Laura's POV

After Kirsh settled down, he dismissed everyone from his dorm so that he could get peace. I wanted to at least stay with him until I was sure he was fine, but then I remembered Carmilla. She was a real handful when it came down to it, other times, she's an actual person. I just wish I could figure her out. What's the fun in that though? Everyone needs mystery in their life, it's more exciting that way. I hope she's in the dorm when I get there. It's really frustrating not knowing where she is, but we aren't together, so I should stop worrying...

I arrived at the dorm ten minutes after leaving Kirsh's. Something didn't feel right about this place, but I walked in anyway. Carmilla was sitting on her bed with Elsie! What? She quickly gave me a glance, then turned back to her and they just acted like I never walked in. I quickly ran over to my computer, just to see if I had any messages. None. Then I checked my phone, and there were tons of messages from Carmilla.

Karnstein: I just ran into mother. You are in serious trouble! You need to leave Silas now! Don't worry about me, I'm going after her. She wants your powers, is there something you didn't mention to me about your powers? Creampuff, please tell me there's nothing else...

Karnstein: Hey. Call me.

Karnstein: Laura, what the fuck?

Karnstein: Do you never answer the fucking phone?

Karnstein: Whatever. I'm going to talk to Elsie now, bye.

Karnstein: Okay that was rude of me. What are you doing tonight?

Karnstein: You know what? I am going to talk with Elsie. She knows when to respond.

That was the last message, and it was sent thirty minutes ago. Why is she being mean to me? I had to help Kirsh, she was there, she should've understood why I couldn't respond. Whatever. I'm so glad we didn't kiss, that would be really bad for us right now. A second later Carmilla pushed Elsie off her, and snarled, "Whatever Creampuff! Think what you want!" Huh? Oh so now she does to read my mind? So not cool! Elsie is confused, I'm guessing it's because Carmilla didn't tell her she can read minds. Poor Elsie. Carmilla rolled her eyes and walked Elsie to the door. "I don't want to see your ass again. Got it? I was being stupid."

"Oh my god, you really do like her, don't you? If you didn't you wouldn't be making me leave. See ya." That was interesting... Carmilla doesn't actually like me, does she? "This vampire can still read minds. You got the text messages, so you know I'm a complete ass for not understanding you're a good friend to Kirsh. I'm so sorry Laura. Understand that? I get mad really easily when you don't reply right away."

"Now you know how I feel. I'm sorry too. It's just, I didn't think either, can we just forget about this?"

"Actually, we need to clear the air. I like you a lot, and I'm not sure you even noticed."

"I'm oblivious to lots of things, but I've seen your quick glances towards me. I like you too."

"I'm sure you do, Cupcake. Everybody does."

"Carm, I don't have time for this... why don't you just-" she interrupted my statement by kissing me very patiently. A million thoughts raced through my brain at that moment, but what really hit me, was the sparks between us. I've never felt so alive in my life until that moment.

Carmilla's POV

Did I really just do that? I don't even really know what came over me. I just wanted to kiss her, well maybe to stop her from saying something she'd regret. I'm just glad that I did. Sparks went throughout my whole body, something Ell and I never had. Hopefully this doesn't come to Mother. Wait. No, I can't hurt Laura.

"We need to stop before things get rough. Sorry Laura, but if Mother finds out-"

She initiated the kiss this time and it was better than the first, if that was even possible. I kissed back with more force, but I quickly slowed. Laura took a breath for a moment, and I just looked into her eyes. "Hey."

"Hey." That one word opened up how we actually felt about each other. I'm glad that she finally knows how I feel. I don't know how I could hide it anymore after everything. We really need to stop this before she gets hurt.

Laura, I'm serious right now. Mother will kill you if she finds out we're together. I need you to still hate me."

"Who says we're together? Nobody even knows we like each other, well maybe a couple people, but they wouldn't tell her."

"Fair enough. I'm not missing you though, if something happened..."

"Nothing is going to happen to me. I promise."
