The One Extention

The Culprit

Chapter 3-The Culprits- America's POV

Maxon and I were talking about who we thought it was.  He though more southern rebles, but we stopped them already. I was trying to remember who would have been able to get in the palace, when I got a flashback.

After I was made queen, Maxon and I turned around. Everyone was bowing and smiling for us. I didn't realize until now that Elise was smiling wickedly and didn't run.

I blurted out "Elise."

"What?" Maxon asked confused.

"It was Elise."

"Why do you think that, my dear?"

"Did you see her when we tured around? She was smiling diabolicaly and didn't run when whoever broke in did brake in."

Everyone is dismissed!" Maxon announced to everybody.

All the people in the room waited until Maxon and I left. I got nervous! What if I was wrong? What if she was just shocked and couldn't move? What if I read her smile wrong? What if's played in my head all the was to a smaller conference room.

" My dear, is something wrong?"

" I need to see May and Gerad . "

" Ohh yes, so stupid of me. Lets find them. Hang on. "

At the moment I realized we were being followed by a couple gaurds and a maid. Maxon talked to the maid, and she started walking away. This made me so angry I just about screamed at her when Maxon grabbed my hand. He proceed to pull me after her.

After she stopped and curtsyed, I heard a cry from behind a door. It sounded like May! I ran forward with Maxon right on my heels. I threw open the door to find May wearing a sling and having a black eye.

" May! What happened?" my eyes tearing up and spilling over. Maxon tiped his head to mine and kissed the tears away. I hear May giggle.

She sang Maxon and America sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G first comes love then comes marriage then comes a baby in a baby carriage

"Now, that is the May I know" Maxon teased. This time I laughed.

" What seriously happened?"

"Some gaurd elbowed me in the eye, and knocked me down. He just looked at me, laughed, and went and got the other girls from the Selection.  Aspen saw me and took me to a safe room with Lucy and her father." May whispered.

I could sense Maxon's anger. " May, we will be back." he yelled yanking me back out the door. He practically sprinted to his office and ordered every gaurd and Selection girl in the palace to the Great Room,NOW!!

He waited about one minute until the sound of men's boots and girl's heels cease. He got up kissed me. Then tugged me to the Great Room.

***

When we got to the Great Room, Maxon went to get Aspen, and I went to grabed one of the Selected. Tiny was the closest one. I told her I needed to talk to her.

I walked to Maxon and he told he to have all the gaurds stand in a line. I didn't have a clue how to do it, but I walked to the platform in the front of the room.

I stood there for what felt like forever till someone in the room saw me. Tons of people blushed, but immediately they all bowed/curtsyed. I took the time while they were bowing/curtsying and spoke, "All gaurds get in line formation and stand at attention."

They all stood up and got in a perfecty straight line. I couldn't believe it! I did this! They stayed when I went back for Maxon.

He was talking with Tiny. He asked her if she saw who took them to the safe room? She had no clue.

"Maxon?"

"What."

" They are ready. Come."

"Men, I have been told that one of my gaurds pushed a little girl down. If you don't step forward now the punishment will be loads worse..(no one stepped forward).. Let me restate myself,  if one of you don't come forward you will all be doing laps around the palace till one of you confesses."

Again, no one stepped forward. Maxon ordered the gaurds to run around the palace until he called for them to stop or someone confesses. They started bowed and started walking out.

Mazon yelled" Did I say walk?" all of them sped up. The selected started leaving until I said" Freeze. We need to ask you some questions. "

They all spun around and sat down. We asked them if they knew who it was. We got the same answer that Tiny gave us. Next stop was May.
