Camilla Zoophobia Novels & Stories

"Camilla, are you there? Can you hear me?" Camilla nodded, her voice breaking as she replied, "Yes…I'm there." Dr. Blackwell's tone was gentle and encouraging. "Take a moment to look around you, Camilla. What do you see?" Camilla took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. She responded, her voice filled with uncertainty, "Nothing... just..." Suddenly, she gasped in fear, her breathing quickening, and shudders running through her body. Dr. Blackwell once again observed Camilla's changed behavior, but this time the fear she displayed was significantly more intense, evident by her visible trembling.

She looked up, her dark eyes wide, the placid mask she usually wore finally showing a hairline fracture of fear. “Truth or Dare, Camilla?” Zoe asked, her voice sweet as poisoned honey. Camilla’s lips parted, but no sound came out. She looked around the circle, but found no sanctuary. Cassie watched, a silent sphinx. Evelyn looked bored. Rosie was staring at her own hands. The men were all predators now, waiting for the next piece of meat to be thrown into the ring. “Dare,” Camilla finally whispered, the word a surrender.

When is all this going to end? The torture, the fear, the pain.. when? … Camilla was busy playing with Zoey that evening. Damon was at the study, handling some of Logan's work. "I win again aunt. You're so bad at this game" Zoey chimed, clapping in excitement. Camilla sighed. She wasn't losing on purpose, she was bad at board games. "Let's play again" Zoey demanded. "Do we have to? I'm exhausted" Camilla said, yawning. Her phone rang and she picked it up from the sofa. It was an unknown number.

Samuel noticed her nervousness as she looked around, he knew that in a matter of seconds she will climb inside the car without him lifting his fingers. The damn woman was so cute looking confused. “You are afraid” he said “I am not” Camila denied but the lightning made her jump with fright and Samuel chuckled sarcastically. Camila had always feared rainfall and storm, really she couldn’t stand the lightning. Once she had seen some one being struck by the lightning when she was young and it stuck on her head. She could never forget that day.

Camilla is a fast learner when it comes to new words. "She doesn't know what she's talking about, does she?" I ask Zack as I tickle him. He giggles and tries to get down. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, just like his mom. I put him on his wobbly legs and he walks toward Jessi and Camilla. If I had to guess, I would say Zach and Camilla are mates. It's too soon to tell, but that little pup has it bad for her.
