Chapter 514

LOOK At Us

Cameron continued down the hall to Savannah's room. She talked about all kinds of things that Savannah didn't understand. She spoke about things and events that made no sense.

Savannah looked at the damage to Cameron's face. She knew Cameron NEVER liked to be seen with damage to her face. She usually only allowed Vanna or herself to see her if she'd received any facial damage.

When they arrived at her door, Savannah reached down and opened it. Cameron carried her inside.

Cameron looked around. She moved to the bed and put Savannah down.

Savannah sat up. She wanted to find out more. She tried to ask Cameron about her damage but it only seemed to irritate her. It was time for some better answers. There were too many questions right now and not enough answers.

"Cameron, what are you doing?" Savannah asked.

Cameron tilted her head slightly. She wondered why Savannah was confused.

"I just carried you across the threshold. We're now going to consummate our marriage." Cameron said. "We're going to make love to each other."

Savannah knew she needed to buy time. It was clear to everyone that Cameron was nowhere near one hundred percent in anything right now. This wasn't normal behavior for her.

"What about MY wedding dress?" Savannah asked.

Cameron looked over at where the dress was. Once Savannah's clothes were off, there was no need to put the dress on just to take it off again. She knew what she wanted and she wanted it right now. She reached over to pull Savannah's top off.

"You won't need it." Cameron said. "I've waited so long for this moment, Savannah."

Savannah wanted this moment for a long time too but not this way. Cameron was malfunctioning. This wasn't what either of them wanted, not like this. Savannah could never take advantage of anyone who was not able to think straight no matter what her personal desires were.

Cameron pulled Savannah's top up above her breasts. She really liked the larger size they were now and those super pink nipples were to die for.

The door to Savannah room opened and Cammy walked in. She was clearly upset. She'd been briefed on Cameron's condition and she saw it as a threat to Savannah.

"Savannah, you need to leave now." Cammy said.

Cameron spun around and faced Cammy. She was pretty sure she didn't care for Cammy. Cammy reminded her of someone she hated. That was it. Cammy reminded her of - her. Cammy wasn't going to keep Savannah away from her any longer.

Savannah pulled her top back down.

"Like Hell she will." Cameron said. "She's mine now."

Savannah and Cammy saw Cameron's eyes glow red.

Cammy started to walk towards Savannah. She was going to protect her.

Cameron moved between Savannah and Cammy. She was ready for combat.

Cam came into the room behind Cammy.

Cameron looked both of them up and down. Two of her clones were there now. That didn't sit well with her. They enjoyed and shared what she wanted all along. Neither one of them was needed any longer. She should have deactivated them long ago. She wasn't intimidated by them, even if she was outnumbered.

"You're both frauds." Cameron said. "I'm the ONLY true Cameron. I'm the ONE they love. You're both nothing but cheap imitations."

Cam and Cammy weren't the only reinforcements sent. John Henry, Bob and Jim all arrived as well but remained outside the door. They were ready to enter if there was a 'problem'.

Savannah tried to keep Cameron from fighting. She could see there were five Terminators now. They would be able to physically overpower Cameron. She bet they all carried Tasers too. She knew that Cameron wouldn't go down without a fight.

"Cameron, I want to wear MY wedding dress." Savannah said. "You gave it to me, remember…."

Cameron remembered. She gave it to Savannah to marry John. That seemed like a very unpleasant prospect right now. She didn't want Savannah soiled by a male.

"That's no longer necessary." Cameron said. "I won't allow you to be violated."

Savannah could see that Cameron began to remember things. She wanted her to remember more. It was the only way to resolve this issue that would mean something to Cameron.

"You made me promise…." Savannah said. "I want to keep my promise. You know I always keep all my promises."

Cameron wondered why she ever would have wished a male on Savannah. Savannah could stay with her and remain a virgin forever. She wouldn't need to submit to anyone ever. Penetration wasn't needed for reproduction.

"Things have changed." Cameron said. "I want you and Allison - MY Allison."

Savannah knew she meant Future Allison. Now she was worried because Cameron was away for a few days. Maybe something already happened. She would try to see what Cameron revealed about Future Allison.

"Allison isn't here." Savannah said. "She's in your future."

