There were many things Carmilla wanted to ask mother about but knew better than to probe. She wasn’t the only vampire who had a curiosity around things her mother had or had done. Mattie was the closest to push all those buttons and as a result was often punished for even thinking of asking. Even the board would occasionally spy just to gain that one step ahead. Every time landing in a failed attempt. Mother was many things but private was something she excelled at.
Even in an alternative universe the curiosity surrounding the vault was still something Carmilla always wanted to know. Of course she had heard rumours and vampires had claimed to have seen things. Others used to say that whoever mother took in would never come out. Over the years as whispers would carry, the stories spiralled into webs of mystery and fed that curiosity even more.
So why not take the opportunity to see it here? How different could it be?
Having spent time with Laura and Mircalla, Carm couldn’t sleep. She had left the two of them to explore the house and this led to discovering Ell in her study. It was still strange to see her, the complete mirror of her Laura but not quite the same. Although unaged she was older, as was Mircalla, and their experiences and world was shaped under completely different circumstances. But no matter what universe they found themselves in it was clear that fate always brought them together. There was something about that idea that would normally scare Carmilla but when it came to Laura there was nothing she was more sure about it.
After getting changed into her usual black leather pants and whatever dark coloured tank top she could find. Carm grabbed her jacket and looked over at Laura and Mircalla who were sleeping soundly. Both didn’t look like they were going to wake any time soon and she would be surprised if Laura wasn’t exhausted from earlier and needed some rest. This would at least give Carm the chance to see more of Ell behind her walls of being the dean.
She tied her jet black hair back into a high ponytail and headed for the living room where Ell said to meet once she had finished with some paperwork. From what Carmilla had worked out so far in the day of her and Laura arriving is that Ell seemed to be swamped in paperwork. She might have that wrong but so far Laura’s double always seemed busy and Carm was determined to at least get to know the side of Ell wasn’t behind a desk. She was also curious on her relationship with Mircalla but didn’t yet know how to approach that subject if even to bring it up at all?
“Ell?” Carm said quietly as came down the stairs. On instinct she tried to catch a heartbeat like she would normally do with Laura but had to remind herself that Ell was full vampire and much harder to detect.

Carmilla would find herself in a well lit vaulted circular room with a seal inscribed into the floor that looked exactly like the first seal (which was actually on the floor below). In the centre was a golden astrolabe, and there were twelve vault doors, one at each point of the clock. Two of them were marked with large glowing writing - one saying "Monkey's Paw. Do not use the W Word." and a second marked "Null Room for items confiscated from The Alchemy Club". The doors to all twelve of the rooms were each inscribed with a different rune, mirroring part of the seal, and each made of a different golden or silvery metal.
"So this is the vault." Ell smiled. "What do you think?"

Date: 2018-02-11 07:40 pm (UTC)From:Following Ell’s instructions, she became her black mist form and slipped through the cracks in the wall. When she rematerialized and took her on her normal form, Carmilla could have gasped what she was seeing. “It’s beautiful Ell.” Her words slightly echoed as she walked up to the astrolabe. Her fingers reached out touch but pulled back at the very last moment. She knew better than that. “The seal. Is this real?” She couldn’t stand to look at it and turned back to stare at Ell. The last time Carmilla had been near a seal was the time Laura had her heart ripped out.
She wandered out towards one of the doors. The door that would be in the ten ’o’clock position from where Ell was standing. “Show me your favourite room?” She looked back over her shoulder with the same sly smirk Mircalla had. “Please?”

Right now I'm using it as one of the many anti-theft devices round the vault." And with that she put a pair of dark glasses onto Carmilla, and although the light was still beautiful it no longer had quite the same hold on her.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-11 10:32 pm (UTC)From:She hadn’t come across LaF and Perry in this world yet but the ones from Laura and hers world would love it. Suddenly Carmilla wondered if they were still in their living room back home.
“You’ve shown this to Mircalla?”
no subject
Date: 2018-02-12 11:14 pm (UTC)From:Ell's eyes widened and she tilted her head. "Mircalla! What did Laura do to her?" And she turned into a mist in front of Carmilla's eyes, sliding towards the way Carmilla came in.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-13 10:20 am (UTC)From:She had heard the scream from Mircalla and recognised instantly what it was as she too had the same scream. “We’ll they’re having fun.” Carm muttered, shutting down the fake anglerfish light and venturing for a closer look to the doors.
