CHAPTER 4
A few hours later I woke with a start. I looked at my watch 6:00PM. I got up and pulled the secret book to let me out of the passage and into the library. I walked through the halls following my map until I reached the Great Hall, where dinner was. As I entered everyone looked up. My dad had a worried look on his face and when he saw me he went postal.
"CHARLOTTE MORGAN GOODE WHERE ON EARTH HAVE YOU BEEN WE'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU!" he shouted. I flinched and he immediately looked sorry. I kept my cool though and acted like it didn't bother me.
"Hey. Chill Zachary. I feel asleep in a passageway.
"Told you Zach. Cammie used to do the same thing," said my grandma, a hint of pride in her voice.
"So, I guess this means I won?" I asked Joe
"I guess so. Zach your daughter beat you at your own game," Joe said.
"I'm just that Goode," I replied smirking. Everyone else groaned. I walked over to the table with all my friends and sat down for dinner, starving.
_2 weeks later_
We woke up to the sound of yelling. More specifically my father yelling.
"Rachel it's been two weeks and they haven't found her. I'm going in!" He yelled.
"Zach no, it is forbidden. She manipulates you too easily," My grandmother replies. We all jumped out of bed and ran into the common room where my grandmother and father were standing, on opposite sides of the room glaring at each other.
"Whose 'She'?" asked Alex. I murmured my agreement.
"Your other grandmother," my grandma replied with an icy tone. "Go on Zachary, tell them, or do you plan on lying to them again?"
"My mother, your grandmother, Cassandra Goode. She is the infamous leader of the Circle of Cavan, the terrorist organization who kidnapped your mother. They've been after your mother for years. We thought they had stopped after a while, the attacks calmed down and your mother was safe for a while. Recently we had started hearing chatter through our double agents, sleeper operatives with them. That's why we hadn't told you about this sooner. They were said to have found out about you two. They wanted all four of us. Your mother and I tried to fight them off but they took her. I was her only weakness ever. She never wanted to hurt me that badly, physically, no matter what happened, she was still my mother," my father said, his eyes were dark. "She was dead to me from the moment she went after your mother. But apparently," he said rounding on my grandmother, "she can manipulate me!"
"Zach you know it's always been true, its nothing against you," my grandmother replied, tone soft.
"That's it we are done!" I said. "Alex come on we're going for a walk and if any of you follow us we're gone. Us siblings have some things to discuss." Alex followed me out the door down the corridors and into the grand hall. I stood in front of the door that would lead us outside. I only ment for us to go to the P.E. Barn. We pushed the door open and walked outside. We could hear the thundering footsteps of everyone behind us, trying to stop us. We didn't even make it four feet before we had rags over our heads. I could hear the helicopter and felt my world fade to black. The last thing I heard was my fathers yell.
"Charlie, Alex!" he screamed. "I'll find you if it's the last thing I do." And I believed it.