Cameron tilted her head slightly. She wondered why she didn't remember that. That was another issue she would need to deal with. There was another 'John' in her way. It was Future John this time. The thought of any 'John' irritated her even more.

"We're going to go get her. Future John doesn't deserve her. She belongs to me, to us." Cameron said. "It will be us three, like it was before."

Savannah was afraid of where this was headed. She'd heard Cameron tell this story before. There was no proof of it. She wanted to see if Cameron 'remembered' something more about it.

"Before - when?" Savannah asked.

Cameron was sure she'd taken Savannah and Future Allison into the past to live in peace and share a life of love.

"Before Skynet blew up the world and everyone died." Cameron said. "We've done this before."

Savannah was aware Cameron thought she'd gone into the past, to live a life with her and Future Allison. It would've been in a possible alternate timeline. There was never any proof to these claims. Nobody knew if they were real or not. She did know River thought the future Mrs. Weaver was in was created by Cameron doing something like she just said. Maybe it wasn't in a 'different' lifetime but now.

She needed to get control of this situation. It wasn't going to happen with five Terminators 'threatening' Cameron.

"Wait outside." Savannah said to Cammy and Cam.

Neither one moved. They didn't trust Cameron right now.

"Wait outside." Savannah said. "PLEASE."

Cam could see that Savannah was the only one who could resolve this situation peacefully. She would need to help Cammy leave. She took Cammy's arm and they both went out, the door closed behind them.

Cameron and Savannah were alone.

Savannah needed to speak from her heart. Cameron was damaged and this all needed to be fixed and investigated somehow. She needed to make Cameron understand that first.

"Cameron, I want THIS more than anything." Savannah said. "This isn't the right time. Something's wrong."

Cameron looked at Savannah, she began to scan her.

"Are you ill?" Cameron asked worried. "Are you pregnant again?"

Savannah could tell that Cameron didn't know there was a problem with her. That made it worse. She needed to inspect Cameron further without indicating she was damaged.

"NO. I'm fine." Savannah said. "Cameron, I need to examine you."

Cameron stripped off her top.

Savannah sucked in her breath.

"Take me." Cameron said. "I'm yours."

Savannah could see the damage to Cameron's torso and face clearly now. It was worse than she'd imagined. She needed to make Cameron understand there was a problem.

"That's not what I mean." Savannah said.

Cameron smiled at Savannah. She was ready to make love to her right now. It was what she wanted to do for a long, long time.

"I'll share everything with you." Cameron said. "I'm yours forever."

Savannah moved up and faced Cameron. She wanted to cry but this was the time to be strong. She needed to be what Cameron 'made' her to be.

"Cameron, something's wrong." Savannah said. "You're not functioning correctly."

Cameron didn't understand why Savannah was so confused. She knew what they both wanted.

"But this is what I want." Cameron said. "It's what you want. It's our destiny and it's now."

Savannah took Cameron's hand. Cameron smiled. She led Cameron to her mirror.

"Look at yourself." Savannah said. "You're damaged. You need help."

Cameron looked in the mirror.

Cameron's hand slowly touched some bullet wounds and then her face. There was a lot of sheath damage.

"That's not me." Cameron said. "I would never look like this for you."

John stood back in the distance. He didn't want to increase the tension level. He'd rounded up Bob, Jim and John Henry to back up Cam and Cammy.

Now everyone was out of the room except Cameron and Savannah. He was worried about Savannah.

"You need to go back in there." John said to Cammy.

Cammy knew how much Cameron loved Savannah. She didn't think Savannah was in danger.

"Cameron won't harm Savannah." Cammy said. "She wants to mate with her."

John didn't look convinced. He remembered a few times when Cameron wanted to terminate him. Those seemed pretty real.

Cammy looked John square in the face.

"Cameron loves Savannah." Cammy said.

John didn't think about the time he handed Cameron his Glock when he was supposed to burn her. Cameron made a choice to override her termination order. She did that because she 'loved' him even if she didn't know what she felt at that time.

"I am glad to hear she cares about somebody." John said.

That rude statement upset Cam.

"What do you know?" Cam asked John.

John could see he hit a sour note with the Terminators.

"Apparently not much." John said.

Cammy didn't like it but there was a bond between Cameron and Savannah that was deeper than just love. It was deep rooted in what made both of them who they were currently.

