me: This chapter was really hard to write. I know it's really bad. You don't have to mention it.

Angel: But there's Southern Governor POV!

Total: Someone died.

me: Shh! Anyway, enjoy!

IMPORTANT: The next update will take longer then expected. An Elder from our church just passed away this morning. Mom got a text from Mrs. D (his daughter) at about 4:30 this morning. His funeral is Friday. Our families were really close, and he might as well have been blood for how much a cared for him. He couldn't even breath by himself, I know it's better. But updates will still take longer.

-Max POV-

I tackled Ella to the ground, covering her from any attack. I was determined not to be moved. My breathing was deep and heavy as I waited to see how it would play out. Well, I wouldn't see,I refused to look behind me, but I would hear it. Surly there would be some punishment to attacking a citizen, Competitor or not, even if he was the Governor.

I imagined Fang covering me and Ella. I had to. His goal was to kill me! He wouldn't save me from his Governor, that would just save him from getting his hands dirty. And he could be killed for attacking the Governor! He wouldn't have done that to save someone he would have had to kill anyway.

The grunting and hissing was unmistakable, even with Ella's cries in my ear. There was a serious fight going on above us.

A body slammed into mine from above, hitting my arched back and putting strain on my legs, pulled under my back, hopefully offering better coverage for the both of us. Apparently Ella felt it too, because she screamed in my ear. I heard choking above me. Was it Fang? How could I let his Governor choke him to death after he saved both our lives?

Shaking like a leaf, I slowly moved my head and peeked out of the bend in my arm. The Southern Governor was holding Ella and I close. The frown on her face showed that she didn't think that any of us would survive. Northern Governor had Fang in a headlock. Before I could react, Fang had pried his arm off without a grunt.

But with a flash, both of the Governor's hands were at Fang's throat.

I slowly tried to stand up to help him. Fang held out his hand to stop me. "No... Protect... Ella." The Governor's weight kept me down. I heard a scream as warm red liquid splattered on my skin.

-Southern Governor POV- (I thought it would be awesome to get her take on this! Wouldn't it?)

I was freaking out from the moment Ella started talking smack about the Northern Governor. I never would have let her in here if I thought she would cause trouble. Needless to say, she'll never be allowed in again, that is, if she and Max survive... anything.

You don't want to get the Northern Governor upset, I had experienced that firsthand. And I almost lost an arm from it.

Max and Ella are like my daughters. The closest to daughters I have, at least. I never had any kids. My husband died at a young age. So when he started charging towards my two favorite girls, I started running as fast as I could. But Fang beat me, throwing himself in the way.

"Get out of the way, Fang," he hissed, not taking his eyes from Ella as Max pulled her to the ground. But Fang stood his ground.

As I reached them, Fang shot me a don't-get-involved glare. He could take the Governor, he's survived so many Competitions. And one of my boys gave him a real tough time... Maybe even worse then the Governor would. But not likely. And Fang barley survived the Ring with Justin...

So I did the next best thing I could think of. I slammed myself on Max. I heard her squeal and Ella scream. Poor girl, she had three times her weight piled up on her...

I recognized Fang's cries of pain even though I couldn't see him. The Northern Governor was tearing him like paper. If he was mad enough to hurt his own pride, his own people, he could tear us to shreds in an instant. He's always had a nasty temper, but never like this. Was Ella's big mouth really worth all of this? I didn't think so.

The gagging and cries were almost too much. It was my job to keep peace. I wan't able to do my job. And it was killing me.

"No... Protect... Ella," I heard Fang gasp. What? I opened my eyes fast enough to see a knife falling down on us. I let out a scream before it hit me.

-Fang POV-

I was the only thing that kept Governor from body slamming/ripping to shreds Max and Ella. He said I was a 'valuable Competitor' in the Ring, that was probably the only reason we weren't all being killed.

But I was the only one who knew he had a knife in his back pocket. Really, I think even he forgot.

"Get out of way, Fang," he hissed, his cold voice slicing through the air and slapping me in the face. He didn't even notice, he was eyeing Max protecting Ella like a little animal lover and a puppy. But I refused to move from the spot. I saw the Souther Governor reach us, hesitiating on if she should help me. I flashed her a don't-you-dare-get-involved glare, and she went to protecting Max.

Governor's eyes flashed. He grabbed the collar of my shirt and tried to push me out of the way. Wow, he was strong. But I was stronger.

In a flash, I had him on the ground.

I won't let you in on the fight details. They were really bloody and... gross. Let's just flip to what's important.

I turned my head for a second to make sure the sandwitch on the ground was okay, and that's where he got the upper hand. His arm locked around my throat, slowly pushing his arm to cut off my airway. I clawed at his arm to get it away, but it was no use. I saw Max's eyes from the bend of her elbow, trying to stand up despite the Governor's weight.

"No... Protect... Ella," I croaked, the Governor's arm getting tighter with every word.

I kicked the Governor in the leg and sunk my nails into his hands. He hissed as his arm loosened just long enough for me to rip out of his grip. I grabbed the handle and jerked out the knife. Governor turned on his heels.

"You're making a mistake, Fang," he hissed.

"Am I?" I held the knife up as if to mock him.

His hand whiped out and hit mine, sending the knife flying. I should have kept my eyes on Governor, but I followed the sight of the kife. The Southern Governor screamed as it hit her back. Oh my goodness, I just killed the Southern Governor.

The back door opened and officials poured in, taking the Southern Governor's body and arresting the Northern Goverenor. Why didn't they come sooner? The M&G is always closely monitored, in case the Governors need help if a fight breaks out.

Max slowly stood up, pulling a screaming Ella behind her. Her eyes widened at the sight of her Governor, covered in blood.

me: Fortuntly, I wrote this chapter last night. If I had to write it now, I would have started crying.

Angel: She keeps listening to If I Die Young by The Band Perry.

me: It actually makes me feel better, even if it's a song about death. I hope you understand that we're going through really hard times.

Total: But she'll have the next chapter up as soon as she can.

me: Yes I will. If you review, I'll try to write more sooner!
