            Everyone ate dinner and went to bed. Skylar woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. She gets up and walks to the balcony. She hears the door to her room open and turns to see Jack.

          "You still up?" She asked. The second she said that she knew it was a stupid question. Jack never sleeps, and even when he is dead tired, it is ridiculously difficult to get him to sleep.

         "Yeah." He said. "Why are you up?" He walked up to her.

         "I can't sleep." She looked up at the stars. "I remember everything.. about being a princess." She said as she started to tear up. The last thing she wanted was to be a princess. Especially a red headed one.

          "Don't cry." Jack said plainly. "I don't know what to do around crying women."

           She gives a small laugh.

         "Goodnight Sky. Try to get some more sleep." With that, Jack walked out.

         Skylar stood on the balcony for a little bit longer then walked back inside her room. She heard a quiet knock on her door. Before she could answer, a man walked in. How this guy got past Jack, no one knows. Seriously though, no one gets past Jack.

         "Hello Skylar..." The man said in a deep voice.

         "Who are you!?" She yelled.

          "Shhh.... you don't want the others to get hurt, do you?" The man gave her an evil smile.

         She looked down. "What do you want?" She asked.

         "I want you." He said. "If you don't come with my and comply to all my terms, my son will die."

          Skylar then realized who it was. It was Maxon's dad. She hated Maxon, but she didn't want him to die. She sighed and agreed to go with him.

         That morning, Bella went to Skylar's room to wake her up.

        "Sky, breakfast is.....Sky?" She looked around, for she didn't see Skylar in her bed. When she didn't see her, she went downstairs. "Guys." She said.

        "What?" Thomas asked.

         "Sky is gone." She told them.

        "How? She was here last night." Jack put in.

        "Guys!" Maxon holds up a letter with a seal. "I know who has her." He sounded angry.

          They all started planning on going to war, (Maxon had had enough of his father) but they needed to be cautious. Maxon had Jack scout ahead. He comes back after getting rid of  the soldiers out front. They then headed into town.

          "Thomas, go inside the castle and take out the guards by all the doors." Maxon ordered. 

            He turned invisible and did as he was told. He came back some minutes later and told them it was all clear.

            "I got rid of all the gaurds except the ones near the throne room." Thomas said.

             "Skylar isn't in the dungeon." Rosie added as she came running up after checking. 

             "Alright." Maxon said. "Lets go." He said, and they walked to the throne room. 

             Jack took out the gaurds effortlessly and they all walked in.

           "How did you get past my guards?" The king paused. "Doesn't matter now anyway." He laughs and Maxon sees Skylar sitting next to his father. She looked fine, but she had a tear streaming down her cheek.

            "You like my bride-to-be son?" The man gave an evil grin towards Maxon.
