A/N:
Sup my little ducklings, its MSC again coming back at you with chapter number 3.
I've been spending some time thinking about how to start this next chapter.
And it took a while.
But (man I'm breaking a lot of writing rules by starting sentence with and & but)
I'm back to start chapter 3.
Disclaimer: if I owned Divergent I wouldn't have let Tris die in Allegiant
All right on with the show!
TRIS POV:
I wake up with a sharp pain at the top right of my skull. Man who ever hit me got a good one in. Reaching up I feel a huge knot at the top of my head. There is also a thick warm substance covering the knot. Blood. Just great, I'm bleeding, in pain, and I have no idea where I am. I take this chance to check out my surroundings. The room is dark except for the dim light coming from the bottom crack of the door. A door! I try to stand up but I'm pulled right back down. What the?
I move my hand to feel what's around my ankles. There are two tight metal bindings surrounding both of my ankles. That makes no sense; why would they (whoever they are) tie down my ankles and leave my hands free? Suddenly it all clicks; I never had that much strength in my arms, so my punches weren't that great. I usually kicked people and used my legs. So whoever knocked me unconscious must have been around to know my fighting skills.
Something pricks my arm and I feel a dull pain there. Now I'm in a battle to stay conscious. Before everything goes black I catch the gleam of light hitting facial piercings. Eric. Suddenly everything goes black once again.
TOBIAS POV:
It's windy this morning or is it just the train's air draft? I can't tell the difference the only thing I'm thinking about is Tris. Is she still alive? Did someone take her or did she run away? Why did she run away? All these questions are running through my mind chasing after one another. The only thing keeping me sane is that I'm almost to Abnegation. I continue to pace inside the train car until it's time for me to jump.
I end up rolling on the gravel and pavement. Usually I land on my feet but today I'm on edge. I practically sprint to the city. It feels like I'm going 50 miles per hour, but I keep going. My legs start to tire but my brain and heart both chant: keep going! So that's what I do. All I want to see is her beautiful blonde hair and those gorgeous bluish gray eyes. I want to hold her perfectly short stature, but most of all I want to feel her warm soft lips flush against mine. That thought makes my legs move faster. If that's even possible.
Finally I make it to the fence that holds Abnegation. I jump over the fence with ease; I've done this quite a few times. Once I'm over the fence I start to pick up the same speed I was going before. I pass each drab gray house looking for the Prior's. 4581, 4592, 4601…. I go through addresses until I reach 4610, Tris's house. Well her old house. There are lights shining through the windows; I guess that means they're awake.
I make my way up the porch and pound on the door. It finally opens to reveal Mrs. Prior in her gray robes Abnegation's usually wear. "Hello Tobias, what brings you here?" she says in a polite tone.
"Tris was gone this morning and I looked everywhere for her but I couldn't find her; so I thought she came here." I say my mouth talking a mile a minute.
"Oh my, well she hasn't come here, do you have any idea where she might be?" she asks.
"No, I was for sure that she would be here; now I don't know where she might be." I reply my voice shaking a little at the end.
"What should we do?" she asks her voice calm but I can see definite fear in her eyes.
"I think we shou-"I am cut off by a rustle in the trees behind the house. I see two figures but I can't make what they are or who they are.
"What was that?" Mrs. Prior asks.
"I have no clue but maybe they have something to do with Tris." Before she can respond I sprint after the two figures.
TRIS POV:
I wake up again now to two pains on my body. My throbbing head and now my sore arm; where I've been pricked with something. I look around the now lightened room. Someone must have turned the lights on. I try to remember what happened before going unconscious for the second time. Okay let's see, I woke up to a pain in my head. So far so good; then I tried getting up but I was bound to the chair with metal clasps. I was pricked with something on my fore arm. Then I saw someone, who was it? Then it clicks, Eric. Eric was the one who injected something in my arm that made me go unconscious, but why? What was the purpose of knocking me out again? Couldn't they have done whatever they were doing while I was unconscious the first time?
I hear a door open and slam shut. I turn around only to become face to piercings with Eric. He has a cocky smirk which only stretches out his piercings even more. Gross! "What do want?" I say with anger lacing my words.
"Nothing, not from you anyway." He says.
"Then why am I here tied up to a metal chair?" I ask him.
"I needed to find a way to draw Four here." He says.
"And what do I have to do with any of this?" I say while panic starts to seep in. Why does he need Tobias here?
"Because Trissy Four would do anything for you and that's exactly why I took you." He pauses. "You see I spend a lot of time in the control room where the camera screens are located."
"I saw you leave late last night and I took the opportunity." He says
"But first I let you go to Abnegation, I stayed back and watched Four freak out; the I went after you." He says.
"Knowing that he would know where you went, I decided to beat him to the punch line." He pauses again. "Once I saw four arrive in Abnegation I knocked you unconscious."
"Then I dragged you to the woods behind the Abnegation sector." "I made sure that he saw me drag you away so he would chase after us."
"He should be here any minute now." He finishes smirking once again.
"Okay, what do you plan to do to him once he gets here." I ask dreading the answer.
"I plan to kill him." Just then I hear a loud groan coming from the hallway. Tobias.
A/N:
Before you do anything rash put the pitchforks down.
There you go ease it down nice and slowly. Good. Another cliffhanger it sucks doesn't it?
I promise I won't wait so long to update after this cliffhanger like I did the last chapter.
But let me make this very clear: I want 5 reviews before I update the next chapter. Kapeesh?
So if you don't want to wait in suspense I recommend that you review.
I promise nothing bad will happen to Tobias, unlike Veronica Roth I believe in happy endings.
But she still is pretty amazing *sigh*
Until next time my ducklings, read on!
~Yours forever MSC
PS: thank you Happycake1234 for favoring my story. You're one awesome duckling!
