Lauren's pov

2 weeks later

"Have you found anything yet?" I questioned, walking into piper's secret room behind her office in the library.

So far it's been 2 weeks since Kris took Camila away from me again. I have been searching day and night looking for her and Camila when I'm not at school but I always come back with nothing. I even tried to use Camila and I's bond to see if I could see something through her eyes, but it's like our bond is somehow disconnected. Piper told me, that it's probably because of where my mom is keeping her.

"No, not yet," she tells me. "But hey, I'm sure I will" she reassures me, noticing my facial expression.

"You told me that last time" I reminded, sitting down on her sofa.

"I know, but you have to be patient," she tells me, flipping through her books.

"I've been nothing, but patient" I huffed, running a frustrated hand through my hair, closing my eyes. "She had a dream about us a few nights ago," I tell her after a minute or so. Piper looked away from her books to look up at me.

"How do you know?" She questioned.

"I used our bond" I explained. "I was using it to see if I could find out where she was being kept, but instead I came in while she was sleeping," I told her.

"What about?" She asked with curiosity.

"It was before our bond got disconnected, but it was the time when we were teenagers and we were running around in the woods because I threw food at her" I smiled fondly remembering that day.

"Cute" piper commented.

"It was like at that moment, everything was so easy and simple. We didn't have a care in the world, and it was just us two" I smiled. "I swear that day, I fell ten times harder for her. She was always like the light in the darkness, always there for me, when things were tough" Somehow while I was talking about Camila, I ended up laying down on the sofa. "You know, when I first saw her, I didn't think she would be this important to me, but I was wrong, oh man, was I wrong" shaking my head, I closed my eyes thinking about her.

"Lauren, I know I keep saying this but we will find her, that I promise you," piper tells me, resting her hand on my leg. "I will not rest till we find her, hell even if that means killing kris" opening up my eyes, I could see piper was being dead serious.

"I don't think, we need to kill her" I reasoned sitting up. Piper gave me confused look.

"And why is that? She made your life hell when she killed the people you loved, and when she took your wife away from you and for what!!?" I could tell piper was growing anger just by thinking about it all.

"I understand that, but why must we go straight to violence?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"She deserves it!!" Piper shouts, standing up from the sofa. "Especially after everything she has done" piper had a distancing look in her eyes.

"To whom though?" I questioned, thinking this isn't just about Camila and me anymore, but something else.

"What do you mean? To you and Camila of course," she lied. "Look, I need to finish looking through the books. You can let yourself out or stay here, I don't care"

"Piper what-" She cut me off before I could finish.

"I need to finish this up" with that piper gathered up all of her things and headed to a different room. I was left wondering about what it could be that she is hiding from me. I don't care what happens in the long run, but what I do know is Camila can't leave me alone again, and that Kris can not die.

Camila's pov

"Wakey Wakey" I heard someone whisper to me. "Hey, c'mon wake up," they said, gently shaking me.

"Mhm, what?" Opening my eyes, I saw it was the same guy who was in here the first day, I got here. Feeling scared I head-butted him, causing him to wobble backwards.

"Ouch!! The hell was that for!?" He questioned, rubbing his head with a painful expression.

"I-I thought you were-"

"You thought I was gonna what? Hurt you?"

"Well, I mean yea sort of"

"What?! No, I would never" he assures me.

"Oh ok, well then why are you here?" I whispered to him.

"I came to give you food," he tells me, moving to the door, grabbing a tray of food.

"Um thanks, but there's no way in hell that I'm gonna eat that," I say, looking at the so-called food fake puking.

"Oh no, don't worry I made it, so there's nothing wrong with it, I promise," he tells me with a gentle smile. "I know, it doesn't look appetizing, but I guarantee you it's good"

"Yea, I'm not hungry" I lied. "I spent like, what? Days? Maybe even weeks in here without any food, so I think I can last a few more without any food" as if on cue, my stomach started to growl. He chuckled at me.

"I think your stomach disagrees with you" breaking a piece of chunky meat, with the fork he began to move it in my direction. "C'mon I'm trying to be nice here, hell I'm honestly not even suppose to be doing this" finally giving up I ate the food. After everything was gone I was full. I guess I was starving.

"Thank you," I say, once he was done cleaning my mouth.

"Don't mention it" he smiled, pocketing the napkin.

"Why'd you do it?"

"I just couldn't standby and watch her treat you like this"

"Why not? I mean, after all, you don't even know me" he was going to say something but hushed himself before he could.

"I must go now before they catch me" cleaning up the food crumbs, he got up to leave.

"Wait! I didn't catch your name"

"My name is Anthony, but you can call me Ant if you like" he smiled.

"Ant" I repeat testing it out. "I like it, my name is-"

"I know what your name is," he tells me.

"How?" He gave a lovely smile, before replying.

"You will know in due time, but for now I must go I'll see you later on. Goodbye, camren" with that any left me alone in the dark, wondering how he knows me?

A/N: I'm back!! Ik, it felt like years, but forgive me please, I had exams to study for. But that's all done with now!! So I can update now.