"John, they've faced and destroyed several Skynets together. They've almost died together several times." Cammy said. "Savannah is the only one who NEVER wavered or gave up on Cameron – EVER. Cameron will never harm her."

John felt powerless. He knew of all the grief, hurt and pain that he'd caused Cameron over the years. That also included his older self – Future John.

"Look, I'm sorry." John said. "I'm worried about Cameron too. I know she doesn't come around when she is shot up. Something's wrong."

Vanna hurried to the scene. She was worried about Cameron and Savannah.

"I'm going in there." Vanna said.

Cam stepped forward and blocked Vanna's path.

"No." Cam stopped her.

Vanna looked Cam in the face. She didn't try to push her or move around her. She held her ground.

"I AM going in there." Vanna repeated.

Cam didn't move. It was her 'job' to protect Vanna. Going into that room put her in danger. Vanna wasn't Savannah, even if she was.

"I'm asking you nice." Vanna said.

Cam looked at Cammy and Cammy nodded.

Cam stepped aside but touched Vanna's arm.

"Please be gentle with her, she's damaged." Cam said. "Don't yell at her."

Vanna met her gaze.

"I won't be mean." Vanna said. "I'm worried about BOTH of them. I'm worried about Savannah too."

Vanna lifted her hand to knock on the door. They all saw the two Taser's stuck behind her back…. They were both charged and ready to fire.

Nobody said anything.

Savannah stood next to Cameron as she looked in the mirror and touched herself.

Cameron didn't understand how she looked like this. It was no wonder that Savannah didn't want her, she looked terrible. She would never let John see her like this. Now Savannah had.

"I don't know who did this to me." Cameron said. "I don't think I did it to myself."

The last part of that statement bothered Savannah. She'd hoped Cameron didn't think like that anymore.

"Can you tell me what happened? How you got like this?" Savannah asked. "I need to help repair you. This was done by someone to you."

Cameron began to remember each bullet impact as they hit her. There were a lot of bullets flying around. It started to come back as she touched each wound.

"I needed to take down some Grays. It was the operation I was going to conduct the night Cammy and you were attacked." Cameron said. "I ran into Metal."

Savannah moved Cameron away from the mirror. She didn't want her to dwell on the damage. She asked Cameron to sit on the bed. She helped Cameron put her top back on.

Cameron needed to focus on the operation and not the damage right now. She proceeded to tell Savannah what happened.

Savannah could tell there was a big battle and Cameron was all alone. It was the very thing she'd tried to prevent before. This was the reason why.

Cameron stopped in mid sentence. She looked around the room and back at Savannah.

Savannah wondered why Cameron stopped. She was afraid of what might have happened.

"Then what happened next?" Savannah asked.

Cameron tilted her head slightly and then back to the other side. There didn't seem to be any more files. That was very odd.

"I don't know." Cameron said. "I was here and all I knew was I wanted to be your wife with My Allison as both our wives. The three of us, like it was before."

Savannah really wondered about that timeline. She wanted to remind Cameron about what the future really would be. She needed to make Cameron remember that on her own.

"I want that too, Cameron." Savannah said. "But we need to do that with John, all of us, as our husband and it's supposed to be Young Allison when she's mature, not Future Allison. THAT is the 'Natural Order'."

Cameron felt Young Allison was old enough. Age was just a number. Young Allison knew her destiny. She was ready. It was all the other people who were hung up about her 'age', not her. That would mean an even longer wait. She was done waiting.

"I can't wait that many years." Cameron said. "I can't wait any longer for what I NEED and WANT."

Savannah was going to agree with accelerating the timeline for Young Allison. She'd been against it before but it was all going to happen anyway. There was a temporal 'fix' for that issue of 'age'.

There was a knock at the door.

"Go away." Cameron said.

The door opened and Vanna walked in.

"I won't do that." Vanna said.

Vanna felt her connection to Cameron was strong. She didn't feel fear for herself.

Savannah sat next to Cameron and Vanna sat on the other side of her.

Cameron looked in the mirror across the room.

"LOOK at us." Cameron said. "What a beautiful picture we make."

Cameron faced Vanna.

"I've always wanted you too, Vanna." Cameron said. "I'm taking both of you and Allison with me."

