Chapter 24

Getting Away

Zach's POV

I watched, stunned, as Cammie screamed at Liz. I guess all the stress from the last few weeks had finally catched up with her and her body couldn't handle it.

I swore badly in Farsi when Cammie turned and sprinted out of the hall.

"FOLLOW HER!" Solomon yelled.

I didn't need to be told twice as I was already out of my seat following her quickly out into the corridors. I noticed vaguely that Liz, Solomon and Headmistress Morgan were running right behind me.

I stopped and went to slip behind the Gallagher Family Tree, thinking that it would be the easiest way for her to exit the building but Liz stopped me by grabbing me by the collar and dragging me along behind her.

"What the hell Liz?" I yelled, trying to break out of her grasp but for a small girl, she had a strong grip.

"To obvious," She gasped, slightly breathless from the run. "She would have known that one of us would think that she was going to go down that path but I think she actually went to our room this time."

"Ok then can you let go of me now?" I asked, "I can run for myself."

"Oh right, sorry." Liz quickly let go of my collar.

Within no time we were outside the door. Liz quickly unlocked the door.

The sound of the shower could be heard throughout the room. I immediately knew that it was acting as a distraction, she wouldn't have done what she said she was going to do. I knew my Gallagher Girl, she would be trying to get out.

Solomon raced to the door and yelled, "Cameron Morgan, if you are really in there, move away from the door now!" He waited a second before kicking the door down.

"The vent!" Headmistress Morgan yelled.

Liz darted around Solomon and immediately pulled it open before climbing in.

"She can't have gotten that far," Liz called back. "We weren't that far behind her."

The rest of us climbed into the vent with Solomon following on at the back.

We followed the vent for over ten minutes before arriving at the exit which was conveniently located right near the gate.

"There is no sign of her!" Miss Morgan cried. "She must have gone a different way!"

"Its alright Rachel, we will find her," Solomon said.

Suddenly I remembered what I had told my 'Master' a few weeks ago.

"WE HAVE TO GO! THE CIRCLE OF CAVAN IS IN TOWN!" I screamed.

Thankfully they didn't question how I knew.

Without another word the four of us sprinted as fast as we could into the town.

Cammie's POV

I quickly continued my way along my secret passageway, while the vent they are taking will only take them to just near the gates of Gallagher Academy, within a few moments my passageway would get me to just outside town, giving me a massive head start.

I pushed the concealed hatch up and took a quick look around before jumping out.

I was thankful that I had thought to change before I left the school. Because it seemed like I had once again walked into the middle of a town fair. The streets were closed off to cars and the entire town was crowding the streets.

PERFECT!

I joined in with a group of giggling girls who were perving on the boy in the dunk tank, if I was being honest, he was pretty cute, his wet top was clinging to him and showed of his chest, which was remarkably toned for a young country kid.

I stopped to by a corn dog and continued to scan the streets looking for anyone following me. Not that I was worried or anything, it would probably only be Zach, my mom and Solomon. I wasn't really worried about them finding me because I have managed to hide effectively from them many times without even meaning to.

If only I knew at the time there were a few more people following me that were not looking out for my safety.

I wandered around for another couple of hours before anything went seriously wrong.

I noticed a man standing near the dunk tank, wearing a blue jacket and a red cap, nothing seemed out of the ordinary about him except for the fact that less than half an hour ago I had seem the same man except wearing a grey jacket, black cap and a beard.

I turned in the opposite direction and looked in a store window to see him slowly following me.

"Chameleon here," I whispered, "I need backup, I have a tail, wearing a blue jacket and a red cap."

But then I remembered the necklace I was wearinf was in fact just a necklace and there was no Gallagher Girls out here watching and protecting me.

I was royally screwed.

I looked behind me to see the man walking faster trying to keep me within his sights, not caring if I spotted him, just wanting to stay close.

I started to run, really regretting running out like I did.

I ducked into the closest store, realising as I did that it was the Abrams Family Pharmacy.

I quickly ran through and slipped out the back door.

I though I was safe.

I should have known not to let my guard down.

Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me.

Before I could react I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.

I tried to fight back at the hands grabbing me but black spots were starting to cover my vision and a hand pressed a rag to my mouth covered in chemicals that made it harder to think.

I tried my hardest but with another blow to the back of my head, everything went black.

Before I fully lost consciousness I heard someone screaming my name.
