I was pacing around my room, extra guard were out front, but i was still paranoid. I locked my balcony door. Locked anything that could be entered though and sat on my bed. After sitting got old and my butt started to hurt i got up. I turned to my piano, maybe it could help. I started to play, but i kept missing the notes, my hands were shaking too bad. So i stood up and screamed in frustration, i must have screamed to loud, because in an instant a guard asked if i was okay, and i just waved him away. As soon as i did, i heard my balcony doors start to move, like someone was trying to get in. Then i screamed like heck, for real, and i shut down. I crumpled up into a ball in my closet, and sat there. It seemed like hours before someone entered my room.
"America darling its ok," i heard a soft voice in my ear, "nobody is going to hurt you." This brought me out of my trance. I opened my eyes, and i saw the caring face of Maxon. He looked worried. "Oh Maxon," i hugged him and started crying, "I'm so scared, i just want to go home. To my family, to May." He sucked in deep, "America, don't say that. You can't leave me, i can't live without you." his eyes started to get red. "If that's that's true why haven't you asked me to marry you yet?" i was hurt, but honestly wanted to know, "America," he stopped.
Cupped my face in his hand and kissed me ever so sweetly. I understood, but i still missed home, and my family. MY FAMILY!
"MAXON," i panicked, "If someone was in my room, looking for something and couldn't find it. Would they go after my family? Oh Maxon, they could be killed!" then i ran into his arms and started crying. "Don't worry, sweetie. I placed extra protection on them as soon as i found out." I looked up him eyes, "I'm still scared, how could they get into my room with a guard placed out front? Maxon, i don't feel safe in my own bedroom anymore." He looked down at me, and replied, "That's is exactly why i am moving you to the third floor, next to me. I could never sleep at night knowing you are in possible danger." I kissed him quickly and pulled him to the balcony.
We stood there, feeling the wind hit our faces. With his arms around my waist, everything felt right. The Angeles air felt glorious, for one moment in my crazy life, things felt normal. In the beautiful silence i could hear the rustling of the leaves on the trees. Of course this could't last long.
The sirens went off.
"Come on!" Maxon commanded, grabbing my arm. We ran towards the safe room, we were almost there. Then i felt Maxon's grip on my loosen. I turned and i was staring right into the face of a rebel. He was big, and burly. His face covered in black paint. I screamed he had Maxon and was dragging him towards a group of rebels. Maxon struggled but he was in head-lock, not much he could do. I was not letting them take him. I knew if they did he would DEFINITELY never come back alive, and if I died Maxon would go. But he was the only hope for Illea, and for the commoners to gain back their lives. So i ran after them, and cracked a vase over the man's head. It didn't phase him, he only paused for a second to smack me away, but i wasn't giving up. I bolted to get in front of them, and i pulled my leg back and let it go. I kicked him in the groin as hard as a girl can. He dropped to is knees, yelling in pain. I picked Maxon up and started heading towards the safe room. A guard came to help. We were at the door and i heard a gun go off. Then a scream. I turned around and saw blood on the ground. It took me a minute, then i realized that scream was mine, and that blood...was mine.
