Holding on

Struggling

Maxon's POV

I sit through the meeting, trying not to fall asleep when a guard busts through the door. "Your majesty!" He starts out of breath. "The rebels have attacked, two guards have been killed, and princess America is no where to be found." My heart stops. What if they... no I can't think like that. Maybe she is in the bathroom or something... I hope.

"Sound the alarms and get everyone to the safe rooms. We will try and find princess America later." My father orders and starts to push us out.

"No! I have to find America!" I yell.

"What did you say?!" He hisses in my ear.

"I said we have to find America! You know, my wife, the queen to be, your daughter in law!" I hiss back. I know I will have to pay for this later, but I would do anything for America.

"Look, I know your worried, but we can't have you hurt, can we?" He fakes. He pushes me in the safe room and gives me a look that says 'you will pay for this later.'

I sigh and watch the door, waiting for America to burst through the door. I wait for 3 or 4 hours worried sick when the t.v. goes off. I jump and look over.

I see America tied up in chains up against the wall. No no no! America! Why did this happen to her? She never did anything! Nothing would prepare me for what was about to happen next.

"Hello your majesty." A rebel sneered. "You may have noticed that we have your beautiful princess. As much as we enjoy having her here, we will return her. For a price of course. You know what we want and we expect to get it in 3 weeks." It is obvious of what they want. The diaries.

"If we don't, you will never see America again. The sooner you give it to us the better condition she will be in." They take a knife and press it on her leg till blood pours out on to the filthy ground. Tears pour out of my eyes. I look over to America and you can tell she is trying to stay strong, but if you look closely you can see the pain in her eyes. Anger and sadness fills my body.

"Maxon, I love you, never forget that. I'm sorry it had to be this way. Please, don't give them anything I'm not worth it." All I want to do is go over there and tell her she is worth it and to have her in my arms.

"I love you." I whisper even though she can't hear me. I know only one thing. I have to get her back, no matter what it takes.

Hey hope you enjoyed it. Sorry if it short. I have a dance tomorrow, so I may not get to update tomorrow.
