Chapter 34:

The lights flickered on a few minutes later. People were still frantically pushing and shoving even though the lights were on. Nothing happened…not that I know of…

"MAXON!" someone yelled. I tried following the sound of the voice until spotting May frantically pointing to my left. "HELP HER!"

I turned swiftly to my left and saw a small band of rebels rushing out of the room. Then I saw the figure in white thrown over one of their shoulders. "AMERICA!" I exclaim and try shoving my way through the crowd. She stirs slightly and I pursue them through the crowd. But the distance is becoming greater and greater. "STOP THEM! DON'T LET THEM OUT!"

Guards pour around them but one manages to escape. His dark head disappears into the cold night. I recognize him immediately as Officer Leger, even if his hair is slightly overgrown.

"Release her." one of the guards snaps. Reluctantly he releases her and I cradle her in my arms.

"Do what you must." I tell absently, walking away with her.

A shadow of a bruise rest near her left temple and her dress…the dress her maids worked on for weeks, was dirty. But thankfully it could be fixed and wasn't torn or anything.

"Maxon! Maxon!" my Mother exclaims coming to my side.

"She's unconscious." I tell her as she approaches. "Can we get her upstairs right now?"

"We'll have to try but it may be a hassle." she says as we make our way towards the doors.

People have calmed down a bit but they were all clinging to each other for dear life. Celia and Kamber, the people America told me were friends from home, looked frightened beyond belief. But Celia was trying to tell me something with her eyes. I tilted my head for her to approach and she swiftly dashed up.

"What's the matter, my dear?" I asked her softly as we walked up the steps.

"It's just…well…" she stuttered. "I…"

"Why don't you tell me later? When you're not so frightened?" I told her.

She nodded her head and went back down the stairs. Poor girl, I thought, obviously not so strong.

The soft, wet cloth soothed me as someone placed it on my forehead. I cracked my eyes open slightly to find Maxon leaning over me. "Quite the nurse you've turned into." I said softly.

He smiled sadly. "I'm sorry this happened. I knew that I shouldn't have left you." His fingers traced the side of my head and rested on my cheek. "Does it hurt?"

I gave him a small smile and shook my head. "No." I said. "But I do feel the bruise."

His eyes shifted to the soft spot on my head. "It does look rather painful." he admits. "Thank God it wasn't anything serious."

I slowly sat up and peered in the mirror across from my bed. To be honest I was expecting worse but I could faintly see the bruise resting above my temple. Glancing down at my clothes they must've swapped my- probably ruined - dress for a silk nightgown. My hair was also damp, as if they bathed me a few hours ago.

"So, Mr. Nurse," I asked leaning back, "How long would you say I'm out for?"

"You are not doing anything for the next six months." he told me. When I opened my mouth to protest he held up his hand. "I don't care what you say; you're not leaving this palace except for your doctor's appointment tomorrow."

I groaned. "Doctor's appointment?"

"Yes missy." he says matter-of-factly. "You've been damaged way too much."

"You make me sound like a suit of armor." I grumble.

"But a very beautiful one." he says seductively. "Only I had to find the pretty woman hiding inside."

I look at him through my eye lashes. "You're becoming quite the flirt Maxon Schreave."

He takes my hand and kisses it. "Nay. I've just been feeling more comfortable around you."

"Oh?" I ask. "How so?"

He scoops me up in his arms and cradles me like I'm three. "Do you need a reason?" he asks nuzzling his face in my neck.

"No," I say breathlessly.

He places me back softly on the bed and sighs. "Now get some sleep." he orders. "I don't want you tired for tomorrow."

"Where are you going? And why not?" I ask curiously.

"I am not sleeping in the same room with you when I'll just toss and turn in bed. And two," his eyes sparkle for a moment, "You'll have to wait and see."

I watch as he retreats into his bedroom before switching off the light by my bed. The only light comes from the moon rising in the distance and the twinkling stars in the sky. But I feel cold and alone watching the nighttime sky illuminate with the millions of tiny stars. I don't even realize I let out an audible whimper until it escapes my mouth. The door to his room cracks open and he peers through. "Are you alright?"

I shake my head. "No."

He swiftly comes over and kneels beside my bed. "What's wrong? I've left you for two minutes and you're upset. You only left me time to switch into pajama pants." My eyes run over his defined torso and then back up to his face. "No, no, no America. You're a slippery little one." He stands up and I frantically grasp his hand.

"Wait!" I exclaim clutching his hand. "That's not what I was thinking. Well not at first."

"Then what's wrong, darling?" he asks kneeling back down.

"Please stay." I say. "I can't bear to be away from you right now."

He hesitates for a second but nods. "Alright. But don't get any ideas!"

After lifting the covers and sliding in next to me, his warms arms envelope me in a hug and I rest my head on his shoulder. I feel the warmth of his lips as he kisses the tender spot on my head and I don't even flinch.

"Goodnight America." he says softly in my ear.

I wrap one of my arms across him and pull his closer. He really is just a giant teddy bear, or at least I think that.

"Goodnight Maxon."

I'm sorry it was short but I promise more tomorrow! My hand isn't the best right now and it took me a while to write this page! But I will write a lot for you guys tomorrow because I already started the next chapter! So sorry again!
