Cameron’s POVMy mother’s voice filled the hidden room quietly.Every word seemed heavier than the last.I stood completely still beside Brandon afterward.His fingers remained wrapped tightly around mine.“And I’m sorry, my son,” she continued.“Because the person you trusted mostwas the one who betrayed you.”The recording suddenly stopped after those words.Nobody spoke for several long seconds afterward.I could hear my heartbeat inside my ears.Brandon slowly turned toward me afterward.“Cameron, please don’t look at me.”I looked at him anyway without speaking.His expression was filled with uncertainty.There was fear hiding behind his eyes.“Who else could she mean?” I asked.Brandon swallowed before answering me carefully.“I honestly don’t know anymore.”His father’s expression suddenly became unreadable.“You need to listen to everything first.”I looked toward him with growing frustration.“Everyone keeps telling me that tonight.”“And you’re still alive because you liste

Cameron’s POVThe woman stood quietly inside the doorway.Nobody moved after seeing her standing there.My heart immediately began pounding against my ribs.She looked exactly like my mother.Same eyes.Same smile.Same little crease beside her mouth.Even the small scar beneath her eyebrow.I couldn’t breathe properly anymore.“Mum?” I whispered without realizing it.Her eyes immediately filled with tears.Then she stepped toward me slowly.“Cameron.”Her voice broke something inside me.I suddenly remembered running toward her years ago.I remembered her arms wrapping around me tightly.I remembered hiding my face against her shoulder.I remembered being safe.My eyes filled with tears immediately.“Mum,” I whispered again, stepping forward.Brandon gently released my hand.He seemed to understand that moment belonged to us.My mother opened her arms.I walked straight into them without thinking.She hugged me tightly against her chest.For several seconds, neither of us spoke.I co

Cameron’s POVThe darkness swallowed everything around us.Nobody spoke for several terrifying seconds afterward.I could hear Brandon breathing beside me.His hand immediately searched for mine again.I grabbed it tightly without hesitation afterward.“Brandon?” I whispered quietly into darkness.“I’m here,” he answered immediately.His voice sounded closer than before.My mother suddenly whispered my name.“Cameron, don’t move.”I froze immediately after hearing her warning.Someone was breathing somewhere behind us.Slowly.Quietly.Almost patiently.Then footsteps moved across the floor.One step sounded directly behind me.I felt Brandon pull me backward gently.“Stay with me,” he whispered quietly.“I’m not going anywhere,” I whispered back.Then the lights suddenly returned again.I looked around the room immediately afterward.My father stood near the doorway.My mother remained beside the table.Ethan stood frozen near the passage.But someone was missing.Brandon’s father wa

Cameron’s POVI stared at the message without breathing properly.The words seemed to crawl across my screen.Brandon leaned closer, trying to read everything.My mother suddenly looked away from everyone.“Why does he know about this?”I asked while holding the phone tightly.Nobody answered me for several uncomfortable seconds.Then my father finally spoke quietly.“Because he wants you scared.”I looked toward my mother immediately afterward.“That isn’t what the message actually asked.”She swallowed hard before meeting my eyes.“What did it say?”I showed her the screen without speaking.Her face immediately lost its remaining color.Now ask your mother why.Brandon looked between us both afterward.“Why does that message scare you?”My mother slowly sat beside the tree.“Because your uncle wasn’t supposed to survive.”I stared at her completely stunned afterward.“You said he disappeared years ago.”“I lied.”“Why?”“Because disappearing was the only protection.”I rubbed my for
