Third Person POV:

"You said what?" Thomas chuckles as the two walk through the underground tunnels.

Maven just giggles in response, clasping Thomas's hand in his as he drags the older boy with him. "They deserved it," He says. "And they were being rude anyway."

"Mavey, how were they being rude?" Thomas asks, quirking an eyebrow as the two stop in a room. His beautiful, gorgeous, dark, brown eyebrow. Maven thought(Simp).

The prince huffs. "They just were," He says indignantly.

"Well, I apologize on their behalf for upsetting the whiny boy," Thomas says, teasingly. Maven pouts, making Thomas giggle and lean forward, pressing a kiss to Maven's forehead. "Don't worry, Mavey, I'm only teasing."

"Of course, I know that," Maven says matter-of-factly.

Thomas smiles wider. "Hey," He says, taking Maven's hand gently. "Can you do the fire thing again?" Maven nods, pulling his hand away from the other before using the little device on his wrist to make a flame, wrapping the fire all around his hand. Thomas stares at it, mouth agape. "Does it burn you? Do you feel it at all?"

Maven shakes his head, twisting his fingers. "No," He says. "No, it doesn't hurt. It tickles, kind of."

Thomas stares at the light, smiling softly. "That's cool," He whispers. "You're so special, Mavey," He takes Maven's other hand and gently kisses it, causing a silver blush to appear on Maven's cheeks as he flushes.

"Your Majesty!" A faint yell comes from the hallways, making the two boys whip their heads around in fear.

Thomas launches himself over to the door, locking it before turning to Maven with wide eyes.

"Th- They can't find you here!" Maven whispers, latching his hands onto Thomas's forearms, turning him away from the door. "They'll kill you! Can you hide somewhere?"

Maven looked around widely, just as the door burst open.

A silver ran in, and Maven immediately identified them as a Wind-weaver. They spotted Thomas, who was obviously a red-blood, and their eyes widened in rage.

"Red rat! Get away from the prince!" They shouted, pointing at Thomas.

More silvers entered the room, and fire licked around the side of Maven's face. Thomas winces as a bit of fire touches his skin. "Hey- Maven, calm down-" Thomas says as the fire got hotter. "Maven-"

As a silver moved forward to grab Maven away from Thomas, the fire on his side got brighter as Maven got more scared.

"Maven!" Thomas shouts as the fire burns even brighter.

The prince turns around, just now realizing what was happening. Maven's eyes widen, and a silver grabs onto one of his arms, making him freak out even more.

Thomas backs away, shielding his face from the brightness.

"Get back!" Maven screams at the silvers, swinging his arm out to spray fire at the silvers, burning some while others have a good sense to leave.

Then a lick of fire touched a small cord.

And everything went white.

:D

This isn't one of my usual books, but I might make more Red Queen Stories. I love the series SO MUCH, and I just reread it again.

hola.

I will try my hardest to finish the other two books I was working on, but when motivation disappears, it disappears.

When it comes back, I promise I'll finish them. Just please wait. D:
