AN: Well, this chapter took me a little longer than I wanted, but for a reason. I'll put it this way: I have no idea how a tennage boy thinks. I actually had to get my boyfriend to help me out with this chapter. So, New Years treat, this chapter has Zach's POV for at least half of it. :D

so-cute95: Thanks so much for reviewing! I totally agree, and I be wont having Blake flirt with her or have them going out or anything. And I absouletly love your ideas! I think it's really cool that you have shot guns at a waterfall, I actually kind of made that up in my head.(: And I agree, Cammie was a bit OOC there, but I really wanted Zach to be all protective there. Thanks so much!

pigeonfollower: So, I didn't update the day after the last chapter, but I think you'll forgive me for how awesome this chapter is going to be:D. Thanks for reviewing!

cammiekatmaxjackson: Thanks! I totally love Drake and Kelly Clarkson too! I really love Mr Know It All, and The Motto. Thanks again!

GenuinieQT: Thanks! I know that I ended it abruptly, but I really wanted the kiss in Zach point of view, but I wasn't quite sure of how to do it at the time. And you'll be hearing a lot more about both Zach's and also Blake's, Austin's and Jared's past in the Circle. Thanks so much again!

Who'sThatChick: I don't think it's healthy to be falling for fictional characters, but you're are definatly not the only one! I personally love Zach. I don't think that's the best thing to be in love with... but who cares!:D And I think not only more of Zach's POV will be coming up but I'll throw in a Blake or two for you!(: Thanks so much!

So, here it is! And I must add, longest chapter so far! :D

POV: Zachary Landon Goode

I couldn't help myself. If you were in my position, you wouldn't be able to either. When I looked back over to Cam, the memories of the waterfalls disappeared from my mind.

She looked absolutely stunning. I didn't care if her beautiful hair was still dyed into that shining blonde or that her light blue eyes were covered by the hazel contacts. She was still my Gallagher Girl.

The moonlight didn't help me control myself at all. It lit up her face and I couldn't help but smirk, seeing her resemblance to an angel. Her lips were curved up, into a small smile, adding even more beauty to her stunning face.

Sure, I've had a lot of girlfriends. But, the thing is… none of them meant anything to me. I can't even remember half of the girls I have dated. Yeah, I have kissed girls, lots of girls. But never once have I kissed a girl that I actually felt something strong for.

But that can be changed. Easily. And it will.

"Cam," I said, in a soft voice, snapping her out of her thoughts. I had casually moved closer without her noticing.

Those sky blue eyes of hers may have been gone, but the hazel ones were just as beautiful. They widened in shock when she realized how close I was to her.

I smirked. Not that I could help that either. I mean, I was with the most gorgeous girl in the entire world. And, at this moment, whether she knew or not; she was mine.

"Just so you know, Gallagher Girl… I'm going to kiss you now," I moved my hands slowly, as to not scare her away, but fast enough so she wouldn't pull away. They slid around Cam's small waist with ease, as if they belonged there. In my honest opinion, they did.

As soon as my lips met hers, fireworks went off. It was like an electric spark coursing between our lips.

Within seconds, Cam started kissing me back, as she moved so her hands around my neck. I couldn't help but smirk into her lips. As much as I wanted to make it rougher, I didn't. I wanted to keep it short and sweet. And make sure Cam never forgot it.

We pulled back at the same time, after three point eight seconds… not that I was counting.

Again, I smirked, looking down at the beautiful girl I had in my arms. I couldn't help but feel happy for the first time in what felt like a very long time.

I frowned, as Cam abruptly pulled away from my embrace. She looked down, her face turning pink. I thought it was cute.

"So, um… I'm just gonna uh… go to sleep. So… yeah," she stuttered. I thought that was cute too. Without looking up to meet my stare, she rushed back into the suite, breathing heavily. Did I really have that much of an effect on her?

I sighed, disappointed of her abrupt departure. Looking back to the dark ocean, my mind wandered to other topics. Other topics that happened to be the Circle.

Austin Alexander Goode. My brother. No matter how obvious it was that he was just as cold blooded as my mother, I had hope. For year and years, I hoped that maybe, just maybe, he had made it out too. That he was good. But, obviously, that didn't happen. He just was a cold hearted killer, like my mother.

Blake Christopher Warner. He had been my best friend growing up that the base; we were born just days apart. But, that didn't matter anymore. I hadn't seen him in forever, and who was I to assume he wanted to help us. It could have easily been a scheme to get Cam. And I was not about to let that happen.

Jared Matthew Warner. I had never really known him too well. Sure, he was my brother's best friend and my best friend's brother, but I never really knew him. The closest I had ever been to getting to know him was that day at the waterfalls. He was, however, just as bad as my own brother. They always were the top two that Circle watched. They had a feeling that Austin Goode and Jared Warner were going to be the next great assassins… and they were right.

Cassandra Elizabeth Goode. She may biologically be my mother, but she will never really be my mother. Not in my mind. She is just about as cold and ruthless as it gets. After all, she is the head of the lethal terrorist organization that is after Cam. She betrayed her own husband, and not to mention, her entire family.

Matthew Christopher Warner. I had never actually met the man, only seen him around the base. From what I had got from Blake, he wasn't much better than my own mother. He betrayed his own wife, and Blake and Jared as well, the second he married my mother. With him and Cassandra Goode together, leading the Circle of Cavan, we needed all the help we could get.

And if that meant putting faith in Blake, then I was going to go with it. But, I would never let him be alone with Cam. Not going to happen.

