Chapter 3

Hey guys, cutting to the chase, Divergent is NOT mine, it's Veronica Roth's.

Tobias' P.O.V.

I run up to the control room and stand in the door casually. "Hey Michael," I say, "how about I take your shift?"

"Why?" He asks suspicious, he knows I would never do this.

"Because I'm bored, with nothing else to do." Easily coming up with a lie,"I can't sleep, so I thought I'd come up here."

"What happened to your girlfriend?"he smirks with just one corner of his mouth raising the opposite eyebrow. How did he know? He couldn't possibly know! We kept it hidden until today, and everyone was too busy to pay attention to us.

Astonished and not knowing what else to say, I respond,"Wow, word spreads quick."

"Only when Zeke's around," he answers my unspoken question. I'll have to go pummel Zeke later.

"Well, she's busy so...?"

"I..."he never finished. The program popped up on a screen behind him. His eyes glazed over as if he were in a simulation. He lifted his gun and aimed at me. I quickly dive forward to his left. He didn't have enough time to perfectly readjust so he shot my leg. I quickly stand but without the support of my leg though I had to rely on the wall. He takes aim again but I sidestep to my right and the bullet glazes my ribs. I fall in sudden bursts of pain. I realize I can't win this fight without hurting him. But he is in a simulation and doesn't realize what he's doing. It feels like I am back in my fear landscape and I know what I have to do, but I can't. He is innocent unlike the women pointing a gun at me and I know him. I raise my gun as I lay on the ground and aim at his head.

"I'm sorry..." I say but I quickly change aim and shoot his wrists so he can no longer hold the gun. He drops it and walks out, looking slightly confused as if he didn't know what to do now.

I pull myself up to the panel and into a seat so I can see what I'm doing. Rapidly, I begin to type the codes falling into my head and triggering my brain into giving results. I begin to see people walking out into the pits in lines. I quicken my pace further. I look up to see Tris dangling by Peter's hands into the chasm. No!NO!NO!NO!NOO! I shout in my head as I type even faster. Finally I'm done but when I look up I see Peter release her. "NO!" I shout aloud, not caring who hears me. She catches herself by her fingertips. I want to go help her but by the time I got down there she'd be dead. Then I realize there is something I can do. Now that everyone is free someone is bound to see and help her but unless I get the hard drive out they will go back into their trance. My best chance to help her is to help everyone else. I type quickly and efficiently until the hard drive pops out. There, I pull it out and put it in my pocket before losing consciousness, I can't move. My leg won't function and my adrenaline has run dry from the gun shot to my ribs. I think this might be it but at least Tris will be safe, if not we will be together soon.

Tris' P.O.V.

I dangle by my fingertips over the chasm, slipping constantly. Peter steps on my right hand, hoping to hurry the process along, I let go with that hand. But my left hand is weaker, and I know it isn't long before I fall. Peter lift's his foot to step on my other hand and finish his work from a few days ago. I hear a loud moan and Peter is no longer there and neither is Eric. My fingers are about to slip though, until a large hand grabs my wrists and pulls me easily over. There stands Uriah, smiling as always. So Tobias did it, it worked, but where is he?

"Hey Tris, you okay?" he asks the others had gathered around and I see Peter and Eric unconscious nearby but still no Toby. Toby? Huh, weird but I like it.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you but where's T-Four!?" I say quickly correcting myself.

"I don't know haven't seen him."

"Where's the control room!?"he sees my distress and doesn't hesitate.

"This way," he runs up the pire with me on his heels. We go to a lone room in a hallway. I slam the door open and see him slumped in a chair. Their isn't too much blood but he's still unconscious. Uriah doesn't ask anything he just lifts him up over his shoulder and carries him to the infirmary.

I sit by his bed and wait for him to wake up, their wasn't too much damage but he does have a giant ace bandage wrapped around his entire torso and another wrapped around his leg. He simply blacked out because of shock of the second bullet on his body. Finally, his eyes flutter open.

"Tris?" he mutters almost incoherently.

"I'm here, I'm fine, you did it." I say taking his hand to reassure him. I kiss him gently on his soft lips. it may not be as passionate or heated as our other kisses but that doesn't reduce its electricity. Instead it's comfort.

Don't worry this isn't the end it will continue with slightly more fluff but i promise it won't all be fluff.-3k7
