Cammie's POV
I sat in bed staring at the ceiling as I heard my roommates breathing even out as they fell asleep. It was my first night back in my own bed at Gallagher since last spring. I had come back to the mansion a week ago after escaping from the circle. I had spent almost all of the time in the infirmary recovering from my torture sessions.
Now, I was having trouble falling asleep. It was so much easier in the infirmary when I was so exhausted and been surrounded by Zach, my mom, Joe, Bex, Liz, Macey, Grant, Jonas, and Nick. I lay there now wishing I was back there again now. I continued to lay there shuddering as unwelcome memories from the summer, starring Catherine Goode herself along with her assistant, Henry. Eventually, exhaustion won out. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I opened my eyes and found myself yet again hanging from a ceiling by my wrists in a small white room. Catherine and Henry walked in laughing with the dreaded tray of torture weapons. "I am not going to tell you anything," I growled with as much force as I could. "We know you won't today, but you will eventually. Besides, this is just to much fun! Isn't it Henry?" Catherine asked laughing.
Henry nodded smiling, as he reached down and grabbed a carving knife. "How about we write the truth about you, huh?" he murmured evilly walking towards me. This made Catherine laugh harder. I put on my mask and closed my eyes, pretending I was back at Gallagher with all of my friends. I winced at the first touch of the cold blade cutting into my skin but then concealed all of my emotions with my mask.
Henry gave a commentary of all the words he was writing on my body, even my face. "Pathetic...worthless...ugly...bitch...slut...selfish..." were just a few of the many he and Catherine carved into my skin. "Make sure they are deep enough to make good scars," Catherine said teasingly. I knew they would already leave scars forever.
Suddenly, I was filled with so much rage that, using all of the strength I could muster, I kicked Catherine hard. Right in the nose. Blood began to pour down her face and I could tell her nose was broken from the odd angle it sat at on her face. She looked at me furious, ''You will regret that." Suddenly, she and Henry began punching and slapping all of the places they had been carving. I couldn't help it, my mask fell and with it tears came and I screamed. I tried to block their hand with my legs, but I was too weak.
Then, I heard Bex, Liz, and Macey screaming my name and telling me to wake up. I didn't want them to see me like this and what did they mean wake up? I hadn't passed out yet. Then, Liz voice disappeared. What had they done to her?!
This made me scream louder and cry harder and I heard Bex begin to sob along with Macey. They must have known to hurt Bex they had to hurt someone she loved. Suddenly, I heard him. Zach. Telling me that I was safe and to wake up.
Catherin and Henry disappeared and I found myself in my dorm at Gallagher surrounded by my friends. They were all crying or on the verge of tears. I realized then that I had been having a nightmare. "I'm sorry," I whispered as I ran out of the room. "Gallagher Girl!" I heard Zach call out but I was already through the crowd and doing what I did best. Disappearing.
