They know who we are, what we are, and why we are what we truly are.

Cammie,

On the disk you will see live footage of your loved ones. Let this be proof that we can and will strike at any given moment. Unless you do as we say.

Push the others away, turn yourself in two days from now at the place we first met, and no one gets hurt.

The Circle

Oh great, this again. Surely enough, their leverage checked out. As if taking my dad away from me, attempting to kidnap me on a roof in Boston (well at the time we thought Macey was their target), and nearly killing my aunt wasn't enough, now they are threatening them all again.

A/N: Cammie never ran away yet

But I could never let them hurt my friends and family, yet leaving them would probably also hurt them. Eventually they would get over me, but not death and torture scars. Well that's final then, I will protect them. Either way they would get hurt in one way or another, so I decide to make it impermanent.

Third Person's POV

Cammie's three roommates were just sitting around doing their homework that they got for the day when Cammie walked in.

"Hey Cam, want to snoop on some boys?" asked Bex with a mischievous grin on her face.

The Blackthorne boys were back again for another semester until the summer break. Bex thought this would be the perfect time to check them out.

"No." Cammie replied. However her roommates could tell immediately something was off. Her voice was emotionless and she walked without her typical bounce. Upon a more thorough inspection they could see her makeup was damaged and she had slightly red eyes.

"Cammie, what's wrong?" voiced little Lizzy.

It took all her strength to not waver when she replied with the expression, "Nothing, just leave me alone."

The three roommates knew that in this state, Cammie would not be giving away anything, so they obliged to her demand. If they stayed for one extra minute, they would have noticed their best friend's mask crumble and sobs escape her. But they didn't.

They didn't push her, didn't follow her, and left her be.

It would come as good practice for the future, but they didn't know.
