Title: only bad people live to see their likeness set in stone (what does that make me?)
Fandom: Carmilla
Pairings/Characters: Carmilla Karnstein, Laura Hollis, Matska Belmonde, Past - Laura/Carmilla
Notes: "No Heroics" fucked me up. This was written immediatley after that episode was aired - after I stopped crying, obviously.
Summary: "No." You say, and paradise burns. - Carmilla centric.
"No." You say, and paradise burns.
//
You will not betray Mattie.
Laura doesn't understand.
//
Mattie is your sister.
She was the one who explained your new world after you were turned.
She was the only one who tried to protect you from Mother, and when she couldn't - which was more times than you'd care to admit - she was the one who bandaged your wounds.
It's not your fault, kitty, Mother's always been like this.
//
Laura doesn't understand how few you can trust in this world.
Ell is dead. Mother is dead. Will is dead.
You thought you could trust Laura, but maybe you were wrong.
(You hate your heart. It always finds a way of betraying you.)
//
"Romantic ideal? Because I think you're better than your long history of murdering and callously discarding people?"
Monster. You think. She thinks I'm a monster.
"Is that what you think of me?" Your head is spinning, tears are pricking at the backs of your eyes.
Who are you kidding?
Monster has been scrawled onto your soul since the night you were murdered. Since your first resurrection.
It's part of who you are.
No-one can change that, not even her.
//
"If you really loved me then you'd stay."
Aren't you listening Laura?
I can't stay.
//
"I'm done."
You don't look back.
//
Crying alone is hard, but you're used to it at this point.
//
Fin.
