Cammies POV

              I was in a deep dream until some floor board creaking woke me up. I looked towards my door and saw two shadows at the bottom of my door. I grabbed my gun and directly aimed it at the door with both hands. I wasn't shaking or trembling. I had regained my confidence since the whole "Circle kidnapping me and torturing me" thing.

         "Woa!" a familiar voice said. "I just came to say good night. No reason to kill me." Zach was in a pair of flannel pj's.

        

        "Sorry, but you know they have this new thing, it's called knocking." I said with the smirk he always gave me, but this time it was on my face.

         "Hmmmmm." He thought for a moment. "I've never heard of such a thing." The smirk was back on his face. We both chuckled.

         "That dosent surprise me at all." I said back giving him a 'I'm mad at you but I love you too much to be mad at you ' look. A look he knew too well. He sat on my bed and kissed my forehead.

          "Goodnight Gallagher Girl." He said standing up to walk out of my room. Though I hated when he called me this it still reminded me that I was safe with him. I could take care of my self, but he was always there, and that phrase reminded me of that.

           "Zach?" I called before he could exit my room.

           "Yeah?" His green eyes  glistened.

          "Never mind." I told him. I didn't want to worry him with any of my small little problems. But sadly he knew me too well, and loved me too much.

             "What is it, Cammie?" He said walking back to me.

              "It's nothing, really it's nothing at all." I knew what I was about to tell him would make him mad. But he just gave me a one eye brow raised look. so basically he wasn't leaving until I told him what I wanted to tell him. "Please don't get mad at me."

            "I could never be mad at you. But wat did you do?"

            "I lied to you and everyone, and every night I have nightmares and no one to talk to about them. I just need to tell you, but I really don't want to worry you."

           "What aren't you telling me Gallagher Girl?" He said with a soft tone in his voice.

            "Well..."

            "Well... wat?" He said again, pushing for the answer.

            "Remember a few weeks ago, when I went to Russia? "

           "Yes."

           "Well I did go to Russia, but I didn't exactly go on vacation."

           "I knew you had to be lying about that, because I trailed u all the way there."

           "Yea I know u trailed ne, but when u lost me I went to a Circle headquarter base."

            "You did wat?!?!" He voice over welming in concern and love.

            "Well your mother contacted me." His slight concern turned to anger. "She told me she knew where you were gonna be in a week (which was in italy) and unless I came in she would hurt you."

            "So you listened to the one phyco path that is trying to take you away from me?"

           "I didn't want her to hurt you. Anyway we just talked she didn't do anything to me." He gave the one eyebrow raised look again. "zwell okay she tortured me like a tiny bit, but that was it. That's not your mothers style, in anyway shape and or form. I think she is planning something big, and I don't know wat it is. Zach I'm scared she might try to hurt you." He was quiet and looked down at the floor. His eyes narrowed as he looked at me.

            "Cammie, I promise you we are going to find her and kill her for everything she has done to you. I will get her. Do you hear me? I will." He sounded like he was reassuring himself more than me.

          

           "Zach I'm sorry." I said, tears in my eyes just thinking what she would do to him.  He gripped my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. He deepened the kiss and his arms slid around me. As I pulled away he spoke softly to me.

           "Cammie I'm not mad. I love you and I want you to know that. I am angry with my mother, but not with you. I love you so much Cameron Ann Morgan." He said as he kissed my neck where the base of my hair was.

            "NOOOOO!" I started to scream. my eyes went blank and I couldn't tell what was going on. "NOOOO!" I screamed again. I started pushing Zach away and tried to run, anywhere , somewhere, away. I tried to run away. But strong arms engulfed me in a hug. They held me around the waist and then one hand was over my mouth.

             I had been having fits, or breakdowns ever since a torture session with none other than Catherine Goode. Zach knew I had these so he always just hugged me and stroked my hair until I calmed down.

              "Shhhhhh. Cammie it's just me, Zach. Shhh. I'm here no one else is here. No one will hurt u. I have got you baby." I struggled a bit more before calming down. I started to cry and the years rolled down my cheeks. Zach whipped them away.

               "Zach it hurt so bad. It was so hard. I'm scared, Zach. I'm scared."

              "I have got you. I will keep you safe Cammie. I love you." He spoke into my head as he kissed it. "I won't let anything happen to you. I WILL protect you" He put the enfises on the will.

               Once I knew what was happening around me I could speak clearly. "I'm sorry Zach." I said pulling away from his grasp. But he held me tight.

             "I'm not ready to let go just yet." He said to me.

            "But Zach the longer you hold me the harder your life will be. I was thinking, I am gonna leave. You deserve someone who will not only love you and care for you mote than anything on earth, but you deserve someone who will be able you life easier, not harder." Zach just laughed.

          "First of all I'm never ever letting you out of my sight. Second of all easy is over rated. Third, I love you Gallagher Girl. Nothing will ever change that I don't deserve anyone, especially not you, because you are so wonderful and basically perfect. So good luck getting away from me, because the only way I'm letting you leave me, is when I'm dead."

                "But seriously Zach, this might be better for you.... and I think..." He cut me off with a kiss. A nice hard sweet kiss.

                 "P.s. don't take that as a challenge, don't try to run away. Because I would stay awake ever night and watch you like a stalker just to make sure you didn't leave."

                  I took a deep breath. "Okay. I love you Black thorn Boy." I said.

   

           "I love you more Gallagher Girl." He said in a soft voice and tone. "I'm gonna stay here tonight." He propped himself against the head of the bed. I laid my head on his chest and fell asleep in his arms. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

         When the nightmares came that night I had someone to hold me and tell me it would be okay. I wasn't alone. I was with one man/spy/boyfriend on this earth that made me feel safe.
