The euphoria of escaping the Hell-hole ( literally ) that is Silas University has settled a little. They’ve shut themselves into a little hotel room in Vienna, which was as far as they could get with their pocket money and sucky transportation. Big Bear Hollis will no doubt come rescue them tomorrow, but for now night is falling on Carmilla’s home of 336 years. ❛ Hey. Are you okay? You’re still ... ❜ She trails off and lets her gentle palm on Laura’s chest speak for itself. Are you still alive? Some part of her is afraid that the ease with which she answered Mattie’s riddle means that Laura will be taken away from her. But Carmilla feels Laura’s stubborn heart beating underneath her shirt. ❛ Good. ❜ It’s odd that she can feel her own knocking away. It still feels like a tiny bug is hammering on her ribs. ❛ Are you okay, though? Like ... really okay? ❜

[Would it be mean if I reminded you that Laura’s the first person Carm touched when she got her heart back and that she didn’t want it unless she could feel Laura’s heartbeat too]

Carmilla being a decision away from turning into the very monster she fought so hard to destroy. Willing to tear the earth apart if it meant she might find her way back to Laura. 

You're killing me

“You are!”

One of those moods. She hopes this’s a short one, figures it’s gonna be, but she’s still picking the kid up real easy, just one arm, wrapped real tight around her middle-- she remembers to be careful, loosens her grip a little. Not cool, Faithy, remember, you got about sixty tons of strength on her. Clutch a little too tight, gonna snap her ribs in half, got another dead Normie on your hands.

Puts her down, then, big, big, big grin all kinds of wide on her face. “Spooked y’weren’t comin’, figured I was gonna hafta go on a hunt, call out the search parties or whatever.” That’s what she figured-- she ain’t kiddin’. She’s dusted, like, twenty vamps on campus in a week, just a solid week! Place’s worse’n SunnyD ever was!

“Where’d ya go?” Chill, Lehane, breathless, a little? Picks up a book on the bed she’s been half-crashin’ on-- Slayer don’t need more than two hours, tops. Well, not this one. Most of ‘em do, but she ain’t most! She’s The! Slayer! The one! --Well, the two and only! And that’s! Important! Tosses the book, some kinda-- History of Journalism book, “Got in five pages then I figured I’d have an easier time just takin’ a nap.”

Casey nods and though she can very well see with her own eyes how bleak the situation may be, she still smiles at the face of it. “Yeah, I got that much. But not to jinx anything mind you, it could always be worse.”

“Hey-- uh...” It’s four in the morning. Awkward lingering, even, blood pooling at the corner of her lower lip. She licks it off and then thumbs it-- kay. Owch. Smudges it between fingertips Whatev. Bad night. “Hate t’ask but-- ya mind if I-- crash?”

“Nah. I totally get it. It’s like-- string theory or whatever,” It isn’t like string theory, but she heard that phrase used once, had no idea what it meant, and has assumed by placing it in conversation it relates to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, but give a high school dropout a break. She’s practically mastered jujitsu, she doesn’t know who the hell Pythagorean was.

(It’s Pythagorus. Buffy will probably correct her later.)

(Asshole.)

But she’s been told this Campus is crawling with creepies. And it is. Supposedly, there are vamps just chillin’.

So she’s more or less stationed here. Pretending to be a student. Sitting in classes with her feet up dozing and thinking about what she thinks about. (She won’t lie, some of it’s a little interesting. She hung out in a Bio class the other day where they got to take apart a pig fetus and now she more or less knows the parts okay but she almost crushed the damn thing. Slayer strength and all.)

“This place always so damn weird?”
