Okay so before I do anymore chapters from his PoV I have to know: Do you guys like it when I do chapters from Maxon's PoV because they're really fun to right and stuff. Please review and tell me!

America's PoV

I bead out to the gardens to wait for Maxon. I haven't seen him all day. It's one of the few occasions he said I can come out without a guard since he'll be here.

I sit down on our bench to wait for him. The sun has just started going down but it's not dark yet. The sky is a beautiful mix of pink and orange and yellow and purple.

I sit for ten minutes but he's still not here. I wonder what's taking him so long? When Maxon still hasn't gotten here after another five minutes I get up and start to wonder around. I see a few guards standing by the doors to the castle but I don't feel like being watched so I start to walk deeper into the gardens. After a few minutes I hear a rustling sound in the bushes. It's gotten pretty dark by now and it's a little creepy so I make my way back to the bench.

I've sat down for no more than ten seconds when a man dresses in all black jumps out of the bushes. I scream just as the rebel alarm goes man, I guess he's a rebel, comes up and grabs me from behind, putting a hand over my mouth.

"Lady America," He sneers. That voice. No way. You have got to be kidding me. "Remember me? Jack?"

I start screaming some not-so-lady-like words at him but the get muffled by his hand. I decide to try a new approach. I might as well try to get away. That way I can say I went down fighting. I've always wanted to say that.

I start hitting Jack as hard as I can but end up just cutting my wrist on his belt.

"Okay. That's enough," He says and before I even have time to figure out what he says I'm hit across the head with something hard and everything goes black.

I wake up in a dark sell. My hands are chained to the wall behind me and there's a gag over my mouth. My pretty, cream dress is now dirty and bloody. Probably from my wrist which is bleeding alarmingly. I must've cut a vain.

A few minutes after I wake up Jack comes in with his two men. I forget their names so I'm just going to call them righty and lefty.

"Look," Jack sneers. "Our princess is awake!"Then he turns to lefty. "Get the camera."

Lefty leaves and returns in a minute with a video camera. Jack signals to righty and he comes over and takes off my gag.

"Care to say hi to your prince?" Jack smirks. So I guess it's sending video to the castle.

"Is it live?" I ask.

"Oh look! So bold," Jack says. "Asking questions all willy nilly." He glares at me. "Well I ask the questions here red." Then he motions to righty who comes up and slaps me across the face. Hard. Hard enough to bring tears to my eyes.

I flinch and turn to the camera. "Maxon. You need to stay safe. Don't come looking for me, I'm fine. Really."

Jack smirks. "Now we don't want that message to be sent across do we?" He nods at righty who kicks me in the side. I cry out but then bite my lip. I have to stay strong.

"Maxon, I'll be fine. I love you. Stay safe. I'll be-" But I never get to finish because everything goes black.

When I wake up again I'm still in the same sell. I think. It's kind of hard to tell. The only difference is that there is a small table with the camera resting on top. The camera is on. My gag is back on but I try to shake it off. After shaking my head violently for about thirty seconds I start to feel light headed and dizzy so I stop.

After a minute Jack comes in with righty and lefty.

"Finally!" Jack says. He nods at lefty who comes over and removes my gag.

"Well if you want me awake maybe you shouldn't knock me out so much!" I say. "Plus, then I might get a concussion and forget everything and then be no use to you!"

He glares at me but I just grin because I know I'm right.

"Alright. I'm already done with you. Come on, let's get this over with." Jack turns to me. "Where are the diaries?" I shrug. "Okay." He motions to lefty who comes forward with a belt. He walks around me so he's standing behind me, hen he raises the belt above his head and brings it down hard on my back.

"Let's try that again shall we?" Jack says. "Where are the diaries?" I shrug again and again, feel the searing pain on my back. We go through this five times and I don't shed a single tear. I refuse too.

"Staying strong for your prince are you?" Jack laughs, nodding his head at the camera. "We'll see how long that lasts." But there's no clock in hre so I guess I'll never know. All I know is that eventually I passed out from the pain.
