Carmilla | Episode 32
you pretty vampire;
Carmilla could go about this situation two ways. She could become defensive and cold, a way she would have acted when she first met Laura. Or she could tell the truth and see where that gets her. Then again what’s the point when her roommate is oblivious as hell?
She chooses a mix of the two options.
"Don’t get used to it, Cupcake. It’s annoying to listen you complain about the damn paper… This is a one time thing only. I don’t like seeing you like this. Now why don’t you just lay down and go to sleep?" Unfortunately her voice does come out a bit colder than she wanted it to be. She was nervous about how Laura would react so it was only natural for her to sound like that.
Her eyes don’t dare to look up at Laura. If she does then she knows she’ll end up saying something stupid. It’s either that or she’ll convince herself that kissing Laura would actually be a good idea and then try to do it. It’s amazing how a human could bring out the emotions that Carmilla has tried to conceal for centuries.
The vampire lazily licks her index finger and thumb, then turns the flimsy page of her book. It’s not like she was actually reading it. She was just putting on an act. She already knew everything the book had to say. It was fun to pick out the flaws in the writing though.
She did it. Carmilla wrote her essay in less than an hour like it was no big deal, did vampires had supernatural powers to finish homework in less than a day?! She bit her lip, slowly saving the project on her USB drive and securing it in her backpack, just to make sure she wouldn't forget it in the morning. She decided to turn off her computer and walk tentatively towards her bed, not really sure of what to say, or do. A "thank you" could be good, but she also thought it wasn't enough to show her roommate how grateful she was. She had been stuck with the same paper for over a week, and yes, she shouldn't have procrastinated… But, hello? Fighting evil and rescuing girls?
She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Really? This wasn't a good time to run out of things to say, and her body wasn't helping either, there was this little hesitation in her mind, she wanted to run towards her and embrace her, perhaps a little kiss on the nose… But, how would Carmilla react to that? For what she noticed the past weeks, her roommate was kind of reluctant about physical contact, unless she started it of course. She didn't know how she would react if Laura simply decided to jump on her.
Why was making decisions so hard?!
❝I just… Thank you.❞
you pretty vampire;
"Yeah, whatever…"
As soon as Carmilla’s sensitive ears heard the click of the bathroom door closing she moves out of her bed and to the computer. For a moment she wondered if Laura left her webcam on, but she doesn’t know how to check if it is or how turn it off. She’ll have to deal with it being on- again if it is.
Her dark eyes begin to scan the document Laura was typing just minutes ago. Her writing style isn’t bad at all. Carmilla would have no time picking it up and writing as if she were her roommate. Now she just needs to see what the actual assignment is.
At the ten minute mark Carmilla already had a good amount of the paper written, but she was no where near the six thousand mark that would have Laura just barely pass. She was starting to feel anxious, thinking that she bit off more than she could chew this time. Shen then reminds herself that Laura probably won’t come out until Carmilla tells her to. Hopefully the girl could spare another fifteen minutes.
At the thirty-five minute mark Carmilla has gotten past where Laura needs to be to receive a passing grade. Her essay was now well constructed and the first few paragraphs have been altered to fit with the rest of it. She was sure this was satisfy Laura enough. If the girl wanted to add more then she can do that.
The vampire’s steps are quiet against the hardwood floor as she nears the bathroom door. Her knock was gentle, but not to the point where Laura wouldn’t be able to hear it. "Hey! Cupcake? It’s time to get out, alright?" Her voice calls out. She waits a few seconds and then shakes her head, figuring that she’s been heard.
Now that everything is done she goes right back to her bed and lays down, snatching up her philosophy book to make it look like she’s been reading the entire time.
Shampoo, soap, conditioner and repeat. She then, stayed under the shower head, letting the hot water relax her, the essay and whether she was going to approve or not passing to the back of her mind, she even started to hum a Taylor Swift song, closing her eyes and sighing contently. And, even when Laura had never been so good with measuring time, she was sure more than fifteen minutes had passed when Carmilla decided to knock at the door telling her to go out. Closing the shower head, and stepping onto the bathroom to dress herself with clean pajamas and brush her hair, she looked at the mirror.
Gosh, the dark circles under her eyes were awful. And tonight, with another sleepless evening, she was sure she would look like a total zombie the next day. But, she had to give the essay second hour in the morning, she couldn't fall asleep. Anxiety came to her again, and she brushed her teeth quickly before stepping out of the bathroom, pajamas on and her still wet hair leaving a trail on the floor.
She hung the towel back on its place behind the door, and walked quickly past her roommate, sitting on her chair decided to keep up with the work, there she Wait, what the heck?!
7,002 words.
Her face was stoic. She was damn sure that before she entered the bathroom her essay was under the 4,000 words, there was no way… Her wheely chair immediately turned into Carmilla, who was reading the same book she had before she decided to shower, in the exact same position she remembered. Could she? Did she? …She finished the essay for her? But…
❝Did you just… Carmilla, you? I mean…❞
( How smooth Laura, how smooth. )
'cause 99.9% of the time..I like sketches better….than the crap I do color…
X_____x
roommate-from-hell liked for a starter.
❝Carm? Hey, can I ask you a question? It's just that I am curious… Does blood tastes different for every vampire? Or does it tastes different depending on the person?❞
you pretty stupid vampire;
Carmilla’s dark eyes follow Laura’s figure around the room as she grabs a few things she needs. She could only roll her eyes in response to what Laura requested. Knock on the door in fifteen minutes? Fifteen minutes might be long enough… She’s been attending Silas for so long now and all the projects were similar. She could probably whip something up in time.