Ell had said that Mircalla comes down here. She wouldn’t have settled for twelve sealed vault doors. Carmilla knew herself too much for that. There had to be something more. She put herself in the mind-set before she met Laura and was working for her mother then tried to put herself in Mircalla’s shoes. Round and round she went playing spot the difference between the patterns and designs until one of them stood out from the rest. It was something so subtle but the design of one door was different. The gold vines had barely any leaves in comparison to the rest, something you wouldn’t notice unless you looked for it.
As if it recognised her the second Carmilla got closer to the door a scanner unlocked itself and slide out the stone brickwork. She placed her hand full on the reader and instead of swinging open with the old fashioned style that it looked, it slid up silently and the corridor was bright with more modern style lights. It was without a doubt, Carmilla’s style.
The closer she got to the end of the corridor the more she knew what was going to be the other side and when the lights kicked in Carm’s breath caught in her throat. Yes, it was a torture chamber but the equipment and style were everything to her liking if not more. There were even devices she hadn’t seen before which was extremely rare to say the least. Mircalla had everything. She spent so long staring at the toys that she didn’t notice LaF and Perry were handing by their wrists, gagged and blindfolded against the wall.
Years ago Carm wouldn’t have cared but as they were Laura’s friends and had spent more time supporting their relationship and being there, Carm had grown fond of them. Not that she would ever admit that. “LaFontaine! Perry!” She ran over and was shocked to see the amount of cuts and bruises on the two of them. “How long have you both been here?” She asked, while removing the gag from their mouths and pulling off the blindfold.
Instead of answering LaF winced at looked at Carmilla with complete fear. Perry cursed something about a demon and tried to kick Carm in the leg. Unfortunately Mircalla had also secured shackles to their ankles so Perry’s reflex reaction didn’t get her far.
“I’m not Mircalla!” Carm held her hands out in surrender. “This is going to sound crazy but I’m Carmilla. I’m from a different universe but I’m not going to hurt you. Laura and I got here through a portal in the library.”
------------
Mircalla thought Laura was done with her but the final blow of saying ‘good girl’ tipped her once again over the edge. She thought the clicking of the fingers or the words might have stayed in the dream but Laura had clearly conditioned them to work in reality. As a result, she was left trembling and awake while Laura drifted off to sleep.
Aware that her screams must have brought the campus down, Mircalla waited till she had feeling some feeling back in her legs and slid out the bed. She flicked the lights on dim so she didn’t wake Laura and searched for her robe, unaware of the black mist taking form behind her.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-13 02:24 pm (UTC)From:Perry, slightly sharper, cut in. "We've been down here for eleven years. Not always chained to the wall, of course." And the pair of them did look well fed at the very least, even if they were even paler than they were in Carmilla's world. "Could you get LaF down please? And tell me as you're doing it?"
-------
"Mircalla?" Ell's voice behind her was soft and worried, but there were the barest traces of amusement there; Mircalla knew that once Ell found out what had actually happened she wouldn't stop teasing her about this for at least a decade.
"What happened? I mean I expected it to be my double screaming like that.?" She was walking softly towards Mircalla, speaking at a volume that was unlikely to wake Laura even if Mircalla's hearing would pick it up.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-13 07:27 pm (UTC)From:Carmilla did just that and as she searched around the room for the key she started to tell them about Laura’s proposal and how she turned her and was consumed with guilt when Laura turned into something else. That guilt took them through the library which threw them here to find answers Carm was sure was a mistake and library was playing a cruel joke. She unlocked the shackles from their hands and feet and pointed them towards the corridor.
“Do you remember how you got in here because this is my first time and I had to magically enter this place. I don’t know how humans get in or out?” She smirked. “There’s always a back door somewhere right?”
-------
“Had you have joined us earlier you might have heard her screams.” Mircalla tightened the robe around her waist, complimenting her curves. That was her way of saying she missed Ell without having to say the words.
