Trapped

Chapter 7

+DEVON'S POV+

It's practically midnight, the full moon is shining everywhere other than the dark gray sky light snowfall and snow everywhere ahead of me. I look straight ahead as I try to remember where the house is from town. Even with no land around it, I always find myself lost in the middle of nowhere having John pick me up.

I see the house come to view and I speed up, I press my foot on the break and screech to a halt. Getting out of the car, the snow was beginning to get on the windshield. I wipe away the light snowfall and grab the groceries from the car, kicking the house door open to get inside.

"Ashley? John?" I look around the what seemed to be an empty house. I set the groceries in the kitchen and find John sitting in the musty living room smoking a cigar. The fireplace was on and he was staring at it as if he were mesmerized.

"Ashley is upstairs." John says gruffly as he continues to look at the fire.

"The stuff is in the kitchen. I got everything asked for." I point toward the kitchen.

"That's great. It gives Camille something to eat." Ashley sits next to John and takes his cigar.

My heart stops, Cami is here? I haven't seen her in years and she thinks I'm dead! I look at them nervously. "Cami is here?" my voice cracks a little.

"She's our daughter, of course she's here. We came back and we are taking our daughter back," Ashley puts the cigar in her mouth and pulls out a cigarette instead. "You're welcome to see her if you like."

I stare at them with wide eyes "She thinks I'm dead! And Ady is your daughter too, where is she?" I frown.

"In the cellar. I shot her, maybe dead. But, she could possibly be healing." John shrugs without a care in the world.

I stare at them both and shake my head. "You shot your own daughter."

"You can't love them both." Ashley frowns as she lights the cigarette from the fire and places it to her lips.

"I-I-I don't love them both!" I protest. I've always loved Cami. Her ravens black hair was completely natural, not a highlight in sight, her green eyes were nothing like Ady's and her pale face told everyone that it matches her complexion perfectly and not a tan in the world would ever be needed. I smile at the thought of her and snap back into reality.

"I don't love them both!" I say much stronger than I had before.

"Then go say 'hello'." Ashley rolls her eyes as she take a drag.

As I leave the room John is staring at the fire again and Ashley is making smokey 'O's in the air.

I walk upstairs checking everyone room I pass by until I reach the very last room. It's cracked open, but I pushed as hard as I could to get her attention.

Her head snaps up from the chips she's eating and the bag drops to the floor. Leaving her mouth full of potato chip chunks open for the whole world to see.

"What the Hell!?" Is all she can manage and I stand in the doorway like a fool. She's beautiful...

"Devon...?"

"Cami?!"

With the shock about my death hitting her I rush towards her quickly trying to untie the ropes around her feet and her wrists. My eyes bore into hers, mine with sympathy and hers with confusion.

Once I untie her, her mouth was the same, chunks and all. I give her a look of disgust and close her mouth for her. "I've changed that much, huh?" I smirk and grab her hand.

"So are going to get a move on or what?" I grunt as I drag her along behind me.

Seeing what little she went through, I know how her parents really are. I've been there and I won't let her go through the same thing. I have to get her out of here!

"Not until you tell me where you have been the past few years!" She screams. Cami quickly covers her mouth and looks at me for help.

I grab her arm and we run toward a room. Locking the door behind us, I walk further into the small bedroom while she leans on the door with her arms crossed.

"Look, I know I haven't been around okay? I know that." I pull a chain to a light bulb, only giving us a small dim light. I cautiously walk towards her.

"I don't need you to save me. Do you realize that I had to spend 8th grade and my freshman year by myself?" she frowns as she narrows her eyes at me.

I sigh and bite my lip nervously, "Yes."

"Then why? Why did you leave me by myself? We were supposed to be best friends."

"We are."

"No, we used to be."

I feel my heart tear into little pieces. I stop walking towards her and look at the wooden floor in disappointment.

"I'm going to get some sleep." She points to the only twin sized bed in the room. "Goodnight." She frowns as she climbs into bed and pulls up the covers.

I look around for another place to sleep. I find a blanket and look back at Cami in the bed. I chew the inside of my lip and look back at the blanket. "Goodnight, Cami." I whisper softly.
