Chapter 637

Torment And Conflict

Previously:

Savannah knew what Cameron 'said' to her. She did try to do it. She needed to deal with her feelings and emotions as well. There were things which almost happened with John and Cameron, separately. They were natural and organic moments which expanded, but never went 'all the way'. She literally was one second away from being 'popped', even if there was no longer anything left there to 'pop'. It was more of an expression to the initial act. John was so close. She wanted it so much. She wanted it to be love. She at least wanted to try it once.

She knew if she didn't do what Cameron thought she wanted done, Cameron would bypass her as well. It was what she did with the alternate future versions of the girls. She knew Future Savannah and Future Allison would do what Cameron wanted because they were already doing it. Then again, Cameron 'trapped' them in the future with children of their 'own'. She wondered about it. She was sure it was one of the reasons Cameron wanted Future Allison and Future Savannah to have children of their 'own'. They were children which really were their own children.

Savannah was sure Future John programmed these things into Cameron. The need to make sure John was 'protected' and surrounded by human females was his handiwork. In doing all of it, Cameron was tearing herself apart inside. Her own feelings weren't allowed to expand and grow as Cameron did. Her programming restricted her to an existence of internal torment and conflict. It appeared to be the root of her frustration and her problems.

It seemed with each day the internal torment and conflict grew in Cameron. She wished so hard she could take the pain and anguish away from Cameron. She tried her best to do it and help Cameron. She also tried hard not to 'hurt' Cameron either.

Moments ago:

Several vehicles with Terminators in them pulled up alongside the safe house. It caused some alarm at first. They all prepared for combat. The girls all were armed and mostly naked. The only covering they currently wore was a bath towel. All of their clothes were ruined and in the trash. Cameron assured them it was their transportation and fresh clothing. Most of them retrieved their fallen towels.

Sheila went to open the door. She didn't bother with a towel. She didn't think it was necessary. Nudity didn't bother Terminators. It seemed to be something she preferred. She also liked to show off.

Cammy didn't think it was a good idea on Sheila's part.

"You're naked, Sheila." Cammy said. "I'll do it."

Sheila was offended. She thought there was a lot to show. She wanted to be the one to show it. She liked all the attention she drew when others looked at her, especially her jewelry.

"So?" Sheila said. "It isn't a big deal. Everyone should see how HOT I look. I like them to see me. I want them to see me. I might even walk down the street without clothes after we get everything straightened out."

Sheila figured if she passed by any males, it wouldn't be the only thing which was straightened out.

Ally was sweet on Sheila. She knew what Sheila was after.

"You just want Savannah to see." Ally said.

Sheila noticed the way Savannah looked her over earlier. She could be 'Jesse' or even 'Young Jesse' for her. She wanted to put Ally in her place. Ally shared the same DNA as Cammy, Savannah's cyborg lover.

"She doesn't have to guess at what YOU look like." Sheila said. "I'm unique among Terminators. You're one of many."

Now Ally was offended. She shared the same DNA from Allison as Cam, Cammy, and Cameron. Maybe she wasn't as Tight as they were all of the time, but she could be. She did the 'Neural Interface' with Allison. Allison chose to remain as plain as possible. Even so, her natural beauty was evident to anyone who looked at her. She chose to do things the same way Allison did.

"You mean I'm the Hottest thing around." Ally said. "Even you know it."

Cameron didn't want to get drug into a personal conversation. She was aware of the banter between Ally and Sheila. She knew it was because they were in love with each other, but didn't want to admit it in front of others. Sometimes the banter grew quite nasty. She knew they spent a lot of time together to 'make up' for it. They conducted most of her 'off the books' operations. They handled all the things she wanted to be taken care of, in any way she wanted them taken care of. She appreciated everything they did for her, but she didn't want things to get out of control in the current setting. There was no need for it. She didn't want things to get carried away in front of Savannah. It was time to put her foot down.

"Enough…." Cameron said forcefully.

Cameron answered the door herself. They were Terminators from her base. She would rather deal with them directly than have any others do it. She returned with a stack of clothes and two sets of keys.

She looked at Sheila. She wanted to make a point. She believed a female could look even prettier if she wore the right clothing. She believed it was more enticing to show just enough, but not everything. It always left anyone who looked, wanting to see a little more.

"Now everyone can look Hot, and be seen in public." Cameron said.

Ally looked at Sheila.

"She means without getting arrested." Ally said.

Sheila held up her fist.

"Arrest this." Sheila said.

Ally cringed a little. She remembered a past experience. It was very uncomfortable, in both places. She wanted to give Sheila a reminder about it.

