chapter six: Am

        I was falling throught the air. The king had captured me and jumped out a window. I hoped that Max would make a cloud or something that saved me. As we fell I wondered how I could be so stupid.
        I saw the king elbow May in the face and I ran after him to try and stop him from escaping. I should have known that he would overpower me.
        It felt like we were falling incredibly slowly. I felt as though I had the time to reflect on everything in my life.
        I remembered my house. The one I lived in before I ran away. I lived in a shack. It was worn down and falling apart. My mother was a drug addict. She did everything but sell me to get her drugs or money for the drugs. She was abusive. I had to get out of there. I ran away and never looked back.
        On my journey to the island I met May. She ran away from her dad. I met her somewhere in South America. She and I got to talking and decided to travel together.
        A few months later we met Sam and Max. May was playing her guitar and was singing for money. Sam and max showed up and dug through their pockets to give is all the change they had.
        "Thank you misters." I said.
        "Were are you from?" Max asked.
        "Texas."
        "What about you?"
        "Wyoming." May responded.
        "Where are you heading?"
        "To the island." I responded.
        "You should come with us. This is Sam and I'm Max. We're on our way to the island too."
        "This is May. I'm Amber."
        "Well ladies we better get going." The four of us had traveled together ever since.
        Max flirted with me quite a bit. One day he kissed me. Then we became a couple. Eventually Max proposed to me. He didn't have a ring and we never legally got married. He did promise me all his love. Till the day he died.
        Sam and I got very close during our traveling. He was more attracted to May than to me. I actually liked Sam more to begin with. I slowly began to like our friendship more and eventually I had no interest in dating Sam. He however became my best friend and I was closer to him than I was to May.
        I looked down to see how close the ground was. I was delighted to see that below us want a yellow cloud. When the king landed on it, it acted like a bear trap and captured the both us us in an unbreakable prison.
        Shortly afterwards Max dropped down onto the cloud. He stabbed the arm of the king that was around my neck with a knife. This caused the king to let me go and Max yanked me out of his reach. The king was stuck in the trap. Max produced a chain around the kings neck. He held tightly to the other end of the chain.
        We floated back up to the window we fell out of. Sam and May were arguing with the crowd. They seemed shocked by the fact that Max had saved me, but they didn't care about the fact that the king was back.
        "You guys murdered E!" A man about E's age shouted.
        "We saved E! We gave him food, tought him how to use his powers, and gave him blankets to keep him warm! We gave him a place to live and aloud him to experience life for the first time ever! He was impaled by a palace guard! It was your precious king that killed him!" Sam shouted back. He was very angry.
        The people grew silent as they realized that they were on the wrong side of justice.
