A Spy is forever

Hey guys, this is my first ever story so please tell me what you think! I won't do this often as I know some of you dislike it but all rights belong to Ally Carter.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1

I sat alone in the halls. Thinking, watching and missing. I missed the Gallagher academy for exceptional young ladies, knowing that no one would ever know how exceptional we are. Yeah I missed the school, the food (Crème Brule and the waffle bar) and don't even get me started on the secret passage ways! But sat there I knew that although it burned down last year, my school was my sisterhood and nothing about that would ever change.

I didn't care that at oxford university I hadn't yet made any friends, No one EVER sees me, but in my trade that's seen as cool, yeah that's right I'm a graduate from a school for spies.

Which is why when the two of the best spies in the world (my mum and stepdad, I still can't believe Mr. Solomon is my stepdad!) calls you in the middle of the night asking you to come on a top secret operation you grab your stuff and go!

I walked calmly through the streets blending in, because when you are a pavement artist you don't you don't hide, no, thats for ammeters, you blend.

I didn't stop until a reached a smooth cold wall. I checked my tail and then ran my hand down it, until I found the loose stone. I twisted it and a laser came down and scanned my retinal image, before the walls separated and I found myself in a small room only to be jumped on by my three best friends in the world, Bex, Macey and Liz,

"Cammie!" they cried

I hadn't seen them for a year, but I didn't realise how much I missed them until then.

"Why am I here? " I asked, I saw the glances that passed between them and knew that whatever it was it was bad.

"It's the circle" Bex said "their back, and they have Amy" I felt sick, the circle was the terrorist group that had, almost kidnapped me twice, kidnapped and tortured me once (yeah tortured) and tried to make WW3 by assassinating the 'king' of Caspia and attempted to murder his daughter (a Gallagher girl (Amy), I almost died for her and I would, happily, again.

It wasn't until then that realised Zach (my boyfriend) was in the room he didn't look at me he didn't give me his usual cocky smile and say hey Gallagher girl like he normally did. "Gallagher girl I'm sorry" he said, staring at his hands, he looked ashamed, and when you bear in mind that he is a trained assassin and spy (a good one) and he looked ashamed! It scared me. "What?" I asked. "that I didn't kill her " he replied. "Who?", but I was afraid I already knew the answer to that "Catherine" he said.

She can't be alive! She was blown up in the fire that destroyed my school! The fire that she started.

"Zach it's not your fault we all thought your mum was dead" Bex said. But Zach wasn't listening he was already making his way up to the balcony. So I followed him.

I reached out for him but he pulled away. "I was stupid, stupid, stupid!" he kicked the chair. "Zach, no one could have known-" he cut me off. " I should have known, I should have known she, wouldn't kill herself, I should have checked!"

"It's ok" I said wrapping my arms round him, "no its not, she tortured you, you almost died…." He said, I had never seen him near tears and I didn't like it, he couldn't do this to himself.

"But I didn't" I replied. "Gallagher girl, you almost died, if-", but he didn't finish that sentence because I was kissing him and his arms were tightening around my waist. I felt safe and for the first time in year I didn't feel alone, I know why because Zach and my best friends are my home.

Chapter 2

We sat in the makeshift Kitchen trying to piece together a plan, I was sat with Zach his arm loosely around my waist, Bex and Macey were sat opposite us and Liz was a the head of the table hacking into the COC (circle of Cavan).

"We're in" she said with a final tap of her computer.

"Where is she?" said Zach

"In the alps, where they kept Cammie" Bex said leaning over Liz's shoulder, I felt Zach's grip tighten around me.

"So" I said "Let's make our way there tomorrow, Macey can you get a private jet to take us to Rome?"

"Sure" said Macey "but why Rome? I thought Amy was being held in the Alps"

"She is" Bex replied for me "but if we do straight there then its easy for them to guess what we are doing"

"Exactly" I said " so Liz can you hack into the docks and get us a boat to the alps, its less traceable"

"On it" said Liz. Zach stood up "right guys, know we have to get some sleep" He turned and smirked at me " see you at four Gallagher girl".

