Chapter 3
Roof Top
I woke up sitting in a chair, when I tried moving my hands and legs they wouldn't move. They were tied to the chair! My hands were tied behind the chair and a rope went around my chest half and rope held my ankles to the front chair legs. No madder how much I moved the rope just started rubbing my skin giving me rope burn.
Looking around, I noticed I was in a basement, more like a cellar but that's not the point. It was cold and only one light shinning down on me. The floor was cement and the walls dark gray brick. A breeze kept blowing on me and every time I shivered.
Three figures walked into the light where I was. They surrounded me, the two women and the one man. I glared at them and promised myself they would pay for this
"Who the hell are you people?" I hissed through gritted teeth trying to get undone again, I am NOT going to give up this easily
"Cammie, please listen to me," but I growled at Crystal eyes and she looked stressed but do I care? No. "Cameron, I am your mother and you will listen to what I say!" she yelled at me
I stopped struggling and glared at her "Some mother you are." I chuckled and she stepped up but the other woman put her arm out stopping her not taking her eyes off of me
"Rachael please, she doesn't remember anything so let it be." Hazel eyes told and I laughed at her they all looked at me in confusion
"Lets re say your words. The only thing I remember are the words 'You were an accident,' care to explain?" if I could've crossed my legs I would've but of course I can't
Crystal eyes turned pale again and ran out. Hazel eyes looked at me with disgust in her eyes but just smiled at her.
"Come on Joe lets go make sure Rach is okay." he nodded and they ran back into the darkness and up some stairs.
I looked around and got a plan. Quickly I shook off my shoes and slide my feet out of the grip hold of the rope. After that I stood up and backed up as fast as I could into the darkness an hit a wall with so much force that the wooden chair I was sitting in broke.
As fast as I could I undid the rope around my wrists and chest and slid my shoes on. I looked around and searched for something. A door opened and right as steps started rushing own I found and window and started out of it.
Just as I was getting my right leg outside with the rest of my body six pair of hands grabbed my leg. No! I'm almost out! I panicked and kicked when they all let go. As fast as I could, I got to my feet and ran to the house next door.
I banged on the door until a boy that looked my age came to the door. He had dark brown hair and stunning emerald green eyes.
"Come on I saw her go this way!" I heard Hazel eyes yell and I shove the boy out of the way, ran into the dark house, and gently closed the door.
"Hey what the hell you can't just run-" I cut him off by putting my hand over his mouth and putting my index finger to my close mouth to tell him to be quiet. The footsteps outside ran past the house and I waited 20 minutes in counting until I let out a breath of air an removed my hand for his mouth
"Please don't ask." I told him shaking my head and he nodded
"Here come sit down." I followed him to the couch. When we sat down I put my head in my hands as tears fell out of my eyes. My stomach burned of pain and the wrapping around it was squeezing me so tightly I struggled to breath.
"Hey, are you okay?" I felt his hand on my shoulder and my instincts kicked in. I flipped him over my shoulder and over the couch.
"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!" I said acting like I was worried a put fake worry in my eyes so he would think that I really was sorry and I wasn't…
"Nah, it's cool." He sat up and groaned so I jumped over the couch and helped him up back on the couch
"Sorry it's just a thing that's natural for me…I think I can't remember anything. It's all just so confusing! Ugh!" I put my head in my hands again and sighed in anger
"Yeah I know what you mean. Two months ago I woke up here and couldn't remember a thing except for a girl's voice echoing in my head." I looked at him and five words floated through my head along with the first one's I woke up with
"And what were those words?" he looked me in the eyes with no smile on his face
"I love you. I can't remember anything further then that! Whenever I try I get a bad head ache." I nodded in understanding because that's how I felt
"I heard them talking." I said and he looked at me confused so I looked away an at the flat screen T.V. in front of us "They were talking about me." Tears streamed own my face "Believe it or not but I was sleeping and it's not regular you know? It's like a never ending nightmare that you can't get out of." He nodded so I continued and the tears came faster now, the thing that scared me was that I was telling him the truth and the tears weren't sadness they were fear.
