You're My Princess || maiden au

V.-Revelations-

Maine continued to hide inside her bedroom as the shooting went on. She tried to escape through the window but she won't fit through the metal railings. "You're stuck in here ... great" she thought to herself while looking for another way out. The young girl then screamed after hearing a loud thud against the door. She quickly pointed her gun at it. As soon as another thud happened, she quickly hid under the bed. Maine stayed there until the sounds of bullets being fired stopped.

After it became quiet, Maine crawled out of hiding and slowly made her way towards the door. With her heart racing, she slowly pushed the drawer away.  

"Maine!" a familiar voice screamed, it made her jump out of shock. 

"Alden?" she asked. 

"It's me! Open the door!" 

Maine quickly did. And as soon as she saw Alden on the other side, he rushed in and hugged her as tight as he could. Unaware of her bloodied arm. 

"Ow!" Maine complained the moment he accidentally touched it. "Oh God , what happened to you?" he asked. "Grazed bullet ... where are they? Are they dead?" she asked, confused as to how both he and Jack were able to enter the house normally. 

"They left ... all the guards are down ... we didn't see any of the shooters" Alden replied. "Are you sure?" Maine asked before steeping out of the room. She then looked around and noticed the dead bodies of her guards. "Oh my God" that's all she was able to say after seeing what's left of their cabin after the attack. 

"Maine ... turn around" Alden told her and so she did. The moment she laid her eyes on him something has gone wrong. And she quickly noticed it. 

"Jack?" she asked as her heart dropped. Maine also saw the smirk on the military guy's face. He's pointing a gun on Alden's hand. 

"Oh crap, we're dead" that's all she was able to say as the shooters showed themselves once again, they're in cahoots with Jack.

"Why are you doing this?" Alden asked Jack while he's tying them up. He's bewildered, why would his military best friend do this to him?.

"Isn't it obvious to you yet?'

"Obvious?" Alden asked once again. 

"My full name is Jack Winston Fetters"

"And so?" Maine asked, annoyed. "The name of the woman you're looking for is Evelyn Winston Fetters ... she's my Mum". Alden's heart jumped the moment he heard that revelation. "You're ... you're her son?" Maine asked. 

"Yes ... you would have been my step cousin ... shame" 

"Why are you doing this? You know what she's doing is wrong"

"You know Alden  ... I hate how naive you are sometimes. Haven't you figured it out yet? The reason why there's drones and other advanced stalking mechanisms that you've noticed the past few days is because I have set them up myself" 

"That doesn't answer why you decided to be on the bad side" Maine answered. "Well, the real answer is simple. I love my Mum and she also loves her boyfriend ... which happens to be your uncle. When he dies, she went into depression. Revenge was the outlet she was able to develop in order to let all the pain and hatred escape her body. And since I'm a good son and I love her .. I decided to help"

"Jack ... mate .. you've gone crazy" that's all he was able to say. 

"Can you blame me? Jack asked in a very sinister tone. 

"Uh , yes. Dude seriously .. just let us go" 

"Nope, sorry can't do that" eh replied just as the sound of an incoming truck was heard. "Load them up!" Jack yelled as the two were blindfolded. Alden couldn't do anything but hold Maine's hand in hopes of comforting her from the inevitable suffering that will come to them.

Maine is panicking, she doesn't know what to say or do. "Alden?" she asked with her voice trembling. 

"I'm here Maine , don't worry" he replied. "Where are we? I'm scared"

"Don't be ... we'll get through this Maine ... I promise" Alden assured. Maine wants to believe that but there's just something about the danger this time that tells her they won't make it out alive easily. 

"Maine?" Alden asked.

"What?" 

"You know how much I love you, right?"

"Oh God Alden please don't do the goodbye talk with me. We'll make it out here alive" Maine answered, this time she's the one encouraging him to keep their hopes up. 

"I know ... but just in case something happens , I want you to know how much I love you" 

"Well then ... I love you too"

After Maine replied, the two of them heard the door open and a couple of feet walking in. "Here they are, mother" it's clear that it's Jack who's speaking. Maine held Alden's hand to stop herself form shaking. 

"Very good son .... very very good" 

"Who are we gonna kill first?" Jack asked enthusiastically. "Which one of them killed my love?" Evelyn Fetters then asked. 

"I did." Alden answered before adding "And I loved every second of it." in order to piss them off even more. 

"Really huh?" she asked before yanking his blindfold away. 

"Yeah" Maine can hear in his voice. "Alright then" Evelyn replied before Maine heard a gun revolved. The moment Evelyn pointed it right on Alden's forehead, Maine screamed at the top of her lungs.
