WHO: Cameron and Remy
WHAT: A talk
WHERE: Cameron's apartment

Thirteen walked up to the door and knocked. And knocked again, harder. "Cameron, are you in there? I'd really like to talk to you. Cameron, please. Open the door."

She leaned her head against the doorpost, waiting.

Comments

[immunolologist]

There was silence from the other end of the door. A shuffle.

"It's probably better if you stay away from me."

[drhadley]

She stopped knocking.

"They said there's no way to get out of here. Is that true?"

[immunolologist]

She paused.

"Yes, it is. I'm sorry, Remy. But while you're here, they'll pretty much give you anything.." She was quiet for a moment.

"You should volunteer at the hospital. It's something productive to do."

[drhadley]

"Where's the hospital? And did we really date? And did you really..."

She slid down to sit the floor, arms around her legs. "Cameron, I don't remember any of that."

[immunolologist]

Cameron hesitated. This wasn't something to talk about through the door, and she couldn't avoid Remy forever..

With a soft click, she unlocked the door. As she opened it, she offered a hand, forcing a smile. Her fangs gleamed in the light (she couldn't help them).

"It's near the center of the base. And.. yeah. We did. I loved you." Love you.

"I lost control of my cravings."

[drhadley]

"Oh, I'll go there tomorrow." Remy accepted the hand and stood up, but hesitated when she saw Cameron's fangs. "Does that happen a lot?"

[immunolologist]

"No." She shut the door, but left it unlocked for Remy. Cameron took a seat on her couch, nervous.

"I actually died. I lost control of myself, lost my humanity.. another base resident set me on fire." She shuddered.

"I came back a human, but after a breakup, the same vampire from before manipulated me into coming back to his apartment. Got me drunk, said he understand.." She shrugged.

"I didn't choose it either time."

[drhadley]

"Oh. I'm sorry." Remy paced in front of her. "So the rape thing happened when you weren't, uh, in control of yourself?"

She stopped, staring at Cameron.

"Was that me, and I've lost my memory, or was that another version of me or...? It doesn't matter." It can't have been me. "I think I need a drink. They do have alcohol here, right?"

[immunolologist]

"It was another version of you. And yes, they do." She grinned, fangs still evident.

"About three bars on base. I keep fully stocked myself. Can I get you something?" Same old Cameron.

[drhadley]

She sipped on the drink Cameron gave her, not quite able to compute that Cameron would have raped her. Or hurt anyone, ever, really.

"You've dated me and I haven't dated you. I don't think I've ever been in that situation before. But, so you died. And then- I'm sorry, you don't want to talk about that. I just... I'm rambling. Do people die here?"

[immunolologist]

"It's okay." Her voice was soft.

"All of the time. Amber was here.. she died." Cameron stared at Remy for a moment.

"You're worried about the Huntington's, aren't you?"

[drhadley]

"How do you know about the Huntington's?" She was whispering.

[immunolologist]

"You.. the first you. You were here when you found out. We were together at the time. It was before I became a vampire. Then you left, and showed up again... that's when I became a vampire. Sorry, I'm trying to give you a timeline. It's confusing. But, everyone knows. Everyone saw it on TV.. I'm sorry."

[drhadley]

"Right. Everyone knows... everything, then. Of course they do." She stared at her hands and at her drink, not wanting to look at Cameron. She tried a lighter tone. "So you watch yourselves on TV?"

[immunolologist]

She leaned back, comfortable.

"Yeah. Everyone does. Or they read their own novels and such. It's so weird." She suddenly sat up, serious.

"Listen, a lot of bad people are here. Mainly right now, is Hannibal Lecter-- yes, I'm serious. He's locked up, but I'm almost 100% sure he'll get out. Be careful, okay?" Her tone was stern, eyes worried for the other woman.

[drhadley]

Thirteen nodded. "I'm still kind of hoping I'll wake up and find out this was just a bad trip. But I'll be careful." She chuckled.

"I don't even know if I'll find my way home. No, you don't need to worry, it's just... I don't know. It's weird."
