CHAPTER 24
Dusty
The two days Iâd spent here while Cameron was with me were a breeze compared to the time after she disappeared.
Nightmare after nightmare. A nagging question that wouldnât leave me alone. What if I never saw her again? What if he killed her?
Something inside me told me Annie wasnât alive, which meant Cameron wouldnât survive Roarâs grip either. Every time I came to that realization, I lost my fucking mind. I tried to break the chains, each time fainter than the last, my strength betraying me. Then I cursed the day I was born. The day he was born.
Wasnât it enough to have the blood of a little girl on my hands? Now the blood of the woman I loved would be there, too.
Another realization that drove me insane.
I was in love with Cameron. How I worried sick about her safety and not mine, how my life meant nothing when hers was on the line, how much I was willing to sacrifice and who I was willing to kill to protect her, how I was ready to do anything to save her even if it meant my own death, proved I didnât just like Cameron, my captor, my enemy, but I was deeply and madly in love with her.
And Iâd lost her. I couldnât save the girl I loved. The only girl I loved.
The flashlight had died out a while ago, but, desperately, I kept staring toward the door. âPlease,â I begged the emptiness. âPlease, let her be safe.â
The silence taunted me for what seemed to be an eternity. âFUCK!â I snapped at the chains, cursing my helplessness. I couldnât just give up. I wouldnât be able to live with myself if I did. There must be something I could do. A way out of here before it was too late.
I stared up at my wrists and the shackles secured around them. Those werenât cuffs I could break my thumbs to get out off, but it was worth the shot. I had to get out of here and a broken hand was a price I was willing to pay to save my girl.
One good thing about dehydration was that my wrist and fingers were shrinking a bit and the shackles werenât as tight as before. Screaming my lungs out, my famished, freezing body and the wounds blistering on my ankles screaming louder at me, I curled my thumb under the rest of my fingers and dislocated it. âMother-fucking-fuck!â
Shaking and sweating, I squeezed as hard as I could to slip my hand out of the restraints, but goddamn those beefy hands that still wouldnât budge. Nauseated, I took a deep breath and decided I must break my pinky too. It was the only way, and I must do it fast before my thumb swelled and fuck everything up.
âJesus fucking Christ!â I snapped my pinky and was on the verge of passing out. Biting my lip on the pain, I shook my head to stay awake. Then I growled, pulling my
