Chapter 1
Cammie glanced behind her, but never stopped running. The only thing that she could make out was the burning flame of a car explosion. She wanted to cry of relief, but she didn't. Her plan would only work if the Circle bought it. Cammie felt her breath running short, but she couldn't stop. Her flight left in approximately ten minutes and if she were late her associate would leave her behind. She really couldn't push her luck; Henry had only agreed to help her since she had done him a favor a while back.
"Yes," She panted, seeing the helicopter ready for her arrival.
"Get in," The gruff voice of Henry Kells yelled to her before taking off.
She strapped herself up and looked out the window to stare at the scene a few yards to her right.
"Did they buy it?" He asked his strong voice breaking the silence.
"They have too," Was Cammie's only reply obviously signalizing that the conversation was over.
Even though Cammie didn't see it, the old man nodded his head once before resuming his act as the pilot.
Cammie waited a few days before returning to Gallagher and since she needed a place to stay decided to sleep in a motel just outside of Roseville. She needed to make sure that no one suspected that she was alive. She shivered just thinking about the horrible things they did to her when she was captured. The Chameleon would kill herself before she went back there.
"A horrible accident occurred a few days ago just outside of Ohio. A female driver swerved off the road just before the car exploded in flames. Police say that the driver was not able to escape the vehicle in time to save herself, therefore died in the flames." Cammie heard the lady on the news channel say.
She sighed content and went into the kitchen for some tea. It had been three whole months since she had last seen Gallagher. Three whole months since she had, had to leave her friends behind. Of course when she arrived they would be furious, that was to be expected, but how would they react afterwards? Would Zach welcome her back or would she be cast away? She wondered silently for a few more moments before deciding to pack up and go. Two days in a motel room was enough proof that the Circle wasn't after her. She wouldn't be standing there if they hadn't.
Cammie's blue eyes sadly stared out the window. She had to remind herself that people change in a few months. She was not the person that left the great doors of Gallagher Academy three months ago- far from it.
