Thank you those three peoples who reviewed. Guess what? It's snowing in Texas. Yes, I live in Texas. No school. Silent happy dance. I just wish it would snow tomorrow so I could miss two tests. Now that would be perfect timing. Anyway, since I got reviews, here is the next chapter.

"Why, hello sweetheart." Mr. McHenry continued. "So nice of you to join our little party here.

He looked over at Cammie's Mom.

"Don't you dare touch my Mom" Cammie said in her most warning voice.

"Awe, how sweet. Mommy's little princess is going to save the day"

"Don't call me that"

"How precious. Mommy's little princess has an attitude today"

At this point Cammie was mad not only that Mr. McHenry was the villain behind this, but that he was calling her "Princess"

Everyone knew that Cammie hates being called princess.

She prefers a more grown up and daring name like…. Not princess.

Macey hadn't said a word since they entered the little nook where Cammie's Mom and Mr. McHenry were.

Now Cammie knew why Macey was so distressed.

"You knew all along" Cammie found herself saying out loud to Macey.

Immediately she regretted it.

There was nothing that Macey could have done to stop her Father.

But she could have at least told them.

Cammie was a slight bit upset with her.

But she had to get over it because Cammie had to save her Mother, that she didn't even know was alive.

Mr. McHenry seemed to read her thoughts.

"Yes, I know Cammie. It's me. I guess my daughter didn't tell you."

Macey looked really guilty and was standing away from the rest of them.

Mr. McHenry continued, "Your Mother is not dead, simply unconscious from some pills I gave her"

"How long will she be asleep?" Cammie questioned.

"Oh… four hours"

"FOUR HOURS!" Bex exclaimed

Mr. McHenry ginned even wider.

Seeming very proud of ticking all the girls off.

Macey talked for the first time, "Dad, how could you?"

"Sweetie, you knew all along"

"I told you not to go this far. And did you listen to me? No, you never listen to me, never!"

"Now, sweetheart, let's not overreact. I do this all the time. How is this any different"

"I know about your frequent business of killing innocent people, but this is too much. This is my best friend's Mother. She's all Cammie has. You wouldn't dare…"

Mr. McHenry pulled out a gun from his pocket and held it up to Cammie's Mother's unconscious face.

"Try me" he said in a voice that made even Cammie shiver.

But Cammie wasn't about to give up now.

She was so close to rescuing her Mom.

Suddenly a question popped up in her mind.

"Why did you want me to come rescue my Mom? Why did you send out that message that said if I don't come she is going to die? What do you want with me?"

"I don't want you Mother, I want you"

"Why?"

"Because you know a lot more than your Mom. You know the best ways into Blackthorne. You know all the secret passages through Gallagher Academy. You know people who would be willing to join my side."

"Never, will I join your side"

"Oh yeah. Maybe this will change your mind"

He pushed a little blue button that was on the wall and insantally the wall that Cammie thought was a dead end sprang back and there was a tiger.

Wait, not one tiger, three.

Bex gasped and Macey screamed.

Cammie just stared at the tigers and her helpless Mother.

Cammie would never be able to kill these tigers, not in a million years.

I know there just cats, but then she looked at their fangs and their claws.

Then she noticed their ribs showing very vividly.

"Great." She thought, "more motivation for them to eat us alive"

Mr. McHenry said, "I'll make you a deal. I'll let your Mother and three friends leave campus safely on one condition."

"Anything, anything" Cammie said, feeling like she was begging from a ruthless villain.

Which, technically she was.

He continued, "You stay behind, forever"

La la la. This is so exciting. It sounds silly, but it's so fun ending these chapters at a moment of pure cliffhanger. I'm sorry, but it makes for a good story. Really, you should review. Don't leave it to other people. All you have to do is click the little button and type good chapter. It's not hard at all. It won't take more than thirty seconds. If I don't get five reviews than the next chapter isn't going to be published for at least one week. I know it's harsh, but I need to know there are more than three people out there that read my story.
