Sorry I have not updated in a while, life just got in the way and I just did not have enough time to write and upload it. Even though I had very little time in my schedule I have been thinking about where I want this story to go, and I decided that this story is for you. That makes me wonder what you want out of this story, so I want you to write me suggestions on what you want in the story.

Also this chapter is dedicated to Lglz, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I know that I haven't written since last year, and I'm happy that you reached out to me to write again, otherwise I would have not touched this story in a while so thank you.

AMERICA POV

I didn't have enough time to respond with a witty comeback, since there was a loud and audible boom on the other side of the room. We all turned to see- Prince Maxon

and Prince Aspen with no guards, no weapons, and no protection what so ever. What in the world is wrong with them?! I mean these are southern rebels, as they call

themselves, they are lethal and brutal. They could be killed in ten seconds flat! My hope to escaping is very on the verge of dying.

"Well lookie here, two royals that want to rescue just one girl, if it weren't so obvious I would say that you both love this girl just like all the other girls in past selections. You know with this reoccurring over again your subjects may start to get suspicious of your little family. Maybe you should start finding your own princesses to love instead of the same one again and again, there may be another family feud like the last thirty-four years. Everyone knows there is a royal secret, even though they don't know, they are very suspicious and don't really trust you." The sick excuse of a man, starts circling around me, my back is burning with the untreated cuts. Blood is still trickling down my back and dripping on the floor, black spots are dancing in my vision, the smell of the drying blood was making me sick. Maybe is I just close my eyes and take a nap...

"Mer! Don't close your eyes! Just a little bit longer please."

I couldn't decipher who said it, but I knew that the pleading voice wanted me to stay awake. I tried to pry my eyes open to see what is going on, but I could only see out of the slits of my eyes. Breathing was becoming a task that I was focusing on to stay awake, chanting in my head, "just a little bit longer."

BAM! A gunshot rang throughout the room, and the thud of a body falling on the floor. I was so scared of who it was, since I wasn't paying attention to the ongoing conversation. I felt myself being lifted off the ground and being moved to what I perceived as the door to the cell. I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore, so I fell into a deep darkness of sleep.

-Line Break-

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP... What is that sound? I pry open my eyes to see a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectants around me. I don't know where I am and start to panic, the beeping noise starts to race. My vision is getting blurry and I felt dizzy. Shouts of confusing words were so close, so loud, my head was pounding. A sharp pain in my arm was felt, and I started feeling drowsy. I then felt a wonderful state of darkness and numbing feeling around me.

-Few Hours Later-

"My dear, I wish you would wake up to allow me to see your beautiful eyes. It has been so dull without you keeping me company, I have already eliminated a few of the girls already, I just wish I only had to spend time with you and not the others." The voice sounded too sad and so far, away from me. It feels like an angel was talking to me, with that beautiful voice. I wanted to get closer to the angelic voice, but I couldn't because of the haziness around me. It's as if I take a step forward, the voice tales a step back.

"I really want you to be awake right now, but that will only happen if you would just open your eyes. Please my darling, come back to me. It has been a week now since the nurses gave you a sedative, yet it feels like a thousand years. I was so excited that you woke up, but so scared when I was told that you were panicking and almost had a heart attack. Ever since I heard that I came rushing over here to see you, and now every day I take the time to come here to see if you have awoken from your slumber. I know it's silly, but it gives me great comfort to hear your heart monitor beeping."

I felt like crying. The angelic voice was saying such sweet things to me with such sorrow, and I didn't want the sweet voice to be so agonized by the pain I brought him by me being unconscious. I take a few steps forward, and the voice doesn't step back. I take a few more until I'm right next to it, and I felt the pain of everything that has happened to me all over again. Gasping in pain, I open my eyes and shoot up in a hospital bed. I turned to my left where i felt the presence of someone. As I look to see who had the voice of my angel, and it was-

I am so evil! I hoped that all my lovely readers enjoyed this chapter. It has been long overdue, and I will let you know that I have not given up on this story yet. Also as I said in the beginning, this is your story as much it is mine so tell me your suggestions. Have a wonderful life, until the next time I update which will be soon. Farewell!
