Chapter 12

Zach's POV

I woke up with a pounding headache and when I tried to sit and get up from my bed, I was pulled back by something. And that something was chains. Really? Chains? I'm chained to my own bed. What a freaking prank, Jonas.

As I was looking for a way out, I saw that I wasn't in my actual suite in school. I was in sort of a cell. How the hell did I get in here? Think, Zach.

Okay, there was me pacing around the room, Bex saying I sound gay. What the hell? What else... Oh right, Macey telling me to help them and all of us getting called to the headmistress' office.

My hands started to sweat when I recalled what happened to my friends, Mrs. Morgan and Mr. Solomon. Of course I also remembered what happened to me.

Damn it. I was being held captive by my own MOTHER! As much as I hate to admit it, she really is my mother. My evil, manipulative mother. Has the world gone mad?

Cammie's POV

I grunted in pain as another fist lands on my face. I wouldn't give this guy the satisfaction. I'll show him that I wasn't hurt, but truth is, this hurts like a bitch. God, I never knew I could even use such profanities!

"That's enough."

Those two words were my saviour. I never knew I could love words this much. When those words were immediately said, the assigned guard stop hurting me and I feel really relieved.

When the guy who ordered the guard left, the guard gave me a hard kick to the stomach, making me shout in pain. I think he just broke my rib.

"If you still won't talk tomorrow, you'll be receiving more if my precious gifts. Bitch," he spat at me.

I glared at him and gave him my most menacing look. It didn't even scare him. He just laughed at my failed attempt to scare him and left me in the middle if my cell, tied to a chair, bleeding and hurting.

In case you don't know why that asshole of a guard was beating me, well, there's only one reason he does that. I wouldn't talk.

You see, their precious boss, Cindy, is too scared to ask me herself. She thinks that I was hiding something that the Circle wants. Apparently, it's a Gallagher secret. Oohh, how mysterious. (Note the sarcasm.) Truth is, I don't even know what that secret is.

So that's why that ugly guard was beating me up. There was also one issue that I am confused with. I heard the guards talking about Cindy's son in Gallagher & Blackthorne Academy. That wicked witch has a son? I feel so sorry about whoever that guy is.

Suddenly, I heard the door being opened. Oh please no. I can't stand another beating. That guard is really strong. When the door was opened, I couldn't help but feel relieved and angry at the same time.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Why, I came to rescue you. Gallagher Girl. "

My eyes got wide when he said the last two words.

NO. FREAKING. WAY.

I TOLD YOU GUYS IT WAS SHORT! I SO HATE IT! x(

So, cliffhanger? BWAHAHAHA! I couldn't help not write the next chapter. I already finished it, but I don't know if I would post it already. What do you guys think? If 10 or more of you reviews and says YES! I would. If not, then wait for Saturday! :P I'M SO BAD. :))

Oh yes, and it is considered as a cliffhanger because why is Cammie so surprised? OHHHHH! So go and review now! :D ;)
