Remember the time when the rebels had attacked twice and America had to run… This is another version of that, but little later.(Weeks after America saw Celeste and Maxon kissing )

America's POV

All I heard were gunshots and screaming. I looked at Maxon. "RUN AMERICA!" he screamed. That's when I realized that was my only option. I ran as fast as I could to the forest. I slipped a few times because of my shoes. I just ignored them and ran. I began to slow down after a couple minutes. I panted heavily. Then I heard loud footsteps coming towards me.

"WHO'S THERE?"I yelled. There was no response. I decided to keep running. I heard another gunshot. Along with that I felt a sharp pain on my shoulder. I WAS SHOT! I knew someone was there. I tried ignoring the pain but it didn't work. I came across a giant tree. I sat on the bottom and sighed. That's when I heard several footsteps. Damn it. I thought. I stayed under the tree soundlessly. The footsteps became louder and louder. I turned around to see if there was anyone behind me. It was Kota.

"Your majesty" Kota whispered and attempted a bow. I glared at Kota.

"What are you doing here Kota!" I yelled.

"Oh, I'm just here for you…" he said. I nervously looked around. Many men came closer to me. Some had guns and some had daggers.

"Where the hell did these men get the guns?" I choked out.

"Baby sis, I told you, we are all here to… What's the word… Oh yes, kidnap you!" he said.

"You've got to be kidding me" I said nervously.

"Oh you think I'm kidding! I'll show you" with that he pulled out a gun and shot me right on the thigh. "You're coming with me baby sis" he said. Suddenly everything went dark.

Maxon's POV

"America!" I screamed. She has to be around here somewhere! The guards and I kept searching throughout the forest. We searched until it became evening.

"Your highness, the King might be worrying. We should go back. Lady America is not important. You are the one we need" my father's advisor said.

"No we must keep searching!" I protested. "She is the one that I loved" I mumbled.

"Your majesty , we must head home now." The advisor demanded.

"You are not the king or prince. You do not give orders to the prince. Would you like me to tell my father that you have treated me unacceptably? You will most likely be stripped of your cast." I threatened him. No matter what my father told me, I must keep searching for America. I cannot bear to see her in the dark without food, without protection. I kept searching and I found a trail of blood. Did America get hurt? I lead the guards to the blood trail and we followed it.

"Look!" Officer Legar yelled. It was a village. The blood trail continued. It led us to a house. The guards burst the doors open and there were many guns and books.

"This must be where America is!" the advisor said. We went deeper into the house and there was America. She was in a cell. Her breathing sounded unstable. She had bandages wrapped around her thigh and shoulder. The bandages had blood stained on them.

"Your majesty, what shall we do?" the guards asked.

"We need to get her out of this cell. I want her to be at home. Safe." I demanded. The guards kept searching for the key and as soon as they found it, they opened her cell.

"Maxon?" a weak voice called. " I'm here America, we'll get you back home" I responded. A faint smile appeared on her face. I smiled back. I carried her back to the palace and put her in the hospital wing.

"Oh my goodness, what happened!" the doctor asked.

" She was found in a rebel home. Luckily there were no rebels there but we fear that she has some wounds." The advisor said. "Your majesty, you must go to the king. He is waiting for you. He will see you in his office." America's maid said.

"Alright…" I said and I headed to my father's office.

"Maxon, why have you come so late?" my father demanded.

"I needed to find America." I said.

"You should've come earlier. Gavril was here for the Report. He couldn't film because you weren't here. He will come back tomorrow. Tell the girls.

"Yes father…" I mumbled. I first stopped at Kriss's room.

"Kriss…" I said.

"Maxon!" she said as she gave me a tight hug. " I thought you were dead!" she said as she started tearing up.

"I came here to tell you that Gavril will come back tomorrow to film the Report." I headed for the door but Kriss stopped me.

"Maxon, didn't you hear me, I thought you were DEAD! I couldn't bear that thought…" she said and she started hysterically sobbing.

"Kriss, I have to go to the other girls…" I whispered. I left the room. I hope the other girls aren't like that. I finally had one more girl left. Celeste.

"Celeste?" I whispered.

"Maxon?" she said happily. She was literally half naked. I gave her a look.

"Oops, sorry, I was changing." She said. I appeared that she was dressing very slowly. That's when she asked for something…

"Maxon can you get my bra strap? I think it's tangled" she said as she "struggled" to un-strap it.

"Celeste, I come back later… It's just I can't…"I said. I headed to the door when she called for me.

"Maxon no, wait!"She said and she turned around and our eyes met. There was a half naked girl, showing her breasts.

"Celeste…you're umm…" I immediately looked down.

"Oh, I don't mind" she said proudly. "I hope it's okay with you."

"I just came to say that Gavril is coming tomorrow. I wasn't here to have sex. Goodnight." I spat as I left. I left because I was very tempted. We could've done it and get away with it but I could've.

"Maxon?" a gentle and weak voice called out.

"Celeste, I told you I won't do it."I said in a firm and strict voice.

"Eww, DO WHAT?" I heard the same voice say, "Maxon, were you and Celeste planning to do it while I was gone?" she said in a harsh voice.

"America?" I yelped with joy.

So, how was that? I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry for the cliff-hanger! Next chapter coming soon!
