"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.

Thank you for reading! Enjoy! :)
This fanfic will start where the second book ended, this is fanfiction on King's cage how i would want it to be (even tho I know it's already out). It will mostly about how Mare was tortured, and about her and Cal. So it's Marecal.

I feel claustrophobic.
Now they flash in front of my eyes, Cal laying behind the bars when Maven pulled us down from the sky.
Then Kilorn's eyes, begging for me not to leave. Tears start to fall from my eyes. So I open them and look upwards and try to blink them away.