"Of course. Do me a favor and don’t think about your paper while in there, okay? The whole point is to relax. Not to anticipate the work you have to do when you come out." Her lips curl up into a small smile as she reaches over to her ipod on it’s dock and lowers the volume of the music playing.
Now stop babbling, Creampuff. Get a move on. I promise I’ll handle things for you, okay?
The vampire’s smile fades when she realizes she might need more than fifteen minutes to do this. Yes, completing Laura’s project for her would be easy. Again this is probably a project similar to one she’s done before. It’s just a matter of reading Laura’s previous papers and picking up on her writing style that would be a challenge. As long as Laura doesn’t time herself then while in the bathroom then maybe Carmilla could get away with keeping her in there for a half hour.
Just after opening the bathroom door, towel and her special sponge in hand, she turned around to see Carmilla, a tiny smile on her face. If someone told Laura that the girl she classified as "the roommate of hell" would be this kind of a person, caring and protecting, she would've laugh and roll her eyes, if she was being real honest, she still found it hard to believe, hard to believe that Carmilla protected her, in her own unorthodox and weird way, but did try her best, the way she made her laugh and blush when she said those stupid nicknames Laura had started to like so much. She wanted to run towards her and give her a big kiss along with a hug, but her mind told her to stop, to get into the shower and do nothing more.
❝I'll try my best not to think about it, I promise, and, uh… Carmilla? Thank you.❞
After that, she stepped inside of the bathroom and closed the door behind her, waiting a few seconds, just to make sure her roommate wouldn't move for her place; ( Laura wasn't waiting for her to knock on the door and kiss her, of course she wasn't, but she had to make sure anyways. ) Sighing at her stupid thoughts, she started the shower, undressing and stepping onto the hot water, feeling her muscles relax. She then, closed her eyes for a few seconds, maybe she could stay there for a little more than fifteen minutes.
I AM STRONGER THAN THIS! I say, to m y s e l f as I try not to break a p a r t
God, what am I doing? Naive, provincial girl. Entirely too tightly wound... Such a cliché. I ought to know better. And yet... there's something about you.
carmilla;
Oh god. Deep breath in, then out. Not biologically necessary, but still emotionally stabilizing for the vampiric edition of 21 questions.
"That is a grand idea. I’ll pass it on to Mama and see how she feels about having a class on vampires here. Idiotic ideas aside, of course I can turn into an animal. All vampires can. There…There are some more powerful ones who can evolve their animals over time. You know, make them better. Stronger. Otherwise no, you don’t get to choose. It’s just sort of chosen for you based on your personality. I don’t really know all the details about it, so.”
She rolls her eyes after hearing the vampire's sarcasm, she should be used to it by now, but she still gets somewhat annoyed when she uses that smug tone and her eyes twitch in superiority, like she knows everything about life. She probably does, though. She's been living for more than a hundred years, learning about ever single époque and studying new things when she lives in a new time. Laura, compared to that, is nothing more than a student who can barely keep up with her grades without having an anxiety attack.
Her legs make the wheely chair roll until she's next to Carmilla in the bed, looking at her with curiosity, she answered a part of her question, but didn't answer what animal she transformed into… If it wasn't a bat, like she thought… Maybe it was… What animal would fit with her broody roommate's personality?
❝And Which animal you turn into?❞
if you get cold this winter my thighs are here to keep your ears warm
also i’m dee hi hi
hey hey. i am charlie and i'm a nerd.
useless vampire ;
"—Yeah, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been waiting for that one to come up. Dracula was one guy who honestly set the bar really low for human understanding of vampires. No, I do not turn into a bat. It…just depends on the vampire. Basically, we can each turn into some sort of animal. Not everyone chooses bats; it’s just cliche at this point, and really most of us didn’t get to exactly choose for ourselves.”
❝Well, it was much better than reading Twilight, or as you put it "the sparkly twerp." Honestly now that you're here I don't know what to believe and what not to believe, I don't understand much about vampires, we should have a class about that on the University, it'd help a lot with all the recent events Wait, what?
You can turn into an animal?!❞
❝That's amazing! Which animal? Do you get to choose or like it comes already integrated with the vampiristic nature?❞
you stupid vampire;
Don’t be mistaken. Carmilla did feel bad since this was technically her fault. Unfortunately there was no way to prevent this from happening if they went back in time though. It was fate for this to happen. Fate is a bitch.
"You know what? You seem stressed. Why don’t you go take a shower. The hot water will help your tense muscles…" It’s not like Carmilla was convincing Laura to leave so she could do something. Really. She was just going to stay in her bed and read a book that she’s already read countless times before. It’s not like she was going to try and make things up to her roommate. Not at all.
Laura bit her lip looking at the computer screen for a few seconds. 3,501 words, she needed to get to 6,000 to at least pass with a C-, but she was indeed stressed, her back muscles were far too tense and her head was pounding, feeling like her eyes were going to come out of her face at any second. She was hungry, moody, sleepy and wanted to throw herself to bed, eat peanut butter and never get up again. Maybe the bath would help, after taking it she could go back to write the essay, hoping to be more focused and less frustrated.
She stood up from her chair, feeling her legs loosen up from its sitting position and grabbed the yellow towel hanging from the door, she looked at Carmilla with a face she couldn't describe. Was it gratitude, was it happiness? Something more?
❝Just… Knock on the door after fifteen minutes. I wouldn't want to stay much longer and decide to not finish my paper or to fall asleep in the shower… Believe me, it has happened before and Just knock the door, please.❞
