Thank you guys for making it this far! Please comment/review. That means the world to me :)
I guess I must have fallen asleep because I am jolted awake by a punch to the jaw. I snap awake and realize that Tris is not longer by my side. "Where is she?" I hiss angrily at David.
"Where do you think?" he says. He undoes my handcuffs and points a gun to my head. "I will escort you to the restroom. You will go before the main event." He takes me to the bathroom and gives me one minute. I can't do anything else. I will never see Tris again if I leave, and that Erudite knows it. So I finish up and walk back outside, where my handcuffs are returned. "Move," David says, putting the gun to my back, forcing me to move forward. This is definitely different than the initiation simulation. But David being the bad guy is the same.
We walk for about ten minutes, through winding corridors, like a maze. We finally reach a room and David slides a card through the slot and it opens. When it opens, I see Tris strapped to a table, her face wet with tears. "Tobias," she says quietly.
"You!" I yell and lunge at David. A huge jolt of electricity runs from my hand up and down my body, causing me to go down on the floor, writhing in pain.
"Another failed attempt. Regular handcuffs wouldn't have been enough. Ready to say goodbye?" he asks mockingly. He holds up a long needle filled with red liquid, the memory serum. "After this goes in, you have about a minute before it's bye-bye memories!" I watch as he walks over to Tris. She turns her head this way and that, and resorts to spitting on him. He slaps her across the face. "That's not very nice," he says and injects the serum into her throat. He then steps back and releases her binding. She collapses on the floor and I rush over to her. My handcuffs fall off and I scoop her up from the ground.
"Tobias, that's you right?" she asks silently.
"It's me," I say reassuringly. I make small circles on her hand with my thumb which makes her smile. "You'll be okay."
"Where am I?" she asks. "Where are we, Four?" she asks, puzzled.
"What's my name?" I ask her, scared.
"Four." She's loosing her memory fast.
"That's right. And who loves you?" I ask her.
"You do," she says and smiles at me. Her heart is beating faster as she struggles to remember it all. "I don't want to loose you Tobias!" she yells, obviously fighting it. She buries her head into my shoulder again and cries. "I can't."
"How heart warming," David says. "If you can't live with the pain, here," he says and throws a gun our way, the exits the door.
Tris picks up the gun. "Put that down," I say to her and take to gun.
"I don't want to live in a world where I don't remember you," she says, tears streaming down her face.
"I can help you," I say sternly.
"Once I loose my memory, he'll kill you, Four. I won't be able to stop him because I won't care," she says, choking on her sobs.
"It'll be okay, just you wait and see," I say.
"Okay. I trust you, Four," she says. Her pupils become big and her heartbeat increases even more. "Who are you?" she asks quietly. "I know you." She's fighting inside herself and I can't do anything about it. I'm still loosing her, but in a more painful way it seems.
"It's okay, just let go," I say. She looks into my eyes. I am so captivated by her looking at me that I don't notice her hand picking up the gun and slowly pointing it to her own head. She smiles at me again just as my eyes go wide and I see what she is about to do. "Tris, no!" I scream.
"I love you, Four," she says, another tear going down her cheek. I can't stop it this time. I reach out for the gun and move over her in what seems like slow motion. The gun goes off. The last thing I see is her smile before I loose consciousness.
