can i sit beside you as i knit? this way, you can see how it'll turn out slowly before you wear it!

[𝑪𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎. ✞ @KARNCOUNTESS]

Don't stop. Please.
I like seeing you knit, Laura — it's quite calming.

Will she? How does she know a knitted coat will fix everything?

Sulking in the corner of her own room. 😑

Carmilla Laura

and she bares her neck further to receive more affections ( bites ), to be loved ( drained ) even further.

only in her sleep can she dream. only in her sleep.

⠀

[𝓛𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚 . @flaxenhaired]

⠀

she smiles in her sleep, because the carmilla in her dreams kisses her once more.

beware the one who lurks in the night, but the one who lurks in the night owns her heart. she welcomes the darkness and all its loves and pains,

[𝑪𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎. ✞ @KARNCOUNTESS]

Wh-

Goodness, how embarrassing. How did she allow this to happen? She should have bled her dry, first day she came here. She should not have fostered a relationship like this, she thought she didn't in the first place, but...

Feelings, what a curse.

"carmilla....."

[𝓛𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚 . @flaxenhaired]

if only her nighttime lover is her.

reaching out in her sleep to the other, she presses carmilla's lips to where she previously kissed ( fed ), her expression full of slumbered bliss. this is the secret that she will carry to her grave,

[𝑪𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎. ✞ @KARNCOUNTESS]

......

'Love' comes not without sacrifice, that is the grim truth of it. One damnable truth that has to be adhered to since time immemorial, to Carmilla.

A thing of the night cannot help but feast and hunger, and possess such an endless appetite.

and the main reason why she stays and declares that she will protect carmilla.

because she loves her, even if it's not allowed, even if the lord shuns her for her actions. she is already one who sucks life, so she has nothing to lose in loving carmilla.

until she cannot breathe....!

"oh...." she murmurs in her sleep. "if only..... if only it is you....carmilla...."

⠀

[𝓛𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚 . @flaxenhaired]

⠀

her worries and agitations are gone, and she imagines her lover kissing her worries away; how gentle they are, with their kisses to her neck and breast, her heart hammering like a maiden in love! and nightly does this lover visit,

[𝑪𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎. ✞ @KARNCOUNTESS]

Ah, how she'd have loved to have seen her expression; what face would Laura have made if she connected the dots in that moment? Shock? Fear? Anger?

Either way, the queen of the night deems that it would not have done much of anything to change the

courtly but passionate in their love, but laura wishes for it to....oh, she cannot wish for it, she cannot.....

but in her sleep, she keeps them close—she yearns for more of their kisses, more of her ever beating heart to pump more and more,

lulled into the spell of sleep as her blood remains flowing like the furies in the night.

her pulse still maddens as she slips into slumber, her blood boils in excess, the perfect meal for the queen.

⠀

[𝓛𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚 . @flaxenhaired]

⠀

it is that lullaby once more; her reasoning dulls and dims—she cannot connect the dots when her speculations are falsely affirmed by the true villain before her. taking comfort in the arms of the devil, laura lets herself slumber,

++

⠀

[𝑪𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎. ✞ @KARNCOUNTESS]

"I believe in you, always."

Thus declares Carmilla of Karnstein, with a slight tremble in her voice. Laura is burning with such desperation, and more; adoration for her host, and the countess drinks deep of the feeling like a fine wine.

Silently

remain lucid, sacrifice her sleep, all for carmilla and her people. especially for carmilla....

"i shall be with you, i shall not run, i shall be strong," laura promises, breathing labored. "please, believe in me, carmilla—i will not frighten you....!"

⠀

[𝓛𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚 . @flaxenhaired]

"yes, i....oh, yes, we will be together, and i shall never harm you, i do so promise....!"

she holds carmilla in her arms, assuming the role of a protector; if she is indeed the one terrorizing the karnstein territory now, she shall, out of sheer will,

[𝑪𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎. ✞ @KARNCOUNTESS]

"Yes."

There is that rush she wanted. Blood bubbling so delightfully out of mad desperation, and...
Ah, why is it so powerful? Why does it feel so much more prominent?

"Yes, yes," she murmurs, finding herself lost in thought, as crystal-blue eyes

her eyes sting with more tears, looking at her in abject desperation—she will give carmilla her life without question.

[𝓛𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚 . @flaxenhaired]

"it can be no one but you....i will not allow anyone but you....!"

wild, emerald eyes look at her intensely; yes, carmilla is her only hope. her most precious friend, who bears all of her affections....!

[𝑪𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑎. ✞ @KARNCOUNTESS]

Ah.
Ah— hahahaha...!

The laugh shoves itself past her lips. Yes, yes. She can trust her, confide in Carmilla. Such an obedient, precious little thing Laura is.

And the way Carmilla can sense the other's blood rushing, she is almost compelled to leave
