Selfish (Camren)

Part 23

A/N
I'm sorry in advance...

Camila rummaged through the compound, trying to find anything that she could use that would help her fight her sister. She needed a magical object so that she could siphon the magic for herself. Her sister had her own magic while she didn't and that put her at a disadvantage.

She tumbled back over the boxes she threw on the floor and bumped into the canvas that Lauren was painting on this morning. Curiosity got the best of the witch and she carefully pulled off the cloth that was draped over the painting.

She gasped at the sight of the artwork. This was the most beautiful painting she'd ever seen, even if it wasn't finished yet. Every detail, colour and shade was so well done, you'd think it was a photograph. Camila had never seen herself as beautiful, but the way had Lauren painted her, made her see the beauty that Lauren saw.

Her fingers hovered over the work, wanting to trace every pattern but she didn't want to damage the masterpiece. Lauren was truly exceptional at everything she did.

The sound of glass shattering downstairs caused Camila to retreat back outside, but she made sure to take one last look at the magnificent painting before leaving.

"Lauren?" Camila called out and the tribrid stopped in her tracks.

She turned around to face the witch that looked so scared and confused. Lauren face hardened and she marched towards Camila, but Normani appeared, blocking her from the witch.

Lauren grabbed the alpha, throwing her across the room and the impact knocked her out.

The tribrid's focus was now back on Camila.

"You won't hurt me." Camila told her with glossy eyes.

Lauren's red eyes stared at her intently, searching for any fear in her teary brown eyes.

Camila flinched when Lauren took a step closer. Blood stained her lips and hands. If anyone took a look at her now, they'd think she's a monster, but Camila knew better.

"You say this, but yet you tremble by my presence, pretty witch." Lauren pointed out, licking the blood from her lips.

Even though her heart pounded, Camila stood unmoving, wanting to prove the girl in front of her wrong.

When they were finally face to face, Camila could feel Lauren's breath against her lips. Lauren gripped Camila's hair, exposing the witch's neck. She inhaled deeply at the intoxicating scent, feeling the urge to feed off her and never letting go.

Instead, Lauren moved her lips to Camila's ear, gripping her jaw gently. "I'd never harm a single hair on your body, pretty witch."

Camila relaxed at the words, leaning into Lauren's body. Lauren wanted nothing more than to pull her closer and give her the world.

"But that doesn't mean that I'll let your sister live." Lauren confessed.

Camila pulled back, ready to give Lauren a piece of her mind, but the girl vanished in a flash, leaving her heart racing.

Colton hissed at the pain pulsing through his arm. Lauren's bite really did a number on him and he knew he wouldn't be able to survive with out her blood.

He crawled towards the two girls that layed on the floor and gripped the dagger that was in Dinah's chest. He swiftly pulled it out, watching the colour return to her face.