With a sigh, I headed back to the suite. Cam was lying on the bed, tangled in the sheets. I smirked, looking down at her peaceful face. After a minute, I was beginning to feeling like a bit of a creeper, so I wandered off to the bathroom. I heard her mumble something unintelligible, but I waved it off.

After stripping down to my boxers, something I had a feeling Cam would enjoy, I began brushing my teeth.

I couldn't help but remember the night Cam and I were in the hotel room. When she was so cute, trying to convince me she was disgusted at the fact I had no shirt on.

"Zach!" I heard from the other room. I spit out my tooth brush faster than I ever have before, and raced to the bed were I had last seen Cam.

To my surprise, Cam was still asleep. Was she dreaming about me? That question raced through my mind, but then she said my name again. This time it was louder… and with more pain in her voice.

Cam had tears streaking down her face as she tossed and turned in the bed. Quickly, I climbed in, wrapping my arms around her small body. When she didn't calm down, I pulled her into my chest, bringing my lips to her ear.

Strawberries. That was all I could smell when my nose came close to her ear. Zach likes strawberries.

"Shh… Gallagher Girl. It's okay. It was just a bad dream," I murmured in her ear, trying to calm her down.

Cam slowly stopped squirming around, and drifted back off into a deep sleep. I kept murmuring comforting things to her for a couple more minutes, before I too closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

POV: Cameron Ann Morgan

*Dream*

The ropes were digging into my wrists, probably cutting off the circulation to my hands. I knew exactly where I was even though I had never actually been there before. I was in a Circle of Cavan base.

The door in the corner of the room swung open, revealing a silhouette. It had to be male, after all he was six foot and muscular. He took a step forward and I gasped. I would have recognized those emerald green eyes anywhere.

It looked like Zach, but older… Austin! It had to be Austin! I mean, who else would look that much like Zach?

I wasn't scared, until they brought in Bex. She was tied up as well, and already had bruises running all over her arms.

"Don't hurt her!" I tried to yelled, but it came out a lot quieter than I had hoped. But Austin wouldn't have any of it.

He pulled out a knife, and my eyes widened. "Zach!" I yelled. I found it a little odd I called out for the brother of the guy I was trying to get away from. But, I knew Zach would be the one to save me. He had the whole Knight in Shining Armor thing going really well for him.

But, he didn't come. Austin brought the blade to Bex's neck. "Zach!" I tried again, louder.

I could vividly see Austin moving his arm and more importantly, the blade, across Bex's neck and blood beginning to pour to the cement flooring. But it only lasted a second.

My vision was black… I couldn't see anything, but for some reason I felt safe.

"Shh… Gallagher Girl. It's okay. It was just a bad dream." The voice was soft and comforting. I relaxed, feeling at ease. I drifted off to the same voice whispering more sweet things in my ear.

*Dream End*

For the second morning in a row, I awoke feeling safe. And warm.

I slowly cracked open my eyes, waiting for them to adjust to the light streaming into the suite.

I didn't, however, need to see to know exactly where I was. I was in someone's arms. And that someone was Zach. For some reason, I felt used to his embrace.

I had never been pressed against a gorgeous guy's abs before and trust me; it is not easy to forget when you are.

"Sleep well, Gallagher Girl?" Zach had the same sexy, sleepy voice thing going on again.

This time, I caught myself before responding with a stupid answer. "Uh…" I said, but drifted off, seeing the intense look in Zach's eyes.

I couldn't help but blush. I mean after all, he had kissed me last night.

The kiss. I haven't kissed a guy, let alone liked a guy, since Josh. Josh had been my first boyfriend and kiss. I knew it would never work, though. He was a civilian, I was a spy. Not a good mix.

But Zach… he was a spy. A good spy too. He was sweet, at times, and could defiantly make me laugh. But he is so damn cocky. Sometimes he just pissed the crap out of me. I admit, I had grown fonder of the smirk, but he defiantly overused it.

But, there is no denying the fact that Zachary Goode is gorgeous. There was also no denying the fact that that was the best kiss I had ever had in my entire life. It was short and sweet and it made me feel a little dizzy, but in a good way.

"What was it about?" Zach's voice cut through my thoughts.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Your dream," Zach clarified with no trace of any joking in his face.

"Nothing," I quickly responded, looking down.

"C'mon, Gallagher Girl; you were crying. That is not nothing."

When I didn't respond, he sighed. In a flash, I was laying face up on the bed with Zach practically straddling me.

"What was it about?" Zach asked, in a soft tone.

I knew we didn't have all day; after all, we had to meet Blake for breakfast in about fifteen minutes. Not to mention that Zach did not look like he was going to take no for an answer.

I took a shaky breath and told him exactly what happened in my dream, with as much detail as possible.

I didn't meet Zach's eyes the entire time I spoke, but I could feel his intense gaze on me.

When I finished, I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding and looked up at Zach. His eyes were hard, a lot like they were when we had seen Austin at the Circle meeting.

"I'm sorry." What Zach had said startled me. What did he have to be sorry for?

"Uh… what?" I asked lamely.

"I'm sorry that my family is putting you through this. That the Circle is after you," he told me, looking into my eyes, without even blinking.

"It's not your fault Zach," I whispered.

He looked a little relieved as I said that. "We should, uh, get ready. We have to meet Blake soon..." Zach said, as he climbed off of me.

I nodded in agreement, excited to go meet Blake. If he really wanted to help us like he said he did, then the next few hours could bring us closer to bringing down the Circle of Cavan, once and for all.

AN: Sorry if Zach seemed a little OOC, I'm not positive how to have him think...

Well, please review! It means a whole lot to me!
