touch the still healing vampire leaned into the touch a bit. The warmth of the other girls touch soothed the pain in the wounded vampire's chest. When Ell squeezed her heart it was like something inside of her was being crushed.

"I think she will do anything she can do to hurt me and she knows that the best way to hurt me is by hurting you so you will not be leaving my side until we find out what to do." Carmilla reaches out and pulls Laura next to her; the smaller girl is taken by surprise by the motion of affection but still moved in closer to cuddle into the older girls shoulder.

"I won't let anything happen to you cupcake." Carmilla kisses the top of Laura's head and the small girl closes her eyes in response.

"I know you won't." Laura wraps her arm around Carmilla's front and pulls her closer. The two girls fall asleep in each other's arms.

*after a good night of sleep*

Carmilla wakes up, lying on the Laura's pallet alone. She looks around franticly her eyes wide with worry and her heart beating as fast as someone who had been dead for over 3oo years can. A hundred different scenarios cross her mind as to what could have happened to her maybe too heroic human. She stands and searches around the room.

"Laura? Laura where are you?" as she calls out her voice starts to shake, the adrenaline being release out of her body as she speeds through the room and the nearby hall ways. Tears start to form in the corner of her eyes in anger; she lets out a long and loud growl as she calls out for Laura once again.

"LAURA!" the walls shake, causing dust, dirt, and concrete to fall to the floor. A few more paintings fall off of the wall and hit the ground. The glass shatters out of them and the upset vampire whips around and looks behind her at the sound of footsteps.

"What in the name of Hogwarts are you doing Carm?! If you keep screaming like that you might take the whole building down further into… well where ever we are." As soon as Carmilla sees Laura standing there with a box full of tampons in her hand her anger and fear quickly turns into frustration and a little bit of relief. She runs up on Laura and looks her up and down.

"Are you okay?" Carmilla looks at the box of tampons in Laura's hand.

"Where did you get those from?" Laura looks down and she points down the hall way she had just come out of.

"I was looking for the bathroom to take a hippy bath and I found these under the sink. I thought they might come in handy." The frustrated vampire snaps.

"Are you kidding me? What did I tell you last night? Do not go anywhere without me, we have no idea what Ell could be planning but it will most likely have something to do with hurting you. Next time you leave tell me, I am going with you everywhere." Laura looks at the angry woman in front of her and realizes she could have made a better decision when it comes to going off and doing things.

"I'm sorry Carm I had no idea you were being so literal about the whole 'We go everywhere together' thing." Carmilla crosses her arms over her chest and tilts her head to the side.

"Laura have I ever joked about your safety?"

"Well of course not but did you really want to go to the bathroom with me?" Carmilla's eyes go wide and if her face was able to turn red she would be the shade of a clown's nose.

"Uh, no I wouldn't." she lies to both herself and Laura. Turning around she adds to the statement.

"Just please let me know if you are going to go somewhere so I don't have a damn coronary."

"Well I was actually about to go to the vending machines and get a snack but I don't think its necessary for you to go with me, it's just the vending machi-" the young girl was cut off by a blur of black whipping by her, causing her to stumble back a bit. She turns around and sees Carmilla waiting at the bottom of the stairs that lead them toward the vending machines.

"What are you waiting on sweet heart? I thought you were hungry?" Laura watches as Carmilla starts up the stairs. She tries hard to keep her eyes on her back but they travel down the sleek body until they land on a perfectly round, leather clad ass. Laura's mouth starts to water as she remembers night of that ass sitting on her-

"Are you going to stand there all day of are you coming with me." Her concentration back where is should be, she starts up the stairs behind the well-formed woman. They walked one behind the other for a while in the silent stairwell, both pondering what to say to the other. They both knew that the other still had feelings for each other and the reason they had broken up no longer mattered with the situation they were in. Laura's perspective on things where so different now that she had not only witnessed her friends being murdered but also killed a man herself. She stops walking and holds her hand to her stomach, hoping it will keep the bile in her stomach rather than on the floor. Carmilla noticed that Laura's footsteps had stopped and she turns around to see her small human hunched over a bit, holding her stomach.

"Hey pumpkin, are you okay?" She begins walking back down the stairs and puts a hand on Laura's shoulder to feel her shaking. She quickly bends down a little bit, just enough to be able to see her face and finds a panicked face and glazed over eyes.

"Wow, hey Laura, you're okay." Laura looks at the honey gold eyes and feels the world stay still for a moment, that's when her words fell out of her mouth like word vomit.

"Will you be my moody vampire girlfriend again?"

What do you think she will say? Dun Dun DUUUUUUNNNNNN!
