Way to impress your girl Karnstein
''Woah! This place is so cool!'' Laura says excited.
''Uh friendly reminder that we are still stuck in the library.'' Carmilla says, still lying on the couch.
''I've checked this place out in the time you guys weren't here and it totally looks like some vampire used to live her. See that stair? It leads to a room full of blood-bags.'' LaF says.
''Amazing. At least I don't have to starve anymore.'' Carmilla says and gets up heading toward the stair.
''Found anything else than blood-bags?'' Laura asks.
''Nope.'' LaF sighs. ''Just some creepy old books. Like this one.'' LaF grabs an old dusty book out of the bookshelf. ''It's literally a suicide book for vampires.'' They open the book. ''Page one, starve yourself.'' They clear their throat. ''Lock yourself up in a room where no one can find you. Make sure you can't leave the room anymore. For example: slide the key underneath the door. Just lie down at one place and don't move to make it less painful.'' They turn the page. ''Page two, stake yourself -''
''Okay okay.'' Laura cut them off. ''Enough of that. What else?''
''Nothing much. Unless you'd like to know every detail about a vampires painful dead?''
''No thanks.''
''Well that was a kick.'' Carmilla walks back down. ''What are you guys reading?''
''How to kill yourself tips for vampires.'' LaF answers.
''Great. I might need that one if I stay here any longer.'' She flops back down on the couch.
''Okay ... So I'm going to explore the room upstairs because I kinda like to leave too.'' LaF says.
LaF walks upstairs.
''So.'' Laura picks Carmilla's legs up and flops down underneath them. She lays them back down to rest on her legs. ''What do you think? Secret vampire place?''
''I don't know.'' Carmilla shrugs. ''It does explain the blood-bags.''
''Which you clearly enjoyed.'' Laura chuckles and reaches out to wipe away a blood drop on the corner of her mouth. ''Urgh.'' Laura scrunches up her nose and wipes it off on her shirt.
Carmilla lazily smiles. ''Nah they tasted like they are from 1698''
''Hi Carm ...''
''Yeah?''
''Do you think we should talk?''
''Talk?''
''About us?''
''I think we should. If we are out of here.''
Laura nods and looks at Carmilla. ''I miss you.'' She bites down on her lip trying not to cry.
Carmilla sighs. ''Come here.'' She opens her arms. Laura crawls on top of her and rests her head on her chest, listing to to slow rhythm of Carmilla's heartbeat. She missed these moments with Carmilla. Cuddling, holding each other ... love. It feels different now they are not together. Like something's missing. ''I miss you too cupcake.''
''So why don't we just talk then?''
''Because right now isn't the right moment. I would love to talk with you when all of this is over. When we are out of here, when we are safe.''
''How do we get out of here? I mean where do we start?''
''I think we should start with the books. I mean we are in a library it's the obvious.''
''All of them?''
''Of course not.'' Carmilla rolls her eyes. ''We can skip the vampire suicide books.''
''I don't think there will be much books left to read if we do that.'' Laura jokes. Carmilla definitely didn't like the joke. There is an awkward silence. Until ...
''I found something!'' LaF runs down the stair. ''There's a- Ooh ... Am I interrupting something? Because if so please wait until we are out of here and I can't witness any of it.''
''Urgh.'' Laura groans. She sits back up. ''We were just talking. So what did you found?''
''There is a door behind the bookshelf, but there is no way to open it.''
''Phf.'' Carmilla scoffs. ''I'm a vampire I can open the door.''

Carmilla groans in frustration. She is now, after pulling and pushing didn't work, kicking the door.
''You're going to hurt yourself just stop.'' Laura says.
''Urgh.'' She turns around. ''So that's definitely not a normal door.''
''Oh really? Didn't figure that out yet.'' Laura sarcastically says.
''Okay so we should start reading books.'' LaF says.
''Great. You stay here and we go downstairs.'' Carmilla says and she grabs Laura's arm to gently drag her with her.
''Fine! But if I hear something that doesn't sounds like you're discussing the books, I'm going to throw a book at you guys. Just so you know!''
___
''Vampire seduction.'' Laura reads the cover of a book. ''Hm. Something for you?''
''Like I need that.'' Carmilla says. She grabs a book out of the bookshelf. ''Locked up.'' She reads. ''That sounds more like it can help us.'' She takes the book with her and flops down on the couch. Laura follows her action.
''Does it say something?'' Laura asks. Carmilla only hums in response. ''Well what does it say?''
''Something about an old powerful creature that used a spell to lock vampires up in a room so there was no way for them to escape.'' She closes the book. ''Well that takes us one step further.'' She gets up. ''We need to find a spell book.''
''So that door is locked with a spell?'' Laura asks. Carmilla nods. ''Well than there is no way we can unlock the door even if we find out how to do it. None of us has magical powers.''
''You only need magical powers to do a spell not to undo a spell. I've undone spells several times when mother used to torture me with them.'' She sighs. ''Good times.'' She breaths out sarcastically.
''How do you do it?''
''Depends on the spell. Sometimes you just need to say a specific word, sometimes you need an object, maybe we need to sacrifice someone I don't know we will see.''
''Sacrifice?!'' Laura's eyes widen. ''We can't do that. Besides there is only the three of us.''
''We don't need LaF.''
''Well that's great to know.'' A voice says. Laura and Carmilla both turn around to look at LaF, standing halfway the stairs. ''I just found something but I guess you don't need me.'' LaF walks back up.
''That was an ass thing to say.'' Laura says.
Carmilla sighs. ''I didn't know they were listing.''
''It doesn't matter if they were listing or not, it's an ass thing to say either way. And we do need LaF.'' Laura walks upstairs too.
''Way to impress your girl Karnstein.'' Carmilla sighs. ''Maybe I do need that seduction book.''
