"I wish that they didn't come looking for me. They would've been safer anywhere else."
"I know, but hey, at least you know that they care about you." I give her a slight smile. She's not wrong.
"Hey! Who's there?" I hear the guy outside the door say. Ida's eyes meet mine in an instant. There's a long silence. Then the sounds of gunshots ring in my ears. The guy outside the door drops to the ground with a loud thud. Just as expected, Ruby and Xavier come rushing into the room.
"Cam oh my god are you okay?" Xavier comes rushing to my side.
"You guys need to leave! Right now! They know you're here, leave. I'll be fine."
"Camila we're not leaving you here, we're taking you home," Ruby says.
"I'm serious-" I hear the sound of slow clapping. Damion and Vincent walk into the cabin. A grin is plastered on both of their faces. A third guy walks in soon after. He's the one clapping. I don't recognize him.
"Well done boys. I knew you'd pull it off." His eyes land on me. "Though, Damion, I wish you wouldn't have done that to her." He nods toward the cut on my chest.
"I'm sorry, it was the only way to get what we needed," Damion says.
"Sadly. Anyways, it's time for you all to come with me." He clasps his hands. "It's also time for me to take you back home my dear. To your real home."
"What are you talking about?? Why would I go home with you?" I say, disgust heavily in my voice.
"Sweetheart. You're a spitting image of me. I'm your father. Your real father. It's time to come home."
