Chapter 15
Carmilla sat in silence with her hands balled up in her hair for a good thirty minutes before she finally stood up and transformed into a giant black cat. The cat closed its eyes and put her nose to the ground and inhaled once, twice, and on the third time the yellow eyes shot open.
'I've got you.' she then takes off faster than any human eye could follow. She weaves in and out of the book shelves, gusting by them. All of a sudden she smells soothing that she thought she would never smell again. A scent that made tears sting in her eyes. She stopped in her tracks when she saw a black figure emerge from one of the upcoming hall ways.
"I was wondering if you would ever come looking for me." Carmilla shifts back into her human form with tears rolling down her face.
"M-Maddie is it really you or have I gone crazy?" the dark skinned woman pulls the raven hair woman into her arms.
"Yes kitten it's me, now hush. You know vampires don't cry." Carmilla sniffles a little and stands up straight. She looks Maddie over as if she still doesn't believe she is really there.
"I thought Xena killed you? How are you still alive?" Maddie crosses her arms and leans against the wall behind her.
"Sweetie I was dead, I have no idea how I am still alive after that bitch crushed my heart. All I know is that one second I was dying in your arms and the next I was waking up in this place." Her ageless face then turned down into a frown.
"Speaking of which, where is that Amazonian bitch, I would like to show her how it feels to die." Carmilla's face is now the one to fall. Her sister looks at her confused.
"What don't tell me you have grown feelings for the human?" Maddie snarls out between her teeth. Carmilla shakes her head.
"There is no need to show the girl what it is like to die. She is already dead. One of the Zada guys stabbed her in the back." The older vampire seemed to be shocked by the news.
"So the humans turned on each other. Isn't that… well, predictable." Maddie chuckles to herself and stands up straight.
"So I was wondering little sister. How did the annoying little brat know how to kill me?" Carmilla gasps, knowing that she has been caught. Tears flow from her eyes again.
"Yes I told her… I never thought she would betray me like that… I told her because I feared for her safety. I didn't think she would tell the tall ginger about it. She broke my trust Maddie but I believe in her again and I need your help getting her back." Carmilla was taken aback by the loud laugh that emitted from her adopted sister's mouth.
"You have got to be kidding me. That girl helps kill me and you think that after a few kind words and a lousy fuck that she is trust worthy again? You really are insane. I thought you would have learned to stop playing around with your food after it killed half of your family." Carmilla's eyes stung with tears and her heart felt like it was trying to claw out of her chest. She knew that she had pissed Maddie off and that was the last thing she wanted to do to her back from the dead again sister.
"It was more than that, she was truly sorry for everything she had done. She killed Vordenberg for me. Maddie she killed someone for me." The dark skinned woman crosses her arms in front of her chest and waves the comment off like an annoying bug.
"Dear we kill people all the time." Carmilla cuts her off and takes ahold of her shoulders, shaking her slightly.
"No Maddie, Laura doesn't kill, not even flies. Her heart is so pure that even after she killed him for me she felt bad because she had no idea how to handle life anymore. She was so confused about how killing someone was a good thing. She was stuck in a depression for days. Once she finally cheered up she apologized for everything she did." Maddie stands there shocked at the passion Carmilla is showing while talking about the small human girl. Her face softens and she pulls her younger sister into her arms for a hug.
"Okay kitten, I will help you find your toy." Carmilla smiles into her sister chest and the quickly separate before one or the other withers away because of too much kindness in this moment.
"Alright, when was the last time you saw your brat?"
"When Betty's body possessed by Ell was controlling her other ginger friend to take her away." The older woman rolls her eyes at the younger one and pats her on the shoulder.
"You are more of a ladies girl than I might have first thought. Well come on, let's go kill your ex." Carmilla turns into her black cat and Maddie turns into a mountain lion. The mountain lion huffs at the black cat and both of them take off, leaving nothing but dust behind them. They run around the underground library for about ten minutes until Carmilla finally picks back up on Laura's scent, but it wasn't just her scent. It was the smell of her blood. Apparently Maddie had caught a whiff of it too because she whined. They both know that she is hurt and pick up speed the instant they turn onto a long hall way with a door at the end of it. Carmilla is the first to bust through the door followed closely by her sister. They are both greeted with the sight of Laura crumpled up on the ground and the short ginger standing in front of her with their hands balled up into fists.
The mountain lion opens her mouth and an ear splitting scream emits from her. Everyone in the room stopped as the lioness released her powerful voice into the air. After she is done she changes back into her human form and stands tall, as if to intimidate.
