Chapter 11
Cammie's P.O.V.
I woke up early in the morning to see that I was tucked in bed –dad must have put me in here after I fell asleep- and dad was in the bed beside me. I had forgotten what had happened last night for a second and tried to remember when it suddenly hit me. Zach…what have I done? I thought as a tear fell out of my eye and rolled down my cheek, landing on my hand when it fell off my face. What am I going to do? I'm trapped in a cell in a C.O.C. base, unable to get out, my friends and families mission failed, the only person that could possibly help me probably won't because I didn't trust him, dad's stuck in here with me, the C.O.C. wants me for some reason, and Zach's mom is in the C.O.C. as well, what else could go wrong? I thought to myself in exasperation.
I stood up from my bed and started to pace, trying to think of a way to get out, anything that will help but my thoughts kept getting interrupted by one thing, Zach…even when I practically ruined our relationship I can't get him out of my head! I exclaimed to myself. Suddenly I stopped pacing in mid-step. Wait a minute! Zach…he kissed me last night so maybe, just maybe, he still loves me and if I can just get to him then maybe he can get us out of here safe since they trust him, but how to get him alone… I planned as I started to pace again.
Suddenly after a couple minutes I was struck as if by lightning and stopped pacing yet again. That's it! They want to get information out of me so all I have to do is-! I thought in excitement before turning to face the door, by my calculations it's almost 7:26 and at 7:30 I was informed they would bring me breakfast so all I have to do is wait. My guess was right when almost four minutes later I heard someone walking outside the door, their footsteps getting closer and closer.
I ran back to my bed and sat down as if I had been there all morning and right as my internal clock hit 7:30 the door opened to reveal one of the guards that had knocked me out when I was in the van, who was carrying two trays of food. He walked up to me and handed me one of the trays while glaring at me. Then he walked over to dad who was finally getting up and handed him his food. He turned around and started for the door but stopped when I started to speak.
"I've decided that I'll answer your questions." I stated and he turned to look at me, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.
"What's the catch?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Nothing. It's not like I'm going to get out of here, Dad said this was one of the Circle's most secure buildings and is practically impossible to get out of and it's not like my friends and family know where exactly I am so I might as well answer your questions." I answered truthfully since this is one of the Circle's best buildings and my friends don't exactly know which room I'm in, only the building is technically I wasn't lying. He nodded, excepting my answer before replying.
"It's about time you came to your senses, I'll tell the boss and we'll arrange for an interrogation." He stated before turning around and walking out of the door, closing and locking it behind himself. I heard dad clear his throat and looked over to see him staring at me with a look saying to explain what I was thinking.
"I need to talk to Zach, see if he has any idea how to get out and to apologize for…" I trailed off at that as a overwhelming feeling came across me and my eyes filled with tears yet again but I held them back though a few escaped and trickled down my face. I wiped my face and looked up to see dad staring at me in sadness, love, and sympathy but he was smiling.
"Don't worry Cameron, he'll forgive you." Dad promised and I nodded though doubt was still clear in my mind, what if he didn't? About 12 minutes later the door opened to reveal the three guards that were outside the interrogation room yesterday. I stood up as the far left one started to talk.
"The interrogation room is ready." He answered emotionlessly before turning around and I followed after him the other two men behind me so I couldn't get away(hand-cuffs wouldn't work because I am a spy after a while, I can get out and fight without my hands thank you very much) easily, not that I wanted to, I wanted to solve everything between Zach and I before I left. Besides, I don't even have any idea how to get out of here, I know nothing about the building or where I even am. We had reached the interrogation room now and I stumbled as one of the men behind me pushed me into the room, closing the door behind him.
"Such great hospitality." I grumbled sarcastically, walking over to the chair I had sat in yesterday while I waited for Zach. About a minute later the door opened but it was not Zach. The woman, Zach's mother I see now, walked over to the chair across from me, sitting down.
"Hello Cameron Morgan, I'm Cassandra Goode, leader of the C.O.C." She introduced herself and inside I froze in shock and disbelief while on the outside I stayed exactly the same. Zach's mother is the leader of the Circle? No wonder he didn't tell me, if he had I would have reacted the same way I did yesterday. No wonder they trust him so much, he is probably the heir to the C.O.C., I thought as I sat back in my chair, getting comfortable. If Zach wasn't coming then I wasn't talking. After a couple minutes of silence she narrowed her eyes, "I thought you said you were going to talk? What's the point of asking for an interrogation if you're not going to talk anyway? You're just wasting all our time." She stated swiftly, her eyes narrowing more but I just kept quiet.
