On another note, enjoy the story!

Chapter Ten – The Discussion

"America, we need to talk." Georgia said. Suddenly, I was worried and happy at the same time. I want to know what's going on, I've been looking for Georgia all day to find out however, I don't want anything bad to be going on.

"Sure, no problem. What's up?" Even though I am completely freaking out on the inside, I do my best to sound casual.

"Not here. Come with me." She takes me to a room I've never seen before, the surveillance room. The walls are painted black and the wall on the right is covered with screens playing the surveillance videos from every room in the building. In front of the screens there is this huge panel with a multiple warning signal triggers for every wing of the building. The panel is also equipped with a computer for anytime they need to playback security footage. To the left is an enormous map with multiple tacks holding on pictures and connecting red string across Ilea.

"What is this?" I ask pointing to the map.

"We'll get to that. Just sit, we have a lot to talk about." I sit down, and Georgia brings over another chair for her so that we are sitting face to face.

"I have a lot to tell you. I'm going to start from the beginning but I need you to try your best not to interrupt so that we can get through this as quick as possible. Got it?"

"Got it."

"It all started at the ceremony when Maxon chose Kriss. The Southern Rebels were planning an attack to sabotage the ceremony. We found them killing your guards and taking their armor. As you know, our ligancy is to Maxon, so we killed them and ruined their plans. However, the rest of their camp was furious, so they planned another, more brutal attack. Their plans weren't just to kill the Royal Family, they wanted to kill you and your family too. And they weren't just planning to kill the family, they wanted to take hostages. We got word of these plans and came to save you and the Royal Family hence the week you were stuck in a cell. However, we were too late and could only save you and your family- "

"What happened to Maxon!?" When I said this, you could hear the urgency in voice. I didn't even attempt to hide my worried tone. Is this the whole reason people are acting weird around me? Is Maxon dead?

"He is not dead, but he is in a lot of trouble."

"What? What kind of trouble?"

"I'm getting there! We were only able to save you, so the castle was attacked, with Maxon and his family in it. Maxon and Kriss made it to the safe room but King Clarkson was killed and Queen Amberly was captured. The Southern Rebels captured Queen Amberly knowing that Maxon would do anything to get her back. And sure enough, later that week the Queen was back in the castle."

"Wait…how did the rebels know that Maxon would do anything to get her back?"

"We aren't exactly sure, but we think that there is some sort of rat in the castle. We also think that Maxon made a deal with the Southern Rebels to get her back."

"What kind of deal?"

"We don't know, that's where you come in. We want you to become a spy for the Northern Rebels. Maxon trusts you. He'll tell you anything."

"Wait, does that mean...?"

"America, do you want to become a Northern Rebel?"

I really hope you enjoyed that chapter! Again, I am SOOOO SORRY for the late post…. again.
