Chapter 21
CAMMIE POV:
Eventually me and Zach did get some sleep, and are now sitting down at breakfast, we haven't really said much else to eachother since talking about Allison last night. I then heard my phone buzz on the table next to me, I put my toast down and look at the message.
Can I come round?
Liz x
I reply letting her come round, but I wonder what this is about, normally it's not just Liz, there must be something wrong. Zach gives me a questioning look, and I just tell him about the text message, and that probably in about 5 minutes Liz is gonna show up at our door.
I was right, 5 minutes exactly she knocked on our door. "Hey Liz, whats going on?" I ask, closing the door behind her.
"It's Allison. The Circle-"
"How did you know about that?" I at first didn't notice that I had slightly raised my voice, but really I didn't tell the girls, only Zach.
"Oh I kind of hacked the Circles database to see if they were plotting any new schemes against you soon, and well." She paused, clearing her throat. "They have set Allison a mission to obtain you dead or alive" She explained, and I sensed the clear tremble in her voice, she was as afraid as I was about what was going on with my sister.
"She could never hurt me, or even kill me- could she?" I paused, leaning against the wall, strangely loosing all feeling in my legs, I never normally had reactions to situations like this, whats going on?
"Cam, she has been gone years before she came and visited you a few days ago, and she joined the circle in high school, whats to say she hasn't learnt to turn a blind eye at hurting you, or even Gallagher Academy it's self. Shes been gone so long, the Circle could have easily manipulated her with their evil plans, their so cunning like that"
I sigh, stumbling into the living room, Liz behind me, and falling back down onto the couch, taking in what Liz had just told me. . . None of this made any sense, I remember Allison before she went off with the Circle, Abby was never against her, her and mom barely fought, and she would always be with me, teaching me about spy stuff before I even started Gallagher. I never thought it would be that easy for her just to change, even if its the Circle trying to change her, I always knew Al to be strong, like mom, and kinda like me, then again, mom was always my role-model, I had grown up being like her in my own way.
Zach walked in, looking straight at me, his face forming a suspicious but worried expression. He turned to Liz, and she explained everything she had told me in the hallway. He sat down set to me, wrapping an arm around me. "It'll be okay Cam, I won't let her hurt you"
"What!? No Zach! No! She won't hurt me" I had to be alone, I had to get away from all of this, atleast for a while. I pulled away from him, standing up and rushing out of the room, and out the front door. I need to clear my head.
ALLISON POV:
I just sat there staring blankly at the paper infront of me, Obtain dead or alive. Cammie, I can't. I could never hurt her, or even let someone hurt her, the thought of it just makes my blood boil, that someone would want to hurt her. She never really looked for trouble, but as I can see now it turns out trouble found her. I need to help her out of this.
One of Catherines' men walked in, I looked up. Just Spencer. I have known Spencer since I first joined the Circle, were both the same age, and he seems to disagree with Catherine like I do, but we can't argue with her, or we could risk her killing us. I have to tell him whats going on, Spencer has always known what to do in cryptic situations, I just can't my mind around. And, he can meet Cammie.
"Hey Spence, I need your help"
"What ya need Al?" He came over and sat in the chair opposite me, I showed him the misson folder I got from Catherine, then told him about Cammie being my sister, but of course I had to summarise because we don't have time on our hands.
"Okay, I'll help you. But we need to keep this covert, between me and you. But first" He got up, opened the door and looked out checking the corridor, "We have to find a way out without them seeing us" He finished.
I nod, and get up taking the mission folder with me, Catherine will definiately know at one point very soon that we've gone, and if I take this, she'll probably think I've just started my mission, and Spencer is most likely helping. We walk quickly, but quietly down the corridor, to a close by vent shaft, down from the room we were just in. Spencer gets it open, and we crawl in, we crawl through many vent passages, until we hear her oh so painfully familiar, and irritating voice clearly, loudly. We crawl closer, silently, listening in.
"Alright, I want Alpha group to focus more on targets friends, while I and the Major group with find, capture and kill the target. We all prepared?" They all reply, Yes. But Catherine makes one more final comment, "By the end of this, one good thing may happen for one, Cameron Morgan will be finished"
I feel like jumping out of this vent, and tearing her irritating-cackling-screaming-ugly head off, One decent choice I will actually make for one.
CAMMIE POV:
"Cammie! Come back, stop running!" Zach calls after me, we were now running through the forest near our house. I stop and turn around to him, my face stone, expressionless. He stops infront of me, his eyebrows furrowed, he wraps his arms around me, placing his chin on my head, whispering to me, "We must stop running"
Hes right. Thats all I've ever been doing. Running. It's never worked, like when I left on my own in the summer, in high school, and I lost my memory. I can't let anything like that happen again. Especially, when I'm carrying a baby, I can't let Catherine near me. She can't be near anyone. Not even my sister.
