His Red Queen

"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.
