Broken

Chapter 5: The Report

**Americas POV

I had spent the majority of the day in the women's room, at 5:00 I went up to my room to get ready for dinner. But as soon as I got back to my room my headache came back, so I decided to lay down for a bit. I flopped down on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.

What felt like hours later Maxon came into the room and says "hello my dear? Is everything all right?"

"Hi Maxon, and yes everything is fine." I say getting up my head still hurting a little bit.

"Oh okay I was just checking" he says and goes to the bathroom to get into his outfit for the report which is what will happen after dinner.

After Maxon is done I do the same. I am wearing a dark blue gown with silver sparkles running down one side. I walk out of the bathroom and Maxons says "well hello there gorgeous."

"Oh stop it" I say a playful smile on my face.

After dinner we walk into the great room which is were the report is being recorded. There hadn't been to much that had happened this week so Maxon was just going to update everyone about how things are going....pretty bland.

At 8:00 we were all in our chairs and ready to start. Finally the camera man started counting down "and were live in 3.... 2..... 1...." he says and the button on the camera turns red. The bright lights shinning in my face don't help to much with my headache but it was bearable so I just ignored it.

And then everything went down hill.....

About 15 min into the report the windows shattered sending glass flying everywhere. I stood up but couldn't find Maxon I assumed he was already on his way to the safe room, I started making my way there when I heard a rough voice say "your not going anywhere my queen" I turn around but a hand comes over my mouth before I can say anything.

It was complete chaos. Guards were battling rebels, rebels were running around breaking, and stealing stuff. So no one noticed when that rebel came up from behind me and snatched me.

I was kicking and screaming. But no heard my cry's because he had gaged me and had my hands tied behind my back. I couldn't believe this was happening.

The rebel dragged be outside the palace and threw me to the ground. "Stay here...or you will regret it" he spat

I sat there in the dirt of the garden under a tree. I debated weather I was actually going to listen to him or if I was going to try and run. In the end the rebel came back before I could make up my mind.

"GET UP!" He yelled at me. I tried to stand but it was very hard seeing as my hands were tied together. He ended up just pulling me off the ground.

He pulled me over to a big group of rebels and they said something among themselves but couldn't hear what they said exactly.

My head was pounding at this point, one of my heals was on the verge of breaking I just knew it, and the hem of my dress was destroyed.

After they were all done talking a different rebel came up to me and said "well aren't you beautiful tonight...." and then hit me over the head with a wooden stick.

Then it was dark....

**Maxons POV

As soon as the windows shattered I knew we were under attack. I turned to look for America but one of the guards whisked me away before I could find her.

I assumed that another guard would make sure America would make it to the safe room....

I was wrong....

When I got to the safe room America wasn't there yet so I plopped down in a chair and rested my head in my hands. "Lord please let America me safe" I whispered to myself.

After a good 15 mins I started pacing. Were in the world is she? I started to get worried. A guard comes into the room "king Maxon?" I turn at the sound of my name "yes?" I ask.

He looks around the room. "Sir, were is Queen America?" He asks

"You mean you don't know where she is?" I say getting really worried now. "I assumed that a guard took her to a different safe room..." I said

"I'm sorry sir but I have had no reports of anyone taking Queen America to a safe room." He says

My heart sinks. "What?!?" I say my face falling as I do.

"Your majesty I am so sorry I will alert all of the guards to find her immediately" he says

I nod and dismiss him. I can't believe I was stuck in here. Safe. When America was who knows were and could be in danger.

** 1 hour later

The head guard comes in and says "the danger has passed sir. The rebels fled quickly after one of us fired a shot" he said

I nod "what about America?" I ask not really caring about anything else.

He shakes his head "we have not found her yet your majesty but there are still small safe rooms to be checked." He says

I look at the floor "thank you for informing me. Please alert me first if you find her or get any news" I say and leave the room.

When I get back to my room I pace back and forth for at least 45 min when I finally decide to go tale a walk and clear my head. At this point it is almost 10 pm but I didn't care.

I walked into the gardens and found a bench. I sat down and watched the leaves sway in the wind. I sat there and thought about what kind of danger America was in but I couldn't bare the thought for to long.

After about 30 min a guard comes and finds me...

"Your Majesty we have some news on Queen America..." he says