She watched her wife approach and if Mircalla could blush now would have been the time. Instead she covered it as she always did knowing full well Ell and her can see right through one another and spoke in the same low tone. “I played with the gift you gave me.” Mircalla couldn’t looked away from the bed. “But the puppy bites back.”
She wondered if Ell had seen the video or if the camera was still recording and Ell saw her cry out.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-13 07:57 pm (UTC)From:Perry took over. "And that's without the curses waiting for us both that the Vault seal protects us from. The only safe way out would be through the First Seal and losing the curses there. And much as I'd love to mess with a seal it would take more than the two of us."
There was of course no key. But if Carmilla left the torture chamber she'd find a well stocked mad scientists lab, a well stocked witches lab, a kitchen and a bedroom with twin beds with an en suite bathroom. Most things that LaFontaine would need to be happy, and the witch's room was probably Perry's.
-------
Ell stepped forwards with a smile. "Mine." And her arms were round Mircalla even if her tone was amused. "And did you really think a version of me couldn't bite back if you gave her a chance? But I want to hear about what the almost human did to my beautiful maker." Her voice was affectionate, but also amused and she never referred to Mircalla as her maker if she wasn't planning on making Mircalla squirm.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-13 08:53 pm (UTC)From:“This world just keeps getting weirder. I can’t even…” She said, starting to explore around the rooms but keeping within ear shot. “Well at least she looked after you down here.” There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
When she’d finished searching around Carmilla went back to the two of them. “First of all no one is breaking the main seal in the vault. You’ll have to kill me first and that’s not going to happen. Second. I can get out of here just as easy as gliding through a wall so the two of you are going to have to figure a non-destructive way to get out before Mircalla comes down here.
Carmilla then paused and frowned. “Why did they keep you here? There had to be a reason?”
-------
Mircalla and Ell could have the most heated of arguments but the second one of them locked with the other and said ‘mine’ everything melted away. Something Carmilla and Laura had in common. She rested her forehead against Ell’s and a smiled. “Yours.” Calla had to stop herself from purring.
Hands went to Ell’s waist and she bit her lip. She knew Ell wouldn’t let her live this down for a long time. If it was anyone else she would have diverted around the subject. But the second Ell called her ‘her maker’ Mircalla closed her eyes, still biting her lip. “You know how I don’t like losing.”
Mircalla couldn’t describe what had happened or what Laura was in the dream so instead kept her forehead against Ell’s and let her see her memories. It was an embarrassing defeat for Mircalla but she couldn’t hide anything away from her wife.
When the memory was over Mircalla spoke softly. “How many decades will you tease me for this evening?”
no subject
Date: 2018-02-13 09:35 pm (UTC)From:"And why keep us alive?" LaFontaine cut in. "Ell likes us and knows we both create things for her. Mircalla likes stress relief and Ell sets limits. I wish she'd set tighter ones." LaF shivered. "But we were both chained to the wall because someone came through the library and Mircalla wanted to make sure it wasn't because of us. That was you I assume?"
Normally when Mircalla had visited that way she'd pick only one of them and leave the other to clean up.
-------
Ell smirked. "Lots. But the question is how to tease you. Because I could do a pretty good Galadriel of the Borg." Although only in her own mind; she'd have to work out how Laura had managed that bit of trickery. "And we both know how much you love being forced to your knees. Kitten's got more power even than I expected."
Ell then smiled. "Which gives a lot for our researchers. And with luck we might be able to copy it. Also how do you think the kitten should wake up?" Mircalla would however realise that that was a really bad idea.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-14 12:33 pm (UTC)From:She turned her attention to LaF. “Yes. Laura and I came through leaving our LaF and Perry back at our apartment. In our world you two have a successful business, houses in various countries and an apartment not that far from ours you use when you’re home.” Part of Carm wanted to ask if Perry and LaF were an item in this world but that was her own curiosity talking and wasn’t important at this moment in time.
“Perry, can you make a potion or at least something that can turn both you and LaF into mist? If I can get you in the house, I can get you out from there?” It was a long shot but an idea. ~
Carmilla then froze and looked back over to the shackles. “On second thought. I think you two should get back in the chains.” She quickly moved over to the wall and started to prep the chains, ready to put them back in. “Don’t just stand there.”