"Are you going to hit me with it this time?" Ally asked. "It would hurt less."

Sheila laughed. She still remembered the look on Ally's face and her reaction to her fist 'elsewhere'.

"You liked what I did with it before." Sheila said.

Ally was upset. She needed to turn her pain receptors off with what Sheila did. She thought it was rather unnatural in every respect. There was no pleasure involved at all. She was sure her pain and discomfort excited Sheila to no end.

"It took a day for everything to return to normal." Ally said.

Sheila scoffed at her and held both of her fists up together.

"The next time it will be both of them simultaneously." Sheila said. "You can change your name to Lucy."

Ally looked very uncomfortable.

"Do it to yourself." Ally said. "You're not going to wreck me."

Savannah could picture it. She wasn't sure which orifice Ally referred to. It seemed like a couple. She hoped not to find out herself. She could think of a few worse things. There was an incredible amount of pain involved.

"Try having a baby, or two." Savannah said. "I can guarantee it's a real eye opener."

Cam and Cammy both glanced at each other. They often switched partners between Vanna and Savannah. They both were with Savannah before childbirth. Prior to the event, Vanna and Savannah were identical 'everywhere'. It was no longer the case. Savannah was different now. It may have been because she was younger the first time she gave birth. It was even more noticeable after the second baby. It was doubtful it was ever going to be the same again. Nobody said anything about it. It was something probably only a Terminator could detect anyway. There was no real detectable difference between Jesse and Young Jesse after her baby.

Cameron quickly glanced at Savannah. She knew everyone 'blamed' her for those pregnancies. Savannah did it on her own. She didn't even know about the first one until they were on the battlefield 'in some future'. She only found out by chance when she used her chassis to shield Savannah from bullets. She double checked all of her findings twice before she said anything. The future was the last place she wanted Savannah to be pregnant at.

She wanted the Metal girls to show a little respect, especially around Savannah. She wanted everyone to be comfortable and even have a little fun. She just didn't want them to be rude or vulgar about it.

"Enough…." Cameron said. "We'll all look nice."

Cameron didn't say Tight as there were no supplies to make it happen. She knew their natural beauty was more than enough anyway.

There was a 'package' of clothes for all of them. They were outfits Cameron picked for each of them. It was the way she liked to see them look. It was the way each of the Metal girls normally dressed, and Savannah too.

Sheila would have liked a 'schoolgirl outfit'. She liked the 'Babydoll' look from 'Sucker Punch'. It always seemed to draw a lot of attention, especially with blonde hair. She wouldn't mind carrying the sword either. It was just a little awkward in public. She could do a lot of damage with her knife. She figured it would be extreme with a sword.

The girls all dressed.

Cameron again saw all the colorful and multiple minor damage to Savannah's body as she dressed. She knew it was all her fault. She could see how beautiful Savannah truly was, even with the damage.

Cammy watched Cameron check out at Savannah. She wanted to make a point with Cameron, since Cameron could now see some of the damage Savannah endured over and over. It upset her to no end and caused her to glitch a lot. The three large bruises which were almost gone now, were the most upsetting. It was where Savannah was shot in her body armor. She moved closer to Cameron.

"Do you really wonder why I almost deactivated you?" Cammy whispered in Cameron's ear. "I have to see what you've done to her daily. You know she was almost terminated several times because of YOU."

Cameron faced her. She was angry. She suppressed a glitch impulse. She wasn't angry at Cammy. She was angry at herself.

"No, I don't wonder. You should have deactivated me. I allowed you to do so." Cameron said. "I'm killing her. I would rather be terminated than her. You know it too."

Cammy was aware the abuse was more than skin deep.

"Her health and nutrition are as poor." Cammy said. "You ARE killing her, both inside and out. She will keep going until she drops."

Cammy didn't bring up the 'changes' elsewhere. Every Metal girl who was with Vanna and Savannah knew it.

Cameron never heard Savannah say a word about anything.

"She never complains to me or even says anything." Cameron said. "She's always there when I need her. I need her a lot it seems. She helps me function. She helps me make the right choices."

Cammy saw it for what it was. Savannah's love wrote checks her body wouldn't be able to continue to cash at some point soon. They would get her killed.

"Do you now understand the depth of her love for you?" Cammy asked. "She will trade her life for yours and never even blink. THAT is true love. There's no physical aspect to it either. It is all in her heart, which is really all in her mind. It's something to be treasured by anyone. I may physically be with her, but it is YOU who she sees and loves most of the time. It's not me, even if it is me."

Cameron didn't think she deserved 'love to die for'.

"I'm ashamed of it. I've seen it with my own eyes." Cameron said. "I'm not worthy or deserving of such love and caring. I'm Nobody."

