America's POV: I saw a bunch of guards pointing guns at me. The one in the lead had green eyes that I recognized. I don't think he realized it was me because he shot at me but I quickly moved away. The others started shooting at me and I was extremely lucky to go without getting shot when I got to a part of the wall that went in where there was a bench. I got on top and stood against the wall breathing heavily. Where was Maxon? I just hoped he was ok. I mean, they seemed to not be against me like the others because aspen was there and if he was he must of known it was me. But why did they come so alarmed? I Heard footsteps coming but before they got to where they could see me, I yelled out. "Wait! Please! I don't want to harm anyone! Please just don't shoot me!" I held my hands up to the side where they could see them. "Go grab her. Put her in handcuffs too. Then take her to a cell." One said. All I knew was that it wasn't aspen, thank god, but still. Aspen came around the corner seeing me. I think he could tell I was terrified. "Mer?" I nodded. "Please I don't care if you put me in a cell, I guess you kind of have to, but don't let them know who I am. I need to get back to my room to get my outfit. They shouldn't recognize me then. He nodded then spoke to them " I got this. Just go make sure everyone is ok." I heard footsteps going away and then he pulled me into the hallways quickly going to my room. The sirens were not going off anymore but the rebels were still here. When I got there he helped me out. I got dressed in the bathroom and then he came in. "You look so different, Mer." " I know but i am a rebel. This is me now." "You're a rebel?!" He asked confused and astonished. "Yes but not a southern but still not northern. There's a group in between called the central rebels. I started it. We don't kill but we do hurt people only if someone is at risk or something like that." I put on my belt with everything in it and quickly put on a piece of fabric that went over my mouth with bands that went around my ears. It made me look more mysterious and stealthy. Finally I grabbed colored contacts and put them in my eyes. I also grabbed some hair dye and colored my hair brown. I was now someone completely different. They shouldn't recognize me. I then walked out of my room with aspen holding me looking like he captured me. We then walked down the stairs to get to the cells then he put me in the nicest one. "Sorry, Mer. I will try and get Maxon as soon as possible. Just don't escape. The guards can seriously hurt you." " I think I'll be fine, aspen." He winked at me and then closed the door and locked it.

Maxon's POV:

The guards started shooting and I don't think she was shot. It was such a shock because I forgot about them that I didn't say anything. It also went very fast. A guard took me to the safe room while all I could think about was America. "Please... don't... shoot.." I could hear America in the distance a little but I couldn't make out very much. Later after they said it was ok to go back, I went to my office and only minutes later officer ledger came in. "Your majesty.." He said out of breath. "America... she's in the cells. The guards got her but I was able to get her back to her room and disguise her. She's ok." "Take me there. I want to go now." I wanted to see America. The last time I saw her, everyone was trying to kill her. Somehow she was still alive. We made our way down to the cells when we stopped in front of a cell with a girl laying on the bench. She had brown hair and was wearing the same clothes I found her in when I saw her for the first time since the selection. Only this time she had something covering in front of her chin to the bottom of her nose. Even looking like this, she was still beautiful.
