Author's note: I'm so grateful for my loyal fans who have followed me throughout my stories and to new fans I have met along the way. Writing these stories have been an amazing confidence boost, all inspired by 6 little books from an absolutely incredible author, and I hope one day I can being at least half as good as her. Thank you Ally Carter for creating incredible characters and for bringing together a community. I am forever grateful. As I'm writing this I can feel tears forming. It's nearly been a year since I first uploaded Somebody Knows and here I am almost a year later uploading the last chapter of my third story in this series...Is it over? Or is it just the beginning? Thank you again xxx


Cam POV

The mood had definitely turned since my outburst. Eric's vein on his head was throbbing viciously whenever he talked or looked at me. My limbs were bound with rope and spread across the table. The chandelier dangled delicately above me. I'd messed this up, big time. All I could do was look to my right where Zach was sitting, he never broke eye contact with me. Everything we wanted to say passed between us silently...the thing I couldn't see in his eyes, was goodbye.

'Bring in the elder' Eric announced. There was a shuffle of people and the wooden doors creaked open. Eric moved in front of me, blocking my sight of Zach. He was smiling. 'This is not how I wanted this to go, but you've left me no choice' He gave a dramatic sigh 'You can always give me the codes and it will all be fine'

'Go to hell' I snapped. He smiled

'I'll see you there' He gave me a small salute before standing up as the door opened. There was more shuffling. Zach diverted his gaze from me, his mouth opened slightly and then his jaw set in anger. He's just worked out who the elder was.

I glanced up to see the woman from before give me a toothy grin. She placed her hands on either side of my face and knelt down.

'You were meant to wait' She whispered with a small chuckle 'This is going to hurt for a bit. I'm sorry' I furrowed my brow confused, then I realised what she was doing. She placed one hand over my mouth and the other over my nose. She pressed down lightly as I began to squirm against my restraints trying to breath. I could see Zach clenching and wincing at my muffled screams. I blinked back the tears as my heart began to slow. Slowing right down. Then the hands were removed. And I gasped for breath.

'It has been tradition for over 300 years that the eldest member sacrifices an animal as an offering' Eric announced 'And what better animal than the Chameleon' His eyes danced in the candle light.

'Fuck you' I spat. I was hit across the head by the woman. I glared at her as she grabbed a knife from her robe. The metal glistened in the light. I stared at her and it, she moved around the table, placing the blade over various points on my body before making her way back to my head. The tip grazed my chin, making its way across my cheekbone and then under my nose.

'How are you going to get out of this one?' She asked

'Wing it' I answered shrugging my shoulders lightly

'STOP THIS CAMERON' Zach growled 'You need to stop wanting to be the hero because no matter what, you're going to die Gallagher Girl. We're all going to die' His eyes misted over. I shut my eyes and looked at the woman who was smiling at me. She had moved the knife from my face and towards my arm. The point skated across my veins until she came to my wrist.

'How long?' She asked, raising her eyebrows slightly.

'Less than 60' I responded. She nodded and sliced the rope that bound me, she quickly freed my left side and I whipped round to kick a shocked Eric in his stomach.

Almost instantly Dawn and Peter were fighting against their captors and my friends were doing the same. The old woman was freeing Macey and the other descendants whist I half hung on the table fighting off Circle members. I was about to get hit across the face when Zach threw him across the room and began to untie me.

'How did you-'

'Spy' Zach pointed to himself and winked. Once my restrainsts were undone I looked at the woman

'30' I shouted. She nodded and turned away. I grabbed Zach's hand. 'We have to run' I said pointing at the double doors. Zach nodded and began to move through the bodies and fights towards the doors, in the process picking up Liz and helping the Australian girl out. I made my way through the crowd as well trying to spot Eric. I couldn't.

'Cameron' Charlotte stated. I stopped in my tracks. She had a gun. I didn't.

'This doesn't have to end this way for you Charlotte' I raised my hands slowly

'You ruined everything' She spat

'I know Charlotte' I admitted. Charlotte's eyes widened 'I know what your hiding' Her hand on the gun shook slightly 'It shouldn't end this way for you or Preston' I stepped forward 'Come with me and I promise you'll be safe'

'You never keep promises' She snorted

'You have nothing to lose now' I bit my lip ' We're running out of time' She nodded and lowered the gun. I smiled. We then ran out of the double doors. Once we were in the corridor we shut the door.

'How long?' The old woman called

'10' I whispered. We both had wide eyes 'EVERYBODY RUN' I screamed as I bolted down the corridor. I was half way when I realised she hadn't followed. I turned.

'This was never my fight' She answered my unasked question. 'You will do great things Cameron. Just like your father' I didn't get a chance to reply because there was an explosion. The hard drive from earlier, there was a bomb hot wired into the actual machine. Once I caused it to fry, I had 10 minutes...all I had to do was waste time. So I played the Gallagher Girl Game on everyone in that room...could you tell what were lies and what were truths? The bonderies between good and bad, truth and lies have been come so blurred...I can't tell the difference anymore.

I fell back from the blast, heat absorbing my body.

'CAM' Zach called running back to me. He helped my up as we sprinted down the corridor, getting away from the flames that were licking our feet. Liz had memorised every turn, every route that they took. She guided us into the open air where we finally could breathe. We turned to see flames dancing over the building, tourists screaming and running. Sirens coming closer, louder.

'We're safe' Bex whispered collapsing on the ground and gaining her breath. I looked at all of them, my friends who were so willing to die for me that they nearly did. I looked back at the building full of people that wanted me dead for so long, wanted secrets that I didn't know I had. A thought dawned on me. I was similar to the Circle...we both wanted to start again. And we both failed. Safe? I don't know if that's the term I would use for my life...but right now, I'll lie to myself. I am safe. I will be safe. Or so I thought…

*9 months later*

'The little critter will be crawling before you even blink' I said into the phone. The wind on top of the tower was catching my hair causing it to fan behind me. I pulled my coat further around my body whilst staring out at the Paris sunrise.

'He looks like him Cameron' Charlotte whispered into the phone. I felt my heart pull for her

'How's village life treating you?' I asked diverting the conversation. Once we escaped 9 months ago; Interpol, FBI and CIA wanted to arrest Charlotte. I knew her secret. I knew she was pregnant. I knew that if she was taken into custody, they would take the child away from her. I couldn't allow it. I told them that I had to kill her, she couldn't be trusted. When really I hid her in Nebraska, the little town I grew up in and a place that would protect her and her son for as long as she needed to.

'It's amazing! For once I feel that I can breathe' She sounded relieved 'How about you and Zach?'

'We've just finished another mission' I smiled staring out at the sky line 'I actually should go' I said quickly feeling the air turn colder

'I'll speak soon' She said quickly sensing something was wrong.

'Bye' I ended the call. I put my phone away and stared at the view. 'You know it's not right to shoot me in the back' I said aloud 'It shows you were a coward and couldn't face me'

'Then face me'

I turned around and saw Eric. He was covered in burns. But he was alive. I hated it.

'I can shoot you now' He smiled, clicking the gun. I just looked at him. He smiled. He pulled the trigger. I sighed

'When will you ever learn to load your gun properly?' I said bluntly. I then drew my gun. Eric looked at me.

'You couldn't' He answered

'I can. And I will' I clicked the gun. And without hesitation I fired a bullet into the middle of his head. His body fell to the ground as the shot rang out in the crisp morning air. I felt a weight be lifted not just off my shoulders, but off my heart.

I've Always Known that What We Thought We Knew was wrong, Somebody Knows the truth...and that somebody turned out to be me...but Knowing Me is a dangerous thing.

Knowing Me is out now
