The One (A selection aftermath)

Chapter 20

Maples POV

Grant and 2 others ran in.
Harris knew the guards would escort him to Southerens office and that means no guards, guarding the entrance. I sit by Trey in the shadows waiting.
"Are you sure this will work?" I ask trying to keep my voice from shaking.
"Yes. 10o%."
"If something goes wrong, I will lose Harris and my parents and-"
"It will work." Trey says with a stern voice.
"Okay."
We sit for a minute and then Grant runs back out.
"Harris is in. We need to go now." He whispers.
I throw on my black cape and follow Trey and Grant in.
"Kane should be in the main kitchen waiting for you, Maple." Grant says.
Kane is a Northern rebel who is pretending to be a Southern rebel. Harris got in touch with Kane and he just happens to know the most important part of the plan.
He knows Where my parents are.
Well he thinks.
He says that he over heard Southeren saying he found them. I hope by 'them' he means my parents.
Grant points to a door. "That's the kitchen. Trey and I will stand guard."
I nod and open the door.
I am swallowed by darkness. I fumble for a light switch on the wall and turn it on.
The kitchen is vast, with the aroma of cookies. That is the last smell I would expect in a rebel compound. But then again what compound would have a nice kitchen like this? I am lost in my thought that I don't realize there is someone else in the room. Kane, I assume, is leaning against the counter with his arms cross.
He has brown hair that sweeps across his forehead and shinning blue eyes that look out of place with is black sweatshirt and ripped jeans.
"I am guessing your Maple the first?" He smirks.
"The one and only." I say still by the door.
"Well follow me then." he says walking to another door located by the fridge.
He looks around 18.
And I'm 17.
Wait why am I comparing ages?
I am in love with Harris.
But Kane's eyes are so-
"Hello? Earth to syrup."
I snap back shaking out of my thoughts.
"Wait did you just call me syrup?"
"Yah like, Maple syrup." He smiles.
He has dimples too.
Gosh Maple! Snap out of it!
we walk through the door and enter another dim room with another door.
"Ok so your parents are behind that door. I want to tell you how they got here and everything but they want to tell you." He says.
"Okay." My voice shakes. My parents are behind that door.
"I will be waiting here. Once you get your parents, Harris should of had lead Southern away and we can escape. Hopefully Sourthern hasn't figured out he is being distracted yet."
I nod and step toward the door.
Here goes nothing.
I creak it open and step in.
My breath gets caught in my throat.
"Mom. Dad."

A/n
Mom. Dad.
😱😱😱😱😱
Ok soo cliffhanger but now you are wondering what is going to happen next... Don't worry I have a lot planned.
And this chapter might have been confusing so I will explain-
America and Maxon never made it to the Northern rebels, they were kidnapped by the Southern. And Harris was distracting Southern by talking to him and a lot of guard were near by because last time Harris almost killed Southern...
And any thoughts about Kane?? Do you want Kane and Maple?
Or...
Harris and Maple?
Thanks again!!
