Grace's POV
A gunshot rings out and Cody crumples to the floor, screaming in pain. Issac pulls the trigger again and this time, Cody stops breathing. I'm hidden in a corner, but realize if he finds me, I have no where to run. Another gunshot rings out and I hear Katy groan. Marie scans the room and sees me in the corner. Issac tries to shoot her, but she's to fast, she can outrun a bullet, which is nearly impossible. I hear more gunshots and wince, the ear splitting sound of the gun firing at an initiate. I see Josh, clutching his stomach, and I can't help but run to him. "There you are pretty girl." Issac smiles, and aims the gun at my forehead. I close my eyes and wait for the pain to come. I hear the gunshot, but I don't feel it. I open my eyes and see Marie's lifeless body on the floor, I scream as I stand and knock the gun out of Issac's hands, and kick him to his feet. He struggles to grab hold of the gun, but he manages, and I know that in a few seconds, I'll be with Marie, lifeless on the floor, but instead Issac shoots himself in the head.
I sob, Marie is gone, it's difficult to even admit it in my thoughts. She died...protecting me. It should have been me! I should be dead! I try to hold back tears as I sprint to the train, and pull myself in. "Look who we've got here." I look to see a train filled with factionless. "What's your name?" A man in an eye-patch demands, "Edward, be nice." A woman Ebony hair and skin as pale as snow, says. "Lila, you aren't apart of this." The man- Edward tells her. Lila wears yellow, like the Amity, and a sunset orange shawl. "What is your name darlin'" She asks in a kind voice, "Grace Natalie Eaton." I stand up straighter. Edward turns to Lila, "When we get back, bring her to Evelyn."
I honestly don't care what happened to me, everyone I care about are dead. Josh is as good as dead, and Marie sacrificed herself for me. They took me to the Factionless sector with them, which looked quite good based on their limited resources. Lila led me towards the back of the sector, and knocked on a door. A woman opens the door greeting Lila, "She says her last name is Eaton." The woman nods and takes me inside.
left. "Hello, I am Evelyn, leader of the Factionless."
She explained to me a few things, and how the Abnegation exiled her when she was younger. And... how she regretted leaving her only child... Tobias Eaton. "So, let me get this straight. You are my long lost grandmother that my Dad said died of childbirth when he was young?" I make it sound like a question, and I'm sure it is. "Yep, that's basically it." Evelyn answers, I scan her face for resemblance, and I find out we're almost identical. "Well that explains why my Parents don't want to me to pass the Factionless sector." I force a laugh, and stand up. "It was nice meeting you Evelyn. And I promise I'll visit you often." I tell her. She nods and opens the door, and I hug her before I leave. "Lila, take Grace back to the train and make sure she gets home safely." Lila nods and leads me out the door.
I don't go back to the dormitory, instead, I go pay a visit to my Parents.
"Why didn't you tell me about Evelyn!?" I scream at my Parents, and my Father looks at my Mother. "Well it's not like you would've met her later on!" Andrew stands in the doorway, dressed in his Candor attire. "You told Andrew!?" I'm furious, I feel like steam is coming out of my ears. Then the anger turns to tears. "Wow, talk about a mood swing." Andrew says sarcastically. I walk up to him and punch him in the jaw, "Don't you dare say that! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING!?" I run out of the room and go to the place no one will ever find me, the fear landscape room.
IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE!
Sorry for the short chapter, I just wanted it to go up today. But, I promise next chapter will be better. I just couldn't continue writing without wanting to cry. I've been planning this chapter for a while, and I knew I might get some hate, and I'm letting you all know, I loved Marie, so do not go screaming around your neighborhood saying, "SHE KILLED HER OFF!" Hysterically, because I think you'll either need to end up in a mental institution or be grounded for the rest of your life. But, don't worry, it's not over yet. This fanfiction has long ways to go, and I think I might right a sequel once this one is over. Leave a comment so I know what you guys want in the story.
OH, and like a superduperultramegaextreme shout out to PeggyH! I was looking at my comments and fanfiction stuff, and realized, that she was the first to follow and review! So thank you, if your still reading this super long A/N!
