I walked into my room. I opened the windows to see the large palace below me. I can't believe what I just did. My mind was racing, replaying the argument all over again. 

My mother's going to find out. She's going to know that I let them go.  

I decide to go find Mare. I knew it was late but I had to talk to her. I couldn't stop thinking about her. 

***

"Farley wants me to pick targets," I told Mare. She was looking outside of the window in the hallway. 

"How did you talk to her? Did you read my letter?" She says angrily. 

I pause. I don't want her to be mad at me. 

"Maven!

"Sorry, Mare." 

"Maven, who did you tell her?" 

"Just some Silvers," I tell her. 

"What happens if they find out?" 

"Well, we will both be traitors to the throne. We will be criminals." I tell her. 

Traitors to the throne. Traitors to the throne. 

Am I a traitor to the throne? 

I was friends with a red. I was in love with a red. And I killed him. 

No matter how hard I try, Thomas is always in my mind. 

And now the cycle is repeating itself. Mare is a red. I know I'm not supposed to have feelings for her but I do. Mother tried to erase them but it didn't work. 

I'm in love with another red. 

And somehow I am praying that history doesn't repeat itself. 

here is another chapter! this is in maven's point of view. i wanted to take a little break from juliet's pov ahaha. sorry that this chapter is so short!