Cammy didn't think Cameron was worthy or deserving of Savannah's love either. She did know Cameron desired to be with a female and she wanted the female to be Savannah. It was her strongest desire upon being cloned and activated. She was able to act on the desire. It was why Cameron created her. It was to do what Cameron didn't have the backbone to do on her own. She was too conflicted about her duty to John.

Savannah was with Young Jesse only a short time before. They started out with a simple kiss. Cameron reset all her programming and firewalled all of her files with John. All of her sexual programming was blocked until he was with Savannah a few times. It was done so she could learn what Savannah liked, and how to get her there.

She remembered what it was like the first time as Savannah started to work her way down on her sheath. The sensation level increased as Savannah paused and 'worked' on each area. It was a level of sensation she was unaware of since Cameron temporarily blocked her files. It was very rewarding to her.

Savannah continued on down. She passed by along her outer thighs all the way down to her toes. Savannah then stared up on the inside of her legs. The anticipation level built the higher up she went. Soon she was where she wanted to be.

"It's beautiful." Savannah whispered. "You're beautiful, Cameron - Cammy."

Cammy felt a surge of pleasure. She squirmed around a little. She didn't realize she took a handful of the sheet in each hand.

Suddenly there was an 'electric' impulse which shot up from her private area. Her back arched and her head moved from side to side. The 'electrical' feeling was of immense pleasure. It went on for some time as it continued to grow in strength. There was an 'explosion' sensation. She thought she overloaded and malfunctioned. It was feeling like no other and it was all pleasure.

She thought Savannah would stop, but she didn't. She seemed to intensify her efforts and the 'electricity' and 'explosions' continued several more times. She lost track of time. She remembered Savannah's beautiful face in front of hers. Savannah smiled at her and then kissed her slow and deep.

Savannah rolled over on her back. She moved over the top of her. They kissed deeply.

"My turn…." Cammy whispered.

She did everything the same way to Savannah. She was pleased to feel Savannah appeared to enjoy everything even more than she did. Soon she arrived where she wanted to be. Savannah made sure she was ready. She thought she should have done it earlier for Savannah. She thought there was a lot going on down there. It seemed as if there were things which were unnecessary. It didn't seem to bother Savannah at all. It was something she looked forward to now on Savannah.

She then saw the most astounding thing about Savannah. It made her think of a butterfly, a pink one.

"You're beautiful, Savannah." Cammy whispered.

She did everything the same way Savannah did to her. It pleased her greatly to feel Savannah derive even more pleasure than she did. She scanned Savannah the entire time on different parts of her body. It was a very rewarding experience for both of them. Savannah's breathing stopped for a moment.

"Oh, Cameron…." Savannah gasped.

It was only in those moments she allowed Savannah to refer to her as 'Cameron'.

Cammy wanted Savannah to have what she truly wanted. It was Cameron. She looked at Cameron. There was a way for the event to happen. As much as she despised Cameron at times, she couldn't escape the fact she was 'Cameron' too. She may be a clone, but she did have her own identity, well, most of the time. She wanted Cameron to know how special Savannah really was.

"I have two chip ports…." Cammy said. "Whenever you think you're 'ready'. My chassis is 'your chassis' for Savannah. It's what I want to happen for both of you. It will still be you, even if it isn't you."

Cammy again made the 'offer' for Cameron to use her chassis to be with Savannah. She wanted Savannah to have what she really wanted. Savannah's needs and desires came before her own personal ones. The true test of love was sacrifice.

Cameron looked away from Cammy and at Savannah for a second before she looked back. She wanted what Cammy offered. She knew Savannah could always tell the difference between Cam and Cammy when they tried to fool her. They never could.

"Savannah will know." Cameron said.

Cammy thought it was the whole point.

"Isn't it what you both want?" Cammy asked. "Nobody will know. It will just be the three of us who do."

Cameron stole another glance at Savannah. She couldn't help but moisten her lips lightly. There was no need to rush things, or was there?

"It is what I want." Cameron said. "It will be. It's the 'Natural Order'."

Savannah glanced over at Cammy and Cameron as she dressed. She was sure they discussed her. She was ready for more. She decided to address the issue.

"Are you two done whispering about me yet?" Savannah asked. "You don't need to whisper. We all know the future."

The other Metal girls all eavesdropped.

"It sounded more like they were just getting started." Ally said.

Sheila opened her top back up and flashed everyone.

"I'm ready to get started." Sheila said.

Cam thought it was funny. She didn't think 'started' was the right term.

"Started?" Cam asked. "Do you ever stop?"

