The cell was small, too well-lit and the walls were padded. She was sitting in a corner with her head on her knees and her arms wrapped around her legs. Sarah Connor, the mother of destiny. Her body was constantly rocking back and forth. Sarah was wearing light blue trousers and a white shirt, while her feet were bare.

Cameron watched Sarah through a window in the door; always hoping the woman would lift her head and look at her with recognition. She never did. This was not Sarah’s first stay in a psychiatric ward, only this time she really seemed damaged.

Months passed and nothing changed. But today would be different. Cameron kicked in the door, bursting into the room and went directly over, where Sarah was cowering. The terminator picked her up and into her arms without any effort.

"No!" Sarah screamed, flailing around and spurring into action. “Let go of me. Let me down!” She gripped the hem of Cameron’s shirt and stared fiercely into the terminators eyes. “Please. I can’t… I’m broken.” The last part was barely a whisper. Tears ran down over Sarah’s face.
“You are unbreakable. You are Sarah Connor.” Cameron held the woman in her arms tighter, pressing her harder against her body. It seemed the terminator tried to hold Sarah together, to keep her from falling apart.

April 19th, 2011 was blinking in Cameron’s visual field. Today Skynet was supposed to go online. Judgement Day was only two days away.

The End

Camerah, you've come back to meeeeee :'O !!!

Really interesting visual in this drabble. Brought up way more questions than it provided answers, which is what drabbles are frustratingly great at doing! Lol

I'd love to know what happened months prior that brought Sarah to this.. Knowing this is Terminatorverse, my imagination knows just right where to go...

When I saw the prompt Camerah was the only thing I could think about :) It was nice writing them again after such a long time.
I love drabbles, exactly for the reasons you mentioned. It's great to create an atmosphere, a scene that people can picture in their mind and than they're free to do whatever they want with it. I have the answers in my head, but sometimes it's better and way cooler when people can form their own answers and the story behind the scene.
Now I'm curious where your imagination went... *g*

Something incredibly devastating for Sarah to have given up so completely - and *before* J-Day even...! John's death probably. :'(

yup. that would be a good reason and an understandable explanation for her state =) good example.

Ha! Camerah is unbreakable.

It is great to read something new and I hope you will write more about them.

*g* yeah, nothing can break these two!
it's true, there aren't many new stories out there, it's a dying fandom/pairing :/ I hope too that I'll write more about them =) thank you for commenting!

Sadly, I think you are right. Camerah is dying but as long as some of us remember (and write from time to time)...
