Chapter 8

"What's it going to be? You or Zach?"

Cammie's pov:

I stared back at Catherine, knowing neither of us were used to giving in we were use to winning and we weren't willing to lose this match. "Honey, I can make you look like a candy-stripper compared to me."

"Oh, sweetheart you overestimate yourself," Catherine laughed. "If you don't stay he dies, you hear me? I kill him right here, right now."

"Gallagher Girl," he rasped. "Run..."

"Shut up," Catherine hissed. "Times ticking Cammie, what's it going to be? Him or you?"

A moment ago I could have gotten away but now we were surrounded by guards. "I don't really have a choice do I?"

"No," Catherine shook her head. "I'll let you go freely, the torture is that you'll hear the bullet as it kills him."

I raised my hands above my head in surrender, "Let him go."

Catherine laughed, "I never said he could go freely. I said that if you left I'd kill him, I didn't say he could leave. I'll leave you two to it before you're brought... somewhere else."

I ran to Zach and saw the blood all over. "Zach..." I sobbed. "You're going to be okay," I told him.

He shook his head, "You should have run."

"No," I told him. "I would never leave you."

I helped him pull his shirt off and I had to pull the bullet out of his stomach with my fingers. "It's going to be okay," I whispered.

Zach's pov:

They want to take her away from me but she just holds on and shouts at them to leave me alone. I know that they're doing this to the others. Torturing them into telling them things I don't know what or it might just be showing us how much they can hurt us. Cammie looks small and skinny on the ground and she looks like the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My lips are on hers for only a moment before they pull her away from me and drag her away like a doll.

"Cammie!" I shout. I try to follow crawl after but Catherine smiles and says, "Your wife is going somewhere much worse than what I'll do to her. She's being sold off to Matain and his buddies right now. You have no idea what they'll do to them. But we'll have it on a video feed. Like an X rated movie."

"No!" I shout, but I can't do anything now.
