Zach POV

"Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart." With the last line of our final song, the crowd burst into applause, screaming and cheering, begging for more. I looked at Cammie and saw that her hands were shaking and she looked as if she was going to pass out or throw up. She smiled and stood up, grabbing my hand so we could bow and get off stage.

Offstage Cammie ran as fast as she could out of the building. In utter shock, I dropped the guitar and ran after her.

While I was running I heard the Emcee say, "That was Cassie Miller and Zachary Gabriel, our last act of the night!" I stopped short. What? We were the last act? "And now, our judges will announce tonight's winner…. And it's.. Oh my God! Cassie and Zach! Come on out here kids!"

I looked around, half hoping Cammie would appear at my side to go out with me, but I knew it wouldn't happen. With that hope long gone, I took a deep breath and walked out on stage to face the crowd alone.

Cammie POV

In the middle of our last song, it dawned on me. On top of my perpetual fear of performance, I finally figured out the secret of the Guardian-Equals. And on top of that, I was almost POSITIVE I knew where Ana was.

The only way I was ever going to see Ana again was if I ran.

I ditched Zach the second we were offstage and started running. I didn't stop until I found what I was looking for.

…

Once inside the building, I tackled a guard and slapped a Napotine patch on his head. I ducked into a seemingly empty room and was met by Ana and two other guards. "ANA!"

"CAM! LOOKOUT!" I did as I was told, and ducked, swung out a leg in a big sweeping motion. I knocked one guard flat on his back, jumped onto his stomach and roundhouse kicked the other guard right in the face. I grabbed another Napotine patch, but Ana beat me to it. She had gotten out of the ropes while I was having fun on my human trampoline.

"Ana, I'm so glad you're ok!" I gushed. "We need to get to the top floor. The bad guys haven't sold anything yet, but they will soon. We need to stop them and then we can get back to the others and finally go home!"

"Cammie… They're in the room next to us." SHIT!

"Then let's go!"

She looked cautiously at me, "We'll need help." She was right. There was NO way we were going to be able to take down an entire terrorist headquarters alone. With that, I took out my cell phone and called Zach.

No answer.

Zach never missed a call before. At least, not when I called him. Why didn't he answer this time? Did he not care? Was he upset that I left him without telling him where I was going? Was he hurt?

"Cam, what's up?" I looked at Ana, puzzled because she did an uncanny impression of Zach. She looked at me, then pointed behind me.

I turned around to see Zach standing there. He did care! I ran and jumped into his arms. He kissed my head and whispered, "Let's go kick some ass!"

I jumped out of his arms, and we started planning.

Thirty seconds later we were in action. Ana and I went to the south door, and Zach (who brought Grant) went around to the north. We got in silently, and by the time someone noticed us, it was too late.

We took down the entire group! I was in awe that we actually did it. Not that I didn't think we could, but I wasn't too sure it would be so easy.

We were about to start tying up the unconscious bad guys when Zach pulled me into the hall.

...

In the hall Zach wordlessly pushed me against the wall and kissed me. This kiss was different from our last kiss. This kiss wasn't "goodbye." It was deep and warm and romantic… Even if we were both sweaty and sore. I wrapped my arms around his neck for the final moments of our embrace. He pulled away, and snaked his arms around my waist.

"Cammie, I have to tell you about the Guardian-Equal. I just can't leave you out of the loop."

"Zach, I know. My dad's dead. They got the confirmation last year. The same time… The same time they got the confirmation about your parents." I started to cry, "Zach I'm so sorry." He hugged me closer as I cried into his shoulder, mourning the loss of our parents.

As soon as my emotions were in check we went back into the room to help Grant and Ana. We were met by every enemy standing around Grant, Ana, Mom, and Solomon. We both stopped dead in our tracks when Solomon said, "You both passed. Let's go home."

Zach POV

"It was all a test? You all left because of a freaking TEST?" That's Macey for you.

"Yeah, we did. Apparently Ms. Morgan and Mr. Solomon wanted Cammie and me to have experience in the field and closure on our parents' whereabouts," I explained.

"It was a nice thought, but they could have just told us," Cammie added.

"But you left me on my own, with a school full of ogling eighth grade boys and immature jealous Gallagher Girls for A TEST?"

Bex lost it, "UGH! YES, MACEY, IT WAS ALL A TEST. GET OVER IT!"

…

What would come next was unknown, we were all just waiting for the next exciting and disappointing event to come our way.

And so, my story ends. It kinda sucks, but I couldn't just leave you guys hanging. I decided to just end it quickly and answer all questions in one disappointingly quick swoop.

Another reason it's horrible is because my computer broke. YES AGAIN! Only this time it was the screen that cracked and I haven't had it for a month :-(

But, this was it. Thanks all you loyal people that probably hate me at this point! I made a promise to myself that if i ever write a story on here again, i will finish it and THEN post it hahaha

Thanks again everyone!

Happily, The Godsister 3
