Facing the PastChapter Seven

**The story will be over by chapter ten or eleven. I'm trying to come up with ideas for my next story. I was thinking of another Kristin one but I wanna know if y'all are sick of them. If you are, would it be alright if I included her in my next story? Cuz ya know..Since i'm young, and so is Kristin it's easier to write about. Since I turned 14, I'll prolly make her 14 now instead of 12 or 13. SHe's kinda growing up wit me ^.^ oh yeah and if you're going straight to this chapter, please go back and re-read chapter 6 because I replaced it wiht a new, longer,ebtter version. I think ff.net messed it up.

Oh yeah! Did you guys hear?! Higher Ground is coming back! I think it's just rerunning season one but that's still great and who knows-maybe season 2 will come around! It's suppose to eb starting in September on the TV Station WAM! which is part of hte STARZ! package. I have it, but you prolly have to order it unless you have all those satelitte packages.**

Callahan ran to where he thought he saw the figure drag Cameron. He was so close now-he couldn't let whoever this bitch is get his brother away again.

"Cameron! Scream if you hear me!" Callahan screamed as he ran deeper into the woods. He paused for a minute, partly because he needed to catch his breath and partly because he needed to hear in case Cam screamed.

He soon heard it, the unmistakable, high-pitched scream of Cameron. However he could tell this wasn't because of Cal's command, but it was a scream of pain. He ran towards it, and soon saw a small cabin. It had been there for awhile, so Cal knew that Cameron and whoever had him couldn't have been here the whole time.

Callahan looked into a small, rusting window and saw Cameron tied up and getting slapped and punched by some guy. It wasn't who Cal thought had taken him...It looked like his Uncle Ralph.

"No! Uncle Ralph-stop!" Callahan yelled and ran into the small, wooden, rotting cabin. Ralph turned around and stopped hitting Cam. "What the hell are you doing here?! When your mom said you were sent to a school I figured some boarding school for one of their perfect, handsome children, not a nutty school!" Ralph sneered and winked.

"What are you doing with him?" Cal demanded angrily, "where has he been?" Ralph rolled his eyes. "I got bored and decided to kidnap one of my wonderful brother's kids," he sarcastically answered, "or..I'm sick of your perfect damn family. And everyone thinks my brother and his family is so wonderful. Ha...Bet they're not thinking the Dawson's are so perfect now. My brother was so irresponsible he lost one of his kids. Like a little dog!"

Callahan stared in horror at Ralph. He had rarely seen him because his father and Ralph did not get along, at all. Ralph had had one daughter with a wife, but his wife has took her and fled after she found out that Ralph had abused her. Ever since, Ralph had eyed all of his siblings' kids, but especially his older brother's perfect family. "Four perfect sons. With one missing, though, everyone saw them fall apart. No one suspected the loner in the back row." Ralph mused.

Cal couldn't believe how much Ralph had changed. He had gone from being just as handsome as Cal's father to a..slob. His beer billy spilled over his shorts and his usually clean-shaven face was rugged and hairy. His head covered in thick, brown and gray hairs. Cameron had also changed. His short, light brown/blondish hair was just below his ears-now shaggy,.

Ralph grinned. It was an evil, calculating grin. "I didn't think that I'd be able to finish off TWO brothers. This is a bonus..I didn't think that you'd be here. I just brought my little prize up here because I didn't think anyone would be looking in Canada for the little runt. Damn, I was wrong."

Then, he took out a .22 black calibur. "Say good-bye!" and he pulled the trigger.

Just as Cal dropped, so did Ralph.