"Well are you going to answer me or just sit there quietly for the next hour?" She asked, glaring at me now and folding her arms. I decided that it was time to bring up what I wanted and since they wanted me to talk so much then they'd grant it.
"I said I would talk, but not to you." I stated and she glared harder at me.
"Then to who?" She asked and I grinned.
"Zach." I answered her and that made her stop glaring and stare at me in shock, definitely not expecting that as an answer.
"Zachary?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yes, Zachary Goode. If you want me to talk then that's the only way I will." I said and she nodded slowly before standing up.
"I'll get him for you. But when I do you will answer my questions." She demanded and on the outside I nodded but on the inside I snorted, as if, I'll never answer your questions, I thought as she opened the door but I stopped her.
"Oh and I want the cameras to be off, just like yesterday because I'll know if they are or aren't and if they are on then I won't even speak." I promised and she nodded before she went to find Zach, closing it behind her. I sighed and leaned back in my chair, waiting for Zach.
Zach's P.O.V.(A/N: This will be a very short P.O.V., just warning you)
I was lying down on my bed, thinking to myself as I threw a ball against the wall in front of me and caught it before repeating the cycle. I was in my room that every C.O.C. headquarters had and let me tell you, it was completely decked out. A penthouse sized room with white fuzzy carpet and green walls(the color of my eyes). There was a huge plasma screen t.v. in the middle of the wall in front of me that was hooked up to a xbox360, wii, game cube, playstation, and any other t.v. electronic you can think of. Right next to it there was a pair of doors and behind them was a huge room filled with any small electronic(iPods, Nintendo ds', iPad's, gameboy's, etc.) and every game ever made and let me tell you, there's a lot.
Past that there is the main door that leads out of the room, bringing you towards the interrogation rooms. In the top right hand corner of the room was a snack bar full of every kind of snack, healthy and unhealthy, as well as international snacks(things from Japan, China, India, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, you name it). On the bottom right hand corner there was a door leading to a whole game room, just as big as an arcade room and just as stocked as one full of every game ever made and being made right now. In the middle of the back wall(wall facing the t.v.) there was a door leading to a huge indoor pool and about three Jacuzzi's as well as a small fireplace surrounded by about five chair and a table in the middle of them.
Next to that there was a door leading to a bathroom with a tube the size of a huge Jacuzzi with jets and everything as a huge standing shower made of gold and brown tiles. Lastly, on the bottom left corner(where I was) there was a king-sized bed, a wardrobe, and a bedside table. In the middle of the room there was two steps that lead to a little sitting area with a huge table, two couches, one arm chair, and two bean back chairs with a small t.v. in front of them. Yea, it's pretty much a teenager's dream place. I was stopped in my thoughts as I heard my bedroom door open right as I caught the ball. I looked over to see Mom coming in and I smiled at her.
"Hey mom." I greeted her loudly since she was on the other side of the "room". She looked over at me and smiled lovingly.
"Hello Zachary, did you have a good night's sleep?" She asked and I nodded.
"So, what do you need?" I asked, starting to throw the ball against the wall again.
"Our prisoner has decided to start speaking but she'll only talk to you." Mom answered and I caught the ball once again as my head snapped over to look at her.
"Cameron?" I asked, the name feeling weird since I never call her that.
"Yes, she woke up this morning and said she wanted to talk to you." Mom explained and I nodded calmly while inside I was panicking, what if she wanted to talk about the kiss last night? Gosh, why did I have to kiss her it was so stupid of me! Now she probably is going to kill me for doing that! I thought to myself, not remembering the fact that she had kissed me back.
"Oh, ok then. Is she in the same interrogation room as yesterday?" I asked and she nodded. I sighed and stood up, walking across the room towards her. She stepped out of the way of the door and I walked through it towards the interrogation room, not ready for this conversation at all.
(A/N: Well! That was a lot longer than I thought it was going to be. I was picturing it being like only two paragraphs but I got the idea for his room and had to put it in so that's why it was)
Cammie's P.O.V.