Sheila shrugged her shoulders.

"Not until my power cell runs out or I'm terminated." Sheila said.

Cameron became irritated with all the unwanted attention. It was time to thin the herd. She made sure her Terminators brought two vehicles. It was done for a specific reason. She decided to enact the purpose.

"You four may leave now." Cameron abruptly said.

The Metal girls all looked at each other. It was a clear signal what Cameron wanted. She wanted Ally, Sheila, Cam, and Cammy to leave. She wanted to be alone with Savannah.

Cammy quickly looked at Savannah. She didn't want Cameron 'to send her away'.

Savannah knew Cammy wanted to stay. She felt she needed to say something. She preferred to make it a question so it wasn't taken as an order. It wasn't an order.

"Can Cammy come with us?" Savannah asked.

Cammy smiled at Savannah.

Cameron wanted to be alone with Savannah.

"Cammy may have other things to attend to." Cameron said.

Cammy wanted her desire known.

"I can stay." Cammy said.

Cameron was upset now.

"You will go." Cameron said.

Ally tried to defuse the situation. It seemed like the subject needed to be changed before it became a bigger point of friction. It might even lead to a confrontation. She tried to make light about the subject of her appearance.

"We can stop somewhere along the way, Cammy. You and Cam don't look five times better than me right now." Ally said. "We can have some fun. Maybe someone will hit on me for once. I never get to shoot anyone down, not when you two are around."

Sheila wanted to mess with Ally.

"I hate to break it to you, love, you got shot down a long time ago." Sheila said. "You could use a little jewelry to pick up your desirability a few notches."

Sheila's top was still open. She pulled on both of her rings to make her point.

Savannah looked at them. It was true. They all did look identical for once. They were all fresh out of the shower. Only their clothes were different. She could still tell who was who. Somehow Cameron still looked better than the others.

"Let me give each of you a hug and a kiss for helping rescue me and our team before you go." Savannah said. "I appreciate immensely when all of you did for me. I'm alive because of your efforts. I wouldn't be otherwise. It's a sobering thought for me to think about. Thank you again."

Savannah made a point of always thanking everyone she went on an operation with, even Cameron's Terminators. Most of them didn't have names. It always seemed to please them, especially Cameron's Terminators. She urged them to pick names if they wanted to, even if it was only for her to use. It always seemed to make them more motivated when she was around. They all asked for her to give them a name. They each wanted to be named by the 'Chosen One'. They felt it made them special. They viewed it as an honor to be assigned a personal identity by Savannah.

Savannah went and thanked each one of the Metal girls with a close tight hug and a kiss until she got to Cammy. She looked her directly in the face.

"You may stay if you want, Cammy." Savannah said. "It won't be a problem or an issue either. I've made my position clear. The choice is yours to make."

It pleased Cammy greatly to hear it. She looked at Cameron and then back to Savannah. The point was made. Savannah gave her a choice. There was no need to force a confrontation with Cameron.

"I have a few errands to run." Cammy said.

Savannah was about to protest but didn't. She thought about how Cammy came to help her when she struggled to carry Cameron. She knew Cammy didn't come for Cameron. Cammy came for her.

"Thank you for watching over me and coming for me." Savannah said.

Cammy couldn't let anything happen to Savannah.

"It's my function." Cammy said.

Savannah looked into Cammy's eyes.

"It's more than a function to me." Savannah said.

Cammy knew it was a lot more.

"It is." Cammy said. "You know why."

Savannah smiled and touched Cammy's cheek.

"I do." Savannah said. "YOU are MY 'Cameron'."

Cammy knew when not to overstep. She needed to remind Savannah of the reality of the situation. It was just the way things were.

"Cammy…." Cammy said. "It always HAS to be Cammy."

Savannah winked at Cammy. She knew when Cammy was 'Cameron'. They both did.

"Except for the special 'moments' you GIVE to me." Savannah whispered.

Savannah gave Cammy a long hug with a longer kiss.

"It's when I like to hear my 'real name'." Cammy said. "It's when things reach the special moments."

Savannah always called Cammy 'Cameron' during those special moments.

The four Metal girls headed outside. The SUV started and left.

Savannah looked at Cameron. She was ready for whatever Cameron wanted. She glanced towards where the bedrooms were. It was clear what was available on every level right now.

"It's just us…." Savannah said.

Cameron could see the 'brass ring' right in front of her. There were more important things. She needed to think of Savannah's well being. It wasn't about her. It was about Savannah.

"I know…." Cameron said. "You need to eat and rest, Savannah. I'm pushing you too hard. I'm going to hurt you and ruin your body."

