My stomach dropped.

That's right. I remembered Gems continue going out to see where Casey was going even after Harry had brought me back to the cottage. She must've gotten lost... taken, perhaps.

My eyes started to water.

"This... this is all my fault." I whimpered, taking a seat next to Harry.

Harry scooted to the floor and got down on one knee in front of me. "Charlie... Charlie, no, none of this is your fault. It's-"

"No, Harry!" I raised my voice, giving him a stern look with tears now streaming down my face. "It's my fault! If I had never been so concerned with going to save Casey, if I had just listened to you about turning around with Gems... none of this would've ever happened! Gems would be safe, not possibly dead in your father's hands! Maybe I should just give myself over, I can't-"

"Enough!" Harry screamed, placing his strong hands on my cheeks. "Don't talk like that! Gems isn't even dead, I just spoke to her. And she's not stupid, she either got caught on purpose with a plan in mind or she just got tangled up... either way, we will save her and everything will be okay; you understand me, baby?"

I gently smiled at him. He always knew how to make me feel better.

However, I still knew deep down that this all happened because I was too stubborn to listen to him. But I didn't say anything to him about that. I just replied with, "Okay."

HARRY'S POV

"Okay." Charlie smiled back at me with a little nod and a sniffle.

I kissed her nose. I didn't want her thinking this was all her fault; because it wasn't.

It was my damn father's for not ever controlling his anger in his life.

"So... we need a plan." Charlie gently placed my hands on her lap and looked at me more seriously in the eyes.

A plan. Right. We couldn't just storm into his house and demand for my sister back; since I knew with 99.99% certainty that that's where he was bloody keeping her.

And I think I knew just what we needed to do.

"That's it! I almost forgot." My eyes widened as I got up on my feet and faced Charley with my entire body.

"You almost forgot what, Harry?"

"The original plan that I had made with Niall before any of... this... happened." I was referring to the current mess with Gems.

"With Niall? Who's Niall?"

I looked at her sternly in the eye. "The King of the ghost world's son. But anyways, that's not important right now. What is, is the fact that I need you to come with me to my father's house as... well... bait." I tried to make the last word sound like I wasn't just using her as a toy in this whole thing; but that didn't work.

Charley crossed her eyebrows and suddenly stood up furiously, only inches away from my face. "As.... as fucking what?" She said through gritted teeth.
