He's a monster and he knows that. He hates himself, why? Because he let go of the girl he only loves. He was smart but he's also stupid, and now, he'll do everything he can to retrieve what he thinks is originally his. Even if he defies his mother or the whole Norta nation just to be with her.

This Maven's POV during The Red Queen. "I guess it could've been worse. I could've been a Red." Maven: His mother wants him to rule almost as much as he does. She has a plan to make it happen too. He is only told a little bit at a time. Everything was simple until the Little Lightning Girl showed up. He began to fall in love with her. He still wants to crown more than anything. But now he wants her too. *Every picture I use is not mine. It's from the Internet.*

I do as he says. I kneel. ____________ He reaches to my collarbone from the loose collar of my torn bloody shirt. His fingers trace the lines that form an M . My brand I want to scream at his touch. It burns. It hurts. It blinds me. Maven continues to examine it with his fingers,aware that his touch is a torture to me,"You remember who gave you this?" He whispers. "You remember who owns you?" You don't own me ,Maven, I want to tell him. But as feeling this pain becomes unbearable,I tell him the answer he wants . Maybe he stops the pain. "You"I say. He smiles deeply,nodding his head. "I thought you being stubborn was intriguing, I have a hard choice now though."he says pulling away to retreat to his throne. "Obedience suits you better." _________________ Mare was a sword. She was the face of the rebellion. Now she's broken . Will someone pick up the pieces? Will her wounds ever heal?

FANFIC: MAVEN x MARE from RED QUEEN. Book focused on events from GLASS SWORD, but takes its own from there until the end. WARNING: Before reading, I want to get a few things straight. The characters, settings are all owned by Victoria Aveyard. I am a great fan of the Red Queen series, but after reading I still believe that Maven deserves something better that being a monster. I just can't shrug the feeling off that there's more to his side of the story. Aside from original scenes from the Glass Sword, I will be adding different story lines of my own. I know that many will criticize Maven and me for this, but hey every fan has the right to dream, right? AMAZING THANKS to Victoria Aveyard, the woman behind the amazing world of the Red Queen. Thank you for giving something to us.
