Chapter three

I spent the rest of the day deciding what to do for my challenge schedule. I decided to go to only half of the cities. That way I would be able to spend more time at each. This is my schedule: (these are not the real names; they are just the ones that I picked)

Tuesday: 10:00 Illinois, 1:00 West Virginia, 3:30 Virginia, 6:00 Mississippi

Wednesday: 10:00 Missouri, 1:00 Wisconsin, 3:30 Maine, 6:00 Pennsylvania

Thursday: 10:00 New York, 1:00 New Jersey, 3:30 Delaware, 6:00 Washington

Friday: 10:00 Alabama, 1:00 Hawaii, 3:30 Oregon, 6:00 Alaska

I sighed and stretched my fingers. I was tired and decided to lay down for a nap only to be greeted my nightmares.

I looked down only to find a white glittery shape instead of my body. Then I looked up and saw the very thing I didn't want to see right now. Kriss and Maxon . They were sitting at our bench. Our bench. I felt anger fill up inside me and walked (more like floated) forward to see what they were talking about. "oh Maxon" Kriss giggled. "You are just the sweetest. I love you so much." "I love you to my dear, very so." he responded kissing her hand. "What about America, do you still like her?" kriss asked with a worried face. "oh my dear, she is long gone from my love life. She is arrogant, rude, untrustworthy, and ugly, unlike you." I felt my heart break and sadly he continued.

"Unlike you my dear. You are beautiful, a wonderful listener, and respectful. You will make a wonderful wife."

Then my dream changed. Right in front of me was the King. "Here that girl!" he shouted at me. "He hates you! The only reason he kept you around was because he like to play with your feelings. He never loved you! You are just a silly little girl who doesn't what you are doing!"

Then my mind swirled. Maxon words repeating again again and again with voices I knew: Aspen, May, my mom, dad, Kriss, Celeste, the Queen, King, and finally Maxon. I woke up screaming and heard my door opened and with all of my heart I hoped it was Maxon. Sadly, it was just the a guard that was guarding my door. It was 12:33 and I had slept through dinner "Are you okay miss" asked me. "Yes I am fine I replied just nightmares." I replied. "know if you would excuse me, I need to get some fresh air" and I swept out of the room. I ran through the halls strait for the garden. I ran to our bench or what I hoped was still our bench. Then I cried. I cried for my sadness, my little bit of hope, and Maxon. Mostly Maxon.

I was there for an hour, and then finally went back to my room. Thankfully, I didn't have any more nightmares. I finally got fell asleep only to be woken up what seemed like a second later. I groaned and sat up. "My lady, are you okay?" Annie, my maid, asked. I looked down and realized I had grass stains on my dress. I hadn't changed into my nightgown last night. I got up and walked up to my mirror and looked at my reflection. I had tears that were dried on to my face, my mascara (since when I laid down I thought I would still be going to dinner I hadn't prepared for bed at all) was all messed up, and there was no where where there wasn't a knot in my hair. I grimaced then turned around. Annie was still looking at me and I realized that I had not answered her question. "No I am just fine. I am just must have hurt myself in my sleep" I lied. I knew that it wasn't even close to believable, but she seemed convinced. I sighed and turned around. I wasn't feeling well at all. I could feel my heart starting to slowly ripe into two as I remembered my nightmare I knew that there was only one thing that could fix it, Maxon. And there was no way that I was going to lose that solution. Elise, Celeste, Kriss you better get out of my way. I am in love and will be as good as dead if I let that love slip away from me.
