Prisionor

Cammie POV

I woke to the sound of Zach pacing around the room, infront of the cell door. I winced at the major pain in my ankle as i tried to stand. Zach heard that, and rushed over to me, kneeling at my side. I saw that his shirt was ripped about halfway, and that the scraps were tied around my waist, head, thigh and arms. Wow, how hurt am i exactly? I looked out the small window that was about 5 cm wide, and 5 cm tall. Not nearly big enough for an escape. Not really even a window...

Zach POV

I was pacing infront of Cammie, too restless to sleep. I heard a shuffle from behind me, and i turned to see Cammie try to get up, but failing and falling back over.

'Shes so weak' I thought to myself. '6 months shes lived like this.'

Cammie finally managed to stand, despite her majorly sprained ankle. She has 3 broken ribs, bone deep gashes all over her arms, and legs, and a cut on her forehead. But, im guess ing she has more than she or i has realised yet. She walked over to me, and squeezed my hand.

"Sit down, Zach." She said in a weak, but soft voice. "Its all gonna be fi-" She couldn't finish her sentence because she suddenly doubled over in pain. I grabbed and held her as she fell to the floor, carried her back to the corner of the room, and sat her on my lap cradling her again.

"Shhhh, Cam. Im going to look after you." I reassured her. "Im going to get us out of here." She looked up at me through her matted, bloody bangs, and long thick eyelashes with piercing, ocean blue eyes that never seemed to dull. Even in the extreme psychal and emotional pain shes been and going through, and smiled.

"And ill do my best to look after you, too. You're the only one i have left." She said, just as a lone tear escaped her eyes, and she smiled again sadly, and fell asleep.

As i stared at the sleeping, broken angel in my arms, another thought came to my mind.

'6 months of torture. Of thinking everyones forgotten you, thrown you away like trash, and Cammie is still the strongest, most caring person i've ever met. And ill NEVER let anything happen to her...'

Prisioner - Chapter 3

Cammie POV

In my dream, i was with Zach in my cell. It was midnight. And Bex, Liz, Macey and mom were there, staring down at me. Laughing at me.

"And to think we ever loved YOU. Treated YOU like a sister." Bex sneered in her british accent, pulling out a gun.

"Yeah, looked up to YOU. Respected YOU." Liz joined, pulling a knife out of her tool belt.

"And yet, look at our oh so brave role model now." Macey glared at me, pulling out a bat. Tears rolled down my cheecks, and my mom stepped forward.

"I used to think you were so much like Chris. Smart, skilled, but im really disappointed. YOU, my only daughter, my only connection to Chris, is cowering in a corner." Mom stood back as everyone lurched forward, yelling insults, and slashing, shooking and beating me with their weapons. But no matter what they did to me, i couldn't fight back. I just couldn;'t. I loved them. It took me a while to notice that Zach wasnt next to me anymore, but when i looked up through my blood soaked vision, i saw him being shot in the head by my mother. The woman who raised me. Suddenly, i felt as though i was being shaken, and thrown around.

"Wake up Cammie." I heard a voice pierce the blood soaked darkness of midnight around me. "Its ok. Im here, Just wake up..." Everything around me shattered like glass hitting the floor, and i was drowning in a sea of emerald...

Zach POV

Oh shit! Cammie was thrashing around, and screaming my name, tears tinged with red streaking her face and neck.

"Wake up Cammie" I whisper yelled. Her face was streaked with tears and blood. It broke my heart to see it. She screamed my name again, but it sounded horse, broken. Like she was geting the breath knocked out of her. "Its ok. Im here, Just wake up..." Her eyes squeezed shit even more tightly, and she settled down. Then stopped breathing all together.

"Cammie!" I yelled, laying her on the floor, and giving her CPR. I pressed inot her chest 5 times, then brought my mouth to hers, blowing into her 3 times. I had repeated it 4 times, before i herd her take in a raggared breath. She opened her eyes half way. Her For the first time ever. Her eyes weren't a piercing, ocean blue. They were a dull, dark blue that looked washed out and clouded with pain and fear. She wrapped her frail arms around my neck as tightly as her weak state would allow, and when she pulled back, her eyes were back to normal. But deep, deep in the depths, i still saw that pain and fear. She fell back into unconsciousness, this time, peacefully. Was she scared of me? no, i dont think so. But of what? the COC, of dying? OF WHAT?

Bex POV

We had FINALLY arrived at the base where Cammie and Zach were. Me, Grant, and Macey all jumped off the copter almost straight as it hit the ground, and were running to our positions. Liz and Jonas were on the Helicopter, guiding us through what we have to do. Zach had a tracker in his hair, so we knew exactly where he was, we just need the easiest route to take.

Within 30 minutes, we had skilfully, and silently, taken out all the perimeter guards, had Liz and Jonas take care of all the cameras, and scale the 3 story hight building to the top, where we pried open a ventilation shaft, and climbed through.

"Ok, take a left here." Liz instructed as we came to a fork in the shafts.

"And a right here." Jonas piped in as we came to another. It went on like that for an hour. Until, finally, Liz said what we were all waiting to hear for 6 whole months.

"Ok, guys. Right here. Cammie is right beneath you." I heard Macey squeal like a little girl, and Grant do a silent 'YES!' and me, well i just wanted to get my bestfriend outta here, and to safety. I peered through the grate, down on a very saddening scene. My eyes immediatly watered, and i pulled off the grate, and jumped down silently infron of Zach, the others following...

Macey POV

I swear i almost started crying at the sight infront of me as i jumped down after Bex. Cammie was laying unconscious in Zach's arms. Broken, bloody, and bruised. Oh god. This is all mt fault. WHY did i have to force everyone to go into town that day? WHY did she make Bex choose me over her. WHY? Zach looked up at us then, and i could see the relief in his eyes.

"Finally!" He exclaimed, rushing to get up without waking Cam. But it didnt work. She opened her eyes, and caught sight of us. I smiled at her, but she stared at me with complete fear and curled into the stone wall. I saw Bex take a step forward, and Cammie's eyes filled and over flowed with red tinged tears. Zach went, and knelt at Cammie's side.

"Its ok, Cam. Its Bex, Macey and Grant. Its Ok." He said so softly, and kindly. Cammie squinted, and i stepped out of the shadows. I tried hard to keep in the sobs that wrenched at my throat as i saw her face more closely. Her normally, Ocean blue, luminous eyes, were dark, and dull. Lifeless, full of fear and pain. But within a blink of her eye, it was gone, and her eyes were stunning, bright and beautiful again. But deep, deep in the depths, i still saw that pain and fear.

Zach POV

Cammie cowered into the corner of the room as soon as she saw Bex, Macey and Grant. Whats Wrong with her?

"Its ok, Cam. Its Bex, Macey and Grant. Its Ok." I said to her softly, as they stepped out of the shadows. I knew Bex and Macye were trying hard to keep in their sobs, but Grant had pain written all over his face. They hated to see Cammie like this, i know. I looked into Cam's eyes, and saw the same dull dark lifelessness. But it was gone as soon as it came.

"Anyway, lets get outta here" I pulled Cammie up, and eveyone climbed back into the vent. I lifted Cammie's un naturally light body up to Grant, and who pulled her into the vent. He helped me in next. I could tell it was hard for Cammie to be crawling in here like this, but we had no choice if we wanted out of here...