About five minutes later the door opened and I saw Zach walk in. My heart stopped beating and my breath caught as he turned around and closed the door, locking it behind him. I suddenly remembered how to breathe and gulped in a deep breath of air as my heart started beating acouple seconds after it stopped. Zach turned around and my eyes met his gorgeous emerald eyes before he looked over at the left wall, not meeting my eyes which just made me feel even more guilty and not trusting or listening to him enough.
"You wanted to talk to me?" He asked, shoving his hands into his pockets and still staring at the wall. I took in a deep breath and sat up straight before speaking.
"Is the cameras off?" I asked instead and he nodded.
"Yea I saw them turn them off when I walked in here, why-" He asked but was interrupted as I jumped up from my chair ran over to him, wrapped my arms around his neck, and smashing my lips onto his, closing my eyes in pleasure. I felt him freeze underneath me but I just kept kissing him, I needed this so much, it made the pain go away if just for a moment. A second later I felt him unfreeze and wrapped his arms around my waist as he kissed me back just as passionately. I tightened my arms around his neck and raveled my fingers into his hair as one of his hands reached up and pushed on the back of my neck, bringing my head closer to his and the kiss got deeper. After about five minutes we pulled back, breathing heavily, and I buried my head into his chest as tears started to overwhelm me. I felt his shock from me kissing him and now I was crying, but he tightened his hold on me and murmured comforting words to me that just made me feel even worse for not trusting him.
"I-I'm so s-sorry Z-Zach. I'm so s-sorry for n-not t-t-trusting y-you." I sobbed but he just hugged me tighter and continued to murmur words of comfort to me. After acouple minutes I finally calmed down and pulled back, sniffing still. Zach brought his hand up and pulled my chin up so I'd stare into his eyes and his eyes softened at all the guilt, pain, anger(at myself, not him), confusion, and love in my eyes. He reached up with his other hand and gently wiped my remaining tears away before caressing my face with his hand.
"It's ok Cammie, I understand." He said and wiped away a tear that fell from my eyes at that. Realizing that didn't help, he bent down and placed a sweet, loving, and chaste kiss onto my lips and I gently kissed him back. Ten seconds later we pulled back and Zach rested his forehead on mine, staring deeply into my eyes and I all but melt into his arms, sighing contently as I closed my eyes, "I love you Cammie." He whispered and my eyes snapped open in shock at that to stare into his emerald green eyes filled with love, peacefulness, calmth, happiness, and comfort. Outside I was smiling at him but it was a little off because something was wrong. A second later it clicked.
"Gallagher Girl." I whispered and his eyes filled with confusion as he tilted his head slightly.
"What?" He asked and I smiled softly.
"Call me Gallagher Girl." I asked and the confused frown left his face to be replaced by a loving smile. He pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear before caressing my face again.
"I love you Gallagher Girl." He repeated and I beamed at him before kissing him again, putting all my love into it and he kissed me back just the same way. When we pulled back I sighed before speaking.
"I love you too Zach." I whispered and he smiled mischievously at me.
"Blackthorne Boy." He stated and I laughed lightly before repeating after him.
"I love you too Blackthorne Boy." I corrected and he smiled one of the happiest smiles I had ever seen on his face before hugging me tightly, burying his face into my neck. As I laid my head on his, relaxing in his embrace, I thought that even with enemy C.O.C.'s all around us and being trapped here with no plan out, this was the happiest I've been in a long time.

Well, there we go, that's the end of the chapter! I know, not much happened even though it was extremely long and took a long time to write(longer than usual) with really bad attention span, and I'm sorry about the bad ending, I couldn't really think of anything since I'm pretty much winging it and that was the only idea I had but I finished it! Sorry, really excited here. I was thinking a while ago that there would've been only one more chapter after this but I got a great idea so it may be like four more chapters after this one, but don't worry, it'll be over soon. The next chapter is on the plan to get out, it's not written yet or even started but I'll start it as soon as I can even though I don't have much inspiration, I'm really caught up in my 'Athlon, Chaos' Commander of the Universe' story –nine chapters already written- and have a lot of idea for it but I am determined to have this story be my first completed story(not including one-shots or two-shots)! Well I should probably stop babbling on and on with this and finish this authors note before I bore you to death anymore or annoy you too much. So bye, I'll let you get back to what you were doing before reading my story, please please pppllleeeeasseee review, it will definitely make my Christmas even better if you do and will be an awesome gift for me. Well I really should go now so bye! Happy Holidays to you all, whatever you are celebrating, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Quanza, and every other holiday that take too long to list and all!:)
