Maxon's POV...
After America falls asleep I turn on the recording of the report so I can see what all happened. I fast forward to the part where I'm walking out of the room. I watch the rest of it when I wasn't there. I wanted to turn it off so many times. Wait! (Rewinds tv) He wanted her to sign divorce papers!! But she said no so he caned her!! What the!! I finish watching it and then turn the tv off. The people are going to have a field day. Great... I kiss America on the forehead and then I go back to my room.
The next morning...
I walk into America's room expecting her to still be sleeping but she's up and her maids are cleaning her wounds.
Aspen's POV...
I'm hanging out with Tanner, Brandon, and Renee (officer Johnson) outside on our break. Tanner is telling us about what happened in the report yesterday. "Divorce papers!" Renee exclaims. "Yep, " Tanner says. "I can't believe the king did that, " I say. "I know right!" Brandon says. "I had to take her to the hospital wing and her arms were terrible, " Tanner says. "How many times did he cane her?" I ask. "Like 10 but rapid-fire so I can't even imagine the pain, " Tanner responds. I grimace. We hear gunshots so we scurry to our feet and Renee runs to press the rebel alarm.
Maxon's POV...
The rebel alarm sounds and I run to America's office. She isn't there she must've finished her work early. I run down to the safe room. She isn't there. My parents are. My mom isn't speaking to my dad. I wonder why. A few minutes go by and she's still not down here. I go to run back upstairs and my dad grabs me. "I'll be damned if you're going up there, " my dad barks. "And I'll be damned if she stays up there!" I grunt. I get free of his arms and I bolt upstairs. I hear my dad tell guards to come after me. I run upstairs and I finally see America. She crying and squirming and screaming. Two rebels are holding her up by arms. And they have a tight grip right below her shoulders. "Where are the king!" one bark. About 5 guards come and pull me downstairs. I out up my best fight. America keeps saying that she won't tell them. I cry out for her and I get dragged back to the safe room. How are there no guards coming to help her?
America's POV...The dress I'm wearing is not helping my situation but at least it's not floor-length. Maxon comes to try to save me but guards drag him back down. Both the rebels fall to the ground. Me as well since they were holding me between them. Brandon and Tanner pull me to my feet. Aspen comes running. My arms are burning. Aspen carries me down to the safe room. Brandon and Tanner cone as well. We walk into an argument between Maxon and Clarkson. They see us and their voices fall silent. Aspen puts me down. Maxon rushes over to me as soon as he sees me. He hugs me. He puts his hands on my cheeks. "Oh my gosh America are you okay, " he breathes. I nod. He convinces me to lay down and rest. "Dad the rebels wanted you dead...America put herself on the line to save you!" Maxon whisper yells to the king. The King is silent.
Later that day...
Maxon comes into my room to talk to me. "Hey darling so after multiple protests, petitions, and more my dad has no choice but to step down as King and go through a caning, " he says. My mouth drops open. "And the people are insisting you do the caning, " he says. My face falls. I nod. "Ok, " I say. "Wait you'll do it?" he asks shocked. "Yes." "Ok then." "Maxon?" "Yes?" "I don't want to be Queen." "Why?" "I'm not good enough." "America that's my dad talking you'll be the best queen." "really?" "Of course darling."Hope you enjoyed this chapter!!