-------
She shivered at the thought of Ell playing with her dreams. “You know exactly how much I love it.” Mircalla took a moment to steal a kiss. The kind that had her whole heart behind it but also teased in all the right ways. When the kiss ended she playfully nipped Ell’s lip. “Oh you can tease me for centuries but there are plenty of ways I can punish every time you do.”
Mircalla’s didn’t look at the bed to check if Laura was asleep but she had hoped she was. Only because the second Ell was near she couldn’t put up her defences and she didn’t like anyone but Ell seeing that. “Why don’t we leave her to sleep for now?” Her hands thumbs brushed into the curves of Ell’s waist. “We can come back in a few hours and…where did Carmilla go?” Not that Mircalla cared much but she was still the younger version of her after all.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-14 10:01 pm (UTC)From:Perry swallowed. "And yes we had better." And she was busy getting into the chains. "Gag us and blindfold us please?" Of course she wanted to find out how Mircalla would react, and knew that LaF was observing and taking mental notes.
--------
"And do I have more ways to tease you, Good Girl?" Ell smirked wickedly, hoping that the trigger would work on Mircalla. Not that she'd overuse it of course. "And how would you punish me?"
She shrugged. "And I left her in the vault when I came up here. You don't think she'll have found them do you?" She was of course referring to LaFerry, but it was clearly Carmilla's first time in the vault and Ell didn't think she was that observant.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-14 10:47 pm (UTC)From:So when the two of them were back in exactly the same position she headed back to the main room and while turning into mist Carm vanished through the stone walls. The same way she came in.
-------
Mircalla thought the words coming from Laura’s lips were bad enough but when Ell spoke them she came so hard her knees buckled and Mircalla had to her wife to try and keep herself standing. The explosion was powerful, so powerful that she almost was squirming with wanting more.
“Ell!” She moaned, feeling her walls pulsing hard. Mircalla bit her lip trying to contain a scream and scowled at her wife. Why was this still working outside the dream? Why was it suddenly worse? Her mind couldn’t think about the answers; only how much she was going to regret seeing Ell’s wicked smirk when she realised she could do this. She had to pause to catch her breath dreading Ell now on a power trip. “Sweetheart you so much as whisper those words again and I’m going to lose it and if I do…” She leant in and whispered in Laura’s ear. “I’m going to take you so hard and I won’t stop. I won’t stop until you experience exactly how it feels to be controlled like this.”
Suddenly Carmilla being in the vault was the last thing on her mind.

no subject
Date: 2018-02-15 06:05 pm (UTC)From:One of the beautiful things about Ell being a vampire was her ability to turn into mist, much like Mircalla. It meant that when the two of them joined as long as both of them opened themselves, one could teleport the other. And that’s exactly what happened. Mircalla held onto Ell and in a split second they had left Laura sound asleep in their play room and materialised at the other end of the mansion. The end with their room that Carmilla or Laura had not yet discovered.
The decor was a blend of the two of them if not leaning slightly towards the lighter colours Ell loved. At first Mircalla didn’t like the idea of white sheets on their bed but it didn’t take much for Ell to convince her otherwise.
“Better?” Mircalla had them appear at the foot of the bed. The thin white sheets that hung around the frame of the four poster bed parted as she gently pushed Ell back. She loved being on top and already was thinking of ways to break Laura’s conditioning. “All mine.” She smirked and as Mircalla kissed her she purposely teased grind between her legs. Mircalla was toying with the idea of entering Ell’s mind. It depends how much Ell teased her about early but she wasn’t about to be defeated twice in one day.

Date: 2018-02-15 07:12 pm (UTC)From:Of course if Mircalla chose 'Fuck now' Ell would say "You made a promise earlier? Good girl!"
no subject
Date: 2018-02-15 09:57 pm (UTC)From:As much as Mircalla loved being made helpless, after the defeat earlier she was determined more than ever to not let that happen again. Pent up and already wet, she pinched Ell’s nipples again and moved her kisses down towards her chest. She barely got a few seconds of her tongue teasing her breasts as the second she bit to torment Ell said those words that pushes Mircalla over the edge.
