Chapter 2: Capture the Flag
When we get back I tell Tobias I'm running back to Christina's and my dorm to grab a jacket "I'll see you in a few minutes at dinner" I say kissing him quickly before running off.
When I walk into the rom Christina and I share, I see her and Will kissing very animatedly on Christina's bad. I smirk, "um hey guys…I don't mean to interrupt" Christina scowls at me and will blushes, embarrassed "we need to head down to dinner" I say apologetically. I grab my jacket and they follow me out holding hands.
Once we've finished dinner we talk for a few minutes, letting our food digest before we head out. Once its dark we all get up from the table and start running to catch the train. Uriah and Zeke both have huge bags slung over one shoulder, no doubt carrying paintball guns.
We get to the platform just in time to see the front lights of the train appear around the corner. We start running, and Tobias jumps on before me putting his hand out to pull me up into a hug and kisses me "ready to win?" he smirks. "Course" I smile back looking up into his dark eyes.
"alright, how about you two" Zeke points at Tobias and me, as he hands a gun to each of us "with Christina and Will, verses Shauna, Uri, Marlene and I" "if you're eager to loose" Tobias smiles. "Well see about that, four" Uriah yell grabbing Marlene's hand and jumping out, Zeke and Shauna follow, taking their flag.
We wait a few minutes, and then the four of us jump out too. "So where should we put the flag?" asks Will. "We could bury it" says Christina. : no it has to be visible" says Tobias. "Four, give me the flag, I have an idea". He gives me the flag and I run to the fairest wheel. I start to climb, Christina shouts up at me, "what are you doing?!" "I'm going to hang it on the top!" Once I've reached the top I secure the flag be tying it to one of the poles that extends across it.
As I start to climb back down I stop every few feet to look for the other flag. I'm almost a quarter of the way down when I see it. It looks like its hung in midair, then I realize what it's near, the Hancock building, the zip line!
I climb down as fast as I can. When I get to the bottom I grab Christina's hand "come on, I know where it is" "where?" says Tobias looking almost jealous that I hadn't chosen him. "You won't like it, you stay here with will". And I pull Christina and we start running to the Hancock building. "Where are we going?" she asks her breath heavy. "You'll see".
We get close and I stow down creeping from building to building. Shauna is guarding the door. Christina rolls out from next to me and shoots Shauna in the leg and shoulder and I reach around the corner of the building and shoot her stomach and chest. She slumps over, she's fine but she can't shoot us. I take Christina up the elevator our guns ready, there's bound to be someone else at the top. Christina and I each place ourselves in the front corners of the elevator so when the doors open it will look empty.
And sure enough when the door opens there's Uriah pointing a gun in at the open elevator. For a second he looks confused. And the next second Christina has slid out onto her stomach and is shooting up at Uriah's chest. But not before he has time to shoot, he hits me in my shoulder missing Christina. It's not bad, the pain will be gone in a few minutes, but it will leave a burse. He slumps over, "here help me with him" I pull on his arms and Christina grabs his leg. We pull his into the elevator and send it back down to the ground floor.
I walk over to the cable, perfect, they left us two harnesses.
I start to strap Christina into one when I realize something, how will we get down at the bottom with no one there to catch us? I search the roof for something to use, and fine a rope.
I finish strapping Christina in "part way down you'll have to pull the breaks to grab the flag". "Alright" she looks a little scared but I can see the excitement in her eyes.
I let her go, I hear her gasp but she doesn't scream. After a few second I hear her screaming, she got the flag. Once is seems like she's has a sufficient amount of time to get down I strap myself up and jump off. I spread my arms and close my eyes, I feel like I'm flying. When I hear Christina calling my name I reach back and pull my break. Christina left a rope tied to the chord for me, I unhook and scramble down. Zeke comes running toward us "damn you guys! I thought our spot was so good!" "Sorry Zeke you lose!" Christina shoves the flag in his face.
We walk back to the fairest wheel; we can see three fingers in the distance, Tobias and Marlene supporting Will. Christina runs over to them. "Zeke shot him three times in the leg he'll be fine in the morning just bruised" says Tobias gently sitting will down and walking over to me. "You should be in Erudite that was a smart move you pulled pack there." And he kisses me running his hands through my hair. "Alright you two, we have to go collect the others, so save your lovely dovy pish posh for later" "fine" I say pulling away from Tobias.
Christina and Marlene steady Will and we all walk back to the Hancock building to collect the others. Uriah is still in the elevator where we left him but Shauna is leaned up against the wall holding her stomach.
Zeke walks to the elevator and starts shaking Uriah till he wakes up. He wraps his arm around Zeke's shoulder and I support Sauna and we walk back to the train platform. Luckily by the time we get back to the tracks everyone seems to be able to walk on their own. Those of us who weren't badly injured jump onto the train first to help everyone else.
We all slump back on the wall of the train, suddenly exhausted, and without warning we all start laughing. Capture the flag is always fun, especially with Dauntless. "How do you always win?" Zeke crosses his arms and glares at Tobias. "Because I always have Tris" he smiles, pulling me to his side, smirking.
