Cammie's POV

Well at least Zach knows I'm not stupid enough to give myself up without a fight. He finishes his little speech and is met with silence while the others process what he said. I decide they've had enough time without sound so I step out of my safe haven and into my mother's office. My roommates stand there gobsmacked, the adults show no emotions, and Zach just stands there with his arms crossed and his annoying smirk plastered on his face.

"Well at least one of you guys had enough faith in me to not be stupid." I tell them accusingly. "Just because I'm no Liz doesn't mean I don't have a brain." With that I glare at my roommates then smile at Zach.

"Oh and I already told the guards there are two men working for the COC handcuffed in a black BMW at the gates. So you might need to check up on that. I now have to go to a CIA base, no I am not telling you which, and fill out some paperwork. You guys were right by the way, it really is incredibly boring."

Upon finishing my update on the "latest news" I head for the heli pad on the roof heading for the CIA.

I'm about to step onto the roof when I hear my roommates rushing towards me.

"CAMMIE!" cries Liz.

Just for the heck of it I stop and turn around with my mask on.

"Cammie would you please listen for a bloody moment?" says the British Bex. Of course, it's not like I'm going somewhere, I say to myself. "Look Cammie, we are incredibly sorry for how we've treated you for the past while. Is there any way we can move on and go to how we were before? I mean before the guys not before the kidnapping and stuff. Which we are really sorry about! W-"

Okay I've had enough rambling. Wow, Bex was rambling because she was nervous. Never thought I would live to see that. I cut her off.

"Okay, okay! Jeez since when did you out of all people ramble, Bex? I got it, sure whatever. But do not expect me to be bubbly and brainless, I have no idea how I managed that before but it won't happen again. And I am not, letting you dress me up McHenry!"

They all nod vigorously and squeeze me in a group hug. Then I am off to CIA HQ for my debriefing and joyful paperwork.

So after I got back the girls and I started to get to know each other again. Today is a town day and the girls insisted that we go out and catch up. I would be excited for this but the thing is going out means dressing up. Dressing up means Macey approved clothing, which staying within my standards, isn't much.

That's how I ended up trapped in our bathroom suite.

I look for an escape route to avoid Macey's version of torture. I may have been tortured by the circle, but a makeover is still horrible! Especially when Macey McHenry is in charge of it!

Bex stands blocking the door, Macey at the window, and Liz at the vent. I have no place to run. The only way I could get out of this would be to fight, but I don't want to hurt my friends.

"Get her." orders Macey. Those words have haunted me ever since we were on the roof in Boston.

They slowly advance towards me, circling me so no escapes are possible. The circle...

"You should have just listened to us in the first place, then you wouldn't have to go through your much desired torture." Bex says evilly. In my mind though, I do not hear her voice. Instead, to me they are spoken by the one and only, Catherine Goode.

I can't help but start to panic. They sound like the Circle, talk like them and are even going to torture me because I didn't listen; just like the circle. I can start to feel a flashback coming up but try to suppress it.

Then because of my unawareness in my panicked state, Macey manages to sneak up behind me and grab my arms while Bex takes my legs. Together they hold me in place and strap me down to the chair by Bex's well done knots. I can't move my limbs anymore.

Glaze covers my eyes as an all too familiar feeling overcomes me. Pain. It is as if my wounds are reopening and I am about to get tortured again. My breathing gets shallow and rapid as someone approaches me. I whimper into my chair in attempt to avoid the torture as much as possible.

"Now tell us, would you like to give up the easy way or the hard way?" asks a voice. I can't place it anymore in the state I am frozen into.

"You guys wait! Something is wrong with her!" someone yells. No duh! I thought I was safe and then this happens! They will probably finish me off this time even if they don't have the information just because I am too much of a liability.

"What are you talk- oh! OH! CAMMIE! Cammie are you okay? Calm down!" a different voice shouts at me. Yah like they would calm down if they were being held captive about to be tortured and most likely killed.

Then the bounds come off and I automatically get into a fighting position. They are not going to get me again. I escaped once, I can do it again!

Yet no one advances on me.

"Cammie! It's us; Macey, Bex and Liz! You're at Gallagher! Please calm down!"

What? This is too much, my head feels like it will soon explode! I back into a corner and drop down, bringing my knees to my chest. Breath in, and out, in, and out. Sadly all that does though is make me hyperventilate.

Then darkness engulfs me.
