Disclaimer: ally carter owns everything I only own the plot and a few characters.

Thank you for those people who reviewed, I love reading what all of you write. Please review after you read so I know that you guys like my story.

Nita pov

That stupid brat. Thinking that she could escape me. She was in the heart of my boat she was never going to escape. And those two boys, arg, how did they even get close enough to her without being seen. After I punish all of them I'm going to get some new security for my boat. However I did recognise the boy to Cameron's right. He had dark hair and green eyes. This must be the boy that was messing around with Cameron by the pool before she was kidnapped. Zach I think. Well Zach and his little friend are going to be punished as well.

"Well hello, Zach I presume. And you must be his friend" I said. Then I turned toward Cameron. "I thought I warned you Cameron. No funny business or else you suffer the consequences."

The guards that were supposed to be checking up on my son finally came behind Cameron and her friends trapping them.

Zach stepped forward and pushed Cameron behind him in a protective way. That was such a sweet gesture. Such shame that I don't like sweet gestures.

"Don't touch her." Zach said. In a forceful tone. How rude.

"Of course Zachary Iwouldn't imagine to touch her. They however will." I said gesturing to the men behind them. Then the guards grabbed Cameron by the arms and tried to take her away. But Zach of course had to attempt to stop her from being taken. He punched one of the guards that were holding Cameron in the mouth. At that point his friend tried to help as well by kicking the other man holding Cameron in the shins. This set off a full on fist fight.

I do not have the time for this, I thought. So I got out my phone and ordered for more backup to come. And within minutes there was a total 6 of my guards in the hallway. All holding down Cameron and Zach. But where is the other boy?

"Where is the other boy?" I asked.

"He was right here Miss but then he disappeared" said one of the guards holding down Zach. He must have disappeared while the fight was happening.

"Well go find him then" I said. And with that 2 of the men went off looking for the other boy.

"Zachary, you should not have done that. I will have to punish you as well. Now let's see, what punishment shall I give you? " I said. Putting my finger to my chin. Then a thought popped into my head. It was so obvious how they both loved each other. I could use that to my advantage.

"Take Zachary here to the bare room. Then put Cameron in the viewing room" I told the guards. Then they were off.

The bare room is what it sounds like. It is literally a bare room with just a chair in the middle of it. But on one wall of the room is a glass pain so that people can see into the room and the person in the room can see out as well. On the other side of that glass pain is a small room. Where people can sit and watch what is going on in the room. Perfect for this little situation.

You might be asking why someone would have that type of room on a boat. Well it comes in handy every now and then.

I then walked after the guards.

Cammie pov

I looked around and noticed that nick wasn't there I hope he's going to get some help.

After Nita told the guards to take us away I got extremely worried. Why would she want Zach in a different room from us. Was she going to do something to him so that she could get to me?

Obviously the worry I felt was showing on my face because Zach managed to get close enough to me so the he could whisper to me without any of the guards hearing.

"Don't worry Gallagher girl, you'll be alright" he whispered.

"I'm not worried about me I'm worried about you. What if they hurt you?" I asked. Still in whispered tones so as not to be heard by the guards.

"I'll be fine, don't worry." He said. In a reassuring tone. God I hope he's right.

Then we came to a door and Zach got shoved into it. And two burley looking guys followed in after him.

I then got shoved into a room next to the one that Zach just got shoved in to.

I looked around and saw that the room was small. On one wall was covered in glass. You could see straight through to the next room. The one Zach was in.

I rushed over to the widow to see Zach being strapped to a chair in the middle of a grey room. He looked up from the floor and looked into my eyes and I looked into his.

Seeing Zach strapped to that chair made my heart skip a beat. And not in a good way. Zach noticed that I looked nervous so he gave me a reassuring smile. I gave him back a small smile in return, but anyone could tell that it was a forced smile.

Then Nita walked into my room. She walked over to me and stood by me.

After a moment of silence she spoke.

"I can tell that you love that boy Cameron." She said. I didn't say anything. I just clung to the jacket that Zach had given me. Hoping that he would be okay.

