AN: Hey guys! It's my first ever fanfic on here! I'm really excited to be writing my first story, and I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm new on here, so please don't be too harsh but I will appreciate any constructive criticism. Thank you so much! :)
Shauna's POV
I wake up to the sound of Tris practically screaming into my ear.
"Shauna! Wake up! We need to get going! We're under attack!"
I don't say a single word as I quickly put on my bulletproof vest that I've been saving in case this happened. Ever since the Amity rebelled against their usual kind ways attacks have been happening in all of the factions, and now it was our turn.
Tris grabs my arm and sprints with me down to the cafeteria where the rest of the Dauntless are.
I see all of our friends standing there with their eyes bulging out of their sockets, when Tris's daughter Serafina is shoved to the ground by Johanna, the Amity leader.
"No! You don't touch her!" Tobias shouts with rage.
He runs over to Johanna and smacks her so hard, it could be heard all across the room.
"You bitch!" Johanna shouts as she shoots Tobias in the foot, failing to hit his heart.
Tobias's earsplitting scream makes everyone's heart ache including mine.
I somehow manage to open up my eyes and look at his foot.
Blood. All I see is blood, and it's all his.
Since Johanna is currently distracted by Tobias's bleeding ankle, Tris sprints with the rest of our group to grab Serafina.
One of the amity soldiers dashes out in front of us and grabs Zeke.
He puts a gun to his head, and my heart stops. I don't know what happens next because they say I passed out.
Here I am today waking up in the same dull gray room I have been for weeks now.
All around me are the other Dauntless who managed to survive that horrific day.
We have most of our friends, but we lost Will, and Marlene.
Zeke is still in critical condition at the hospital after he got shot. They say he was lucky to survive after the bullet went clean through his skull.
I've visited him several times, but he never wakes up. And I don't think he ever will.
I think about him a lot, and every time I do I feel guilty. I could have saved him, but I didn't. I just passed out and let him get shot.
All I want is to see him healthy, and alive.
I want that more than I want my freedom.
All of the Dauntless are being used as slaves here in Amity.
The Amity have turned from caring, kind citizens to sadistic, evil monsters.
I've gotten whipped several times, but I don't let a tear slip from my eyes.
I won't let them have that kind of satisfaction.
Some days, like today I lay in bed and wonder why I even keep going, why I don't just put myself out of misery.
But then I think of Zeke, and my whole perspective of things change.
Tris notices me thinking of him again and she walks over to me.
"We need to get out of here." She says with a stern look on her face. "We can't live like this anymore."
"I know we need to get out of here as fast as possible, but what about Zeke? I let him down back at the Dauntless headquarters, I can't do it again." I reply.
"I thought of that, but I know what to do. Uriah has clean up duty today at the hospital, and he says he's got a plan to get him out of there."
"Okay, but how is this going to work? There's guards everywhere, and they won't hesitate to shoot us."
She looks around to make sure nobody's looking before she says, "I found the peace serum."
"What?!" I whisper.
"Someone replaced the peace serum with a different one, that controls their mind and body. Whoever did it is out to destroy the factions."
"Okay, so do we like sneak into the cafeteria and drug their food?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Okay, it's a plan."
