Afraid of what his mother could turn him into, Maven looks for the only person who can save him. Mare's lost after Maven's betrayal. Even through Cal is with her, Mare's mind constantly drifts to the boy king. She longs for the boy she loved, but she won't turn her back on her people. Set after Red Queen. It is Mareven and possibly Cameron x Cal (comment how you feel on that ship) VERY MINOR CUSSING. Cover made by: GuardiaN_of_SecretS Best ranking: 3 in Red Queen 1 in Farley 1 in Maven 1 in Mare

"Do you want me to live?" I choke the words out, nearly a sob, head pounding. Maven steps into my cell and this time I do not move away. I stay in my place on the cold ground, waiting to see how he responds. He stops right in front of me, crouching down. He puts a hand out to push the hair out of my face and I let him. He is oddly gentle and an unreadable expression takes over his face. "Of course I do," he finally says, an inkling of pain on his pale face. "And I can have you live." This is my take on what would have happened if Mare chose Maven in the Bowl of Bones.
