America's POV

(Dream)
I was running throw the palace. I heard the clink of the armor from the men that were chasing me. My shoe caught the door stop and I tripped. Before I could hit the ground someone grabbed me by my hair. I let out a blood curdling scream. But there was no one in sight. I kicked and punched. I hopped that I would hit at least one of them. When I got a good look at my attacker I found that no one was there. They grabbed me by the throat. I tried to fight back, but there was no one to fight. I woke up screaming. Maxon shot up. Once he realized what had happened he rapped me in his arms. "Shhh. It's ok love. I've got you. Nothing is going to happen to you. I'm right here." I started to sob. "It was just a dream. I promise, your safe." He just repeated those words over and over until I calmed down. "It felt so real." I said once I had calmed down. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked me. He wasn't pushing but I knew he was worried "maybe in the morning. For now I'm going to try and go back to sleep." I answered. We laid down. I snuggled up next to him. I fell asleep humming our wedding song. When I woke up I was alone. I tried to get up when I saw Marlee rushing into the room. "Oh no you don't!" She yelled when she saw me. "Come on Marlee. It has been an entire week. Please." I begged. "No, doctors orders. You still have a week." She answered. "Fine" I pouted. I spent the rest of they day watching movies and sleeping. Around 7:40 maxon came in after a long day of work. "Hey." He said "hey" I said after he planted a kiss in my forehead. "Maxon how much longer do I have to say in bed. I'm going stir crazy." I asked "I promise the day you can walk I will take you to the garden just the two of us." I nodded. After maxon got ready for bed. I laid my head in his chest. I was laying there when I realized something. "Maxon, when I was taken did you look at the security camera footage?" "No why." He answered "Maxon, if we look at the footage from the cameras here and throughout the city we might be able to find him and his hideout!" I said excitedly. "America your a genius!" He yelled. "Carter!" He yelled "yes, Maxon?" He questioned " please round up the security camera footage from the night America was taken and have it ready for me to watch tomorrow." Maxon told carter "right away." After carter left Maxon kissed my forehead. " America. You may have just single handed my figured out what we have been trying to for a week i a single hour!" He said smiling. I smiled back. "Can we get some rest?" I asked "if corse my love." I snuggle up close to him and rested my head in his chest. "I love you" I said "I love you too." He replied. I fell asleep listening to the sound of rain hitting the window. The next day carter brought the security camera footage t the kings suite so i could watch it. the footage showed aspen laying me into the back of a truck. we followed thee truck using the footage from other security cameras and found that aspen was hideing in an old factory. just outside of illea. "carter tomorrow you will send 10 oof your best soilders to infultrate and capture anyone that remains there. you will bring back anything and everyone you find back to me foor questioning." maxn ordered. "yes your majesty." carter bowed and exited the room. "maxon what are you going to do to aspen once you find him?'' i don't know how i feel about this. on one hand i feel betrayed and hurt by aspen and i want him to answer fr his cimes. on the other hand aspen is, was my best friend i never wanted to hurt him. what if he refusess to talk and maxon has him tourchered? or he is fund and killed at sight? or worse what if maxon has him hung or caned and i have to watch? "america we just have too wait and see.'' was all the answer i reseaved from maxon. "maxon hoow am i supposed t feel he was my best friend." i cried "how could he d this to me? too lucy?" " i don't knoow honey why doo men doo anything?" he answered. he rubbed circles around my back while i cried. at some point maxon was replaced with my mother. i cried and cried until n mre tears would fall. i laid my head down oontto my pillow and fell asleep froom pure exastion.