"Where is the idiot who thought it would be smart to not only take away my little sisters toy but to damage her in the process?" the fierce looking woman crosses her arms and looks around the room, waiting for someone to speak up. LaF backs away from Laura's limp body and Carmilla tries to take a step towards her.
"I wouldn't touch her if I were you. It might hurt just a little considering she is covered in my magic now." Ell steps out of a dark corner, flipping her blond hair and walking as it there wasn't a half dead human laying on the floor next to her. The succubus strides over to Laura and picks the girl up by her hair. Carmilla growls at her and then whimpers when she sees that Laura's body is limp. She doesn't even open her eyes to her hair being pulled.
"She is fine I just put her under a little sleeping spell after her friend her kicked the shit out of her. I think I heard a few cracks. What do you think bio-major?" LaF perks up at being spoken to and they respond almost robotically.
"I counted three ribs breaking and a fractured femur. Other than that there is nothing but minor bruising." Hearing the red head say that she broke Laura in such an uncaring way hurt the raven haired vampire. She knew that the non-binary was under Ell's spell but it still made her want to rip their head off. The panther crouched down and got into a ready stance.
"I believe my little sister has a few plans for you human." She addresses Ell, making the girl's face turn an angry red.
"Hold your tongue wench. You know nothing of me. You don't even know what I am. I am clearly not a human anymore. I am a succubus now and I am back from the dead to take revenge on the wretch who caused my early demise." She takes ahold of her pendent and squeezes hard making Carmilla collapse and wail in pain. Maddie hurries to her side and hold her large panther form in her arms.
"What is going on? How are you doing this witch?" Ell laughs and holds up the necklace.
"I have her heard you idiot." The older vampires jaw drops. She looks down at Carmilla and the black cat looks away in embarrassment.
"Are you telling me that you gave her your heart?" The black cat huffs at the other vampire.
"Well I guess we will have to do this the hard way than." Before anyone could even blink Maddie was in front of Ell with her hand wrapped around her pale throat.
"Don't you ever think you can get one up on me you cunt because I am so much more than you can handle." Her eyes glow a florescent yellow and she easily throws the girl across the room. Ell hits the wall, causing a crack to split through it from floor to ceiling. She stands slowly, her knees shaking.
"How you treat me like a piece of trash? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" Once again Maddie was in front of her. This time she not only had a hold of her neck but she was now pinning her against the wall as well.
"Do you really think that you can beat me? Do you understand that I have been an immortal for far more years than you have? I have killed so many people that I would finish counting until 2020, and those are just the humans I have killed. I have ripped the eyes out of harpies. I have torn out the intestines of demons. You need to watch yourself before you end up pained all over these old walls." Maddie drops the girl and she falls to the ground coughing. The dark skinned woman quickly reaches down and yanks the pendent off of Ell's neck.
"This is no longer yours." She then proceeds to walk over to Laura's body on the floor and picks the girl up. She carries her past the now still LaF and puts her down in front of Carmilla.
"I know I have not been the easiest sister to get along with but thank you for still loving me. All the way till the end." She kisses Carmilla's furry black fore head. She turns around and is met with a knife in her right side. She hits the ground hard and coughs hard. Carmilla changed back into her human form.
"Ell what the fuck do you think you are doing? She was completely off guard." The blond laughs at the worried vampire.
"Don't ever take your eye off your prey." She then reaches for the pendant. Before she can get her hands on it, Laura's pale hand grabs onto Maddie's, enclosing her hand atop the injured woman's.
"Like she said," Laura crawls to cover Maddie with her body, "That is no longer yours." Ell's face turns up in a knot and she screamed at the two girls on the floor. A black cloud swallows her up then moves next to LaF. She appears again from the cloud and grabs the ginger by the back of the neck. They wince a little but mostly keep a straight face.
"Give me the girl back or I will kill this one." Carmilla looks down at Laura.
"What do you want her for?" She looks back at Ell confused. Laura feels a sudden illness in her. Out of nowhere everything in her stomach evacuates. Ell smiles at seeing this.
"I want her because she carries what I need in my life to get back at the woman who fucked me out of my own life." Both Laura and Carmilla look confused.
"What are you talking about? What could Laura have that you need to get back at me?" The black cloud then moved to Laura, hovering over her stomach. The black mass behind Ell illuminated and showed a picture. It was an embryo the being still only had a tail, curled up into its body.
"I want your child Carmilla. I want to raise her as my own and teach her to hate you. I wanted it to be our child but you rejected me and I know that there was no way I would be able to get you to agree to sleeping with me. However I did plant into you head that the next time you slept with someone that you needed to use the fertility devise I had made." Carmilla's eyes got wider.
