This is just a little short story about what happened between Chapter 7 and 8. This is what happened while Cammie was out of it.
Cammie's POV
I felt the blackness consume me. I could see a light up ahead. I looked closer and saw my father. "Dad?" I asked. He came closer and nodded. "Hello Cammie" my dad replied. I felt so much joy! My dad was here! With me! "Oh, daddy! I missed you so much! What happened to you?" I exclaimed while throwing my arms around him. "Oh my darling I've missed you too, how much you've grown! You're so beautiful now sweetheart." He smiled sadly, "before I answer your questions, come with me. I have something to show you." He led me toward the light, and when we were through, I found myself in the middle of a grassy meadow filled with flowers and a lovely creek. Wow…this is beautiful. "This is amazing!" I told my dad. "It is, isn't it?" he answered. "Now, about your questions, you know what happened when Joe Solomon and I went on that mission and I never returned right?", he began as I nodded, "Turns out, there's an organization called the Circle of Caven that was after me because of a disk I created. They wanted it. And they were willing to do anything to get to it. They started with Joe first, because they knew they'd get to me. But I knew it too. I secretly passed the disk onto Joe before he ran out. He expected them to chase after him, but they let him go. I was the one they want. Their leader, Michael Horton, did not want to let him go though. He shot at Joe, and I ran in to save my best friend. That's right, Cammie, I took the bullet for him. Joe was oblivious to that though. That's why he didn't know what happened to me. I knew I was dying, but they still tortured me and searched for the disk. I didn't realize, that they would be after you and your mother too." he replied remorsefully. "So…that man was from the Circle of Caven?" I asked. "Yes, his name is Kent O'Leary. He was sent by Michael to eliminate you." he answered. "So….does that mean, I'm dead?" I asked. "No, you're not." my dad answered, "now it's time for you to go back. It was great seeing you though, my sweet little girl." "NO!!! I want to stay with you! I miss you! I can't live without you!" I protested. "I'm sorry, sweetheart, but it's not time for you to join me yet darling." He said. "No!! I don't wanna live! I wanna stay with you!" I pleaded. "Goodbye, my daughter. Be safe." He said, as he started to fade. "NO!! DAD!!" I begged, reaching out to him. "Goodbye, Cammie. Promise me, you'll try to live" was the last thing I heard before he faded completely, and the light engulfed my back toward the present day. I felt my lungs burning and aching, and I felt lightheaded. I heard people screaming my name as I struggled to open my eyes. My memories about what happened came back to me. No dad! I don't wanna live! Come get me! I pleaded in my head. Promise.. was his very faint reply. I gave in. I whispered, "I…I promise. I love you dad".
