Oh my gosh guys its been so long! Sorry I've been really lazy, and I just started the mortal instruments series, so I've been reading it to much instead of writing. I'm so sorry guys. PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Hopefully I'll update really soon! Please tell if you have any requests on where this story should go! R&R guys! See you soon!

Every single person in the dinner hall seemed to be staring at one person.

Me.

Well it probably had something to do with my cast and bruises everywhere. Putting my head down I hobbled my way over to our table. Next I go through some high tension interrogations from my friends. Each of them asking what, when, and where all this had happened.

Zach's explaining what happened when I feel a pair of eyes burning through my back. I turn slowly, and come to find Michael glaring at me from the other side of the room. When our eyes meet Michael starts laughing rudely. My eyes start burning with hatred. Zach catches my gaze and tries to calm me down. "Gallagher girl, usually I would be all for beating them up, but your hurt; you need to heal first."

I sigh and look down, my fists still clenched.

(Later)

"What's negative six minus nineteen?" Liz is doing her homework along with Macey. Bex is practicing her roundhouse kicks into a pillow, and I am lying on the floor my face buried into the carpet. Someone knocks at the door softly. "We're busy- go away," Bex screeches through the closed door and throws a pillow at it with perfect accuracy. "It's me," Zach responds knocking repeatedly. I'm about to go get it when a gloved hand covers my mouth, and I feel the cold metal barrel of a gun pressed against my head. My friends don't even notice because he stands in the shadows. They don't even look at me.

Macey walks over to the door, and opens it. Zach jogs in, his eyes twinkling, and his face glowing like he just had been smiling.

Then he sees me.

The look melts off his face, and is replaced with shock, and anger. "Bex come here," Zach whisper-orders. She's about to retort when she looks over at me too.

What they see is me struggling to get away with someone's arms holding me down and covering my mouth. I suddenly become still when he cocks the gun. He had pulled me to the back of the room by an open window. Zach glares at him with such hatred that I'm starting to feel sorry for this guy.

Nah.

He takes two steps closer. Whoever's holding me takes two back and warns, "Any closer I think you know what's gonna happen." His voice sounded a little bit familiar, but I couldn't place it. It doesn't help that his face is covered.

Zach retorts, "Yeah right. The Circle needs her, You won't shoot her so-." Immediately he pulls the gun from my head and aims it at my wrist then pulls the trigger.

My scream is muffled by his hand, but is still loud and clear.

No longer do I struggle. Instead I hang my head low, and swallow down tears. "I'm so sorry Cammie," Zach murmurs.

I close my eyes as I hear another shot, but the hands on me loosen. I feel him crumble to the ground. I fall too, unable to call up the strength to stand. A warm embrace catches me and holds me tight.

When I open my eyes I see Liz standing behind the kidnapper with a tranquilizer gun, and a brightly colored feather sticks out of his back. I look up and see Zach. His arms wrapped tightly around me, with my head buried in his shoulder. I look up to see his face. Zach's eyes looked relieved. But also guilty.

Hope you guys like it! :)