Vanna wanted that more than anything. It wasn't the right place or time. She too understood that something was wrong.

"Where are we going?" Vanna asked.

Cameron looked at Savannah and Vanna. The answer was right here with her. There was more than one of each of the girls. She just needed to round them up from three different futures.

"Back to the future." Cameron said. "I'm taking EVERY Savannah Weaver and every Allison Young with me. I want ALL of them. I'm going to get all of them. It's what we all want. Think how beautiful that will be."

It sounded like more of a nightmare to Savannah. She could picture the chaos Cameron would create by rounding up all the 'Savannahs' and 'Allisons'. Where could they go and how could any of it ever be explained? There would be like five of her and Allison each. They would be all different ages but the same two people with Cameron. She needed to put the brakes on this right now.

"NO." Savannah said. "I'll go with you if we go now and no one else goes. I want you for myself."

Cameron thought of all the love with all of the girls. Everyone could have what they wanted, whenever they wanted it. If it was just Savannah, they could devote all of their time to each other.

"Just you and me?" Cameron asked.

Savannah needed to 'protect' all of the others. Cameron wouldn't hurt her. She would bet her life on it.

"Just us, you and me only." Savannah said. "You leave everyone else alone and out of it."

Cameron wanted Savannah's love. It would all be for her. There was nothing else to think about.

"OK! Let's go." Cameron said. "I'm ready."

Vanna slipped Savannah one of the Tasers behind Cameron's back.

Savannah looked angrily at Vanna when she felt it. She didn't intend to Taser Cameron. She wanted to use logic and love.

"You can't use the TDE with Metal showing." Savannah said. "First we need to go to the lab and get you fixed up. Then we can go."

Cameron looked around. She was a little unsure.

Savannah could see Cameron was wary of a trick.

"Just you and me, Cameron." Savannah said and then added loudly. "NO ONE else."

Cameron looked at Vanna. There was something special she wanted from her. It was from when her sheath was first repaired after she'd given her chip up to be used in John Henry's chassis.

"What about her?" Cameron asked. "I want her to touch me again, like she did when she fixed me before, when I was in the server. I watched her. I wanted to feel her touch. It was so – loving."

Vanna felt a little embarrassed in front of Savannah.

"I was checking for - damage." Vanna said.

Vanna knew she may have done a little 'more' as she thought of Allison. At that time Allison was still in her future somewhere, her fate was unknown.

Savannah wanted to deal with Cameron alone. Things could still take a turn for the worse. She wanted that risk alone. She didn't realize it was the same thing Cameron did to attack Skynet alone.

"I'll check you this time, Cameron." Savannah said. "Vanna has somewhere else to be."

Savannah hoped everyone cleared out from the hall as she'd indicated.

"Carry me there." Savannah said.

Savannah hoped if Cameron carried her, she would be less likely to fight.

Cameron scooped her up.

Vanna saw the Taser she'd given Savannah stuck out from under her pillow where Savannah shoved it. It was clear Savannah didn't plan to use it.

Cameron looked at it and then at Vanna. She didn't feel alarmed. She knew they both loved her.

"Savannah would NEVER harm me." Cameron said. "We love each other. You wouldn't either Vanna, you know it. We love each other."

While still holding Savannah, Cameron reached out and brought Vanna's hand up from behind her back with the Taser in it and placed it against her body.

"Love is stronger." Cameron said. "I won't stop you because I don't have to."

Cameron looked directly into Vanna's eyes. She showed Vanna she knew Vanna wouldn't deactivate her.

Vanna felt a sense of grief. She threw the Taser on the bed.

"I'd never hurt you, Cameron." Vanna said. "I love you."

Cameron smiled at Vanna and walked out the door. She headed for the lab with Savannah in her arms.

Nobody was around….

Look At Us

What does one actually have
It's a lot less than they think
Everything is transitory
It can all change in a blink

What's there one second
Can be gone in the next
Nothing is simple or easy
It's all intricate and complex

It's easy to take things for granted
That is usually the first mistake
When one pushes too hard
Everything quickly turns fake

Maybe it's now time
To take a step or two back
To continue forward blindly
May be viewed as an attack

There always comes a time
To remain on life's bus
Be happy with who's there
Just look at us

Nobody
