Hi! I finally came up with another story idea. I am so sorry that it has taken me so long.
Disclaimer: I don't own Divergent
Tris POV
Peter wraps a hand around my throat and lifts me up, his thumb wedge under my chin. His hair, which is usually shiny and smooth, is tousled and sticks to his forehead. His pale face is contorted and his teeth are gritted, and he holds me over the chasm as spots appear on the edges of my vision, crowding around his face, green and pink and blue. He says nothing. I try to kick him, but my legs are too short. My lungs scream for air.
I hear a shout, and he releases me.
I stretched out my arms as I fall, gasping and my armpits slam into the railing. I hook my elbows over it and groan. Mist touches my ankles. The world dips and sways around me, and someone is on the Pit floor, Drew, screaming. I hear thumps, kicks, groans.
I blink a little bit and concentrate as hard as I can on the only person I can see. His eyes are hazel.
"Eric." I croak.
I close my eyes, and his hands wrap around my arms, right where they join the shoulder. He pulls me up and over the railing and against his surprisingly warm chest, gathering me into his arms, easing an arm under my knees. I press my head into his chest, and there is a sudden, hollow silence.
I woke up from the dream, covered in sweat. I have been having that same dream every night for a while now. But I don't think anything of it.
Today is the day we find out what our final ranking is. I'm a little nervous about what place I'm going to get, but I know I shouldn't.
All of a sudden, I hear a banging coming from the dormitory entrance. I look over and see my brother, Tobias, though everybody calls him Four, standing with two pans in his hands.
"Alright initiates! Time to get up! When you are done getting ready head to the cafeteria! Hurry! We won't wait for you!" He yells.
As he's turning to leave his eyes find mine, and he looks at me for a moment before leaving the rest of us to get ready.
I hear a groan next to me and then a thump.
I look over and Christina is on the floor, along with half of her blanket.
"I was having a great dream though." She says.
"What were you dreaming about?" I ask.
"Will. Obviously." She replies as she stands up.
"That's sweet, babe." I hear a voice behind me say. I don't need to turn around to know who it is. It's Will.
I hurry and get dressed and wait for Will and Christina to finish getting ready.
When they are done we start making our way to the cafeteria.
"What ranking do you think you got?" Will asks.
"I don't know. But I hope I don't get cut." Christina replies.
As we walk into the cafeteria, Tobias stands up.
"All right, this is moment you've been waiting for." He says.
And he reveals the rankings. And my heart stops at what I see.
Thanks for reading!