She came so hard on top of Ell that she grabbed and nearly ripped the sheets either side of her loves head. Wave after wave was hitting till her walls were trembling so hard that Ell could probably feel them through their grinding. “ELL!” She screamed refusing to move from on top but clearly breaking under those words. “Fuck me…do it now…now!” She gasped and writhed, trying to open the beside draw with one hand to see if Ell had left a toy in there and when Mircalla couldn’t comprehend how to open it she grabbed Ell’s hand and placed it between her legs.
Of course she wanted Ell to catch one of the waves because the second Mircalla gained a train of thought Ell was going to regret every time she said the word ‘Good Girl’
no subject
Date: 2018-02-16 02:16 am (UTC)From:And she rolled Mircalla onto her back, kissing her deeply as she simply slid all four fingers inside her lover, hand pistoning as she stretched her out and fingers clawed round searching. She loved watching Mircalla come apart every bit as she loved the love of her unlife taking control. And she'd be deliciously pissed off right now.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-16 11:03 pm (UTC)From:“There…right there..” Mircalla locked her legs around Ell’s waist, back arching and causing her to press her breast into her love. When the waves gave way for a little coherent thought she pulled Ell down, lips crashing together in a heated kiss.
“My turn.” Mircalla whispered when the kiss broke and focused all her body weight in shifting back up on top. Like predators, playing with one another she loved it when they danced for dominance. Mircalla then slipped off the end of the bed and pulled Ell to the edge. There was a playful pout as she let her fingers see how wet Ell was her. That pout turned quickly into a smile and while her fingers tempted, Mircalla’s leant between her legs and let her tongue turned on the pressure.
While she found a rhythm Mircalla altered the room around them. The walls fell down as if they were made of card until only them and the bed remained. She started to play on the inside as well as the out, now trying to show her wife exactly how she felt.
And suddenly there were two of them. A mirror of herself sitting behind Ell running her hands slowly up her sides and starting work at her breasts, pinching her nipples after time she made a noise.
The Mircalla sitting behind smirked. “The more noises you make the worst it will get.”
no subject
Date: 2018-02-17 04:39 pm (UTC)From:In response to the Mircalla behind her's comments her reply was low and teasing as she writhed under the real and illusionary assault. "Is that supposed to encourage me to be quiet?"
Part of her of course wondered what Mircalla would do in response to her actually talking when she'd been told to keep quiet.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-18 11:47 pm (UTC)From:She could feel the pressure building. Mircalla wanted to use so many toys and tricks but being alone with Ell was all she needed right now. And by the way Mircalla deepened the kiss, Ell would be able to tell just how much her wife wanted her. She grinded, tormented and pulled away the most pleasurable moments just to tease.
-----
Carmilla entered the room expecting to find Mircalla and Laura curled up in bed. Thankfully and much to her liking, Mircalla was nowhere to be seen and Laura was fast asleep still looking exhausted from everything she had been through earlier. She knew Mircalla would try and enter Laura’s dreams and wondered how it went but at the same time didn’t want to ask.
Making sure she was alright, Carm walked over and stroked her fiancés cheek, brushing some of her hair out her face. “Now if I was the bitchier version of me where would I go?” Of course she wasn’t expecting Laura to answer.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-19 07:21 pm (UTC)From:"God..." Ell writhed, knowing that her wife could have already driven her over if she'd wanted to but was feeling cruel right now. Not that Ell minded in the slightest or she wouldn't have provoked her earlier.
no subject
Date: 2018-02-19 08:10 pm (UTC)From:The second Ell spoke Mircalla caught her lips in a kiss again and felt that shiver sending a wave of goose bumps across her skin. She was lapping up the not only how wet Ell was but how her body moved with her, legs parting and arching for more than she was willing to give at the moment. It wasn’t until their kisses broke that Mircalla moved her attention to her loves breast, fangs piercing two hot pin pricks of pleasure right above the nipple. Her favourite spot to feed.
When satisfied she Ell would come at any moment Mircalla left sucking and nipping playfully at her breast to move back up to Ell’s face. “All mine.” She whispered, fingers teasing faster, pushing harder. As soon as Ell’s first orgasm would hit Mircalla was already planning new creative ways for the next dozen.
