The Gallagher Selection; A Zammie Fanfic

Chapter Seventeen

Cammie's POV ~

Absolute chaos. Everything was absolute chaos.

I saw Aunt Abby jump in front of Macey, taking the bullet as blood spilled over the once freshly polished floor.

A moment later, I screamed as Zach fell to ground. The queen rushed to her son and I saw her look the armed man in the eye, and he rushed away in a moment. There was something fishy going on.

My mother who was seated among the audience grabbed me as we ran out of the castle.

Once we reached her car, I finally spoke.

"Mom?" I asked, almost inaudibly.

"I'm sorry," She replied, I noticed she had a gun in her hands.

My whole body trembled. "For what?"

"For not telling you who I really was." She started the engine as we quickly got out of the palace grounds and through the gates.

Through moments of silence, she spoke again, "And what happened to your father."

Rachel's POV ~

I explained everything to Cammie. From our occupation of a spy to Matthew's death. And told her about Abby as well.

"I was suspicious about Queen Catherine and the Circle of Cavan. I had to get you out of there."

"But what about Abby? You just left your bleeding sister on the floor. MOM, WE HAVE TO TURN BACK!" She screamed through her tears.

I fought the urge to cry, "I'm sorry, kiddo. It's too much of a risk."

"How can you say that so calmly, mom. We've already lost dad! We can't lose aunt Abby too, she's your own sister!" 

I let the tears fall, blurring my own vision as a drove, "I'm sorry."

Cammie looked straight at me. "I love him. I love Zachary, even though his mother might be a complete psycho. Wasn't that what you wanted for me? For me to find love?"

Everything was blurry. The road was no longer visible through my eyes. The windshield was shattered. Glass was scattered everywhere, even into my skin.
