America's POV:

After sitting for a while, I got up and headed inside. I went to my room when the rebel alarm sounded. I ran outside of my room and looked around. Why were they attacking so early? Wait- Maxon was outside just a few moments ago.. he could be in danger. When I found my group I waved at them to follow me "where are we going?" Ellie asked. "Maxon was outside we need to make sure he's ok." I whispered. She nodded and they followed me. We went outside and no one was there. Then the rebel alarm turned off and a guard came running back. He stopped in front of me. "I know what you're thinking. We're not southern rebels. We're northern. Where's king Maxon?" "He.. was caught. We tried our best to get him but failed." Those words made me feel like I got stabbed through my the heart. They're going to kill him if they haven't already. They will take over but more importantly he will be gone forever. I walked over to the group who stayed at the doors. "He's gone. We need to go find him." They nodded and we got on our way. The sooner we leave the better chances we have to finding him.

Maxons POV:

I was thrown onto the floor then put into a chair and when we got to their hideout. I was just lucky to still be alive. Then an older girl stood in front of me and talked "Ah, Maxon. You thought we would never catch you? You and the rest of the people that think you're good are idiots! Your father tore apart this country. Now you're gonna pay the price." She got out a gun and pointed it at my head. Then a loud noise came. BANG! But I was still alive. I looked to my right and America broke down the door with her group behind her. She had her gun out and she started shooting. Then the people behind her went and ran torwards them. They attacked them and the next thing I know someone's untying me. I get up and America's friend escorts me away. "Thank you." I say to her. I hope she knows how thankful I am. "No problem but we wouldn't have been able to save you without America." We go wait and then they all come out. "Are you ok?" America asks quickly as she runs torwards me. "Yes. You saved me." She smiled at me and then we made our way back to the castle.