Four! Really. But a least Zach was back to his normal self, well as normal as a spy/assassin can be. I walk down the hall to my room but as I opened the door a rag went over my mouth and I collapsed to the ground to see Catherine staring down at me. "Hello Cammie dear" she said "miss your old friend?"

"Now you are going to write a note for me to your friends and then you are going to come with us, if you don't then you can watch them die" Catherine carried on. I stared up at her steely eyes and knew she wasn't bluffing so I agreed.

The note

Dear Zach,

The circle has me, please don't come after me as I can look after myself and I don't want anyone to get hurt. Tell the others that I went away on another mission and it was need to know, so they don't worry. Don't do anything stupid it's what they want, they won't hurt me, they want you so forget me.

In case I don't see you again, move on and be happy.

~Cammie

The guards dragged me away and I didn't protest and I didn't struggle I knew I was keeping them safe, plus I was going to get Amy back.

I was thrown into the back of a van and bound up, gagged, blindfolded and handcuffed to the seat, jeez they really don't want me to escape, I would of voiced this opinion but I was gagged.

I didn't really think about the amount of hours I was in the van 3:05:47, or the time on the plane 5:57:06 because I already knew where I was going (the alps) and I wanted to concentrate on getting Amy out. But that was all a bit pointless when I got there because I was chained to the wall by my wrists, my feet about 8 inches off the ground. I can tell you now it wasn't a particularly comfortable experience.

Once my blindfold and gag was taken off I saw that I was in a bare room with no window or a light. "Could use with an interior decorator" I quipped to the guard, and he punched me in the stomach before he left the room.

I then made out a figure in the darkness "Cammie is that you?" said the voice, Amy !

"Amy" I gasped, as she ran over "they didn't hurt you did they?" I asked scanning her body.

"No" she said "she wants her son to come and try to rescue me, so she can show him the pain he caused her when he chose to fight against her."

"Zach" I whispered, that's why Catherine took me, she wants Zach.

Chapter 3

When I woke up in the morning I felt rough hands grab me, I checked the room and saw that Amy was asleep, good, I didn't know what they were going to do to me but I didn't want her to see it.

I was dragged into a bright room and tied to a chair, then the door swung open and Catherine sashayed in and stared down at me, "Now Cammie" she said in a dangerously sweet voice "we are just going to ask you for a few favours and then you can be on your way"

I gave her a look of disgust, I had a feeling that her idea of a favour was very different to mine.

"No need to look at me like that dear" she said "I just want you to bring Zachy to his little old mum"

"What will you do if I don't" I quipped. She leaned towards me and drew a small knife, she carved some letters into my forearm, I bit my lip to stop me from crying out. She stepped back and called the guards, I dared to look down at my wrist and saw the words Zach dies cut into my arm forever, in that moment I knew that I could never break, this mission was about to get a whole lot harder.

When the guards came they dug there fingers into my arm, I grimaced at the pain and struggled not to pass out. As they took me back to that room, Catherine called out "bring her back here tomorrow we will see if we can break her."

I closed my eyes at the words that meant torture. The guards tied me back up to the wall, my shackles rubbing against my forearm. Amy ran up to me "Cammie are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little scratch" I saw her eyes widen at the words on my arm.

"Who's Zach?" she said pointing at my arm, "you know the boy that helped us after the incident last year in Roseville" I said, she nodded not taking her eyes off my arm. "Well that's, the evil woman's son, and he betrayed her, so she wants him back"

"Oh" she said, realisation sinking in "is that why you're here?", I nodded , Amy was going to make a great spy." Amy sleep, you need it" I smiled sadly.

"ok" she said.

-"and Amy, we are gunner get out of here" she was, I wasn't but who was I to take away her hope, it was the only thing she had.

2 hours later

I hung in the dark room, I couldn't sleep and I couldn't stop thinking about Zach, his warm arms and cocky smile….. Knowing I would probably never see him again, and I went into a sort of daydream. Shoot!. I snapped my head up.

I heard loud bang and looked up, Amy was gone…