"The man was saying how I should be dead." The tears were falling faster and I was struggling to speak "He said it was no use I was going to die, that she should just give up." The lump in my throat grew bigger and bigger "Then there was a doctor, he said I was in a coma but I could never wake up.
"With every word they said pain sprung in my body and I was having a heart attack! Then when I had calmed and the room was quiet a second needle went into my skin. I might have been in a coma but I could still feel and hear.
"It was horrible. 2 months in a coma and I just now remember and the problem is that…it…hurts to try and remember these things…" I held my head as the pain shot through it. I gritted my teeth and held in my screams
There was some kind of wall blocking the thoughts and every time I tried to break it pain would shoot through my whole head making me want to scream and cry. Tears streamed down my face and I heard the boy gasp.
"We need to get you to a hospital!" the boy almost got up but through the red blur in my eyes I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down
"I…don't…need…the…hospital!" I almost didn't get the words out and more tears came as more pain shot through my head
"But you're crying blood! That's not something you see every day!" He tried to get up again but I pulled him back down almost too tired to
"Please," I gasped at the pain "Don't just stay!" I yelled wiping the tears an looking at the red blood on my hands "What have they done to me?" I whispered
Then I froze when I heard a door open and a familiar voice whisper "Cammie, come out come out wherever you are…" and a man stood in the doorway to the kitchen with a steel whip in his left hand and a deathly smile on his face
"Run!" My mind screamed at me. I took the boys hand and ran up the stairs as the man followed us walking in a slow pace still smiling like those creepy killers in the movies
I pulled us into a room and realized it was the boys. He closed the door and locked it and looked at me as I coward on his bed.
"What just happened? Who is that?" he asked me putting his hands on my shoulders I looked up at him and shook my head
"I can't remember but he's bad news! We need to get out of here now!" I crawled to the window and opened it. I knocked the screen off of it an climbed onto the roof with the boy right behind me.
The next window next to the boy's room opened and the man with the steel whip knocked down the screen and climbed out into the moonlight with us.
"Leave me alone!" I screamed at him backing up with the boy just a few feet away from me, a name popped into my head "Zach be careful don't fall off!" I yelled at the boy I looked back just in time to see the whips shine of steel catch the moonlight as it came down on him right forearm. I screamed and stumbled back.
"Stop it! WHO ARE YOU?" I screamed as tears streamed down my face
"What? You don't remember your own daddy? That's a shame…I just came to finish off what I started!" then he almost hit me but I dodged it "You were an accident!" he yelled at me and those words floated through my head and I remembered the sound of the gun, him pulling the trigger me falling. But that's all I got before my foot slid of the edge of the roof and I fell off.
My hands grasped the edge of the roof "Zach! Help!" but instead Zach my 'dad' stood there and I saw Zach running but he didn't get there fast enough because he was on the other side of the roof. Dad stepped on my hands and my grip started to loosen.
"HELP!" I screamed and just when I thought my life was going to end Dad went flying over my head
"This is it! I'm going to die!" I yelled up at Zach as he scrambled over to me he got on his stomach and grabbed my hands and wrists and tried pulling me up but couldn't because my wrapping had caught on a sharp piece of metal from the roofs edge.
"Don't say that just hang in there!" He tried again and I screamed out in pain as the metal dug deeper into my wrapping and poking the now bleeding spot on my stomach.
Two figures, male and female, came out of Zach's window and rushed over to me and pulled with Zach. I let out a heart stopping scream, signaling that I was in pain.
"Cammie this is going to hurt!" then with one final powerful yank and my screaming I was yanked onto the roof and laying in Zach's arms clutching my stomach an trying to breathe
Somehow this all seemed too familiar…
"He's gone…" was all I said before darkness swallowed me
