I Hate Myself but I Love You

Chapter 51

Carmilla's POV

"We have everything?" Laura asks, looking around my cabin.

I hope we get to see it again. I go over my mental checklist.

"We're just missing one last thing." I grab some ropes from the trunk at the end of my bed. "Not even I can break these."

"Why do you even have those?" LaF questions, their eyes flickering to Laura.

"In case a supernatural creature finds this place. With these I can interrogate them without having to hold them down for hours."

"That actually makes sense." LaF nods to themself, "Alright, then. Let's go save the world."

We say goodbye to Papa Hollis, who's staying behind. He may not like that he's not there, but we all know it's or the best. We set off and somehow we're lucky enough to find a clearing near a border of the campus. It's surrounded by trees and secluded, but the campus is easy to access from here.

Mattie immediately begins to set up whatever she and Xena found for the spell.

"How long will it take to set it up?" I inquire.

"Not too long. You should set off to find Maman in a minute." She murmurs, more focused and serious than I've seen her be in years.

LaFontaine comes over and hands me the air cannon, and the mason jar is attached to it. "I'm sure you know how to shoot a gun, right?" They wait for me to nod my confirmation before they continue. "Okay, then there's not much else you'll need to know. This is obviously the trigger, and the mason jar is kind of like the clip storing the ammo. Here's the safety, just flick it off when you're about to do it. Just make sure JP's not in your line of fire, okay? And as long as you're ten feet away, it should hit her and knock her out. I'd advise you to tie her up right away because I'm not sure how long it'll knock her out for. At worst, maybe half an hour. At best, maybe a day. But I'm not sure because I've never studied vampires' systems."

"Thanks, LaFontaine. I'll be back with her soon."

"No problem, vampira. Be careful with her, please. Perry's still in there."

"I will."

The ground rumbles, even stronger than what we thought at the time were aftershocks of Lophiiformes. I hear ground ready to collapse and know that the crater is going to expand and swallow the entire campus if this keeps up. Of course this couldn't be easy.

  We're starting to near the end :O This story might not be finished for another two or three weeks, but there's still not a ton left! And don't worry, there will be angst (cackles) but it (might) get better...
Thank you amazing humans for reading and stay awesome!
