A/N: Just wrote the action/ending scene to the story and I'm really excited about it. I think it turned out great now I just have to write all the chapters in-between…

Chapter 14: Late Video

"Zach…"

The voice sounded foreign to my ears yet somehow I knew it was my own.

"Gallagher Girl…"

I felt a smile spread across my lips. Everything felt strange and light while at the same time tight and heavy. Then the scream came out that had been building up in the back of my throat, but I wasn't in any pain. I didn't understand it, but I didn't care.

Something soft and silky came up from behind me. It felt so cool and inviting.

My eyes were open, I could feel it, but there was nothing in my sight but bright lights. I could feel myself breathing heavily. Then there was a faint touch on the side of my face, like a breath.

I looked over and blinked as my vision started to clear, the blinding light fading. There was a silhouette of a person by me that was all I could see for the moment.

But I could feel their breath against my cheek which sent a pleasing chill down my spine. I closed my eyes savoring every touch as I felt something incredibly warm and solid against my cheek.

"I love you Cameron. Remember?"

I opened my eyes to be met directly with Zach's emerald green gaze.

"What?" I asked, my voice still sounding unfamiliar and winded.

His eyes became serious, a smile no longer on his face. "Remember, Cameron? Do you remember?"

"Remember…remember what?" Nothing felt pleasurable anymore. Everything seemed suddenly cold as if the temperature of the room was turned down tremendously. Behind me it turned from silky smooth to cold steel. I could almost see my breath. "Zach…" I choked out. There was a strange poking feeling against the back of my neck. "Zach, I'm scared. I don't know what to do? I don't know how to stop it?" The tears were building up in my eyes as Zach's fingers grazed my cheeks.

He hovered over me—no longer by my side—and was staring down at me with a stern, caring gaze. "Remember Cammie, you need to remember." He bent down and I felt his lips upon mine.

I savored every moment of it loving the feel before he backed out. I missed the warmth immediately.

"I think…."

I woke with a start, feeling dizzy and blinded by the light for twenty two seconds.

Yawning I shook my head and stood up walking straight over to the mirror. Seeing the sight of myself I immediately took a step backwards. I looked…flushed.

My hand immediately went to my cheek and it felt incredibly warm.

Then I remembered I had a dream, a strange dream. I closed my eyes trying to remember. I remembered the feeling of being out of breath—had I been in a race? Then I remembered Zach's face and he was telling me something. He was also…kissing me.

I touched my lips still feeling the memory of the dream kiss. They had been so soft, so enticing. Had I been having a memory, possibly?

I wasn't sure. The dream was so vague to me now.

Shaking my head at the thought I started getting ready for the day. This day brought a long-awaiting guest to the door—well more specifically Macey brought the guest.

"Liz," I shouted running up to my friend and wrapping her small body up in a hug.

She was the one who looked the most like she did as a teenager. Still shy and clumsy and I was pretty sure she hadn't grown an inch. Regardless there was still something about her that did change from age but I couldn't figure out what it was.

"I'm sorry I couldn't see you until now. I'm really sorry I didn't keep my promise," Liz told me softly through the hug.

I pulled back confused as Liz looked guilty. "What do mean keep your promise?"

While kicking imaginary dirt Liz answered, "Before you lost your memory you asked me to show you a video as quickly as possible. You made me promise to show you it with the max of it being four days late. It had to do with Mr. Jacobson, about what happened and why that's what you told me." She looked up at me with sad eyes. "But I've been so busy and tired with Mr. Jacobson making me work overtime. All that's been on my mind are numbers and so I…uh…I forget about the video until yesterday. I'm sorry, really, for not keeping the promise. It sounded important and…" She would have kept going on like that had I not stopped her.

"Liz, calm down," I said grabbing her hands stopping her jammer. "I know and I understand that you didn't mean to break your promise. And you know I'm sure its fine that it happened. Mr. Jacobson hasn't done anything to me yet so maybe it's just me telling myself what he might do or like you said why this happened." I gave a quick glance at Macey. "Although I already have a faint idea of what it is. Anyway, better late than never, right?"

