The Island

Bonus Chapter 2-Cam's POV

Cam's POV

I knew without a doubt that Erika has read the writing on the wall. The writing that tells of her coming, the writing that tells the future, our future. I couldn't stand the idea of her thinking that it all seems forced. In truth, I didn't want to know what she thought about the writing on the wall. All I could think of was that she will hate me, she could never love me. We were from two different worlds and she would never understand.

At least, I didn't think she could.

I lean my head against the wall and noticed the dent that I had created in my anger. What had she thought of me?

I knew I had scared her, she ran from the room as the thunder cracked in the sky and the rain started to pound on the roof. The wind is still blowing in from the doors that had opened with its force. But with everything in me, I couldn't seem to tame the beast, the anger that doesn't seem to want to disappear.

I wanted to break something, to destroy the room, rip the writing off the wall somehow. But I knew I couldn't, I couldn't become the monster that everyone thinks I am. Punching the wall and yelling seemed to be the alternative. I didn't want to be the monster everyone fears will return. I don't want to be that person that everyone fears because I can't keep the anger and rage at bay.

I look at the words on the wall and somehow feel some sort of comfort from reading them. My breathing slowly became normal again. I could feel the tension slowly disappear and didn't know how but I was relieved. I didn't like when I lost control and I had no doubt that I had scared Erika.

I should be asking myself why I lost control in the first place. Was it the fact that she read the words or is it the fear of rejection, that she will fight what the future holds? But can you fight destiny?

I guess that was my fear, that once she read the words and figured out they were about us, that she would completely reject the idea. That she would run and never come back to me. It's a foolish reason to get worked up about, but I realize it was my reason.

I'm an idiot. I shook my head and look around the room. I need to find Erika.

Running out the room and down the stairs, I see Sophie standing by the railing watching me as I run down the staircase.

"Where's Erika?" I asked.

She scowled at me. "You just had to over react didn't you? You couldn't think rationally." She accused, almost in tears. "Now, we will never break this curse." Tears start to run down her face and she sobs.

Running down the rest of the stairs, I went to hug her, wrapping my arms around her.

"We will break this." I told her.

She shook her head violently. "Not when Erika left." She says sobbing harder into my chest.

She left?

"What? Sophie, where is Erika?" I ask her, pulling her away from me so I could look at her.

"She came running down the stairs from your room and said she couldn't stay here. She left Cam, you scared her off." She says before turning to run down the hall and to her room.

Shit. What have I done?

Debating between running out of the house to look for Erika or go comfort Sophie so she can calm down enough to help me. I decided to deal with the closer mess I made today first.

Walking down the hall and opening Sophie's door, I found her sitting on her bed, crying into her knees.

"Sophie, I am sorry." I walk over to the bed and grab her in a hug. "We will find her."