Savannah ran her hands down the sides of her body.

"It's not ruined yet." Savannah said. "It's still young and energetic. It's also ready for more…."

Cameron noticed there were two more buttons undone on Savannah's shirt now. She hadn't even seen her do it. There was a lot of cleavage showing. She taught Savannah the move. It was to draw the target in. It was to make termination easier.

"What if the explosion was atomic in some way?" Cameron asked. "I would have flooded you with radiation. You may even have been terminated if the blast was big enough."

Savannah didn't want Cameron to dwell on what was in the past.

"It wasn't, and you didn't." Savannah said. "Anyway it was Skynet's doing, not yours."

Cameron looked over at the door. She was aware there was someone there still.

"Do you want to tell Cammy to come back inside, or do you want me to do it?" Cameron asked.

Savannah smiled. Cammy must have done it to allow Cameron and her to have some privacy, if they wanted it. It was an indication Cammy figured Cameron would buckle, like she always did when the situation to expand presented itself.

"She was worried about me." Savannah said. "She is worried about me."

Cameron headed for the door. She looked back over her shoulder.

"I am too." Cameron said.

Cameron opened the door and Cammy came back inside. She could put Cammy to good use. She could be their chauffeur.

"You can drive." Cameron said.

Cammy held up the set of keys she already took before without Cameron noticing.

Cameron frowned slightly. Cammy was just like her. It was irritating sometimes. It was because Cammy was her, even if they were a few modifications. She turned her attention back to Savannah.

"Where do you want to go, Savannah?" Cameron asked.

Savannah was tired. She needed some rest.

"I want to sleep a little." Savannah said. "It's been a long couple of days."

Cameron hoped to check on a few things.

"Is there anywhere else?" Cameron asked.

Savannah knew how Cameron thought.

"We all know where else we're going to stop." Savannah said. "So let's just go. I can catch a few winks along the way. It's all I need. I'm used to it."

Cameron smiled and then looked at Cammy.

"Go start the SUV." Cameron said.

Cammy left.

Cameron came over to Savannah and hugged her. She wanted to express her appreciation for what Savannah did for her. It was never anything she expected Savannah to do for her. Savannah picked her up and carried her over her shoulder. Savannah promised never to leave her or abandon her. Savannah kept her promise. Savannah kept all of her promises. She wasn't so sure she wanted Savannah to keep some of the promises she made to her. She needed to refocus.

"Thank YOU for being there for me." Cameron said. "You came for me at great risk and peril to yourself. You saved me again."

Savannah didn't see it that way at all.

"I only did what anyone would've done." Savannah said.

Cameron smiled faintly. It wasn't how she saw it.

"We both know it isn't true." Cameron said.

Savannah looked Cameron in the eyes.

"I love you, Cameron." Savannah said.

Cameron could feel the love.

"I love you too, Savannah." Cameron said.

Savannah's eyes remained locked on Cameron's eyes.

"I'll do anything for you." Savannah said. "Anything…."

Cameron felt some sadness.

"I'm not worth your life." Cameron said.

Savannah moved closer to Cameron.

"YOU are my life." Savannah said. "Without you, there's no point to living."

Cammy honked the horn on the SUV.

Cameron took Savannah's face in her hands. She gave Savannah a small kiss.

"Thank YOU." Cameron said. "I love you, Savannah."

Savannah was elated. She longed for the day it would be a real kiss.

"It's the 'Natural Order'." Savannah said.

Cameron wanted to be with her girls.

"Let's get the missing piece." Cameron said.

Savannah wanted to make her position clear.

"The piece isn't missing." Savannah said. "It's just not time yet."

Cameron knew she was going to 'fix' the problem.

Cameron and Savannah headed out to the SUV. They climbed in the back. Savannah stretched out. She laid her head on Cameron's lap.

Savannah was fast asleep in minutes.

Cameron was deeply worried about how she was inadvertently 'abusing' Savannah, her hand began to glitch.

Savannah's hand reached out and took it. She interlaced their fingers.

Cameron wasn't even sure Savannah actually woke up to do it.

She scanned Savannah as she slept.

CamNet updated Cameron on everything as they drove.

Cameron knew it was time….

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Torment And Conflict

Will both people know
When things have clicked
Or will one of them think
They may have been tricked

Will the love and feeling
Began to expand or constrict
What will be the result
Of what the events inflict

There's nothing at all
That always remains perfect
Some things that once were
Falter and become derelict

Can the feelings that sprout
Do more than afflict
Things will never go far
Until they can addict

Like a whirlwind in a mind
Things began to contradict
Does anything ever last
Without torment and conflict

Nobody
