Here's another chapter. This one is long. 1,762 words :) Enjoy! :)
Chapter 8:
Tris's POV
I can't believe Tobias is alive. He's really here. I'm afraid of what they're going to do to him, but I'm also happy that he came for me. It proves that he actually loves me.
They put me under a simulation once where Tobias didn't love me. That simulation was one of the worse ones. Everytime I think about that simulation, tears spring to my eyes. I think that Tobias stole part of my heart. My heart doesn't feel complete without him.
I slowly get up and start to jog around the room. I feel more motivated now that I know Tobias is alive. I will do whatever it takes to be with him. He is my other half.
I jog around the room until I get too tired to jog anymore. I can feel myself getting stronger. I can run for a little bit longer now than I could a couple days ago. After I can stop panting, I do some exercises.
My body is sore from my makeshift work out. I sit back down in the corner of the room. I keep trying to form a plan of escape but everything I think of has a fault.
Before I can form a plan the door flings open. A tall looking woman in a white lab coat comes in and begins walking towards me. She has short dark brown hair and lightly tanned skin. Before I can say anything she roughly grabs me by my arm and drags me out the room. I protest but it makes no difference.
It feels like we have been walking down the ever-stretching hallway for hours. We reach a door marked Observation. We walk in and I feel like I'm blinded. The floor, walls and the ceiling are all white. The only thing not white is the table like thing and the two way mirror. As I see the table I start to squirm and the lady's grip on me tightens.
I will not lay on that table. I keep telling myself that as we draw nearer. I resist her pull and that's when two burly looking guards come barging into the room. They hold me down as she straps me down to the table.
"Today we're going to try something new," she says, showing no emotions whatsoever.
"Where's David?" I ask her.
"David is busy right now, so I am here to take his place," she said. I can tell that she's lying, but I decide to not push it any farther.
She walks out of the room for a few minutes and then comes back in.
"Beatrice, there is something special about you. You can do things that most other Divergents can't. We're still trying to understand why. What makes you so special? All of the simulations that we have tried failed. We need you to answer some questions. Truthfully," She says to me.
"Why would I help you? Your just going to kill me anyways," I say my voice dripping with venom.
"Beatrice, we're just trying to help you,' she says to me. I know that she's lying. They're just as evil as Jeanine.
"I guess we're just going to have to do this hard way," she sighs.
Before I can protest, she pulls out a syringe and stabs me in the neck. A few minutes later when the serum takes effect, she asks me a question.
"How are you aware that you are in a simulation?'
I realize that they must not know any of stuff jeanine found out about me. I have a small smirk on my face because of my small victory but it soon becomes a frown. I want to lie, but it's so hard. She must have gave the truth serum. That bastard. I am gripping the sides of table so hard that my knuckles are starting to turn white. My sentence comes out in bits and parts as I try to gain control of my body. "I...am….Divergent….I….notice things,"
The lady, I think her name tag says Amy, smirks and then asks, "What kind of things?"
I am trying so hard to gain control of my words, that I'm almost panting like a dog.
"I….notice..." I stop talking because I'm now sobbing, the sobs racking my body. It hurts so bad to resist the serum but I know that I must. I can't let them win. I won't.
"Beatrice, tell me. I need to know, this is very important," she says frustration lacing her voice.
I smirk. I know that she's frustrated and I'm glad. As the truth serum kicks in I'm forced to talk. "The….Personalities...are different….and details," I say, my body shaking with all of the effort. I will not let them know what Jeanine found out about me.
Amy smiles evilly at me and says "Very good Beatrice. Thank you."
As she walks out of the room, the guards begin to unstrap me from the cold and hard metal table. I don't have the energy to fight them, so I just let them drag me out of the room. When will the misery end?
As they drag me down the never ending hall, I see Tobias being escorted down the hall. With as much energy as I can gather, I shout, "Tobias!"
He turns his head and his eyes immediately brighten. "Tris!" he yells. As he struggles against the bodyguards I yell to him, "I love you. Don't ever forget that!"
He stops struggling and the guards quickly gain control. As we pass in the hallway he whispers to me, "I always loved you and I can never stop." His hand brushes my cheek and then we're forced to go our separate ways.
As I sit in 'my room', I can feel the truth serum start to wear off. I can still feel where Tobias's hand brushed my cheek. His words fresh in my mind. "I've always loved you and I can never stop."
I smile at the memory that just happened minutes ago. With newfound determination, I begin to jog around the room, ignoring my body's complaint's. I will make it out of here. No matter what it takes.
Tobias's POV:
I jog around the cold and depressing room that I'm kept in. I have to do something to keep myself from going insane. It's slowly killing me on the inside, not being able to see Tris.
The door flings open with a thud and a security guard barges in. I put up a small fight. A sign of resistance. I usually stop when they threaten to taser me. It hurts like hell. We pass room after room until we reach a room called simulations.
I'm strapped down to a table and they start to put wires all over my body. A few minutes later I'm injected with a syringe and everything goes black.
The next thing I know is that I'm in a room but I'm alone. The door creaks open and Tris walks in. I can't believe my eyes. She here. I run up to her and give her a hug, but she doesn't hug back. I pull back, hurt.
She gives me a weird look and says, "Four, I don't love you anymore. I honestly never have. You were just another guy. I found someone better."
Tears instantly spring to my eyes. She gives me a weird look again and walks out of the room.
My heart feels like it has been torn apart over and over again. It hurts so bad that I have to bend over and rest my hands on my knees. I can barely support my own grief. I don't bother to hide the tears anymore. I'm broken. The only girl I've ever loved and will ever love doesn't love me and she never did. I cry harder than I have cried in my entire life. I barely ever cry. I saved my tears for times like this.
I look over and see some pictures of Tris hanging on the wall. I walk over to look at them. One is of her and a stranger kissing. I am immediately jealous. I look at the next one and its a picture of her smiling. I look closer at the picture and that's when I realize that this isn't real. It's all a simulation. Her eyes look different and her teeth look straight when they really aren't. The golden blonde hair is a different shade than it should.
I turn away and look for something sharp. I find a knife sitting on a table. I grab it and plunge it into my chest; right where my heart should be. The world slowly dissolves around me and I jolt awake. I look around see the familiar surroundings of the simulation room. The guards unstrap me and as I'm walking out of the room, I hear a yell of frustration which makes me smile. I'm going to give them hell no matter what it takes.
The guards drag me down the hall and we're halfway to 'my room' when I hear a familiar voice yell my name. I look up and my whole mood instantly brightens when I see Tris. I call her name and start to struggle against the guards. I must get to her. I must.
I stop when I hear her yell, "I love you! Don't ever forget that!"
I could never forget that, even if I tried. As we pass each other, I brush my hand against her warm cheek and say in a low whisper so only she can hear me, "I've always loved you and I can never stop."
We are forced to go our separate ways. I'm thrown into 'my room' and I just lay on the ground thinking about Tris. I must find my way back to her. I have to see her again. To hold her again. I must. I will.
Okay, so I need some ideas of what to do for the next chapters. I have a little bit of writers block right now so please help! :)
