The bonding
When the door opened, Carmilla was shocked to see Laura crying at her doorstep. Her eyes were red and she could barely catch her breath.
"Carm, I am so scared"
" Laura what happened? What did you do?"
"I did what was right and it felt so good, but the more i think about it, the more terrified i get. But i couldn't let them harm you anymore. I couldn't let them ruin your life"
"Cutie, my life is perfect as long as you are in it! They can't ruin it"
Laura raised her head as she wiped her tears away. She couldn't believe what Carmilla just said. 'my life is perfect as long as you are in it'. She wanted to kiss her, now more than ever. But she couldn't. She couldn't kiss her, until everything is fixed. Because she knows Victoria and things will get messy. All she wanted to do, was to take Carmilla and leave. Go somewhere were there is no Victoria, no Greg. She was looking at Carmilla and she couldn't believe how amazing she was.
"What are you think about?"
"Just how perfect you are Carm. And how lucky i am to be here with you"
"Trust me cupcake i am not perfect."
"You are to me"
Laura traced Carmilla's bruises with her fingers. Her touch was soft and calming, which made Carmilla close her eyes and embrace the moment. Sadly, that moment stopped when the door opened and a woman got in.
"Carmilla, what the hell were you thinking getting into a fight? Look at your face! You are blue for God's sake!"
"Mum it's okay"
"No it is not! My daughter should now get into fights. And who is this young lady?"
"Mum this is Laura, a friend of mine"
"A friend? Well that's new!"
"Hello Mrs Karnstein, pleasure to meet you! And can i add that Carmilla was not in a fight, she was attacked"
"Hello Laura, well, we will see if you are pleased to meet me in a few days from now"
"I should go now" Laura kept looking at Carmilla, as she was trying to figure out if she was okay.
"No, Laura, you should stay"
" it's okay Carm, i should let you talk with your mother! I will see you tomorrow" Laura let Carmilla's hand and before she closed the door behind her, she glanced at her one more time!
Carmilla's mum was strict, but she loved Carmilla so much. The moment Laura left, she let her caring self out. She hugged her daughter and couldn't let go.
"Do you know how scared i was when I found out someone hit you? I drove here so fast that i nearly run over an old lady! That poor woman was so scared!"
"Mum! It would be nice if you don't kill anyone by accident! Sooooo, how did you find out?"
"Your neighbor called me, when he saw a guy kicking you. Who was that guy? We should go to the police!"
"Mum, just leave it. They mistreated someone and i couldn't just sit there and do nothing"
Carmilla was staring at the ground this whole time, when suddenly she felt her mum's hand on her chin. She raised her head and looked her mum in the eyes.
"This is about Laura isn't it?" Carmilla's silence gave away the answer. "She is means a lot to you, doesn't she?"
"More than she knows".
The rest of the day passed with Carmilla talking to her mum about Laura. She was talking about Laura until the time her mum had to leave.
"Are you sure okay?"
"I am fine mum! You can go!"
"If you need anything, just call me. Or call Laura! That works too!"
As soon as her mum left, Carmilla sat in bed trying to get Laura out of her head and try to sleep! But hell, she just couldn't!
