The week had passed by, school taking in most of their time and energy. Daniela and Larissa only having the time to come back once to the old ruin, barely cleaning the front door from Ivy strongly holding on to the old stone. It came to be Friday, Larissa was sitting on her bed reading as the door opened at 7 pm. She looked up at Morticia who was back unexpectedly early.

"Have you forgotten something?" Was the only possible thing for Larissa, even though Morticia never forgot something.

"No I just felt like coming home early today." Her cheeks flustered a bit as she tried to keep in a smile.

'Something is weird about her, she had been weird the whole week if I think about it' Larissa though to herself, caring on with her book, but her brain thought otherwise and so it came her eyes wandered from the pages over to Morticia again and again.

Morticia didn't really know what to do. She had sat down, looking over to Larissa, while trying not to bluntly stare and looking away every time she saw Larissas eyes move up to her. She was switching in her positions, picking up different things, pretending to do something

'this is ridiculous' she could feel her cheeks warming up 'I just have to ask her it really isn't that hard, you moron.' She sighed 'Larissa would you want to watch a movie with me? Hey Larissa I saw this movie in a story and- urgh it's not gonna get better' she took a deep breath "hey yo, wanna watch a movie?" She could feel her cheeks burn her to the ground, this was awful '"hey yo" you twat should jump out of that window'

"yeah sure, I would like to"

the words came over Morticia like cold water 'she, she said yes! Oh thank you mother' "cool" was all she could get out.

She took out the movie projector that was actually part of the original room interior and pulled down the canvas. She was so fast setting everything up, that all Larissa had to do was taking her pillow to sit down onto Morticia's blanket, Morticia had laid out together with some couch pillows. Morticia started the movie and sat down next to Larissa. She panicked inside having literally no clue how to sit next to the most stunning person known to earth. She stared trying to concentrate on the movie.

Larissa arm brushed against hers as she was moving around a bit "I'm sorry"

"don't apologise"

"why are we like this?"

Morticia was silent, she had no answer to this. 'What does she even mean with "we" wasn't it just her behaving like some idiot?' Her cheeks were burning... she did not remember when they had started burning, maybe they had felt like this the whole time.

Larissa's hand laid down upon Morticia's starting to caress it. Morticia could feel her heart stop and for a moment she had to close her eyes, taking in every moment of this heavenly touch. She leaned onto Larissa, breathing in her misty rose  sent, giving her the warm feeling of summer dawn.

Suddenly Larissa's hand grabbed hers tight "did I mention I'm easily scared of horror movies?"

Morticia started paying attention to the canvas, seeing a woman who must either be Lilith or her daughter, slaying a man like a pig. A grin widened on her face.

"There should be les of those man things who dare to call themselves leader of human kind" the horned women turned around to a scared and naked woman who was cowering in a corner. She bowed down to her caressing her cheek "don't be scared by me, my dearest" she pulled her closer by her neck, embracing her in a deep kiss. The woman answered it after surviving her first shock, now lunging for Lilith's lips like air. "Be my child in honour" Lilith said, caressing her jawline, embracing her neck with her lips before theatrically biting into it. "Bring clearance and power to women kind, Mircalla, as you are one of my strongest."

"This is about Carmilla!" Larissa and Morticia said in unison.

.

The movie took quite the turns telling the story of Carmilla before meeting Laura. But no matter how much love Larissa had for this vampire, it wasn't enough for her to not be frightened to death from this rather brutal storytelling, grabbing onto Morticia for life every now and then. Morticia laughed at her every time it happened, herself quite enjoying every bloodshed. They had moved closer and closer while the pictures where moving over the canvas, but now as the movie had come to an end and Morticia had stood up to turn of the projector, the cold next to Larissa made her shiver. She watched her roommate cleaning it all up, putting the projector away, rolling up the canvas and placing it back into a corner and then turning back around to her. Both were just looking at each other in silence, admiring the other for a few seconds. A soft smile spread on Morticia's lips, like Larissa had never seen it before.

"How do you think of it?"

"The movie?"

"Of course the movie"

"I admit, it's a great film... I... I didn't know you liked wo- women" a blush run to her cheeks.

"Every great one does" Morticia grinned

"I suppose so" Larissa smiled back "but I don't know if the horror won't keep me awake this night"

"of liking women?"

"No silly, the movie. I can still see it all in my head"

"if it's bothering you too much, you... could come and... sleep with in my bed" Morticia was shocked by her own boldness, but there was no moving back.

"That would be very nice thank you, but I don't want to be a bother too much."

"You wouldn't be, but do what you think is best." She tried to brush it of, not wanting to seem desperate.