"What the fuck are you saying? How would that baby be this big? I had that made!" the blond haired girl shook her head.
"Magic, duh, and no you didn't. I just made you thing that you had. I knew that as long as the little brat was around that you would have no interest in me. So instead I planted in your head that you had that made and that you needed to use it on her. I needed you to impregnate her so that I could kidnap her and move the baby from her body to mine." Carmilla growled low.
"You tricked me. You made me impregnate Laura so you could steal the baby."
"Duh, that's what I just said."
"So you think you are just going to take my baby from me now?" Ell snapped her fingers and LaF got into a fighting position.
"Yes actually I do." She smiled evilly and snapped her fingers again, making Lafontaine run towards the group on the other side of the room. They scream out a battle cry and charge Carmilla. The raven haired vampire roars at them and as soon as LaF was close enough Carmilla flips them over on their back. She then chops them in the junction of their neck and shoulder making them go limp. LaF lays flat on the floor and Laura checks their pulse, making sure that they are still alive. She then checks on Maddie.
"Are you okay?" She whispers to her. The wounded vampire nods her head.
"Yeah, I've been through worse." She gasps for air.
"I think she nicked my lung, it's getting harder to breath." Laura panics, looking for the wound. As she finds it she braces herself to get hit as she applies a little pressure to it, trying to keep her from bleeding out. Maddie hisses but stays still knowing if she thrashes around too much that she will die.
"Is there anything I can do?" Laura looks at the now pale face of her lover's sister.
"No unless you have some kind of blood bag on you no. I need blood to accelerate my healing process." Laura moves her arm to Maddie's mouth, but she shakes her head now, pushing the arm away.
"I am not going to harm my little niece of nephew." Out of nowhere another arm shows up. The arm is connected to Lafontaine.
"Take mine please. I need to make up for the terrible trouble I have caused." The vampire takes no time to think about it before sinking her teeth deep into their wrist. They hiss in pain but don't have enough energy to pull back.
"You think you can brainwash me, kidnap my lover, stab my sister, then try and steal my baby? All that time being dead must have left you stupid." Carmilla crouches down then lunges at Ell. She claws extend and rip through the air. Ell backs up into her cloud then reappears behind Carmilla with a dagger. She swings her dagger and misses as Carmilla rolls out of the way. The vampire quickly grabs her ex's arm and twists it, forcing her to drop the dagger. She then moves behind the succubus and puts her arm behind her back, pinning her into an arm bar.
"You stupid bitch! You have ruined my life twice now and you won't even say you're sorry? What kind of animal are you?" Carmilla frowns and loosens her grip momentarily in distraction. Ell takes advantage and throws her head back, hitting the vampire in the nose. However before she can even get away her stomach is pierced with a dagger. Laura is at the other end of the dagger, pushing it into Ell.
"I am sorry," a tear roles down her face, "but I can't let you take away my baby or my soul mate." She pulls the dagger out and stabs her again but this time in the chest. Ell lets out one last breath and a ball of light leaves her body. A flash emits from Betty's body and it throws the girls back away from her, the dagger flying and hitting the wall behind Laura. Once the light dies down Betty stands there with her arms folded.
"Oh my god, this happened again? What the hell is going on? This is the second time I have blacked out then ended up in a random place. I have no idea how I even got here." She turns around and storms off. Everyone is confused at that little explosion but laugh a little once she has left the room. Carmilla goes over to Laura and hold her hand out to her. She helps her to her feet and without even thinking pulls her into a hug.
"I am so glad you are safe. I am so sorry that you have gone through this Laura." She puts her hands on Laura's stomach.
"I promise that I will protect you and this baby for the rest of my undead life."
"Well I'm so glad you are worried about me." LaF shifts uneasily as Maddie releases her wrist and licks it clean. Carmilla laughs as she sees the red heads face match in color.
"You know I care about you sister but I also know you can take care of yourself." Maddie shrugged her shoulders.
"Well maybe with a little help from a tasty ginger." LaF blushes harder. Laura takes ahold of Carmilla's hand and intertwines their fingers.
"So what do we do now?" Carmilla smiles at her small human.
"Now we live our life love. We live our life with our child." Laura smiles back at her and jumps into her arms. She smashes her lips into the vampires and they battle for control of the kiss.
"Okay guys I have seen enough. I think I would have rather died." Laura laughs and Carmilla blushes. Then a light catches Laura's attention.
"Guys look, it's an opening. I think that's the way out."
