5 Months After
"Come on Christina. Just shoot her." Eric whispers in my ear. "shoot her like she shot Will." his reference to Will sends a tremor down my body. I can hardly believe what I'm doing.
I'm pointing a gun at my best friend. Tris lays on the ground looking strangely weak.
"I.. I can't do it." I say as I look into Tris' pleading blue eyes. She looks relieved, and somehow that makes me angry. "Just pull it, Christina. Pull the trigger." whispers Eric as he leans forward to kiss my neck.
It sends tremors down my body.
"Please. Please Christina. Don't do this." Tris says her voice cracking. "I though we were friends. We're frien-"
She breaks off as Eric kicks her in the face, hard.
She lets out a low scream as blood spurts from her nose.
"Shut up, you stiff." he yells aiming another kick at her body.
"Stop!" I'm suddenly screaming. "Stop. I-I'll do it."
Eric nods, a smile pulling his lips upward. "I knew you could do it." he murmurs. He grabs Tris by the hair and roughly drags her over to me. She struggles weakly, her eyes glazing over.
Eric guides the gun in my hand over to Tris' temple.
"Just pull the trigger. It'll be fast." he murmurs.
I nod. Can I do this?
Can I kill my best friend?
I put my hand on the trigger.
A shot goes off, and a piercing scream fills the air.
