I slowly woke up to see chaos everywhere. Me? I slowly got up almost falling back. I noticed Anna surrounded and quickly rushed to her gripping a piece of gla.s.s in my hand. Body's littered the floor. Blood everywhere. Even on me. I knew it wasn't my own. I quickly trapped one in a headlock making him fall unconscious. I quickly grabbed Mathews barely lifeless body pulling him under one of the balconies. Anna following behind me.

"What do we do?" Worry laced her voice. She was worried both about all three of us and what would happen if we lost.

"Take him to an empty room and I can try and stop the bleeding."

I quickly dragged his body again down a corridor away from the fight. Even in the hallways people, we're fighting. Gla.s.s littered the floors along with blood making it harder to walk on. I looked outside to see guards struggling to keep them back. The grounds were also on fire as the terrorists - who apparently has no name- shot fireb.a.l.l.s over the gate into the courtyard. There was no safe zone. I spotted a door slightly ajar. I slowly pushed it open to see Juliet and Macy. How I want to erase that from my memory so badly right now.

"What are you doing here?!" Juliet practically screamed. I covered her mouth to keep her quiet so we would be able to stay hidden.

"Listen up b.u.t.terface there's a war practically going on outside and you see the Prince, " I pointed to his body before continuing. "Is almost dead. I need you to be quiet so we can help him without getting caught. You got that?" She nodded her head slowly.

"Same goes to you." Anna pointed towards Macy who was huddled on the ground. She also nodded not trusting her words.

"Macy I need you to g find Rachel. I a.s.sume you know who she is." She nodded before quickly running off to find her.

"Why do we need her?" Juliet spat.

"Because she wanted to be a doctor she's the only one who can truly save him." I turned to face Anna who had tears in her eyes.

The door burst open to show Macy with a terrified Rachel and Belle?!

"What are you doing here?!" I yelled pulling her in.

"Trying to not die." She said sarcastically. She looks over to see her brother laying on the bed unmoving.

"MATHEW!" She screamed and ran over to him crying next to him just like Anna. We all just stood in awkward silence. Cries filled the room before Rachel moved over next to Belle.

"I need to help him okay?" She put a hand on Belles back to steady her. She nodded l her head and moved to the side while Rachel helped him.

I turned my head towards Juliet unable to look any longer. "Why did you sleep with him?"

"Hmm?" She turned her head to face me clearly shocked by what I said.

She just sighed before realizing I wasn't going to back down, "Because I knew if my parents found out I was a lesbian the would kill me. I'm the only one who could continue our family tree. So I slept with all those guys to hopefully be able to get an heir. I a.s.sumed if I did the would be happy and allow me to live my life with Macy."

I stood there unmoving. Trying to digest all the information. "You know that was stupid. Right?" Was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

"I realize that now and I'm ashamed of it."

"You should be." A new voice spoke up and I came face to face with Brook. I should just call her Brooklyn now after all she betrayed us.

"What the h.e.l.l do you want." Anger starting to rise in me and everyone in the room.

"I want you all dead." She replied bluntly.

"Why we never did anything to you?" I was confused now. We never did anything to her. Why was she angry?

"Yes, you did. I was always lonely in the group. Until Roshan came along." I heard Rachel gasp in the background.

"Whatever." I turned back around to face Mathew. I heard a click and something push against my head. A gun.

"Especially you Ava." She whispered causing me to shiver. But not the good kind. I squeezed my eyes shut knowing this was the end.

Just then we heard a loud sound. I felt the gun slowly back away from my head. I whipped around t find the lifeless body of Brooklyn on the ground. I looked up to see Cam standing there. Her breathing irregular.

"I just killed someone." She whispered barely audible.

"Yes, you did. Don't feel sorry she deserved it." I went up to her and wrapped my arms around her. She slowly hugged me back eyes never leaving Brooklyn's body. I turned around to see the body can as well. Her eyes were still open while blood poured out of her mouth. I winced at the sight. Anna looks like she was going to be sick while Rachel looks utterly calm.

"This is the best I can do without all the supplies and a real doctor." Rachel said to break up the tension in the room. Cam looked up to see Rachel shock written all across her face.

"I'm sorry." She spoke.

"Its fine I know you were just worried." The two cried and ran into each other's arms. Anna and I looked over again and smiled.

As if on cue the door flung open to reveal guards and an angry Thomas.

"We need a doctor!" He screamed. I instantly ran up to him almost tripping over my dress in the process.

Third Person POV

There they were. All together. Some were crying others just say there with the deceased. Families poured in. The infirmity had not a bed to spare. In the corner laid Prince Mathew surrounded by family and friends. The bed next to him held Ava who suffered some brain damage due to the fall she took earlier. She as well was also surrounded.

"Hey, Tommy!" Mathew screamed overdo where Thomas sat next to Ava.

"Don't call me that." He growled. Ava giggled at hearing the two talk.

"Fine but I have something to tell you." Thomas slowly sat up and walked towards his brother. Everyone moved over to Ava to give the two privacy.

"What?" Thomas said annoyance in his voice.

"You're going to be King baby brother!" The elder laughed throwing up his arms. The younger stood in a state of shock.

"Wh-at?" The younger stuttered.

"You see mom told me that I'm actually no her son. She knew my dad had an affair with someone. Therefore I'm not the true heir to the throne. You are!"

"Why are you excited about this?"

"Because of the expectations, I had to live up for so many years are gone. Mom did offer if you did step down from being General I could take over." A smile etched onto Mathews's face along with Thomas's.

✮ ✮

Mathew and Ava both left the infirmary quickly. The two were quite glad they didn't have to be stuck in that stuffy infirmary. Thomas eventually started training to be King while Mathew became the new General. Like Ava, Rachel, and Anna hoped Claire and Adrian got together. Whilst Calleb and Rachel hung out more. Their story wasn't over yet though. They had one last battle to fight.