"He looks like he loves you just as much" she said. I looked at her when she said those words. I hoped that those words were true even if they were coming from her.

Then she signalled to a man in the other room. He walked forward then punched Zach in the face really hard. Blood was pouring down his face.

"No" I screamed. And slammed my hands onto the glass.

Then the man punched Zach again. But this time in the stomach. Zach bent down and groaned. You could see the pain clearly etched on his face.

The man kept hitting Zach in the face or gut. Why would she make me watch this? It was breaking my heart watching him suffer.

"Stop it stops hurting him" I yelled at her. Hoping that she would listen to me.

"Oh but we must Cameron. You see, you disobeyed me. So you must be punished. This is the perfect way to do it. Tormenting you. And it is also teaching Zachary here a lesson as well. In a way we're killing two birds with one stone by doing this" She said with an evil smirk on her face.

I looked back to Zach to see he had been hit more times when I wasn't looking. Blood was down his top and smeared all over his face his head was drooped to the floor. It looked like he barely had the energy to lift it up. Seeing him like that. it shattered my heart.

Zach managed to look up from the floor and stared into my eyes once again. Then he mouthed something to me. I love you.

That made me breaks down in tears. I fell down to the floor. My head in my hands. My whole body shacking. I had just found out that he loved me. Then he got taken away from me and he's being beaten half to death because of me. And I was being made to watch.

"Let him go, I'll do anything you want just let him go" I shouted up at her.

"No Cameron. You must suffer" she said.

And with that sentence I snapped. I jumped up and punched Nita in the face over and over again. I heard a sickening snap, but that didn't stop me from hitting her. She tried to cover her face rom my hits but my fists always found a way to her face. I wasn't acting like myself anymore. I was someone completely different now. It was like I was possessed.

Men tried to pull me off of her but they couldn't because I was always moving and always punching Nita in the face.

Eventually 5 men managed to grab me off of Nita. But she was long gone unconscious maybe even on the verge of dead. But I knew that she wasn't dead, she was still breathing. I looked down at her. Her face a mass of blood just pouring down her face and clothes and dripping onto the floor. My hands were covered in her blood. But I didn't care. I managed to get all of my anger out on her and there was allot of anger seeing the situations that she put me in..

A man ran up to Nita and kneeled down beside her. Lifting her head up into his lap.

Then I got thrown to the floor held down.

"What are we supposed to do now?" I heard one of the men who were holding me down whisper.. You could tell that these men were completely clueless as to what to do without a leader.

As the men were debating on what to do. I managed to move my head so that it was facing the glass wall. I could see that there were no men in Zach's room because of my freak attack on Nita. So no one was hitting him anymore. But he looked like he was on the edge of death. However he did not look as bad as Nita.

I then heard some shouts coming from the hallway and some gun shots. What could be happening.

But before I could find out. I got hoisted up from my spot and turned to face the man that was kneeling by Nita.

"Look what you did." The man said pointing to Nita. "You will pay." He said. Then he grabbed a gun out of his pocket and aimed it at my chest.

Everything started to go into slow motion. I could hear the door behind me burst open. And people shouting and yelling. I tried to move out of the way of the gun but I was too late. You could hear a gunshot sound out. And I fell to the floor in a crumpled heap.

People started rushing in. You could hear shouts of 'police'.

My world was starting to fade and go black. My eyes started to droop. Everything was starting to go silent. But I'm sure there was till allot of noise about, It's just that I couldn't hear it. Then I heard one very familiar voice. I felt like my head was being lifted up. I managed to open my eyes ever so slightly, to see Zach, crying . His tears mixed with blood were falling down onto my face. He was rocking my head back and forth. Muttering something.

I really wanted to tell him something if I didn't survive in case this might be the last chance I get to tell him.

"I love you too" I said. My voice barely above a whisper.

Then my eyes started to get heavy. And I could feel my heartbeat start to slow down.

Then I heard Zach say something

"Stay with me Cammie, please stays with me."

That was the last thing I heard before my entire world collapsed and I went into total darkness.

Please review I really want to know how I did with this chapter. I hope you liked it :)