Liz nodded looking extremely relieved and with that we talked for a few minutes before heading over to Liz's house to watch the video.

When we reached the end of the hall I distantly heard the phone ring from inside the apartment.

I had a feeling I knew who it was as I looked back over my shoulder at the front door.

"Cammie if—?"

"No, there's no need Liz, the machine will get it. It can wait a few hours."

We arrived at Liz's very spacious apartment in twenty minutes. It was small and cozy but luxurious and certainly modern with a lot of technology all over the place.

"I'm sorry about the mess," Liz said in an apologetic tone. "I haven't had time to clean," she added.

Carefully and cautiously I stepped over what looked like a sound board that was torn apart. The apartment was filled with electronics mostly computer related and nearly half of the items weren't together but in pieces on the floor.

Macey was shaking her head looking at the destruction. "Liz, do you really need to tear apart your own property?"

"They're just experiments," Liz replied as she bent down to examine a shelf full of disks. "Now let me see…yes, this is the one." She pulled out one of the disks, glancing at it before turning her attention back over to Macey and me. "This is what you wanted yourself to see." She handed me the disk that suddenly felt like a time bomb and a very heavy one at that. "Do you want to watch it alone?" Liz asked as if sensing my uneasiness.

Flipping it my hands I said, "Well…"

"You told me it might be best if you watched it first by yourself," Liz said looking over at Macey.

"Why?" Macey asked no one in particular before letting out a sigh. "Fine. Let's see the mess you have in your bedroom. You better still have those clothes I gave you though," Macey stated heading through one of the doors.

Liz bit her lip looking at Macey's retreat before turning attention over to me. "There's the television," she said pointing over to it over at the far end of the wall. "Just slip the disk inside, make sure you're in video mode, and then press play."

The screen flickered and then I was starring at myself adjusting a video camera. So I was recording this video alone as well. I watched myself closely noticing that there was something very different about my presence this time. I looked very tired and very old at twenty-four.

"Alright Cameron, now I'm sure the past few days of this life has probably been confusing and overwhelming for you. And you may or may not have caught on that not everything is making sense and that something is very wrong." My screen version exhaled a sigh. "It is simply because you are right and something is wrong and I wish I could tell you what it is, but I haven't been able to figure it out that far. All I can tell you is that Mr. Jacobson works for the Circle of Cavan along with many of his colleagues and that the Circle of Cavan wants something, something big." There was a pause as I stared hard at the video camera.

"Now you first thought might be a bomb, but that's not it I've checked multiple times. But I think it is something like a bomb that it is something designed to destroy and that it is technologically based. In fact it is the next step in technology, I think. However, I don't think what they want is designed to kill exactly. I can't explain it, but what I am sure of is that whatever the Circle Cavan wants they can't have it Cameron. If they exceed in obtaining this then I fear they will have a lot of control, there will be a lot of power in the wrong hands. What you need to do is find out what it is they want and destroy it but be careful because I'm sure Mr. Jacobson won't be through with me quite yet."

There was silence as my present self thought over my new mission while my past self just sat there for a few minutes in silence with a look of pure concentration.

"Oh and Cameron…" Looking down at my lap I brushed hair behind my ear. I knew instantly that what I was about to say was major. I looked back up at the camera with a slight, nervous smile on my face. "You're pregnant about five weeks along now. Good luck." The camera was turned off and I blinked rapidly.

No one had been with me watching the video and I was glad for that fact. I practically went into a nervous breakdown as my breathing hitched.

PREGNANT! FIVE WEEKS! Or, wait no, more like seven to eight!

"Oh, oh, oh…baby." I looked down at my stomach and put my hand against it. There was no bulge nothing noticeable, but that wasn't really a good thing was it if I've past the first month already. "I am not ready for this."

And the proof came sooner than expected.

A/N: Not sure how you will react to this chapter, so it will be interesting to see. Review!
